CHAPTER 29

CHAPTER 29
VALERIA POV

“There was actually this guy who saw me at the party. At first, I realised he was with a woman but he kept looking at me. I didn't pay much attention until he suddenly winked at me. The truth is, I wasn't going to go but then he gave me a sign that I should leave and he would follow me.” Eleanor explained and we listened to her, paying attention to every detail.

“I thought he was a shy guy so I followed him but not the girls. We were talking in the corridor when he suddenly attempted to kiss my neck. Well, I didn't like that so I brushed his hand away and stood up to leave. You can't believe he actually cornered me and dragged me to the restroom.” Eleanor said and my eyes widened.

When I looked at Beatrice, she actually had the same expression as I did.

“He was so powerful and I had to fight back. I don't even know how it happened but the punch came from nowhere and he fell to his knees” Eleanor said and smiled. We already knew this part would be interesting.

“Then I saw this handsome guy. My dear, he is so tall. Exactly the kind of man I want” Eleanor said, cutting the story short.

“Hmm. So you kissed him?” I asked and she nodded giggling.

“He thought I was weak and carried me in a bridal style outside. I couldn't resist those pink lips and I found myself savouring the taste. He is very handsome but I didn't see him again last night.” Eleanor confessed.

“Wow. This story will definitely sell me if we can adapt it into a movie. What do you think, Beatrice?” I asked Beatrice.

“I Fell For The Guy Who Saved Me, that will be the title. It might be cliché but I know that with Eleanor inside it's going to be very interesting.” Beatrice and I couldn't hold back our laughter.

“I will definitely spend my last cent on it.” I jokingly added.

“But guys, it's not as if I am going to see him again,” Eleanor said.

“I think you are going to see him again. Did he kiss you back?” I asked her.

“Of course he did. I am a hot cake, remember.” Eleanor replied.

“And there were other hot cakes too. Don't flatter yourself.” Beatrice joked.

“Well. It seems we will be leaving today but we will be back next week for your wedding.” Eleanor chipped in.

“Are you being for real? So fast?” I asked and they nodded simultaneously.

“Yes. We don't want to part with you but we have no choice because the king only sent us the invitation to the party.” Eleanor informed me with a grumpy face.

It's clearly written in her eyes that she doesn't want to go now.

“We are going to make your wedding day memorable sweetheart. So let us go and freshen up.” Beatrice added and brushed her hair back with her hand.

“I will make sure you come two days before the wedding. We will take a tour around the castle so that you will see the beauty of the castle” I promise them.

“And believe me when I say I can't wait,” Eleanor said and they stood up. We need to go now.

“Alright, lovelies. Let me come with you.” I inform them.

“No.. You should take your bath and doll up. I am afraid many females will be competing right now to be in your position. Your husband is a hot cake girl!” She yelled and stood up from the bed.

“And I wonder who their kids will take after me. Is it me or you?” Eleanor asked jokingly.

“Come on Eleanor. You are not the one carrying the pregnancy.” Beatrice said and we burst into laughter.

“I will weed out anyone who poses a threat to you. We are going to make this work.” Eleanor said and I nodded.

“Thank you lovelies,” I said and saw them out of the room. Just in time, Father and Mother make their way towards me.

“We will be going in an hour, Val. Make sure you are a good girl.” Mother said and I nodded in appreciation.

“I will always be on my best behaviour, mother. Thank you so much.” I said and Father patted my shoulder lightly.

“You did well yesterday.” He said and I smiled. He was talking about the interview which actually went on smoothly.

Well, we were just pretending to everyone but Father can't know that.

They left and I quickly went inside the bathroom to freshen up. I wore a blue short dress with a flair and wore my heels. The maid didn't come today because they thought I was still with the king.

I looked left and right before stepping into the corridor.

“There you are!” I heard the familiar voice and I jumped in fright, my palm pressed to my lips.

Vance stepped in front of me with his eyes widened which was actually pure acting. “Oh shit.” He cursed under his breath.

“Did I scare you?” Vance asked and I peeled my hands away from my mouth

He is actually handsome this morning. Putting on a brown polo shirt and black pants. His hair was neatly combed while some fell in the corners of his eyes, perfecting his look.

“You don't have to exclaim that way. And besides I wasn't scared. I was just flustered because I didn't see anyone at first” I lied and he nodded with a proud smile.

“That means I can actually hide well.” He joked and continued. “What are you doing here?” I asked him and he winked at me.

“What do you think? Can you guess?” He asked and I shook my head walking. “I actually came here for you.” He confessed and rolled my eyes.

“Why would you do that?” I asked Vance.

“Because I realised you would be in your room and I was right.” I stopped in my tracks to face him and he did the same.

“You are walking fine which shows nothing happened between you and Xyrus last night…” I tiptoed and covered his lips with my palm before he could say anything more.

“People will hear you,” I said in a whisper and he raised his hand, his eyes filled with mischief.

How did he already know that? That was also the same thing Adelina said this morning.

I heard a door pull open and force Vance back, his back pressed against the wall.

“He is already waiting in the sitting room.” I heard the maid inform someone.

When I breathed in the familiar scent, it was actually Xyrus. I heard the echoing footsteps and I tried to hide from him.

My eyes widened when Vance pulled me closer, his hand on my waist and I gasped not expecting him to do that.

Lycan king Xyrus halted in his movements and I covered my mouth quickly.
