Surprise, surprise.. 🔥🔥🔥"Slut! What do you think? That you’d just do whatever you like and it would just work? No, that's never going to happen, do you hear me?" Veronica yelled, as she eyed me from head to toe. Of course, I wasn't going to say anything to her, but the thoughts in my mind were obviously enough to not just shut her up but to end her right there and then."First of all, you somehow managed to get Lucas wrapped around your fingers, and now you have started with Simon as well, haven't you? What spell did you cast on them, huh? I know Simon, and it is impossible for him to willingly change towards a lowly slave like you.""Excuse me? What are you trying to imply?""Spill it, what exactly did you do to them?" she continued, and I rolled my eyes at her. Even I couldn't tell what exactly was going on, and she, on the other hand, was under the impression that I had done some sort of spell on the twin brothers."Look, I don't know what you're talking about, and I obviously
Peace 🔥🔥🔥Simon's POV“What is going on here?” A voice thundered from the door, and Ashley instantly flinched in fear. Our lips parted from each other, and I turned to see Lucas' face, which was filled with a lot of questions. Could I even be surprised he was looking like that? Obviously not!“Ashley? Simon? Is anyone going to say anything to me?” I turned to face Ashley, but she had a very unreadable expression on her face, and I honestly couldn't tell what she was thinking. For a second, I thought she was genuinely scared, and the next, it almost seemed like she didn't care in the world about what was going on. Looking once again, it looked like she didn't even know what was going on, and I just kept getting more confused the more I tried to understand what she was thinking.“Did I just walk in on you kissing Ashley?” Lucas said, letting out a mocking laugh. I frowned at him, but hearing Ashley let out a chuckle from behind me on the bed where she was still seated, I instantly fe
Eavesdropping 🔥🔥🔥“Where have you been?” Battling my lashes a couple of times, I remained silent for a while as the authoritative voice of Simon thundered. He got up from his seat and walked closer to where I stood, and tension gripped me with every step he took.“I sent for you about seven minutes ago. Why are you just coming now?” he said as he looked at his wristwatch to confirm the time.“Oh, I was actually in the bathroom taking a shower when Amaya came in to let me know you sent for me. I had to finish up very quickly and then come right away, my king. I am really sorry for the delay.”“Hmm, I see.”“Yes, my king.”“Well, you do not have to apologize. I do not need it,” he said, and I breathed out a sigh of relief. At least for once, things weren't going to be so bad, especially given the fact that Simon wasn't someone who would let go of such things so easily.“Oh, thank you so much, my king, I...”“You will, however, be punished for it. You do have to face the consequences
Same routine 🔥🔥🔥🔥It took almost an hour before Simon finally let me go. I was surprised by how long he was able to hold me on his lap, but he, on the other hand, didn't seem so bothered by it. The only reason why he even let me go was just because his beta, Asher, had come in to inform him of some work they had to get done. Otherwise, I would still be there for as long as possible. When I got back into the room, I looked around the place and sighed heavily. I was starting to get sick of the place, having to constantly be in the same house, doing the same routine every day, interacting with the same people, and it really didn't help that I literally did not have anyone to call a true friend. Honestly, I was just so exhausted at this point, and the thought of my life just seemed so bleak, there was nothing fun or interesting to write about my life and it bothered me so much.“Ashley!” I heard my name being yelled out from the door, and I turned to await the arrival of none other th
Skincare 🔥🔥🔥When I got into the room, I took the dress and carefully placed it close to my bed. I got ready for bed, but as I went about my nighttime routine, I couldn't help but wonder where Lucas planned on taking me and what the outing was actually going to be about. The dress he gifted me was red, but I wasn't quite able to see the style and what it really looked like. Getting into bed, I quickly turned off the lights so that I could go to sleep as soon as possible. We were not going out so early that I would have to wake up around 5:00 a.m. or something, but the excitement was enough to make me eager to go to bed early.The next morning, I woke up from a terrible nightmare that instantly got me out of bed. The room was cool, but I was sweating all over. The fear was apparent, and although I didn't really believe much in superstitions, checking to see that it was already 6:00 a.m. bothered me a lot because there is a saying that morning dreams always come to pass.I quickly go
Preparing 🔥🔥🔥I rushed to hide the dress, but Madam Mortica was already raving at the other end, banging on the door for me to let her in. Her voice was shrill and commanding, filled with impatience. My hands trembled as I shoved the bag into the hidden compartment in the wardrobe. I had to make sure it was well concealed; she must not find it.As soon as I was sure the bag was securely hidden, I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before walking to the door. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I could feel a bead of sweat trickle down my back. “And what were you doing in there?” she questioned suspiciously as soon as I opened the door. Her piercing eyes bore into mine, searching for any hint of deception.“Nothing, what are you talking about?” I replied, trying to sound casual, but my voice wavered slightly.“Move,” she snapped, pushing me out of the way with more force than necessary. I stumbled, catching myself on the doorframe just in time. Anger flared within me. If she h
On the rooftop 🔥🔥🔥"You're really good at this," I said softly, almost in disbelief."I used to help my mom with her hair when Simon and I were still quite young," he admitted quietly, a rare hint of vulnerability in his voice. "It's been a while, though."His revelation made my heart ache a little. It was a reminder that even someone as powerful as Lucas had a past filled with moments of tenderness and family bonds. Thinking about this, I wondered if Simon had such a side to him as well. On second thought, he probably never did. Who was I kidding?He continued brushing my hair, the silence between us comfortable. I could see the concentration in his eyes, the careful way he handled each section of my hair. It was a simple act, but it felt intimate, creating a connection between us that words couldn't.Finally, he finished and handed the brush back to me. "There, all done. How does it feel?"I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling the smoothness and the care he had put into it. "
All smiles 🔥🔥🔥I was extremely stunned by what I had just seen. He had placed his phone to capture the plastic thing the waiter had brought, and it didn't take long before a picture of their menu appeared on his phone.“Whoa, how did you do that?” I asked as soon as he looked closely at his phone to study the menu.“How did I do what?”“The thing you just did. How were you able to get the menu on your phone by placing it on that plastic thing?”“Oh, the QR code scanner. It's just technology, quite advanced, if you're interested.”“Wow, I have read a lot about human technology. They are so smart, but I just can't bring myself to understand how they even come up with these things.” Lucas chuckled a bit, and I smiled in return.“And how have you been reading about all these things, Ashely?”“Oh, when Simon finishes with the magazines, articles, and newspapers he frequently reads, I gather them and read them whenever I'm bored. They honestly help a lot when I'm bored, so I really enjoy
