I gently move backwards and try to sneak my hand from his w@!st. But no , his eyes snap open.
” You should sleep. You were shivering.” He said pu-lling me closer.
” What happened to you ?” I ask so unsure. Maybe he’s drun!k, Arden can’t be this nice.
” Lita , I’m not drun!k. Don’t let me regret helping you.” He sighs and shut his eyes back.
” I’m just wondering. What did you feed on ?” He growl silently and open his eyes again.
” What do you see me as ?”
” A bad person. Someone who doesn’t care.” He chuckle silently.
” Yeah right. You are going back to the floor tomorrow not even the couch.”
I stayed quiet as he slowly shut his eyes.
” plea-se don’t say a word. It’s midnight and I nee-d to sleep properly. I didn’t get to feed well today.”
” Feed ? Did you bite someone ? Your fangs are like poison.”
He hiss and cuss un-der his breath before snapping his eyes open.
” They are not..”
” They always hurt me. It’s poisonous.”
” Alita , they are not poisonous. I just had to make it hurt you. You deserved it. You’re this pretty little thing , who doesn’t listen to anyone.” He spat.
I really had to pretend he didn’t call me ” thing” I hate to be referred as such. He roll his eyes and shut them again.
” Don’t say a word plea-se. I can’t handle you.” He said with his eyes still shut.
” What if Jasmin comes in ? What will you tell her ?” He growl silently and pressed hisl-ips together. His eyes are still closed and he’s about flaring up.
He squee-ze my h!ps and pinched it. I bit my bo-ttoml!pas his eyes open.
” You’re annoying I swear. You’re not okay. Why can’t you just leave me alone lemme have a good sleep. I deserve to sleep , I didn’t feed well I told you.” He spat and heave a de-ep breath.
” Why didn’t you feed from me ?” I ask so unsure of what I just said. My voice was calm so as his eyes.
” Like you would allow me.”
” Then you should have f0rç£d me , as usual.”
” I don’t usually f0rç£ you to do anything.”
” Yeah you do. f0rç£d me to stay your room all day. f0rç£d me to shut up. f0rç£d me to wear oversized clothes..”
” Oh. You wanna dress S-xy now huh ?” What ? How do you even dress S-xy ?
” You’re unbelievable. plea-se try and sleep. Another distraction and I swear I might fv¢kin b!ow up.” He said and take a de-ep breath.
” Yes. Now I see where I got the fv¢kin word from. From you . You’re too corrupt for a prince.”
” And who are you to judge me ?” He ask. His eyes cold as he narrowed them. I’m used to them , so it shouldn’t scare me.
” I’m not judging you. Just saying.”
” Yeah. Right. Go to sleep , no more word from you..” he says breaking from the cudd-ling.
” Ar….” He sh0t me a death glare with his foref!nger up.
” …. Not another word. I’m serious.” I grimace and nodded.
” You’re too ha-rd to deal with.” He scoff and turn his back to face me.
I feel lonely. I pu-ll the blanket close to my n£¢k and back him too. I grip to the blanket and try to keep my thoughts busy. I nee-d to st©p thinking about unnecessary stuff.
I thought about different stuffs and that terrible feeling the very first day Arden saw me n-ked. It was a terrible feeling. It’s really awkward thinking about it since I sle-pt close to Arden , he’s always good at teleporting himself into my head.
I really hate when we fight . Same time I hate to be treated like trash. I’m a woman and from Amazon too. We treat the men the way we want , not the other way round. Reasons we were lectured against falling in love , it’s our weakness and we shouldn’t let them see our weakness.
Most times I think Arden knows my weakness reasons he always try to use it against me.
Till d@t£ , I don’t even know what love feels like. I’ve not even felt it. I don’t want to , not now. I breathe in and closed my eyes ti-ghtly as I drift slowly into Dreamland.
I dreamt I was back home , where we belong. But something was weird , the entire island was isolated just as that day. But then I saw Diana’s statue , but it looked different. Akeelah appeared
from inside and scowl at me.
” I’m coming for you , princess..” those were her words before my eyes snap open. It’s morning and Arden was sitting on my couch .
” My prince..” Melissa knocked on his door.
” Come in.” He said without taking his glance from his phone.
The door open as Melissa walks in.
” I nee-d to clean the bathroom.” She said glaring at me. Yeah , what am I doing on the Prince’s be-d.
” Bathroom is that way.” Arden replied her still not sparing both of us a stare.
” Yeah , sure.” She sluggishly move her feet and glare at me. She’s unbelievable.
She bit her bo-ttoml!pand walk to the bathroom disappointed or something. I really nee-d to use the bathroom but that witch in a vampire’s form is inside.
I pushed the blanket aside and sit up. Arden didn’t look at and I un-derstand. Feeling angry because he cu-mddled me to be-d and allowed me to be-d with him. I’m just a slave.
He’s back to this cold Devil and he doesn’t look bothered.
” Arden…” He sh0t me a quic-k hateful glare and I had to change my approach.
” My prince..” he scoff and lowered his head to operate his phone.
” Thanks for last night.” I told him and he didn’t reply. Yeah , as-s-hole.
I roll my eyes and step out of the be-d. I stare at him one last time as I walk to the bathroom. I pushed the door open and closed it once I’m inside.
Melissa st©pped working and glare at me.
” Mistress huh ? Enjoying the sweet comfort of the prince. I bet he fv¢ked you well last night or maybe you weren’t ju-icy enough.”
I svçkmyl-ips and re-lease them. I really don’t know where she’s driving at and I don’t like to be referred to as a who-re. A S-x slave and a mistress.
