Laura pov
I laid on the bed, my eyes open as I stared up at the ceiling. I couldn't help but feel tired and confused. I felt like something was missing. I have yet to have a little discussion with Nicholas. It will give me a lot of ease in my mind and my heart if I get to talk to him.I stood up from the bed immediately, but just as I was about to come outside, one of the maids was already standing there with a smirk on her face.“'It's a good thing you woke up. I wanted to come and wake you up with boiling water on your face,” she said to me as I felt a bit frightened. How can she say something like that?How could she even think of threatening me this way? This is just so absurd. Like, is this how she plans on treating me? I really wish that our own would let everyone know that I am with him now. After all, it had been days going to weeks now and nothing has happened to me. Maybe the curse did not affect me.MaybDarius pov I know with those words I said to Laura, she was confused, but I did not care. She would come to like me anyways. After all, she seemed very nice and I know that one of these days, she would come up to me and embrace me. I stayed at her charming face as she smiled up with you. “'Thank you so much for the compliment. I really really appreciate it, but I have to go. I have lots of work to do, and I must not be late,” she said to me, as she gave the costume to me. I collected the attire and turned around like I was about to move, but surprised her by driving her inside the room and locking the door. she screamed and held to the door tightly like she wanted to leave. “'Do not be scared. I am not trying to take you or something. Okay? I am just being nice.” That is all I said to her. She lets go of the door handle and stands there holding to her arms together like she was trying to cage herself, maybe thinking I wa
Nicholas PovJust as I was about to give a formal introduction to the council members, mostly new rules who were not very familiar with Darius since he was not always in the Mansion and always ventured away from anything that had to do with the politics of the Mansion. I decided to just give a brief summary about why he is like that even though they all know that he's my stepbrother, but just then the door opened and Laura walked in with some beverage on a tree. She seemed to be shivering. Something was not right. I had already warned madam Betty not to do anything to her but yet it was like madame Betty refused to listen to me. She was beside her and was not saying anything. I kept silent and just then, Darius slowly removed my hand from his shoulder as he walked towards Laura. What was this? Does he even know her? Why would he just go to her? Oh. I slammed myself internally. Maybe he wanted to take a beverage from her, but I had no choice but
Nicholas Pov After the meeting, I could not help but be so patient for everything to be rounded up. I rushed quickly without even telling my partner anything. I rushed directly to Laura's room. She banged on the door continuously, but got no response. I banged continuously loudly, and just then, I felt somebody behind me. I turned around, and it was Laura. She seemed confused as she was holding on to her mopstick. She looked at me from head to toe. I clearly was in a panic mode. It was just so obvious. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. I can't let it happen. Why sit down in a meeting after what my partner had told me? I couldn't help but imagine so many things. I imagined what if she ends up with Darius . I cannot let that happen. It cannot even happen. All my imaginations should never come to pass. I can never let her be with him. He is just not the kind of person I plan to. And besides, she belongs to me. She's my wife. He cannot just come up from nowhere and then cla
Nicholas I was not going to let it go that way. I could not just keep silent while she said something like that to me, I moved closer to her as she dragged herself backward. "Please do not come close to me. I don't want to say anything or cause any problem. Okay?" she said to me. I was so confused. I did not know what to do anymore. Why was she acting this way? “ What did you mean by the moon goddess did not let you die? What do you mean? Did you plan on dying during the 2 weeks? Was that your plan to leave me? You wanted me to be traumatized. You wanted them to continue to call me the cost ," I said to her. She shook her head sideways. "No. That's not what I mean at all. That is not what I mean. I promise you. I am just saying that why am I still alive when every one of your wifes who stayed with you all died? Why am I still the only one here? There has to be a reason behind it, and I want to know the reason behind it more than anything in this world," she said to me. I couldn’
Nicholas Pov After waiting some minutes and my partner was still not back, I decided to go and get ready. I didn't want to be the reason why you will have to wait or anything that will have to make them complain that I stayed too long, I said to myself. I stood up and took off my shirt as I stared at the mirror in just my trousers on . There was nothing I could do. I just have to be there. After all, I am the and I don't think that can ever change. Just then, the door opened and my partner entered. I quickly rushed for my shed to put it on and that was when Laura walked in. I left the shirt back on the bed as she had already seen everything. She looked at me and then back to the ground. My partner rushed towards me and tapped me on the chest playfully. “'She is the one who can clean this room without telling anybody about it ,” he said to me and then rushed out. But just as he got to the door, he muttered a word that I could hear from where I was. “'You have to be quick. Okay?
I stared at my reflection in the mirror as I couldn’t help but feel so good about myself. If I cannot praise my mom for anything, I would always praise her for the fact that she always knows how to pick the perfect dress for each occasion for me. She had always done that right from the beginning. She always wanted me to look so perfect and this was just a perfect opportunity. As I stared at my reflection with a white smile on my face, I couldn’t tell but vision and it had beside me. I blinked my eyes for some while hoping that it would make me stop thinking about her, but I could still see her beside me. It frustrated me. I couldn’t help but think. “She is coming to the banquet with me. Right?“ But I was not sure. With the way she looked at me, I am not sure she would accept my offer and come. I don’t even think she would be allowed to go. The head maid looks like someone who is very very strict and I don’t plan on causing problem or coming here to take any superior against my b
“Who is she?” She asked again. Even if I didn’t want to say anything to my mother, I knew I had no choice. I had to tell her this particular thing. It was really important because if I tell her about Laura, maybe she would help me get Laura to be my escort for this little party she arranged. I tapped my mom on the shoulder as she turned to me. “Is there anything?“ I asked. “You who you are looking for, but you refused to say anything to me, and I don’t plan on forcing you,“ she said. I couldn’t help but chuckle as I summoned up the courage to tell her. “Just as I said to you, I’m in love with someone, but the only problem is this person I am in love with is in this Mansion. She is here, and I need your help to get her,“ I said to my mom. But something in her eyes, the way she gazed at me, it felt like she was not surprised. It made me a bit confused. I expected her to be surprised that I said something like this, but instead, I kept silent and just stood there. She immediately star
I rushed out of the room as I held my chest tightly, breathing heavily. I looked up and couldn't help but see my concerns out. "dear God, please don't tell me you are testing me because this test is just too much. I am confused right now, and I don't even know what to believe. Please don't test me." I muttered as I ran towards my room. I entered and shut the door immediately as I made sure the door was locked. I rushed to the bed and sat down recalling everything that just happened. "What is going on?" I gripped to my heart tightly, recalling everything that Darius had told me, how he acted towards me just now . Even Nicholas don’t act that way towards me. It seems like he was trying to test me, and this is not going to be the way I expected. How did they expect me to accept this and still be with Darius? It's just not possible. Darius is not even my bride, yet he's acting so nice to me. What if he's just trying to get me? What if it's a trap that was planned between , Nicholas,
