Chapter 10: Never In Your Life A panicked Sire went to Garry everything he had been told. Garry couldn't understand what Sire was saying. He was saying it too fast. So he took Sire by the arm leading him to the bed,sat him down and told him to breathe. "Now tell me what you're here to say" "I am getting married" Sire said first and Garry nodded since he already knew this information. "My fiance's friend came with her to visit. And I was feeling off. She's a midwife in training and she felt something weird in my stomach" "Something weird?" "Weird being that she felt a growing fetus in me. I would have said it's false. But I now remember that I had on the ring so it's very possible." Garry was bewildered. "What? What ring?" Sire nodded. "If what she said is true then I'm pregnant Gar. The ring is something that my father should have given me but my cousin gave me instead. The point is it has the power to give me children. I forgot that I had it on when we made love.
Epilogue: Fiercely The Present...Sire's sudden laughter broke the whole storytelling. His infectious laugh absorbed both Mona and Mury to laugh along with him. For a few minutes the loud laughing was the only thing that sounded in the living room and achoed throughout the house. They all were laughing at the old times. The times that they had spent together as friends and family. Sire wiped the almost falling out of his eyes tears because of the laughing he had just done. He got back to being quiet for a while. Watching his two former friends with calculated eye contact. "At that time things were more simple. You know? Lighter times that I never thought would turn into what they did. I never thought they'd hit up enough to cause those fires they did. Burning everything in sight. "His face went down just at the thought of what her went through because of the women sitting on his couches at his house. He had once vowed to never let them back inside again. He didn't know what
Another Soul Nicolas Shay is getting married to a duke. He is pregnant with the child of the duke. He isn't happy. Not because he doesn't love his husband to be but because he can't take being the one who has to keep all the secrets that make him want to burn himself alive. For years I've been minding my business. I have never been one who cared for anyone other than the people who I loved and regarded as my own. Never have I troubled anyone with anything because I'm a hard worker. I work hard to provide for myself and my family. But what should I do when my dear ones are taken away from me by the same people who should be my family now. Should I really fold my arms and wait until they strike? I don't even have the courage to be happy anymore. Not when I see them happy as well. The only one I always think about is him. I shouldn't make things difficult for him. Because he will be hurt. But what about them who died without even getting justice? Should I fold my arms and wait
Chapter Two: Not Even A Thousand Skies Heartbroken as he was Nicolas came back to the palace. He only wanted to go to bed and shut himself in the bedroom for a while. The sight of his grandma who he knew loved him closing the door at him and her throwing him out of the house as a child she couldn't stop inviting him in. "Ah" a female voice made him raise his eyes from the ground he had been looking at. Mury. Edward's aunt was here and she smiled at him as if she wasn't the person who packed all that was hers and left when he and Edward got engaged. "Las" she easily nicknamed him without even having a proper conversation with him yet. Because of the respect that he had been taught to have from his house he had to smile back and bow to his soon to be aunt in-law. Yes he had slipped up time to time with it but he never really disrespected anyone intentionally. The person had to have done something that warranted him to be rude to them. "Edward did not tell me you would visit
Chapter Three: I'm Not Sure It was a long ceremony with even longer prayers. Nicolas couldn't believe they were finally over and that he was now finally not knelt on his knees in a ceremony he didn't even know he wanted to be part of. He lay on bed. Rolled to the other side since Edward wasn't in the room yet. Probably still chatting it up with his aunt. The thought of the forceful woman made Nicolas groan. If she was like that then he would prefer her away from him. He didn't need more trouble in his life. And that's exactly what would happen if she tried to throw yet another surprise in his face. He didn't like surprises especially ones that involved him having to do something he didn't want to do. So if his in-law made the mistake of thinking she could do whatever she thought with him she had another thing coming. He didn't want to be the one to cause conflict but he will fight for himself if he has to. "I don't want this" he whispered under his breath. A hand caress
Chapter Four: I Should Have Known Nicolas brushed his stomach. After the dream he had he was second guessing himself. The child inside of him yes was stopping him from doing a lot of things that he wanted to do. But the fact stood. He had made this child. He made this child with Edward without being forced or being trapped into it. Because of the need he felt for Edward. What if him getting rid of their first child broke their relationship? Or worse broke Edward himself? Nicolas would not be able to live with that. So maybe he could try. "Your medicine" a maid bowed at him with the medicine the doctor had told him to take daily. He took the vile of tasteless medication. He sometimes spit it out because of how disgusting it felt in his mouth so what he came up with to deal with this was to distract himself with other things to see. Today it would be the flowers in the garden. He heard voices immediately as he neared it though. Two female voices that he knew. And one ma
