I looked at Nora one more time and she had a very, very angry look on her face as she and Darius’ fiance walked away. I placed my head gently on Nicholas's shoulder as I thought of everything Nora had said today. None of the things hurt me more than the fact that she had to bring Darius’ fiance. I am more than sure that Darius does not know that his fiance is here and if he is to find out his mom brought her just to make this difficult for me. He would definitely cause problems and be angry with his mother. But that was none of my business. At least now I know that I have to stay away from Darius or else there will be a battle and fight between me and this woman and I don't want that. I don't want a situation whereby I will be seen as somebody fighting for two brothers. I am more than enough with my position right now. I continued to think about everything I did not know when Nicholas had already got into my room as he opened the door and slowly walked towards the bed and laid me on
What exactly is going on? I cannot just understand what exactly is going on. What is even happening? Why can't I seem to stop Nora from every nonsense tick act? She is acting in this Mansion. She's acting like she owns everything. She has forgotten that she's no longer the queen of this park anymore. I think I need to make that clear to her. How dare she try to enjoy Laura. Not because I always act like I don't care about Laura means that she could just act this way. I would never accept it no matter what. I would not just accept that she acts this way too. Laura, I have to do something. There is something I need to do. I will not just let her go scot free. I thought to myself as I paced back and forth in my room. Just then, Madame Betty rushed in in a panic. “You called for me, Nicholas?” she said.I looked at her angrily and the wine glass in my hand. I slammed it on the ground as it shattered into pieces. Madame Betty screamed in fright. I walked slowly towards her and gripped he
I woke up the next morning feeling a bit tired and so much pain in my feet as I looked down only to see that it was already wrapped all around with bandage and I still was not able to move it. I'm not really sure I broke an ankle. I think I actually broke my leg entirely because it was so painful. Just then I had a quick flashback of everything that happened last night and how Maya had taken care of me. Despite the fact that I kept pushing her away and shouting, she still made sure to do everything for me. I felt a little bit of pity and thought about the fact that maybe she was not actually pretending. I wanted to be my friend, but that was not just enough reasons for me to allow her do whatever she wanted. I slowly dragged myself to sit on the bed as I ran my hands through my face to make my sleepy mood clear off. I have a lot of work to do today. I even have to clean Nicholas's room, which is like the most difficult work for me to do right now, but anyways I need to get to it as f
As I slowly found my way back into the room, I could not help but believe what was actually going on. Did I hear Nicholas correctly? Did I hear the maids correctly? Because I don't think this is possible. He can't possibly say that “Laura is no longer sleeping.” This Mansion, the minute he annuls her position as a slave, it strengthens my position as the leader. And I don't think I'm ever stepping down for him. I am trying my very best to make Darius the Boss, and I can't step down for Nicholas, no matter what.As I staggered my way through the hallway and towards my bedroom, I couldn't help but think about so many things. How can I possibly navigate this issue? How can I make sure that I come out of it without any problem? I opened my bedroom door and slowly shut it down. As I sat on the bed thinking about everything I heard, I was clearly hearing very well when I heard Nicholas yell at Madame Betty, telling her that “nothing must happen to Laura,” giving them an authority that I am

I don’t know why he keeps acting this way. I don’t know why he sees it in him to act like he cannot. “Take away this position from his brother. Why are you acting like this, Darius? I think you want us to end. Things this way, right? You want it to be this way. You want us to be forgotten in this Mansion. Let nobody even remember our name. Let nobody recall us anymore.” I think that is what you want, right? That is what you would like right now. “And I know it will make you so happy when you get to see it that we are pushed out of this Mansion. Laura takes over. I never even expected you to behave this way. I never even expected you to act this calm when Nicholas played with your mind, made you think that Laura was a nobody so you could fall in love with her.” “All those things, you already forgive him for it, like it is nothing.” I said to Darius, hoping he would listen to me. But he continued to shake his head sideways. “Mom, you can never force me to change. You can never tel
I know that I am not supposed to listen to any words my mother said. And I've already vowed to myself that I would not listen to anything she said. Instead, I would do what my mind sets me to do. But something about the way she sounded last night made me a bit worried. It felt like she could see it, that we were going to lose our position as a royal family. But I know that can never happen because we are actually going to be a royal family for as long as possible after I have left the position as the Boss to Nicholas. “So why else would he want to dePosition my mother from being the Leader? Why can’t he just marry Laura Podoon, make her the Leader?” What is so special about that position that he wants to take it away from my mom? But thinking about it on and on, I couldn't help but be worried. Thinking and wondering what could possibly happen to my mom's position. “What would happen to all her dreams? I know how much she loved being in the royal family. How much she had worked jus
“How can they just come to me and expect me to believe whatever they say?” Yes, it has been hours now and I have not been doing any single work. They’ve changed my room from the usual slave quarters to now one of the concubines quarters, I guess, because I could not understand why I was taken to a better and higher grade. That was actually none of my business because I don’t really care much. I just want to be out of this place as soon as possible, because I don’t want to be forcing anything. And I know that Madame Betty is aiming at something for saying that I am now privileged and in a higher position. “It makes no sense to me.” I don't even care now. I am not allowed to eat in the kitchen with the meat anymore. They seemed to be acting so awkward, and they had given me a special place to eat, even though it was not part of the royal family. I had my dinner in silence, thinking about how everything was going. I have not seen Nicholas for some days now, and that made me a bit worri
