If she had known that her life was going to change while performing her duties as a maid, she wondered what would have changed if she had not went there in the first place? Her life took a drastic change when fate smiled upon her. Her life changed when she was chosen to become the bride of the prince and it even intensified when secrets started coming out. How will Talia settle with her new life? Will she be able to easily accept all of this or run away with her tail between her legs

Chapter 1 No.1

Talia smiled as she looked at the noble ladies chatting and showing off their expensive and luxurious clothes and jewelries. It was the hugest event in the Kingdom of Qarth, the youngest prince was choosing his bride and all noble families had been invited.

She wasn't really from one of those but she was here as a helper, making sure that the place remains clean.

Talia was nineteen years old and unlike other children of her age she wasn't going to school. She lived with her grandmother; she never knew her parents so her grandmother was everything to her. She was sick and she could only work hard to pay her medical bills.

"Stop staring," Jane the woman who worked in the palace and the woman who had hired her said.

She smiled at her and said, 'it's not every day that I get to see such a thing."

"Indeed, I wonder whom the prince will choose. He had been looking down lately," Jane mentioned.

"Is that so? Isn't it obvious that he will choose Chloe?"

"You never know, the world is full of surprises. Go t the kitchen and bring a jug of water."

"Okay, I will go now."

Talia left the hall and began to walk towards the kitchen. On her way she suddenly was attracted by this painting on the wall. For a moment she felt very dizzy and as if she was sleeping she had a strange and bizarre nightmare. The world was spinning and she just needed it to stop.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked and slowly she came back to her senses.

She wasn't seeing clearly yet but she replied, "I am fine now, thank you. Did I hurt you?"

"No, you didn't but you were about to fall. Take it easy."

"I will. Thank you once again, I will take my leave."

Talia couldn't look at her savior's face, she was very embarrassed. She just left and head for the kitchen. She told the kitchen maids what she wanted and they gave her the jug and placed it in one of the trays. She took the tray and headed for the hall.

She found Jane who instructed her to pour water for the ladies that wanted it. Ten minutes later the Queen arrived followed by the prince. It was the first time she was seeing them at such a close range. The prince was such a handsome man, the lady who was going to be his bride would be lucky.

They all paid respect to them and watched them sitting down before they did the same. As a helper she couldn't sit but just stand as far as she could and wait for any instructions.

"Thank you all for coming in such huge numbers for a happy occasion of our family. I hope you will enjoy and have a great time. As tradition says one of the ladies among you shall be chosen and no one should feel bad about it. Whoever the prince will choose will become his bride, and I hope that you will all respect that," the Queen explained.

Talia understood this rule very well. Instead of having arranged marriages the princes will be given a chance to pick his bride among all the ladies of the kingdom.

So many surprises had happened of course but everyone knew that the prince was taken by Chloe his childhood lover and friend. It was really pointless to have this ceremony, she thought.

One day she would love to meet a man for herself, fall in love and marry him. To have a normal and happy family was all that she prayed for. How wonderful it would be if her grandmother would be able to see her children.

She looked around and saw how happy all the ladies were. Somehow her gaze found Chloe and she looked very proud of herself. She knew that she was the chosen one, how wonderful she must be feeling at that moment.

She then looked to the front where the Queen and the prince were seated. Her gaze went towards the prince and he looked a bit sad for someone she was seeing for the first time up-close. Was he not happy with the ceremony? What was eating him up really?

"It's time for the prince to choose his bride. May all the ladies remain seated, the prince will take rounds and he will choose his bride by giving her his ring."

There was cheer among the people, it was starting already and she couldn't wait to witness such a great event. She watched as the prince majestically stood from his seat and began to walk through the aisle surrounding the tables. His gaze was a Chloe and she smiled inwardly. Was she going to become the princess?

But the prince passed her and continued the rounds. What was he thinking really? Minutes passed as the prince took his time looking at the ladies; he finished all the ladies that were seated and still he hadn't removed his ring on his finger.

The prince's gaze was all of a sudden on her; she looked around and noticed that she was the only one there. He smiled at her and she wondered what was happening. He began to walk towards her, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall. He stopped right in front of her and gave her a smile again.

"I can tell you are fine," he said and suddenly it hit her.

The voice she recognized it, it belonged to the person who saved her earlier. How was it even possible that it was the prince?

"It was you?" she murmured.

"It was."

Why was he speaking to her?

"Look at me," he said and she did.

What was he really thinking?

"I think you need to repay me for the help I gave earlier," he said.

"How should I do that?" she asked avoiding his gaze.

"You have to save me from all this like I saved you. You think you can do that?"