Chapter Six: Heaven Only Knows Everything is going wrong. His life that had been bad from the start did not come with promise of happiness in the end. Before he had thought he would be miserable forever. And that was just fine with him. He would have his aunt who would lead him to the right path every time he went to the wrong direction. He had his alcohol when be felt like the world was out to get him. But not even that could fix this now. Not his aunt or the bottle. He had only himself. He had to fix it all by himself. Because he had not just promised that he would take care of Nicolas but he promised that he would be there with him every step of the road. Whether it led to a journey of happiness or not. Nicolas was unhappy. Nicolas was quite shocked by everything. And Edward could not understand what he could do to help. The palace was a place that he was born in. He did not like it there but to be fair enough before Nicolas there was nothing that he liked. He
Chapter Seven: We Are Going Edward massaging Nicolas' feet which he said he had been told that this was what he was supposed to do to help Nicolas through the pregnancy. "My feet don't even hurt" Nicolas told him. Edward was stubborn as always. "That does not mean they won't so I will need my practice. Let me learn." Nicolas sighed softly not about to argue with Edward about this. "Are you sure you are okay?" Edward asked again for what Nicolas could say was for the millionth time that day. He had already answered him. With the say yes and mhm he was giving him now. "I am not convinced" Nicolas dropped his head on the bed. "I have a lot in my mind." "Mind telling me?" Nicolas shook his head. "You are not good at listening and I am not good at talking so that is that. " "But we have time to change do we not? We have all the time in the world. To understand each other for who we really are." "But do I have the patience for that?" Edward stopped the massage. Stari
Chapter 8 Baluthando I just kissed another guy! Well it was a peck but it still is a kiss! And the way he looked at me afterwards. Shit! Like he was mesmerised. Why would he look at me like that? I wasn't... I mean there was a moment, a moment where I kinda wanted to really kiss him. Especially when he licked at my lips. Trying to make me open my mouth but of course I refused him. I want look like a woman now but I know I'm not. The kingdom has a specific set of rules, the first in the line is No same sex couples. I for one had absolutely nothing against being gay. You can't choose who you fall in love with. But in this kingdom you can be killed for it. Especially if you're royality. Being the prince and gay would make my life pretty difficult. So no thank you. I love my life too much to just let myself be dead like that. “ You're silent for once.” Moli commented as we got inside the house. “ I just don't have anything to say that's all. ” He nodded. “ I'll go pl
Chapter 7 Celiwe I walked into the house. Only to see my parents with too much black in their clothes. They looked like movie spies. I laughed making them to look at me. “ What are you guys doing?” “ Since your brother is making our lives difficult. We're going to go kidnap your husband to be. To go throw him in the arms of your brother. The sooner we do this the better for all of us” I smiled and swiped at my phone to the pic I took of both Moli and his girlfriend. Showing the both of them. Mom was first to gasp and snatched away my phone from my hands. “ Is this...?” I nodded, “ That's Moli,your son mom. He has a girlfriend and by the looks of it their pretty much happy. His eyes literally lit up the minute he saw her come in the room. Their in love.” “ If their in love then what's this about him wanting to get a night with the prince?” Father asked as he looked at the pic as well. I sighed. “ Well he just thinks I'm too young to get married. I think he just
Chapter 5 Molitha The girl hit my hand off. “ What the hell!” I smiled at how cute she looked right now. “ Feisty little thing aren't you?” She opened her mouth as if to say something but quickly stopped herself. “ You hungry?” She nodded her head. Oh. The silent treatment. Okay guess that's fine too. I went to the kitchen to prepare something for the both of us. Since there was only butter and bread there wasn't any choice but the obvious. I took two plates for us and put four slices on each and then spread the butter on the bread. Then took out the juice from the fridge and poured it on two glasses. I managed to balance both plates and the glasses on a tray with one hand. Which was a horray! For me. When I got to the living room again I saw the girl trying to sit up but failing . I placed the plates on the coffee table along with the drinks. I then went to help her sit up but the stubborn girl tried to push me away. “ Do you want to eat? Or should I leave
