The Heir's Bride Chapter 35
Chapter 35LUKE “King Lucas,” the address is still not engraved in my mind even if a year have already passed. The king pass down the crown a week after I came back from Canada, before the year has ended. He was over the moon, happy that finally, he has been free from the responsibility. I can’t believe how jolly he is after the exclusive party we’ve had to announce my coronation day. Uncle Laurent watch the ceremony and together, him and the king gave their blessings to me. Queen Monica, my grandmother, was shaken when she saw my Uncle Laurent. She pepper him with kisses and showered her with hugs in almost every minute. It was startling to see her so intimate. As for Neola, I choose to not tell them about what happened to her. I halted the news from spreading her name. After a week, the rescuers have revealed that the other three passengers has been found. They announce that they will stop searching, but I didn’t lose hope. Instead, my desperation has grown a hundred times mor

© s a f i e•PROLOGUEThe usual hustle and bustle inside the castle was barely audible. All maids and guards left worried because of the feeble condition of their king. Suddenly, a guard, taller than the rest of the men guarding the gates and the halls, marched inside the door that was left open at the end of the hall. The old man who was lying on a four poster bed, pale and sickly, continue to stare up the ceiling as he reminisce the past●"My son, you ought to know better. You have to stay! The people need you..." "Mother I can't." The blonde young version of the king stared at the queen, his green eyes shining. "The world is waiting for me to explore; its oceans roaring for me to sail over them, its abundant lands waiting to be claimed. I can't just live like this!" "Jacob, you shan't speak to your mother on that manner." The king exclaimed, marching inside the door to his son's bedroom."Father," Jacob bowed his head down as he acknowledge the king. "What is the meaning of

CHAPTER 1LUKEI grip the file tightly as I feel the anxiety eating me out, slowly I feel the gravity pulling us down and-"Mr. Stevens, are you alright?""I am," The words came out from my tight jaw as I tried to ease up my nervous stance. The feeling of bile rising up my throat is almost impossible for me to control. I hope, I can hold it for another five minutes. "I'm perfectly, fine. Thank you." I answer back at her with a smile, trying to resist the urge to gag. She nods back at me in understanding and I watch her took her place back on the front as she announce our landing."All passengers, please be informed that in any minute now, we would be taxiing down the airport. Fasten your seatbelt and just relax." She smiles at me and wink.Oh, gals.I was almost ready to throw up when there's sudden change. The plane started to shake vigorously as it prepared to land down. I can feel its wheels scrape as it rolled unto the port.Then, all movement stopped. I can hear mutterings all

CHAPTER 2 ELLE I press the green button not caring at all to look at the caller ID. "Hello, Elle?" Good heavens should I have to hear that voice early in the morning? Not to mention that it has been five years since I heard about him. FIVE FUCKING YEARS! "Luke," I regarded him in a small voice, my blood momentarily running cold as I sat up from my bed. I run my hands over my face to stop myself from lashing out on him. "What made you call just now?" "Oh, geez thanks...you answered the first ring. Uhm-I just want to say... I mean, I ask to-" "Just say it, Luke." I sigh, exasperated that he have to call this early just because of something he wanted to ask of me. He doesn't even confirm that we are really siblings! He didn't even attend my wedding... Which made me quite curious about this call. "Luke....are you still there? HELLO?" I ask after a moment of silence. "Yes, of course. Uhm, you see...I've got some proposals to make for you. I just wanted to ask if..." "Luke, tell

CHAPTER 3 LUKEI stared at the king as he lean back on the table, his teeth glistening as he continues to smile at me. "Son, you're just in time." I dismiss the idea on my head of just pushing this king down the stairs . Instead, I gave him a curt nod, "Just in time for what exactly, Grandpa?" I emphasize the words as I took a seat beside the counter. "We're heading off to France tonight," He pressed a button on his chair and I watch as it whizzed nearer, "We'll have the ball tomorrow at Paris. I've sent off the invitations to the other royalties and known people Tomorrow will be the official day that you will be presented as the crown prince. In addition to that, you will choose your bride during the party seeing as you didn't have any girlfriend or lover..." I groan internally as I listen to his speech. In a matter of minutes, I was already dismissed and was sent back to my room. Indeed, I have my own room inside the so called 'castle'. I do not know why it mattered to them so m

