She was in Noah’s office staring at the floor.“If you would keep staring there I am afraid your eyes would bore a hole in my office floor.”She heard his amused voice and looked up. He was smiling looking at her, waiting for her to speak.“You requested to meet me. I am sorry I could not get to you earlier because of my busy schedule.” He stated.I don’t know about my eyes, but your eyes would definitely bore a hole in my face. Hazel thought to herself.“There is some misunderstanding Prince Noah.” She stood from her seat and gave him her phone over the office desk.  He frowned while taking it, not understanding a thing. “I got this message from the bank. Somebody deposited this money in my account.” She sat again, “This doesn’t belong to me, Prince. I don’t know who this person is.”“This person is ME H

“Are you planning to leave tonight Sir?” Albik who was packing his bags asked him busily. “No Albik. I don’t want anyone to suspect that we are planning to escape.” That stopped Albik from doing his master’s packing. “But wasn’t your plan to do it …” Albik had to stop when he saw his master shaking his head. “No Albik. Not here. She might get into trouble because of me. Let them transfer us to the other city for the treatment then I will escape from there. Just make sure that we reach there before my birthday.” “Sure Sir.” He bowed his head and started packing the bags again. “Albik. Thank you.” Albik turned to him, his brows knitted questioningly. “For being there for me. For staying with me and not giving up on me.” Albik knew something was bothering his master. And that something was ‘the girl’. “Well I guess, I was not the only one who stayed beside you.” There was mischief in Albik’s voice which made him smile. “I

“The coach showed us the training map. Right? We just need to work on it guys!” They all were sitting in the palace game room.“Sam, You need to work on your dribbling. Just practice different moves to take on and attack defenders.” Noah said while picking his cocktail glass from the tray.“I don’t know what happens to me in the field. In practice sessions, I do fine but …” Sam was half sitting on the couch, his head rested against Tomah.“Practice Sam. Lots of practice. Be prepared for all the screaming and cheering. You lose your confidence around it.” Gavin tried to explain while sipping from his fruit punch.“Hey, Sam. Ask your siblings to cheer for you while you practice.”  A friend tried to quip and everybody started roaring with laughter but the boy whose name was Sam was all cool about it.He had eleven siblings and twelfth was on the way.“Spare him

Juggling between her school, her projects, and then the baby she used to try to keep herself busy without any success to forget him. What are you doing Zek? Are you getting the treatment? Do you miss me? Do you remember a girl who was almost invisible to people who were blessed with healthy eyes? Would you act the same way Zek? Once you would get back would you find a way to come back to me? Before you come back I would make sure to earn enough money for both of us. Of course, if you would be healthy enough to earn a living for us, Zek. But right now I need to find a way. I have to find a way to return the money to Prince Noah. But how? Even if I would get a pretty decent job I would never be able to pay back.  She stood up and opened the cupboard. Zek’s jacket was still hanging there, the one he gave her on their first meeting. She took it out and tried sniffing it. His faint fragrance was still lying there.  

(Two Years later: Zella) She reached home and placed her bag on the couch. She knew Ivy must be busy packing the shampoo bottles so she tiptoed towards the kitchen only to find her in Tyler’s arms. They both were kissing each other passionately. With a chuckle, she cleared her throat. They both jumped up. Ivy started to put some distance while Tyler pulled her back to him. Ivy was blushing not meeting her eyes. Tyler and Ivy became friends one year ago when she needed bottles in bulk. He offered himself for not only bringing bottles but also all the supplies for the shampoo at the lowest prices possible. At first, they both did not want to trust him. But later not only trust but a friendship started building among them. He was a widow with no children and once helped Ivy to take Chris to the hospital when he got himself injured. Tyler stayed there with her and assisted in handling the bills and technicalities. Though Hazel had
