Writers POV
The sky was overshadowed by dark clouds, and no ray of sunlight could penetrate the thick layer of clouds. Rain was pouring down with no signs of abating. Rain fell, soaking the streets and cleaning up nature. There was no breeze or wind. The rain was pouring and pouring. She stood behind the thick glass windows, her gaze was drawn to each raindrop that glazed the earth. The day was gloomy, just like she felt; only the sky could cry to its heart's content, while she couldn't. She had no idea how long she had been standing there by her window. Ahe was jolted out of her trail of thoughts when her stomach growled loudly. She looked back at the clock, it was 3 in the afternoon and now when she thinks how long ago she had breakfast, it only makes her stomach growl louder. She walked into her kitchen, the sink still has the dirty dishes she left that day. Going through the cabinets, fridge, and pantry she found nothing good enough to use. Only spoiled milk, eggs, and vegetables. It has been over a month since she was here, so that explains this situation. The next thirty minutes she spent searching for her phone that was lying under her bed somehow and was dead. Putting it on charge she went through her contact which consists of only one number. After three rings, someone on the other end answered the phone, and a soft feminine voice spoke up.
"Fina?"
"Hello, Mia,"
"I was starting to worry at this point, where have you been? You should have at least told me you'd be gone for so long," Mia said, her voice tinged with worry and a hint of rage.
"Urgent work came up and I had to leave; don't be mad? Please forgive me for not informing you beforehand."
"You know I can't stay mad at you dear, just don't leave without telling me again," Mia said, sighing.
"I won't; now, could you please get some groceries for a day or two and cook me lunch?"
"You don't need to ask, silly girl; that's my job."
"Hurry, I'm starving," Ariel says, Mia chuckles at her antics.
"Just give me a few minutes," Mia was about to disconnect the call when Ariel said again
"Oh and cover your scent," Mia notes that and they disconnect the call.
After twenty minutes, there was a knock on her penthouse door, when she was busy in her studio killing time. She knew exactly who it was and ran excitedly to open the door. When she opened the door, she found a six-foot-tall muscular man standing in place of Mia. The glee on her face had faded and been replaced by a scowl.
"Didn't I say I would kill you if you come in my sight?"
"Please accept my apologies, my lady, but this woman wants to see you." He moves aside, revealing a woman in her late forties with dark brown hair and pale skin. Her eyes were a soft brown color that glowed when she saw Ariel standing there. When the other two guards standing behind Mia move, she drops the grocery bags and rushes to hug Ariel.
"I'm so glad to see you, dear," Mia said as Ariel hugs her back
"Me too."
"And don't you dare leave next time without telling me." She scowled Ariel
"Yeah yeah, I said I was sorry. Now your scowls aren't gonna fill my stomach." Mia shook her head when and Ariel started walking towards the kitchen grinning. One of the guards took the bags and followed them inside. After putting the groceries on the counter he bowed and left. Mia started taking out the ingredients and Ariel sat behind the counter on a counter chair.
"So, you were at the castle this whole time?" Mia asked without taking her eyes off the vegetables she was chopping
"How did you know?"
