    GOLDEN PALACE, QUEEN CHARLOTTE’S SUITE* 
    The royal doctor just finished with the queen some minutes ago and since then she’s been sleeping without waking up. 
    After she lost consciousness in the restroom,fortunately a student entered shortly after and that was how she was found and immediately rushed from school. 
    Lydia and Amaya were the only ones inside watching after Charlotte,worries all over their faces as they kept checking on her every second. 
    “His majesty is here!” 
    Immediately they heard that,they stepped to a side and waited for the king to enter. 
    “Your majesty” They both bowed at once. 
    King Zayne didn’t really hear them,his focus was on Charlotte who was on the bed,her eyes closed and her lips dry. 
    He stood in a position,looking at her for some seconds. 
    “You two can leave” he muttered after a while. 
    Lydia and Amaya bowed and immediately went out of the room,leaving just Zayne in the room with Charlotte. 
    The king moved close to the bed and sat down at the edge,his eyes still on Charlotte,he placed a finger under her nose to feel her breathing. 
    He touched her hair and stroked it a little. 
    He sighed and removed his hand,he was about getting up when Charlotte suddenly grabbed his hand. He raised his brows and turned back to see her eyes now opened. 
    “Charlotte” He called. 
    “My king” Charlotte replied in a very soft and weak voice. 
    “How are you feeling right now?” He asked. 
    She shook her head and hugged his hand. 
    “I would have died” She broke into tears. 
    “I thought I was going to die….I was scared” She said in tears. 
    King Zayne used his thumb to wipe her tears. 
    “That’s not going to happen,don’t worry” he said. 
    Charlotte managed to nod. 
    “You should eat something and continue resting……”
    “Stay with me” She muttered. 
    “Not now….I have things to do” The king replied. 
    Queen Charlotte slowly let go of his hand,then turned to the other side,backing him now. 
    King Zayne sighed and got up from the bed. 
    “Take care of yourself” He muttered. 
    Charlotte said nothing,soon she heard the door close. 
    “As if he cares” She muttered and rolled her eyes. 
    “I’m still here” She suddenly heard his voice and her eyes widened. 
    She faced him right away. 
    “My king……”
    “Who said I don’t care?” He cut her off and she blinked. 
    “I was just….I’m sorry” Charlotte mumbled. 
    “You need some rest right now…..”
    “Remember you still owe me your time” She sat up on the bed. 
    “Hmm” The king nodded and rubbed her hair. 
    “I will let you know how it’s going to be later,but not now” 
    Charlotte pouted and nodded. 
    “Can I leave now?” 
    “Yes my king” She said. 
    King Zayne got up and she stared at him till he was out. 
    She fell back on the bed,but was interrupted again when the maids brought food for her. 
    “Your highness,you need to eat a lot” Amaya said as they began setting up a small table beside the bed for her. 
    “Thank you everyone” Queen Charlotte said. 
    “It’s our job your highness” They all bowed. 
    She smiled but in her head she couldn’t stop thinking,who would have done that to her? Who want her dead??. Just who in the world hates her so much to do that?. 
    *
    “Your majesty!” All the guards bowed at once as soon as King Zayne approached them. 
    About ten guards were kneeling down,with fears obvious in their faces,other guards stood behind them. Lionel and Hunter on the other side. 
    “All of them?” King Zayne looked at Hunter. 
    “Yes your majesty…..”
    “So you’re trying to tell me ten guards followed Charlotte to school and none of them were with her all through her lecture period?” The king snapped,immediately looking so pissed. 
    “That’s right your majesty……”
    “What were you doing during those hours?” He cut in. 
    All of them kept quiet. 
    “I just asked a question if I’m correct” King Zayne said calmly. 
    “We are sorry your majesty,but the queen warned us not to follow her around the school,so we just stay in the car waiting for her to finish up in school” One of them explained. 
    “Oh” The king chuckled and nodded. 
    “She told you to stop following her around and you agreed,you couldn’t keep your eyes on her even in secret?! What are you getting paid for then?!!” He yelled. 
    They immediately bowed their heads. 
    “We are sorry your majesty,it’s never going to happen again….”
    “How sure am I that one of you didn’t do that to her?” The king raised his brows. 
    “No your majesty!! That’s never going to happen,believe us your majesty! Please forgive us just this once!” 
    King Zayne looked at Hunter. 
    “Did you check the footage yet?” He asked. 
    “It’s the restroom your majesty,there’s no….”
    “I don’t want to hear that shit” The king slammed and Hunter kept quiet. 
    “You heard me,I don’t care if it’s the restroom or not. Catch the bastard who did that shit and bring him or her to me,maybe I can start my killing from the crazy person” He glared. 
    “Noted! Your majesty!!” They all chorused. 
    “I want to see that person within two days” The king muttered before walking away. 
    The bodyguards all sighed and began murmuring. 
    “You think this is the time for noise?!” Hunter half yelled. 
    “All of you should get to work,especially those who follow her highness to school everyday,take responsibility if you love your lives” Hunter glared at them. 
    “Yes….commander” They said. 
    Hunter glared at them again before walking away angrily,Lionel said nothing and followed Hunter. 
    “So what do you have in mind now?” He asked. 
    “I don’t know,you have an idea?” Hunter looked at him and he sighed. 
    “Let’s think” Lionel muttered. 
    *
    QUEEN CHARLOTTE’S SUITE* 
    Charlotte was sitting in the living room alone,holding a book in her hand and munching on some snacks when she heard the door opening which made her raise her head. 
    “Sis” She called with a smile when she saw Calantha coming in. 
    “Charlotte,are you okay?” Calantha asked. 
    “I came down here as soon as I heard the news” She added. 
    “Oh,I’m getting better now” Charlotte said. 
    Calantha sat down and sighed. 
    “I’ve not been coming here because I thought you would be mad at me” She muttered. 
    “Of course not,I’m not angry with you. The king is your brother and I’m sure he will come around soon,I’m not angry” Charlotte said and Calantha smiled. 
    “I’m glad you understand me,but then about what happened,I heard it was an attempted murder. Who the hell would do that? I’m happy they didn’t succeed” Calantha said with concern. 
    “Thank you sis,you don’t have to worry. I’m sure his majesty will take care of everything” Charlotte smiled. 
    “Good thing you’re trusting him now,I guess you two are beginning to get along”
    “We are trying to be” Charlotte said and she chuckled. 
    “Take care of yourself Charlotte,don’t think too much about it,hmm?” 
    “I understand sis,thank you” Charlotte replied. 
    Calantha stood up. 
    “Let’s talk later” She said and went out. 
    Charlotte bit her lip a little and sighed out. 
    “Why am I getting even more worried?” She asked herself. 
    “I hope the king is going to be okay no matter what” She mumbled silently. 
    *
    6PM, ROYAL R’S MANSION*
    Starr yawned tiredly as he walked down the stairs,he roughed his hair and wiped it off his face. The living room was empty and silent. 
    “Where’s everyone?” He muttered and yawned again. 
    He has been sleeping ever since they returned from school and he doesn’t even know a thing. 
    The aroma coming from the kitchen made him turn immediately,he was thinking the maids are around so he walked to the kitchen. 
    Rocky was the only one in the kitchen,cooking. 
    He didn’t even realize when Starr walked in until he heard his voice. 
    “What are you doing?” Starr asked. 
    Rocky looked back and their eyes met,he stared at him longer,he was wearing joggers pants,no shoes or flip flops on his feet,reason why Rocky didn’t hear him walk in,to crown it all he was wearing hoodie. 
    “Are you cold?” Rocky asked. 
    “I asked a question first” Starr muttered. 
    “Preparing dinner for everyone,aren’t you starving already?” Rocky asked. 
    “Really?” Starr immediately walked closer to him.
    “Whoa” he mumbled. 
    Rocky was just in the process,he was slizing some onions and spring onions. 
    “You’re so fast” Start said. 
    “Move a little bit away,you won’t like onion stings” Rocky muttered and Starr obeyed. 
    “What are you cooking?” He asked. 
    “Shrimp Fried rice” Rocky replied. 
    “I’ve never tried that” Starr mumbled. 
    “It’s my best food back home,mom always cook it for me,you will love it” Rocky said. 
    “The chicken” Starr pointed at the baked chicken on the table. 
    “It’s still hot,don’t burn your fingers” Rocky said and immediately took another set of gloves from the cabinet. 
    “Come here” he said and Starr moved closer to him. 
    He wore the gloves for him. 
    “Why are you so obedient today tho?” Rocky asked. 
    “Why are you acting cool today? You haven’t teased me” Starr raised his brows. 
    Rocky chuckled. 
    “I thought you don’t like me teasing you” He said. 
    “No I don’t,I’m just saying” Starr said and went over to pick one of the chickens while Rocky continue cooking. 
    Starr came back with a chicken wing in his hand and Rocky looked at him. 
    “Don’t worry,I will stay with you until you’re done” He said and Rocky nodded. 
    There was silence after that. 
    “Whoa…that’s so cool” Starr mumbled in amazement. 
    Rocky looked at him but he was focused on the food. 
    “Stop staring at me and focus” Starr said and Rocky smiled. 
    “Why are you smiling?” Starr asked. 
    “Coz you’re cute” Rocky replied. 
    Starr raised his brows and sighed. 
    “You keep saying that,it’s not funny….”
    “It’s not supposed to sound funny” Rocky cut in and he raised the brows more higher. 
    “Coz I’m serious,okay?” Rocky added. 
    Starr blinked. 
    “Stop it” He muttered and looked away. 
    “Your cheeks are red” Rocky said. 
    “No they not,you’re so annoying” Starr snapped. 
    ‘Okay” Rocky muttered and continue what he wss doing. 
    Starr swallowed and breathe out. 
    Rocky looked at him again. 
    “Are you mad at me?” He asked. 
    “No,I’m hungry” Starr rolled his eyes and Rocky chuckled. 
    “I’m almost done” He muttered. 
    After some minutes,he was done. He was about dishing the food when Chase and Grey entered the kitchen. 
    “Whoa! Rocky,you’re a life saver,I love you bro” Chase slapped Rocky’s head. 
    “I see,that’s what I get after cooking for you” Rocky said. 
    “What else? You need a kiss?” Grey snapped. 
    “Yes but not from you,bastard” Rocky snapped. 
    “Who? Suzy?” Chase asked and Rocky looked at him. 
    “Who’s Suzy?” He scoffed. 
    “What’s with you these days anyway? She claimed that you’ve dumped her” Grey said. 
    “Dumping is normal these days,why can’t she just stay away” Rocky scoffed. 
    “So you don’t want any girl anymore?” Chase asked. 
    “No I don’t” Rocky muttered. 
    “Why?” Starr asked and Rocky looked at him. 
    “Because…….”
    “Bro can we eat now? I’m dying” Chase interrupted. 
    “Hungry man” Rocky scoffed and they laughed.

    GOLDEN PALACE, KING’S OFFICE*
    King Zayne was standing and staring at the portrait by the office wall,It’s the picture of the late king,He was done with his work and now just bored of everything. 
    His mind was faraway as he stared at the picture and he was imagining him still alive and doing his work instead of him. 
    “Why did you leave so soon? Just….why” he muttered and sighed out loudly. 
    He was still thinking when he heard a knock on the door. 
    “Your majesty,it’s Lionel” 
    “Come in” King Zayne muttered and sat down on his seat. 
    The door opened and Lionel came in. 
    “Your majesty..Prince Theny is here to see you” Lionel said and the king frowned. 
    “Prince Theny?” He asked again. 
    “Yes your majesty” Lionel answered. 
    “Let him in” The king said. 
    Lionel went out and soon Prince Theny walked in. 
    His eyes met with Zayne’s own. 
    “Why are you here….brother” King Zayne asked. 
    Theny said nothing the first ten seconds,but all of a sudden he fell on his knees. 
    King Zayne raised his brows. 
    “I know I shouldn’t be doing this,and Thorin deserve the punishment. But….it’s more than five days already,he’s been living without food or water,I’m scared…please,your majesty,forgive him…only this once” Theny pleaded. 
    The king scoffed and stood up from his seat. 
    “Are you seriously pleading on his behalf or you two planned it together?” He asked. 
    ‘No we didn’t…but he’s my twin brother,I can’t just sit and do nothing” Theny said. 
    “What about my money then?” The king asked.
    “The money is still in his account,I have his password,I’m going to transfer everything back into the company’s account” Theny Immediately said. 
    King Zayne said nothing. 
    “Please,let him out of the prison,he won’t repeat it again….”
    “Get up” The king said. 
    Theny stood up on his feet in front of him. 
    “You’re going to transfer the money when?”
    “I can do it tomorrow morning….”
    “Then my brother will be released immediately after confirmation” King Zayne said. 
    “Really?! Thank you!” Theny said happily. 
    Zayne said nothing and watched as Theny walked out of the office. 
    He called Lionel after that and Lionel came in instantly. 
    “Your majesty,I’m here” 
    “Inform Charlotte to meet up in my chamber in one hour….the pool” King Zayne said. 
    Lionel bowed and immediately left the office. 
    *
    MUSE RESTAURANT* 
    “Goodnight Daniel!”
    “Goodnight”
    Daniel’s shift just ended and he was on his way home,getting out of the restaurant he removed the cap on his head and run his hand through his hair before sighing out loudly. 
    “Hey!” He heard someone and he paused to take a look. 
    Samara was standing beside her car,staring at him. 
    Daniel sighed and continue walking. 
    “Stop!” She shouted again. 
    Daniel started walking over to her and soon was standing in front of her. 
    “Why are you here?” He asked. 
    “Had dinner yet?” Samara asked. 
    “No” 
    “Let’s eat together….”
    “Don’t bother,I’m going to cook at home and eat. You should also go home” Daniel cut in. 
    “Then,let’s go together” Samara said and Daniel raised his brows. 
    “Go where together?” He asked. 
    “Your place” She replied. 
    “Why? Are you trying to come with me and mock me again because my house wouldn’t be big up to your taste?’ Daniel snapped. 
    “What?” 
    “Isn’t that it?” Daniel asked. 
    “Dan……”
    “What the f+ck can I do to make you stop appearing in front of me and just let me be? I’m having a bad day already,every day but seeing you adds more to my hardship,did I offend you in some ways?! Why can’t you just let me be and stay the fuck away!! Do you oppress everyone just because you’re a princess and you’re rich?!…….”
    “Hey!!!” Samara screamed and pushed him. 
    “Are you that blind to see?!” She yelled back angrily at him. 
    “What? Seeing me adds to your hardship? Fine! I will stay away from you,definitely you won’t see me appear in front of you again,happy now? At least my face won’t annoy you so much anymore,I’m already for making things hard for you” Samara said and entered her car,she actually came alone. 
    She closed the door loudly and zoomed off. 
    Daniel rolled his eyes and started walking away as well. 
    His phone suddenly started ringing and he answered immediately. 
    “Mr Daniel”
    “Doctor,is everything okay?” Daniel asked in a soft voice. 
    “I’m sorry but,your sister’s condition is getting worse everyone and might become worst if you don’t pay bills for her surgery soon,she can’t stay alive with the medicine anymore….”
    “Can’t you just do something and give me more time? I’m gathering the money already and……..”
    “We can’t let it pass this month ending,that’s all I have to say” The Doctor said and hung up. 
    Daniel checked the date,his fingers shaking as he tried controlling his tears. 
    It’s 25…..
    “Ahh….” He broke into tears and almost lost balance to walk. 
    He just stood there,crying. 
    From afar,Samara was inside her car,staring at him. 
    “Silly kid” She muttered. 
    She stayed there until Daniel boarded a taxi,then she followed the taxi. 
    Minutes later,the taxi stopped and Daniel came out. 
    Samara looked at the building where Daniel entered,it’s one of the free apartments for homeless citizens. 
    Her eyes widened and she immediately got down from the car,expecting him to come out again,maybe probably he went there to do something,but that never happened. 
    She swallowed and bit her lip hard. 
    After staying there for more minutes,she entered her car and drove off,her mind only filled with Daniel’s thought and nothing else. 
    *
    GOLDEN PALACE*
    Queen Charlotte was just ready to go to the king’s chamber,she put on a night robe which cover up enough,she was putting on a sexy bikini underneath. 
    Just when she was about going out,Lydia came in. 
    “Your highness,Princess Samara is here” She said. 
    Charlotte’s eyes widened. 
    “Samara?” She asked. 
    That’s new…Samara has never came to her suite before. 
    “Let her in” Queen Charlotte said and Lydia went out. 
    Samara came in just after. 
    “Can we talk?” She asked. 
    Charlotte sighed. 
    “Five minutes,the king is waiting for me” She muttered and Samara nodded. 
    “I need your help” She muttered. 
    “My help?” Charlotte asked again. 
    “Yeah” Samara replied. 
    “How?” Queen Charlotte asked. 
    *
    After her conversation with Samara and Samara left,she also walked out of her suite and was immediately escorted to the king’s chamber. 
    Hunter took her to where the swimming pool is,as they approached the pool,Hunter went back and left her alone to go on her own. 
    As she got close,her eyes were on Zayne who was sitting on the pool edge,smoking. 
    Queen Charlotte raised her brows.
    ‘He smokes?!’ She screamed inwardly. 
    King Zayne turned when he heard footsteps and their eyes met. 
    ‘Why are you surprised Charlotte?’ She scoffed inwardly and walked closer and closer. 
    “You’re here” The king said. 
    “Yes your majes……Yes My king” she muttered. 
    Zayne dropped his blunt and sipped from his wine. 
    “You don’t have a problem with me smoking right? You look surprised” He said. 
    “Oh…no…I just….” She stopped when he dived into the pool. 
    Charlotte took her lip in…some maids brought them some desert to snack on and another wine. 
    They poured into a glass for her before walking away. 
    “Why are you just standing there doing nothing?” Zayne asked and swam to the edge again. 
    “I don’t…know how to swim” She mumbled. 
    “Come in” Zayne said and she looked at him. 
    She slowly undid the rope in front of her night robe,she could feel the King’s eyes burning into her. 
    She removed the robe completely and faced him,he was really staring at her,with those sexy eyes of his. 
    King Zayne stared at her blankly,feeding his eyes with every part he’s seeing. 
    Charlotte sat down first on the edge nervously before trying to get down into the water. 
    King Zayne offered her his hand and she looked at him before holding him. 
    Their eyes locked again and that moment,it was as if nothing else was moving in the world,just them lost in each other’s eyes. 
    “You’re so….hot” King Zayne uttered after the silence. 
    Charlotte blinked in shock. 
    “Really hot” He repeated and she could feel her heart racing abnormally. 
    “I……”
    Zayne placed a finger on her lips and she batted her lashes. 
    He moved closer and positioned himself in between her thighs,she swallowed hard when their faces became so close,she could feel his fresh breath against her face. 
    King Zayne smiled flirtily. 
    “Nervous?” He asked. 
    Charlotte nodded gently. 
    “Kiss me” He muttered and she didn’t think twice before placing her lips on his own. 
    Zayne wrapped his hands around her in the process and carried her from where she was sitting,her legs wrapped around him. 
    He broke the kiss but their faces remain close to each other. 
    Charlotte bit her lower lip when she felt his squeeze her @ss cheeks. 
    “Don’t do that” Zayne said and Charlotte gazed at him. 
    “Bite your lips again and I will fuck you right here” King Zayne uttered. 
    Charlotte stared at him for a second and bite her lip..in a more flirty and s+xy way. 
    The king blinked. 
    “Do it” Charlotte muttered. 
    King Zayne could feel it,that second his cock sprang up from it’s resting  place.

    “I’m going to talk to my husband,get out!” Queen Charlotte yelled angrily. 
    Lily blinked and turned to the king,he ignored her eyes and said nothing. 
    Lily picked up her right leg heel that removed as the king dropped her,then stormed out angrily. 
    King Zayne sighed and slides his hands into his pocket before facing Charlotte,her glare still intact. 
    “Spill it out Charlotte” He said in a cool voice. 
    “Your majesty……”
    King Zayne raised his brows. 
    “My King,you were carrying her in your arms” Queen Charlotte said. 
    “She was falling,you don’t expect me to stay here without doing nothing.” he replied. 
    “That aside,I still don’t get what you two have been talking about for more than four hours,and I was inside alone. We planned to spend the day together but it’s all in the mud now” Charlotte said. 
    “You need to be more patient Charlotte,you can’t just shout at anyone like that,she’s a royalty too. I just kept quiet because she has to respect you no matter what,but don’t do that next time” King Zayne said. 
    “It’s not as if I can control my anger,I don’t like the way she was in your arms” Queen Charlotte said,her voice barely audible. 
    “It’s fine” The king said. 
    She moved forward.
    “Can I hug you?” 
    He stared at her and gently moved closer to her then draw her to himself in a soft hug. 
    Charlotte closed her eyes and inhaled his sweet scent,he smells like citrus,so invigorating and refreshing almost enough to make her sleep off in that position. 
    She just held him close to herself,not ready to let him go. 
    “Charlotte” She heard the king call after about three minutes and she didn’t make any sign of movement. 
    Charlotte opened her eyes and moved back. 
    “I’m sorry” She muttered. 
    “You had lunch yet?” The king asked. 
    “No I haven’t” Queen Charlotte responded. 
    “Let’s do that together then” He said and she smiled. 
    They both walked out of the study room. 
    * 
    QUEEN LIRIEN’S SUITE* 
    “Your highness” A guard bowed as he entered. 
    The queen turned and faced him. 
    “What about my son?” She asked. 
    “I couldn’t meet him your highness…..”
    “What are you talking about? What about the food?” She snapped. 
    “I’m sorry your highness but all the guards there have been ordered not to let anyone in,I tried the strategy you told me to use but they didn’t fall for it either. They are loyal guards of the king yoir highness” He said. 
    “He’s going to regret this” Queen Lirien muttered. 
    The guard said nothing. 
    “Where is Vynessa?” The queen asked. 
    “The queen should be at the small garden as usual your highness” 
    Immediately,Queen Lirien walked out of the suite,her guards and maids immediately followed her. 
    Everyone exchanging glances and wondering where she’s off to,,even more crazier when she began to approach queen Vynessa’s suite. 
    Getting to the garen,as predicted,Queen Vynessa was right there under the shield. Sitting on the back flat chair,the maids holding fans and fanning her carefully,some massaging her feet. 
    “Your highness” The maids greeted and queen Vynessa opened her eyes to see an angry looking Lirien. 
    “I need to talk to you” She said. 
    Queen Vynessa glanced at the maids with her,they all bowed and walked away. 
    The ones with queen Lirien left as well,leaving just the two queens. 
    “You can have you seat” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “And you think I’m here to sit down?” Queen Lirien snapped angrily. 
    “Oh…you must be here to fight” Queen Charlotte said. 
    “Obviously,your children took their rudeness after you” Queen Lirien said. 
    Queen Vynessa smiled and said nothing. 
    “You’re the king’s mother,the title that you wanted so badly after all. But I’m sure you can still call him to order,why would he starve my son for fifteen days?! He’s the first son of this royal family,no matter who the king is,he is still the right heir and you know that,your son have no right to treat him like trash!” Queen Lirien snapped. 
    “I hope you can put more respect next time when speaking of the king” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “What?”
    “And besides,I’m sure we were there together that day,he wasn’t ready to listen to anyone,the king’s judgment is final,who am I to go against it? You should have tried your best to teach the prince about the punishment of stealing from the company, queen mother,I’m glad my children took their rudeness after me,at least they don’t steal,and if they do I won’t try to cover up for them,but they will never do it” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “Are you saying I knew he took money and covered up for him?” Queen Lirien asked. 
    “I didn’t say that,it was just an illustration” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “You’re so rude…..”
    “I will advise you to visit the king himself,coming to me won’t solve anything” Queen Vynessa said. 
    Queen Lirien glared and walked away.

