Diora had just had her night bath and now on the bed ready to sleep when she heard a knock on the door which made her open her eyes straight away.
Who could that be? She thought but managed to get down from the bed, she yawned as she dragged her legs out of the bedroom to get the door.
As she opened, Timothy came to view and Diora raised her brows.
"Huh?" She blinked.
"The boss want you in his suite, right now" Timothy said.
"His....suite?" She stuttered unbelievably
Timothy nodded.
"I will put on something" Diora closed the door and batted her lashes still in surprise but didn't want to waste time so she hurriedly returned to the room to get rid of her pajamas for something more nice.
Seems like there's no pants in her closet at all, just dresses that look expensive. But after searching for ten minutes she got a simple gown to wear then she went out to met Timothy.
"Please come with me" Timothy said and she nodded slowly.
As she followed him, she was biting her lips and playing with her nails, she was so nervous and at the same time curious.
But what if he's actually mad at her? Did Morana told him anything? Or what?
They walked for some minutes and finally they arrived at Kyros's suite, immediately they entered,She began to admire how beautiful it actually looks like.
"Wait here, I will inform the boss first" Timothy told her when they entered the living room,but Diora didn't hear that,she just continue looking around.
Timothy returned back just a minute later and Diora faced him.
"He wants you in his room" He told her and she blinked.
"Huh?"
"His room, that way" Timothy pointed out the direction and walked away just like that.
Diora swallowed and began walking toward the direction he pointed out, he finally opened the bedroom door and slowly entered.
She was taking slow steps and trying to close the door without making any sound.
"What are you doing?" Came the deep cold voice behind her, Diora flinched and quickly closed the door before turning. Kyros was standing there,staring back at her,shirtless and one of his hands inserted into his pocket.
"Hi" Diora mumbled and bit her lower lip.
Kyros scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Come over" He said and walked to the bed, Diora followed him without argument.
Kyros sat down on the bed while she stood in front of him like a child waiting to be scolded.
Kyros stared at her, from what she was putting on, everything,totally not his taste at all. But that's not why she's there,so he just ignored it.
"Over there" He pointed at the table beside Diora and she turned to see.
It's a brand new phone,and a new ipad too,all still in pack. Her eyes widened and she faced Kyros back.
"I heard you don't have a phone" Kyros said.
"You need one, and that...do whatever you want with it" He added.
Diora couldn't move from her position, her eyes remained on Kyros and he could read that she was shocked and almost at the point of tears.
"Don't cry here, I hate it" He said coldly.
Diora immediately sniffed and looked away, she picked the electronics.
"The phone is charged already, I got a sim and my number is saved in there, you can call me if you need anything" Kyros said.
"Thank you" Diora muttered.
"Thank you, really" She said again.
"You can go" Kyros said and she bowed shortly before taking a step to leave.
"Wait" Kyros called and she immediately turned.
"Get prepared for tomorrow, you're getting registered in a university"
Diora gasped out loudly with wide eyes.
"I'm going to school?! Really?!" She screamed and started jumping around the room without thinking.
Kyros stared at her blankly as she jumped excitedly, her long hair following every movement,till she became calm.
"I will get really prepared! Early in the morning,thank you!!" She screamed and ran out.
Kyros could still hear her giggles even after she left the room.
*
Diora ran into her bedroom with total happiness and excitement uplifting her soul,she jumped on the bed with the gifts she just got and began unpacking, she unpacked the ipad first and almost couldn't believe her eyes. She never thought she would have this thing, she hugged it to herself for like two minutes before plugging it to charge.
Then she shifted to the phone and turned it on, Kyros was right,he saved his contact on the phone.
She chuckled when she saw what he saved it as.
"Seriously? Kyros?" She bit her lips and immediately tried editing the name, she changed it to 'Hubby'. But then she thought about it and sighed, is she allowed to call him that?
She edited it and changed it to 'Hubby, for now'
"That's better" She muttered.
That night, she was on that phone all through,trying to learn how to use it at once,until she got tired then plugged the phone also.
Before she slept, her mind went to Kyros's ex wives, why would they leave him if he's actually this nice? Or is there a deeper reason she doesn't know about? He's not that bad.
She decided to stop thinking and sleep, she's getting registered in a university tomorrow,what else does she need? A smile appeared on her face even after closing her eyes in peace.
...
๐๐๐ฑ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ .
Diora smiled with satisfaction as she stared at herself in the mirror after dressing up for school, she was dressed in jeans outfit, a short skirt and the top with jeans sneakers too. Her hair was packed in a cute and high ponytail.
