❤️ A Man Called Storm (Part 36) ❤️
Gwen shook her head when she saw Storm's alarmed look on his face.
Being assured by her that she was okay with Morgan, Storm walked past them.
They had gone a little far from the prison when Morgan suddenly let go of her arms, facing her with a serious expression.
"Stay away from him."
"And why should I stay away from him?"
"He is our prisoner and I say so and you must do as I say," Morgan replied and leaned forward, so close was he that his forehead was nearly touching Gwen's own which made her smile. "I didn't know you had so much interest in being a servant that would be bringing our prisoner food. You could have told me and I would gladly accept you as one of our servants."
Gwen's smile faded as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did Morgan suddenly forget the daughter of who she is? On a normal day, Morgan can't say such a thing to her and if not that she loved him. She could have buried him alive with her bare hands.
"I see now that in your eyes I am just a lowly servant but not Gwenevere. I am sorry that this servant girl finds you handsome and she loves you. But now I can see that I was a bundle to you, I am sorry for showing you the softer side of me," Gwen said and then closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath before opening her eyes. There was no more warmth in it anymore. "Now get this into your stupid useless skull, that is if you have any. The next time you drag me when I am with someone, like what you did a few minutes ago. I am going to show you why Storm became my friend. Stay away Prince Morgan, we are not on the same level." she added, turned around and left him standing in surprise.
Morgan watched her go with mixed feelings.
When did he call her a servant girl? He was only trying to tell her that it is the job of a servant to serve their prisoner food and not her. Whatever she will come around.
He thought and then shrugged off his shoulders, as he went to look for his brother.
Morgan knew by midnight Gwen will be in his room by then her anger must have wean off.

Emera's House:
Rumi entered the compound in anger. She went straight to her room and then locked the door. Sat down on the floor and closed her eyes.
Soon she was in the same room with her mother, Sarah.
"I thought you were joking when you said you will see me soon," Sarah said with a mock smile.
"I'm not in the mood to joke, mother. I came here for something important," Rumi said with seriousness.
"Something important? Like freeing me?" Sarah asked.
"No, get that out of your mind."
"If you are not freeing me then what's so important?"
"I need to make someone fall in love with me, I have tried to be a good girl to him but he is seeing my kindness and love as nothing. I need to make him fall in love with me," Rumi said. "Do you know a spell that can do that for me?"
"I know that look, I was also once in your shoes but he rejected me and ended up with her. His love for her overcame my spell. But I made sure she suffered it," Sarah said.
"I wasn't asking you if your lost love story mother, I was asking you a simple question. Do you or do you not?"
"A spell huh? I might know one or two spells Rumiana but it depends on who you want to use it for. Like I said, his love overpowered my spell on him and he married her. But I made sure they didn't have their happily ever after," Sarah said and then regarded Rumi from head to toe. "I am so glad of what I did to them." she added after a minute of silence as Rumi processed what she told her.
"Mine isn't in love with her yet  but will fall in love with her soon if I don't do something about it or stop him. She is just a reminder of his past which he couldn't ignore because of the scar he bears. I love his mother and I can't allow anyone to have him if not me."
"Possessive huh, I will help you on one condition," Sarah said.
"What condition mother, if it is within my power I will do it. After all this will be my first time asking for your help," Rumi said.
"My condition is simple. Release me from this prison my daughter," Sarah said.

Emperor Palace:
Storm totally ignored Kando who was quietly eating, bent down and pushed the plate of food towards Kira on the floor before he straightened up.
Smiling slightly at him as she moves across the cell to collect the plate then shifts it to the end of the cell before facing him, eyeball to eyeball. The only thing separating them was the iron bars. "When she told me 'he is coming with yours' I wondered who she was referring to, I didn't know she was talking about you," Kira said. "That's very thoughtful of you. If you starve me to death you won't be getting any answers from my dead body." she added. "I just hope your woman doesn't come here to drag you away like they did to your friend."
"She is not my woman but your step sister."
"Then why did she come here to threaten me?" Kira asked and then what Storm said registered in her head. "What did you say? The mean girl is my step sister? No wonder she looks so familiar to me."
"She looks so familiar to you but I don't look familiar to you?"
"Look, let's assume I remember who I was, now whatever I did to you in the past, should stay in the past please. I am only adding please because I still don't know who Juno is and because she might have hurt you in the past. So forgive her," Kira said, ignoring her food to focus on Storm. She will eat later.
"Are you seeing my face? She did this to me when I was little. She was my only friend and didn't see me as a monster or cursed. She defended me once and that made me like her. It hurts to see the person you once saw as a friend turn around and stab you in the back you know, it hurts a lot Juno. I want to torture you so badly for what you did to me.."
"To me your scars made you more handsome and your skin color look so unique," Kira said and slowly stretched her right hand towards his face thinking he would remove her hand but Storm still and continue staring at her. She could sense his anger. Lightly touching Storm on his scar face. "Juno is sorry, okay." Then she lifted up her other arm and slowly traced her fingers on his other cheek. "Your eyes are so unique too." she smiled when Storm closed his eyes and leaned more to feel her touch, his anger going away. "Your skin is so soft just like Dean's own."
"Who the hell is Dean?" Storm asked with clenched teeth. His anger returned in full force.
"Her husband," Kando replied him instead.