    NATALIE & CAROLINA’S PLACE* 
    “You seriously don’t mean it,that dude said he would think about what?” Caro asked with shock written all over her face. 
    “About becoming my friend” Samara replied with a fake laugh. 
    “That’s insane,his standard is more higher than I thought” Natalie said and laughed with Carolina. 
    “That’s all you can say? What silly standard? How could he reject me like that?” Samara snapped. 
    “Point of correction princess,he didn’t reject you,he said he would think about it,so you have to wait for his answer” Caro said. 
    “Me? Wait for his answer? Count me out” Samara hissed. 
    “But I can actually bet that you’re waiting” Natalie winked. 
    “You might just go blind soon,don’t wink at me bitch” Samara snapped and they laughed. 
    Samara rolled her eyes and faced her phone. 
    “Okay okay enough of Daniel,let’s eat. And Samara is really sleeping over tonight right?” Natalie asked. 
    “Yeah I got a nightie and my outfits for tomorrow” Samara replied. 
    “We are eating what?” She asked. 
    “I was going to ask you,just mention anything princess” Carolina said. 
    “How do you expect me to know? I just eat whatever the maids prepare at palace,I don’t know the names” Samara replied and her friends laughed out. 
    “What’s funny?” She frowned. 
    “Nothing,I’m not surprised but I don’t know why I’m laughing right now” Natalie said. 
    “Don’t bother about cooking,let’s just go eat at the restaurant,recommend a good one,bills on me” Samara said. 
    “Of course!!!!” They screamed. 
    “But before that,do you have any cereals here? I’m starving,and we definitely can’t eat dinner by this time” Samara got up and left for the kitchen. 
    She got to the kitchen and brought out her phone,she checked her messages and sighed out. 
    “He seriously didn’t send anything?” She muttered. 
    ‘Girl you don’t have his contact and he doesn’t have yours’ her subconscious mind whispered to her and she batted her lashes in confusion. 
    “Am I going crazy?” She chuckled.
    “Get back to normal Samara” She said to herself and dropped her phone. 
    She found where the cereals and milk are,prepared for herself and left the kitchen afterward. 
    *
    ERICA’S HOUSE*
    Suzy was sitting down on the bed,watching Erica on her phone doing nothing than staring at Zayne’s pictures with her. 
    Those are the time he was just a prince and a normal person,those good times he never rejects her calls and requests,but now things are totally different,more worse than she ever imagined. 
    “Are you just going to stay here and keep acting like a widow? That bitch stole your man from you and that’s it,Zayne belongs to you. She just came from nowhere and was crowned as queen? How sure are we that the king actually choose her and not you?” Suzy asked. 
    Erica turned and looked at her. 
    “But,the king himself met with her before he died,I mean she was already living at the palace before he died so if the king didn’t choose her,wouldn’t that be a problem?” She asked. 
    “Well who knows?” Suzy rolled her eyes. 
    Erica sighed out. 
    “I’m just tired,I don’t know what to do anymore. And I hate the fact that Zayne is making things worse,like he doesn’t even care anymore,how true is that?” She asked. 
    “Who knows? Maybe he’s just pretending because of the bitch he calls his queen. How about you try going close when he’s not with his queen? Let’s see if he would be able to resist you” Suzy said. 
    Erica bit her lip and thought for a while. 
    “Remember Samara doesn’t like her?” Suzy asked. 
    “That’s right…but only Samara won’t help things,I need to think about something else” Erica muttered. 
    “Come here” Suzy said and Erica went to join her on the bed. 
    Suzy whispered something into her ear and then they exchanged glances. 
    “We need to get more people on your side remember?” Suzy asked and Erica nodded with a smile.

    8PM, GOLDEN PALACE* 
    Queen Charlotte was on her way to the king’s chamber,after they ate lunch together,she had to leave to do some school work,her assignments is due tomorrow and must be submitted,she almost forgot tho. 
    “Your highness,I don’t think his majesty is back yet” Lydia said and Charlotte paused a little. 
    “Back from where?” She asked. 
    “His majesty left the palace about thirty minutes ago my lady” Amaya said. 
    “Thirty minutes ago?” Queen Charlotte blinked with a surprise look on her face. 
    “What’s the time now?” She asked. 
    “Its eight now” They answered. 
    Charlotte said nothing,but then she caught a glimpse of Lionel walking along with some other guards. 
    They got closer and greeted her. 
    “I heard the king is not in the palace” Queen Charlotte faced Lionel. 
    “Yes your highness,he went out” Lionel replied. 
    “To where?” Charlotte asked curiously. 
    “I’m sorry your highness,but his majesty didn’t give me any order to disclose where he went to” Lionel replied. 
    Queen Charlotte nodded. 
    “I understand,thank you” She muttered. 
    Lionel and other guards bowed and walked away. 
    Just as Charlotte was about leaving as well,two maids came to her. 
    “Your highness,the old queen want you to join her in the dinning room” They said. 
    “Oh…mother?” Charlotte smiled. 
    “Yes your highness” 
    Queen Charlotte followed and they walked quietly to the direction of the dinning hall. 
    Getting there,the rest of the maids stopped at the back and Charlotte walked to the table,but soon the smile on her face vanished when she saw Erica there already eating with the queen. 
    Erica looked up and their eyes met. 
    “Mother” Charlotte called. 
    “Oh,Charlotte,have a seat” Queen Vynessa smiled. 
    Charlotte sat down somewhere else since Erica was sitting close to the queen. 
    “I heard his majesty went out so I was thinking you might be bored eating alone” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “Thank you mother” Queen Charlotte smiled. 
    The maids dished out her own meal as well. 
    “I’m so happy to see you today Erica” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “Thank you mother,I felt bad the last time I came here and couldn’t see you. I will be coming over frequently now mother if you want” Erica said. 
    “Why not,you used to come here before the coronation,I was thinking you just want to keep your distance,you are free to come here anytime” Queen Vynessa said and Erica smiled. 
    Charlotte scoffed inwardly as she stared at Erica. 
    *
    A CLUBHOUSE,VIP PRIVATE LOUNGE*  
    The Royal Rebels were all there together chilling,it’s like the first time they are just together by themselves without other crowds ever since Zayne became the king. 
    Rocky and Grey were throwing some arrows into the dartboard,Chase and Zayne sitting together,each holding their smokes in their hands. 
    Starr excused himself and went to the restroom just like one minute ago. 
    “Dude I thought you were joking when you said you want to hang out with us” Rocky said after stopping what he was doing.  
    “I was missing you guys too much than I can take,it’s fucking boring in the palace,I’m just trying my best to remain composed but I’m losing it already” Zayne said and puffed out the smoke into the air. 
    “You don’t even know how much we miss you too,especially Starr,he always talk about you” Grey said. 
    “I know,but there’s nothing I can do. I’m always busy doing what I never saw myself doing in ten years,like,I’m just doomed” Zayne muttered and they all laughed. 
    “But at least you’re doing well,and you have a beautiful queen” Chase winked. 
    “Indeed” Zayne scoffed. 
    “So tell us,you finally had sex with her?” Rocky grinned and Zayne cleared his throat. 
    “You’re not allowed to know about the king’s love affair” He said in a deep voice. 
    “Guy I thought you said for now we shouldn’t see you as the king but as our best friend” Rocky said. 
    “That’s too extreme” Zayne snapped. 
    “I can’t talk about my queen like that” He added. 
    “Whoaaaa!!!!!” The boys chorused and clapped.
    Starr returned and met them clapping. 
    “What happened?” He asked. 
    “Someone’s respecting his queen” Chase laughed. 
    “I’m happy if that’s true” Starr said. 
    “Oh come on,it’s just something I think it’s normal. I’ve never seen father talking about the two queens,even if they fight” Zayne muttered and the guys smiled. 
    “Do you see yourself getting another queen aside Charlotte?” Grey asked. 
    Zayne kept quiet. 
    “That silence means alot” Starr laughed. 
    “No…I’m just thinking of the reason why father had my mom even after the first queen. She was his first love but she wasn’t from a royal family,,it was father who broke the necessity of a prince must to get married to a princess” Zayne explained.
    “So,if that rule was still there,,Erica might be the best option for you” Rocky said. 
    “Yeah,I actually thought father would choose Erica no matter what tho” Zayne muttered. 
    There was silence. 
    “Charlotte is prettier” Starr suddenly spoke up. 
    “That’s right” Rocky agreed. 
    “I don’t think so tho” Chase chuckled. 
    “I don’t think so either,Erica is hot dude,but she’s full of herself,that’s the red flag” Grey said. 
    “Maybe” Rocky laughed. 
    “Let’s stop talking about that and just do what we came here for” Starr said. 
    “I wish I don’t have to go to the palace tonight” Zayne groaned. 
    “Do you need a girl?” Rocky winked. 
    “Stop it” Starr glared at him. 
    “I wish I can do that” Zayne pouted. 
    “I won’t let you do that,,cheating is bad” Starr said. 
    All the boys laughed. 
    “Gosh,Starr is one funny type” Zayne said. 
    “Funny? Are you going to cheat? Don’t listen to them” Starr said. 
    “Of course I won’t” Zayne chuckled. 
    “He’s the king,he doesn’t have to cheat. He can just have a mistress” Grey said. 
    “Guys,stop it. I really don’t want to,,it’s not as if I have time for fucking these days” Zayne scoffed. 
    “What?!!!!!!!!!” They gasped. 
    “You mean it? Almighty Zayne don’t have time to f+ck?!” 
    They laughed out. 
    “I didn’t come here to listen to you guys making jest of me” Zayne muttered and poured some wine for himself. 
    *
    MUSE RESTAURANT*  
    Carolina,Samara and Natalie were all taken to an empty table space where they sat down,waiting for a waiter or waitress to come take their orders. 
    Natalie and Caro started taking some pictures and videos While Samara just sat there focus on her phone. 
    About two minutes later,a waiter walked up to them and the girls looked up,all surprised to see Daniel. 
    “Boy! You work here too?” Caro and Natalie exclaimed. 
    “Yeah” Daniel replied bluntly and shared the menu for them. 
    “Please go through it and tell me what you want” He said,making sure to avoid Samara’s eyes even though she was looking at him. 
    Carol and Natalie immediately told him what they want and he faced Samara. 
    “What about you?” Daniel asked. 
    “Give me what is delicious and okay” She muttered. 
    “You won’t reject anything I bring for you,coz I don’t want to listen to the manager’s rant” Daniel said. 
    Caro and Natalie blinked and looked at Samara,normally she would have flair up and insulted the person. 
    “I wouldn’t mind,just bring anything” Samara said calmly and Daniel walked away. 
    “Someone tap me please,is this Samara?” Caro asked. 
    “No I don’t think so,where’s my Samara?” 
    They started crying dramatically. 
    “You both are embarrassing me” Samara whispered. 
    “Sorry princess” They muttered. 
    Daniel and another waitress returned with their meals. 
    “Here” Daniel dropped Samara’s own and she looked at him. 
    “Thanks” She said. 
    Daniel nodded. 
    “You need to help me on that table too,I’m totally tired” The waitress with Daniel pouted and held his arm against her own. 
    Samara frowned. 
    “You can rest,I will do it” Daniel told her. 
    “No,let’s do it together” She smiled. 
    Samara suddenly coughed. 
    “I need water” She said. 
    “Get her water,I will attend to that table” Daniel told her. 
    “No,I want you to get me water” Samara snapped. 
    The waitress raised her brows and then looked at Daniel whose eyes were already on Samara. 
    “Can’t you do that?” Samara asked him. 
    “Princess,not here. I have things to do” Daniel said in a low voice. 
    “I want water,I’m a customer too” Samara glared. 
    Daniel sighed and faced the girl. 
    “Go on,I will meet you” He said. 
    “Don’t take too long” She said before walking away. 
    Samara rolled her eyes. 
    “Princess……”
    “My name is Samara,quit calling me princess” Samara snapped at Daniel. 
    “That’s new,you always want the respect” Daniel scoffed. 
    “How many bottle of water do you need?” He asked. 
    “One is enough,but before that can you show me to the restroom?” Samara asked. 
    Caro and Natalie exchanged glances. 
    “A girl will do that….” Daniel tried saying. 
    “I want you” Samara cut in. 
    “Follow me” Daniel mumbled and Samara stood up. 
    She followed Daniel and soon they approached the ladies restroom. 
    “That way” Daniel pointed. 
    Samara grabbed his hand and he looked at her. 
    “You said you would think about my offer” She said.
    “Not now,I’m working. Do you want me to lose my job?” Daniel asked. 
    “I don’t care” Samara snapped. 
    “Fine,let’s be friends. Can I go now?” 
    “Why are you in such a hurry? Are you dating that girl? The waitress” 
    “No I’m not,can I leave now?”
    Samara said nothing. 
    “Go into the restroom ,what are you waiting for,I have things to do” Daniel said frustratingly. 
    “I’m not using the restroom” Samara told him. 
    Daniel sighed. 
    “Let’s go back then” 
    Samara hugged him and Daniel was shocked. 
    “Hey,are you sick or something?” He asked. 
    ‘Shut up,I’m not sick” Samara snapped. 
    Daniel broke the hug.
    “I have to leave” He said and without waiting,he walked away. 
    Samara groaned and roughed her hair. 
    “What am I even doing?” She asked herself.

    10PM, GOLDEN PALACE*
    Charlotte was inside the king’s chamber when he arrived. 
    He was surprised to see her waiting up for him inside the bedroom. 
    “My King” Charlotte got down from the bed. 
    “You’re here” King Zayne said,getting rid of his shirt first. 
    “I was worried,I didn’t call because I thought you might be too busy to answer my calls. Where were you?” Queen Charlotte questioned and he looked at her. 
    “You don’t have to wait for me next time….”
    “Next time? Should there be a next time? My king,you can’t keep on making me worried….”
    “You don’t have to worry about me,I’m not a baby,I need some time out of this palace sometimes,don’t you think?” The king snapped. 
    “You are saying you need some time away from me?” Charlotte asked and the king looked at her. 
    “I’m in the palace too,that’s what you’re trying to say” She said. 
    King Zayne said nothing and took off his shirt completely. 
    “I’m sleeping alone tonight,goodnight Charlotte” He muttered and left the bedroom. 
    Charlotte took her lip in. 
    The only thing in her mind right now is Erica,that bi+ch definitely has a plan,because why is she suddenly acting so nicely? And asking if she’s allowed to come to the palace anytime she wants?
    She sighed and didn’t even know she waited so long until the king entered again,he had his bath and now in the sleep clothes. 
    “Still here?” He asked. 
    “Erica was here” Charlotte said. 
    “Erica? Why?” 
    “She had dinner with mother” She replied. 
    “Then?” King Zayne raised his brows. 
    “She’s acting weird” Charlotte muttered. 
    “It’s not their first time,just let them be” Zayne said. 
    ‘Let them be?’ Charlotte repeated in her head.  
    King Zayne glanced at her again. 
    “Goodnight…my king” She said sadly before leaving. 
    *
    NEXT DAY, ROYALS UNIVERSITY* 
    Charlotte left the lecture hall after her last class for the day,she was feeling so pressed that she couldn’t hold it till they get to the palace so she just had to leave. 
    “Emily,mind going with me to the restroom? You’re not in a hurry right?” She asked. 
    “No I am..I’m sorry Charlotte but my mom has been waiting for me” Emily showed her phone to Charlotte. 
    “Oh…go on. I will see you again next time” Charlotte said. 
    “Not tomorrow?” Emily pouted. 
    “Sorry” Charlotte also pouted. 
    “Okay bye,love you” Emily waved and ran off. 
    Charlotte also went to the restroom. 
    After doing her business in the restroom,she washed her hand and tried to open the door but she couldn’t. 
    Charlotte used both hands but still the same,it was as If the door was closed from outside. 
    “Hello! Anyone there!?” She began knocking on the door but nothing happened. 
    She would knock and try to open again,still nothing. 
    Suddenly she started hearing footsteps which made her stop,thinking someone finally heard her screams. 
    She was still there when the door opened slightly,but before she could think of moving,a gas smoke was thrown inside and the door got locked again. 
    Immediately she started couching as the whole place got covered up with the gas. 
    “Help!!!..somebody!!…” She screamed but couldn’t scream loud coz the smokes only entered her mouth more. 
    She kept on knocking loudly until she became weak and fell weakly on the floor. 
    Her nose began to bleed,then her ears before she finally lost her consciousness.

