CHAPTER 2: THE DARK PRINCE

Mariah walked through the crowded hallways of her new school, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. It was her first day, and she hoped to make a good impression on her classmates. As she turned a corner, she bumped into someone, causing her books to scatter across the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Mariah exclaimed, bending down to gather her belongings. When she looked up, she found herself face to face with a mysterious boy. His dark hair fell effortlessly over his piercing blue eyes, and his lips curled into a slight smirk.

"No need to apologize," he replied smoothly, his voice sending shivers down Mariah's spine. "Allow me to help you."

Klein, the prince of darkness, had been observing Mariah from afar ever since she stepped foot in the school. There was something about her that intrigued him, a spark that ignited a curiosity he couldn't ignore. As he picked up her books, he couldn't help but notice the way her eyes sparkled with intelligence and kindness.

As their hands brushed against each other, Mariah felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her. She couldn't explain it, but there was an undeniable connection between them. Klein's presence seemed to draw her in, his mysterious aura captivating her senses.

Klein couldn't help but be drawn to Mariah's beauty. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back, framing a face that seemed to glow with warmth and innocence. Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of emerald green, held a depth that he found irresistible. It was as if he could see her soul through them.

As they stood up, Mariah couldn't help but admire Klein's perfect structure and looks. Tall and lean, he exuded an air of confidence that was both intimidating and alluring. His chiseled jawline and perfectly sculpted features made it difficult for her to look away.

"Thank you," Mariah said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"The pleasure is all mine," Klein replied, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I hope to see you around, Mariah."

As he walked away, Mariah couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull towards him. There was something about Klein that made her heart race and her mind wander. She couldn't shake off the feeling that their encounter was more than just a coincidence.

Klein, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about Mariah. There was a fire within her, a light that seemed to shine brighter than anything he had ever seen. He knew he had to uncover the secrets behind her captivating presence, for there was something hidden within her that intrigued him beyond measure.

Little did they know that their paths would continue to intertwine, leading them down a path of darkness, secrets, and an attraction that neither of them could resist. The prince of darkness had found his match in the stunning lady, and their destinies were about to collide in ways they could never have imagined.
