Alice

The Bonding

Shadow came back and gave her report to Alice. She told her that Mike uttered, "You haven't seen anything. You are just dreaming because the day was tough. All that isn't real. There is no heir or anything of this kind. It was all in your imagination."

As soon as Mike was over with her, Alice saw how she moved away in a dazzled motion just like if she was poisoned or something.

Mike came back to the table, while taking enough precaution not to meet Alice blazing stare. He sat on a cushion next to her and put his hand on her thighs.

He slowly said, "Alice, the academy taught us many lessons but one thing that they don't is how to make the heir turned off their irises."

He took her hand and enlaced his fingers around hers, then continued, "You alone can dispose of your power the way you want. Neither me nor anyone can prevent or stop you from using them. Just know that I'm going to stay here with your hand in mine waiting for you to find the solution."

"I am not going anywhere, so if you don't want to have my hand in yours for too long, find a solution quick."

Alice looked at him and thought, "I don't want to let you go either. If not finding the solution means you will be holding my hand forever then I'm willing to not move the little finger. I don't want you to let go of me. It feels so good to have you on the other side of my arm. It is like if my sorrows stop at my end and my happiness start at the beginning of yours..."

"Wow Mysaa. Your words are so profound and beautiful. Why don't you confess to him." Shadow replied.

Alice was surprised, she had totally forgotten to make shadow go away.

"It's not that easy Shadow. Sometime not divulging your feelings means to protect yourself against heart-break." Alice told Shadow.

She replied, "But I can feel that you're already broken by how you're expressing yourself. Mysaa, why are human so complicated?"

Alice giggled and Mike looked at her. It was instinctive, happily for him, Alice's irises was back to normal and she was radiating with that perfect smile.

Mike got up and smiled back then went back to his seat.

"Wow, that was quick. If you didn't want me to hold your hand, you should have told me earlier my Alice." Mike said playfully.

She replied in a low voice, "Stupid."

"I want to tell you so many things Alice."

"Why don't you start by telling me the reason that we came here. Secondly, why have you been so tensed since we entered this property and finally, how come we have such privileges, expensive cars going sideways to let us go, people jumping and fangirling on you. Not to mention how are being followed since we step inside the castle." Alice replied.

"Someone's following us?" his attitude changed hastily when he realized that he had let down his guard while enjoying the present with Alice.

When she perceived that sudden shift in attitude. Alice wondered, "What have they done to you in that training center, oh Mikey?"

"It wasn't that bad, I..." Mike got interrupted by someone approaching the balcony.

Out if nowhere, a curvy and glamorous figure appeared from the left side and entered the love bubble without notice.

She walked towards them with an undeniable confidence and determination. Her stare was fiery, ready to kill people with her jade irises.

She catwalked in an elegant manner and kept a stoic face while getting nearer to Alice.