” Yeah. You’re ashamed , dirty swine.” She cuss.
How can I beat her up without the prince finding out. I’m sure he would hear her cries. I bit my thumb and and chuckle.
” I nee-d to use the bathroom , can you plea-se excuse me ?” I said to her ignoring her hateful and jealous speech.
” You’re $h!tting me right ?” She ask.
” plea-se excuse me…” I f0rç£d a smile as she bites herl-ip.
” You’re a useless…..”
” plea-se , don’t say it.” I cut her short but that didn’t seem to impress her.
” You’re a useless slave.” Damn I warned her.
I punched her and cover her mouth and make sure she didn’t scream.
” You fv¢kin bit-ch…” She cuss with my hand still pressed slightly to her mouth.
” You idiot. It’s gonna be annoying if I beat you up , right here. I won’t enjoy it because I won’t hear you m0@n loud enough.” I twist her arm and spin her pressing her face against the wall.
Why can’t I treat Arden this way. It’s gonna be fun.
” Will you let me use the bathroom or not ?” I ask her pressing her head.
She gr0@nand hiss in pain. Twisting her arm won’t help , she would possibly snap it back. I pu-ll her by her hair and open the bathroom door for her.
” plea-se excuse me..” I gesture her to the door with a grin. She scoff but I pushed her out slightly for Arden not to notice anything.
I brush my teeth and wash my hands. I wash my face and dry it with my towel. Satisfied enough, I walked out. Melissa was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Arden acted like he didn’t notice her. He’s weird.
” Thank you , I’m really sorry.” I smiled at her but her dark eyes displa-yed her anger.
” I can’t believe I’m washing a bathroom for you.” She mutter throu-gh clenched teeth.
She scrunch her face and walk back to the bathroom. Arden is now on his be-d still busy with his phone. I cu-mddled up in my couch and try to get busy with my nails.
Arden didn’t speak to me and I didn’t bother to speak or do something worth yelling at. He makes me feel like a kid. Melissa finished washing as she storm out of the bathroom with a sour face. Arden slide his hand down his face as he kept his phone aside. He turn to look at myself which was alre-ady cu-mddled in my couch be-d as he scoff. He stood up from the be-d and disappeared into the bathroom.
He’s always fast as long as bathing is concern. He got out and get dressed as he picked up his phone from the be-d and his car keys too.
He walk pas-s me and st©p.
” Kylie will bring you breakfast and plea-se don’t destroy my room.” He said as he step out of the be-droom.
Here begins my boring day. I stayed Indoors and try to get busy. I took my bath and ate the meal Kylie brou-ght. I haven’t seen Derek since that very first day. I kinda missed him , since he’s the least person who cares about me.
I sit opposite the dresser and stare at my reflection. I remembered the first day i got here. I look different from that first day. My skin is more brighter and my face , it’s really more prettier. I know I
look good but something around this weird city made me look more beautiful.
I smiled at my reflection and take off the hair band. Arden seems to be okay with white. Almost every single decorations in his room is white including the paintings. The dresser is sparkly white too. I brush my hair and decide to weave my hair in order to bore my time. I finished weaving as I stroll around his large comfortable be-droom.
I opened a door that leads to his balcony as I shut it behinde me. I smile lightly and breathe in , I’ve seen darkness for too long , all thanks to Arden. I stayed there till I got bored and I had to return to the be-droom. I sigh and thought about something to do. I can’t even work , most times I watch TV and basically I get bored too.
I opened the drawer on the nightstand and sigh. Nothing useful except a packet and other items.
” What is this ?” I mutter to myself as i glanced at this weird packet.
The doorknob creak open as Kylie walked in.
” What are you doing ?” She ask as she shut the door.
” Nothing..” she sigh as she walk to where I’m standing.
” What are you holding ?” She sighed again and snatch the packet from my hand. She mutter something to herself and keep it back.
” What do you think you were holding ?” She crossed her arms and sm-irk.
” A packet.”
” That was c0nd0m. Imagine the prince saw you holding that.” I roll my eyes not even thinking what she’s saying.
” It’s meant for S-x. protec-tion against pregnancy…” Oh.. now I get her point.
I shyly nod and imagine whatever that is. Why would a prince sto-re a packet of c0nd0ms.
” You’re n@ûghty. Don’t ever t©uçh that. The prince might get angry at you.” I nodded and t©uçh my alre-ady weaved hair.
” Is this your hair ?” She ask tou-ching the br@ids cause it’s w@!st length. I nodded and sigh.
” It’s pretty and long..” I chuckled and cross my arm.
” Just said i should check on you.”
” Thanks Kylie.” I hvg her as she smiled before she walk out.
I sigh and sluggishly walk to the door. I hold the doorknob and twist it. Wow , she didn’t locked it. I smiled and open it as I step out of his room.
” Where should I even go ?” I mutter to myself and shut the door behind me.
I just nee-d a stroll and I don’t care about Arden. What’s he gonna do ? Yell or maybe bite me. I walk down the quiet hallway as I smiled at every decorations on the hallway. I was even ba-refooted. I heard chatters as i st©p to peek. The royal family was having lunch. I don’t even
know what time it is.
I scan the dinning table and Arden doesn’t seem happy. Someone was seated close to Arden and it’s a boy. A familiar boy. The queen said something which I didn’t hear as the family chuckled
but Arden didn’t.
I bit my l!pand try not to believe it’s him. No not him , not this man. He raised his head up as our eyes met.
” Dylan…”
