She walked down the stairs elegantly as she arranged the clothes she wore. She looked around the house and every damn thing gave her goosebumps. She had never seen a place this large and beautiful. Everything in the house literally costs a fortune and she could tell just by looking at it.
Fuck! He's wealthy.She was beginning to feel tense. He is not a common man, no normal person would have this exquisite taste. She stepped down from the last stair as the maids gestured her to one of the sits at the large dining table, which consists of 18 chairs. She felt lost in the room.She looked at the table and her jaw dropped open. She had never seen anything like it. Every single dish you could ever ask for breakfast was on the table. She turned her head left to right when the maids served her. She was speechless. She had never been served before so, it felt awkward. She just watched them.She wondered where Scott was. He told her to come downstairs for breakfast. She looked at one of the maids as she spoke to feed her curiosity."Um, are you expecting guests?" Her tone was low. The maid bent her head as she answered her. She was shocked that the lady their master came home with was talking to her. For the records, Nolan never brought a woman to his private mansion. If this woman is here, then it must mean that she is special. All the maids paused as they watched her eat."No, ma'am".Ma'am?She just fucking called me ma'am...He came out of Nolan's room as he arranged his hair and took a deep breath. He just escaped from the devil. Lately, his moods have just been terrible. The only time he feels this way is when winter is around the corner. He lost Kyla during winter and he had never been a fan of the season since that happened.What the hell is his problem?He arranged his clothes and headed to the elevator.He sighed.If only there was a cure for his illness. Not being able to feel any emotion is equivalent to not being able to taste anything. At this point, he can only see colors and breathe, they were nothing more he could do apart from that. Kyla's death made him a lost cause.He stepped out of the elevator and strolled towards the large doors. The bodyguards in front of them opened the doors, bowing their heads in a slight nod in greeting. His steps were soft, he spotted her on the table. They just met and he doesn't really know her– even if he did a background check on her. But he could tell from the look on her face that she wasn't comfortable.Silly maids.The maids were standing directly beside Carolyn as they watched her eat. They didn't spot Scorpion coming. His voice sent chills down their body."Do you mind giving miss Carolyn a little bit of privacy"?There was no expression on his face. After what he just went through, he was still in a terrible mood and wouldn't mind venting the rage he felt on someone else. The maids bent their heads and quickly deserted the room.There was a smile on Carolyn's face but she could sense that something was wrong with him. She didn't want to sound and look all desperate, besides, they just met. But she couldn't help it. This is what happens to her all the time. Her hormones always seem to fail her whenever a hot dude is attached.The look on his face was what she couldn't seem to understand. Earlier he looked fine and all of a sudden he looks like he's just seen a ghost.Stay out of this Caro, it's none of your business.The more she stared at him, the more her control slipped. She tried to stuff her mouth with food but she felt like she was going to burst.Fuck!"Are you okay?" Her hormones failed her again and it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. It is going to go on and on until it messes things up for her. It is in control now and there is no way it won't embarrass her before it stops."You look like you have seen a ghost". She laughed nervously as his brows rose to her words.Fuck!It's not stopping."And that's just ridiculous because there are no ghosts here, am I right?" She snorted as she laughed hard.There, it has finally succeeded.It has embarrassed her.He only looked at her. If that was a joke, it had to be a terrible joke because it wasn't funny at all.She really doesn't know
She watched the lady walk up to her as her eyes stayed fixed on her. Long black hair, ocean blue eyes, long chin, full pink lips. Her white blouse was transparent, exposing her underwear, and the white pants she wore gave a full definition of her hips and her long legs. She was indeed elegant. She looked like she owned all the money in the world.Her eyes never left her face. She was lost in a trance and didn't even know that she was still looking at the lady. There was no fear in her eyes. She did not even know where that confidence came from. She just looked in admiration. When will she ever become this pretty? How are people blessed with this kind of beauty? Do these kinds of people not have any flaws? How is it even possible?She is so perfect!Carolyn diverted her gaze when Scorpion walked in. He looked surprised as he called her name."Sasha?" She turned around only to see the tall figure in front of her as she ran into his arms."Fucking hell Scott, I fucking missed you". He la
