Chapter 121

Kaiden “What are you looking for, Lina?” I asked the minute she stepped into the room. She froze, her eyes wide, almost as if she was a deer caught in the headlights, which in this case she was.The minute I stepped into the room I noticed the chest I placed in a strategic position had been moved, confirming my theory. Lina was looking for something, and I had to know what it was.“W- what?” She stammered, before clearing her throat, “I’m not looking for anything your highness.” She lied through her teeth.My jaw clenched as I looked out the window. I was beginning to finally see the good in someone and then it had to be a spy. Another liar. And after what I’ve been through, I hate lies. Pushing down my frustration, I turned to her. She was in her usual maid uniform, the floral skirt and the damn mask, but I was done with all the anonymity of her whole existence. She was apparently not to be underestimated. “What if I find out you are looking for something?” I met her gaze. “Wha

Chapter 122

Celine That was weird. I thought as I cleaned the floor of the ballroom for the end of competition Celebration. Kaiden must have figured out that I was hiding something because of his confrontation but totally freezing up like that after touching my hair? That was weird. Maybe he figured out you were Celine? Silver the ever ghostly ghost wolf whispered, but I shut her to the back of my mind, not interested in that particular sentence. Kaiden did not figure out my identity, I’ve been extra careful. A big part of me felt it was something else, maybe a mindlink message. A push hit me from behind and I stumbeled forward, almost falling flat on my face in the hall. I whipped backwards to see the culprit and it was none other than the boss, Sybil. “You.” She eyed me in disgust, and I stood upright, surprised at her sudden evidence irritation. “Yes, Boss? Is something wrong?” I asked, keeping my voice civil. “Did I do something wrong?”She gave me a once over, then snorted. “Maybe the

Chapter 123

CelineAlpha Lucan lazily leaned back into the couch as a slow grin crawled onto his face. His eyes were intense as she stared at me, it looked like he was trying to see through me or even figure out what was running through my mind. “Disrespect?” He repeated, his voice was low and mocking as if the thought of a mere maid saying such to him was something he had never believed would happen. Slowly, his eyes roamed over me from my head down to my toes making my skin crawl from disgust. “You wear a mask—probably ashamed of how you look and yet you're acting like you command the room or like you’re higher than me. Isn’t that intriguing?” He asked as he cocked an eyebrow at me. His words hit me like a punch to the stomach but I didn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing my reaction. I kept my face neutral as I stared at him, waiting to hear him say why he had called for me. After a few moments of silence and him realizing that I wasn’t going to say anything, he raised his hand and wav

Chapter 124

Celine “Or what Lina?” He asked as he moved closer to me, his voice mirroring the darkness in his eyes. “What would you do to me, hmn?”His voice was dripping with amusement, it was dangerous and I couldn’t help but swallow. I was not only nervous but I knew that the man standing in front of me could ruin my life if he wanted. He stalked closer to me and I kept stepping away from him until my back eventually hit the wall and I realized I had nowhere else to run to. He raised his hand, his smirk still etched on his face as he trapped my head against the with both of his hands. “Cats got your tongue?” He asked, his voice dropping with mockery. “I wonder where your voice has suddenly gone when you were running your mouth just seconds ago saying I better stay away from you.”I remained silent but my resolve didn’t falter. I might be scared of him but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing it. “You’re lucky that I actually like you,” he continued, his voice even lower t

Chapter 125

KaidenI wrapped my hand around Lina’s—or should I say Celine as I led her down the hallway and back to my room for the meal I proposed we had together. I wasn’t entirely sure if she was truly Celine but my suspicion was growing with each passing minute. No two people could be so similar or even talk the same way plus the scar behind her ear was too similar for it to be just a coincidence. It was the same shape and in exactly the same spot. The familiarity in the way she moved, the way she avoided my eyes whenever she realized I was suspecting her or the way they clouded up like she was avoiding something—hiding a secret tugged at me and I wanted to get to the root of it all. If it was truly Celine, why was she putting up an act? And if my suspicions are wrong, why does everything about her scream at me that she was the one?I was utterly confused and frustrated, I hated not knowing things, I hated not having control but this was a chance for me to finally figure out why she was pr