    “The kiss you wanted…..do it now” King Zayne uttered. 
    Charlotte didn’t waste a second,her lips captured his own instantly,eyes went shut and lips moving in sync. 
    King Zayne wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her even closer,taking over the kiss in no time,he kissed her so deeply,their tongues connected and his hands just continue moving all over her body. 
    Charlotte moaned sweetly,craving for more of his sweet taste,she got hold of his robe tightly as if she wasn’t going to let him go. 
    When the king finally stopped the kiss and tried breaking it,she ignored it and just continue kissing him to her own satisfaction before pulling back and opening her eyes,she found him staring at her. 
    “Don’t judge me….it’s our first time” She mumbled poutly and moved back a little. 
    “I didn’t say anything” King Zayne said. 
    “Your expression says it all,I wonder why you decided to give me my response today,after so many days,unfair” Charlotte mumbled. 
    He said nothing. 
    “Goodnight” Charlotte said and lay back on her back. 
    “Come closer if you want” Zayne said. 
    She shifted close and placed her head on his chest. 
    “I didn’t say you should put your head on my chest tho” King Zayne said. 
    “I’m comfortable this way” Queen Charlotte said and didn’t move back,she just closed her eyes like that. 
    King Zayne stared at her for some seconds,he removed her hair from his face and sighed,he closed his eyes and felt Charlotte moved even close to his body,almost making him breathless. 
    He opened his eyes again,she was hugging him in her sleep. He wanted to talk but just decided to keep quiet and allow her do her thing,after some minutes he also fell asleep. 
    * 
    Outside,Hunter was standing behind a pillar,just some distance away from princess Calantha’s suite. 
    His eyes moving from one guard to another waiting for them to move away from the entrance but it’s like something like that is not going to happen. 
    “Dude” Someone suddenly tapped him from the back and he turned immediately with his hand on the gun trigger. 
    “The f+ck,calm down” The person laughed. 
    Hunter blinked in shock. 
    “Lionel?” He called. 
    “Yes bro it’s me” Lionel smiled and immediately Hunter hugged him. 
    “Didn’t expect to see you again tonight,I was waiting for tomorrow” Lionel said before they broke the hug. 
    “When the hell did you arrived? Have you met the king?” Hunter asked. 
    “I just arrived dude,and the king sound just too cool to hear” Lionel chuckled. 
    “Yeah,the last time you left,he was just the prince” Hunter muttered. 
    “I’ve missed you dude,and the king too. Can’t wait to see him tomorrow” Lionel said. 
    “I’m sure he will be happy too” Hunter said. 
    Aside Hunter,Lionel is the second personal guard of Zayne,the late king himself choose them to be with him ever since he was young,they are older than him anyway,so it’s easy to say they raised and watched him grow. 
    “But,what are you doing here?” Lionel asked. 
    Hunter sighed and explained things to Lionel. 
    “Then,,let’s do that. How many minutes do you want me to buy for you?” Lionel asked. 
    “Ten minutes,seven minutes to get what I want and the remaining three minutes to be out of sight,meet me in my room after that” Hunter said. 
    “Cool” Lionel winked and walked away,Hunter watched him as he walked to the guards standing in front of the suite,he said something Hunter didn’t hear and soon,he left with all the guards. 
    “Smart @ss” Hunter chuckled,he looked left and right,clear,before running into the princess’s suite. 
    Princess Calantha sleep time is around 9pm to 9:30pm and now it’s past ten so definitely she’s asleep. 
    Hunter jumped through the balcony and went in,taking the back door. He made his steps silent but fast. He passed through the bedroom and for real Calantha was sleeping. 
    Like the king mentioned,since Calantha gave him the fake records,then the original one must be somewhere,unless if she disposed it. 
    Hunter started searching,first was the wardrobe,but nothing,he opened the book shelf beside the bed,empty. 
    He took his lip in and turned around to check if there’s anywhere else then left the bedroom,he walked into the living room,obviously no one would keep something that important in the living room,he was already about giving up when he saw another door,without thinking he opened it and went in. 
    It’s a small library,Hunter started searching the whole place impatiently but making sure he arranged it back neatly the way he met it. 
    And finally,looking into a small shelf,he found the documents. He took it and hurried out of the suite just the way he entered. 
    He was just in time because as soon as he was out of sight,Lionel returned with the guards,then walked straight to Hunter’s room as planned. 
    *
    NEXT MORNING, CALANTHA’S SUITE” 
    The small library was upside down already,Calantha was going here and there trying to find the record document,actually she had planned to dispose it today in the office and now she can’t find it. 
    The door opened and queen Lirien cane in,looking pissed. 
    “What do you mean by you can’t find the document? Where did you keep it?” She asked. 
    “I swear I kept it in this shelf mother,I’m so sure,I don’t know how…..”
    “Are you saying someone entered your room and took it?” Queen Lirien snapped and Calantha looked at her. 
    “Can anyone really come in here without my permission? Besides,it was here last night before I slept,I checked it,for real” She said. 
    Queen Lirien said nothing and sighed. 
    “You know what will happen if that record get into the wrong hands right? Then your brother is in trouble” She said. 
    “I need to talk to Zayne” Calantha muttered. 
    “Are you insane? Talk to him about what exactly? You think talking to him will solve anything? Find the records,that’s the solution” Queen Lirien snapped. 
    “Oh gosh…no” Calantha roughed her hair in frustration. 
    *
    “Good morning,your majesty!!” All the guards they meet on the way were greeting so loudly but King Zayne replied no one. 
    He was walking so fast and a little bit impatient, Henry reported to him just now that he found the record,he didn’t mention where he found it yet and Zayne was curious. 
    The guards were even trying hard to match his page and energy,till they got to his office. 
    Hunter and Lionel were standing at the entrance and they both bowed. 
    King Zayne stared at Lionel. 
    “It’s so good to see you again,your majesty” Lionel said with a smile. 
    “Welcome back” King Zayne said shortly and went in,the two followed him and met him already sitting down. 
    “Here is it,your majesty” Hunter placed it right in front of him. 
    King Zayne began opening right away and when he saw the main transaction record,he paused. The name Thorin was written boldly on it. 
    He chuckled and bit his lips. 
    “Where did you get this?” He asked. 
    “Princess Calantha’s suite” Hunter replied. 
    The king smiled again and nodded before closing back the records. 
    “What should we do now your majesty?” Lionel asked. 
    “When am I supposed to have a gathering with the councils?” King Zayne asked. 
    “In five hours time your majesty” They both replied. 
    “Send them a message and inform them I want all of them to gather in the courtroom in one hour time,nobody is allowed to miss it,not even for a reason” The king declared. 
    “Yes your majesty,I will do that now” Hunter bowed and walked out of the office. 
    “Make sure nobody leave the palace,starting from now. Including Charlotte” King Zayne said to Lionel. 
    “I will inform all the guards right away” Lionel bowed and also went out. 
    Zayne exhaled and rest his back on the seat well. 
    *
    FEW MINUTES TO THE ROYAL MEETING, QUEEN CHARLOTTE’S SUITE* 
    Charlotte was in jersey room,lost in thought. She already got dressed for school earlier when suddenly Lionel came to report to her that the king ordered everyone to stay in the palace until he brings back his word. 
    She was worried,wondering what was going on,curiosity was already eating her up. 
    Suddenly she heard the door open and she turned to see Lydia and Amaya walk in. 
    “Your highness” They both bowed. 
    “What’s going on?” Queen Charlotte asked. 
    “We are here to escort you to the court room” They both said and Charlotte raised her brows. 
    “Court room?” She asked again. 
    “Yes your highness ” 
    Charlotte was confused,it’s going to be her first time going into the court room. 
    “Give me some minutes” She said and went into the dressing room,she returned,wearing another dress. 
    “Let’s go” She muttered and removed her hair tie. 
    They got outside and the bodyguard started following them as well. 
    The walk to the royal court took some minutes,since the palace is a very big one. 
    Finally they arrived at the court. 
    “The queen is here!!” The royal announcer announced and all the guards outside bowed low. 
    The large door was opened for her and she stepped inside alone,without any maids or guards. 
    She could see all the royal councils and chiefs standing on their feet,she was surprised to see Queen Vynessa there also,sitting,Queen Lirien also present,then the two princesses and the twins princes as well. 
    ‘What is the king up to?’ Charlotte thought within herself. 
    “Good morning your highness” The whole council bowed for her as she walked to take her own seat,just next to the king’s own. 
    Her eyes fell on Calantha who seems lost and she wonder what is wrong with her. 
    They waited another ten minutes before they heard the announcer. 
    “His majesty is here!” 
    Instantly,the royal family got up as well,the door opened and King Zayne entered,Lionel and Hunter by his sides. 
    Everyone bowed together at once but he didn’t acknowledge anyone,his face was as cold as ice,he got the blank expression on his face till he got to his seat and sat dowm. 
    Hunter and Lionel stayed behind the king and queen. 
    “Your majesty,is there a problem? You look angry” One of the officials said and they bowed. 
    “Raise your heads” King Zayne stated and they obeyed at once. 
    His eyes moved around the whole room,from one person to another. 
    “Recently,someone stole three billion from my company” The king said and everyone gasped. 
    The council began murmuring among themselves. 
    “The money was stolen and the evidence and traces were deleted….or maybe I’m confused,what else are we supposed to call that?” King Zayne asked. 
    “A thief your majesty!” The council chorused. 
    Calantha shifted uncomfortably. 
    “The past two days,I’ve been working day and night to figure out how the money disappeared but most especially to find out who did it and what the money was spent on” The king said and everywhere became silent. 
    “And finally,I found it” He added. 
    👥 Who’s the person your majesty. 
    “Before that…I wouldn’t want to state out the judgment and punishment myself. So the reason why I called everyone is because,I want to know the punishment someone like that deserves,my father must have went through something like this before,and I would like to follow the same step he took”  King Zayne said. 
    Queen Lirien’s eyes already turned red,Calantha bit her lip,Thorin remain calm but inwardly he wasn’t close to calm. 
    “My officials,it’s up to you,,say the word” The king said. 
    “In the royal book of law,any person who is found guilty of theft will be punished excessively. He/She will be locked up in the prison for days which will be determined by his majesty,some beatings and with no food and water,until his majesty pleases” The oldest chief spoke up. 
    “That’s true..your majesty!!” The rest of them chorused. 
    King Zayne smiled and gave a sign to Lionel and Hunter. 
    Immediately they started distributing the records to everyone,the king ordered them to make a lot of copies and that’s why they have alot. 
    Lionel gave queen Charlotte her own too and her eyes widened when she saw it. 
    “Everyone must collect a copy,everyone” King Zayne ordered. 
    Lionel and Hunter gave it to everyone. 
    Thorin couldn’t even look at it. 
    “Your majesty,it’s the prince’s name” Someone mentioned. 
    “No,it’s the thief’s name,and you’re right it’s the prince” The king said. 
    “My son is not a thief!” Queen Lirien shouted. 
    “Oh…I guess the queen have an explanation for us” King Zayne said and everyone turned to her but she said nothing. 
    “I’m going to give eveyone who’s involved in this five minutes to explain to me where that money went to,if you can’t provide a reasonable explanation,then you are to face your punishment” The king said. 
    The whole place was silent. 
    “Princess Calantha,you have no explanation as well? They found it in your room” King Zayne said coldly. 
    “Your majesty,I’m sorry I……”
    “If you don’t have any explanation to what I asked for,keep quiet” The king cut her off. 
    After five minutes and nobody spoke up,
    “And here’s my judgment” King Zayne spoke up. 
    All quiet and curious to hear him. 
    “Firstly,Prince Thorin who is my brother’s position in the company will be taken from him,I will give Prince Theny a chance to continue working while waiting for when he will fuck up as well” King Zayne declared. 
    “You can’t do that!” Queen Lirien screamed and got up. 
    “If anyone speak again,I will order the guards to throw you out,even if the person is my mother” The king said and Charlotte blinked. 
    The whole place was quiet. 
    “As for the princess,you’re also suspended from anything concerning the company until further notice,whenever I decide to forgive you. Finally,I want Thorin to be thrown into the prison,for theft and first stressing me,and also for putting the company into debt trouble. He will be there for five days without food and water” King Zayne said and stood up. 
    “Just because you’re the king doesn’t mean you can treat anyone the way you want!!” Queen Lirien yelled and the king faced her. 
    “How dare you!” Queen Lirien yelled again.
    “Five more days to Thorin’s punishment,and with enough beatings” King Zayne declared,his eyes on queen Lirien. 
    “You devil!” She yelled. 
    “Another five days” The king said. 
    “If you utter one more statement,you will join him” He added. 
    Queen Vynessa got up and tried to talk
    “Don’t do it,mother” King Zayne said even before she could start. 
    “Guards! Take him away!” 
    Immediately they rushed in and carried Thorin out of the court room. 
    “Anyone want to say anything? Is there anybody who want to go against what I just did?!” The king asked. 
    All the councils bowed. 
    “No one would dare,your majesty!” They chorused. 
    King Zayne looked at queen Lirien,her eyes also glaring at him. 
    “You might have something to say” He uttered. 
    She swallowed and said no word. 
    Like that,the king stormed out of the courtroom,Hunter and Lionel immediately followed. 
    Charlotte also got up from her seat and walked out in a hurry. 
    She didn’t meet up with the king so see went straight to his chamber but was stopped. 
    “I’m sorry but his majesty said he want to be alone” Hunter told her. 
    Charlotte sighed and nodded,she turned back and walked away. 
    *
    NIGHT TIME*
    The palace was shrouded in an unsettling silence. The king’s judgment earlier that morning had left everyone on edge. His anger was felt and no one dared to disturb him.
    Since morning, the king had locked himself in his chamber, refusing to see anyone. Guests who had arrived at the palace were turned away, told that the king was in no mood to receive visitors. Even food, carefully prepared by the palace maids, was rejected.
    The king’s fasting worried everyone. No one had seen him this angry before. The palace staff tiptoed around, fearful of provoking his wrath further.
    Calantha, desperate to apologize, had tried to enter the king’s chamber earlier. But the guards, barred her way as ordered by the king. 
    Queen Lirien was still furious anyway,she haven’t stopped ranting but she couldn’t do anything for Thorin who was already in the prison for hours. 
    Queen Charlotte, however, was more concerned than everyone else,she was so worried that he might get weak if he doesn’t eat anything,it’s been hours. 
    She had to prepare food by herself again, simple yet nourishing meal. Perhaps, she thought, a gentle touch and a warm meal could soothe his temper.
    As she approached the king’s chamber,without her maids, the guards blocked her again. 
    “We are sorry your majesty but……”
    “Stay back” Queen Charlotte glared and they all stopped. 
    “Open the door” She ordered. 
    The entrance door was opened for her and she went inside,the door closed behind her again. 
    She walked straight into the dining room to drop the food. 
    She turned to go back only to find the king standing right there,staring coldly into her soul. 
    “I’m sure I made myself clear enough that I don’t want anyone….”
    “I’m not anyone” Queen Charlotte cut in. 
    King Zayne said nothing to turned to walk out of her sight,she immediately ran after him and blocked his way. 
    “I know how you’re feeling right now….”
    “Leave” He cut her off. 
    “Your majesty…….”
    “Charlotte leave!” King Zayne yelled and she swallowed. 
    “I don’t want to” She muttered and Zayne frowned. 
    “You’ve been here since morning,it’s time you stop your anger,please” She said. 
    “How am I supposed to stop?! Do I have control over it? Do you understand what I’m feeling or you’re just here to talk?” The king snapped. 
    “But isn’t this why I’m here?!!” Charlotte screamed out. 
    “If I can’t make you calm down just the way you’re pushing everyone away then what makes me your queen?! How am I different from everyone else? How!!” She cried out. 
    “Can’t you see? Can’t you see how much I care about you? Can’t you see how worried you always make me? Can’t you see how much I like you?! Can’t you?!!” She shouted in tears. 
    King Zayne looked away. 
    “Don’t like me….we had an agreement….”
    “I don’t care about that crazy agreement we once had,okay? I’m your queen and there’s nothing you can do about it” Queen Charlotte snapped. 
    “Leave” The king muttered. 
    “Don’t force me,I will not go….”
    “Then what are you doing here? Should I use you to stop my anger? What exactly…….”
    “I don’t care! Use me if you want,that’s why I’m here anyway,use me anyhow you want”  Charlotte muttered. 
    “You might regret what you just said Charlotte” King Zayne said and Charlotte looked at him. 
    “I won’t” She muttered. 
    “That was your last chance to leave” He said. 
    “I’m not leaving…..” Before she could finish,he pulled her against the wall and locked her hands above her head,a gasp escaped Charlotte’s lips. 
    She looked up and her eyes locked with Zayne’s own. 
    “I’m giving you one last chance to leave or…….”
    “I don’t…want to” She mumbled. 
    King Zayne stared at her,surprised. 
    He released her. 
    “Just do it whatever you want to do and stop making me go crazy for nothing!” Queen Charlotte shouted. 
    He looked at her again and slammed his lips against her own,in a crazy aggressive and hard kiss. 
    It was different totally from the one they had last night,he was so possessive and dominant,Charlotte couldn’t even follow his pace as he ate her up. 
    He grabbed her waist and locked her more against the wall. 
    She felt his hand grabbed his b👀bs and she moaned into his mouth. 
    But when she thought that was all,he got hold of her nightie and ripped it off. 
    A loud gasp escaped her mouth. 
    “Your chance ended,you can’t go anywhere now even if you want to” He whispered into her ear and Charlotte froze. 
    He grabbed one of her b👀bs and squeezed it. 
    “My King….” Queen Charlotte moaned.

    (Badasses•Bad•Jerks)

    By; Naomi Cindy B.

    ★★★★★★★★★

    Emory stayed in his arms for what looks like forever, and like magic, her body temperature started going down.

    Levi hugged her tighter, diving his fingers into her dark sleek hair and allowing her to find calmness in his embrace__and his scent.

    He broke the hug after five long minutes, and when her face came back to him, he he dabbed the streaks of tears with his warm thumb.

    Emory wouldn’t stop staring at his eyes.

    They’re not dark or blank or cold as usual. There’s a slight drop on his lids, and that seems to be covering his eyes like he doesn’t want to look at her or something.

    He squatted in front of her suddenly, and she hiccupped as he took off his sneakers, leaving him barefoot.

    He raised her right leg from the ground, and she quickly held his hair for balance as he inserted her leg into the sneaker.

    It looks funny cos it’s way bigger.

    “My leg is slim” she voiced out gently.

    “I know” he replied, tying the lace before wearing the second one for her.

    He stood and got another pair of sneakers from his bike safe, putting that on, then he climbed the bike.

    “Home? I don’t wanna go home yet” she shook her head.

    “I’m not taking you home yet. Come here” he replied, and she made to walk, but the big sneakers made her start dragging her feet on the ground.

    She couldn’t help but laugh at herself, stopping after three drags.

    Levi smirked knowingly.

    “Levi are you enjoying this?” She chuckled, and he stretched his hand forward.

    “C’mon, fox” he tilted his head.

    She smiled and took two more drags before getting to him.

    He took her hand and pulled her closer, covering the remaining distance.

    He got the second helmet and wore it on her head, then he began strapping.

    “I can do it myself” she said.

    “I know, shh” he replied, and she smiled again.

    He finished strapping, and she climbed behind him, wrapping her arms on his tummy.

    “Wait…my car” she suddenly remembered.

    “One of the workers here will take it back” he replied, kicking the bike to life.

    He didn’t tell her to hold tight before moving, the jerk made her hold him tighter, her nails almost digging into his tummy.

    He drove down the road, and two minutes into the drive, she was already feeling better.

    The cold night breeze, the street lamps, the dark atmospheric aesthetic, the people and the cars.

    Everything contributed so much in taking her mind on a peaceful trip, but the biggest contributor is the guy driving her right now.

    How can a guy smell this good? She could just sleep off on his back, and her body on his own feels so soothing that she kept tightening her hold on him.

    He’s as closed off as a chest, and no one has any idea what’s happening in his head, but the peace he brought her tonight will be remembered for long.

    He calmed her, but his silence stabs.

    Are they supposed to be talking when he’s driving?

    No idea, but she wants to.

    “Why don’t you have a car?” She asked suddenly.

    Not for talking sake, but out of curiosity.

    Levi is easily the richest guy in campus. He could buy as many cars he wants in a minute, but his low profile life is just cold.

    “Cars are boring” he finally replied, and she pinched him on the tummy.

    He didn’t even feel it or cringe.

    “Dogs and cats are boring, and now cars too? What else is boring?” She said.

    “Your questions” he replied.

    “That hurts” she muttered, deciding the keep quiet as he finally pulled up in front of a store.

    This time, he didn’t let her walk in.

    Immediately he removed their helmets, he swept her up in his arms, and a gasp escaped her lips as the oversized sneakers fell from her foot.

    She quickly fisted his shirt in the front for balance as he carried her into the store.

    “Welcome to L&G sir, I’ll take you on a tour to our various sessions” an attendant bowed by the door.

    “Needless, get me comfortable flip-flops, size 30” he said, and Emory’s eyes widened.

    “Yes sir” the lady left to get the flops.

    “How did you know my size? Wait… That other day when you bought me jean and shirt in school too… how did you know my waist measurement?” She said.

    “Simple, I make good use of my medulla” he shrugged.

    “Levi you’re lying” she replied.

    “You’re f+çking obsessed with calling me that name at the beginning of every sentence” his eyes turned intriguing.

    “It’s your name” she muttered, letting go of his shirt.

    The lady finally arrived, and he dropped her.

    The flip-flops is cream color with some golden rings and small beads as the adornments,, and it has some furry designs too by the sides.

    She slid her legs in, and they fitted perfectly.

    “That’ll be 100, sir” the lady smiled.

    “100 what? For flip-flops?” Emory’s eyes widened.

    “This is a brand store, miss. We only sell designers, and you’re wearing Prada flops” the lady replied.

    Emory blinked thrice, and Levi gave the lady his card.

    She swiped it on the machine and returned it.

    “Thanks for coming!” The cheerful lady said, and Levi walked out nonchalantly.

    Emory quickly went after him.

    “We could have gone to a normal store” she said.

    “Normal is boring” he replied.

    “Are you always like this?”

    “Yeah” he replied, and she stopped.

    He stopped too, turning back to face her.

    “Thought you wouldn’t stop” she smiled, walking to meet up with him.

    There’s an ice cream place across the road, so he took her hand and crossed with her.

    Her hand is so small inside his own, and she smiled inwardly when she felt the smallness.

    “I hate ice cream” she told him.

    “I know” he replied, going to the stand beside the ice cream shop 

    It’s a chocolate store, and her mouth watered immediately.

    There’s a long line in front of the place, and they’ll have to wait for at least an hour if they really want to buy.

    Levi easily went to the front and told the man in charge that he’s gonna pay for everybody, and he was allowed to get five cups.

    After paying, the people in line started thanking him continually as he left with Emory.

    “Wow, you’re rich huh?” Emory smiled when they got to a overpass not far from that road.

    “Hmm-mm” he replied, handing her the bag.

    She took it and got one cup of the Frozen Chic chocolate and the spoon.

    Immediately she opened the cover and ate a scoop, her eyes widened.

    “It’s so good! No wonder they have a long line there” she gushed, eating another spoon tastily.

    She scooped the third spoon and brought it to Levi, wanting to feed him.

    “Here, you should taste too” she said.

    “I hate sweet things” he replied, and she blinked twice, unable to hide her disappointment before directing the spoon to her own mouth.

    She ate alone, staring at the view of road below them while tapping her right foot repeatedly on the ground.

    While she stared down, Levi’s eyes are totally on her… Unwavering.

    “Levi” she suddenly called.

    “Noah” he replied, and she faced him.

    “Come to think of it, why would my parents give me a boy name as my second name” she made faces, her lips slightly stained with the chocolate.

    “You never heard of unis+x names? It’s for males and females” he replied, directing his gaze away from her face.

    “Whatever… Why are you 25?” She asked suddenly, and she saw his eyes flicker.

    “I spent four years home after an accident” he replied grimly.

    “Accident?” She said curiously.

    “Curiousity killed the cat, let’s go” he replied curtly, taking the remaining bag of chocolate.

    Emory continued standing there dumbfounded.

    Did she ask too much?

    He stopped when he couldn’t feel her beside himself, and he turned back.

    She quickly disposed the empty cup of chocolate with her and rushed to meet up.

    They walked back to his bike, and the ride to her house was silent.

    She got down when they arrived at her place, and he helped her take off the helmet.

    The chocolate stain is still on her lips, and he stared at it for some seconds, his Adam’s apple moving hungrily.

    “Go in” he told her, giving her the bag.

    “Yeah… goodnight” she replied, taking it and going for the door.

    Immediately she opened and stepped in, Levi drove off.

    Luckily, no one is awake.

    She went upstairs and checked Sybil’s room first.

    She’s still fast asleep in bed, so she left for her own room.

    When she left, Sybil’s eyes opened, and she sat up in bed.

    She actually saw everything.

    How Levi dropped her, the Prada flip-flops she’s wearing and a bag of chocolate from the most expensive chocolate company in this city.

    She sighed, hanging her sleep mask on her head.

    “She said she wasn’t interested in him” she muttered.

    GUEVARA HOSPITALS*

    Isaac was running as he came out of the cab that dropped him.

    He literally dashed into the hospital, and he was breathless when he got to the reception.

    “Isaac? Thank gawd you’re here” a doctor blocked him.

    “How’s my mom doing?” He asked impatiently.

    “Another hidden tumor surfaced in her front lobe, and we have to carry out the surgery unfailingly tomorrow” the doctor replied, holding his shoulder.

    “You’re gonna open up her head this time?” Isaac said fearfully.

    “Calm, she’ll make it. The problem is the expenses, you can get the bill from the nurses. I have to go now” the doctor said and left with another set of doctors.

    “Here” a nurse handed him the bill card, and he almost fainted.

    “It’s not month-end yet. I can’t get this amount tomorrow I swear. I…

    “I’m sorry Isaac, but you know we never ask you to pay before surgery, and you’re already owing the hospital a lot. She needs this surgery” the nurse said as a matter of fact.

    “F+ck… I’m really… I’m helpless and…

    “I’ll pay” a familiar voice said behind him, and he turned to see Hyce standing there like a godsent.

    “Hyce?” Isaac said, wiping the small tear in his eyes.

    “Give me the bills” Hyce took it, and Isaac stepped back, sniffling as Hyce cleared the bills easily, even the ones he’s owing the hospital.

    He came back to meet Isaac who’s standing gently beside the wall.

    “All done, let’s go see your mum” he said.

    “Thank you, I’ll pay you back I promise. I’ll work hard and pay you back” Isaac said, holding his hand.

    Hyce looked at the contact before looking back at his face.

    “No need” he said plainly.

    “But…

    “Your mum” Hyce cut him off, and Isaac sniffled before nodding.

    They went to her ward together, and they met the woman conscious.

    “Mum” Isaac rushed to her bedside to stroke her hair.

    Hyce stood at a safe distance.

    “Isaac” the woman smiled faintly, her wrinkled face full of worries.

    “You’ll be fine, he helped me with the bills” Issac replied, gesturing at Hyce.

    “Who’s…he?” The woman asked.

    “A friend from school” Issac replied, and Hyce smiled with his lips.

    A friend?

    Isaac considers him a friend?

    That’s a good start.

    TERRAVERDE PALACE, 12AM*

    Rebekah hasn’t stepped her room since nightfall.

    She stayed in the first royal living room, and no matter what the maids said, she didn’t move.

    She’s with her laptop, watching animes to kill time while eating popcorn lazily.

    The maids surrounded her with their heads bowed respectfully.

    There’s surely no sleep for them if she doesn’t.

    Since Conrad left angrily in the morning, he didn’t come back, and she’s still hoping for his comeback unless he wants to stop sleeping here.

    She picked another popcorn, but she was interrupted by the entry of someone into the main living room.

    She stood and rushed there, and she felt relieved to see Conrad just coming in.

    “Hey, thought you wouldn’t be coming” she said awkwardly.

    He ignored her completely, settling on the couch.

    He turned on the TV but they’re all about news and f+çking news, so he turned it off 

    “Bored out of my damn mind” he muttered, resting back and shutting his eyes.

    “I’m sorry about what happened in the morning. I wasn’t expecting the kiss i…

    Before she could land, he already stood and started climbing the stairs that led to the first balcony.

    “Conrad! Connie!” She shouted after him, but he didn’t turn till he entered and shut the door.

    “That mad guy, I’ve never apologized before c+nt! I hate you!!!” She yelled, feeling so pained as she stormed out.

    She grabbed her laptop, pushed the popcorn away frustratingly and left for her room.

    *

    TITANS MANSION*

    Omar is lying on his bed, eyes closed with a bandaged hand.

    The bandage is soaked with his blood already, and needs changing

    Pains is soaring in his system and seeping straight into his brain, but all he’s thinking about is North’s body.

    He couldn’t kill Emory like the bastard required, what if he reports him to the cops tomorrow?

    Will he finally go to jail?

    He opened his eyes and left the bed, opened the drawer and brought out the inhaler which is already wrapped in a white cover.

    “Who uses inhaler in the campus? Who’s asthmatic?”

    His damn brain couldn’t even provide an answer.

    He bit his fingers hard, and his phone buzzed.

    He quickly got it, and as expected, it’s a text from the bastard.

    ~Since you seem to be having difficulty like the idiot that you are, I’ll help you. Tomorrow, something will happen in school… I’ll hire thugs disguised as students~

    Omar quickly typed a reply…

    Omar: But I have my club members.

    The person: Your useless members? I don’t need them. You’ll receive orders from me tomorrow. Await it and make sure you follow.

    Omar: Ok.

    He dropped the phone and sighed out.

    So far the thugs will do the job and he’s only on the background, then he doesn’t have to worry about Levi.

    He grinned satisfactorily, falling back on the bed.

    Finally he’s gonna have his peace back.

    *

    NEXT MORNING, CARSON’S MANSON*

    Tate was fixing breakfast in the kitchen when the sound of the doorbell brought her out.

    She opened the door and found a delivery man waiting with a box 

    “How may I help you?” She asked.

    “This is for Miss Emory Carson” the man replied, and Emory came downstairs, already dressed for campus.

    “Me?’ she took the box, and immediately she saw the name of who it came from, she quickly signed the clearance, and the man left.

    “What’s that? Is that from a guy?” Tate asked.

    “Secret!” Emory replied, rushing upstairs.

    She opened the box impatiently, and she gasped when she saw a stunningly pretty lovebird inside, looking so meek.

    “Damn” she voiced out, carrying it in her palms.

    The bird cooed.

    There’s a small note attached under it’s wing, and it read…

    • You said your first lovebird died when you were ten, here’s a replacement…fox.

    She smiled prettily, hugged the bird to her chest before reading it again.

    Even his handwriting is so f+çking attractive.

    This guy is… Gosh.

    “From Banks?” Sybil’s voice made her look up to see her standing in front of her, dressed up too.

    “Hey, Sybil”” Emory stood.

    “Yunno what? Don’t say it cos it’s obvious… I’m off to Rain’s place. We’ll come to school together” Sybil said, and before Emory could reply, she already went downstairs.

    “Is that a bird? It’s pretty!” Tate came upstairs.

    “Ma, can you take care of it till I’ll be back?” Emory gave it to her.

    “Sure, I’ll get it a cute cage” Tate gave Emory a kiss on the hair before she went downstairs.

    Sybil was already gone when she got outside, but surprisingly, she met Conrad and Hyce waiting.

    “What are you guys doing here?” She asked surprisingly.

    “Banks won’t be in school today, so we’re your assigned bodyguards” Hyce saluted her, and she blinked.

    “Why? Where did he go?” She asked.

    “Madrid, he’s coming back today though. Hop in your car, we’ll drive behind you” Conrad said.

    Grudgingly, Emory got in.