The door opened and Oceane entered with Eclipse and Pandora which confused Diora as she stared at their unfamiliar faces.
"Hi cutie" Eclipse waved with a smile.
"Wow, the boss's bride is really pretty" Pandora chuckled.
"Oh...thank you" Diora muttered.
Oceane walked out of the room.
"You must be confused, don't be. We work for the Duke, and he wants us to help you with some stuffs for today" Eclipse said.
"Oh" Diora nodded.
"I'm Eclipse"
"Pandora"
"Diora"
"Pretty name" Pandora smiled.
"Thanks"
"I guess you are really, shall we go?" Eclipse asked.
Diora nodded and took her small bag on the bed and her phone.
"How old are you? You look quite young" Eclipse said on their way out.
"You don't have to ask" Pandora groaned.
Eclipse ignored her and looked at Diora again.
"Twenty two"
"Oh wow, I'm a year older, we are one year older. But don't worry, let's be casual with each other" Eclipse said and Diora nodded.
"Excuse me, I am two years older,not one. Are you messing with me?" Pandora snapped.
"Anyhow, what's the difference between one and two?" Eclipse scoffed.
"The difference is that I am older than your ass" Pandora said and Diora chuckled.
"I've never seen anyone brag about their age like she does, avoid her" Eclipse told Diora and walked faster.
Pandora scoffed.
As they approached the car, they saw Ryker and Timothy coming too.
Immediately, Eclipse adjusted and brushed her hair with her fingers, Pandora saw that and scoffed.
"Ryker hi" Eclipse waved.
Both Ryker and Timothy turned and saw them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Timothy asked.
"The boss gave us an interesting job" Eclipse smirked.
"Really?" Ryker looked at Diora and gave her a short bow.
"Morning" Diora said in a soft voice.
Eclipse was about talking when they sighted Kyros coming, immediately,they all bowed their heads low,including all the other guards standing around.
Diora's eyes followed him till he got close and the guards immediately opened the car door for him, Kyros saw her and their eyes met. But as expected,he ignored her totally and entered the car like he didn't see her.
"Bye" Timothy and Ryker said and immediately entered the same car Kyros entered. Soon about five cars left the compound at the same time.
"Let's go Diora, who's driving?"
Pandora swing the car key in her hand and Eclipse opened the back door for Diora.
"Thank you" she said and entered.
Eclipse joined Pandora in front and she also drove out of the castle.

๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.
"We are here" Eclipse smiled as they approached the school main gate.
"Wow, it's my first time seeing Larkspur in reality, it's bigger and more beautiful than I imagined" She added dreamily.
Meanwhile, Diora was already lost staring too, mesmerized by everything,especially when Pandora drove into the school. But thinking about it, the school is empty,why?
"I heard the new session starts in three days time, admission is actually over. You are lucky Diora" Pandora said and Diora looked at her.
"You only need to do something like an interview to get in, it's the boss influence" Eclipse explained better.
"Oh" Diora muttered.
Pandora parked in the lots and the three of them got down.
"Wow, so beautiful" Diora muttered and took few pictures, she could at least show Oceane.
Soon, they arrived in the Chancellor's office, Pandora and Eclipse had to wait outside and Diora was taken in alone.
In the end, they spent about three hours before Diora finished all the necessary things she had to do.
"I'm fucking tired" Eclipse groaned and hugged Pandora from the back.
Pandora sighed.
"I'm sorry it's because of me" Diora muttered.
"Of course not!" Pandora and Eclipse said so loudly that Diora flinched.
"We aren't complaining, do you want us dead?" Eclipse asked.
"No I..."
"We are good, what are we doing next?"
"Shopping, you need clothes for college" Eclipse winked
"I have clothes..."
"Those dresses are what you called clothes? You need to dress like a college student, hot and sexy,slim beauty, follow me little bitch" Eclipse smirked.
"She's a fashionista" Pandora whispered to Diora.
"Oh"
"Get in the car girls! I'm driving!" Eclipse shouted from the car.
"Let's go"
Diora and Pandora entered the car and Eclipse drove off in speed
*
Diora stared with wide eyes when she saw how many the clothes Pandora and Eclipse picked for her, different shoes too,bags,and other girly stuffs and they aren't done yet, also, they are expensive wears.
"Girls" Diora's voice came out soft.
"What is it?"
"Don't you think....it's too much?" Diora asked.
"What do you mean too much? We are using one of Boss's cards, unlimited. Don't bore me girl" Eclipse groaned and Pandora chuckled.
