Danica
I couldn’t stop myself from holding him tight, squeezing him tight.

I felt so scared and he was the only person I’d been able to see since I got locked here in this h’ll.

“Danica” he called calmly, pulling me close as well.

Sobs racked my throat as I wept profusely on his shoulders.

“Hey; it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s fine”.he consoled and bit by bit, meticulously pulled me away from his shoulders.

“You’re here” I whimpered as I stared down at the floor, sniffling almost uncontrollably.

“I was…..I was so scared”.

He was silent for a few seconds, and I could read the pity in his eyes.

“My family… they should be looking for me”

“Your safety’s more important for now, Danica. You need to stay here until everything’s over” he replied.

“Everything’s over? But for how long? How long should I continue hiding here – alone?” My fears increased.

He sighed and stared downwards.

“I brought you some food. Felt you might be hungry. Come on; you should take a seat and eat” he walked away from me, going to set the food on a dusty table in the room.

I sniffed and followed him. G©sh! My entire system was so weak already. I felt debilitated.

We sat, facing each other and he opened the foods he brought.

“Thank you” I mumbled and began eating.

***************

Bitna
I sat on the bed with mum, weeping my eyes out, but she couldn’t even console me. She tried all she could, but none of it could help my tears.

I was going to lose her – lose everything I have. And it’s all going to be because of Danica – someone I never asked to see.

Why did I have to encounter her in the first place? Why did it have to happen to me?

More tears spilled my eyes and dropped on mum’s palms which were holding mine.

“Bitna….”She was about saying when the door suddenly went open, revealing dad.

I sniffed and looked at him.

“Honey, Kim is here with the police. She’s here to take Bitna” dad said and I flinched.

Oh my God!

“Whaat??” Mum sprang on her feet.
“The hell, she can’t do that. What does she even think she’s doing??”

“I’m sorry….but she got a statement from the judge. Bitna has to go with her now, while I go over and collect Danica. The exchange has to happen”. He answered and more tears streaked my cheeks.

I turned ruefully and looked at mum, shaking my head.

“Mum please …dont let her take me away. Please” I sniveled, and for the first time, I could see the helplessness in mum’s eyes.

She wasn’t going to help me.

“Bitna, come on…” Dad came closer and held my arm.

“Let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to leave… please” I cried more.

“Stop doing this, Bitna. And try to accept everything, okay? It’s gonna be fine” he said pathetically, but his words only angered me the more.

How could it ever be fine when I was losing everything I had? The luxurious life I had? How?

“I don’t want to leave..” I whimpered to myself and he sighed.

“The police might have to come in soon, Bitna. Is that what you want? Do you want them to drag you away?”

“Oh! Williams, please. You need to stop installing more fear in her”. Mum ch¡pped in, her voice cracking.

“Well, that’s exactly what would happen Maya, if she doesn’t come with me now. She needs to leave. I understand it’s not easy, but it has to happen. Her parents are to be blamed for all these” he said hoarsely and I felt a skip in my heart.

What?

I lifted my teary eyes to look at him.
“My parents?” He’s already trying to put the blame on me? Comparing me with them speaking with so many hate?

Of course, I should’ve known. This man never liked me.

I stood up angrily from the bed and went out of the room.

“Bitna! Bitna” mum came calling after me and caught up with me on the stairs.

I turned and hugged her, burying my tearful face on her chest.

“I don’t want to go, mum. Is it so difficult to ask?” I whimpered.

“Bitna, I’m so sorry. I wish I could help” she said ruefully and that was when I knew nothing else could be done.

Oh God! I was doomed.

Dad came out as well.

“Bitna, come on. You need to leave right away” he held my hand and took me away from mum.

Mum sat on the staircase, burying her face in her palms and unable to look at me again.

“Mum…” I whimpered, but she didn’t try to look at me.

“Mum…” I kept calling as dad took me away.

Duri
“So, Eric is currently in coma?” Mum asked as I sat with her at the dining.

“Yes. And my next target is Nathan. Then, Jimmy” I answered and she nodded in satisfaction.

Well, it had all been her idea.

“I still wonder why it’s so difficult finding the 12th disciple, tho” she said.

“I wonder if she’s truly dead, or still alive. It shouldn’t be this difficult”.

“Don’t worry about it, mum. Either ways, I’m still going to make sure we win in the end”.

My phone awakened with a ring and taking a look at the caller, I discovered it was one of the Royal guards – one of the Queen’s guards.

I picked up immediately.

“My prince” he called. “I’ve got some great news for you.

“It seems the Queen has found the 12th disciple. Prince Nathan knew about it and the Queen suspects he’s somehow, protecting her. So, she asked me to keep an eye on him and follow him secretly. And this morning, I followed him to an old house where I believe he went to see someone because he had some bags with him.

“My prince, I strongly believe that’s the 12th disciple”. He enthused and my eyes beamed.

What??? She’s been found???

“Are you… sure about this?”I asked, curiously.
Mum was also staring into my face.

“I’m sure, my prince. Normally, I should be giving this information to the Queen. But you know, I work for you – not her” he answered with a grin and excitement clouded me.

“What’s going on, Duri?” Mum asked.

