She held my hands and looked at them, like she was trying to read my destiny through the little details of my handprints. Her smile died down and that worried me. What did she see?"You'll tell me the truth and the truth only Elliot, is that clear?" I hesitantly nodded, fearing what she would do. "How did you meet my Lexa?"'In this life or the one before?' Lot said laughing.I shut him up and faced Kimberly. "She was a maid in my mansion for a few weeks and..." Oops. I just remembered that Alexa told me not to ever mention to her mother that she worked as a maid. I wanted to reverse my statement but when I looked at Kim, she didn't look surprised so I asked a question instead. "You... knew?"She smiled. "I always knew. Lexa was not so good at hiding things."I smirked. "That's true." Kim said nothing more but impatiently waited for me to go on. "I actually knew her a long time ago and when I saw her, old memories returned and since then we've been inseparable."She raised a curious b

Though I was just a child when my parents died, I always counted Miss Rica as my first mother. There was a point in time where I didn't remember their faces until Elliot revealed the truth about myself a month ago.But even till now, anytime I try to recall my real mother I only saw my Queen in my first life, not my mother in this life. I knew she'd be the same person anyway.Rica cared for me so much when I was brought into the orphanage. For someone with a bad memory, I remember the big smile and surprise she had when she saw me. And at the same time, the smile died and her face filled with worry as she came to hug me.She took me as her favourite instantly and I had no idea why. I was bullied everywhere I went because of the bite marks I had on my neck. Well, that was why I thought they always bullied me because that was the only imperfection I had.It was either that or they were just jealous of my prevailing beauty. I always tried to find a reason why I was so hated, I realised t

I gently removed the dress from my body, like it was the most expensive thing in the world. I neatly folded it while sitting on the king-sized bed and placed my dress on a silver table, along with everything else.The way I folded it reminded me of my mother, Kimberly. She told me that if I folded my clothes neatly then they'd look prettier when I wear them. I don't know how true but I still believed it.I was too tired to return them to their normal places. I was even to tired to call the maid. Besides, I didn't want to bother them so late at night. I wasn't heartless.The party was a dream come true. I had never felt so happy, safe and loved altogether so much in my life. Elliot was truly the best. I couldn't imagine my life, here on, without him. He wasn't a prince but he sure acted like my Prince.The door of the bathroom opened and Elliot appeared. He had pulled on a black showercoat and was rubbing a towel through his black longer hair. His red eyes sparkled as he did. I had nev

Lexa sharply turned to Elliot like he had committed a great sin. She stood up and stepped back, fearing for the worst to come."P-poisoned? By-by who?!"Elliot held her hand and placed her on the bench with minimal struggle. He noticed that when she was worried or her thoughts were scattered, she couldn't use her powers to the maximum.That explained how the nurses could move her away so easily. She still needed training.'Calm down, Alexa.'"Who would want to poison her?! Why?! She's already dying and yet she was... I'm gonna sue this hospital!" She turned her focus to the passing nurses and doctors, as well as the hospital itself. "How did my mother get poisoned?! Someone answer me!"Elliot had to drag her out of the hallway and into an unused room in the hospital but that didn't stop her from continually screaming. He placed her hand over her mouth and wouldn't stop unless she promised to.The colour of her green eyes had turned black. For a devil, he was terrified to see that. But

"She told him to stay away from him." I wanted to stand and run away but I was stuck to the chair and I couldn't budge either it or me. We were rooted in that position."I will no more listen to this nonsense! Release me!""I warned you about your mother's life being in danger."I calmed down and gazed at her in realization. "It was you?""But you didn't heed my words and he didn't listen to your mother." I was afraid of the next words she would say. "So he killed her."Everything she said was making sense but I couldn't find it in my heart to believe it. Elliot could never do such a thing. "He wouldn't...""That's why he tried to mate you early. When he couldn't, he killed her. He was afraid she would tell you and you would stay away from him. He even told the doctor not to investigate the matter. He doesn't love you, Lexa. It's an obsession!""No!" I screamed in terror."Question him! Find out for yourself!""No!" I continued screaming."When you've come to know the truth, you know