Chapter 4 Baluthando I was getting very annoyed right now. What was taking the ambulance so long? I seriously didn't want to stand one more second listening to this guy. He had the guts to think I'm a girl! That shit needs to stop! If only I could feel my legs and see! I would kick the living day lights out of him. Then he'd know better than to just insult royalty for his personal gain. “ Seeing that we're gonna stay here together for a while would you mind telling me how you got to the woods? Plus the blindness and cripple thing. Don't leave the being girl now part out. ” Is this guy serious?! Lord! If you could just give me my sight and only my left leg I would have killed this asshole now. “ Will you shut up! I've had enough of your voice. Please!” “ Heard enough of my voice? Now that's a new one. I'm usually the one who gets enough of the others' voices. Not too bad for a girl.” I am literally shaking from the inside right now. The anger this guy is giving me right now! How d
Chapter 3Molitha I woke up feeling like a truck hit me. I really wasn't in the mood or the right mind to fight or talk to anyone right now. Who was I even kidding? No one talks to me. So this grumpy mood of mine is for myself and I. Might as well go for a run to at least get this bad mood out of my system before work. God knows if I do one more thing to get Mr Smith angry he's gonna fire me for sure. And the mood I'm having right now won't do any favours for me. I didn't bother to change from the clothes I now had just noticed I slept with. I blame that fucking ‘family meeting’ it's the one that's causing me to get so angry early in the morning now! Moli breathe. Getting worked up won't help you now. A run will. I'm totally messed up. I have to calm to myself to calm myself down. The hell is that! I put my earphones started jogging outside. About a mile away from the house I started to come back but as I reached the Tercab woods just close to my house I saw somet
Chapter 2 Molitha I arrived home. Collapsed on the bed. What the heck did I do?! One night with the prince? Am I crazy?! Not only will that not happen but I'd be thrown to the hangers if the king or anyone else other than the family heard me say such a thing. Being gay in this kingdom is a serious offense. An offense that will be treated as if it were treason. We live in the twenty first century where anything is possible. Anyone can love anyone but not here. No such a thing will be found here. We are like dark ages except modern. What would I even do with the prince the whole night? Ugh! Moli! Why can't you just live through the grudge? Because I can't! I want to see those people suffer like they made me suffer. So declaring that you won't be part of your sister's wedding till you get one night with the prince is revenge? Yes! Because they'll never agree to it. Oh yeah? The same parents who do everything in they're power to get what they want are t
Chapter 1 Molitha I got to the house. For some reason there was a family meeting that was called. Which surprisingly they added me as well. You see my family and I don't get along much. I stay at my own house and they stay at theirs. I felt nothing for the house that I once called home. The house that once was home. But now it just feels like a holder of all the bad memories of my life. All the memories I have tried so hard to suppress. Here I am now at same place I hate the most. "You made it" I looked up to see Celiwe,my little sister. She ran to me. I opened my arms for her. The hug was brief but it had all the emotions that we were feeling. I last saw her when she was sixteen now at eighteen she looks so grown and all woman. I almost didn't recognize her. "Do you know how much I missed you!" She screamed still clinging onto my jacket. "You know where my house is. "I replied with an emotionless voice. Even with her I knew I couldn't be free to talk as I p
11. When I love ZeusI was in my throne room attempting to drink my second glass of gkive( a strong dosage of alcohol that can be also described as whiskey but stronger) I wanted to just get get drunk already. I had no one. Arrow also had the responsibility of taking care his daughter not that he couldn't let the servants do it but I understand him. He just lost his wife and all he had left of her was their daughter. I wish at least my case was the same. I could have someone to kill the boredom with but I have no one. Just as I was going for a sip the throne room doors were opened by a guard. I stared at him waiting for explanation of the disturbance. “Your highness the queen has returned.”My head jerked up when my eyes connected with blue ones. Ones that I knew as Eva's. She wasn't the only one that surprised me with though. The baby in her arms also surprised the alcohol out of me. I stood up, looking at her. She only gave me a grim look. “Eva?”“No Evangeline now.” She correc
10. Lucinda ArrowI got back to my own palace. To see everyone running around in circles. And what were those loud shouts?I pulled a servant out. “What the hell is happening?” I asked her. “ Um... mistress is in labour.” She answered. “I said tell me what hell is happening?! Don't fucking joke with things like that!”“Sire she is in your bed chambers this minute with the midwives.” What was she saying? “What?” I rushed to the stairs racing like my life depended on it. To my room where the shouts and screams were coming from. I pushed the door open. To see the shock of my life. My wife was truly giving birth. She was lying on the bed. Screaming at the top of her lungs as she kept on being told to push. “Lorinda.”“Arrow?” she gasped out. I didn't understand. How come I never knew my own wife was pregnant? She didn't show any signs of it. She had no baby bump in fact I don't even remember her mentioning any sicknesses. I was about to approach her but the midwives pushed me