Danica
After eating to my fill, the prince directed me to the tiny bed in the room to get some rest.

How did he get this room in the first place? Everything looked so small and creaky.

I laid on the bed and the prince sat next to me, his hand on my hair.

“I’ll need to leave soon, Danica” he said calmly. “I wouldn’t want to ar-use any form of suspicions.

I didn’t say a word.

“I’m really sorry you have to go through this” he continued.
“I’m sorry for the pains you’re facing and I sincerely wish there was something else to do”.

A short silence stepped in again. Then, I asked:

“My bl©©d is needed to save your father, right?”

“Yes. And not just that, but currently, he’s put it as a task amongst the princes. The first prince to get him the 12th disciple, becomes the crowned prince”. He replied and m heart skipped a bit.

“So, why are you helping me?” I whispered.
“You’re throwing two things away – your father’s health, and your chances of becoming the crowned prince. Why would you do it for me?”

He was silent for a long while, and it made me more curious.

I lifted my head to look at him and our eyes locked.

Then, in a tender tone, he answered:
“I don’t know, Danica. I guess you make me confused”.

His voice was so soft, I almost couldn’t hear him. My eyes searched his for more answers because I was confused as well.

“My prince….” I muttered and to my greatest surprise, he locked his l-ips on mine.

Danica
My heart skipped when I felt his l-ips on mine.

Oh my God! Whaat??

I couldn’t breathe as his tongue went into mine, making me feel more confused.

I gasped and forced myself to pull away from the kss, unable to control it any further.

“My prince….!” I called breathlessly, my heart racing heavily.

I tried sitting up so I could move away, but he pulled me close instead and resumed the kss.

I traced my hand to his chest and thought of pushing him away, but somehow, I couldn’t.

He trailed his hands to my back and I gasped even in the kss when I felt him there.

He unlocked from the k-ss but didn’t let go of me and instantly, he came ontop of me.

Oh my God! What’s happening? This shouldn’t be happening. I’m not… I’m not ready for this – not after what Scott did to me. What if Nathan does it to me as well?

The prince’s breath was erratic on my face as he laid so close to me, eating into the hollows of my neck.

“No… stop” I spoke in a wavering tone.

I wasn’t sure he heard me because it didn’t change anything as he remained still on me, his hands lifting my legs apart.

“My prince… wait…. Just stop”. I said again and I think that was the one he suddenly heard because he stopped and looked into my face.

“What is it?’ he asked, his voice almost a whisper.

I gulped hærd and tried not to look into his face.

“I…I can’t. I don’t think I want to do this” I said in deep breaths.

“Why? What’s wrong?” I could hear the disappointement in his voice.

“I don’t…I don’t want to. You might do it to me as well” .

“Do what?”
He was still laying on top of me.

A tear came rolling down my cheek and I sniffed and tried getting him off my body, but couldn’t.

“Do what, Danica? What’re you talking about?” He said goadingly and I was forced to spill it out.

“The same thing…he did to me” my tone wavered again. ‘
“I don’t want to get used and dumped again. Please…”

I could feel his surprise.

He huffed and leaned his forehead on mine, his hand still holding my legs.

He was silent and didn’t make a move for a while and I became relieved, bit by bit.

But suddenly, in a low tone, he whispered:
“You won’t”.

And with that, I felt his hand slide into my skirt.

“Hah!” I gasped when it reached my pnt.

He reached for the tip and began pulling it down.

Oh my God!

“My prince…” I called helplessly.
Is he really doing this?

Well, of course. How wouldn’t he, when he was trying to gather enough evidence for the stupid bet?

More reasons I felt so scared about what the prince was doing.

I shivered when I felt something cold. Oh my God! This was really happening.

*****************

I felt dazed. I opened my bleary eyes and felt myself still lying on the bed, alone and weak.

My head felt a little hot as well.

I spread my hand to the side and confirmed I was really the only one in bed. I was alone. The prince…. Where was he?

I looked and found a note on the bed; a written note. And I picked it up to have a look. As expected, it was written by the prince:

“Sorry, I had to leave. Didn’t wanna wake you up. My mum was calling for me and I had to go to her to avoid suspicions. I hope you’ll be fine? I promise to be back before evening.

“Thanks”.

Unexplainably, I felt my cheeks turn all red as I read it. Good Lord!

I dropped the note on the bed and cupped my chin in my hands as the previous memories came replaying into my head.

We did it- and I still couldn’t believe it.

After the promise I made to myself, I still couldn’t believe I’d be breaking it any time soon.

But the prince…
Oh, God! How did it even happen?

I stayed on the bed for a long time, and after a while, decided to clean up. The prince had gotten some clothes for me.

I stood up and went to where the clothes were kept, took out the one I wanted and wore it on. And immediately, I heard a knock on the door.

I froze. Who could it be?

I arched my brows and looked at the door. The prince said he wasn’t going to be back, not untill evening. So, who could be at the door?

And the area was kind of des**ted, I wasn’t sure they could be any neighbors around.

The knock came again, but I still couldn’t move and shockingly, the door went open. I startled.

An image showed up, right in front of the door. And my eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when I saw it was the prince!

Prince Duri!