    She drove out, and they drove after her 

    Why didn’t he tell her last night?

    It’s hard to understand this unruly guy.

    *

    RAIN’S PLACE*

    “You really came!” Rain gushed in excitement when Sybil showed up.

    “I didn’t want to drive with Emmy. She told me she wasn’t interested in Banks but she went out with him last night and you need to see the Prada flops he bought her. Yunno the chic chocolate that’s hard to get? He bought her a bag of it. That guy is madly rich” Sybil said, looking pained.

    Rain bit her tongue so hard that she retched cos of the news, then she rushed back in and vomited all her breakfast into the toilet.

    “Rain!” Sybil rushed in too.

    Her eyes widened.

    “Are you sick?”

    Rain rinsed her mouth and wiped with a towel before smiling.

    “No…I had a turning stomach but I’m fine. Will refill when we get to school”

    “Oh…ok” Sybil replied, noticing Rain’s bed.

    It’s surrounded with new teddy foxes, all colour black.

    Before she could ask questions, Rain pulled her out.

    “Yunno one new thing about Emory?” Rain said when they got to the car.

    “What?” 

    “She’s different from the Emory you knew before you travelled. This current Emory is selfish” Rain replied.

    Sybil didn’t say anything as Rain drove them out .

    *

    MADRID,8AM*

    Levi booked a 7am flight, and luckily, the flight didn’t even take up to one hour from Terraverde in Valencia to this place.

    He was holding just his phone and a black bag as he came out of the airport, his packs bulging under his black shirt.

    The bites and nail marks he got from Emory last night are still on his skin though faded. He didn’t bother to cover up with a jacket.

    “Levi Banks?” A tattooed girl suddenly blocked him.

    “One and only” he replied simply, and the girl led the way.

    He followed, passing through stalls and shops, bricks and several underpasses till they got to an old house.

    He was led in, and in the secluded room, he met the one he came for.

    It’s another tattooed girl, and this one has a short bob hair, several piercings and black gothic lips.

    He looks deadly dangerous, but smiles filled her features when Levi settled in front of her, dropping the black bag on the table.

    She’s Natasha, an illegal investigator who digs out even the deeply buried.

    “Bourbon? Tequila?” She asked.

    “None” he replied coldly.

    “Sheesh! You’re hot and cold at the same time, just like your father” she grinned.

    “He came here?” Levi raised his brows.

    “He payed me to search for the location of a particular Fred, and if you’re here for that same bastard, then it’s futile. No one knows where Fred is” she said, and he pushed the bag to her.

    She opened it and smiled.

    It’s stacked with cash to the brim, smelling like mint.

    “Hmm!!” She flipped a bundle, slapping herself with it.

    “I love the smell of cashero!” She grinned.

    “Find him…you have one week” he told her, his eyes so dead.

    “Two weeks, Banks” she replied seriously.

    “Take it” he said, standing and getting out of the place.

    She tapped the bud in her ear immediately.

    “Boys! A new catch!”

    *

    TERRAVERDE, LEGACY COLLEGE*

    Rain and Sybil entered the hall at a time, and the compliments Sybil started receiving made her slid a lock of her hair behind her ear.

    • She’s beautiful!

    • Heard she’s Emory’s cousin.

    • The resemblance!

    “You’re becoming popular” Rain said.

    “You think?” Sybil smiled, and Isaac suddenly caught up with them, breathing hard.

    “Rain! You didn’t wait for me this morning I went to your place!” He said breathlessly.

    “Maybe you should start riding with Hyce from now on” she replied.

    “What!”

    “Weren’t you with him at the hospital last night? Excuse me” she pushed him out of the way and left with Sybil.

    Isaac swallowed. 

    Emory, Lizzy, Nina and Rebekah entered the hallway at the same time.

    Conrad and Hyce are behind them, watching Emory closely.

    “Your bodyguards are handsome” Nina said.

    “Don’t even start” Emory replied, and Rebekah laughed, but it was short.

    Conrad is still ghosting her, and it’s not making sense anymore.

    Is he supposed to keep malice this long as a guy?

    Lizzy has been quiet, so Nina peeked at her and saw her pressing her phone.

    There’s a picture of a vibrator on the screen.

    “Are you going to order that? It’s big! Will it fit inside you?” Nina chirped.

    “Who knows? I like big things” Lizzy replied.

    “Damn!!!” Nina shouted, and Lizzy rushed away.

    “Come back here who’s influencing you!” Nina ran after her.

    Emory and Rebekah exchanged glances, shaking their heads.

    They got to class and met their mates packing their books.

    “What’s going on?” Emory asked.

    “ENG 404 will be holding at the library this morning” Rain replied.

    They all started packing too, leaving for the library.

    Three minutes later, no single person in the class again.

    Chadwick came in and went straight to Omar’s seat.

    He searched his messenger bag and luckily found the wrapped inhaler.

    He smiled as he took it.

    He just has to figure out the fingerprints on it, then he’ll be able to find out the culprit.

    Maybe if he does that, Levi will forgive him.

    *

    LIBRARY*

    “Wasn’t the library made for reading? Not for classes” Rebekah complained as she came in with the girls.

    They’re all holding cups of cold coffee they got on their way here.

    “Prof. Hayden is full of surprises, but I love his course the most” Nina replied.

    “Same here, he’s good” Emory replied, taking another drag from her coffee straw.

    They settled down together, and Emory noticed Sybil’s absence.

    “Where’s she?” She asked Rain.

    “She’s at the second library” Rain replied, and Emory made to drink from the coffee again, but it’s finished.

    “Already?” She dropped the cup, but strangely, she feels weak.

    Is coffee supposed to make her feel sleepy?

    And…she needs to pee.

    She stood suddenly.

    Conrad and Hyce stood at the same time.

    “I’m going to the restroom, you’re not planning to follow, right?” She said, and they both sat back.

    She left the library, and the drowsiness got worse even before she found a restroom.

    She almost fell asleep on her way.

    When she got there, she couldn’t even open the toilet seat to pee, so she sat on the covered seat, slumping back.

    She slept off automatically, and someone closed the door from outside.

    Five guys appeared with Omar, and Omar handed them a keg before leaving fast.

    The keg contains gasoline which was poured into the restroom through the space below the door.

    They wet the door with it too, and the last one took the cigar he’s smoking out of his lips.

    He threw it under the room, and fire ignited.

    They left that environment immediately.

    *

    LIBRARY*

    “Why is Emz not back yet?” Rebekah said when Mr. Hayden finally came in for the class.

    “She’s been gone for less than two minutes, chill” Nina replied.

    “But the restroom is beside this library” Lizzy said.

    “Good morning, class 2024” Mr. Hayden said from the front.

    “Fire!!!!!!!!!!” A student suddenly screamed from outside, and Rebekah gasped as the fire alarm sounded.

    “Fire!!!!!!!! New restroom C is on fire!!!!! Fire!!!!!!!!!!!” The screams came again.

    “No” Nina’s coffee cup fell from her.

    “Shit!” Rain and Lizzy stood at a time 

    “Emz!!!” Rebekah shouted, pushing everyone out of her way.

    Conrad and Hyce jumped over the table, running madly out of the library.

    ‼#UNEDITED_EXPECT_SOME_ERRORS

    Dice got home and entered the living room,Bonnie was there watching a series on netflix,she immediately turned with smiley face. 

    “You’re back…….” Her smile disappeared when she saw his face. 

    “What happened?!” She asked. 

    “Nothing,don’t worry about it” Dice muttered and dropped the fruit on the couch for her before going upstairs. 

    Bonnie got down from the couch and wore her flip flops,she ran after Dice and entered his room with him. 

    “What happened to your face? Were you attacked?” She asked. 

    “I just…it was an accident” Dice mumbled. 

    “Liar” Bonnie scoffed and closed the door before walking close. 

    “Tell me what happened”she said seriously. 

    Dice sat down on the bed. 

    “I got hit,but don’t worry its….”

    Bonnie pushed his head and his eyes widened. 

    “Hey,you don’t treat your elders like that” He said. 

    “An elder who can’t fight isn’t included” Bonnie scoffed. 

    “What?” Dice laughed. 

    “I will be back” She said and left the room. 

    Dice touched the side of his mouth and lip. 

    “Fuck those bastards,it hurts” He groaned. 

    The door opened and Bonnie came in again with first aid box. 

    “What are you doing with that?” Dice asked. 

    “You are injured because you went to buy me the fruits,I should have followed you” She said. 

    “Thank God you didn’t” Dice immediately said. 

    Bonnie ignored him and started doing her thing on his wound,soon she was done. 

    “Sorry” She muttered and touched his swollen lip. 

    Dice chuckled. 

    “You’re becoming nice these days,am I safe?” He asked. 

    Bonnie glared at him and pressed the swollen lip. 

    “Ouch!!!” Dice screamed. 

    “Learn how to keep quiet sometimes,maybe that’s why you got beaten up” She said. 

    “Wait,you think I can’t fight? It happened so suddenly,come on” Dice groaned and rubbed his lip. 

    Bonnie rolled her eyes and brought out an ice bag,she shoved his hand off his face and started pressing the ice on the swollen parts. 

    “Thank you” Dice muttered and Bonnie looked at him,their eyes met. 

    “It’s nothing” She mumbled and continue doing it. 

    “Where’s Wes?” Dice asked. 

    “Studio,I think he’s quite busy” Bonnie replied and Dice nodded. 

    There was silence after that. 

    Dice was smiling while watching Bonnie being serious. 

    “Stop smiling” Bonnie said slowly. 

    “Okay ma’am” Dice cleared his throat. 

    “Stop staring at me” she said again. 

    “Why??” 

    Bonnie sighed and dropped the ice.

    “All done,it won’t be as swollen tomorrow” She said. 

    “Oh no,I want it to remain swollen” Dice said and Bonnie frowned. 

    “Why?”

    “It’s an evidence” Dice said and took a picture of his face. 

    “So…how’s your tummy pain? Gone?” He asked. 

    “Obviously,what fruits did you get me?” Bonnie asked. 

    “Apples,Grapes,and….berries” Dice mentioned. 

    “How did you know my favorites?” Bonnie flashed him a smile. 

    “I just guessed” Dice replied. 

    “You’re the best,thanks,bye” She waved and ran out of the room.

    Dice groaned and fell on the bed.

    Inside the studio room,Weston was sitting down there with a pen in his hand,staring at the little lyric memo he just wrote down for no reason because he was bored. 

    He dropped the pen and pulled his hair strands from his face,thinking of what to do next. 

    Then he just started playing the piano randomly,within thirty minutes he got the perfect slow sound he want. 

    He smiled and brought out his phone,he placed it somewhere to video himself. 

    Sitting down back,he began playing the piano again and started singing. 

           🎹🎹

    From the moment I met you, I knew you were the one

    Your smile lit up the room, and my heart was won

    I saw the beauty in your soul, and I was drawn to you

    Like a magnet, my heart beats for you, forever true. 

             🎹🎹

    In your eyes, my heart finds its home

    With you, I am never alone…..

    He paused and stopped the video,he took his pen and note again,just singing that part alone gave him more inspirations for more and he wrote every words down before picking up his phone again. 

    He sent the part he recorded to Eva,she replied five minutes later.

    Eva: I love it!!! 

    She called him instantly and he answered the call. 

    “A new song?” She asked. 

    “No,just something I wrote some minutes ago” Weston replied. 

    “No no,you must get that shit recorded,I mean it’s so good!” Eva said loudly. 

    Weston chuckled. 

    “Was thinking about that,but I told you my new song will be dropping in few days….” 

    “No buts,I don’t think your fans would Care if you release songs every single day” Eva snapped. 

    “Okay” Weston chuckled. 

    “I will continue playing this one until you drop it,thanks for sending it to me” Eva said. 

    “Are you back home?” Weston asked. 

    “Yes,I just got home. I’m going to take a very cold bath and sleep” Eva replied. 

    “Goodnight West” She added. 

    “Bye” Weston replied and she hung up. 

    Weston groaned and placed his head on the piano.  

    He raised his head again and decided to take few selfies and post on his Instagram,he should be the only celebrity right now who have never posted his pictures on his page,aside when he announced his debut song. 

    By now he has 120 million followers,making him one of the most followed celebrities and artist. 

    Rose: 353 Million Followers

    Eva:  280 Million Followers. 

    Eva suddenly started gaining more followers within few months more than any artists,and besides her engagements are even crazier than Rose’s own even though Rose got more followers. 

    Rose always get the average of Four to five million love reactions on her posts,While Eva’s least reactions is five million…she get more than seven million sometimes and even ten million with crazy high comments. 

    Jerry: 220 million followers

    Brandon: 180 million followers. 

    Riri: 150 million followers

    Maria: 147 million followers

    Khloe: 120 million followers

    Angela: 119 million followers. 

    Weston took just three selfish and as Weston,they all look perfect,he posted them like that and left the page. 

    Weston got up and walked out of the studio room,he entered his room,had his bath and fell asleep right away. 

    *

    NEXT MORNING* 

    Weston was yawning as he climbed down the stairs one step after another,his eyes are half close and his fluffy hair scattered all over his head and face,even his morning face looks perfect and handsome. 

    He got downstairs and entered the kitchen,he opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water then walked out again. 

    “Morning dude” He greeted Dice and sat down on the couch. 

    “Guy,I can’t believe you’re just waking up” Dice chuckled. 

    “I’m just tired,I don’t know Why. Might skip school today” Weston muttered weakly. 

    “I’m saying you caused some crazy traffic on Instagram and you’re here” Dice said. 

    “Traffic? What’s that?” Weston asked. 

    “Are you serious right now?” Dice laughed and gave him his phone. 

    Revealing Weston’s post of last night. 

    “What’s wrong with it?” Weston looked at him confusedly. 

    “Are you kidding?! Who the heck gets more than 7million likes in less than twelve hours after posting?!” Dice snapped. 

    That was when Weston saw what he was talking about,he clicked on the comment section. 

    “Bro don’t check the comments,they are wild. I’m afraid those people might kidnap you and eat you up” Dice said while laughing. 

    “Stop it” Weston chuckled and started scrolling through the comments. 

    💞 He’s hot!!! 🤧

    💞 His body oh my gosh!!

    💞 Weston!!!

    💞 Okay,just kill me

    💞 That exposed chest,,,I want to touch him!!

    Weston blinked and left the comments to check the pictures he posted,he didn’t even realized his shirt first four buttons weren’t done. 

    “What the fuck,that wasn’t intentional!” He screamed. 

    Dice laughed out till he fell off from the couch. 

    “I didn’t know,I was sleepy” Weston said. 

    “You fed their eyes,good boy gone bad” Dice said. 

    Weston rolled his eyes and gave him back his phone. 

    “You’re all dressed up where are you going? And what about Bonnie?”

    “Bonnie left for school already and also,I will be leaving the house soon” Dice answered. 

    “Where to?” 

    “I’m meeting with dad today,got some important works to do” Dice said. 

    Weston nodded. 

    “I will be home all day” He muttered. 

    “What about food? You talked about getting maids” Dice said. 

    “Yeah,Gemini told me it’s possible they might start working today,I told her two is enough” Weston said. 

    “Cool…oh..I need to go,see you later” Dice roughed his hair. 

    “Stop” Weston groaned. 

    Dice smiled and went out. 

    *

    THE HUDSONS’ GROUP OF COMPANY* 

    Dice’s car stopped and immediately the door was opened for him,he stepped down. 

    “Morning boss!” 

    “Good morning boss”

    The guards continue greeting,he smiled brightly and waved at them before going inside. 

    The employees who saw him first screamed out,they all bowed to greet him. 

    “Morning,morning” Dice smiled at them as he walked. 

    After few minutes,he finally got into the conference room where his dad told him they are waiting. 

    He opened the door and entered. 

    Mr Cadel was already present,Rose too,and then Mr Hudson,Dice’s dad. 

    “Morning dad” Dice shook hands with his dad and turned to Mr Cadel. 

    “I wonder why you’re sitting down” He said and Rose looked at him. 

    “Including you,stop looking at me” Dice snapped. 

    “I haven’t told them the reason why they are here” Mr Hudson said. 

    “Do you even need to? I’m sure his precious daughter told him already” Dice crossed his arms. 

    Mr Cadel Stood up and fell on Dice’s feet immediately. 

    “Please forgive us…just this once,I never knew it was you” He pleaded. 

    Dice chuckled. 

    “And you think I’m here to listen to your apology?” He asked. 

    “Here dad” He gave his phone to Mr Hudson to show him picture from last night,his face. 

    “What the fuck? This was bad” Mr Hudson said and looked at Rose. 

    “It was you who requested for my son’s attack? Do you know what will happen if I make a single call right now? And I get to reveal you to the public….”

    “You can’t do that” Rose immediately said. 

    “Please” She added. 

    Dice laughed out and clapped his hands. 

    “Didn’t know she can apologize” He said. 

    Rose said nothing. 

    “But don’t worry,I have no intention of exposing you. I would have done that the first time,that’s why you should have used your sense to think,but all you could think of was hurting me” Dice shook his head. 

    “That’s not my business…Cadel,you should drop your resignation letter before the end of the day” Mr Hudson stood up. 

    “Noo!!! Sir!!” Mr Cadel rushed to him. 

    “If you touch me…I will destroy your daughter’s career,it will take me just two calls and that’s the end” Mr Hudson said and Rose swallowed. 

    “Boom” Dice winked at her. 

    Mr Hudson walked out of the meeting room. 

    Mr Cadel was shedding tears. 

    “Submit the letter to me,in your former office” Dice smiled. 

    “You should start preparing the money too,I need it to do some shoppings and also a new car,those dudes made me lose interest in the car last night. Make it Fast” Dice added. 

    “Sir….”

    “Don’t come close” Dice raised a finger. 

    He glared at Rose one last time before walking out. 

    “What am I supposed to do Now?! How could you not confirm who he was before making me do it!!” He yelled at Rose. 

    Rose fold her fists angrily. 

    She got up and stormed out of the room. 

    *

    11AM, EVA’S HOUSE*

    Eva was in the kitchen trying to make some fast food for herself,she still haven’t called her maids back,somehow she prefer this quietness,and the fact that they are all from Austin makes things worse. 

    She was just brushing the meat pie she was making with some oil when her phone rang. 

    She walked to the table to check,a smile appeared on her lips when she saw Weston’s name. 

    “Hi West” She said. 

    “You sound happy,did something happened?” Weston asked. 

    “No…” She smiled. 

    “Where are you?” 

    “I’m home,free all day. What about you?” She asked. 

    “I have an interview in about one hour,I just wanted to call you” Weston said and her cheeks turned red. 

    “Oh,I have to go now” Weston hung up immediately. 

    Eva dropped her phone and returned to what she was doing. 

    After brushing the pies with oil,she took a picture of it,planning to post it on a page with a before and after caption. 

    When she finishes taking the picture,she opened the oven and placed it inside. 

    She was just closing it when suddenly someone she heard someone clearing throat behind her. 

    “Oh my gosh!” She gasped and turned to see Weston.

    “West!’ She screamed and touched her chest. 

    “Why are you so scared” Weston shook his head. 

    “I thought you said you have an interview…..”

    “I was already here when I called you,I just wanted to confirm if you’re home” Weston said. 

    “Oh,so no interview?” 

    “There is….in about three hours.” Weston replied. 

    She smiled and moved closer to him. 

    “So what are you doing here?” She asked. 

    “Just wanted to” Weston replied. 

    There was silence,they just stood there staring at each other until Weston broke the silence. 

    “What are you doing?” 

    “Making meat pies” She smiled. 

    Weston dusts out some flour on her hair and she chuckled. 

    “Don’t mind me,I was doing everything all alone so……”

    “I told you,you’re like a baby” Weston muttered. 

    “No I’m not”she snapped. 

    Weston pulled her hair behind her ears. 

    “You look like a baby Doll” he whispered and Eva hit his chest playfully. 

    “Are we going to wait until the pie is done?” Weston asked. 

    “No,it will take about forty to forty five minutes so,let’s go to the….ahh Weston!!” Eva screamed when Weston carried her off her feet. 

    “Sshhh” Weston said as he placed her on his shoulder. 

    “Hey!! Are you doing this because I’m shorter?! It’s not fair” Eva cried out. 

    Weston laughed out and dropped her on the couch when they got to the living room. 

    “Are you seriously crying right now?” He asked. 

    “I’m scared of height” Eva muttered. 

    “Am I that tall?” Weston asked and bent in front of her. 

    “Stop,don’t look at me” She looked away. 

    Weston smiled and ruffled her hair. 

    “Sorry” 

    Eva rolled her eyes. 

    Weston’s phone rang and he took it out. 

    “Gemini” He called. 

    “Weston where are you? I can’t find you at home” Gemini said. 

    “What’s wrong?” 

    “You need to come to the agency right now” Gemini said. 

    “But why?”

    “The interview time…I made a mistake,I’m sorry. It’s starting in less than one hour,I’m sorry Weston” Gemini said. 

    “Fine…I will be there” Weston muttered and hung up. 

    “Are you okay?” Eva asked. 

    “Yeah,I have to leave” He got up. 

    “Oh…so soon” Eva said. 

    “I will see you again later” He roughed hair hair. 

    “C’mon West,stop” Eva groaned and arranged her hair again. 

    “Bye” Weston smiled and went out. 

    *

    LAMIAC MEDIAS* 

    Weston and Rose arrived in the same van,they were both dressed in beautiful outfits,looking so good as they sat down next to each other. 

    The van stopped but before they could get down,Director F came to them. 

    “You both are good right?” She asked. 

    “Sure” Rose muttered. 

    “I know they are going to ask a lot of creepy and hard questions in there,but if they ever ask you guys if you are in a relationship,don’t say a word about it. You can just laugh and say something else,we have to make them curious okay? You know the strategies” Flora said. 

    Rose nodded.

    “No problem” Weston muttered as well. 

    “Good,you two are good now” Flora smiled. 

    Weston and Rose stepped down from the van together and the bodyguards started taking them in,their managers running behind them as well. 

    *Minutes Later* 

    The interview already started,both introduced themselves first and all that. 

    Rose and Weston sitting beside each other. 

    “I honestly still can’t believe you’re twenty Weston,you look really handsome and hot” The interviewer said. 

    “Thanks” Weston muttered. 

    “You’re welcome” She chuckled. 

    *Weston!!!!!*

    The fan guests available at the background screamed out and he waved at them. 

    *I love you West!!!* A fan screamed her lung out. 

    “I love you too” Weston said and the screams trippled at once. 

    “So moving on…I’ve got tones of questions with me here,which I’ve picked randomly from the most asked questions from your fans and the general public,is that okay by you?” She asked. 

    “Yeah”

    “Of course” 

    Weston and Rose answered at once. 

    “The first question I have here,everyone’s curious to know. Are you guys planning to work together on a music anytime soon?” The interviewer asked. 

    “We are working on that already” Rose replied. 

    “Awwwn,that’s so cool. Can you hear that everyone? Our favorites are gonna be blessing us with their sweet voices,I really can’t wait” She said. 

    *Claps*

    *I can’t wait!!!*

    *I would so much love it*

    *Rose never disappoints,but with Weston is on another level,please!!*

    Rose nodded with a smile,Weston said nothing. 

    “The next question here with me is like the most asked question right now,I mean,even I as the interviewer I am curious and dying to know” 

    “There has been a lot of pictures of you online,trending videos as well,there was even one clip of you two kissing,so…I’m going to ask if you don’t mind. Are you two in a romantic relationship? You two look so good together and I just want to know if my guess is right” She grinned. 

    Rose chuckled and took her lips in. 

    “Come on,say something at least. I can see someone blushing tho” The interview giggles. 

    *Oooohhhhhh!!!*

    *Red cheeks!!*

    *Awwwwwnnn* 

    “No we are not” Weston said bluntly and immediately everyone became silent. 

    Rose blinked and looked at him. 

    “You’re not dating?” The interviewer asked again. 

    “That’s right,we are not dating. It’s just rumors here and there” Weston said. 

    “What about the kissing clip?” 

