Writer’s POV
“You have a missed call.” Kendrick said handing Isaac’s phone back to him.
“Who?” Issac asked, a smirk dancing around the corner of his lips.
“Guess?” Kendrick grinned.
Issac imputed his password and unlocked the phone to see two missed call from Serena.
His eyes widened and he looked up at Kendrick.
“Why didn’t you call me to pick up?” Isaac fumed, this was the first time his sister was making an attempt to talk to him after the incident.
“Hey, I didn’t see the call come through okay? Just call her back.” Kendrick reported before starting the engine of his car.
“I can’t. I don’t want to put her into trouble. I can only message her to call me whenever she can.” Isaac mumbled before typing a message for Serena to call him back when she could.
“You are dying to hear from her and yet your pride won’t allow you call her back?” Kendrick chuckled.
“It’s not pride okay? I just don’t want to put her into trouble.” Isaac groaned, tired of explaining it to Kendrick.
“Yeah. Sure.” Kendrick lifted his hands in defense.
“So, how was it? Was getting slapped by that girl worth it?” Kendrick turned to Isaac when silence day between then for a while.
“Yes, it was worth it. I have gotten her where I want her to be. She asked me to meet up with her at land mall hotel. 2 00pm tomorrow.” Issac answered proudly.
“So, what are exactly your plans? What to you have in store for her?” Ken inquired, adjusting to face his best friend who had a sky smile on his face.
“You know, just to have my fun with her and then trash her. She need to see herself weak. I’ll surely make life a lively hell for her the way she made it for Serena.” Issac said.
“And you are sure she won’t suspect anything now?” Ken asked.
“She won’t. She’s not as smart as you think and her hatred for Serena is her greatest weakness.” Issac replied.
“And you are also sure your sister won’t get mad at you if she learns of this. I mean you are going to fück her sister, isn’t that kind of weird?” Kendrick turned to Isaac.
Isaac shrugged.
“I’m a fück boy. She’ll understand.” Isaac smirked and they burst out in laughter.
********
Serena had almost fallen asleep when her phone beeped, indicating that a new message has just entered.
She sat on her bed, dropping the book she had been trying to read and saw a text from Isaac. She smiled, happy that Isaac wanted to talk to her, irrespective of ignoring for so long.
She immediately dialed his number and he picked up the call after a second ring.
Finally given the opportunity to talk to Isaac, she realized she couldn’t get the words out of her mouth.
“What is that? You won’t talk?” Isaac’s voice sounded over the phone and she blushed, thankful he couldn’t see her right now.
“H.. hi.” Serena mumbled like a shy teenager.
“How are you doing, S?” Issac asked and he heard him breathe deeply.
“I’m fine. I’m sorry for what happened, for what I did. I’m sorry for everything, I had no time to explain and I knew you wouldn’t wanna agree with my plan of letting you go. I’m deeply sorry,” Serena found her tongue as the words came rushing out of her mouth. Guilt clawed at her.
Isaac sighed.
“It’s okay. What’s done is done, all I can think of right now is a way to get you out of that castle. We can’t possibly use the first method because King Zed already knows of that. For now you’ll to remain put there, behave, stay out of trouble until…”
‘I will, I will stay safe. I am safe so please stop worrying about me. You take care of yourself, you and your friend were both thrown into a cell because of me. Just stay safe and live happily, don’t worry too much about me.” She whispered, blinking rapidly to stop the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.
“Hey, I will get you out of there okay? Have that in mind. I don’t easily back down. So tell me, how was yesterday? Anything to tell?” Issac inquired.
Serena smiled a little, happy that Isaac still cared about her. She didn’t know what she would have done if he didn’t forgive her and act like nothing happened between them.
“Yes, something I need to tell you actually. I need your help with something.” Serena stated.
“Okay, go on. I’m listening.” She heard him shuffle as if trying to sit up properly, and when everything was calm she spoke again.
“Um… yesterday night after coming out from the king’s chambers, something happened and I wasn’t thinking straight. I happened to run into his human girl that stays at the castle and…”
“Wait, you mean the crazy Emily lesbian girl? Oh fück, why didn’t I warn you about her?” Isaac groaned obviously annoyed at himself.
“Yes, she…”
“Oh please don’t tell me she is hitting on it. Don’t go close to her, she is always high on pills.” Issac spoke over her again.
She didn’t know what to say anymore, to confirm what his assumptions were or just to change the topic.
“Wait, did she do something to you?” Isaac asked, curiousity laced in his voice.
“Uh.. yes, she made me drink this drug… yesterday I wasn’t myself but I’m fine now.” Serena explained.
“Shit! Do you happen to know what drug she gave to you?” Issac asked.
“Uh yes, actually King Zed called in a doctor to check up on me…”
“King Zed did what?? You mean the cold hearted Alpha called a doctor for you?” Isaac asked in bewilderment making Serena chuckle.
“Yes, he did. But that’s not the main point. The main thing is the effect the drug has on me right now. The doctor explained that the drug is used mostly by humans to… to.. boost their… um…” Serena stammered, trying to find another word for it.
“Sexual urge?” Issac interrupted and she burnt red.
