chapter 23

Arabella Stanford [19 years old]

✉️I am ready.

Luciano Knight [28 years old]

✉️My driver will pick you up.

I messaged him and threw my phone. I cried until my eyes were swollen. I didn't felt like doing anything. I was laying on bed for hours until I heard the screeching sound of a car. It was already evening. I quickly splashed water on my face, washing away the tears that has dried on my cheeks.

I sat inside the car. It was the same driver who picked me up before for dinner. Like last time neither he spoke anything nor looked at me. But it was least of my concern right now. I leaned towards window. The cold breeze of evening was making me shiver. I was nervous, scared and terrified.

The car halted in front of the gate. I gasped as I looked at the palace. It was huge. I had never seen a place like this. Two guards were standing outside the gate. They opened it as soon as they saw the car.