    “I will rather not say anything about that,but we are not dating…for real” Weston answered. 

    “I have a crush on someone though” Weston added.

    ‼#UNEDITED_EXPECT_SOME_ERRORS

    Dice got home and entered the living room,Bonnie was there watching a series on netflix,she immediately turned with smiley face. 

    “You’re back…….” Her smile disappeared when she saw his face. 

    “What happened?!” She asked. 

    “Nothing,don’t worry about it” Dice muttered and dropped the fruit on the couch for her before going upstairs. 

    Bonnie got down from the couch and wore her flip flops,she ran after Dice and entered his room with him. 

    “What happened to your face? Were you attacked?” She asked. 

    “I just…it was an accident” Dice mumbled. 

    “Liar” Bonnie scoffed and closed the door before walking close. 

    “Tell me what happened”she said seriously. 

    Dice sat down on the bed. 

    “I got hit,but don’t worry its….”

    Bonnie pushed his head and his eyes widened. 

    “Hey,you don’t treat your elders like that” He said. 

    “An elder who can’t fight isn’t included” Bonnie scoffed. 

    “What?” Dice laughed. 

    “I will be back” She said and left the room. 

    Dice touched the side of his mouth and lip. 

    “Fuck those bastards,it hurts” He groaned. 

    The door opened and Bonnie came in again with first aid box. 

    “What are you doing with that?” Dice asked. 

    “You are injured because you went to buy me the fruits,I should have followed you” She said. 

    “Thank God you didn’t” Dice immediately said. 

    Bonnie ignored him and started doing her thing on his wound,soon she was done. 

    “Sorry” She muttered and touched his swollen lip. 

    Dice chuckled. 

    “You’re becoming nice these days,am I safe?” He asked. 

    Bonnie glared at him and pressed the swollen lip. 

    “Ouch!!!” Dice screamed. 

    “Learn how to keep quiet sometimes,maybe that’s why you got beaten up” She said. 

    “Wait,you think I can’t fight? It happened so suddenly,come on” Dice groaned and rubbed his lip. 

    Bonnie rolled her eyes and brought out an ice bag,she shoved his hand off his face and started pressing the ice on the swollen parts. 

    “Thank you” Dice muttered and Bonnie looked at him,their eyes met. 

    “It’s nothing” She mumbled and continue doing it. 

    “Where’s Wes?” Dice asked. 

    “Studio,I think he’s quite busy” Bonnie replied and Dice nodded. 

    There was silence after that. 

    Dice was smiling while watching Bonnie being serious. 

    “Stop smiling” Bonnie said slowly. 

    “Okay ma’am” Dice cleared his throat. 

    “Stop staring at me” she said again. 

    “Why??” 

    Bonnie sighed and dropped the ice.

    “All done,it won’t be as swollen tomorrow” She said. 

    “Oh no,I want it to remain swollen” Dice said and Bonnie frowned. 

    “Why?”

    “It’s an evidence” Dice said and took a picture of his face. 

    “So…how’s your tummy pain? Gone?” He asked. 

    “Obviously,what fruits did you get me?” Bonnie asked. 

    “Apples,Grapes,and….berries” Dice mentioned. 

    “How did you know my favorites?” Bonnie flashed him a smile. 

    “I just guessed” Dice replied. 

    “You’re the best,thanks,bye” She waved and ran out of the room.

    Dice groaned and fell on the bed. 

    *

    Inside the studio room,Weston was sitting down there with a pen in his hand,staring at the little lyric memo he just wrote down for no reason because he was bored. 

    He dropped the pen and pulled his hair strands from his face,thinking of what to do next. 

    Then he just started playing the piano randomly,within thirty minutes he got the perfect slow sound he want. 

    He smiled and brought out his phone,he placed it somewhere to video himself. 

    Sitting down back,he began playing the piano again and started singing. 

           🎹🎹

    From the moment I met you, I knew you were the one

    Your smile lit up the room, and my heart was won

    I saw the beauty in your soul, and I was drawn to you

    Like a magnet, my heart beats for you, forever true. 

             🎹🎹

    In your eyes, my heart finds its home

    With you, I am never alone…..

    He paused and stopped the video,he took his pen and note again,just singing that part alone gave him more inspirations for more and he wrote every words down before picking up his phone again. 

    He sent the part he recorded to Eva,she replied five minutes later.

    Eva: I love it!!! 

    She called him instantly and he answered the call. 

    “A new song?” She asked. 

    “No,just something I wrote some minutes ago” Weston replied. 

    “No no,you must get that shit recorded,I mean it’s so good!” Eva said loudly. 

    Weston chuckled. 

    “Was thinking about that,but I told you my new song will be dropping in few days….” 

    “No buts,I don’t think your fans would Care if you release songs every single day” Eva snapped. 

    “Okay” Weston chuckled. 

    “I will continue playing this one until you drop it,thanks for sending it to me” Eva said. 

    “Are you back home?” Weston asked. 

    “Yes,I just got home. I’m going to take a very cold bath and sleep” Eva replied. 

    “Goodnight West” She added. 

    “Bye” Weston replied and she hung up. 

    Weston groaned and placed his head on the piano.  

    He raised his head again and decided to take few selfies and post on his Instagram,he should be the only celebrity right now who have never posted his pictures on his page,aside when he announced his debut song. 

    By now he has 120 million followers,making him one of the most followed celebrities and artist. 

    Rose: 353 Million Followers

    Eva:  280 Million Followers. 

    Eva suddenly started gaining more followers within few months more than any artists,and besides her engagements are even crazier than Rose’s own even though Rose got more followers. 

    Rose always get the average of Four to five million love reactions on her posts,While Eva’s least reactions is five million…she get more than seven million sometimes and even ten million with crazy high comments. 

    Jerry: 220 million followers

    Brandon: 180 million followers. 

    Riri: 150 million followers

    Maria: 147 million followers

    Khloe: 120 million followers

    Angela: 119 million followers. 

    Weston took just three selfish and as Weston,they all look perfect,he posted them like that and left the page. 

    Weston got up and walked out of the studio room,he entered his room,had his bath and fell asleep right away. 

    *

    NEXT MORNING* 

    Weston was yawning as he climbed down the stairs one step after another,his eyes are half close and his fluffy hair scattered all over his head and face,even his morning face looks perfect and handsome. 

    He got downstairs and entered the kitchen,he opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water then walked out again. 

    “Morning dude” He greeted Dice and sat down on the couch. 

    “Guy,I can’t believe you’re just waking up” Dice chuckled. 

    “I’m just tired,I don’t know Why. Might skip school today” Weston muttered weakly. 

    “I’m saying you caused some crazy traffic on Instagram and you’re here” Dice said. 

    “Traffic? What’s that?” Weston asked. 

    “Are you serious right now?” Dice laughed and gave him his phone. 

    Revealing Weston’s post of last night. 

    “What’s wrong with it?” Weston looked at him confusedly. 

    “Are you kidding?! Who the heck gets more than 7million likes in less than twelve hours after posting?!” Dice snapped. 

    That was when Weston saw what he was talking about,he clicked on the comment section. 

    “Bro don’t check the comments,they are wild. I’m afraid those people might kidnap you and eat you up” Dice said while laughing. 

    “Stop it” Weston chuckled and started scrolling through the comments. 

    💞 He’s hot!!! 🤧

    💞 His body oh my gosh!!

    💞 Weston!!!

    💞 Okay,just kill me

    💞 That exposed chest,,,I want to touch him!!

    Weston blinked and left the comments to check the pictures he posted,he didn’t even realized his shirt first four buttons weren’t done. 

    “What the fuck,that wasn’t intentional!” He screamed. 

    Dice laughed out till he fell off from the couch. 

    “I didn’t know,I was sleepy” Weston said. 

    “You fed their eyes,good boy gone bad” Dice said. 

    Weston rolled his eyes and gave him back his phone. 

    “You’re all dressed up where are you going? And what about Bonnie?”

    “Bonnie left for school already and also,I will be leaving the house soon” Dice answered. 

    “Where to?” 

    “I’m meeting with dad today,got some important works to do” Dice said. 

    Weston nodded. 

    “I will be home all day” He muttered. 

    “What about food? You talked about getting maids” Dice said. 

    “Yeah,Gemini told me it’s possible they might start working today,I told her two is enough” Weston said. 

    “Cool…oh..I need to go,see you later” Dice roughed his hair. 

    “Stop” Weston groaned. 

    Dice smiled and went out. 

    *

    THE HUDSONS’ GROUP OF COMPANY* 

    Dice’s car stopped and immediately the door was opened for him,he stepped down. 

    “Morning boss!” 

    “Good morning boss”

    The guards continue greeting,he smiled brightly and waved at them before going inside. 

    The employees who saw him first screamed out,they all bowed to greet him. 

    “Morning,morning” Dice smiled at them as he walked. 

    After few minutes,he finally got into the conference room where his dad told him they are waiting. 

    He opened the door and entered. 

    Mr Cadel was already present,Rose too,and then Mr Hudson,Dice’s dad. 

    “Morning dad” Dice shook hands with his dad and turned to Mr Cadel. 

    “I wonder why you’re sitting down” He said and Rose looked at him. 

    “Including you,stop looking at me” Dice snapped. 

    “I haven’t told them the reason why they are here” Mr Hudson said. 

    “Do you even need to? I’m sure his precious daughter told him already” Dice crossed his arms. 

    Mr Cadel Stood up and fell on Dice’s feet immediately. 

    “Please forgive us…just this once,I never knew it was you” He pleaded. 

    Dice chuckled. 

    “And you think I’m here to listen to your apology?” He asked. 

    “Here dad” He gave his phone to Mr Hudson to show him picture from last night,his face. 

    “What the fuck? This was bad” Mr Hudson said and looked at Rose. 

    “It was you who requested for my son’s attack? Do you know what will happen if I make a single call right now? And I get to reveal you to the public….”

    “You can’t do that” Rose immediately said. 

    “Please” She added. 

    Dice laughed out and clapped his hands. 

    “Didn’t know she can apologize” He said. 

    Rose said nothing. 

    “But don’t worry,I have no intention of exposing you. I would have done that the first time,that’s why you should have used your sense to think,but all you could think of was hurting me” Dice shook his head. 

    “That’s not my business…Cadel,you should drop your resignation letter before the end of the day” Mr Hudson stood up. 

    “Noo!!! Sir!!” Mr Cadel rushed to him. 

    “If you touch me…I will destroy your daughter’s career,it will take me just two calls and that’s the end” Mr Hudson said and Rose swallowed. 

    “Boom” Dice winked at her. 

    Mr Hudson walked out of the meeting room. 

    Mr Cadel was shedding tears. 

    “Submit the letter to me,in your former office” Dice smiled. 

    “You should start preparing the money too,I need it to do some shoppings and also a new car,those dudes made me lose interest in the car last night. Make it Fast” Dice added. 

    “Sir….”

    “Don’t come close” Dice raised a finger. 

    He glared at Rose one last time before walking out. 

    “What am I supposed to do Now?! How could you not confirm who he was before making me do it!!” He yelled at Rose. 

    Rose fold her fists angrily. 

    She got up and stormed out of the room. 

    *

    11AM, EVA’S HOUSE*

    Eva was in the kitchen trying to make some fast food for herself,she still haven’t called her maids back,somehow she prefer this quietness,and the fact that they are all from Austin makes things worse. 

    She was just brushing the meat pie she was making with some oil when her phone rang. 

    She walked to the table to check,a smile appeared on her lips when she saw Weston’s name. 

    “Hi West” She said. 

    “You sound happy,did something happened?” Weston asked. 

    “No…” She smiled. 

    “Where are you?” 

    “I’m home,free all day. What about you?” She asked. 

    “I have an interview in about one hour,I just wanted to call you” Weston said and her cheeks turned red. 

    “Oh,I have to go now” Weston hung up immediately. 

    Eva dropped her phone and returned to what she was doing. 

    After brushing the pies with oil,she took a picture of it,planning to post it on a page with a before and after caption. 

    When she finishes taking the picture,she opened the oven and placed it inside. 

    She was just closing it when suddenly someone she heard someone clearing throat behind her. 

    “Oh my gosh!” She gasped and turned to see Weston.

    “West!’ She screamed and touched her chest. 

    “Why are you so scared” Weston shook his head. 

    “I thought you said you have an interview…..”

    “I was already here when I called you,I just wanted to confirm if you’re home” Weston said. 

    “Oh,so no interview?” 

    “There is….in about three hours.” Weston replied. 

    She smiled and moved closer to him. 

    “So what are you doing here?” She asked. 

    “Just wanted to” Weston replied. 

    There was silence,they just stood there staring at each other until Weston broke the silence. 

    “What are you doing?” 

    “Making meat pies” She smiled. 

    Weston dusts out some flour on her hair and she chuckled. 

    “Don’t mind me,I was doing everything all alone so……”

    “I told you,you’re like a baby” Weston muttered. 

    “No I’m not”she snapped. 

    Weston pulled her hair behind her ears. 

    “You look like a baby Doll” he whispered and Eva hit his chest playfully. 

    “Are we going to wait until the pie is done?” Weston asked. 

    “No,it will take about forty to forty five minutes so,let’s go to the….ahh Weston!!” Eva screamed when Weston carried her off her feet. 

    “Sshhh” Weston said as he placed her on his shoulder. 

    “Hey!! Are you doing this because I’m shorter?! It’s not fair” Eva cried out. 

    Weston laughed out and dropped her on the couch when they got to the living room. 

    “Are you seriously crying right now?” He asked. 

    “I’m scared of height” Eva muttered. 

    “Am I that tall?” Weston asked and bent in front of her. 

    “Stop,don’t look at me” She looked away. 

    Weston smiled and ruffled her hair. 

    “Sorry” 

    Eva rolled her eyes. 

    Weston’s phone rang and he took it out. 

    “Gemini” He called. 

    “Weston where are you? I can’t find you at home” Gemini said. 

    “What’s wrong?” 

    “You need to come to the agency right now” Gemini said. 

    “But why?”

    “The interview time…I made a mistake,I’m sorry. It’s starting in less than one hour,I’m sorry Weston” Gemini said. 

    “Fine…I will be there” Weston muttered and hung up. 

    “Are you okay?” Eva asked. 

    “Yeah,I have to leave” He got up. 

    “Oh…so soon” Eva said. 

    “I will see you again later” He roughed hair hair. 

    “C’mon West,stop” Eva groaned and arranged her hair again. 

    “Bye” Weston smiled and went out. 

    *

    LAMIAC MEDIAS* 

    Weston and Rose arrived in the same van,they were both dressed in beautiful outfits,looking so good as they sat down next to each other. 

    The van stopped but before they could get down,Director F came to them. 

    “You both are good right?” She asked. 

    “Sure” Rose muttered. 

    “I know they are going to ask a lot of creepy and hard questions in there,but if they ever ask you guys if you are in a relationship,don’t say a word about it. You can just laugh and say something else,we have to make them curious okay? You know the strategies” Flora said. 

    Rose nodded.

    “No problem” Weston muttered as well. 

    “Good,you two are good now” Flora smiled. 

    Weston and Rose stepped down from the van together and the bodyguards started taking them in,their managers running behind them as well. 

    *Minutes Later* 

    The interview already started,both introduced themselves first and all that. 

    Rose and Weston sitting beside each other. 

    “I honestly still can’t believe you’re twenty Weston,you look really handsome and hot” The interviewer said. 

    “Thanks” Weston muttered. 

    “You’re welcome” She chuckled. 

    *Weston!!!!!*

    The fan guests available at the background screamed out and he waved at them. 

    *I love you West!!!* A fan screamed her lung out. 

    “I love you too” Weston said and the screams trippled at once. 

    “So moving on…I’ve got tones of questions with me here,which I’ve picked randomly from the most asked questions from your fans and the general public,is that okay by you?” She asked. 

    “Yeah”

    “Of course” 

    Weston and Rose answered at once. 

    “The first question I have here,everyone’s curious to know. Are you guys planning to work together on a music anytime soon?” The interviewer asked. 

    “We are working on that already” Rose replied.

