**Leah**

4 years, 5 months, 14 days and 5 hours since I last saw my baby sister, Aliyah. I see her on the Billboards all the time, hosting events, she's so...

Grown up.

To the point, I'm ashamed to be called her sister.

I watched the guy who just hooked up with me few minutes ago, take a smoke, he was sitting on the chair beside the bed then I realised how fucked up my life is. I didn't know I could go this far. I seeked freedom, but instead I got.

This.

I'm living in a 2 bedroom apartment, living off the money of cheating husbands in hopes I'd get food on my table this night, in high hopes, I'd find something to live for.

Dad died a couple of years back, I didn't even attend the burial cause I was too busy living "the time of my life" with some boyfriend that dumped me anyways.

I grabbed the sheets of the bed, hoping I could get out from this nightmare, I wanted to go back home, just maybe, I don't know?

Rewrite everything and start new, I'm just sick of these drugs, they try to make me high and happy but that's just temporary, once they wear off I'm dragged back to this hell they call life.

I stood up and stretched, I was half naked but I didn't care, the man in his early 50s has seen it all so why should I hide anymore.

He took another puff and smacked my bottom, I glared at him and her instantly recoiled his arm.

I went over to the counter to brew some coffee to get my mind over things, the man didn't seem concerned in my movements and I liked it that way.

After all he had a wife that was probably waiting for him to finish his _night shift_ and he'd assure her that, while he was playing around with some whore like me.

**Aliyah**

Aliyah went over to the dining room, the suspense killing her as her father peered into her soul, until a smile cracked the iceberg, he was smiling, knowing what will happen next and that was Aliyah's weakness, not knowing what will happen next.

He waved his hand to beckon Luke to come over, and he did.

Luke bent down to sign a contract "what's wrong with this dude and contracts?" She muttered to herself, but even at that she could see Luke smiling, did he have some kind of super hearing?

***

After all the formalities Luke swept Aliyah off her feet literally and led her to the carriage, it felt just like a court wedding, but way more boring, Aliyah couldn't help but to feel his shoulders and his arms gently carrying her to her new found fantasy bed _ehem_ home (a/n: narration gone wrong IMAO)

As she entered the carriage he didn't drop her but carried her on his laps, she was so dazed, she didn't even bother to look at the distance from his kingdom to her, or to look at the pretty flowers that bloomed.

She kept staring into his eyes that were filled with mystery and an inch of sorrow, she couldn't sense or explain why he felt sorrow.

"Are you okay? You don't look okay." She said, drawing out her words. "I'm okay its just that white was my mom's favourite colour."He said slowly.

She got off his lap and looked him straight in the eyes. "I'm sorry I reminded you of her" she said, lowering her head.

"Oh no, don't be sorry. It's actually a relief to have a bit of home in front of me." She straightened herself, she had been so concentrated on this she forgot she had a home, Leah.

She didn't even know where her own blood sister was, she lowered her head of disappointment in herself, if only she could rewrite the start of all this mayhem, maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't be here.

The chariot came to a halt.

Aliyah sprung up from her thoughts, and frantically searched the environment, it was just like Dynopia but bigger, the royal palace, was 5 times as big as her entire palace, she tried not to gawk but she couldn't resist as she came down from the chariot and took a moment to admire.

"Try to wipe your drool when you're done" Luke said with a sarcastic tone while passing her, their shoulders barely touched

_'oh it's on!'_

Aliyah inwardly made a promise to roast him till he was burnt, figuratively of course.

It seemed like she couldn't get enough of competitions, she was sure it wasn't hereditary.

She took her first step on this foreign land, and soon enough she went running to catch up to the man who led her here, Luke had already disappeared into the doors, wasn't he supposed to give her a tour?

_'Man he was acting like some stupid-'_ she held her thoughts, deeming them, very impolite.

She got to the massive hall room, decorated with excessive, everything, she didn't want to take time to look and see them she just hurried wherever she smelt his scent.

And that took her a long way, until she opened a creaked open door, she knew she shouldn't be snooping around, but she can't just wait outside for directions.

She neared for the door and opened it. His scent drove her senses crazy, he was here, she entered slowly and crept carefully she stumbled upon someone underneath a satin cover, presumably a dressing area for Royals.

"Have you come to peep at me Aliyah?" He asked her, her throat dried up as he emerged from his cover and neared her, he was only shirtless, not like he was naked.
