Standing under the buzzing water shower, Stephen was trying to recall the woman he met last night. His face was serious, his eyes were glinted. Clenching his fist with frustration, he was grinding his teeth in outrage that how he was not able to remember her but her sensation was still into his sense. It felt like he has touched someone like her for the first time in his life and he could easily identify her if he fondle her again.
“Who was that woman? Why I am not able to forget her touch but almost forget her face.” he thought himself. He could remember the feeling he had last night. He even memorized her aroma and the flavor of her body. He recklessly f****d her entire night and as the morning arose everything vanished from his mind like air.
His heart was uneasy and his mind was flabbergasted. Why did that woman sleep with him when she was not a p********e arranged by his cousin. What if that’s a scam against him. The cold water falling from the shower was draining down through his muscular body and dripping down on the floor.
“Ouch..” a sharp water stream fell on his back. He felt a burning sensation there. When he touched there he found some wound on his back. He peeked his back in the mirror. There were many nail marks on his shoulder and back.
“What the f**k. She poked her nails into my shoulder. What kind of woman she was!” He irritatingly picked the towel from the rack. Last night was really unforgettable for him.
Drying his body, he wore the bathrobe. Coming out of the bathroom, his eyes went on the red-stained bed-sheet and quilt on the bed. This all was making him crazy. He wanted to see that woman desperately. He wanted to ask her whether she had s*x with him out of the
romance or she was sent by someone.
Suddenly a bell rang on the door. It was some delegate from the palace.
“Lord has called you.” Just a few words were enough to make him run to the palace.
He was informed that king wanted to see him in the palace. Waiting for none, he
Restlessly headed towards the palace. The King George was not feeling well and wanted to see his both of the children. In a short while, prince Stephen arrived at his house, Brixton Palace.
On the mainlands of the Nederland, the greatest symbol of Monarchy, a huge and complex palace built almost in the 16th century. Victorian architecture was not only eye-catching but also blended with modern ethnicity. The sculptures and the statues at the side of the entrance path cost millions. A big white fountain with the statue of a lady pouring water from a pot was gifted by Greek ancestry.
The glorious palace is secured within a big garden. The Garden was so big that without any sign, anyone could be lost in it. The main hall of the palace was so huge that no one could see it in a single glance. From carpet to chandelier, sculpture to walls everything was antique.
Stephen immediately went to meet his dad, King George.
Here, Anastasia was helplessly lying on the bed and trying to calm her pain. She knew that her physical pain was nothing in front of her mental pain. The aches, the marks she has now would be healed but she cannot forget last night how she randomly slept with an unknown man. She didn't try to see his face because she thought there is no point in whom she slept, she has nothing to do with him.
She was engrossed in her thought, Suddenly she got call.
“Miss Anastasia, you can join the cafe from today. We have selected you.” A call from cafe where she has given interview few days ago. She took out white placket blouse and black skirt. The fingerprints of that man’s hand was still on her thighs.
She pressed her lips and slapped herself two three times.
“Promise yourself that you won’t drink anything out of the house. Promise you will not talk to anybody.”
She was regretting making Bella as her friend.
She reached the cafe which was just nearby her house. This way she will save some money of travelling.
“Hello Miss Anastasia.. how are you.” A man from a chair came immediately to open the door when Anastasia got inside. She was shocked because he was the manager of that cafe, Mr. Colby.
Anastasia smiled at him bitterly and came to the desk and started working there. She was little relaxed as that place was much better than the club she worked in. She saw some girls around the same age as her were standing there and talking with each other but Anastasia was kept standing like statue and serving to the customers.
In afternoon when manager left for the lunch and asked them to have lunch too, Anastasia sat on one of the chair and started having her few bucks burger. The girls around her has bought some food tiffin from their house.
Anastasia took a bite of her burger. The every time loved burger felt so tasteless to her. She didn’t understand why she was living in this world. There is no one to her except from one aunt and cousin who never want to see her.
She was well at nothing. Her life seemed worthless to her. She took another bite of the burger and kept thinking about her life. Suddenly a scream from behind made her chocked. She was startle for a moment and turned back to see what had happened.
“Hey…isn’t that prince Stephen. oh my god! I wish I could see him once with my eyes.” Her coworker was pointing at the television screen in front of her. She turned her head and stared at that television screen.
A tall young and handsome man was seen heading inside the huge palace. He had stunning personality and amazing aura. But was followed by many guards around him. Anastasia was stunned for a moment. She felt her heartbeat rising all of a sudden. She never had such feeling after seeing any man but man in front of her was giving her unusual feeling.
“They say king is not well. He wanted to marry off their both children. See Prince Philip also came in the palace.” Coworkers were kept speaking about the Royal news.
Anastasia felt restless. The piece of burger in her mouth was kept rolling as if it became difficult to swallow it under her throat. She lost her appetite and her mouth became bitter. Her most favourite burger was now poison for her. Wrapping the remaining burger from her hand she dumped it into garbage bin.
She again went to the counter and started working. This was the first time she has mixed feeling.
