My heart beats really fast... my fingers became sweaty, I was shocked to my bone. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know how to react. For the first time, u have been rendered speechless.
"Are you not going to say anything. " He pouts, staring at me intently.
I moved my lips to talk, but nearly anything came out. "How........ did....... you..."
"How did I know? " he asked smirking.
"Yes how did you know?." I asked, luckily for me... I did not stutter.
"Maybe you should answer my question first, and then I'll tell you how I knew, that you are an assassin and that, you were in New York to kill me." He said. Aris just had this neutral look on his face, that I couldn't even see through him or, I get to know what's going on in his head. Does he hate me? Is he here for revenge? Of my, this is all fucked up.
"Find, since you know all about me. I
Aris PovI woke up with a smile on my face, remembering the memories of last night... That I made with Safiya.I turned my head, only to see her sleeping peacefully beside me on the bed. She looks so beautiful.I smiled, then placed a kiss on her forehead, this made her turn slightly..."Aris, you need to leave." Fiya mutters, opening her eyes slowly."Why?." I asked her confused. How could she wake up, and the first thing she could say is... Aris you need to leave.She raised her head up abruptly, "Are you kidding me right now. Aris, nobody saw you when you came into my room or into the palace, by the way... How were you able to sneak into my room, the palace is heavily guarded."I grinned, "I have my ways."She rolled her eyes, "And w
"You brought me to a mountain and you want me to climb it?." I ask Aris, my hand on my waist."Yup, that's correct." He answered grinning."Aris, I'm a princess, don't you think it's weird for you to bring me here. What happened to fancy restaurant, five star hotel." I exclaimed throwing both my hands up in the air. To be sincere, I really don't mind being here. Any day, I would prefer climbing up a mountain than some greasy old five star restaurants."You can stop with the pretense, I know you are not that type of princess, that would want to eat in some five star restaurants. You my dear fiya, would prefer hiking over a five star restaurants." He grinned, I huffed... "Ohh please, do not flatter yourself into believing that you know me so well.""I think I will, cause I definitely know everything there is to know about you. Except from the unimportant things." He smirked, getting ready to clim
"If your dad is truly the one driving the car, it means we might die." Aris utters, panicking slightly."Yeah we might really die, and when I said my dad is the one driving the car, I meant he ordered someone to do it. My dad knows nothing about hacking.""Well, that's a relief." Aris breathed out... I don't get, why is it a relief?."Huh?.""Okay, just seconds ago.... I thought your dad wouldn't mind killing you, just to wipe me off the face of earth. Since he is not the one personally driving the car, it can only mean... That your dad doesn't know you are in here with me. I guess your dad isn't rotten to the core." Aris said, then smiles at me reassuringly.I hope what Aris just said is the truth.. I hope father really doesn't know that am here. I hope he is not that rotten that he wouldn't mind killing his own daughter, just to get his dirty works done.