    “Kiss me” She mumbled. 
    King Zayne raised his brows. 
    “On….my lips” She added,softly. 
    Zayne stared at her for some seconds before chuckling and moving back. 
    “Is that all you can think about right now that I am hurt?” He asked and the smile disappeared from his lips.
    “I’m sorry” Charlotte muttered. 
    King Zayne pulled his shirt down and turned toward the door. 
    “Let me help with the treatment!” Charlotte ran after him. 
    “No need,I can do it alone….”
    “I’m your queen! Let me do it at least,please” Charlotte said and he faced her again. 
    “Is this supposed to come last or first?” He asked. 
    “I’m sorry,I got carried away…that’s why” Queen Charlotte replied. 
    In the end,he accepted and they both left for his chamber. 
    *
    “His majesty and the queen are on their way to his Majesty’s chamber your highness” Queen Vynessa’s maids came to report to her where she was. 
    “How chamber? Right now?” Queen Vanessa asked. 
    “Yes your highness” 
    “Is things getting better finally?” Queen Vynessa muttered and let out a sigh of relief. 
    “What’s the good news? You look happy” Samara entered. 
    The maids immediately bowed and walked away. 
    “The king is finally getting soft to his queen” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “That’s faster than I imagined” Samara scoffed. 
    “That’s mean” Queen Vynessa said,that was when she noticed her outfit. 
    “Are you going out or you’re just coming?” She asked.
    “There’s a party,I won’t take long,just two hours and I am back” Samara said. 
    Queen Vynessa checked the time and it’s exactly eight. 
    “I will be expecting you by ten,once it passes,then you can face the king by yourself” She said. 
    “You can’t tell brother I went to a party please!” Samara immediately said. 
    “It depends,if you keep to time then no problem at all” Queen Vynessa said. 
    “Love you” Samara smiled and walked away. 
    * 
    Hunter entered the library after the rest of the guards followed King Zayne and queen Charlotte. 
    Earlier,he heard the queen scream and he was about to enter when he heard the king telling her to keep it down. 
    But as the smart one,he was so curious to figure out what might be wrong. 
    He put on the light and started looking around until suddenly she saw blood on the floor,his eyes widened and bent down,he touched the blood with his finger. 
    “His majesty got hurt?” He asked no one in particular. 
    He cleaned up the blood and left the library at once,trying to guess how he got hurt to the extent of dripping blood and he still doesn’t want to let anyone find out. 
    He was walking toward another building in the palace when suddenly he saw Thorin coming,he immediately hid behind a pillar and watched him enter into the car and drove out. 
    Hunter looked around and when he saw nobody coming,he entered into Thorin’s quarters. 
    As much as he wanted to ignore,Thorin was the only one who entered the king’s chamber today. 
    He found his way into Thorin’s room without getting caught,it didn’t take him two minutes before he found the bloody knife in the bathroom sink and he haven’t washed the blood off yet. 
    “Bastard” Hunter mumbled angrily and clenched his fist. 
    He got something to pick the knife and then left the room. 
    *
    THE KING’S CHAMBER* 
    Charlotte just finished treating the wound and now applying some oil for fast healing. 
    She was expecting him to wince at least but no words came out of his mouth ever since she started,she finished applying the oil and then used the plaster. 
    “All done” She muttered. 
    “Thanks” King Zayne replied. 
    Queen Charlotte touched the plaster again without raising her head,her eyes moved to the other part of his chest,he was shirtless actually. 
    “I’m sure you’re done” King Zayne muttered when she started touching his chest. 
    “Oh….I’m sorry” She shifted back. 
    He got up and left her in the living room for the bedroom,Charlotte bit her lips. 
    “Your majesty, a maid Is here” She heard a guard from outside. 
    ‘Should I answer?’ She thought and sighed. 
    “Come in” she spoke up. 
    The door opened and soon the maid came into the living room,she bowed and dropped a tray on the table.
    “It’s desert for his majesty,I’m going to taste….”
    “No its fine,I will do it” Queen Charlotte said. 
    The maid bowed and went out. 
    “How many times do I have to tell you to stop saying you will taste my food?” King Zayne came out. 
    Charlotte looked up,he was now wearing his robe. 
    “My life is important and yours is not?” He asked further. 
    “I just…..”
    “I already told you…don’t do too much” King Zayne said. 
    “Then tell me what to do exactly,I don’t even think I’m doing too much,I just don’t want us to act like strangers anymore your majesty” Queen Charlotte said. 
    King Zayne kept quiet and sat down. 
    He picked up the fork and cut a little piece from the vanilla/chocolate cake,his favorite. 
    He ate it and Charlotte watched him. 
    “Are you eating or you just want to watch me?” He looked at her. 
    She smiled and wanted to eat but there’s just one fork. 
    “Here,you can have it” King Zayne dropped the fork for her. 
    “Thanks” She said took it. 
    “You can leave when you’re done,I will be in my room” The king said and left the living room.
    Queen Charlotte rolled her eyes and dropped the fork,she lost her appetite right away. 
    “Is he still avoiding me?” She sighed. 
    After a while of waiting and he didn’t show up again,she left the chamber. 
    *
    RED AND BLUE CLUBHOUSE* 
    The whole club was loud and filled with people,the light are mixtures of red and blue,the dance floor was hot and full,ass shaking,twerkings and rocking. 
    Some guys are just sitting by their tables while girls pleasure them,the air smells like weed and hard drugs. 
    Among the people sitting and minding their business are Samara and her friends,Natalie and Carolina are drinking and also dancing. 
    When they couldn’t hold their dance any longer,they joined the people on the dance floor. 
    Meanwhile there’s Samara who just sat down there,with her dark shade and big heavy frown on her face,even though she’s the hottest babe in the club at the moment,none of the boys dare make an advance toward her,not even her bodyguards are only few steps away,all looking hefty and mean in their all blacks. 
    Samara wasn’t helping matter either,her hard face is enough to drive anyone away from getting close. She was only nodding her head slowly to the music and sipping from her champagne. 
    She raised her hand for more when she noticed she was running out,soon a bartender came over,and the bartender turns out to be nobody else but Daniel. 
    He dropped the champagne on the table and their eyes met. 
    Samara chuckled dryly and removed her shade. 
    “Who wears shade in an almost dark clubhouse?” Daniel asked. 
    “Not your business” Samara glared at him. 
    “Here’s your champagne good luck” Daniel said. 
    “So you work here” Samara said. 
    “Obviously,reason why I can’t become your slaveboy,I may be poor but I have some dignity” Daniel said. 
    Samara chuckled. 
    “How much do they pay you weekly!” She asked. 
    “Monthly” Daniel corrected. 
    “Oh…how much?” Samara asked. 
    “Ten thousand” Daniel replied. 
    “I will pay you fifty” Samara said and Daniel’s eyes widened. 
    “For what?” He asked. 
    “Since you hate the word slaveboy,let’s say errand boy,what do you think?” She asked. 
    “Oh wow,so nice of you” Daniel grinned. 
    “See? So when will you start?” She asked. 
    “I’m sorry but I will rather be paid two thousand yearly than to become your errand boy” Daniel said. 
    “What?” Samara’s eyes widened. 
    “I can see you’re not used to being turned down,but has anyone ever told you how rude and spoilt you are? Because I need money doesn’t mean I will stoop so low to help you carry your bags and follow whatever you say,I’m poor not wretched and homeless. I don’t work here alone okay? If anyone’s going to help me out,definitely I wouldn’t want it to come from you,you might just wake up one day and tell me you wash your underwears or even lick your ass,I’m sorry but I am not the type,look for someone else,with this few points of mine,I hope I was able to clear your mind off whatever you’re thinking,have a nice night,your highness” He bowed and walked away,leaving Samara speechless. 
    She swallowed and bite her nail. 
    She carried her bag and stormed out of the club,the guards ran after her. 
    Daniel saw that and his eyes followed her,but then looked away. 
    “Are uou close with her?” Another bartender asked and Daniel looked at him.
    “I mean,she’s fucking sexy with a nice ass……” He stopped when he noticed the way Daniel was glaring at him. 
    “Sorry man” The bartender said. 
    Daniel rolled his eyes and left his side. 
    *
    A CONVENIENCES STORE* 
    Rocky was pushing the cart while Starr picked what they are buying,he was picking a lot and Rock just followed him. 
    “Noodles,more noodles,a lot of noodles….” Starr kept saying as he dropped the noodles in the cart. 
    “Are we hosting a noodle party?” Rocky asked. 
    “You will be cooking them for me,since you’re so good in cooking” Starr faced him. 
    “Oh I see” Rocky chuckled. 
    “Chase and Gray want some strawberry milk” He said. 
    “Yeah,right here” Starr said and packed a lot. 
    “What about you?” He asked. 
    “Whatever you’re drinking” Rocky replied. 
    “Banana milk” Starr said and Rocky nodded. 
    Starr looked around and his eyes landed on where the banana milks are,he walked closer and raised his hand to pick them, he stopped and moved back. 
    “Rocky,can you use long hand to pick them?” He asked and Rocky chuckled. 
    “What do you mean by my long hands,just ask for help” He said. 
    “As if” Starr scoffed and rolled his eyes. 
    Rocky got them into the cart and they continue. 
    The shopping is just for their junks and snacks. 
    “Can we get pizza burgers on our way home?” Starr asked Rocky after they were helped with their stuffs into the car. 
    “Why want burger when you have me?” Rocky asked. 
    “Stop” Starr glared and Rocky laughed. 
    “I told you how cute you always look whenever you glare right?” He asked. 
    Starr ignored him and entered the car,Rocky joined him and started the car. 
    “Burger and what?” He asked. 
    “I’m going to call Grey if they also want anything” Starr said and dialed his number. 
    “They want pizza and chicken” Starr said after he hung up the call. 
    “Okay” Rocky said. 
    *
    ROYAL R’S MANSION* 
    They got home only find it empty,Grey and Chase aren’t home. 
    “They didn’t say they were going out” Starr said. 
    “Oh,I got a text” Rocky said and checked. 
    “They went to get some wine” Rocky said. 
    “Oh,but can’t that wait? It’s not like we are celebrating anything” Starr said. 
    “There’s going to be a party here tomorrow,all night” Rocky said and Starr’s eyes widened. 
    “How come I’m just finding out?” He asked. 
    “Because they don’t want you to say NO” Rocky winked and started going upstairs. 
    “What party is going to last all night? Who did you invite?!” Starr snapped and followed him. 
    “Alot” Rocky suddenly faced him and mistakenly bumped into him,almost making him fall. 
    Rocky grabbed his hand and pulled him to himself,Starr’s hands wrapped around him in the process,hugging him tight. 
    “Don’t worry,I wouldn’t let you fall,I gat you” Rocky muttered. 
    Starr blinked and immediately tried to move away from him. 
    “Just one more minute” Rocky muttered and keep on hugging him. 
    “Hey,what do you think you’re doing?” Starr asked. 
    “Hugging you” Rocky replied. 
    Starr said nothing and stayed still till Rocky let him go. 
    “You’re weird” He muttered and went into his room. 
    “I know,I don’t understand either. I’m probably going crazy” Rocky said and sighed out. 
    *
    NEXT MORNING, GOLDEN PALACE*
    Samara was still fast asleep in her bed, snuggled under the cozy blankets. The maids had been trying their best to wake her up, but she just wouldn’t budge. They gently shook her shoulders, whispered in her ear, and even opened the curtains to let sunlight flood the room. Still, Samara slept on, oblivious to the commotion around her.
    Just as the maids were about to give up, Queen Vynessa entered the room,the maids immediately went out. 
    “Samara?!” Queen Vynessa called loudly. 
    “It’s time to get up and ready for school don’t tell me you’ve started skipping classes” 
    Samara groggily opened her eyes, rubbing them with her fists. She looked disheveled, with tangled hair that resembled a bird’s nest. Her locks were knotted and rough, sticking out in every direction like a wild tangle of brown wires.
    With a gentle but firm hand, Queen Vynessa helped Samara sit up and swing her legs over the side of the bed. Samara’s movements were weak and sluggish, like a puppet on strings. She stumbled out of bed and staggered towards the bathroom, her legs wobbly beneath her.
    “What is wrong with her?” Queen Vynessa wondered. 
    As Samara entered the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Her hair looked like a messy haystack, with strands sticking out every which way. She tried to run her fingers through the tangles, but they got stuck halfway through. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom, which wasn’t far from the truth.
    Despite her rough appearance, Samara’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, a sign that she was slowly coming back to life. With a bit of prodding, she began to wash her face and brush her teeth, slowly transforming from a sleepy mess to a bright-eyed student ready to take on the day.
    “Daniel” She mumbled and exhaled loudly. 
    Thinking of the best thing to do with him but nothing is coming at all,nothing is coming to her head. 
    She took her bathe and left the bathroom,the queen was already gone. 
    Samara entered her dressing room to find her outfit for the day.
    After she was ready,she left her suite and walked straight to the king’s chamber. 
    *
    “Your majesty” Hunter entered just when the king finished dressing up,he insisted on dressing alone again this morning and the servants are getting worried already,wondering if the king is angry with them. 
    But only Hunter knew what was going on. 
    “Princess Samara requests to see you” Hunter said. 
    “Let her in” King Zayne said. 
    Hunter bowed and went out and soon Samara entered. 
    “Your majesty” She bowed. 
    Before the king could respond,she already ran to hug him tightly. 
    King Zayne bit his lips to suppress his wince. 
    “I’ve missed you” She pouted. 
    The king broke the hug and Squeezed her cheeks. 
    “I missed you too” He said. 
    “Is something wrong?” King Zayne asked. 
    “No,I’m fine. I am actually on my way to school,so I came to say hi before leaving” Samara replied. 
    “Don’t be late and just leave” King Zayne said. 
    “I’m going to see you when I’m back from school today,we gat to talk” Samara kissed his cheeks and walked out. 
    Hunter came in after that. 
    “Is Charlotte going to school today?” King Zayne asked. 
    “Oh,I have no idea your majesty,I can ask if you want….”
    “No need,just asking” The king immediately said. 
    *
    “Are you sure my dress is not too short?” Queen Charlotte asked for the umpteenth time since they left her suite. 
    “It’s not too short your highness” Lydia and Amaya said. 
    Charlotte checked her dress again,it’s a short gown which stops right on her knees,she wore ankleboots to go with it and she was looking so hot,her hair down. 
    “You two can go back from here” Queen Charlotte said as they approached the car she will be taking. 
    Lydia and Amaya bowed and walked away. 
    Charlotte was about moving when someone blocked her way,she stared at the legs first and then raised her face up,only to find Thorin. 
    “Good morning prince” Charlotte said. 
    “You’re going to school?” Thorin asked and she nodded. 
    “I can take you though,I’m going through that way” He added. 
    “Oh…you don’t have to bother” Charlotte smiled. 
    “Well I want to” Thorin said. 
    Charlotte raised her brows.
    “Thanks for the concern but I’m fine” She said. 
    “I insist tho” Thorin said and helped her with her bag. 
    Charlotte almost followed him. 
    “Where do you think you’re going?” A voice suddenly asked from the back. 
    “Good morning your majesty” The guards all bowed at once. 
    Charlotte turned and her eyes met with the king’s own,Thorin also turned. 
    “Where are you going?” King Zayne asked her again. 
    Charlotte said nothing and took her bag back from Thorin. 
    “I’m taking her to school?” Thorin replied and Zayne chuckled. 
    “Try it again and I will make you regret it” he glared at Thorin and faced Charlotte who immediately blinked. 
    “Come with me,right now” The king said and started walking,Queen Charlotte followed and the guards. 
    “Without the guards” King Zayne uttered and they all stopped at once,watching the king and queen leave. 
    Zayne entered into his office and faced her. 
    “You seriously wanted to follow him?” He asked. 
    “He insisted and…..”
    “Don’t be dumb Charlotte,you should know by now those who are my enemies in here,or are you pretending not to know a thing?” King Zayne snapped. 
    “I’m sorry,your majesty” Queen Charlotte muttered. 
    Zayne said nothing and stared down at her dress. 
    “Your dress……” He started and Charlotte immediately looked at him. 
    ‘Is he going to compliment me? For the first time?’ She thought. 
    “Is too short” He completed it and Charlotte blinked. 
    “Who are you trying to seduce in school?” Zayne asked and her eyes widened. 
    “Nobody,it’s not that short,I just……”
    Zayne looked at her and she stopped. 
    “It looks pretty” He mumbled. 
    “Huh?” Charlotte asked again to be sure. 
    “Your dress looks pretty on you” He repeated and a smile appeared on her lips. 
    “Since I’ve seen it,go take it off and put on something else,,my queen” King Zayne said.

    ★★★★★★★★★

    • YOU WANT THE BODY BACK? YOU WANT YOUR SECRET SAFE? THEN KILL EMORY CARSON.

    The phone fell from Omar’s shaky fingers, landing on the soil then sliding into the pit from there.

    “Who the hell…is this?” He muttered, blood draining from his face.

    “If you’re confident enough show me your damn face!!!” He yelled, standing on his feet.

    His voice echoed in the forest, and he looked around, but only the sound of nocturnal animals could be heard.

    He looked back into the pit where his phone fell, and another drop of snot came out of his nose.

    He wiped with his palm before jumping in the pit to get the phone.

    He climbed out and inserted his fingers into his mouth, biting his nails while scratching his hair hard with the other hand.

    *

    RAVE*

    “Why would you say that?” Rebekah faced Rain immediately Emory left for the washroom.

    “I only said something harmless and I didn’t know the music would go off at that same moment. I didn’t know she’d deny it and I didn’t know Banks would be mad about it too” Rain replied innocently, and Rebekah smirked.

    “Banks? Mad?” She muttered, coming closer.

    “You’d try a lot more if you wanna make him mad” she said to her face, and Rain blinked as Rebekah turned around, following Emory.

    “Are you really part of the friendship?” Sybil asked immediately.

    “Huh?” Rain faced her.

    “I mean… Rebekah doesn’t seem to like you” Sybil replied, taking a sip from her solo cup of rue.

    “We’re cool, she’s just overbearing” Rain smiled.

    “I can’t believe the first guy I took interest in has a thing with my cousin. My bad luck” Sybil sighed, swirling the drink in her cup.

    “You heard when she said there’s nothing between them” Rain replied.

    “Meaning?” Sybil blinked.

    “You can still shoot your shot, girl!” Rain encouraged.

    Sybil smiled after a while.

    “You’re right” she snapped her fingers.

    “Here” Isaac arrived with the drink.

    “Thank you” Rain took the cup from him and clinked it with Sybil’s cup.

    “I like you, cheers!” She said.

    “Cheers!” Rain smiled.

    *

    WASHROOM*

    Emory backed the zinc bowl, one hand on her forehead and the other one on her hips as she rested on it.

    Various thoughts were spiralling through her mind as she stood there, and she didn’t blink till Rebekah came in.

    “Why did you say that?” Rebekah asked, walking to her.

    “Say what?”

    “Say they meant nothing! Are you for real?” Rebekah replied.

    “You’re acting like a mother right now. That’s my roleplay” Emory said.

    “Well I’m switching roles with you tonight” Rebekah replied, and Emory chuckled softly.

    “Don’t change the subject, why did you do it?” Rebekah asked.

    “But it’s true. All the kisses were forceful and aggressive that we ended up biting each other. They were just kisses, no strings attached” Emory replied.

    “But he’s the only guy you don’t get triggered by, yeah?” Rebekah said.

    “And Omar” Emory replied.

    “Don’t talk about that moron here!” Rebekah raised her hand.

    “Fineee… But Levi is… He’s toxic, like concentrated toxicity… Yunno” Emory said, a frown etching on her face.

    “Just give him some time and get used to him, maybe you can unravel the parts of him we weren’t able to unravel” Rebekah said.

    “Meaning?” Emory asked.

    “He’s like a senior brother to everyone of us in the frat club. Everyone is either 21 or 22, but Banks is 25” Rebekah replied.

    “What! He’s three years older than me? But he looks young” Emory gasped.

    “You’ll understand why he’s still in college at this age if you hear his childhood story from him. We treat him with respect not only because he’s our leader, but he’s our bro” Rebekah smiled.

    Emory’s eyes remained wide.

    “You should have just agreed with him to put Rain in her place earlier. Her questions are getting too much” Rebekah said as she pulled Emory out of the room.

    “I noticed that too, she’s… somehow” Emory replied.

    “You should fix things with Banks soon” Rebekah said.

    “Is he mad at me now?” Emory asked.

    “Mad at you? Banks doesn’t get mad, he only refines his strategy. I’m sure he’s planning something” Rebekah replied.

    “Whatever, we should FaceTime Nina and Lizzy before leaving” Emory said.

    “Yas!” Rebekah kissed Emory’s cheek, and they chuckled before entering the main hall.

    *

    OUTSIDE*

    Levi got on his bike after minutes of sashaying around the hall.

    He put on his leather gloves, and the moment he made to wear his helmet, Chadwick walked up to him.

    He stood in front of the bike with a smile Levi detests so much.

    “What’s funny?” Levi smirked deeply.

    “My father says thank you, and… I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life too. Thanks for sparing my life. I came to the Loft yesterday but Hyce denied my entry” Chadwick replied.

    Without uttering a word, Levi wore his helmet, kicking his bike to life.

    “I’ll do anything to prove myself worthy of your time! Anything at all!” Chadwick shouted as he drove off.

    *

    AN HOUR LATER, CARSON’S MANSON*

    The girls returned from the party twenty minutes ago, and while Sybil is sitting in front of the mirror, wiping her makeup… Emory is in bed, her face in her phone.

    She’s busy posting the pictures she snapped with Rebekah on her IG, and immediately she saw Nina’s comment, she laughed out.

    Nina: Sending hate from my house!!!

    Rebekah: Damn, we’re so pretty *several kiss emojis*

    Nina: *Smirking emojis*

    Emory laughed out again, but before she could witness their impending argument, she received a text.

    Immediately she clicked, she sat up in bed.

    It’s the d+ck picture again, and this one came with a message.

    ~ Leave Banks alone!!! F+ck these d+cks on your screen instead.

    “What the f+ck!” She voiced out.

    “What?” Sybil faced her.

    “Oh …. Nothing” Emory replied, slowly deleting the picture.

    “And about the Banks guy… Are you really not interested? Should i seduce him? I seriously want to date him” Sybil said.

    Emory remained silent, remembering the look in his eyes earlier and how he turned back and left without a word.

    Her damn mind went to when he worshipped her skin with his tongue in the dark garage, and she gulped.

    “Emmy?” Sybil’s voice brought her back, and she blinked twice.

    “Huh?”

    “You’ve been quiet for two minutes. Say something” Sybil said.

    “Go on… I’m.. I’m fine” Emory replied, piling the duvet over herself.

    “Yes!” Sybil jumped, leaving the room.

    *

    NEXT MORNING, TERRAVERDE PALACE*

    Rebekah ignored the maids greetings as usual as she descended the stairs, her hair rolled into a twist.

    Her pyjamas knicker is so short that her mid thighs are left out, and the shirt is transparent as usual.

    That was the first thing Conrad noticed when she got to the dinning door 

    He’s already waiting, and he drooled with no self-control till she stopped in front of him.

    “If you continue staring at me like that, i might think you’re starting to fall for me” she said, bringing him back.

    “Let’s go” he quickly composed himself.

    At once, they entered the dinning hall where Elsa and the king are already at.

    Elsa is behaving like a potentially good wife again, serving the king his water despite the present maids.

    Immediately the king saw Rebekah’s pyjamas, he dropped his fork.

    “Go back upstairs right now, and change into a longer dress. Your stepbrother is here what are you thinking!” He chastised.

    “I don’t think stepbrother is the right word to use in this context, considering the fact that we’re in love” Rebekah replied.

    “What!” The jug of water fell from Elsa to the ground and broke up.

    “What bull are you spewing!” The king’s eyes changed to hostile.

    “We’ve been dating, way before you started planning your wedding. Conrad is my boyfriend” Rebekah replied.

    “F+ck yeah, we love each other and you better cancel the damn wedding before the whole of this island hears about our relationship too” Conrad shrugged.

    “What has come over you Conrad! Is this a stunt to ruin this marriage? Huh?” Elsa came closer.

    “Stunt? Watch me” Conrad pulled Rebekah closer suddenly by the waist, leaning in…

    He was about to kiss her when she took in her lips, making his lids flicker.

    “I knew it!” Elsa laughed.

    “Are you both that desperate to see this wedding fall apart? So desperate to the point of staging a drama?” The king said calmly.

    Conrad let go of Rebekah slowly, and she cursed herself inwardly.

    “You both can’t leave the palace grounds today, you’re grounded” the king ordered.

    “What!” Rebekah gasped.

    “Well you’re not my father! Tell that to your daughter!” Conrad spat.

    “Connie!” Elsa gasped.

    “To hell with you!” Conrad fired and walked out of the hall furiously.

    Rebekah rushed after him and met up by the vast living room.

    “Conrad I…

    “Do you hate me that much? Enough to fold your lips for a harmless kiss? F+ck I hate you too but you don’t see me pasting it around! We could have smashed the wedding if that kiss happened, but you had to f+ck up!” He shouted angrily.

    Rebekah became speechless.

    “Yunno what? Ion care if they get married anymore. Have fun carrying their kids, prude!” Conrad spat, walking out of the palace afterwards.

    Rebekah started blinking back her tears, standing there like an idiot.

    *

    LEGACY COLLEGE*

    • If it isn’t the epileptic fashion icon!

    • Hehehe! She’s brave to show up in school

    • But at least she’s pretty.

    • Pretty face, foamy mouth… Bad combo, who’d date her.

    • Who knows when next she’s gonna start wriggling on the ground like a salted worm?

    • Eew!

    Lizzy just had to lock up and act as if she didn’t hear all the comments coming from the students as she walked into the bloc with Nina and Emory by her sides.

    Sybil and Rain are at the back.

    Students made way for her quickly, not wanting their body to touch her, and she almost broke down.

    “Aren’t they being too harsh? I mean… It’s just epilepsy, not like she’s a killer” Sybil said.

    “Don’t mind them” Rain replied, and then the attention of the students moved to another person who just entered the hallway.

    Levi and his friends.

    Levi got a new tattoo on the lower arm of his right hand, and it’s so f+çking s+xy.

    “el zorro es mio”

    It’s a Spanish sentence which means… THE FOX IS MINE.

    Emory’s heart skipped one beat when she saw it, but their eyes never met.

    He’s not even looking her side no matter how loud the students are fawning over his tattoo.

    • That’s one hell of a tattoo!

    • Who’s his tattooist? It’s so beautiful!

    • Now I wanna be a fox!

    • Maybe he likes foxes

    • I can’t stop crushing on this guy! I want him between my legs!

    Rain was smiling as she watched him,  wishing she could lick the tattoo.

    ‘Fox must be his favorite animal’ She thought, her heart beating do wild.

    She’s so in love with this guy.

    “Help, he’s so hot! I love his tattoo!” Sybil gushed loudly.

    “Banks gave them something to talk about again” Nina grinned.

    “He knows what he’s doing” Lizzy replied.

    Emory said nothing as they finally left for class.

    Getting to class, Levi’s tattoo gist continued, killing any talk about Lizzy completely.

    Lizzy felt relieved as she settled with the girls.

    “Rebekah won’t be coming. His Majesty grounded her” Emory broke the news.

    “Bad news! I miss her!” Nina pouted, resting her head on Emory’s shoulder.

    “Why did you follow Emz when you’re not even a student” Rain asked Sybil.

    They’re sitting behind Nina and Emory.

    “I can’t sit at home, duhh… I only have to hide my face when the lecturer comes in” Sybil replied, and Rain smiled.

    Levi and his friends are in the middle…

    “You look mad, did someone piss in your morning coffee?” Hyce asked Conrad with a grin

    “Obviously a girl problem, pity” Levi replied point-blank, his eyes not leaving Emory who’s in front of him.

    “Girl problem… Check… It’s Rebekah” Conrad replied.

    “Beks? What did she do?” Hyce faced him.

    “Not ready to talk about her” Conrad replied, checking his wristwatch.

    “You haven’t told us about the trenchcoat dude Banks! You said it’s a girl then who? Is she in this class right now?” Hyce asked, smiling when he saw Issac coming in.

    “Yeah” Levi replied.

    “Wait…what!” Hyce said, the smile falling from his face.

    Emory turned back slowly, and her eyes met Levi’s.

    She quickly focused back to the front, and an evil smirk appeared on Levi’s face.

    Omar is in class too, but he looks madly confused, his left hand in his hair.

    The right one is holding his pen, and he’s busy scribbling things in his diary.

    Vans and trenchcoat✓Emory’s freezer incident✓North’s body✓ Inhaler✓ Kill Emory ✓Whoever owns the inhaler is the person…

    Chadwick walked past him, knowingly hitting down his diary to mess with him.

    Omar gasped as the diary landed on the ground, and Chadwick picked it up.

    “Give it to me bastard!” Omar snatched it from him.

    Romeo and Juliet stood behind him, ready to fight if there’s a need for it, but Chadwick just smiled.

    “Tuck your tails back into the middle of your legs, I’m not in the mood” he scoffed, taking his seat.

    Romeo and Juliet sat back too, and Omar left the class.

    Chadwick tapped his fingers on his desk…

    He actually saw what’s in the diary.

    *

    12PM*

    The first two classes are over, and students are currently going for lunch before the upcoming classes marathon.

    Emory’s friends are already in the cafeteria, but she excused herself to go use the restroom.

    She needed to pee.

    She did her business and came out to see Levi walking the hall with Conrad.

    She followed behind till Conrad left him, and then only him entered the smoking spot behind the bloc.

    She stayed by the door, watching as he got a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

    He picked one and placed it loosely between his lips.

    Emory gulped, her throat bobbing.

    Why is that so…hot?

    He was about to get a zippo when Sybil came to him through the other door.

    “Hey I’m Sybil! Emory’s cousin. We can be friends if you don’t mind” she said brightly, wanting to touch his new tattoo…

    “I wouldn’t” he said before she could touch.

    “You don’t like touches? But you’re hot, and I …

    “F+ck the hell off” Levi cut her off, going out the other door.

    “He’s so arrogant! F+ck!” Sybil stumped her foot.

    Emory left the door, tucking her hands in her jacket pocket as she started descending the stairs.

    Omar appeared behind her, and he stretched his hand forward, following her closely while trying to push her.

    He kept following, keeping his hands stretched and waiting for it to get to her.

    Emory finally got downstairs, and he folded his fists as she left.

    “I can’t do this!” He said and turned to go back upstairs, but he met Levi standing in front of him already.

    “Banks?” He mumbled.

    Five minutes later, he was already at the gazebo with Levi.

    Levi actually dragged him here, and the moment he let him go, Omar threw a punch at him.

    Levi caught the fist and slammed it on the pillar instead.

    Omar’s knuckle bones cracked, and he cried out with all his mouth open as blood poured out of the knuckles to the ground.

    Levi hit the fist on the wall again, and one of the fingers bent backwards as another bone cracked.

    Omar fell on his knees, tears coming out of his eyes.

    “Bastard!!!! Let me go!!!!!” He cried out, his nose running again, joining his blood on the ground.

    “Not so quick” Levi replied, retrieving scissors from his back pocket.

    Omar’s eyes widened, but before he could process it, Levi already cut off the smallest finger on his right hand 

    “Arhhhhhh!!!!! Banks!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!” He roared in agonizing symphony.

    His finger fell on the ground, and Levi dropped the bloody scissors.

    “Keep trying, and at every attempt you make to kill Emory, I’ll cut off one finger from you, and when you become fingerless… i’ll sever your f+çking tongue” Levi said, stepping out of the gazebo.

    Omar’s mouth couldn’t close as tears poured out of his eyes in handfuls, blood pouring out of his cut finger in the same manner.

    *

    10PM, CARSON’S MANSON~EMORY’S ROOM*

    The house is silent as everyone went to sleep already.

    Emory licked her lips in her sleep, looking so peaceful and restful till she couldn’t feel her freedom anymore.