Chapter 126

KaidenI was restless and I couldn’t get my body to calm down so I could go ahead with the next text. My fingers absentmindedly tapped against the table as my legs shook from nervousness. This last test I was going to put her under was the one that would finalize everything. I was already convinced that she was my Celine but this was going to seal it. I was so close to the truth but I was scared, if truly I was right, why was she hiding from me? Did she hate me that much? Or was there another reason?Memories of Celine flooded my mind—I remembered that she was left-handed and she had a certain way she sliced bread and even placed things. It was something I found decanting and used to tease her about nonstop. If Lina was Celine, her hands would give her out. I decided that this was going to be my last test—I was going to observe her muscle memory instead of anything else since I had gotten my confirmations from the previous tests. I watched silently as she brought the dessert to my

Chapter 127

CelineI couldn’t help but feel uneasy, Kaiden has been acting strangely since the minute I bumped into him in the hallway. He spoke less and the way he questioned me or requested something of me was… weird. He tried to hide it but I could see the way his eyes were following my movements as I rearranged the room. When I had walked back into the room and saw the mess, I was confused as to why a room that was perfectly arranged had been scattered just a few minutes after I went to the kitchen and returned. It was suspicious but I couldn’t place my hand on why he was doing any of it. Why shocked me the most was how cold he had addressed me and the way he asked me to leave. I eyed him suspiciously but he walked away from me. Was he testing me? Was he suspicious about something? Had I somehow given myself out?No, I said to myself. It couldn’t be that, the Kaiden I know would have confronted me if he had figured me out so I was back to square one—wondering what it was with him. I push

Chapter 128

CelineAfter the awkward silence between me and Kaiden, I excused myself and left the room. As I walked out and closed the door behind me, he didn’t say anything. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was finding as I walked back to my room. The look of betrayal Kaiden’s face was etched in my mind and no matter how hard I tried to push it away, it wasn’t budging. Immediately I walked into my room, I noticed that it was empty and I couldn’t hear the usual chatter of the other maids nor did Tasha jump on me to question me as I walked in. I let out a relieved sigh because I wasn’t quite ready to talk to anyone. I moved to my bed and to my surprise, a beautiful box wrapped in deep gold and ivory ribbon was sitting on the bed, patiently waiting for me. I was confused but I reached for it and slowly opened it. Inside was a stunning masquerade dress as bright as the sunlight—it was radiant, elegant and it was almost queen-like. And beside it was a matching make, it was delicate and pattern

Chapter 129

Celine“You’re not so good at lying,” Sybil said as she moved even closer to me, her voice slicing through the thick silence. I knew she didn’t believe me but I thought she was going to back off and try to keep watching me from the shadows and I realized that I had thought wrong. I was scared but at the same time I was tired of dealing with bitches like Sybil who had something against you just because the men she was fawning over paid her no attention. What I hated more than betrayal or lying was male centered bitches who had no other life than to bring others down. I was determined to teach her a lesson and put her in her place. I was tired of acting all weak and letting one person that was way beneath act like she was doing me a favor or had the keys to my life. Just as I was thinking of what to do to her, she moved closer to me and instinctively I stepped back. I kept moving away from her until the back of my knee was against my bed and I fell when she tilted towards me. I was

Chapter 130

Kaiden Shortly after Lina had left my room, a guard had come to my room and told me that Orion had requested a meeting. I had wanted to be left alone to sort out my feelings and thoughts since I was still angry from everything that had happened at the competition coupled with the fact that Lina had missed all that happened, making me wonder where she had gone. With a tired sigh, I walked out of my room and headed to the cold hall where we usually held meetings. I would have preferred discussing whatever Orion had to say in my room but I knew better than inviting him over. The air was thick with tension as I walked into the hall. Orion was already seated so I chose to sit in the chair opposite his. I had barely sat down when he opened his mouth and started spewing out well planned words. “Thank you for granting me a few minutes out of your precious time,” he said with a big smile plastered on his lips and I couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic or not. I watched him carefully,
