* * *Chapter Nine: Like I Said Edward found Nicolas in a shelter far away from the palace close to the edge of the kingdom. He came in disguise as to not alert Nicolas of his presence and as a try to befriend his run away fiance to somehow find out his reasons for leaving. "May I say something?" Hugo was one to say a whole lot so even if Edward didn't give him permission he knew he would hear a comment of what the accounted really felt about things. "Say it" he said as he fixed the fake mustache he had made sure to include in his disguise. Hugo cleared his throat. "You are here to do what exactly? Your highness you have found your fiance but you still want to play games with him instead of dragging him by the hand and taking him home?" Edward gave him a sharp look. "I cannot drag him along. Hugo if I haven't been more plain to you before let me be very clear right now. Nicolas is not bound by anything. He is free to do what he wants. I will not force him into things."
Epilogue Nicolas couldn't in anyway say that he could understand or even want to explain the feelings that he had been invoked right at this point. At this moment. Carrying his little son in his arms. His baby. Edward and his child. He didn't even know that this little being could give him so many emotions all at once. "My baby" he hugged the small bundle. "My little gift. Oh my dear baby. To think that today you wouldn't be in this world breaks my heart. I have never loved anyone like I love you." He just knew that from now on his child would take full priority over all else. He wouldn't let anyone take him away. "Your dad" oh Edward. Nicolas left because he felt suffocated in a place that didn't want him. But would he give anything right now to be right in his lover's embrace. With their child being the center of attention. "I will take you to him my baby. He'll meet you . And I know he will be just as happy as I am to see you. " Nothing was so important to him right at this
InformationThe story starts with a royal wedding. Princess Eva and Prince Zeus' wedding. A day that everyone should be rejoicing and happy is a day that has blood,tears and death. All because the bride and groom do not want to get married to each other. Neither do they even love each other. In fact the only reason their getting married is because Eva's aunt forced her into it. By threatening her of her death like she has killed her lover while Zeus sacrifices his own love out of fear of his beast of a father. He wants no harm to go to the person he loves the most..his Sasha. Who is also Eva's twin sister. Sasha also isn't happy about this marriage but because of duty and the love she has for Zeus she allows it. But will these sacrifices be in vein?BlurbEvaShe's a princess whose life is all prepared and planned for by her aunt. She is betrothed to a merciless war general,who is also a prince in his kingdom. She does not love him if she was asked she'd say she's rather afraid of the
2SashaZeus stared at me for a minute before his grip on me faded. “I can...not. I cannot run away. I wish I could... I'm sorry but the wedding shall happen. ” He said in a defeated voice. I didn't recognize coming from him. A whole war general. A man who went to war with no fear of losing because he already knew he'd win. What did this little matter have in comparison of war? “ What?! But you love me! Not my sister! Why does Eva have to get everything?! What about me? My happiness! Zeus you can't leave me and go marry my twin sister!” I sobbed and also shouted at the same time. “ This kills me as much as it kills you love. Trust me if I could I'd marry only you. But the odds are against us love. My kingdom needs this,my father wants this! The whole country wants this. Even the fortune tellers say it shall happen. With so many forces against us who are we to fight it?”“We're in love! To hell with it fortune! To hell with my aunt and your father! To help with the country and all w
3Chapter 3 ZeusI stood at the alter. My face as hard as I could make it. The hurt and pain I was feeling now was unimaginable. I left her. My Sasha. The only girl who makes me happy and be me. Not the person everyone else think me to be. Now I'm here standing at an alter waiting for her own twin sister...the irony! Destiny why did you forsake me so? Is it not enough that you have taken away the one I love,now you make me marry a girl who is not only her sister but her twin! “Oh! What happiness! Our families finally joined William.” Morgana, Sasha's aunt said clearly pleased with herself. “Great news indeed. ” My Father,king William said agreeing with her. I tuned them out. As they spoke and the dummies of nobles and noble women laughed and cheered. All I wanted was this day to be over with. *Finally the piano was played and the doors were opened to the bride. Evangeline...my bride. Who had her arm hooked with my Sasha.. I gritted my teeth at the sight. Is this the final ins
4ZeusI took Sasha to her bedroom. Laying her on the bed. “ Sasha I'm so sorry. Sorry for all the pain I must be causing you. I can't help it. All I want is to protect you and this is the only way I know how to.” I whispered in her ear. I was about to leave the room when her voice stopped me midway. “ I know. I know all you're doing is all to protect me. I know it's breaking you too just as much it is to me. But I will heal. This wound of mine shall heal.”“It shall. Goodbye then.” I said sadly trying not to look it. “Goodbye. Zeus.”She gave me one last tear filled face before she turned away from me. I also left right then. Only to have father's watchful eyes on me as soon as I returned back to the wedding reception. I walked it off as if it was nothing. I had to put on my mask especially now. My father could not find out about Sasha and I. ***EvaI had slipped out of the reception going to Sasha's room. To find her on the floor hugging her knees to head. She looked just
5SashaAfter crying my eyes out with Eva and I holding each other in the tightest hug. Aunt's voice ruined the moment. As she stormed in my room. Dragging Eva gently but forcefully away from me. “Enough of this.. whatever it may be. Evangeline my dearest child it is time for you to go.” “But aunt I..” Eva tried to talk but aunt stopped her from continuing. “Not another word child. You have done more than enough to damper my mood towards you today do not try and dare me now. Do as I've instructed.”All this while I thought I was the only one who had it bad. But it seems aunt treats Eva the same way she treats me. Before they walked out of the room Eva gave me one last heavy look. Her eyes wrote only sadness on them. Maybe she didn't want this as much as I didn't either. “ Farewell.. sister.”I could only nod in response because I was afraid of what was to come of my voice as I had just held back a sob. She was right though it was farewell. Not only to her but to my life as I kno
6 EvaThe journey to the kingdom of Tatraton was a long one and very tiring. At least as it felt to me anyway. The carriage kept on going bumping into all the rocks and that resulted in me bouncing up and down. I would have stumbled off the seat if Zeus hadn't caught me on time. I gasped looking at where his hand grasped me. On my waist. Was he the kind of man to perform his marriage rights on me in a carriage? I wouldn't be surprised if he would. His reputation told him of such an insultive manner to treat a woman. But instead of touching me or straight ravaging me as I thought he just helped me to sit up again. His arm still in my waist. I looked at him questioningly but he wouldn't meet my eyes or speak to me. So out of fear I just decided to let it go. I looked at the window once more. Staring as I officially entered another kingdom leaving the one that I've called home for all of my life. I suddenly remembered my mother's words. “ Your husband's home will be your home fo