    Is her hands supposed to be over her head? 

    Why is it like that? And why is her wrists restrained?

    It reminded her of when Levi chained her to the tub at Forte, and her eyes flew open.

    She gasped, and sweat broke in her brows when she saw her freedom really got robbed.

    Her two hands are chained over her head, to the headboard, and the room smells like cinnamon.

    “Levi you realize this is my house right?” She said, not trying to struggle since she’s already aware that it’s useless.

    Levi is standing by her window, staring out the balcony with an apple on his lips.

    He took a bite before looking back at her, and she gulped.

    “What is it this time? Is it dangerous for me to go out again? As you can see I’m sleeping and I’m not going anywhere so untie me” She said softly.

    His eyes were devoid of softness as he began walking slowly to her bed 

    He sat beside her, taking another full bite from the apple.

    His lips became so wetly red, and she didn’t know when she licked her own lips, moving her wrists slightly so the chains clanged.

    He brought his right hand to her ear, rubbing the shell while she pressed herself to the mattress at the tickle.

    She has three piercings on her ear, and he touched everything, looking at her like his property, his own.

    “They meant nothing? I dare you to say that again” he said.

    “Who chains a girl up if not a toxic abnormal man?” She replied, her palms sweaty.

    “I tossed a dare. Tell me the kisses didn’t make your little pu$+y wet and tell me you don’t want more” he replied, dropping the apple.

    “Stop talking dirty!” She moved.

    “Then drop the attitude, or I’ll f+ck it out of you here” he replied, and her eyes widened.

    “Are you…are you gonna rape me?”

    He kept quiet, noticing the fear in her eyes at the mention of RAPE.

    “Don’t… Please… Don’t do it” she muttered.

    His expression fell.

    “Don’t rape me” her eyes went shut, and she felt hotness behind her closed lids as she remembered that night.

    How uncle Fred was slamming his monstrous p+nis inside her without stop and how she was begging him to stop.

    How blood filled the kitchen…her blood…

    “Please… please don’t!” She started crying, struggling to move.

    “What the hell Emory” Levi held her face.

    “Please don’t do it!!!” She cried out again.

    Levi unlocked the chains, holding her in place, but she kept struggling.

    “No don’t…don’t touch me… please please… Please!!!” She shouted, getting more violent.

    She hurt him with her nails and bit his skin countlessly with her teeth, but he kept pulling her despite the fight, trying to get her back.

    “Noah!” He called sharply, and her struggling reduced as tears poured out of her tightly closed eyes.

    “Who am I?” He asked.

    “Uncle…unvly Fred” she stuttered, and blood filled in Levi’s eyes immediately.

    What the… Shit!

    “F+ck” He stood, letting her go.

    He jumped down the balcony, leaving the house and mounting his bike.

    Now it’s starting to come together…

    Why she hates males, why she gets nightmares, why throws up at any sudden contact, why her voice isn’t loud no matter how hard she screams.

    Gawd damnit…

    He should have deducted it, he should have known..

    He should have f+çking known.

    His body was shaking with rage till he got to the casino and stormed in, meeting Master X at the office.

    He’s sitting at his desk expressionlessly.

    “Who’s Fred?” He questioned.

    Master X remained silent, so he pushed the table with his leg.

    The wood went flying across the room, smashing on the wall and sharing it’s splinters around along with the laptops and documents on it.

    “Who the hell is Fred!!!!!” Levi yelled in blind piping rage.

    “He was … My right-hand man when Hazzan was sick that year. He worked for one year in this casino, and he’s Emory’s uncle” Master X finally talked.

    “And?” Levi growled.

    “He raped her when she was eleven, and I’ve been watching over her since then, but when she became a college student three years ago, I felt like you’d do a better job watching over her since you’ll be closer to her, which is why I told you to start protecting her” Master X looked up.

    “Why?” Levi swallowed his breaths.

    “Because her parents lied to her. Fred was never arrested. He escaped, and he might come back anytime for her” Master X replied, and Levi laughed out like a maniac, the sound echoing in the room with a scary thrill.

    He stormed out of the office, his body still shaking as he took heavy steps out.

    Fred will definitely wish he wasn’t born into this world soon.

    Even if he’s the middle of a f+çking jungle, he’d drag him out.

    He’ll make him eat his own flesh and drink his own blood, he’ll make him cry and no water will come out even if he sticks his finger into his eyes.

    He’ll cut off every part of his body and leave them in the open for vultures to feast on, and he’ll kill every single one from his bloodline till there’ll be no one left standing.

    Even if anyone is left standing, he’ll wait till that person procreates, then he’ll kill him and his bloodline too.

    It’ll be unending.

    Unstopped.

    He’ll maim!

    Every muscle in his body were bulging, and every bicep swelling as he made his exit.

    His eyes are a darker shade than they’ve ever been.

    He came to an halt when he got out and saw Emory standing there, beside her car.

    She’s barefoot, still in her pyjamas, and tears are still on her face.

    She must have followed him here.

    “The hell are you doing here?” He questioned, and she sniffled.

    “I… Did I say anything to you in my sleep?” She asked, her breathing unsteady.

    Levi kept looking at her.

    Her barefoot, her shakiness, her tear-streaked face and red puffy eyes.

    “Yeah…i know everything now” he said, and she came closer.

    “I really begged him, I screamed. He didn’t stop. He kept doing it, and I bled so much in the kitchen… He… He said I belonged to him … He hit me with the rolling stick and i almost died. He beat the crap out of me and forcefully took my… My virg… 

    Levi pulled her to him, wrapped his arms on her and hugged her so tight that she couldn’t say the rest of the words, she just continued hiccuping like a baby.

    “I’ll bring you Fred’s head on a platter, little fox. I promise” Levi whispered hoarsely into her ear, and she buried her wet face in his chest, her temperature so f+çking high.

    • YOU WANT THE BODY BACK? YOU WANT YOUR SECRET SAFE? THEN KILL EMORY CARSON.

    The phone fell from Omar’s shaky fingers, landing on the soil then sliding into the pit from there.

    “Who the hell…is this?” He muttered, blood draining from his face.

    “If you’re confident enough show me your damn face!!!” He yelled, standing on his feet.

    His voice echoed in the forest, and he looked around, but only the sound of nocturnal animals could be heard.

    He looked back into the pit where his phone fell, and another drop of snot came out of his nose.

    He wiped with his palm before jumping in the pit to get the phone.

    He climbed out and inserted his fingers into his mouth, biting his nails while scratching his hair hard with the other hand.

    *

    RAVE*

    “Why would you say that?” Rebekah faced Rain immediately Emory left for the washroom.

    “I only said something harmless and I didn’t know the music would go off at that same moment. I didn’t know she’d deny it and I didn’t know Banks would be mad about it too” Rain replied innocently, and Rebekah smirked.

    “Banks? Mad?” She muttered, coming closer.

    “You’d try a lot more if you wanna make him mad” she said to her face, and Rain blinked as Rebekah turned around, following Emory.

    “Are you really part of the friendship?” Sybil asked immediately.

    “Huh?” Rain faced her.

    “I mean… Rebekah doesn’t seem to like you” Sybil replied, taking a sip from her solo cup of rue.

    “We’re cool, she’s just overbearing” Rain smiled.

    “I can’t believe the first guy I took interest in has a thing with my cousin. My bad luck” Sybil sighed, swirling the drink in her cup.

    “You heard when she said there’s nothing between them” Rain replied.

    “Meaning?” Sybil blinked.

    “You can still shoot your shot, girl!” Rain encouraged.

    Sybil smiled after a while.

    “You’re right” she snapped her fingers.

    “Here” Isaac arrived with the drink.

    “Thank you” Rain took the cup from him and clinked it with Sybil’s cup.

    “I like you, cheers!” She said.

    “Cheers!” Rain smiled.

    *

    WASHROOM*

    Emory backed the zinc bowl, one hand on her forehead and the other one on her hips as she rested on it.

    Various thoughts were spiralling through her mind as she stood there, and she didn’t blink till Rebekah came in.

    “Why did you say that?” Rebekah asked, walking to her.

    “Say what?”

    “Say they meant nothing! Are you for real?” Rebekah replied.

    “You’re acting like a mother right now. That’s my roleplay” Emory said.

    “Well I’m switching roles with you tonight” Rebekah replied, and Emory chuckled softly.

    “Don’t change the subject, why did you do it?” Rebekah asked.

    “But it’s true. All the kisses were forceful and aggressive that we ended up biting each other. They were just kisses, no strings attached” Emory replied.

    “But he’s the only guy you don’t get triggered by, yeah?” Rebekah said.

    “And Omar” Emory replied.

    “Don’t talk about that moron here!” Rebekah raised her hand.

    “Fineee… But Levi is… He’s toxic, like concentrated toxicity… Yunno” Emory said, a frown etching on her face.

    “Just give him some time and get used to him, maybe you can unravel the parts of him we weren’t able to unravel” Rebekah said.

    “Meaning?” Emory asked.

    “He’s like a senior brother to everyone of us in the frat club. Everyone is either 21 or 22, but Banks is 25” Rebekah replied.

    “What! He’s three years older than me? But he looks young” Emory gasped.

    “You’ll understand why he’s still in college at this age if you hear his childhood story from him. We treat him with respect not only because he’s our leader, but he’s our bro” Rebekah smiled.

    Emory’s eyes remained wide.

    “You should have just agreed with him to put Rain in her place earlier. Her questions are getting too much” Rebekah said as she pulled Emory out of the room.

    “I noticed that too, she’s… somehow” Emory replied.

    “You should fix things with Banks soon” Rebekah said.

    “Is he mad at me now?” Emory asked.

    “Mad at you? Banks doesn’t get mad, he only refines his strategy. I’m sure he’s planning something” Rebekah replied.

    “Whatever, we should FaceTime Nina and Lizzy before leaving” Emory said.

    “Yas!” Rebekah kissed Emory’s cheek, and they chuckled before entering the main hall.

    *

    OUTSIDE*

    Levi got on his bike after minutes of sashaying around the hall.

    He put on his leather gloves, and the moment he made to wear his helmet, Chadwick walked up to him.

    He stood in front of the bike with a smile Levi detests so much.

    “What’s funny?” Levi smirked deeply.

    “My father says thank you, and… I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life too. Thanks for sparing my life. I came to the Loft yesterday but Hyce denied my entry” Chadwick replied.

    Without uttering a word, Levi wore his helmet, kicking his bike to life.

    “I’ll do anything to prove myself worthy of your time! Anything at all!” Chadwick shouted as he drove off.

    *

    AN HOUR LATER, CARSON’S MANSON*

    The girls returned from the party twenty minutes ago, and while Sybil is sitting in front of the mirror, wiping her makeup… Emory is in bed, her face in her phone.

    She’s busy posting the pictures she snapped with Rebekah on her IG, and immediately she saw Nina’s comment, she laughed out.

    Nina: Sending hate from my house!!!

    Rebekah: Damn, we’re so pretty *several kiss emojis*

    Nina: *Smirking emojis*

    Emory laughed out again, but before she could witness their impending argument, she received a text.

    Immediately she clicked, she sat up in bed.

    It’s the d+ck picture again, and this one came with a message.

    ~ Leave Banks alone!!! F+ck these d+cks on your screen instead.

    “What the f+ck!” She voiced out.

    “What?” Sybil faced her.

    “Oh …. Nothing” Emory replied, slowly deleting the picture.

    “And about the Banks guy… Are you really not interested? Should i seduce him? I seriously want to date him” Sybil said.

    Emory remained silent, remembering the look in his eyes earlier and how he turned back and left without a word.

    Her damn mind went to when he worshipped her skin with his tongue in the dark garage, and she gulped.

    “Emmy?” Sybil’s voice brought her back, and she blinked twice.

    “Huh?”

    “You’ve been quiet for two minutes. Say something” Sybil said.

    “Go on… I’m.. I’m fine” Emory replied, piling the duvet over herself.

    “Yes!” Sybil jumped, leaving the room.

    *

    NEXT MORNING, TERRAVERDE PALACE*

    Rebekah ignored the maids greetings as usual as she descended the stairs, her hair rolled into a twist.

    Her pyjamas knicker is so short that her mid thighs are left out, and the shirt is transparent as usual.

    That was the first thing Conrad noticed when she got to the dinning door 

    He’s already waiting, and he drooled with no self-control till she stopped in front of him.

    “If you continue staring at me like that, i might think you’re starting to fall for me” she said, bringing him back.

    “Let’s go” he quickly composed himself.

    At once, they entered the dinning hall where Elsa and the king are already at.

    Elsa is behaving like a potentially good wife again, serving the king his water despite the present maids.

    Immediately the king saw Rebekah’s pyjamas, he dropped his fork.

    “Go back upstairs right now, and change into a longer dress. Your stepbrother is here what are you thinking!” He chastised.

    “I don’t think stepbrother is the right word to use in this context, considering the fact that we’re in love” Rebekah replied.

    “What!” The jug of water fell from Elsa to the ground and broke up.

    “What bull are you spewing!” The king’s eyes changed to hostile.

    “We’ve been dating, way before you started planning your wedding. Conrad is my boyfriend” Rebekah replied.

    “F+ck yeah, we love each other and you better cancel the damn wedding before the whole of this island hears about our relationship too” Conrad shrugged.

    “What has come over you Conrad! Is this a stunt to ruin this marriage? Huh?” Elsa came closer.

    “Stunt? Watch me” Conrad pulled Rebekah closer suddenly by the waist, leaning in…

    He was about to kiss her when she took in her lips, making his lids flicker.

    “I knew it!” Elsa laughed.

    “Are you both that desperate to see this wedding fall apart? So desperate to the point of staging a drama?” The king said calmly.

    Conrad let go of Rebekah slowly, and she cursed herself inwardly.

    “You both can’t leave the palace grounds today, you’re grounded” the king ordered.

    “What!” Rebekah gasped.

    “Well you’re not my father! Tell that to your daughter!” Conrad spat.

    “Connie!” Elsa gasped.

    “To hell with you!” Conrad fired and walked out of the hall furiously.

    Rebekah rushed after him and met up by the vast living room.

    “Conrad I…

    “Do you hate me that much? Enough to fold your lips for a harmless kiss? F+ck I hate you too but you don’t see me pasting it around! We could have smashed the wedding if that kiss happened, but you had to f+ck up!” He shouted angrily.

    Rebekah became speechless.

    “Yunno what? Ion care if they get married anymore. Have fun carrying their kids, prude!” Conrad spat, walking out of the palace afterwards.

    Rebekah started blinking back her tears, standing there like an idiot.

    *

    LEGACY COLLEGE*

    • If it isn’t the epileptic fashion icon!

    • Hehehe! She’s brave to show up in school

    • But at least she’s pretty.

    • Pretty face, foamy mouth… Bad combo, who’d date her.

    • Who knows when next she’s gonna start wriggling on the ground like a salted worm?

    • Eew!

    Lizzy just had to lock up and act as if she didn’t hear all the comments coming from the students as she walked into the bloc with Nina and Emory by her sides.

    Sybil and Rain are at the back.

    Students made way for her quickly, not wanting their body to touch her, and she almost broke down.

    “Aren’t they being too harsh? I mean… It’s just epilepsy, not like she’s a killer” Sybil said.

    “Don’t mind them” Rain replied, and then the attention of the students moved to another person who just entered the hallway.

    Levi and his friends.

    Levi got a new tattoo on the lower arm of his right hand, and it’s so f+çking s+xy.

    “el zorro es mio”

    It’s a Spanish sentence which means… THE FOX IS MINE.

    Emory’s heart skipped one beat when she saw it, but their eyes never met.

    He’s not even looking her side no matter how loud the students are fawning over his tattoo.

    • That’s one hell of a tattoo!

    • Who’s his tattooist? It’s so beautiful!

    • Now I wanna be a fox!

    • Maybe he likes foxes

    • I can’t stop crushing on this guy! I want him between my legs!

    Rain was smiling as she watched him,  wishing she could lick the tattoo.

    ‘Fox must be his favorite animal’ She thought, her heart beating do wild.

    She’s so in love with this guy.

    “Help, he’s so hot! I love his tattoo!” Sybil gushed loudly.

    “Banks gave them something to talk about again” Nina grinned.

    “He knows what he’s doing” Lizzy replied.

    Emory said nothing as they finally left for class.

    Getting to class, Levi’s tattoo gist continued, killing any talk about Lizzy completely.

    Lizzy felt relieved as she settled with the girls.

    “Rebekah won’t be coming. His Majesty grounded her” Emory broke the news.

    “Bad news! I miss her!” Nina pouted, resting her head on Emory’s shoulder.

    “Why did you follow Emz when you’re not even a student” Rain asked Sybil.

    They’re sitting behind Nina and Emory.

    “I can’t sit at home, duhh… I only have to hide my face when the lecturer comes in” Sybil replied, and Rain smiled.

    Levi and his friends are in the middle…

    “You look mad, did someone piss in your morning coffee?” Hyce asked Conrad with a grin

    “Obviously a girl problem, pity” Levi replied point-blank, his eyes not leaving Emory who’s in front of him.

    “Girl problem… Check… It’s Rebekah” Conrad replied.

    “Beks? What did she do?” Hyce faced him.

    “Not ready to talk about her” Conrad replied, checking his wristwatch.

    “You haven’t told us about the trenchcoat dude Banks! You said it’s a girl then who? Is she in this class right now?” Hyce asked, smiling when he saw Issac coming in.

    “Yeah” Levi replied.

    “Wait…what!” Hyce said, the smile falling from his face.

    Emory turned back slowly, and her eyes met Levi’s.

    She quickly focused back to the front, and an evil smirk appeared on Levi’s face.

    Omar is in class too, but he looks madly confused, his left hand in his hair.

    The right one is holding his pen, and he’s busy scribbling things in his diary.

    Vans and trenchcoat✓Emory’s freezer incident✓North’s body✓ Inhaler✓ Kill Emory ✓Whoever owns the inhaler is the person…

    Chadwick walked past him, knowingly hitting down his diary to mess with him.

    Omar gasped as the diary landed on the ground, and Chadwick picked it up.

    “Give it to me bastard!” Omar snatched it from him.

    Romeo and Juliet stood behind him, ready to fight if there’s a need for it, but Chadwick just smiled.

    “Tuck your tails back into the middle of your legs, I’m not in the mood” he scoffed, taking his seat.

    Romeo and Juliet sat back too, and Omar left the class.

    Chadwick tapped his fingers on his desk…

    He actually saw what’s in the diary.

    *

    12PM*

    The first two classes are over, and students are currently going for lunch before the upcoming classes marathon.

    Emory’s friends are already in the cafeteria, but she excused herself to go use the restroom.

    She needed to pee.

    She did her business and came out to see Levi walking the hall with Conrad.

    She followed behind till Conrad left him, and then only him entered the smoking spot behind the bloc.

    She stayed by the door, watching as he got a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

    He picked one and placed it loosely between his lips.

    Emory gulped, her throat bobbing.

    Why is that so…hot?

    He was about to get a zippo when Sybil came to him through the other door.

    “Hey I’m Sybil! Emory’s cousin. We can be friends if you don’t mind” she said brightly, wanting to touch his new tattoo…

    “I wouldn’t” he said before she could touch.

    “You don’t like touches? But you’re hot, and I …

    “F+ck the hell off” Levi cut her off, going out the other door.

    “He’s so arrogant! F+ck!” Sybil stumped her foot.

    Emory left the door, tucking her hands in her jacket pocket as she started descending the stairs.

    Omar appeared behind her, and he stretched his hand forward, following her closely while trying to push her.

    He kept following, keeping his hands stretched and waiting for it to get to her.

    Emory finally got downstairs, and he folded his fists as she left.

    “I can’t do this!” He said and turned to go back upstairs, but he met Levi standing in front of him already.

    “Banks?” He mumbled.

    Five minutes later, he was already at the gazebo with Levi.

    Levi actually dragged him here, and the moment he let him go, Omar threw a punch at him.

    Levi caught the fist and slammed it on the pillar instead.

    Omar’s knuckle bones cracked, and he cried out with all his mouth open as blood poured out of the knuckles to the ground.

    Levi hit the fist on the wall again, and one of the fingers bent backwards as another bone cracked.

    Omar fell on his knees, tears coming out of his eyes.

    “Bastard!!!! Let me go!!!!!” He cried out, his nose running again, joining his blood on the ground.

    “Not so quick” Levi replied, retrieving scissors from his back pocket.

    Omar’s eyes widened, but before he could process it, Levi already cut off the smallest finger on his right hand 

    “Arhhhhhh!!!!! Banks!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!” He roared in agonizing symphony.

    His finger fell on the ground, and Levi dropped the bloody scissors.

    “Keep trying, and at every attempt you make to kill Emory, I’ll cut off one finger from you, and when you become fingerless… i’ll sever your f+çking tongue” Levi said, stepping out of the gazebo.

    Omar’s mouth couldn’t close as tears poured out of his eyes in handfuls, blood pouring out of his cut finger in the same manner.

    *

    10PM, CARSON’S MANSON~EMORY’S ROOM*

    The house is silent as everyone went to sleep already.

    Emory licked her lips in her sleep, looking so peaceful and restful till she couldn’t feel her freedom anymore.

    Is her hands supposed to be over her head? 

    Why is it like that? And why is her wrists restrained?

    It reminded her of when Levi chained her to the tub at Forte, and her eyes flew open.

    She gasped, and sweat broke in her brows when she saw her freedom really got robbed.

    Her two hands are chained over her head, to the headboard, and the room smells like cinnamon.

    “Levi you realize this is my house right?” She said, not trying to struggle since she’s already aware that it’s useless.

    Levi is standing by her window, staring out the balcony with an apple on his lips.

    He took a bite before looking back at her, and she gulped.

    “What is it this time? Is it dangerous for me to go out again? As you can see I’m sleeping and I’m not going anywhere so untie me” She said softly.

    His eyes were devoid of softness as he began walking slowly to her bed 

    He sat beside her, taking another full bite from the apple.

    His lips became so wetly red, and she didn’t know when she licked her own lips, moving her wrists slightly so the chains clanged.

    He brought his right hand to her ear, rubbing the shell while she pressed herself to the mattress at the tickle.

    She has three piercings on her ear, and he touched everything, looking at her like his property, his own.

    “They meant nothing? I dare you to say that again” he said.

    “Who chains a girl up if not a toxic abnormal man?” She replied, her palms sweaty.

    “I tossed a dare. Tell me the kisses didn’t make your little pu$+y wet and tell me you don’t want more” he replied, dropping the apple.

    “Stop talking dirty!” She moved.

    “Then drop the attitude, or I’ll f+ck it out of you here” he replied, and her eyes widened.

    “Are you…are you gonna rape me?”

    He kept quiet, noticing the fear in her eyes at the mention of RAPE.

    “Don’t… Please… Don’t do it” she muttered.

    His expression fell.

    “Don’t rape me” her eyes went shut, and she felt hotness behind her closed lids as she remembered that night.

    How uncle Fred was slamming his monstrous p+nis inside her without stop and how she was begging him to stop.

    How blood filled the kitchen…her blood…

    “Please… please don’t!” She started crying, struggling to move.

    “What the hell Emory” Levi held her face.

    “Please don’t do it!!!” She cried out again.

    Levi unlocked the chains, holding her in place, but she kept struggling.

    “No don’t…don’t touch me… please please… Please!!!” She shouted, getting more violent.

    She hurt him with her nails and bit his skin countlessly with her teeth, but he kept pulling her despite the fight, trying to get her back.

    “Noah!” He called sharply, and her struggling reduced as tears poured out of her tightly closed eyes.

    “Who am I?” He asked.

    “Uncle…unvly Fred” she stuttered, and blood filled in Levi’s eyes immediately.

    What the… Shit!

    “F+ck” He stood, letting her go.

    He jumped down the balcony, leaving the house and mounting his bike.

    Now it’s starting to come together…

    Why she hates males, why she gets nightmares, why throws up at any sudden contact, why her voice isn’t loud no matter how hard she screams.

