Episode 25?
? Gabrielle’s POV ?
Later that evening….
I sit in front of my TV, staring at it absentmindedly, thinking of ways to plead with Harry on behalf of Elena. After all, I dragged Harry and Elena into this mess.
“Your highness” a voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
I cleared my throat and looked at the person in front of me, he’s one of my men. I sent him to investigate the death of Harry’s mother.
“Found anything yet?” I asked him.
“Nothing much your highness, but at least we’ve got a lead” he answered.
“What did you find?”
“Your highness, it’s true that the queen and Prince Harry’s mother was in the same room and a gun shot was heard, then later Prince Harry’s mother was announced dead”
“Yes, what happened next?” I asked impatiently.
I don’t want to believe that my mother killed Harry’s mother just to be queen, there should be more to it.
If she killed Harry’s mother to be queen, then why is she always trying Harry so nice and why would she refused to help her biological son.
“According to a maid, she was wandering around when she heard the queen begging someone not to pull the trigger, then suddenly she heard a gun shot. Out of fear she ran off”
A maid? How come she didn’t come out to testify when dad was investigating the case.
“Why didn’t she come out then?”
“Well, she was just 10years old, she had just lost her parents then and was sent to the palace to work as a maid. She had nobody then and was scared that harm might come to her later” he explained.
Hmm. That makes sense, I would have been scared too.
“Where is the maid now? Bring her here let me look at her” I told him.
“Yes, your highness” then he leaves.
I step out of my mansion and head towards Harry’s. I think it’s high time I told him about this, then he can take the investigation from here.
No! I don’t think this is the right time to tell him about this, he’s already got enough on his plate.
I might just check on Elena.
Just few steps almost there, I meet Harry coming out of his car, his bodyguard standing next to him. I changed my mind and head towards him.
“Hi, H-harry” I stuttered.
He looks at me, then walk pass me without saying a word. I quickly run in front of him and block his path.
“What are you doing? Get out of my way” he said.
I fall on my knees.
“What are you doing, get up” he tried to lift me up but I shrugged his hands off me.
“Harry, I know we did wrong. No, I did wrong. I shouldn’t have forced Elena to go with me to the club, please don’t shut Elena out. I… ”
“Gab stand up and we’ll talk” he said and raised me up.
“Harry, do you trust your wife?” I asked him.
He keeps quiet, looking straight ahead with his jaw clenched.
“I don’t wanna meddle in you and your wife’s affair, but know this. Elena will never cheat on you, we were drugged and we had illusions, I personally thought I was already back at my mansion and I was sleeping on my bed. Talk to Elena, listen to her and hear what she has to say. I don’t mind if you don’t forgive me, but you mustn’t push Elena away” after saying that I left.
? Prince Harry’s POV ?
I watch as Gabrielle leave. What she said kinda makes sense, I should talk to Elena, after all this is hard for the two of us. She’s the victim and instead of I to comfort her, I’m busy pushing her away.
I rushed inside and see Elena sitting on a sofa in our living room, she had a phone on her ear. I didn’t mean to eveasdrop on her conversation but a word caught my attention.
“Thanks barrister, I’ll get the papers tomorrow” she said.
I rushed to her and snatch the phone from her. She stands up abruptly and stares at me with her eyes wide open, almost as if she’s caught doing something bad.
I checked the phone, the call is still ongoing. I bring the phone closer to my ear.
“…… But you must find a way to get his signature” a man’s voice said from the other side.
I angrily throw the phone across the living room and look at Elena accusingly.
“Papers? Signature?. Can you tell me what this is about?” I asked her.
I know clearly what she is trying to do, but I wanna hear her say it.
“H-harry… It’s… It…”
“It’s what, Elena? Huh?” I asked again.
I stare into her eyes waiting for her to give me an explanation.
“Harry, I’m getting a divorce” she said looking everywhere but my eyes.
“Divorce? Really?” I lets out a little snort. “How can you think of getting a divorce at a time like this?”
She turned away from me.
“You won’t understand”
“Understand what, Elena?”
“I did wrong, ok. I admit that I’m at fault and getting this divorce is the best solution” she said.
“Us getting divorced won’t help anything, it’ll…. ”
“Of course it will” turns back to me and I see her eyes red like she could break down any moment. “I’m bad luck, ok”
“Don’t say that, you’re….”
“Can’t you see what’s happening, Harry?. It’s just two days ago we got married and now I’m already causing you so much trouble. Imagine how much trouble I’m gonna cause you later in the future”
“But I’m… ”
“It’s known l over the country, to the media I’m a white, a slut. I’m…. ”
I can’t listen to her blaspheme herself like this, so I smashed my lips on hers. She tries to push me off, but I didn’t bug.
Though I didn’t take the kss further but it’s enough to shut her up.
“Elena, never speak of getting a divorce. No matter what happens, no matter how much trouble comes our way, we’ll face it together” I told her.
“But you’ve been avoiding me, and besides the officials wants you to divorce me” she said in a sad tone.
” Don’t mind them. You are my wife, you are the only one I’ll ever marry in this lifetime and every other lifetime. I’ll never divorce” I assured her.
I feel her smile.
“So do you trust me now?”
“I’ve always trusted you”
She quickly wrap her arms around me in a tight hug, I hug her back.
” Thanks Harry!”
“Hmm” I hummed.
Even though I trust Elena, I still have to know wether Stephano slept with her or not.
