Ann pov


    I found myself in a dark world, staring like a lost sheep, I couldn’t fathom the environment I was in.


    My feet were cold, I was shivering yet I felt fire on my skin, my lips trembled uncontrobly and when I rubbed my fingers against my dress, I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow.


    “Who is there?” I wanted to say but my voice hitched in my throat, and a surging of pain in there.


    Suddenly I felt the atmosphere getting tensed, the hair on my body standing at their will, a deadly presence behind me.


    I turned to look, and I saw a demon withrge canine teeth whose appearance was more like a berserk vampire trying to inject me, and I screamed.


    My eyes flew open and shut back at that instant a sudden sh.


    “Where am I?” I shook myself but couldn’t lift a limb.


    My hands seem to be heavy yet devoid of strength. I tried to bring it closer to my face but it seemed stuck to a surface.


    I felt cold. My heart is cold, almost frozen.


    Somehow I heard my name, a familiar voice. I forced open my eyes to see sugar.


    “Take water Ann, I’m d you’re back to life.” She whispered, forcing the narrow edge of a gourd into my mouth.


    I couldn’t even open my mouth, she forced them apart and poured the water in. The water got in my nose and head, and I couldn’t control the urge not to cough cause I was choked.


    She broke down in tears. “I’m sorry sis that you have to pass through this.” She apologized as if she was responsible for my misfortune.


    I couldn’t utter a word, I stared at her dumbly but with thousands of appreciation and constion words in my heart to her.


    “Stay strong.” She leaned to nt a kiss on my forehead, then dashed off.


    It was winter already, no wonder the reason I was cold to my heart.


    I was bare in my natural form, thend under my feet were piles of ice, a sharp edge of it already pierced through my feet.


    My head dropped down in surrender, o couldn’t keep it up again.


    “Hmph!” A voice scoffed at my face.


    I recognized the voice but I couldn’t look up.


    “You thought you could gain ess to my man? Isn’t it?”


    “Highest joke of the day, I’m d heaven is punishing you on my behalf. Instead of me having your stinking blood at my hands, I’m d a vixen is doing my job.”


    ” Dear sister, it isn’t my fault that you were begotten by mother’s maid, it was your stupid mother’s fault to have not terminated you while you were in her womb.”


    My breathing wasn’t stable, I just tried my best to be conscious.


    Not long after the first speaker had left, my nose was caught yet with another fragrance, a royal fragrance.


    “Such a gothic! She’s even stinking.” The voice said.


    “What does my son even see in this girl that he wanted me to protect with my might? I thought she was a royal! Gorgeous of beauty but turns out that she’s a pile of shit.”


    ” Word of advice” she paused. ” Since you’re in trouble with Jayden’s family, it will be good if you stay off my son’sne perhaps he returned to the kingdom.”


    ” Your Highness, mistress Jessica is seen heading this way, I urge we leave here immediately.”


    ” Oh, the vixen?” “I might keep to my son’s promise and save you but you’ll have to repay me cause nothing goes for free.”


    A p to my ear as she pronounced her words finished.


    Another familiar fragrance swept to my nose, I caught wind of it.


    “My crush’s mother visited you, don’t tell me it is what I’m thinking but if she likes you, you automatically be mine to like.” ” But if she hates you, I’ll have no options but to stab you several times with a sharp baboon stick.”


    “I’ll go visit her anyway.”


    I stood there like a tree, frozen to my abdomen.


    Isn’t death better than this? Oh Selene, what wrong have Imitted to deserve this cruel fate?


    Implications upon implications, misconceptions.


    Selene, once I get free from this, I’ll challenge you to a duel. I’ll fight you, and hunt you down.


    “I wondered what you did to my son!” A pnded on my cheeks.


    “What have you done to my son?” Her yell refueled a pint of energy within me.


    I didn’t know how I managed today this. “What do you intend to do with me?”


    “Leave you here until there’s no life in you, and watch how your body would dpose after winter is over.”


    ” Perhaps you didn’t know who I am; I’m Jessica the vixen who would do anything to protect her son, and kill anyone who dared to dream they could snatch the throne away from my lineage.”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    “please kill me, fill my empty belly with poison.” I begged shamelessly with my closed eyes.


    “Killed you?” She scoffed. “Am I stupid? Killing you when my son is barely alive would be barbaric.”


    ” Pour the honey at her back and release the armies!” She ordered.


    I felt sticky liquid gumming to my back and then the pain of anguish escted from my sore mouth into the air.


    Stinging pains as if thousands of hot needles were piercing through my back.


    Sounds couldn’t emanate from my mouth anymore as felt my heart writhing due to shock.


    I wasn’t even feeling pain due to the attack on my back but was hopeless cause I was having a heart seizure, I was convulsing, gasping for breath.


    I hoped for a savior at that moment if possible I be his or her ve for the rest of my life.


    “Mother! Mother!” A tiny voice rang through the air.


    ” Mother, it’s Jayden.” ” You need toe, it’s urgent!” The voice cried.


    Anguish and frustration vibrated off her voice.


    And if there was any wish I could make,” Jayden should die!” This would be my wish cause once he died from his mysterious illness, I’ll be able to die and say goodbye to this sinful world.
