Chapter 107Esme's POVAfter a lot of persuasion, I finally agreed to go out with Rue again. Initially, I wanted us to catch up while staying indoors but guess Rue had other plans.I didn't tell her about my ordeal in the abandoned warehouse though. I didn't want to be bombarded with loads of questions, Rue can be annoyingly curious at times."We can stop by a friend's place, she's having a housewarming party today" she chirped endlessly I gave her a side stare, "What friend are you talking about?""Mia, she's human and a nice person too, you will love her when you meet her trust me""Hey, who said anything about meeting someone? Because I definitely did not ask to go with you""I know Esme. Okay fine, you can decide not to mingle with anyone, we can just grab drinks and leave after sharing pleasantries with the host of course" "Count me out Rue and remember we shouldn't be hanging around late in the evening, it's not safe. Remember how we were almost abducted?""We will be careful
Chapter 108Esme's POV "Have you seen the news?" Amy finally uttered, her tone filled with mystery and excitement.I instantly grabbed my phone to see for myself, whatever news she was talking about."What news?" I voiced out while operating my phone with my eyes skimming over every writeup on the screen."It's about the director, the case regarding his attack has been solved and the perpetrators have been captured and put behind bars. Isn't that good news for you Esme, the project you've been working tirelessly for will kick off in no time" Amy blabbed, a wide smile on her young face.I released the breath I didn't know I was holding, "I thought something terrible had happened" I mumbled incoherently while rubbing my pounding chest.I turned to Amy with a stern look, "Don't scare me like this again, for a moment, the goddess forbid it, I thought something bad had happened to you. Why did you run up to me, panting heavily like someone who was being chased?""Wait, you didn't like th
Chapter 109Esme's POVAfter long hours of searching through every book that could provide a solution to me and finding nothing related to my situation, I left the library for Silvan's quarters.Besides, I needed to see him before he wandered off again for one duty or the other. Silvan was already heading for the library when I met him halfway, his eyes were filled with concern as he gently took my hand."Princess, you were taking so long, I had to come get you. Is everything okay?" I thought about telling him about Ira but the fear that it might mean something worse than I imagined caused me to let out a faux smile instead."Of course, everything is all good" "Are you sure?" His eyes were squinted."I.. Urmm.. why don't we leave already? I'm quite exhausted from the journey" I replied instead, pulling him away.He trudged behind me, his brows still creased in uncertainty."How about Amy? I don't hear her chirpy voice around" I observed."She should be in her room, I made sure all
Chapter 110Kane’s POVI replayed the footage of Esme fighting off the men who abducted her for the umpteenth, mesmerized by her strength. I just couldn't get enough of it.Watching her was not enough, I longed to touch her physically too, to feel her soft skin under mine. To have her scream and beg for me to drill her without mercy.That was one of my biggest fantasies ever since I learned about her place in Silvan's heart and it is only a matter of time before I fulfill it.I had purposely followed Esme to the cafe as soon as the men I placed on the lookout for her informed me that she had finally left the hotel room. Before then, I had been informed about Silvan leaving for the empire yet again and was hatching the perfect plan to meet with Esme.But all my plans were already close to impossible with the security guards Silvan had placed in all corners of the hotel to ensure Esme's safety. As soon as I learned she was finally out of the hotel, I made sure there would be nothing t
Chapter 111Silvan's POVI placed a call to Paul, a few minutes after Esme left with Rue and Amy."The girls are out" I stated curtly, standing up from the bed and moving towards the door, "Meet me in the study room" I finished and went off the line.Even though Amy needed to get familiar with the Empire, asking Rue to take them on a girl's night out was just a scheme I and Paul drafted to get Esme away from the mansion so as to buy us enough time to plan for the big event I had in mind.The thought of it made me nervous as heck, I could feel sweat starting to form on my palm as I paced about the room.Paul came in soon enough, a mocking grin on his features as he stared at my nervous state."Can't believe the soon-to-be King of the Lycian empire would fidget so much because of a woman" Paul teased, making himself comfortable on the seat in front of my desk."What? Are you having a hard time thinking of the best way to nail this?" He continued his taunts. I gave him a hard glare"Obvi
Chapter 112Esme's POVRue dragged me into the fitting room, located at the farthest end of the mall. Before I could whine about how I was not ready to get more clothes, she dumped all the wears she had selected earlier for me to try on."Go ahead Esme, one of them will surely fit" Amy added, helping Rue to throw in more clothes at me.I groaned in frustration, "is there any need to try all of these on? I could just pick one and save myself this stress" "True, but I want to see how you look like in the others too" Rue returned and Closed the curtains before pulling Amy to sit in front of the fitting room."We are waiting for you, My lady" Rue called from outside and I rolled my eyes inwardly.I glared at the pile of clothes in my hands before dumping it on the vacant seat in the small room, Rue can be such a pin in the neck."I can't believe she's slowly turning Amy to be like her too" I grumbled before picking up one of the clothes and trying it on."It fit perfectly" I muttered ha
Chapter 113Silvan's POV It was in the early hours of the morning, the sun rays though warm were bright and piercing through the window to the room where I and my mate and soon-to-be wife spent the night.Her chest rose and fell as she slept soundly, not willing to wake up anytime soon. A satisfied smile stretched across my face.Last night had been memorable for the both of us and understanding that Esme might still be tired from our intimacy, I decided not to disturb her rest as I slowly crept out of bed.The slight shuffling that came as a result of my absence from the bed made her pout cutely as she adjusted sleepily.I held my laughter in, resisting the urge to grab her cute face in my hands and kiss the heck out of it. I had things to do and in as much as I enjoyed staring at my sleeping beauty, duties called.I blew her sleeping frame a kiss before disappearing into the bathroom to prepare for the morning court as it was part of my duties for the day.Paul was already waiting
Chapter 114Esme's POVI stretched my arms towards Silvan's side of the bed to see that it was cold. He left, already?My eyes stirred open before I slowly sat up from bed, "what time is it?" I asked rhetorically and turned to the wall clock to see that it was already late in the morning.I sprang out of bed to pull the curtains open, wincing as the sun's rays shone directly on my face. Silvan must have closed the curtain so that I won't be disturbed by the rays.A smile etched on the corners of my lips and as I started putting everything we had littered around the room in place, my eyes fell on the ring Silvan had given me.A blush crept up to my cheeks as I reminisced on the events of last night, Silvan's proposal, and our intimacy which was dripping with love and affection that we hold for each other.There was no faking it, I love Silvan as much as he loves me, and I am ready to be with him for life, until death do us part. He had whispered in my ears as he fucked me that the wed
