(Iris POV).I woke up with a slight headache as I prey my eyes open and met with total darkness. My eyes felt heavy and my limps weak. Someone choked me out last night and I can’t even tell exactly where I am.The more I stare up at the ceiling, the more I realized I wasn’t in a familiar place to begin with which made me blink several times before my eyes adjusted to my environment.My head was spinning really bad or was it the ceiling that was moving. I can’t really tell but after another minute of paying attention to the outside surrounding, I realized I was inside a moving carriage, jolting me up a bit."Where am I?, was I being kidnapped?” I asked out loud as I struggled into a sitting position. I knocked above me trying to get the attention of the coach man and truly I did after several attempts as I noticed the carriage slowed down completely to a stop.I noticed my bracelet was not in my possession reminding me of last night foolishness. It was really thoughtless of me to even
Prince Otis POV)I just stood there with clenched fist, trying to figure out the connection between Iris and West missing situation. Is there something I haven’t realized yet or am I wrong to think those two are actually together.I mean, was she kidnapped and West went after the people that took her? That seems like something given the fact that he was her personal guard but still, I’m confused as to why he didn’t think it was wise to inform me about what had happened if that was to be the case.Too many questions and assumptions running through my head at this point, most of which was causing my blood to boil in anger.“Your Highness, what else do you want me to do?” Henry asked, pulling my attention again. For a moment there I actually forgot he was still in my study as I turned to look at him.“I need you to go back to the servant quarters and bring a girl named, Agnes for me”“As you wish, your Highness” He said with a slight bow before walking out the door.I reached into my poc
(Iris POV).I was famished and tired from so much heat from the sun even though I had to hide under a cloak all through the day. My skin still feel as though I have been literally set on fire.Logan decided to dump our carriage. According to him, it was slowing us down and needed to go faster thereby putting my life at risk.Thankfully, it’s completely dark at this point and Logan still doesn’t look like he is about to slow down any time soon.“Logan?” I called at him and he simply glance at me.“You to slow down for a bit. It’s already dark and we have been riding all through the day and I figured it would be best to probably rest” I requested with hope that he might say but he refused."Why?" I asked him over his shoulders."We have to keep moving. I have no doubt we are being trailed right now so can’t delay," he replied and my frown deepen.What exactly is wrong with this man. I mean, he has literally dragged me through the scorching sun up until this moment without a single remor
Logan didn't budge about my confession, he only looked at me as though I have grown an extra pair of head before he burst out with laughter and I just couldn’t help but Wonder what exactly was so funny.I just told him I’m carrying the Prince’s child and all he could do was laugh at me? Because I don’t think anything I said was funny.The Logan I know isn't like this, he has always been gentle, cool, understanding and supportive."What happened to him?" I asked myself, still not believing his change of attitude. I wish he would listen to me and forget about having a new life with me in another village because it would never work.Prince Otis would never allow that, he would never stop searching until he found me.“Laugh all you want, Logan but I was telling the truth. I’m carrying the Prince’s child in my womb”His laughter abruptly ceased at my word and I backed away from him, his countenance has changed to anger and he was now looking mean and devilish."You can't have the prince ch
Logan smiled to himself and brought out a wire, he came closer to where I lay and used it to bind my hands and feet together. What I failed to realize from the onset was the fact that Logan had come prepared for this very much but I I wasn't. He had used my emotion to get me because he knows that I would never watch him suffer no matter what state I was in.And the unknown substance had spread on me had hurt like hell. Where did he even got it from. It can only be obtained in the black market which means that Logan had been visiting the black market."Why are you doing this? You are hurting me" I told him with tears in my eyes."I can't watch you suffer anymore, the Prince is devilish, he is only using you as a pleasure tool and wouldn't end up with you. Open your eyes Iris, and you would see what I'm talking about. A man that loves you would go the extra mile for you, he can never stay a day without seeing you or purposely turn a blind eye to your suffering and condition," Logan sai
As much as I wanted the prince to show up as I had already sensed him coming, I knew he would kill Logan, so I looked up at Logan and asked him to run away but he laughed at me instead."Please Logan, you have to leave, you are no match for prince Otis. He is going to kill you," I told him."Why do you think so?" He asked me in return."Your strength and his are not the same and you know it," I replied."I'm already prepared to fight him and i'm not scared. I started this and i will finish this. I either die and lose or live and achieve what I want," Logan said with determination.I wished he could understand what I meant but he wasn't even ready to listen. I was scared for his life would end so soon and wish I could persuade him more but all my pleas fell on deaf ears.He took a step towards me and I took one backward."What are you doing?" I asked him."We have to leave right now and keep moving," he replied."It's already too late," I heard a familiar voice say behind him, before h
"You’re expecting a child?," he said me and I had to swallow back the lump that had formed in my throat before nodding at him."What?" he exclaimed with wide eyes, still staring at me with disbelief. At this point, I was already certain that I had made the worst mistake of my life. Maybe I shouldn't have told him.I continued to panic within me as he wasn't saying anything else but just stare at me. I wished I could take back every words I have spoken and act like nothing happened."I'm sorry," I apologized. "I just thought the news would make you happy, I'm sorry," I apologized again with shaky hands.Instead of reacting violently as I had expected, his finger moved under my chin, lifting my face back up to face him before leaning in to captured my lips in a kiss which left me feeling more confused then ever.His lips moved against mine just as gently before deepening it a little bit more and I was left yarning for more. Another minute passed before he broke off the kiss and held m
More tears continued to flood my eyes and slide down my cheeks as well. I saw the disappointment and blame in her eyes when she looked at me.I know how much she cared for Logan and now because of me, her dream would never become a reality.My eyes burn with more tears as I dropped to the floor clenching my chest hard. I wish I could go after her and try to explain again but I doubt she will listen to anything I have to say.I can understand her pain and anguish, I feel it too. Logan was my best friend. We practically grew up together and now I had to watch his life end right in front of me just like that.I was still on the floor crying when the door crack open and I look up with teary eyes thinking it was the prince but was shocked to find lady Avril walked in and stood before me.She looked confused as she starred at me with wide eyes and I quickly sniffed back my tears and wipe the rest with the back of my hands before struggling back on my feet."Who are you?" she asked curiousl
