She called after him as she grab his hand "how could you lie to me? How dare you lied?"

"That is because I was sold as a slave and with the mark of a slave no one would believe me even when am saying the truth"

I have been watching ariana and eric ;it was obvious they are very much in love with each other and they were talking about getting married

Ariana was dress in a princess gown I smiled as I watch her come towards me with eric

"let's get married the same day" I said while holding beth close to me

Leah was sadly watching the union she wish someday she could meet her family just like ariana

Matilda was scared when she saw ariana passing by she bow in fear but got held by ariana "you don't have to do that''

Tyler got furious when he heard the story about how Kelsey tried to kill me every one was shocked , I was happy that tyler was the prince charming beth was referring to

Leah came to the prince chamber just as she was instruct by the head maid she didn't find him in his chamber so she sent the water in the tub as she add some rose into it she got stiff when she heard a voice

"who are you? And what are you doing here?"

She turn around to face him, he went stun seeing her "am leah your highness and I have just finish setting the water bath for you"

I was leaving when he stop me " where did you get that necklace from?"

"from my lady ariana your grace"

"she gave you?"

He was walking towards me I kept backing away until I got trap in place by the wall his hand reached out for the necklace his finger slightly brushed my skin I could feel my body reacting to the slight touch as I muttered a curse before backing away but he grab me in his arms when I almost slipped , we were staring at each other I couldn't believe it was real until I heard his voice "Are you alright?"

"Yes my lord"

I was walking down the stairs when I found leah struggling against Edwin he angrily remove the necklace and threw it away but I caught it

"No!" she screamed

She tried to push him away from her but he was too strong for her, I got angry as I pull her away from him and glare at him coldly

"don't you dare stop me"

"I wont let you touch her" I said while holding her hands protectively against mine

"Stay out of this tyler"

"I wont"

I could feel her hands warm against mine; the feeling was strange and good but I was scared when I felt my heart beating too fast I let go of her hand when Edwin leave

"thank you my lord" she said

I saw her gaze searching around with a worried expression I could see the tears I grab her by the shoulder but I turn away immediately when I saw how he manage to tear her shirt exposing her white skin and her breast, he removed his shirt and cover her with it

"Go get change" he said under his breath

I could see her blushed as those green eyes looked away in shame before leaving; I wanted to call her and hold her in my arms and claim her I clench my fist in anger as I head towards the door way and grab Edwin by the shoulder before sending him a hard punch on his face

"don't you ever touch her!"

I found leah searching for the necklace , she looked worried and it was obvious she had change into something better but I don't know why she always had that scarf on

"Are you looking for this?" I said

She looked shocked as she look away while blushing then the memory of her flawless skin came into my mind I didn't realize I was blushing too, I handed her the necklace as she sigh in relief as she hurried away

That evening Edwin told his father he want leah as his concubine "You cant do that!" ariana flared

"He can" said beth

"You cant make her your concubine"

Eric tried to protest but the king was supporting Edwin I could see leah's hand trembling as she mistakenly spill a glass of water on me

"Am sorry my lord" she said as she tried to wipe the water away from my garment when my hands caught hers I wanted to stop her but then I felt the strange feelings and I ended up staring into those hazel green eyes as they bore into mine

"It's alright, you may leave now" I heard beth voice filled with anger
