chapter 18

DELLA

Lucian and I got back to the inn. On the way to the inn he told me that he only sees me as a sister. He spotted that my intrest was not on him on the first meeting itself. But he had to make sure, that's why he agreed to this festival date. Lucian already had a girl that he loves back in his place. But he couldn't refuse this proposal. He also said that he'll help me to find everything about Selene and Adonis. We both agreed to pretend like we're ready for this marriage meanwhile he'll find a way to marry his love and also the information for me. It was a long tiring day so I took a bath and changed into a comfortable night dress. I was all set to sleep. That's when I saw someone sitting on my window. It's him..... It's Kai. I was expecting Zander. Kai walked to me in an alarming speed and he raised his hands, I closed my eyes forcefully and seconds later I felt a sharp pain on the side of my neck.
                      By the time I woke up , I was already in dark valley. Inside a black wood carriage. Kai and Zander were outside. "Zan...." My voice broke halfway through. A part of me was overjoyed to see Zander. But the other part was not ready to forgive him. I got out of the carriage, that's when he noticed me.
" It must be tiring, get some sleep " he said that with an emotionless face. " You kidnapped me and now giving me orders?" I was angry as hell. I was about to give him a good slap on his face but my shoulder says no. When I looked at my shoulder it was already bruised. If I remember correctly it's Kai who did that, yesterday. For a fraction of a moment I saw a pain in his eyes. His eyes glared in anger and looked at Kai. He's looking at Kai with a murderous look and Kai, he doesn't give a damn about it. Zander took a deep breath and said ," little bunny, be a good girl and travel with me. The future King of Arrdiva". He was right, no one from the entire country was able to make a change on the stone. As per the rules he'll become the next King. I traveled with him, not because I wanted to but I was not in a state to argue or runaway. I must treat my bruises first. As I arrived their place, everyone looked at me like they met a ghost. Ohh.... No.... Last time.... I made a commotion and they must have hated me for that reason. Great, I'm done with my life.... It's so unfair.
                  The lady who escorted me that day gave me some medicines and treated me. I saw a lady almost the same age as my mother. I assumed she was Zander's mother. Slender, black hair which is greying due to aging, very elegant and sweet. Complete opposite of Zander. She was the only one who talked to me. I was not angry at anyone else but Zander. She arranged a room for me with everything I ever wanted. Dress, jewelleries, books, snacks,... It was a dream place. This must be the best kidnapping in the history of Arrdiva.