CHAPTER 4NEOLAI never wanted for this to happen in reality but it is always been on my dreams. You know those things that only happen in the movies? The magical part where a random boy falls in love with a girl because they were in Paris; shared a drink, kissed and did IT? Well, it wasn't that magical and not like the movies; in fact, the man didn't even fall for the girl. It can possibly happen like it was in a book but not in romance or comedy side....it's far worse than worst.A horror story, maybe? I grip the sheets tightly as I felt the skin beneath me, the way this particular pillow rise and fall, really creeps me out. Oh. It's not actually a pillow, because it's fleshy and hairy.It's a chest of the guy with whom I slept with. I bit my hand to avoid screaming bloody murder. I catch my breath, exerting much effort to pull myself away from his death grip. I am very much aware that I'm naked and so is he...geez I am disappointed that I didn't get to remember anything from la

CHAPTER 5NEOLALanding in Seattle at eve is just beautiful. I turn my gaze back to the wonderful boy on my arms and his crazy mother on my side as the car rolled down the streets. Taylor was the one who collected us from the airport which surprises me because I know that my brother has been dying to be with his family. That chimp, I wonder what he is cooking?"Don't you think he was fooling with me? I mean, Hey! We are moving to this goddamn place somewhere in the outskirts of the city where possibly, no neighbors would even help me if your brother tried to kill me!" Taylor smirkec at us from the rear mirror and averted his eyes quickly as Jacob pointed around."He won't kill you," I muttered, running my hands in Jacob's curls, "you're just acting so crazy...""Me? Crazy? I don't even know this place where we are moving in!""It's in Seattle"" 'It's in Seattle'" She quoted, rolling her eyes at me before saying, "I am aware of that. Isn't it that I am the one who bought our tickets?

CHAPTER 6NEOLAThe taxi stopped after ten minutes of travel from the suburban place I've came from to this building which I've been led to by that mystery caller.It was just a small diner in the middle of the city. The bright green lights blinded me for a moment before it change to a dull yellow , almost comforting to my nerves. I entered the diner by pushing open the glass door and marching aboutI am about to take my phone out of my jacket pocket to call the mystery voice when a hand bolted from my side and snatch it from my grasp. "What the f--""Bon soir, mademoiselle..." I was surprised to see a middle aged woman bow down in front of me. She straightened up right after and offered me a smile before she speaks, "I am Lizzy Caine, I'm the one who called you."I just nodded at her, still observing the way she carry herself around with undeniable confidence of a true soldier. I am very aware that she was a woman but she acts like a man-Specially with the way her eyebrows furrowed a

The Heir's Bride Chapter 34
CHAPTER 34LUKE My hands trembled. I watch as the people walk by, snow on their coats. It is freezing outside. I breathe in and look around, waiting. I’m starting to get nervous as the minutes pass by. I hope she will meet me, even if it is the last time. I wanted to reveal everything to her for she is the only woman I will ever love. I check my phone again and debated on calling her. She promise me, she would surely go here. When I depart for Canada, my grandfather and grandmother want me to send an official letter for my adoptive father to go to France. Nobody knows that he is my Uncle Laurent who was suppose to be dead. The king chose not to disclose the information. It will be considered a top secret limited only to me and my Grandparents. I ask Jace to accompany me with Kent seeing as Sebin is nowhere to be found. I left right before the sun sets yesterday. When I arrive today, my father was so ecstatic of seeing me rather than receiving the letter. He told me that it does n

Elle and Jacob on top!CHAPTER 33 NEOLAEdam is so annoying.He was stubborn. He wouldn’t leave me alone. He trailed me around like a lost puppy and I couldn’t handle it anymore.When I woke up after the incident. Luke has already gone back to France. He left me a note, promising that we will meet again after he fix the problem back at the castle. I wonder if Luke will ever fix it. I don’t even know if me and him will ever meet in the near future. I glared at Edam and push him out of my apartment. “Mademoiselle, don’t do this.” I push him back and try to close the door, hating the fact that he keep on asking me if I am fine, and I tell him that I am. Though the truth is, I don’t know how to express myself. So I kick him out, literally. “Your highness,” Edam tries to force himself inside my room but I push his fingers away with my ruler, “Please listen. The prince want me to stay.”“But I don’t want you here, Edam. Go back to France!” I hit his finger again and he hissed, “Please

