"What did he just say dad?" I asked dad with a pissed tone.
"Princess, he has invited you to lunch tomorrow morning. Someone will come to get you at 11am." Dad said in a firm voice.
"But Dad...." I wince like a child making faces.
"I know everything princess but he need you to show something and he promised he will take care of you. I think you should go." Dad said looking intensely at me saying that it's up to me to decide.
I was exhausted and devastated from my earlier encounter and now again I had to encounter another. Dad left the room as he got a call and I strode towards my room. I kick of my shoes and sprawled in the bed.
A lone tear slip from my eyes and Anord face flashes. His sharp jaw line, plump lips and captive eyes which makes me want to kiss him again and again. I remember how he kissed and hug me. I felt a sharp pain in my heart and I closed my eyes tightly to forget everything.
After sometime I find someone shaking me and asking to get up but I told to go away. My head was hurting like hell and so do my chest so I refuse Linda to have dinner. She tried to make me get up but I didn't budge. I slept on my stomach with heavy heart and head.
The intense light made me to wince and I slowly open my eyes to find that another day is up. Linda was looking at me like she had seen a ghost and she was the one who had opened the window.
"Damn, Linda. Why did you wake me up?" I said rubbing my both eyes and sitting on the bed.
"Have you check the clock? It's 10 already and you forget you need to go somewhere." She said putting fresh flowers in the vase.
"Oh shit! I just forget or I overslept." I said getting up from bed and wearing my slippers.
"Are you alright? You have slept for long before and you didn't take dinner." She said in a concerned voice.
"I'm fine Linda and it's just headache. I will go have a shower." I said heading towards the bathroom giving a small smile.
I strip my dress and get inside the warm water which soothes my skin and makes me feel relaxed. Yesterday night I promised to myself that I will not remember anything about the past few and concentrate on my project. I will make dad proud by helping him in office and I'm ready to take over the company.
I don't know where Xeres would take me for the lunch so I wear a white shirt with a denim. If I was happy or excited I would have gone for a skirt but now I'm not that much comfortable. I loosen my hair and do a light makeup to get rid of my ghost face crying from yesterday.
Exactly at 11 Linda came to tell me that someone is here to take me and at that time I was put my shoes on. I hurriedly grab my mobile and went downstairs not to keep the person waiting.
"Princess. Have a nice time?" Dad said giving me a peck on my head as I greeted him.
I walk towards the front door with a nod and there a black Ford was waiting for me to hop on. It's was not Xeres but a man like him maybe his worker. I don't mind as he gave open the door for me to get in and he drove the car once he settled down.
"His highness is waiting for you in the Vorech." He said after few minutes.
I just gave a small smile and look outside the window to ease my mind. I was looking at the houses and people outside but that was only for my eyes to see but I didn't notice anything. I was just blank and didn't even find when we had reached Xeres place.
"Thank you." I said to the man before who was holding the car door for me to get out.
I couldn't believe the place where I was as it was beyond imagination. The place seem enchanted and was covered with flowers. It seems like a backyard but I don't know we can park car at the backyard too.
"Follow me miss." A girl who was wearing maid dress told me in a sweet voice and I strode behind her.
She stop on a pathway to the place where Xeres was and show me the way. With a thanks to her I walk towards Xeres. He was wearing a black shirt and pant with a black jacket. He came forward once he saw me and gave a bright smile.
"It's great to see you here Ukrine. I'm sorry I couldn't come to receive you." He said taking my right hand and placing a kiss.
"It's not a problem. This place is beautiful." I said looking around as he lead me towards the eating area.
There was a table at the center with two chairs decorated with flowers and it looks welcoming.
"Not beautiful than you." He said with a sweet voice.
I just gave a small smile and he pull a chair for me to settle down. The arrangement was good but it's seems to better when we were having a dinner as the light would make it more irresistible.
"Can we order? You would be hungry." He said pointing towards the menu.
"Yeah sure." I said looking at menu and order few dishes.
"This place is called Vorech and it's place where we brings our date." He said looking intensely at me.
"I'm not your date." I said sounding mad.
"Yes you're." He said in a stern voice.
"No.I'm not." I retorted but the topic ended as our food arrived and we eat in awkward silence as he was the only one talking and me humming.
"I told you not to go to Anord." He said once we were heading towards his castle. We were at the south wing and heading towards the east.
"Let's not talk about it." I said halting on my track.
"I won't if you stay for a while." He said looking at me.
"I don't think so.." I said looking confused.
"Please." He said with a pleasing eyes and I don't know how I gave up nodding my head.
"They will be happy to see you. Let's go." He said making me walking beside him.
Who the hell are they?
