"This is the late Queen , Queen Calantha." She said, looking at me as if she was trying to somehow measure me up to everything I think I know so far about Her Majesty. "Young Queen you need to understand that the people of Caledonia looked up to her Royal Highness and never not once did she let her people down. Everyone knew of her bravery , kindness , love for her people and most of all love for her husband" she explained with firmness. "I'll have you know the people expect the same from you. You understand ?" To which I nodded.
As she walked away from me , my thoughts engulfed me like a thick ominous cloud.
Love for my husband. The man who laid his hands on me before I walked to the down the aisle to meet him on the alter.
How could I possibly love someone like that?

To Run and Hide
I was foolish and young, and I had gotten myself neck deep into this assasiantion plot, and into this - whatever this was, between myself and Darius. He was a betrothed man, that I knew. He was to marry, and that was that. I could never come between him and his Queen, not when I was no more than some low - bred peasant, good for nothing but service. "I don't love Princess Ophera," Darius began, his voice wavering. I looked up then, and our eyes locked. Navy blue met cerulean in a dance of colour, as beautiful as the rolling waves or the bright blue sky. "I have never wanted this life for myself. Ever since I was younger, all I wanted was - I know this will sound stupid -" A bitter laugh. I leaned forward and gripped his hands in my own, willing curiosity into my face, hoping to comfort him. It seemed to work, for he continued to speak. "I love to play the violin. I wanted to be a world famous violinist, renowned for my art." I smiled at the vulnerability, even as pain tugged through me. How could I be so stupid, to never consider that he might have hobbies of his own? I had not painted since my book was stolen, but that didn't mean I couldn't start up again. "Will you play for me sometime? The violin?" "I will. My Mother loved the violin as well," His gaze turned distant, somber. I squeezed his hands in reassurance, and he smiled slightly. "Tell me about your Mother."Complete

A kiss that was filled with anger, disappointment and intense passion. A kiss that could convey a goodbye. She placed her hands on his chest taken aback by his sudden action, her eyes squinted with the intensity of his kiss and she was losing her breath. Suddenly he took his lips back and placed his head on hers, both panting for air, but their eyes did not meet. And then what he said next swept off the land from under Maadhavi's feet. 'I will never touch you again.' 'I snatch you off all the rights of being my wife' Maadhavi stood still her eyes stuck on his chest as his feets turned walking away from her.

"Arush" I moan as my muscles tighten around his fingers, pleasure rushing through my body in a way it never has before. He smirks, and then he leans in to kiss me, his touch gentler now. He kisses me so sweetly that my heart can't help but skip a beat. My hands run over his chest and up, until I've got my arms wrapped around his neck, the tips of my fingers at his nape. I pull him closer, desperate for more, but he pulls away, the smile melting off his fac "The next time you want this, you come to me," he tells me, his expression hardening. "Stay away from Rohit. He's not for you." I blink in confusion as he lowers me to the floor and cages me in. I look into his eyes, my racing heart beating in a different rhythm than before. "What are you... what are you talking about? " He smiles humorlessly and brushes my hair out of my face, his gaze cold. "If you want to become some rich guy's mistress, then be mine. It's fucking embarrassing to see you flirt with him. If I ever catch you behaving this way again, I'll fire you. No one will be able to save you."
