ARTEMISIA

My head thumped and my temple throbbed as I came to.

I saw Sin head hovering over mine and I glimpsed the alarmed look in his eyes.

He breathed out when he noticed me staring at him.

"Thank goodness, you are awake! I thought you were dead."

"I know you hate me but don't think you can get rid of me easily." I winced, rubbing my neck.

He chuckled, shaking his head.

Despite how awful I was feeling, I smiled.

My brows creased whilst staring at him. I blushed as I noticed him doing the same but my eyes didn't leave his.

His hand moved to touch a strand of my hair but he retracted it almost immediately. He hopped down from the bed, striding towards the wardrobe.

He flung it open and grabbed the shirt his hand came in contact with first.

"Where are you going?" I asked as he walked towards the door whilst adjusting the top button of the t-shirt he had slipped into.

He turne

"This is where we use as the ballroom."

I nodded as the maid, personally assigned to me and also my tour guide, pointed to the room where I had met Queen Ada, Sin's Mom and his siblings yesterday.

Even though I hadn't seen much since we arrived due to how dark it was yesterday. With the little I had seen, the palace was a bit extravagant from the outside.

I wasn't surprised since the first house Sin had taken me to was the same way too. Extremely extravagant and it screams wealthy.

An average man wouldn't be able to afford it and I wasn't ready to ask the amount of money he had spent on the house either.

More so, this palace, just like the first house he had taken me to, was a bit isolated.

It seemed better at least. People were roaming around as I looked out of the small window present in the room.

I believed one of the reasons we were here was due to the throne which

I woke up again some hours later.

I turned to glance at the time on the wall clock that was above the headboard of the bed.

10:00 AM

I slept until the next morning. Normally, if I wasn't suffering from a hangover, I would have woken up two times before morning came.

I was that weird. Most times, I didn't know the reason for waking up at that particular time. Whilst sometimes, it was due to nightmares.

However, I was glad that none happened or maybe it did and I couldn't remember.

Sighing, I glanced around the room and I glimpsed a pink sticky note which was attached to the nightstand.

"Eat."

My stomach chose the time to grumble and I winced as I felt a twinge at my side.

"I need to eat," I stated, placing the sticky note back where it was.

I stepped down from the bed and walked to the bathroom.

My head didn't feel as heavy as before where it seemed like I was carryi

He turned and glanced at me. "Are you missing my company already?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
