Episode 17
Elena’s POV.
I was in the kitchen cooking up something for Harry, he’s been in his study since morning. But I don’t know what he’s doing inside.
Just as the food’s ready, a servant boy comes into the kitchen.
“My lady, Prince Harry is asking to see you” he told me.
“Ok, I’ll be there in a few” I replied.
The servant bowed a little and left.
I dish the food in a plate and head towards Harry’s study. I hold the knot and twist it opened, then I step into the study. I steady the tray and raise my head, and my heart break.
Harry sits on his chair, behind his desk and a lady who’s dressed half naked is on top of him. Harry’s arms wrapped around her waist, they seem to be entangled in their own world.
The tray falls from my hand. I feel tears running down my cheeks, I looked at Harry and we locked gaze. I expected him to push the lady away, but he didn’t. I turn around and run out.
But I heard a name as I was running out, Sarah!.
I rush out of Harry’s mansion and collides into Gabrielle. She holds me and look at me worriedly.
“Elena I was just coming to see you” she said. Then she studied my face and frown, “what happened to you? Where is Harry?” She asked.
I looked at her with my teary eyes, as she mentioned his name my heart break more, I swear I can hear the sound of my heart breaking.
“Come on, let’s go inside and wait for Harry” she said.
” N-no” I shake my head. I couldn’t form any words.
“You don’t want to go in?” She asks.
I shake my head. Going in there now will just increase the pain I’m feeling.
“Excuse me” I said in a broken voice.
“Where are you going?”
“Home!”
“Aren’t you gonna ask Harry about what happened?” She asks.
“No, I don’t need his explanation, he’s just gonna lie about it” I answered.
I step away from her, and head towards the exit, but she stops me.
“Ok. How about this, you’re in not in the right state of mind now. Can you at least come with me to my mansion and tell me exactly what happened?” She asked me. “You can also rest for a while, later I’ll have some of my guards send you home” she adds.
I think about it for a moment. I nod slowly and we head towards her mansion.
She opens her door and we step in. She leads me to a couch in the living room and sit next to me. Then she offered me a handkerchief to wipe my tears, she stand up and head to the kitchen.
Not up to five minutes, she came back with a glass of water and offered it to me.
“Thank you” I said, and she nods with a smile.
I take few gulps and placed the glass on the small table next to the couch, I burped softly.
“So.. are you ready to tell me what happened?” She asked me.
I nod. I cleared my throat.
“Gabrielle, who is Sarah?” I asked.
Her expression goes blank and her eyes harden.
“She’s Harry’s ex” she said.
My heart beat increase. His ex? No wonder they were curled up in each other’s arms, maybe he he isn’t over her yet. I guess I’m the relationship breaker.
“What happened? How did you know about Sarah?”
“She’s back” I answered absentmindedly.
“She’s back?” She asked again as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
I nod.
“Yeah. I saw them kssing”
“What?! That bch!” She exclaimed.
I lay back on the couch and closed my eyes, trying to stop tears from flowing down my cheeks.
“Elena, I think you should wait for Harry to explain things. I believe he have a proper explanation for what happened”
I scoffed, still keeping my eyes closed. I released a dry laugh.
“Gabrielle, please. Can we stop talking about this? He’ll just come up with some cock and bull story and I don’t wanna hear” I said.
“But I don’t think what you saw is actually what happened”
I sit up right with a frown.
“Gabrielle, I know what I saw. Harry’s arms wrapped around her and he was kssing her, as if he’s been missing her and dying to see her”
Gabrielle sigh.
“What if it’s the other way round?” She said.
I looked at her confused.
“What do you mean?” I asked her.
“What if she forced herself on him?”
I open my mouth to speak, but I was interrupted by a knock on the door. We both turned out heads to the door.
“I should go check Who’s knocking” Gabrielle said. I nod.
“But if it’s Harry, don’t let him in. I don’t want to see him or talk to him” I said.
She doesn’t answer me, she just head to the door. She spent some minutes at the door, before she finally walk back. I see a figure behind her, I tilted my head and see it’s Harry.
I stand up from the couch and faced Gabrielle with a blank expression.
Harry step forward and tried to hold my hands, but I take a step back and sends him a very harsh glare.
“Gabrielle, I told you I didn’t want to talk to you him. Why did you let him?” I said angrily.
“Elena, Princess listen to me… ”
“Don’t!” I said and raised my hand to stop him.
“Elena, calm down. Please listen to him” Gabrielle said.
I shake my head.
“It seems like I can’t relax here anymore, I’ll take my leave” then I head towards the door.
“Elena, wait…” I hear Gabrielle said but I didn’t listen to her. I rush off angrily.
I hear heavy footsteps coming after me, and I know it’s Harry but I didn’t stop. I don’t have the time to listen to whatever rubbish he has to say.
