INFERNA (book one)

Contentment it may seem like something easily achieved, but being content in all aspects of your life is no simple task. Stability is something average people take for granted and now I see how easy it is to be trapped in a cycle.

"Do you know who I am, Searif?"
"No, but please do enlighten me," I snapped rudely, getting tired of the situation. She leaned close, whispering into my ear before I could feel her breath fan my cheek.
"Octavia Necapharious" that last name she's a royal, the princess. I always had a thing for pissing off authority.
"You're the princess," I say, thinking out loud, still in shock with this new realization. My eyes widen. She could kill me and nobody would bat an eye. Fuck, I'm totally screwed.
"That I am, and the crime I just witness could get you put in jail for a few years along with the defiance tsk tsk, tsk I'm gonna let you off with a warning just this once." She jeered, removing her face from my ear now, locking eyes with me. Fuck, of course I would end up in jail for eating an apple. "You should know the kitchen staff keeps a log of each item eaten," she added.
"Please don't put me to jail, I just got this job, I'm sorry for being rude I didn't mean it I'll do whatever you want." I pleaded. not realizing a tear had fallen down my face. My eyes swelled, readying for more.
"I wasn't planning on it" she softly states, pausing to wiping the tear off my cheek