"Is it right for me to think, my father isn't my father?." I asked Aris, feeling so down. I grew up with my father watching over me, all my life he was everything I had close to a bestfriend.. talking about bestfriend, I am yet to see... Lauren since I came back. Is everything alright with her, the Lauren I know, would have been all over me by now."I will say it's right. I did think your father knew you were in the car, but I just didn't want to consider it. He is your father, and I don't think any father would love to watch his own child die over wealth. Maybe he isn't your father?." Aris said, more like in the form of a question."Ohh I'm so confused, but anyway... I'm going to investigate this whole situation more. I need to know what my father is thinking, and I would not let him give us a surprise attack like before." I breathed out. I stared at Aris face with emotion, I want to protect him from the clutch of my father, I do not
Fiya's POVI silently sneaked out of my father's study, with a beating heart I head straight for my room.I really want to check out that secret underground room, but I have to be patient. I can't check out the room now, cause my father is in there and he would surely see me, so it's better I check it out tommorow. ********The next day passed like a breeze, every single passing seconds got me excited about the secret room. I just couldn't wait, to see what's inside the room.And finally, is night time.. after saying goodnight to my mum, and of course my father.... I head straight for my room.I tried to atleast sleep (I already set an alarm for 12am) but it was just so impossible.I was awake t
I stared at my father with so much hatred for him in my heart. How could he lock up my bestfriend in his damn secret room. This is the reason why I haven't seen her since I returned from New York."I guess this is the best way to kill me, isn't it? Kill me and then leave my body here, and no one would ever find it." I said my hands tightening around my bestfriend wrist, my eyes watching my father in a calculative manner."Fortunately, you are right. It is indeed, the best way to kill a disobedient daughter. So why don't I just go straight to it." He smirked, then takes out a gun from his back and points at me."You wouldn't really kill your own daughter. Would you?." I uttered in shocked, as I stared at the gun in my father's hand in disbelief."Of course I can kill you, you are not my daughter after all." He dropped grinning. I just went from shock to frozen. He is joking right, there's no way what
"Fiya!!." My father growls banging the table."What Father, don't tell me that I have stepped on your nerves. Please don't get angry father, I just think mother deserves to know the truth or are you insinuating she should be kept in the dark?." I said pouting..."Fiya, if you keep this going I will be forced..."I stood up immediately in anger, "Forced to do what exactly.. what are you going to do to your own daughter, father... Or am I not your daughter!." I yelled back banging my hand on the dinning table."Fiya!!!." The king growled."For heaven sake, would any of you love to tell me what's going on. Why are the both of you arguing, what are you keeping from me." The queen yells, also getting up from her seat...The king and I glared holes at each other, I was breathing so fast.. I could literally explode with anger at any minute."You
I yawned really loudly, as I stretched... I can't remember when last I had a really good sleep, but all that change last night. I had a super fabulous dream. I believe today is going to be great.Yesterday I had sent Lauren back to her house, I didn't want to keep her in the palace because of my dad. She's really traumatized because of my dad. I promised her I would come visit her today.A knock comes on my window, bringing my attention to it... I stood up from my bed and walked over to the window, it's Aris.I opened the window and let him in. "You know, it amazes me how you are always able to by pass the guards." I said going to sit down on the bed."Well... I'm glad you feel so amazed by it." he said smirking, I rolled my eyes. "What brings you here and why can't you enter the palace like every other normal person." I asked him."Firstly, I have some information for you.
"So you are saying the man that killed our parents and took you away, is her husband?." My sister asked in shock, ohhh... I can get use to calling her sister. "Yeah. And I just got to know recently that he isn't my father. I can't believe I have been living with my parents killer all this while." I spat out hatefully, my fist tightened. "Our parents, had taken me to aunt Lou house. She's our aunt, mum sister. You wanted to come back home, you refuse to stay with aunt Lou, you didn't like leaving mum and dad. And this is why I wasn't kidnapped or killed. Aunt Lou never told me that our parents were dead.. she only broke the news to me when I was thirteen, but before then I already overhead her discussing with some of our relatives on phone. I didn't need anyone telling me that our parents are dead." "Oh my, it must have
"Hey, what happened? What did the old lady say to you. Why are you looking so sad?." My mum asked all at once, Aris stands next to me with a concern gaze. "The lady said my parents are dead, and that nobody lives in that house." I explained resting on the bonnet of the car. "Ohh, that's.. that's sad. I'm so sorry dear, I'm so sorry." My mum tries to console me, hugging me from the side. I chuckled, "Why are you apologizing. I didn't even know that much. Heck, I don't even know them." "You might not have known them darling, but they are still your parents and this means you would surely feel the impact of their death even if you don't know them." My mum massages my shoulder slowly as she talks. "I guess you are right, I do miss them even without knowing what they must have looked like." I said in an outburst of emotion, at the same time hugging my mum tightly.. res
