Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Tea?

Never once had Esme seen this woman crying or being emotional. She always felt like Luciana had a heart of steel. While it was admirable but somehow it worried her too. 

Yet, it worried her more as she watched Luciana crying miserably. 

Esme sat up on the bed, shifting Luciana's head to her knee, ''What happened?" 

Pearls gathered on her gown as Luciana cried harder, curling up on the bed. 

Esme stroked her hair quietly, not knowing what to say.

Once Luciana started calming down, she inhaled a deep breath, ''The past year, I was living with guilt. My heart was burdened. I was so worried you would be taken advantage of. I was so worried about you... I blamed myself whenever I saw how naive you were,'' she sobbed, ''I am responsible too... For what happened to you, I am responsible too.'' 

''Ssshh... Calm down. Don't take responsibility for things you haven't done.''
