Phoenix
The moment King Sebastian left, I raised my hand and observed the spot where he had just kissed. I touched it with my index finger and then…
Yes.
I did feel butterflies.
But I also had to be realistic. What would he do when he saw my face?
All my beauty and glass skin could not stop Mateo from betraying me. Now, when I had turned ugly, would the king still have the same feelings for me?
I don't think so.
I tried to remind myself that this was not love but infatuation. Or maybe it was nothing but just lust. I hadn't missed the carnal hunger behind his gaze.
Urgh! I tried to shrug him out of my thoughts.
I wanted this alone time to plan my strategy. It was time to get back what I lost to other people. There were things that I deserved, but others snatched them from me.
And I let them, thinking that one day they would accept me. To please others, I bent backwards.
Not anymore.
I needed to start with Luna Raya.