"Thanks for saving me Aris, I don't know how I would have got out of that situation back at the palace, if you didn't showed up." I said to Aris, as the both of us stepped out of his car. Aris had parked his car, at the other side of the underground tunnel. And now Aris has brought me to a safe house."You do not have to thank me, it's my pleasure. There's no way I would let anyone be the hero, if this show." He said in a really deep voice. I rolled my eyes.... "Anyway the only problem I have right now is... knowing where my mother must have run to. I'm so worried and wait how did you even know that I was in trouble." I asked him as the thought came to mind all of a sudden."I got to know that you were in trouble because of your mum. And she is actually inside the safe house right now." He grinned."Really, and you couldn't even tell me Aris." I hit him slightly on the shoulder, and then rushed into the safe house. I sto
"What did you just say Fiya. Repeat what you just said to your father minutes ago." My mum breath out heavily, her eyes already tearing."What do you mean mum, I didn't say anything... father and I was just talking that's all. Whatever you must have heard is not true, I was just having a...""STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP. STOP IT!!!. NO, no, no, no more.. enough of the both of you deceiving me!. Enough of the both of you hiding secrets from me!. Enough!!!!." She shouts so lodly, that the king and I had to shift back in fear."I know what I heard. I know what my ears heard Safiya. You said the king here, my husband kidnapped you and he has kidnapped many other kids. You said that, he wants Aris dead and so many other things my ears cannot comprehend." She turns around and wipes her tears away from eyes, shaking her head in disbelief."I do not want to believe that I've been made a fool all
"So you are saying, the girl we rescued who is your bestfriend, is actually working for your father." I uttered in shock, just after Safiya narrated the whole lauren ordeal to me. We are currently seated at the river side, this place is now our meeting place."Yes, believe me, am in more shock than you. I have know lauren since we were kids, and finding out that she betrayed me.. isn't an information that goes down well with me." I could tell she's sad by the whole betrayal thing. She must have really trusted lauren so much."So whst are your going to do now? Are you going to let her know, that you well... know who she is." I asked staring at her briefly.Safiya sighs staring up at the sky, "I really don't know Aris. I really don't know... but for now I won't say anything to her I just have to think deeply about the whole situation. And come up with a plan, on how to handle the situation."
"Ohh my dear Safiya.. you can stop with the act, cause i know your game already.. there's no need to pretend. Anyway, for deceiving me.. I can only promise that I would make you pay the hard way." He pats me on the shoulder twice, then walked away.I stood there rooted to the floor. I couldn't just quite wrap my head around the scene that just happened between my father and I. Did lauren really betrayed me? But why would she do that?I sighed heavily then head straight for my room.. I walked into my room, then locked my room door behind me.I walked into my walk in closet, the closet is really spacious.. it's like another room in here. I would say, it's almost as big as my room. Different dresses at their different sections.I stood infront of the gown section in the closet, then I shift the gown creating a space in the middle. I pressed a button on the wall, and the wall gave way.
"I'm so glad that everything worked out fine, lauren is safe and you are not dead." I uttered happily, throwing stones at the small river. Aris and I, we are currently in the woods right behind the palace. I love it here, it's peaceful and really calm."I'm also glad to be alive." Aris said sitting on the ground, not to far from the river. I sat down beside him. He turns to stare at me, "You know, I wasn't afraid when you pointed the gun at me, I guess deep down.. I just knew you wouldn't be able to kill me or do me any harm." He said softly, smiling at me... I smiled back."I could only think that the only possible solution to rescue Lauren was by killing you, but my heart wouldn't just agree with me."Aris shifts closer, he leans towards me with a smirk on his lips. "Is this your way of saying..... you have fallen so deeply in love with me, that you can't ever bare to see me hurt." He grins.
Aris PovI jumped in fright at the sound of the gun, luckily Safiya missed.I gulped nervously, "What the heck has come over you Safiya, do you really want to kill me? What if that bullet has hit me, what if you didn't missed. Is this a prank or what?." I yelled exasperated my heart beating rapidly from shock."I do not miss." She mutters... falling to the ground, she seats on the grass."What?." I asked her confused."I said I do not miss." She repeats."What the? So this means you missed on purpose. I don't understand what's going on Safiya. Do you really want to shoot at me, or is this a prank. What the fuck is happening... I'm confused."She raised her head up and gazed into my eyes, I could see a few hint of tears in her eyes. What happened to her, why is she