"I have to pay a debt; how can I help you?"

"That's more like it. Whatever I'm going to do right now you just needs to say yes and don't say no, understand?"

"Yes, I do."

She was so exhausted from running that she couldn't help but stop at the cliff's edge to catch her breath. The only place she could think of to flee after being pursued for three days with nowhere to go was here. In her hour of need, she had summoned that man, the man she had been engaged to since she was a child, the man she had given her heart to, to come and rescue her from this nightmare. She would not have dared to tell him about her whereabouts if she had known she had been duped by this man and his so-called family. Because of her stupid mistake, she watched nervously and fearfully as he approached her with a snarl on his face. She never imagined a day like this would come. She had nowhere else to run, she had exhausted all options, and the only thing that awaited her was death. "You should be aware that your presence is a hindrance to everything for which I have tirelessly worked. So, dear, I am deeply sorry that this is the end," the man said coldly as he pulled the trigger. The only sound was that of the gunshot that pierced right through the girl's chest. The shot had such an impact that the young girl staggered and fell right off the cliff. Her face was plastered with a smile, blood trickled down her lips, and her chest was oozing with blood. This was the end, and she was aware of it. She should have suspected it from the start because, despite the fact that she was spoiled, they never spent time with her. She endured every time they drew blood from her because she wanted to make her family happy. Even when she couldn't recall her childhood, she never asked for anything but hoped for a better future. If she had suspected and demanded answers, this would have been a painless death. This death proved the one thing she had been refusing to admit since the day she discovered the dark secret her family had been keeping for more than a decade. She was simply their child's clone, and it hurt like hell.

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing at the moment. Was this some kind of joke or what? One thing was for certain though, this man never joked. She had known him for a month and she had never seen him making a joke or smile for that matter. The other staff had given him a nickname, he was known as Mr. Cold because of the coldness he emits wherever he was. She knew that he was a good man; it was just the circumstances that turned him this way which was also one of the reasons why she developed a huge crush on the man even when she fully knew that he will never see her that way. So after all that assessment, why was he saying these words to her? “Are you joking sir?” she asked him as she staggered since she was standing on her two feet. “I am not a person who just jokes. I thought you said that you will help me when I need help. Are you turning back on your word right now?” this man was a professional, how could he make her the assailant in just a second when he was the one throwing a bomb on her. “I did say that but I never thought it will end up this way,” she said as she sat down on the opposite chair. “You promised so you have to this for me or do you want to see those wolves eating me up?” he asked her with raised eyebrows and she understood what he was saying. To be honest she didn’t want that at all. She would rather sacrifice herself and help him. This wasn’t a bad deal after all; she will have her own win too. “So, I simply just have to marry you?” she asked him once more. “Yes child, you marry me and become my lawfully wedded wife. I will take care of you and your family. You can still go to school like you were; all I need is for you to be by my side. I am not asking for much am I?” He really was asking her for too much. He didn’t even love her and yet he wanted her to marry him. She was in love with him and would be happy to do that but there were issues she just couldn’t decipher on her own and needed a bit of clarification. “Aren’t you worried about my age at all?” she asked him. “You are already an adult dear and not a minor so I am not worried at all. Just think about it and give me an answer. I will accept whatever decision you make,” he said. She looked at him and saw desperation in his eyes. A man like this wouldn’t come to her unless it was urgent. So she decided to make the biggest decision of her life that instant. “I will do it, I will marry you,” she told him and she saw a smile on his face. That was the first time she was seeing one on his face. He could emit such light with just a smile; she fell for him even more. She didn’t know what was going to come in the future but she was going to face it head on. She also deserves her own happiness even when it meant to be a bit selfish.

A mansion that appeared to be over three centuries old was built in a secluded valley. This was the mansion of a family that had lived in seclusion for centuries, not interfering with any outside affairs. There was a room in this mansion that was exquisitely decorated. This room belonged to the family's only daughter, the daughter who came after four generations, so she was spoiled and loved. She was everyone's apple, but the apple was currently comatose, as she had been for the past eighteen years. She was discovered in a deadly state eighteen years ago, her body covered in blood as if she had been attacked. Even after her life was no longer in danger, the girl never awoke, but no one gave up hope because they believed she would. Her life crystal was still shining brightly, indicating that she still had life in her. She was probably fighting a psychological battle, and when she was done, she would wake up. Every day, the woman will be wiped clean as if she were sleeping. Her mother was currently reading a book to her, something she does on a daily basis, when the woman screamed as she opened her eyes. For a split second, the mother forgot her daughter had been in a coma for so long, and when she regained consciousness, her husband and sons were already in the room. Everyone turned to look at the woman, who was frantically looking around for something. “Baby, what are you looking for?” her mother inquired. “What happened to you after you were in a coma for eighteen years?” The questions came one after the other, and the idea of calling a doctor was quickly forgotten, but when they received the answer, they all froze. “WHERE IS MY BABY GIRL?”