“Yes, that. And since I didn’t have a release because king Zed made me pass out when I started acting crazy last night. Since I didn’t have that, they said I’ll start getting ho…”
“Yeah, I know all those. I have an idea.” Isaac interrupted her again.
Serena nodded as if he could see her and remained silent, waiting for him to speak.
“Okay, so you have never been with a guy before right?” Isaac asked.
Serena nodded again before mumbling a yes, too embarrassed to talk about that with a guy even though the guy was her brother.
“I guess you haven’t. The situation at hand too can’t help, the only way I can think of is not right for you currently but I’ll try looking up the internet. There might be a drug that will help stop the drug from taking such effect on you.” Isaac said.
“Okay.” Serena murmured.
“But you can still try it out, you know the ‘sex’ thing, it’s just sad that there is no guy in there that I want for you and I don’t think King Zed will ever allow you leave his castle again.”
“You are suggesting I should do… it? No! I can’t, I’m not ready, I don’t know how to.” Serena shook her head in refusal.
“Yes, that is no longer an option, S. I’ll just find another way, if I see it. I’ll let you know immediately and the rules between you and I is that we must speak everyday.
You must call me whenever you are free. It’s a must. I’m not there with you but I can still keep you company from here until we can be together. Be smarter and take care of yourself okay?” Issac said, squeezing her shoulders reassuringly.
“Okay, thanks. I’ll do just that.” Serena smiled up at him.
“Good. Now have some sleep if there is no king’s duty to disturb you.”
“I will, thanks.” She smiled more before ending the call.
Oh, I miss him so very much. I miss chatting with him, Serena thought as she laid down on the bed and closed her eyes before slowly falling asleep.
She opened her eyes when a knock sounded on her door. She slowly sat up from the bed, her eyes fixed fearfully at it. The memory from last night flashed in her head and she gripped her duvet tighter.
“Are you in there, Serena? Grandma Felicia asked to see you. You should be quick.” A loud unfamiliar voice said from behind the door.
She heard movements and figured out that the announcer had left. She came down from her bed and went into the bathroom, washing her face with running water from the tap.
She tied her hair up in a messy bun before walking out from the bathroom, her stomach growling loudly and she realized that she hadn’t eaten anything all day.
Isaac came into her thoughts.
If Isaac was here, I wouldn’t have been this hungry. He brings us food so I don’t have to go to the kitchen for that, She thought sadly, a sad smile danced on her lips.
She walked out of her room and went straight to the mini mansion. Luckily for her there was no one to taunt her in the sitting room and she thought of where Grandma Felicia’s room might be.
She stood with her hands fixed on her waist and pounded on what to do.
A few minutes later, she went to the first door on her right and knocked. The door opened and a guy Serena didn’t usually see around showed up.
“Please can you direct me, I want to get to Grandma Felicia’s room?” Serena asked, hoping he wouldn’t ignore her.
“The last door on your left.” He said before shutting his door rather rudely.
“Thanks.” She mumbled before making her way along the hallway before stopping at the door of the last room.
A strange aura bled off it and Serena couldn’t find it in her to knock.
She could also hear voices but she didn’t want to be a creep and listen to someone’s conversation.
There was Grandma Felicia’s scent and two other scents, but one of those scents was strangely too familiar to her.
She knew the scent very well, but the aura, she couldn’t pinpoint the owner.
Who was behind that door? She wondered but her hungry stomach growled again, diverting her attention from the door.
She turned and left for the kitchen. She could look for something to eat and before heading back to the room for Grandma Felicia.
She got to the kitchen and found it empty once more before walking to the fridge, opening it to observe the series of canned food there.
She took out the leftover spaghetti and heated it before eating, and then gulped down a cold bottle of water.
Voices came from the sitting room and then the familiar aura.
She closed the fridge and immediately glanced around in case she saw anyone.
A little disappointed, she left the sitting room and went back to meet with Grandma Felicia.
She knocked once.
“Come on in, Serena.” Grandma Felicia ushered her in.
Serena was a bit surprised at the sudden response as she pulled open the door to reveal the older woman sitting in her bed.
“Hi, good day.” Serena smiled shyly as she went to sit down on the couch, just in front of grandma Felicia.
“Hi Serena, I have been expecting you.” The older woman beamed.
“I’m sorry, I was hungry and left to eat.”
“No problem, I’m glad you left me with the two new servants who will be taking over Isaac’s and Kendrick’s job.” Grandma Felicia said softly.
Serena’s face dropped so her brother was really going for good.
“No, it’s not your fault. I believe it’s fate working. Don’t blame yourself for what happened.”
Serena shook her head once, thinking once again how all these were all her fault.
“So we haven’t spoken since that incident happened. Well, I’m glad it happened. You proved that you are also a living being with feelings. But I want to advise, don’t do what you did again.
You put everyone’s life in danger by making king Zed angry. And as you have heard his anger is not a funny one. It’s a miracle only one person died during that period.” Serena gasped in shock, looking curiously at Grandma Felicia.
“One person? Who?” She asked fearfully.
“Charles died.” The older woman sighed and Serena almost screamed in surprise.
“His death was a bit justified because he was actually plotting against the king. He found out by going into your brother’s head. You don’t have to feel bothered by that. Just promise me you will allow fate play it part.” Grandma Felicia requested. And Serena nodded once.
“I will.” She replied