CHAPTER 32 LUKE *dream* "Lucas" I look up to see my father. His face resembles mine, with a few wrinkles here and there. He pats my head and smiled down at me, "Let's go." "Where?" my voice echoed, I look around to see the vast ocean. I am lying on a piece on wood, floating while he is up the ship. "To your grandfather, of course. We need to go, now. " I reach out with my hand but I slip. I tried to resurface but the waves seems to swallow me. I cough out and tried to pull myself out of the water when someone took me by my coat. I breathe heavily as I tried to catch my breath, my coat drenching. I open my eyes to see my father and a man looking down at me. His blonde hair so much like mine and my father. Though his eyes are blue, like Grandpa and me. He looks like a male version of my grandmother. "Uncle Laurent." He smiled at me, scratch the back of his neck and chuckled. "Lucas, we don't have much time left..." Father says, handling me a box. I tried to open it but it was lock
The Heir's Bride Chapter 31
Right, I am so sorry that I didn't update as soon as I promised. So sorry :(*CHAPTER 31 FLEUR My hands are trembling as I stare at Luke coming out behind the curtain. He have heard it all. I might have doubt it but base on his actions, he knows. I square up my shoulder and said, "Let's have a talk, Luke." He looks shocked to see me there. He cleared his throat and followed me back to my room. I open the door and ask him to go inside. I follow him and sat on the chair. He sat on the balcony and looks out in the evening sky. He seems deep in thought. I tuck my hair on my ear and glance down on my hands. "it is all true. What you've heard, it is true." I look at him to see that he still staring at the evening sky like he doesn't even care. "Luke do you even listen to what I am saying? It is all-" "I know," He smiles at me and stood. He crosses his arms and sigh. He looks at me, and smiled, " I know about you and him." I look down on my hands and ring my fingers. "Don't worry. I

CHAPTER 30 LUKE It pains me that I have to leave her there, sweetly sleeping. All I left her was a note, and a kiss on the forehead. “I’m sure she will be alright,” Jace says as he sit next to me. He sigh and take some magazine, “That girl will survive everything, your majesty. She is strong. She would make a great queen…” “But I already break the engagement. Tonight is the dinner and tomorrow, everyone will recognize Fleur as the new crown princess.” I stated making Jace shake his head. “You don’t need to be so sad of that, your majesty. The princess can finally live a normal life.” I nod at his words, not really minding him. Kent and Sebin were asleep across us. Edam choose to stay back in Canada and look after Neola. It’s an assurance that nothing wrong will happen to her, and I am glad he volunteered to stay. * “Gigi, how many times do I have to tell—” Fleur stop short as Gigi curtsied. “Your majesty,” I brush her off making her scurry to the kitchens. “Fleur.” She turns

The Heir's Bride Chapter 28
CHAPTER 28 NEOLA "Okay, I couldn't. What I really wanted to say to the king, I couldn't say any of it." A tear falls down on his cheek as Luke continue, "How hard it is for me to live as an orphan and sell my sister. I hated the king so much. I blame him for what had happened in the past. Because I thought they are going to look for me, I stubbornly refuse to be adopted, hoping that he will find me soon for I haven't change my name. In the end, he never found me and I felt so lonely." "Then , I got adopted. I struggled to be the best but in the end, there is this void I couldn't fill." He looks at me, his eyes glassy, " I miss them so much, I miss my parents..." I pulled him in my arms and gently tap his back. After a while, we pulled back. He cleared his throat while I tuck my hair on my ear. "Are you finally okay, now?" I ask him lightly and he nodded. "Yes. A little bit. Earlier that-" "Hmm?" I smiled back at him and he bowed, sighing. "That-" "What? About you crying?" his fa
The Heir's Bride Chapter 27
CHAPTER 27 NEOLA The wind is cold. I tighten my grip on Luke’s arms as we slowly trek down the mountain with the moon as our only source of light. The mush of snow soaked our jeans, making me shiver. “Don’t worry,” Luke’s voice trembled as he speak, he puts an arm around me and pulled me close, “I know a place nearby…” He says as he held the trunk of a tree that is weirdly marked with a circle. We pass another tree with that same symbol and he smiled. “We are almost near, do you think you can handle it?” I nodded, not having the voice to speak. The wind is cold. Thunder occasionally rumbled, I look up the sky to see the moon covered by clouds. I hope we can reach the shelter he’s been talking about. Luke tighten his hold on me as we struggled up the mountain. I couldn’t feel my feet because of how numb they are. Luke is breathing hard like I am. After a while of trekking, Luke spotted the shelter and he happily pointed at it, “Look there. Can you see it?” The huge shadow of the
