Lycan King's Regret: Punished The Wrong Daughter novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: 79- I Chose This Life

Arabella Toussaint:

After asking for directions twice, I finally found Angela’s Salon. It was smaller than I had imagined. I took a deep breath and stepped inside. It smelled good.

Soft music was playing in the background, and a few women were getting their hair done.

A young receptionist looked up from her desk and smiled politely, "Welcome to Angela’s. How can I help you?"

I looked around before walking toward her, "Um... do you have anyone named Maya working here?"

The receptionist’s smile widened, "Maya? Yes, we have Maya. But she doesn’t work here. She’s the owner."

Owner?

"Oh..." A slow smile spread across my face. My friend was a salon owner?

She actually did it.

The receptionist called one of the workers, "Could you please ask Ms. Maya to come to the reception? Someone is here to see her."

The young woman nodded and disappeared through the hallway.

"Please have a seat," The receptionist pointed toward a small waiting area.

"No thanks."

I was too excited to sit still and tapped my hand against my thigh while waiting for her impatiently. I kept staring at the hallway like a kid, waiting for my friend to show up..

See! I made it.

That was what I would tell her when she would hug me. I looked up when I heard the footsteps.

A huge smile spread across my face as I walked ahead, ready to throw myself at her. But after two steps, I had to stop, and the smile on my face disappeared. The woman walking toward me wasn’t Maya. She was older and taller.

"Yes? What can I do for you?" She asked me with a polite smile, and I started shaking my head.

"I’m sorry. There must be a misunderstanding. You’re not the Maya I know."

They were looking at me in confusion, and my heart slowly sank when a horrible thought crossed my mind.

I have nowhere to go. Tonight, I have to sleep on a bench under the open sky.

***

Three nights.

I had spent three whole nights sleeping on the footpath because even the public benches were almost always occupied.

And I swear to Moon Goddess. Every single night, I not only missed that soft royal bed but also King Lucien’s arms around me. The thought made me sigh.

What did he do after I disappeared?

Was he still looking for me?

Had he gone back to Jasmine?

I started shaking my head in frustration. I shouldn’t be thinking about him anymore. That Chapter of my life was over.

There was no space for King Lucien in my new life.

Yeah. Sometimes I did imagine myself a queen, walking beside the king.
