SAVE ME

“What? Lord Damien actually said that?” Karina exclaimed as Alexa narrated the story of what happened on the roof to them.

Alexa nodded her head.

“So what? What did you say?”Josty asked.

“Well..”Alexa said recalling her response.

She’d suddenly removed her hand from Damien’s as she scoffed”There you go lying again. What? You actually loved me? Please cut it out”

Damien grabbed her shoulders”Do I look like I’m playing with you?”

As Alexa stared at him, her tears rolled down her cheeks”You don’t love me”

“You aren’t in charge of how I feel, Alexa”

“If you did, you won’t be doing this”

Damien wrinkled his brow in confusion”What do you mean?”

“You want to end your engagement with Queen Gezelle? do you know how bad that would make me look? Everyone would gossip about me and Queen Gezelle won’t just let that slide”

Damien smirked”Are you more scared of Gezelle than me?”

Alexa looked away from him”You wanted my reply, didn’t you?” She looked back into his eyes”No, I don’t want to have anything to do with you”

Alexa shook her head as she finished recalling the event”What did you expect me to say? Obviously I turned him down. I can’t imagine giving into his words and then going to see Queen Gezelle tomorrow”. Alexa shivered at the mere thought of it.

She threw herself down on her bed”I’m going to sleep before I get any other ‘unexpected’ visitors”

Alexa closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep.

Karina pouted her lips”Poor, Alexa. She’s going through alot”

“Tell me about it”Josty said”Should we tell Nana?”

“Are you insane!”Celine shouted”How could you think about that?”

“Well, Nana can-”

“There’s no need to bring Nana into this. We are the ones who brought her into this mess and we’ll get her out” Celine looked from Josty to Karina”And no one is saying one word about this to Nana, is that taken?”

Karina and Josty nodded their heads.

“Let’s sleep now”Celine said turning off the lights.

In the demon realm, Damien locked himself in the basement downstairs as he breathed out fire from his mouth.

She turned him down. He couldn’t believe it. Does that mean she was going to marry Fa-

Upon thinking of his name, his anger heightened as he punched the wall of the basement making the walls to collapse.

The sound of the collapse echoed round the realm awakening Valdir and his wife Mariana.

“Honey, did you hear that?”Mariana asked.

“I’m sure it’s just an earthquake, sleep”Valdir replied sleepily.

Five hours later, the sun started to shine illuminating itself in the basement and upon Damien.

He hadn’t slept till last night. He was too angry to sleep.

With that feeling of rage burning within him, he angrily left the basement and headed to the vampire’s realm.

In the vampire’s realm, Faren paced to and fro as be stared down on his phone.

Wasn’t she going to call?” Just how long did she need to think about it?”

Marisol who was watching him from upstairs, descended with a food tray in her hand.

“Your plan seemed to be going fine before. Is something wrong?”

Faren shook his head”No, it’s Nothing”

Faren watched as Marisol placed the food tray on the dining table.

“That’s alot of food”Faren said

“Yes. Father told me to invite Greg so I did”

Greg is Marisol’s husband. They’d been married for two years and had a baby girl.

Greg is a notable vampire. He was hardly ever around in their marital home as he was always on duty protecting their realm whenever a war occured.

The last war was between the vampires and the dragons and that was over a year ago.

Faren nodded his head”Still, we are going to be just 4. That’s still alot of food”

Marisol smiled at Faren”See this as a gift as your plan was a success”

Faren blushed”That’s far fetch. She hasn’t responded to me yet”

Faren’s chamber door flung wide open as Damien strode in and pushed Faren against the wall.

“What game are you playing, Faren?”

“What do you mean?”

“Alexa… marriage?”

Faren smirked”So you’ve heard. Have you given us your blessings?”

“Over my dead body!”

“But why? You said she wasn’t important to you, remember?”

Damien pushed Faren aside as he grumbled”What do you want?”

Faren smirked”Everything I could ever want, Damien is right Infront of me. You boiling in rage, you watching me get married to the woman you love is everything I’ve always wanted”

Damien scoffed”Liar”

He raised his index fingers as he slid the red ring from his finger.

“I’ll give this to you, how’s that?”

Marisol who had been watching all along gasped as her eyes widened in shock.

Damien was willing to give the ‘Ring of authority’ to Faren. Just who exactly is this girl?

Anyone with the ‘Ring of authority’ is as good as being the king of Ava land.

Take it Faren. Marisol thought. Don’t do anything stupid.

“So what will it be?”Damien asked.

Faren looked at the ring. If he had this, then father would see him worthy of being called his son.

Faren sighed as he walked towards Damien.

He reached out his hand to take the ring “Fine, the marriage won’t-”

The ring was taken from Damien’s hand by a third party.

Both Damien and Faren turned to see who it was and was stunned to see Alexa standing there.

“Alexa, i-“Faren started but Alexa hushed him.

“Don’t. I don’t have your time now” she turned to face Damien in anger”Let’s go”

Alexa took Damien’s hand as they went outside.

When they got outside, Alexa couldn’t contain her anger anymore”Are you insane?! Why would you give Faren your ring?!”

“I had to protect you, Alexa! Did you hear what he said back there? He’s just trying to use you to get to me”Damien held her hands shakingly”Please, don’t marry him”

“So what? What if he’s using me? Why would you give your ‘Ring of authority’ to him?! Don’t you know how important this is?!”Alexa shouted raising up the ring.

“And I don’t care. I would give up a whole lot more for you!”

Alexa looked away from Damien as tears formed in her eyes.

When she looked back at him, Damien was alarmed to see her in tears.

“W-Why are you crying?”Damien asked shakingly as he brushed her cheeks “Sh*t, I’ve done it again. I always find a way to make you cry, I’m sorry”

“Why do you keep making this difficult for me, Damien?”Alexa asked in tears”You wanted me to say the word? I love you too. I want to be with you so badly too”

Damien’s eyes widened in shock. He didn’t even realize that he was crying too.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“I promise to make you happy, Alexa. You can trust me, I’ll take care of everything”

He hugged her as they both sobbed softly in eachother’s arms

Meanwhile in the demon realm as Gezelle sat by the dining with the tea all set, she checked her watch for the umpteenth time.

She was late. 30 minutes late at that.

“Amelia!”

Amelia rushed out”Yes, my queen”

“Did you deliver my envelope last night?”

“Yes, my queen. Lady Alexa took the envelope from my hand”

“Then why isn’t she here!!!?”Gezelle roared.

Gezelle stood up from the dining table as she paced to and fro.

The door to the realm opened as Damien strode in.

Gezelle’s eyes widened as Damien seemed to be approaching her.

She backed away at each step he took closer to her.

“W-what is it?”Gezelle stuttered.

Damien looked at the engagement ring on her index finger as he removed it.

“What are you doing, Damien!?”

Damien threw the ring on the floor as it scattered and broke into a million tiny pieces.

“Now, there’s nothing keeping us together”Damien said before walking out of Gezelle’s sight as she slowly crashed to the floor picking up the tiny fragments of the ring.

She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Alexa! She was going to kill her!