The room was dead silent and cold. His fingers scrolled lightly on the laptop as he sat relaxed. His eyes were fixed on what he did and he looked grim. The noise that came from his tummy diverted his focus from the screen but he continued with what he did. There was a thud on the door. Someone knocked. He looked up, his attention was now on the door. There was no expression on his face, he wasn't in a good mood.Scorpion walked in.His eyes were on him. He hesitated first before he walked in, and after having summoned a lot of courage, he stood in front of Nolan and started."I know you're still mad at me ... but there's someone here to see you"."I do not intend to see anyone, now please tell me the bug is gone". His eyes were dim. He didn't seem like he wanted to have this conversation."Um, are you sure you don't want to see this person?" Nolan was furious. He didn't look like he was in the mood for jokes. Just as he was about to explode on Scorpion, Sasha walked in."Nolan Armstro
She stood up from the table. She was done eating and was waiting for Scott to take her home as he had said earlier. It didn't seem like she was needed there anymore and she had embarrassed herself enough for one day in front of him.Damn it!He showed interest when they were in the room earlier, but after she ate in front of him, the green light turned red. He seemed to be interested in classy well mannered ladies, not a crazy creepy pancake-eating freak.She came out of the large dining room and walked into a large ball-like room that had many doors in each corner. She didn't even know which door to open, but she knew she was going to open one of the doors eventually because she didn't even remember the door she had just come out from. Each of these rooms lead somewhere and she was clueless.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she decided to take the first room on her right. It leads to a very large hallway. The hallway had doors too. She was confused. It felt like she was
There was a smile on Sasha's face. She didn't expect to see Caro in Nolan's room. She felt weird at first but she covered it up by walking toward her. Besides she hadn't gotten to know her cousin's new girlfriend. The last one didn't go well. She died before she even got to know her, and now after five years of being alone and nowhere to be found, there is another woman.Nolan would never bring a woman to his private home if she wasn't important to him and if he wasn't serious with her. She looks very calm and mature, she is obviously a billionaire, and she is intelligent. just by looking at her anyone could tell that she is very smart.They are definitely going to get married soon and she won't miss the opportunity to bond with the woman Nolan is going to spend the rest of his life with. She isn't going to let the incident that occurred five years ago happen again."Oh my gosh, Caro, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you wanted to spend some time with your sweetheart." She stood up and wa
She didn't know how to move her feet. She heard his words loud and clear and they registered in her head, but her brain had not processed the next move. She was lost and trapped in her own body. Move Caro move.Her feet suddenly felt heavy. She felt tears welling immediately. She didn't want to embarrass herself again, she had had enough for one day. It had been just a few hours since she met these hot men and she already feels intimidated.She fought really hard to blink back the tears but she couldn't. The hot mist rolled down her left cheek first, and before she knew what was happening, it started pouring down nonstop.left brow rose to her reaction as his eyes remained on her face.What the fuck is she doing?Are those tears?Is she crying?"I-I'm s-sorry". She barely made it through those words. She didn't even know why she was crying.Maybe the fact that she embarrassed herself, or the fact that no guy finds her attractive. Maybe the fact that she kept thinking that she could h
Scorpion's eyes strolled to her cheeks and he saw the dried tears- from the looks of things it was a couple of minutes ago. The cold hallway had obviously dried it up. He knew that Nolan must've roasted her alive judging from her reaction. He can't argue with her request; after all, this was what they wanted from the start. To get rid of her"As you wish".He gestured his hand to lead her out of the house. Carolyn walked directly behind him. Her head was bent to the floor, her white skin was still flushed, and her steps were barely heard. Her head was still wrapped around what had happened moments ago. The thoughts of it all were in her head. She remembered his eyes— never in her life had she ever been scared of looking into someone's eyes, but there was something about his that scared her out of her mind. Those eyes said all of his unspoken words that he didn't air out and somehow, she understood it all. She understood what he thought just from looking into his eyes.After a long wal