    Gawd damnit…

    He should have deducted it, he should have known..

    He should have f+çking known.

    His body was shaking with rage till he got to the casino and stormed in, meeting Master X at the office.

    He’s sitting at his desk expressionlessly.

    “Who’s Fred?” He questioned.

    Master X remained silent, so he pushed the table with his leg.

    The wood went flying across the room, smashing on the wall and sharing it’s splinters around along with the laptops and documents on it.

    “Who the hell is Fred!!!!!” Levi yelled in blind piping rage.

    “He was … My right-hand man when Hazzan was sick that year. He worked for one year in this casino, and he’s Emory’s uncle” Master X finally talked.

    “And?” Levi growled.

    “He raped her when she was eleven, and I’ve been watching over her since then, but when she became a college student three years ago, I felt like you’d do a better job watching over her since you’ll be closer to her, which is why I told you to start protecting her” Master X looked up.

    “Why?” Levi swallowed his breaths.

    “Because her parents lied to her. Fred was never arrested. He escaped, and he might come back anytime for her” Master X replied, and Levi laughed out like a maniac, the sound echoing in the room with a scary thrill.

    He stormed out of the office, his body still shaking as he took heavy steps out.

    Fred will definitely wish he wasn’t born into this world soon.

    Even if he’s the middle of a f+çking jungle, he’d drag him out.

    He’ll make him eat his own flesh and drink his own blood, he’ll make him cry and no water will come out even if he sticks his finger into his eyes.

    He’ll cut off every part of his body and leave them in the open for vultures to feast on, and he’ll kill every single one from his bloodline till there’ll be no one left standing.

    Even if anyone is left standing, he’ll wait till that person procreates, then he’ll kill him and his bloodline too.

    It’ll be unending.

    Unstopped.

    He’ll maim!

    Every muscle in his body were bulging, and every bicep swelling as he made his exit.

    His eyes are a darker shade than they’ve ever been.

    He came to an halt when he got out and saw Emory standing there, beside her car.

    She’s barefoot, still in her pyjamas, and tears are still on her face.

    She must have followed him here.

    “The hell are you doing here?” He questioned, and she sniffled.

    “I… Did I say anything to you in my sleep?” She asked, her breathing unsteady.

    Levi kept looking at her.

    Her barefoot, her shakiness, her tear-streaked face and red puffy eyes.

    “Yeah…i know everything now” he said, and she came closer.

    “I really begged him, I screamed. He didn’t stop. He kept doing it, and I bled so much in the kitchen… He… He said I belonged to him … He hit me with the rolling stick and i almost died. He beat the crap out of me and forcefully took my… My virg… 

    Levi pulled her to him, wrapped his arms on her and hugged her so tight that she couldn’t say the rest of the words, she just continued hiccuping like a baby.

    “I’ll bring you Fred’s head on a platter, little fox. I promise” Levi whispered hoarsely into her ear, and she buried her wet face in his chest, her temperature so f+çking high.

    • YOU WANT THE BODY BACK? YOU WANT YOUR SECRET SAFE? THEN KILL EMORY CARSON.

    The phone fell from Omar’s shaky fingers, landing on the soil then sliding into the pit from there.

    “Who the hell…is this?” He muttered, blood draining from his face.

    “If you’re confident enough show me your damn face!!!” He yelled, standing on his feet.

    His voice echoed in the forest, and he looked around, but only the sound of nocturnal animals could be heard.

    He looked back into the pit where his phone fell, and another drop of snot came out of his nose.

    He wiped with his palm before jumping in the pit to get the phone.

    He climbed out and inserted his fingers into his mouth, biting his nails while scratching his hair hard with the other hand.

    *

    RAVE*

    “Why would you say that?” Rebekah faced Rain immediately Emory left for the washroom.

    “I only said something harmless and I didn’t know the music would go off at that same moment. I didn’t know she’d deny it and I didn’t know Banks would be mad about it too” Rain replied innocently, and Rebekah smirked.

    “Banks? Mad?” She muttered, coming closer.

    “You’d try a lot more if you wanna make him mad” she said to her face, and Rain blinked as Rebekah turned around, following Emory.

    “Are you really part of the friendship?” Sybil asked immediately.

    “Huh?” Rain faced her.

    “I mean… Rebekah doesn’t seem to like you” Sybil replied, taking a sip from her solo cup of rue.

    “We’re cool, she’s just overbearing” Rain smiled.

    “I can’t believe the first guy I took interest in has a thing with my cousin. My bad luck” Sybil sighed, swirling the drink in her cup.

    “You heard when she said there’s nothing between them” Rain replied.

    “Meaning?” Sybil blinked.

    “You can still shoot your shot, girl!” Rain encouraged.

    Sybil smiled after a while.

    “You’re right” she snapped her fingers.

    “Here” Isaac arrived with the drink.

    “Thank you” Rain took the cup from him and clinked it with Sybil’s cup.

    “I like you, cheers!” She said.

    “Cheers!” Rain smiled.

    *

    WASHROOM*

    Emory backed the zinc bowl, one hand on her forehead and the other one on her hips as she rested on it.

    Various thoughts were spiralling through her mind as she stood there, and she didn’t blink till Rebekah came in.

    “Why did you say that?” Rebekah asked, walking to her.

    “Say what?”

    “Say they meant nothing! Are you for real?” Rebekah replied.

    “You’re acting like a mother right now. That’s my roleplay” Emory said.

    “Well I’m switching roles with you tonight” Rebekah replied, and Emory chuckled softly.

    “Don’t change the subject, why did you do it?” Rebekah asked.

    “But it’s true. All the kisses were forceful and aggressive that we ended up biting each other. They were just kisses, no strings attached” Emory replied.

    “But he’s the only guy you don’t get triggered by, yeah?” Rebekah said.

    “And Omar” Emory replied.

    “Don’t talk about that moron here!” Rebekah raised her hand.

    “Fineee… But Levi is… He’s toxic, like concentrated toxicity… Yunno” Emory said, a frown etching on her face.

    “Just give him some time and get used to him, maybe you can unravel the parts of him we weren’t able to unravel” Rebekah said.

    “Meaning?” Emory asked.

    “He’s like a senior brother to everyone of us in the frat club. Everyone is either 21 or 22, but Banks is 25” Rebekah replied.

    “What! He’s three years older than me? But he looks young” Emory gasped.

    “You’ll understand why he’s still in college at this age if you hear his childhood story from him. We treat him with respect not only because he’s our leader, but he’s our bro” Rebekah smiled.

    Emory’s eyes remained wide.

    “You should have just agreed with him to put Rain in her place earlier. Her questions are getting too much” Rebekah said as she pulled Emory out of the room.

    “I noticed that too, she’s… somehow” Emory replied.

    “You should fix things with Banks soon” Rebekah said.

    “Is he mad at me now?” Emory asked.

    “Mad at you? Banks doesn’t get mad, he only refines his strategy. I’m sure he’s planning something” Rebekah replied.

    “Whatever, we should FaceTime Nina and Lizzy before leaving” Emory said.

    “Yas!” Rebekah kissed Emory’s cheek, and they chuckled before entering the main hall.

    *

    OUTSIDE*

    Levi got on his bike after minutes of sashaying around the hall.

    He put on his leather gloves, and the moment he made to wear his helmet, Chadwick walked up to him.

    He stood in front of the bike with a smile Levi detests so much.

    “What’s funny?” Levi smirked deeply.

    “My father says thank you, and… I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life too. Thanks for sparing my life. I came to the Loft yesterday but Hyce denied my entry” Chadwick replied.

    Without uttering a word, Levi wore his helmet, kicking his bike to life.

    “I’ll do anything to prove myself worthy of your time! Anything at all!” Chadwick shouted as he drove off.

    *

    AN HOUR LATER, CARSON’S MANSON*

    The girls returned from the party twenty minutes ago, and while Sybil is sitting in front of the mirror, wiping her makeup… Emory is in bed, her face in her phone.

    She’s busy posting the pictures she snapped with Rebekah on her IG, and immediately she saw Nina’s comment, she laughed out.

    Nina: Sending hate from my house!!!

    Rebekah: Damn, we’re so pretty *several kiss emojis*

    Nina: *Smirking emojis*

    Emory laughed out again, but before she could witness their impending argument, she received a text.

    Immediately she clicked, she sat up in bed.

    It’s the d+ck picture again, and this one came with a message.

    ~ Leave Banks alone!!! F+ck these d+cks on your screen instead.

    “What the f+ck!” She voiced out.

    “What?” Sybil faced her.

    “Oh …. Nothing” Emory replied, slowly deleting the picture.

    “And about the Banks guy… Are you really not interested? Should i seduce him? I seriously want to date him” Sybil said.

    Emory remained silent, remembering the look in his eyes earlier and how he turned back and left without a word.

    Her damn mind went to when he worshipped her skin with his tongue in the dark garage, and she gulped.

    “Emmy?” Sybil’s voice brought her back, and she blinked twice.

    “Huh?”

    “You’ve been quiet for two minutes. Say something” Sybil said.

    “Go on… I’m.. I’m fine” Emory replied, piling the duvet over herself.

    “Yes!” Sybil jumped, leaving the room.

    *

    NEXT MORNING, TERRAVERDE PALACE*

    Rebekah ignored the maids greetings as usual as she descended the stairs, her hair rolled into a twist.

    Her pyjamas knicker is so short that her mid thighs are left out, and the shirt is transparent as usual.

    That was the first thing Conrad noticed when she got to the dinning door 

    He’s already waiting, and he drooled with no self-control till she stopped in front of him.

    “If you continue staring at me like that, i might think you’re starting to fall for me” she said, bringing him back.

    “Let’s go” he quickly composed himself.

    At once, they entered the dinning hall where Elsa and the king are already at.

    Elsa is behaving like a potentially good wife again, serving the king his water despite the present maids.

    Immediately the king saw Rebekah’s pyjamas, he dropped his fork.

    “Go back upstairs right now, and change into a longer dress. Your stepbrother is here what are you thinking!” He chastised.

    “I don’t think stepbrother is the right word to use in this context, considering the fact that we’re in love” Rebekah replied.

    “What!” The jug of water fell from Elsa to the ground and broke up.

    “What bull are you spewing!” The king’s eyes changed to hostile.

    “We’ve been dating, way before you started planning your wedding. Conrad is my boyfriend” Rebekah replied.

    “F+ck yeah, we love each other and you better cancel the damn wedding before the whole of this island hears about our relationship too” Conrad shrugged.

    “What has come over you Conrad! Is this a stunt to ruin this marriage? Huh?” Elsa came closer.

    “Stunt? Watch me” Conrad pulled Rebekah closer suddenly by the waist, leaning in…

    He was about to kiss her when she took in her lips, making his lids flicker.

    “I knew it!” Elsa laughed.

    “Are you both that desperate to see this wedding fall apart? So desperate to the point of staging a drama?” The king said calmly.

    Conrad let go of Rebekah slowly, and she cursed herself inwardly.

    “You both can’t leave the palace grounds today, you’re grounded” the king ordered.

    “What!” Rebekah gasped.

    “Well you’re not my father! Tell that to your daughter!” Conrad spat.

    “Connie!” Elsa gasped.

    “To hell with you!” Conrad fired and walked out of the hall furiously.

    Rebekah rushed after him and met up by the vast living room.

    “Conrad I…

    “Do you hate me that much? Enough to fold your lips for a harmless kiss? F+ck I hate you too but you don’t see me pasting it around! We could have smashed the wedding if that kiss happened, but you had to f+ck up!” He shouted angrily.

    Rebekah became speechless.

    “Yunno what? Ion care if they get married anymore. Have fun carrying their kids, prude!” Conrad spat, walking out of the palace afterwards.

    Rebekah started blinking back her tears, standing there like an idiot.

    *

    LEGACY COLLEGE*

    • If it isn’t the epileptic fashion icon!

    • Hehehe! She’s brave to show up in school

    • But at least she’s pretty.

    • Pretty face, foamy mouth… Bad combo, who’d date her.

    • Who knows when next she’s gonna start wriggling on the ground like a salted worm?

    • Eew!

    Lizzy just had to lock up and act as if she didn’t hear all the comments coming from the students as she walked into the bloc with Nina and Emory by her sides.

    Sybil and Rain are at the back.

    Students made way for her quickly, not wanting their body to touch her, and she almost broke down.

    “Aren’t they being too harsh? I mean… It’s just epilepsy, not like she’s a killer” Sybil said.

    “Don’t mind them” Rain replied, and then the attention of the students moved to another person who just entered the hallway.

    Levi and his friends.

    Levi got a new tattoo on the lower arm of his right hand, and it’s so f+çking s+xy.

    “el zorro es mio”

    It’s a Spanish sentence which means… THE FOX IS MINE.

    Emory’s heart skipped one beat when she saw it, but their eyes never met.

    He’s not even looking her side no matter how loud the students are fawning over his tattoo.

    • That’s one hell of a tattoo!

    • Who’s his tattooist? It’s so beautiful!

    • Now I wanna be a fox!

    • Maybe he likes foxes

    • I can’t stop crushing on this guy! I want him between my legs!

    Rain was smiling as she watched him,  wishing she could lick the tattoo.

    ‘Fox must be his favorite animal’ She thought, her heart beating do wild.

    She’s so in love with this guy.

    “Help, he’s so hot! I love his tattoo!” Sybil gushed loudly.

    “Banks gave them something to talk about again” Nina grinned.

    “He knows what he’s doing” Lizzy replied.

    Emory said nothing as they finally left for class.

    Getting to class, Levi’s tattoo gist continued, killing any talk about Lizzy completely.

    Lizzy felt relieved as she settled with the girls.

    “Rebekah won’t be coming. His Majesty grounded her” Emory broke the news.

    “Bad news! I miss her!” Nina pouted, resting her head on Emory’s shoulder.

    “Why did you follow Emz when you’re not even a student” Rain asked Sybil.

    They’re sitting behind Nina and Emory.

    “I can’t sit at home, duhh… I only have to hide my face when the lecturer comes in” Sybil replied, and Rain smiled.

    Levi and his friends are in the middle…

    “You look mad, did someone piss in your morning coffee?” Hyce asked Conrad with a grin

    “Obviously a girl problem, pity” Levi replied point-blank, his eyes not leaving Emory who’s in front of him.

    “Girl problem… Check… It’s Rebekah” Conrad replied.

    “Beks? What did she do?” Hyce faced him.

    “Not ready to talk about her” Conrad replied, checking his wristwatch.

    “You haven’t told us about the trenchcoat dude Banks! You said it’s a girl then who? Is she in this class right now?” Hyce asked, smiling when he saw Issac coming in.

    “Yeah” Levi replied.

    “Wait…what!” Hyce said, the smile falling from his face.

    Emory turned back slowly, and her eyes met Levi’s.

    She quickly focused back to the front, and an evil smirk appeared on Levi’s face.

    Omar is in class too, but he looks madly confused, his left hand in his hair.

    The right one is holding his pen, and he’s busy scribbling things in his diary.

    Vans and trenchcoat✓Emory’s freezer incident✓North’s body✓ Inhaler✓ Kill Emory ✓Whoever owns the inhaler is the person…

    Chadwick walked past him, knowingly hitting down his diary to mess with him.

    Omar gasped as the diary landed on the ground, and Chadwick picked it up.

    “Give it to me bastard!” Omar snatched it from him.

    Romeo and Juliet stood behind him, ready to fight if there’s a need for it, but Chadwick just smiled.

    “Tuck your tails back into the middle of your legs, I’m not in the mood” he scoffed, taking his seat.

    Romeo and Juliet sat back too, and Omar left the class.

    Chadwick tapped his fingers on his desk…

    He actually saw what’s in the diary.

    *

    12PM*

    The first two classes are over, and students are currently going for lunch before the upcoming classes marathon.

    Emory’s friends are already in the cafeteria, but she excused herself to go use the restroom.

    She needed to pee.

    She did her business and came out to see Levi walking the hall with Conrad.

    She followed behind till Conrad left him, and then only him entered the smoking spot behind the bloc.

    She stayed by the door, watching as he got a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

    He picked one and placed it loosely between his lips.

    Emory gulped, her throat bobbing.

    Why is that so…hot?

    He was about to get a zippo when Sybil came to him through the other door.

    “Hey I’m Sybil! Emory’s cousin. We can be friends if you don’t mind” she said brightly, wanting to touch his new tattoo…

    “I wouldn’t” he said before she could touch.

    “You don’t like touches? But you’re hot, and I …

    “F+ck the hell off” Levi cut her off, going out the other door.

    “He’s so arrogant! F+ck!” Sybil stumped her foot.

    Emory left the door, tucking her hands in her jacket pocket as she started descending the stairs.

    Omar appeared behind her, and he stretched his hand forward, following her closely while trying to push her.

    He kept following, keeping his hands stretched and waiting for it to get to her.

    Emory finally got downstairs, and he folded his fists as she left.

    “I can’t do this!” He said and turned to go back upstairs, but he met Levi standing in front of him already.

    “Banks?” He mumbled.

    Five minutes later, he was already at the gazebo with Levi.

    Levi actually dragged him here, and the moment he let him go, Omar threw a punch at him.

    Levi caught the fist and slammed it on the pillar instead.

    Omar’s knuckle bones cracked, and he cried out with all his mouth open as blood poured out of the knuckles to the ground.

    Levi hit the fist on the wall again, and one of the fingers bent backwards as another bone cracked.

    Omar fell on his knees, tears coming out of his eyes.

    “Bastard!!!! Let me go!!!!!” He cried out, his nose running again, joining his blood on the ground.

    “Not so quick” Levi replied, retrieving scissors from his back pocket.

    Omar’s eyes widened, but before he could process it, Levi already cut off the smallest finger on his right hand 

    “Arhhhhhh!!!!! Banks!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!” He roared in agonizing symphony.

    His finger fell on the ground, and Levi dropped the bloody scissors.

    “Keep trying, and at every attempt you make to kill Emory, I’ll cut off one finger from you, and when you become fingerless… i’ll sever your f+çking tongue” Levi said, stepping out of the gazebo.

    Omar’s mouth couldn’t close as tears poured out of his eyes in handfuls, blood pouring out of his cut finger in the same manner.

    *

    10PM, CARSON’S MANSON~EMORY’S ROOM*

    The house is silent as everyone went to sleep already.

    Emory licked her lips in her sleep, looking so peaceful and restful till she couldn’t feel her freedom anymore.

    Is her hands supposed to be over her head? 

    Why is it like that? And why is her wrists restrained?

    It reminded her of when Levi chained her to the tub at Forte, and her eyes flew open.

    She gasped, and sweat broke in her brows when she saw her freedom really got robbed.

    Her two hands are chained over her head, to the headboard, and the room smells like cinnamon.

    “Levi you realize this is my house right?” She said, not trying to struggle since she’s already aware that it’s useless.

    Levi is standing by her window, staring out the balcony with an apple on his lips.

    He took a bite before looking back at her, and she gulped.

    “What is it this time? Is it dangerous for me to go out again? As you can see I’m sleeping and I’m not going anywhere so untie me” She said softly.

    His eyes were devoid of softness as he began walking slowly to her bed 

    He sat beside her, taking another full bite from the apple.

    His lips became so wetly red, and she didn’t know when she licked her own lips, moving her wrists slightly so the chains clanged.

    He brought his right hand to her ear, rubbing the shell while she pressed herself to the mattress at the tickle.

    She has three piercings on her ear, and he touched everything, looking at her like his property, his own.

    “They meant nothing? I dare you to say that again” he said.

    “Who chains a girl up if not a toxic abnormal man?” She replied, her palms sweaty.

    “I tossed a dare. Tell me the kisses didn’t make your little pu$+y wet and tell me you don’t want more” he replied, dropping the apple.

    “Stop talking dirty!” She moved.

    “Then drop the attitude, or I’ll f+ck it out of you here” he replied, and her eyes widened.

    “Are you…are you gonna rape me?”

    He kept quiet, noticing the fear in her eyes at the mention of RAPE.

    “Don’t… Please… Don’t do it” she muttered.

    His expression fell.

    “Don’t rape me” her eyes went shut, and she felt hotness behind her closed lids as she remembered that night.

    How uncle Fred was slamming his monstrous p+nis inside her without stop and how she was begging him to stop.

    How blood filled the kitchen…her blood…

    “Please… please don’t!” She started crying, struggling to move.

    “What the hell Emory” Levi held her face.

    “Please don’t do it!!!” She cried out again.

    Levi unlocked the chains, holding her in place, but she kept struggling.

    “No don’t…don’t touch me… please please… Please!!!” She shouted, getting more violent.

    She hurt him with her nails and bit his skin countlessly with her teeth, but he kept pulling her despite the fight, trying to get her back.

    “Noah!” He called sharply, and her struggling reduced as tears poured out of her tightly closed eyes.

    “Who am I?” He asked.

    “Uncle…unvly Fred” she stuttered, and blood filled in Levi’s eyes immediately.

    What the… Shit!

    “F+ck” He stood, letting her go.

    He jumped down the balcony, leaving the house and mounting his bike.

    Now it’s starting to come together…

    Why she hates males, why she gets nightmares, why throws up at any sudden contact, why her voice isn’t loud no matter how hard she screams.

    Gawd damnit…

    He should have deducted it, he should have known..

    He should have f+çking known.

    His body was shaking with rage till he got to the casino and stormed in, meeting Master X at the office.

    He’s sitting at his desk expressionlessly.

    “Who’s Fred?” He questioned.

    Master X remained silent, so he pushed the table with his leg.

    The wood went flying across the room, smashing on the wall and sharing it’s splinters around along with the laptops and documents on it.

    “Who the hell is Fred!!!!!” Levi yelled in blind piping rage.

    “He was … My right-hand man when Hazzan was sick that year. He worked for one year in this casino, and he’s Emory’s uncle” Master X finally talked.

    “And?” Levi growled.

    “He raped her when she was eleven, and I’ve been watching over her since then, but when she became a college student three years ago, I felt like you’d do a better job watching over her since you’ll be closer to her, which is why I told you to start protecting her” Master X looked up.

    “Why?” Levi swallowed his breaths.

    “Because her parents lied to her. Fred was never arrested. He escaped, and he might come back anytime for her” Master X replied, and Levi laughed out like a maniac, the sound echoing in the room with a scary thrill.

    He stormed out of the office, his body still shaking as he took heavy steps out.

    Fred will definitely wish he wasn’t born into this world soon.

    Even if he’s the middle of a f+çking jungle, he’d drag him out.

    He’ll make him eat his own flesh and drink his own blood, he’ll make him cry and no water will come out even if he sticks his finger into his eyes.

    He’ll cut off every part of his body and leave them in the open for vultures to feast on, and he’ll kill every single one from his bloodline till there’ll be no one left standing.

    Even if anyone is left standing, he’ll wait till that person procreates, then he’ll kill him and his bloodline too.

    It’ll be unending.

    Unstopped.

    He’ll maim!

    Every muscle in his body were bulging, and every bicep swelling as he made his exit.

    His eyes are a darker shade than they’ve ever been.

    He came to an halt when he got out and saw Emory standing there, beside her car.

    She’s barefoot, still in her pyjamas, and tears are still on her face.

    She must have followed him here.

    “The hell are you doing here?” He questioned, and she sniffled.

    “I… Did I say anything to you in my sleep?” She asked, her breathing unsteady.

    Levi kept looking at her.

    Her barefoot, her shakiness, her tear-streaked face and red puffy eyes.

    “Yeah…i know everything now” he said, and she came closer.

    “I really begged him, I screamed. He didn’t stop. He kept doing it, and I bled so much in the kitchen… He… He said I belonged to him … He hit me with the rolling stick and i almost died. He beat the crap out of me and forcefully took my… My virg… 

    Levi pulled her to him, wrapped his arms on her and hugged her so tight that she couldn’t say the rest of the words, she just continued hiccuping like a baby.

    “I’ll bring you Fred’s head on a platter, little fox. I promise” Levi whispered hoarsely into her ear, and she buried her wet face in his chest, her temperature so f+çking high.
