Pampered Like A Princess

Zayden was once Nelissa’s personal bodyguard and Mary’s assistant.

Zayden had planned out every step of his life meticulously and everything was perfect; that was until he met Nelissa.

He couldn’t remember when it all began. But naive, innocent Nelissa was too endearing for him and he couldn’t help but slowly fall in love with her.

The days slowly went by as he stood beside her, protecting her. Unbeknownst to him, his feelings for her started culminating as well.

Zayden knew that Nelissa would ultimately become his downfall. Hence, he did what he had to do; he got rid of her.

He didn’t step in even when Sean took her away at that time.

During those three days, Zayden loitered around aimlessly and he somehow made his way to the Bailey household.

When Nelissa curled herself into his embrace. He felt a warmth in his heart.

“Your mother has always wanted you to stay away from these people,” Zayden said softly.

“Is it because I cannot be of help to you like Susan?” Nelissa looked at Zayden pleadingly.

All of a sudden, Zayden heard footsteps approaching from the banquet hall.

Nelissa turned and walked away. That person greeted Zayden and they began to chat. Nelissa could only vaguely hear the voices behind her back.

It hurt, but she was already used to it.

Everything had changed and nothing was the same anymore.

Nelissa quickly scurried away.

Susan was standing at the end of the corridor when Nelissa walked past her. She sneered, “You really are thinking of taking everything away from me, aren’t you?”

She shoved Nelissa. However, Nelissa caught hold of her arms before she fell, and both of them tumbled to the floor. They were wearing the same dress and it was a very peculiar sight.

“Zayden is mine!”

The commotion caught the attention of the party-goers.

Nelissa had sprained her ankle earlier when she fell.

It was bruised.

No one dared to help Nelissa up and everyone rushed to Susan’s aid. They were afraid of touching Edward’s woman.

Nelissa struggled to pull herself up.

“Did you sprain your ankle?” A disgruntled man’s voice came from the crowd. Nelissa was puzzled and before she knew it, Edward had carried her up in front of everyone.

Edward glanced at her. He then glared at Susan, his eyes filled with ice-cold vengeance.

Susan quickly came before Edward, gave a respectful bow, and apologized, “Master Hales, I am so sorry. It was an accident. We just happened to trip over each other’s dresses.”

“Are you apologizing?” Edward asked.

“Yes, I am,” Susan nodded.

“Save it for the paper tomorrow. I want to see you on the headlines for tomorrow’s paper,” Edward commanded. Nelissa was shocked.

The most beautiful woman in Haleston City was going to apologize to Edward’s date. This was clearly a form of humiliation!

The Quest Group’s stocks were definitely going to take a hit.

Susan was shocked. Her face turned pale as she froze in place.

“You hurt her wrist the last time, and it’s her ankle today. Are you going to go for her waist next time?” Edward questioned Susan with Nelissa still firmly in his arms.

Nelissa was silent. She rested her head on his broad chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Edward then left. No one dared to say another word.

The crowd began to murmur.

They suggested that Edward was intentionally making things difficult for Susan because he was interested in her. That other girl, Nelissa, was just a ruse to get Susan to submit to him.

The other half of the crowd suggested that Nelissa was not an ordinary girl. She was mysterious and no one knew where she came from. Edward must be protecting her because he had taken a liking to her.

No one really knew what to expect.

Edward was still carrying Nelissa in his arms in the elevator, refusing to let go.

“I told you that we should have just asked Susan to leave early. You would never have hurt your ankle then. These snobby, ego-centric socialites could never stand someone else wearing the same outfit as they are.”

Nelissa’s head was still on his chest. The broach made it very uncomfortable to lie against.

She pulled her head away. The root of the problem was Edward after all. Had he not forced her to be his date, she was probably home right now with the twins.

The elevator stopped shortly after.

Edward walked out of the elevator with Nelissa still in his arms. He yanked the broach off his chest and tossed it to the ground.

The hotel manager asked someone to pick it up and store it carefully before sending it back to Edward. No one dared to covet Edward’s possessions.

Nelissa then leaned against Edward’s silk-linen suit again. It felt heavenly.

She dug her face deeper and Edward suddenly commented, “I realized that you would always try to coquet with me whenever you did something wrong. Did you really think that it would get you out of trouble every time?”

Nelissa defended herself, “I’m not flirting with you! My ankle is hurting.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Edward’s face darkened.

Andrew was waiting in the car and he saw the exchange. However, he was extremely professional and he didn’t even ask a single question.

He opened the car door swiftly and helped Edward and Nelissa into the car.

“Where to, Master Hales?” Andrew asked.

“The hospital,” Edward replied coldly. He then looked at his watch.

It was 9 p. m. They had only been at the banquet for an hour. Nelissa wanted to get home early so that she could spend some time with the kids.

“I don’t think that is necessary. Why don’t we just go home?”

Edward turned to look at Nelissa, “I don’t care what you and Susan were fighting about. Maybe it was because of another man, but I don’t want to know.”

“What I do care about is your ankle and I don’t want to yell at you. And you, you better stop pushing your luck and listen to what I say, okay?”

His words were full of menacing authority!

Nelissa immediately complied. She didn’t want to risk angering Edward any further.

They soon arrived at St. Richard Medical Center. Edward admitted Nelissa into a private ward and got a female doctor to help with her injury.

It was not anything serious but the contrast of the bruise and Nelissa’s fair skin exaggerated it slightly. Edward didn’t want any blemishes on this pure body that he so desired.

The doctor put on a pair of gloves and began massaging the bruise, hoping that the swelling would reduce. Nelissa’s face contorted with every gentle push.

She also let out a gentle moan each time with tears in her eyes.

It was too much for Edward to handle.

His eyes ran across Nelissa’s legs and stopped at her red, succulent lips.

He swallowed a big gulp of saliva and left the room.

Edward then went to visit Mikaelson. His mind however was still filled with Nelissa’s seductive moans and expressions.

It was just like the time they got intimate together. Edward remembered it like it was the day before.

“Does it hurt? Or does it feel good?”

“… I don’t know…”

“You feel good then.”

The doctor was done after thirty minutes. Nelissa asked Andrew to bring her a pair of slippers as she was ready to leave.

However, Edward was not back yet. Andrew then asked her to head over to Mikaelson’s ward on the twelfth floor.

“Master Hales wants you to make your way up there after you are done here,” Andrew said courteously.

What other choice did she have? Nelissa was reluctant. She didn’t know who Mikaelson was and she was afraid of offending Edward as well.

She slowly made her way to the elevator. Mary was in this medical center too, but there she was, on her way to visit another person instead of her own mother.

Meanwhile, Mikaelson had just eaten half a bowl of porridge in his ward. He took another sip of tea.

“Sophie came by today. By the way, when are you two going to settle down? Anna has been missing for so long, you should just give up. They are both from the same family anyway.”

Mikaelson assumed that Edward was delaying the wedding intentionally because he still couldn’t let go of Anna.

The Baileys and the Hales had been in quite a predicament lately and it was all because of Anna and that girl that coerced her to run away.

Edward needed a wife; someone who was worthy of him. She needed to be from a prestigious family, smart, and pretty. There need not be any feelings involved.

The door suddenly opened. Edward looked up and noticed Nelissa walking towards him.

Their eyes met and love was in the air.

“Do you know how to make tea?” Edward suddenly asked. Nelissa nodded. She had learned how to make tea because of Mary.

“Go make us a pot then,” Edward commanded.

Nelissa had her back turned against Edward and Mikaelson. However, Mikaelson recognized her; she was Edward’s secretary from before. It was a miracle that she had stayed on for so long.