“Baby wait… Listen, please let me explain…”
“I don’t want to talk to you Harry, just leave me alone!” I said s walking away from him, increasing my pace with each step I take.
“It’s not what it look like” he said, now he’s running after me.
“I don’t care” I told him.
Within the twinkling of an eye, I see Harry standing in front of me. Then he bends down and carries me upside down on his shoulder.
I begin to hit his back and shake my legs, but I guess my hits are nothing to him, he doesn’t feel any pain.
“I can’t let you leave without hearing my explanation” he said and turn to take the road leading to his mansion.
“Put me down, Harry!”
“No. Not until you hear me out” he said.
“Put me down, or else… ” I trail off.
“Or else what?” He asked.
“Or I’ll… I’ll…”
” You’ll what?” I can imagine him smirking.
” I’ll scream!” I said.
He chuckled.
“Please, honey. Reserve that screaming for our bedroom” he said.
” Shut up, Harry. I’m not joking with you” I told him.
We arrived at his mansion. I see Mark running towards us, he’s sweating like he was working before.
“Your highness, we couldn’t find her” Mark said.
“Don’t worry. Tell the boys to stop searching, I’ve seen her” Harry told him.
Mark nod, then his eyes shifts me laying upside down on Harry’s shoulder.
“Your highness, why is Miss Elena on your shoulder?”
Harry sigh.
“Long story, just do what I asked you” Harry said.
” Yes, your highness” Mark said and leaves.
I start to hit Harry’s back again, this time harder than before but the dev1l didn’t flinch.
“This is kidnapping!” I said.
“I have every right to kidnap you”
Harry use his free hand to open the door and walk in. Then he put me on the sofa and placed his hands on both sides of the sofa, blocking me from escaping from him.
“Harry, let me go!”
“Baby, please let me explain, I swear I’ll tell you everything sincerely. Just please let me explain” he said.
I didn’t say anything, I kept quiet simply and bite my lower lip angrily. I take in deep breaths to calm myself down.
“You promise to tell me the truth?” I asked.
“Yes. I swear on my life, I’ll never lie to you” he answered.
I look in his eyes and saw sincerity.
“Who’s Sarah?”
“My ex”
“Your ex! What was she doing here?” I asked.
” I don’t know”
I looked at him in disbelief.
” You don’t know? Harry, I saw you two kssing and cuddling, yet you said you don’t know why she’s here? Do you take me for a fool?!”
“No, Baby calm down. You’re not a fool, but I honestly don’t know why Sarah was here. But I made it clear to her that me and her can’t work, I told her you’re the only woman in my heart. I swear”
I released a long hiss and faced away from him.
“That’s hard to believe!” I told him.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
” When I saw you, you seem like you were enjoying her company. Why didn’t you pushed her away from you?”
” I did, but you were already gone and you didn’t see it. I promise you, I’d never lie or cheat on you. Please believe me” he said.
From his expression I can clearly see that he’s genuine. But I won’t let him know that, I’ll make him suffer a little. Next time he won’t let something like this repeat itself.
I fake yawn sleepily.
“Harry, I’m tired, I wanna sleep” I told him.
“Does that mean you’ve forgiven me?” He asked.
“When I wake up, we’ll talk about it”
He nods and stand up. He carried me bridal style and head towards his room.
I smile, feeling comfortable and content in his arms. It’s like I’m finally in the place I belong, I take in a deep breath and close my eyes.
? Stephano’s POV ?
Sarah walked into my study crying and her cheek red.
“You told me he’ll fall for my seduction, but he didn’t!” She cried.
I rolled my eyes.
” So, you failed on the mission” I said.
“Yes, and it’s all because of your flaw filled plan” she whined.
I take out my gun from under my desk and shot her straight on her forehead. I watched as her body falls to the ground, then I smiled satisfactory.
I don’t keep losers alive and around me.
“Clean this mess” I told my men.
“Yes, sire” they answered and drag the body through the secret door.
“Sire, what are we gonna do now?” Morrison, my most trusted man asked.
” We’ll let the wedding take place, but we won’t let the bride arrive at the wedding venue” I told him.
” I don’t understand, sire”
” I mean, we’ll kidnap the bride and force Harry to hand over the crown to me” I explained.
Morrison think about it for some minutes, then he shake his head in disagreement.
I furrow my brows at him.
“Sire, that is too risky and I don’t think it will work, cause the security will be very tight” he said.
” Right, why didn’t I think of that?” I wondered.
” Sire, let’s allow the wedding to hold, but I have a plan. A very perfect plan, this plan will bring chaos in the palace”
” What plan is that?” I asked him.
He leans forward and whispered his plan in my ear. I smirk at his brilliant idea, that’s why I keep him. Because he always come up with a solution to my problems.
Harry, Harry!. So you think you are very smart. You want the throne right, you can have, but you’ll have to pay a heavy price for it. I don’t care if it cost my life.