After Nicholas had finally succeeded in “humiliating me and doing exactly what he wanted.” Davios could not even do anything. All those things “pissed me off so badly.” But I could not say a word and instead just pretended and kept silent. Of course, I cannot say a word yet because I have no right. “Again.” He literally stripped me of all my rights right there in my presence. I cannot even say anything or even do anything. Even when I tried to talk to him, the council members immediately signaled for me to sit down. “Want to be in the Mansion and if I still want to be respected, I had no choice but accept what he wants.” I felt so angry. I felt like I was about to run mad. This was not how I planned it, but definitely, I know that one thing. “I’d actually succeeded.” Darius had finally made everything so obvious to me. He had finally made everything work perfectly for me. Because I know that he looked very angry and vengeful the last time we were having a discussion. “And I know he'
Watching them all argue together, I couldn't help but feel so sad and heartbroken. I never wanted it to turn out like this. I never wanted Darius and Nicholas to end up fighting each other no matter what, because I just wanted them to be at peace with each other. But none of that was happening. I just had to sit there like a stone and watch them argue and hate each other. And I know that this was all the plan of Nora. It was more than obvious that Nora was the one doing all this. I could see it in the way she smiled when she looked at me. It was like she was signaling me that her plans were working out just the way she wanted it to. And I could not do anything about it. Even Darius looked at me with pity. But I was not able to even make a move because I don't want to offend Nicholas in any way. And the only way to be on his good side is by silently sitting down there and watching. “Give me that position. I did not want that position no matter what.” It was soon time for the counci
Standing up against Nicholas. I know it was a really bad thing now, something I'm not supposed to do. But I know that I have to do it because I have to at least show it to my mother that I'm ready to protect her and I'm ready to stand by her. But if I am not able to stand up for her, then she would continue to see me as somebody who is weak for my brother. And I am really not like that. I turn my attention back to Nicholas and make sure that my frown was deep enough for him to realize that I was really angry with him. “You cannot just take away my mother's position like that. I know that that's what she wanted to do since everyone was whispering about it, everyone was literally talking about it. Even the males were already pointing it out that you don't want my mother to be the Leader anymore. And I would not just accept that. At least think of it. Laura is not even ready to become a Leader. If you ask her a million times, she doesn't want it,” I said to Nicholas, hoping he would li
Once the meeting was already about to commence, I couldn't help but anticipate waiting for Nicholas to make that one mistake that will make Darius finally side with me. And he did it. He cleared his throat and stood up from the Position as everyone bowed to him. He looked so angry, but his gaze was still on Laura. As his gaze on Laura seemed a bit softened, I knew that something was definitely about to happen. I could not wait. Despite the fact that I was going to lose my Leader position anytime soon, I still could not wait and was anticipating what he was going to do to me. How he was going to betray his brother by taking away the one thing that makes me a royal in this Mansion. I stood. I sat down and watched as he began his speech. “Thank you everyone for showing up here. I am really grateful that you guys came here at this time and the fact that you guys have been patient with me enough despite the fact that I never wanted to have another Partner because of what have always happ
Laura was not "rejecting it because she liked being poor." She was "rejecting me because she was slowly losing feelings for me." This was clearly all Darius's fault. It made me so angry that I rolled my hand into a fist, hiding it behind me so she would not see it and think maybe I am angry at her thinking about everything. I felt so angry at Darius I just wanted to crush his head into pieces. But I can't do that. Instead, I'm going to get to Leader Nora. I would make sure that Nora lets go of that position as the Leader. She's going to give it to Laura no matter what. There is nothing Laura will tell me. I guess for me to do this and for my plan to work out, I don't need to tell Laura anymore. Instead, I just need to put it into action. I looked at Laura with a smile and placed my hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to worry, Laura. I won't stress you too much anymore and I won't bother you. I see that you don't want it and I don't plan on forcing it on you. I don't want to force
I don't know why, but no matter what I do, Laura "does always find a way to annoy me." She "always looks for a way to piss me off." She "always does things that would make me want to yell at her, want to yell at her angrily." And now I don't know what to do. I feel so frustrated. I can't believe I am clearly giving her a higher position and she's dragging with me that she "does not want to take that position and wants to go back to the slave quarters." I know I wasn't supposed to yell at her the way I did, but I don't have a choice. She just makes me so angry and so frustrated these few days that I don't know what to do. I watched her being harassed by Leader Nora, unable to control myself. Now I am taking away Leader Nora's position and giving it to her, yet she is pissing me off this way. I know how many ladies "would die for that position I am giving to her that she keeps rejecting." I know how many ladies "would want everything I am giving to her, but yet she's still doing this t