In the Royal Castle,"Make sure you put extra milk in that tea, Her majesty likes it that way"."Yes, ma'am".Cordelia the head maid gave out instructions strictly as she walked into the large dining room to make sure everything was in order. It had been a while since Her majesty gave orders. Ever since the young master left the house, it was as if he took the liveliness and happiness of the entire family."Arrange the white plates to the right and the cream-colored plates to the left". She ordered the two maids that were in charge of dishes."Yes, ma'am".At the same minute, one of the maids rushed into the room and towards her."Ma'am, Lady Sasha is back"."Oh is that so?" She nodded. "Get back to your duties then"."Yes, ma'am".Sasha walked straight into the Mansion and to the large stairway. She was beyond pissed. She didn't even want to talk to anyone or see anyone at the moment. Her entire mind was on the incident that happened not quite long ago in Nolan's house. It angered he
Suggested songs: Awaken (instrumental).Beach House - Space song.Running with the Wolves - Aurora.Victory- Two steps from hell.Every single step she took down the spiral stairs brought her closer and closer to the Royal household, seated on the long large table with eyes on the stairs, waiting for her to deflect to their level.Was she nervous? ... Gravely.Her heart thumped to every step she took, as she held her breath with wide eyes and shaky fingers. She wasn't herself at all... wanting to piss her pants the closer she got to those Crazy wealthy Royals... And to crown it all, the diamond fortune dress and jewelry she wore– they weren't helping matters at all. Hell, she was fighting for balance.And as her feet touched on the very last stair, his hands appeared there, right in front of her, outta nowhere... as though he tore through time and space just to take her attention With a look of shock on her face and a slight grin on his, she rested her trembling palm on his, taking
His scent.It filled everywhereShe was too deeply asleep, too drowned in his scent, too tired to open her eyes, but when she managed to, she caught a blurry glimpse of his back and dosed back off.This was the first time in her entire life she had felt at ease, and peaceful, this was the first time in a long while she had felt as though she belonged somewhere... as though she was home.Intense black eyes.Those eyes were unable to leave her thoughts ever since she set eyes on them. When they stared at her, it was as though they stared directly into her soul. And when he aired out his deep voice in question, it was as though he spoke into her soul.Carolyn...He had called her name with that voice and she had turned into jelly blushing solely like a fool, and now, he was in her dreams, looking as hot as ever in those black outfits.He really is a prince.Do all princes look this good? She hadn't been the type to get flustered by good looks and a 'sexy as hell' strong build because sh
"Are you up for it, Carolyn?"His eyes never diverted from her as he questioned her; this was the first time she did not have an answer to a question, this was the first time she was clueless about something.All she could do was stare at him while the buzzing sound in her head continued to play as she was at loss for words.Rule by his side? What does that mean?"I-I-I..." Stuttering while trying hard to breathe, he cut her off."I know you are not up for it, I also know that resculpting an already carved vase requires a lot of heat and professionalism, which is why I am going to give you a chance." with dark eyes, he mouthed and she shivered. " I will resculpt you, Carolyn."She lifted her eyes to his, staring intently. It was then she saw something flickered in his eyes, she had only just met him twice and had been up close to him only once— this was going to be the second time she had been privileged to be near him but in this short period, she had never seen this look he had in
"Your warm bath is ready, My Lady," Vanessa announced to Caro as she bowed slightly and exited the room. She didn't even look back or say any more than she did before she left, leaving Carolyn confused.Why did she leave like that?Did I do something wrong?She pouted swiftly before jolting up from the bed and taking wary steps with hesitation towards the large room they said was the bathroom. Her eyes grew wider with every passing second, making her gasp her lungs out as her jaws accompanied the surprise on her face.With uneasy breaths, she gulped and took a step in, carefully stepping on the glass-like floor not daring to breathe as she did so. And as her eyes surveyed the entire room, she couldn't help but tear up. Never in her life did she ever imagine that a day like this would come when she would dwell in the same place as a king or get the chance to stand in a place he once stood.She blushed at her thoughts immediately and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall out. S
