Lina hated parties. She despised gatherings. And especially disliked networking events. The thought of putting herself out there with a fake smile and fake personality repulsed her. She wanted to do nothing but curl up in a library and read her books. But that wasn't going to get her the chairwoman position. That'd only go to prove her grandmother right. "You're not going?" Lina asked. The dress had finally arrived a few days later. Sure enough, Jay had performed beyond her wildest imagination. If…-

Lina should've known what kind of man Kaden was. She thought he'd just sit back, play with his phone, and say every outfit looked great on her. But he didn't. He was engaged throughout the entire ordeal. He gave insightful comments on the color and the cut of the dress. He told her which material would feel most comfortable. "Give me a little twirl, dove," Kaden said. Lina glanced at the sales associate and designer in the private VIP dressing room. Even though the associate was supposed to be…

"Ow…" Lina tried to play it off. "I stubbed my foot on the table." Atlantis could barely see straight. He shot out of his chair. The chair flew back from the impact, nearly shattering the glass windows behind him. He breathed heavily. All he could picture was that disgusting man's hands all over her innocent body. "A-anyway," Lina managed to gasp out. "I have to go." "Wait, are you—" "I'm coming," Lina blurted before hanging up the phone. Kaden let out a soft laugh, before it erupted…

There were times in Lina's life where she realized how small the world was. She needed to meet Atlantis, and coincidentally, shortly after a bath, she received a call from him. She began to appreciate how every moment of a person's life was connected to another, and that another was connected to someone else. The entire world was a web of connections. The call occurred when Kaden took his shower not long after she got out of her bath. He had given her a sweet massage prior to her soak, but did not enter…

Lina could not understand the extent of human greed. Or was it even human? She heard ringing in her ears, whether it was from disbelief or detachment from the situation. Lina realized the world was continuing around her. Kaden was saying something to Holton. The rug was being yanked beneath her feet. Not because she was hurt by the King of Wraith's decision or the revelation about Atlantis job. But, from the history that was fated to repeat itself. "Lina?" Holton said. Lina jolted back to reality.…

Although Lina's interaction with Hazel was little to none, she couldn't help but think of the girl during the entire meal. Something about Hazel told Lina it was how Kaden found closure. Hazel's personality was nothing like the Eighth Princess, but maybe Kaden reconciled over his emotions. Soon, Lina finished with her meal. She took a quick shower using his products, snooped through her suitcase for clothes to wear, and then, got dressed. She got ready in record time. Afterward, she made her way…

Lina eventually lost track of time. She was exhausted from their activities and spent the rest of her morning in bed, fast asleep. He drained her of all her energy, but filled her thoroughly. She reminded herself to take the morning-after pill and begin birth control. Deep in her slumber, Lina felt a gentle caress on her head. She hummed in response, nudging into her soft and silky pillow. Then, her eyes snapped open. She was surprised. Now that she thought about it… her clairvoyance! "Did I…

Kaden controlled his nerves. It had been a while since he last laid with a woman. In fact, its been hundreds of years. He was careful with her body. She felt like glass in his hands and he was terrified of shattering her. "Open your legs for me," Kaden gently urged her. Kaden placed a hand on her thigh and guided her. He settled himself between her legs, peering down at her. His breathing became uneven at her beauty. She was gorgeous. There weren't enough words in the world to describe her.…

Lina could barely hide her red face when he carried her from the car to the master bedroom. She had to cover her face to not be embarrassed. Even his servants were shocked. They had momentarily frozen, almost as if they had forgotten to bow and greet him. She wondered why. "W-what are you doing?" "Pleasing you," he responded. "Not like this—" "But you seem to be enjoying it," he rebutted. "Well, I just—ah!" Kaden smirked at their provocative conversation. He was on his knees,…

Lina shivered at the sudden dip in temperature. She rubbed her forearms. Instantly, she felt more warmth. Kaden wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close to his heated body. She shifted her head to him, surprised. "Are you cold, dove of mine?" Kaden murmured. Kaden pressed a chaste kiss to her forehead. Her chilly cheeks flushed. He smiled upon her skin and shifted back. Cute. "Let's get you home, dove," Kaden added in a tender voice. Lina's heart fluttered from his kind gesture. She simply…