She sat crying by her mother’s side as she watched her breath fade away. She had been by her side all her life and now the invincible sacred lady was dying. How could she just die like that? “Mother, please don’t leave me!” she cried holding her hand. “I will always be there with you princess. Always remember that I love you and everything I did was to keep you safe,” she said. “Please don’t talk like that. Save your breath.” “I can see that your father is already waiting for me. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you, become much stronger no matter what you face in the future. Turn this mountain into something great and make everyone shake by the mention of your name. Don’t let them step on you ever. Remember that you are special child and you will always be in my heart,” her mother told her. “I will fulfill your wishes mother but please just don’t leave me yet,” she begged. “Once I’m gone, I need you to open my safe box and take out the letter that’s in there. Read it and burn it. I hoped a day like this will never come but since it’s already here, I’m afraid you should know the truth. I love you child and will always do,” her mother said and without giving her a chance to reply back she just fade away. She couldn’t believe it; she shook her and yet she didn’t respond. Her mother was gone and she was left alone. How could she bear to leave her alone in this cruel world? She cried out loud drawing the attention of the people who lived with her. They all came and bowed down and began to cry with her. She wiped her tears away and looked at the Left Guardian. “Prepare for my mother’s burial. Make it so grand and the mourning period will be three months. Increase the security around the mountain and anyone who doesn’t mourn with honesty will be buried with my mother. Make sure she gets buried alongside her husband. The tailor department should prepare a golden gown for her to be buried in. the gown should be done in a week and they should make it beautiful or else I will have their heads rolling down,” she gave an instruction and the Left Guardian crossed his arms as a show of respect. “I will carry out your instructions,” he said. She looked up and made a vow to her deceased mother. “I will destroy anyone that goes against the Lotus Palace. Anyone that will challenge me and anyone who caused my mother to fall to her demise I will get rid of them all. I am going to make my palace so great and much famous just like my mother wanted.” But first she has a letter to read and find out what was so crucial that her mother wouldn’t tell her but leave a letter for it. She found the safe box and cracked it. Inside there was a sealed letter with her mother’s seal. She broke the seal and took the letter out. She began to read the letter and it didn’t make sense at all. What was her mother telling her? How could this happen? She fell to the ground and hold the letter in her hand. “I will heed your advice mother,” she told herself and knew that everything had just changed. Her life was never going to be like she had imagined when she was young. Her life just made a huge turn around and there was no turning back.

Fighting was no longer an option; she just lay there, tears streaming down her cheeks, as the vicious men continued to vandalize her. They were strewn all over her body. Her body had become too numb for her to do anything. Everything started one beautiful evening when she was sent outside to run an errand. And, as she always did, she took the shortest route she knew well. She was walking when she noticed a young man she recognized; he was her older brother's friend, so she remained calm. She came to a halt to speak with him, only to black out in a matter of seconds. When she opened her eyes, she was naked in a deserted area, in a place she was unfamiliar with, with a huge man in between her legs. It was excruciatingly painful, so she cried and screamed, but the more she did this, the worse it became. While that man raped her incessantly, she noticed her brother's friend staring at her. She couldn't read his emotions, but she was filled with hatred for him. She put her trust in him, and this is how he repays her! To keep her from screaming, they stuffed a cloth in her mouth. She could see the desire and lust in their eyes. Their eyes said it all, and it was clear that they were not going to show her mercy. These jerks showed up prepared, and they didn't care that she hadn't fully bloomed. As they forced themselves on her one by one, she cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. What hurt the most was seeing that traitor, whom she had looked up to as a brother, ravaging her as if she were a stranger. She fainted in the middle of being vandalized, and after a while, she heard sirens. People were talking around her, but she couldn't open her eyes because she was too exhausted to do anything. The ambulance appeared to have arrived because she felt those needles enter her body and it didn't hurt. She couldn't help but cry when she heard her mother cry, and the last thing she heard before she passed out was, “I'm very sorry Ma'am, but due to the damage that was caused to your daughter, the only option is to operate on her and remove her womb.” “Why would you do something like that?” “It is severely damaged, and I am afraid that if we do not remove it, she will be in danger again, and it will be too late by then.” Hearing her mother cry, she despised everyone at the time. She was going to exact her revenge with her own hands, and the thirteen-year-old girl blacked out with that last thought.