"Go on to the jewelry store and pick some too, go on" Pandora told her.
Diora sighed and left then there to check out the jewelries, she found them so quick and was beginning to check when suddenly she heard some familiar voices. She took the last bracelet she saw and turned to see where the voices are coming from, she didn't take more than five steps before she saw them.
She was right,those voices. Her three sisters were right in front of her,all their eyes roaming through her body.
Maliah, Rona and Sitara all stared at her blankly without saying a word.
Diora chose to understand,since they are older,it's only normal if she says 'hi' first, so she smiled and was about speaking up when Kitra appeared too.
'Oh, She's Kyros's sister' Diora thought.
"Girls! Sorry I kept you waiting!" She hugged the three girls and Diora watched.
Kitra turned and saw Diora, she recognized her but acted like she didn't.
"Do you know who she is?" She asked.
"No we don't" Maliah,Rona and Sitara all said at once.
Diora quickly hid her hand, she actually almost waved at Kitra too.
"Then, let's go" Kitra smiled and like that the four left without sparing Diora another glance.
She swallowed hard and almost lost her breath, did her blood sisters just denied knowing her? Did they just....why going so far?
She had to support herself with the shelf as tears found their ways out of her eyes.
"Diora?" She heard Pandora and Eclipse calling so she immediately wiped her tears and cleared her throat.
"I'm over here" She answered.
They paid for everything they got and left the mall.
Pandora noticed Diora's mood and turned from the front.
"Girl you okay?" She asked
"Oh, yeah...I'm fine" Diora smiled.
"I'm hungry,anyone hungry? It's evening and we haven't eaten anything" Eclipse muttered.
"Let's stop by a restaurant then" Pandora said.
"You hungry too right? Diora?"
"Yes I am" She replied and sighed.

"It's been a while since I saw you" Kate stood up when Kyros walked in.
She immediately dropped her bag and ran to hug him.
Kate is the Minister's youngest daughter.
"Yeah same here" Kyros replied simply and broke the hug when she didn't make any attempt to do so.
"I didn't expect you to wait until my meeting is over" Kyros said.
"Oh, it's nothing actually. I just wanted to see you badly" She smiled.
Kyros sat down and she sat right next to him, barely leaving a space between them.
"I've missed you so much, I was sad when I heard you got a betroth,but I haven't seen any news of you getting married. So I guessed it wouldn't happen again" She said.
"I have a wife, you're right" Kyros said and Kate blinked, but the smiled.
"Oh really? Is it a secret? I guess she's not someone you can show off, I feel bad, everything happened when I left, but I'm back now" She held Kyros's hand.
Kyros checked the time and stood up.
"It's late, you should leave" He said and adjusted his shirt.
"Kyros" Kate stood up too and faced him.
"You can't reject me, you and father are..."
"Go home" Kyros cut her off and she grabbed his arm.
"Walk me out then" She smiled.
Kyros looked at her but said nothing, she clung unto him as he walked out.
They were walking along the company's passage when Kyros caught a glimpse of Eclipse,she also saw him and quickly ran over.
"Boss" She bowed.
"What are you doing here?" Kyros asked.
"I'm sorry Boss, Diora insisted that she wanted to see what your work place looks like." She said.
Kyros was yet to reply when he saw Diora coming too, looking around. She already got close before she saw Kyros,then her gaze fell on Kate,and the way she held Kyros.
She quickly turned back to leave.
"Where are you going?" Kyros asked and she froze,then faced them back.
Kyros threw Kate's arm off him and looked at her.
"I need to go now, my wife is here" He said.
"Huh?" Kate blinked.
Diora also stared in shock, she hasn't gotten herself back when Kyros grabbed her hand and dragged her away. Leaving both Kate and Eclipse in shock, but Kate was almost not breathing as she stared at the couples, Diora's head far below Kyros's shoulder.
*
Kyros didn't let go of Diora's hand,neither did she said a word until they entered his office and he let her go.
She swallowed and bit her lips.
"Where were you going? You wanted to leave?" Kyros asked.
"That was....was...because....she...was...holding your arm." Diora stuttered,looking down.
Kyros raised his brows.
"Are you..dating her..too?" Diora asked softly.
"What do you mean too? Who else?" He asked.
"The one...at home"
Kyros immediately knew she was talking about Morana.
"I'm not dating any of them, and the one at home,won't be showing up again" He said and she finally looked up.
"Why?"
"I ended it with her" Kyros replied.
"Oh" Diora mumbled and looked down, then a smile appeared on her face.
