WHAT?!

I gasped.

Someone had been visiting me when I was in a coma?! Wasn't I alone?! I had no friends and family... but how...?

Who visited me? A family member? Friend? Relative? Enemy? Stranger?

The person who visited me might not have a good relationship with me, so it was possible that they could be an enemy or stranger. I leaned back but then suddenly lost my balance and fell off the bed. 

Bam!

My head hit something hard and solid.

"Ah...!"

My vision blurred. The whole world started to spin.  I raised my arm to touch the back of my head and felt warm blood.

The last thing I knew was Lucas and Joe bursting inside my room and running towards me before I fell unconscious.


I was in Cedric's palace, wandering through the halls when I heard shouts and yells coming from the dining room. Huh? 

I peeked through the dining room door and saw Cedric. His face made me frown. But then I saw another man that looked a few years younger than Cedric. He had beautiful orange hair and blue eyes. 

My heart skipped a beat at the sight of him and I blushed.

Cedric and him were yelling and screaming at each other, leaving me gladly unnoticed.

"Theo, I will never allow you to meet Julia!" Cedric roared, slamming his fist on the table/

So the handsome man with orange hair's name Theo? Theo didn't look cold and bad-tempered like Cedric. And what? Cedric didn't allow him to meet me? I have never met or heard about Theo before. I never ran into him into the halls or saw him anywhere in the palace.

However... there is a room in the palace where I'm not forbidden to enter. 

"You are only allowed out of your room when Julia is asleep!" bellowed Cedric. "Do you understand?"

"I'm so sick being trapped in one room for so long!" cried Theo, throwing his arms in the air. "Why won't you allow me to meet Julia?"

I scrunched up my face. Why did they keep calling me Julia? I was NOT Julia! But Theo, he is so charming!

"Because," growled Cedric, "She. Is. My. Woman."

What?! I was not Cedric's! I belonged to no one! I'm no object!"

I felt... anger. I pictured myself as Theo's woman for some reason, and that brought a smile to my lips.

"Oh!" Theo said. "So just because she is your woman means she is not allowed to meet me, your stepbrother?"

"...!" My eyes widened. Cedric had a stepbrother?! How come no one talked about him? I didn't even know he existed!

"Shush!" demanded Cedric, looking around. "I don't want to risk the fact of someone hearing you."

Theo clenched his fists. "Why do you hate me? Why do you hate me so much that you don't allow the servants to talk about me? WHY?!"

"BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER BE MY BROTHER!"

S-so Theo is Cedric's stepbrother, and does Cedric not want to accept him? And Cedric doesn't allow me to meet him because he hates him? And Theo lives in that room I'm not allowed to enter?

Wow, that's a lot of shocking and exciting information.

"Now go back to your room! NOW!" 

Theo gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