The only sound coming from the enormous room was of knives and forks. The Royal dining room was silent as all ate cautiously in the presence of His Imperial Grace. This was the first time he was dining with them since his return and no one wanted to irritate him. Well, no one except Lady Serenity."Carolyn won't be joining us?" Serenity's voice aired in the silence as she wiped her mouth with her napkin. She traced her eyes to Sasha and then to the queen trying to stir up something to talk about with a naughty grin.She knows how well to start up a flame and cultivate it into hellfire with just the tip of her tongue. With Nolan present, now could be a good time to confirm her suspicions."I'm sure she will join us when she is fully recovered," Sasha answered her question with a wine placed on her lips afterward; at least she volunteered to break the awkwardness."Hmm, it's a bit unfortunate that her first day in the Royal household was welcomed with a tragedy, I wonder what the future
His eyes remained fixed on the document he signed as more piled up waiting for him. All his five years away only added more workload on his plates and different unmatched registers that were authorized illicitly with the Royal seal by members of the boards. He spent his entire morning hours looking into those files and rounded up everything by noon.During those hours nobody dared interrupted him. His study was completely out of access, likewise the entire hallway. Scorpion on the other hand had been out for hours, carrying out the orders of his Imperial Grace. He ensured that he went into the least detail about Carolyn and suddenly grew interested in the mission when he found out intriguing things about the weird woman. He was rather fascinated and couldn't wait to return to Nolan with Every detail...The knock on the door had Carolyn jolting from the position in which she sat. She had stuffed herself and was still trying to catch her breath when Sasha came in with a smile on her
Serenity sat on the table very calmly. She was present, but her focus was on something else. Sasha on the other hand sipped her tea calmly. She wasn't being her usual chatty self after the incident with Carolyn earlier. The fact that Nolan was so affected by it had her wondering about the kind of feelings he had for her and when it all started.She had never seen him like that before and had never seen him care for anyone the way he did Carolyn. Somehow she is the person that had managed to pull him out of his darkest days.But that wasn't what got her so quiet. Why did he suddenly order for Scott in that manner? What is going on and why does she always have this feeling that Scott is being secretive toward her? Maybe she is overthinking things or maybe it's just normal considering the number of years they were apart but still, he acts differently from before.Her hands were on her teaspoon as she continued to stir the air instead of the tea in the cup. Unaware of her actions, the tea
The golden doors fled open revealing the Ruler of the East. He strolled into his study with a frown on his face and walked straight to the large seat behind the table. The woman he was with a couple of minutes ago had him questioning so many things he wasn't sure of. Ever since Kyla, no woman had been able to go close to him. He had a trauma of it and never lets anyone close, but there was something different about her. She pissed him to the point where he didn't even know when he touched her. He touched her and nothing happened to him.He had gone through so many therapies just for this for four years and yet, this woman comes and proves everything wrong. This scared him and angered him all at once. He shouldn't be feeling this way, he shouldn't be worried, he should be happy instead, but something was not right. He needed to know who she was and why she doesn't affect him."Clayton," he called the Royal guard by the corner and he stepped forward. "Yes, your grace"."Get me, Scott"
His deep voice called from behind, making Kathryn turn her head to look at him. A slight smile formed on her lips as she nodded. "I'll leave you now, dear, your maidens would send breakfast over". Kathryn directed at Caro with a warm smile and stood up softly and began moving in the direction of the doors. She suddenly stopped in front of him, with a warm smile." Take good care of her". She mouthed and patted his shoulders gently before she started to move again. Her maids rushed behind her until the doors were closed shut.The room was now deserted leaving just the heartless ruler and the naive girl. His steps toward the bed were not rushed, they were calm and prideful. And the aura he possessed at that moment was similar to a burning furnace. He was already roasting her with his direct stares.Who will save her from this?Caro's eyes flew open with every step he took as she clenched even harder to the sheets. The color of her skin was the same as a cherry. He approached the bed but
