"Wattpad Featured Author presents: 'One of Us Will Die (Who's Next?)'
In this gripping mystery/thriller novel, Damien and Bethy's love story transcends time, fueled by faith and bound together by fate. But their destiny is entwined in a sinister gam...
Diana, the head maid, led me towards a different chamber. According to her, we were sumound by the crown prince, the same man who brought me in yesterday.
Gosh, i felt like burying myself six feets under ground whenever i recall our conversation and how rudely i acted towards him, That was so unlady like of me, and he was only trying to help me.
I was still lost in my thoughts when we reached the doors of his chambers. A guard went in to announce our arrival, and we were let into his chambers.
I was met with a dark piercing gaze, and my breath was hitched in my throat because i could finally see all his features clearly, sure he was he same man i saw inside the woods but it was dark last night and i could'nt make out his looks.
But now, as he stood in all his glory, looking so magnificient and mouth watery, i knew i was doomed.
"You are all dismissed," he said, and soon everyone left, including Diana. Now, it was just the two of us.
I could'nt move, nor take take my eyes off him, but then he said.
"Bethy" with a nod of acknolegement and God help me so, why did my name sound so good coming from his mouh, it is absoulety sinful for him to look attractive and still sound so good.
"Your Highness," i finally managed out with a little bow.
"Thank you for everything," i said, and this time, i found it hard to look at his face as i remembered how misreble i sounded yesterday.
He took three strides forward, and suddenly, he was close to me.
My chest twisted in pain at our sudden proximity. It was like a hot iron was piercing through my chest while being twisted in the most terryfing way possible.
He, however, did not notice the pain i was feeling as he bent down and gently held my feet to examine them.
The pain intensified once he touched me, and i couldn't hold back my groan as i held my chest, trying to ease the pain.
My face scronched in pain as a whimper left my mouth.
Hearing my cries, Prince damien quickly rose back up, his concern for me evident on his face.
"Are you okay?"
he asked while gently holding me up by my shoulders, but it burned, his touch burnt so bad that a piercing scream left my mouth.
I could suddenly tate metallic blood in my mouth. I was bleeding!
"Help," i said in a quivering voice while coughing out blood from my mouth as darkness engulfed my vision.
The last thing i felt was his arms wrapped securely around my hips while his screams for me faded with everything else. His touch burned my body, yet it soothed my soul.
His eyes pierced my being, yet they captivated my heart. He was like a magnet that was hard to resist, hard to pull away from, yet he just made me bleed.
But somehow, deep down, i knew i would always get burned by him, but there is no doubt that i'll always gravitate towards him, even if it meant being burnt down to ashes.
