Hayden tried to walk away but Ashley held him tightly and cried. “Where are you going?” She asked in fear and he held her cheeks.“I... I have to go, no one wants me here, I could get in trouble if this gets to the palace.” “What? You are going to leave me here?” Ashley cried and he shook his head.“No, no, I won't. I will be back, I promise but for now, I have to go and you can't come with me.” “Hayden, please don't leave me.” She cried and hugged him tightly. “Ashley, come on. I love you and I promise, I will be back to... “ Hayden trailed off as he felt and sharp pain in his head. He groaned and Ashley pulled away from him to see the castle guards.“No, no, don't hit him.” Ashley cried and tried to hold Hayden but he pushed her away from him and they continued hitting him.They beat Hayden till he passed out and Ashley screamed, the castle guards dragged him away and Ashley cried. She looked around the crowd and saw his family, she rushed to them immediately and fell on her

“Do you know how you have been asleep?” Bryan asked and she turned to him.“How long?”“Four fucking days Ashley and it was because you chose not to wake up.” Hayden replied and she sighed.“Okay, whatever. I need to go back okay? I need more answers, I need to know what happen between you and the Prince monster and I need to know why you don't remember me when you saw me at Empire.” “What the hell is Empire?” Hayden asked and she rolled her eyes.“Come on guys, I need to go back.” “Okay, you will. But first, you need to really brush your teeth and take a long bath, it's been four days.” Bryan said and she sighed. “I know.” She mumbled and Hayden stood up angrily.“What?” She asked.“I can't believe I have been worried about you and all you care about is going back.” “Are you pissed over it?” Ashley asked “It doesn't matter so never mind.” “Come on, am sorry.” Ashley sighed and he nodded.“Yeah, I know you are.” He muttered and walked out of the room. “Hey, what’s his problem?

“Huh?” Ashley asked confused and he wrapped his arms around her waist.“Marry me, Ashley.” He said and Ashley kept staring at him, she needed time to process what he just said, is he being for real?“Hey, you don't have to reply now and you don't have to say yes if you don't want to, I just want you... ““Yes.” She cut him off and smiled at him.“What?”“Yes Hayden, I will marry you.” She replied and he smiled.“Thank you, thank you so much.” He said and kissed her lips, Ashley smiled and giggled happily.“I promise to remember our memories as soon as possible.” “It's fine, I will also help you remember.” Ashley replied and he nodded with a smile. They both suddenly heard a knock on the door and they glanced at each other.“Come in.” Hayden said and the door opened revealing the Royal guards.“Good day Sir Hayden, the King demands Miss Ashley’s presence in the throne room immediately.” The guard said and Ashley sighed.“Shit, I forgot about that. Are they going to do anything bad t

Bryan walked in the hallway as he headed towards his chambers, he came across Princess Ariadne and she smiled at him.“Bryan.” “Princess Ariadne.” He called and smiled at her.“Is that smile genuine?”“Is there a reason why it won't be genuine?” Bryan asked with his hands in his pocket.“I don't know, maybe because I am having issues with your demon and his supposed lover.” She replied with a smile and moved closer to him slowly.“It's them you are having issues with, not me. Have a nice day Princess.” He said and was about to leave but the Princess stood in front of him.“Not so fast cutie.” She whispered and wrapped her arms around her neck.“You do realize you are betrothed to my demon right?”“Oh please, we both know Hayden doesn't want me, he is obsessed with that annoying maid.” “I don't like you calling my friend annoying.” “Ugh, fine, am sorry.” She apologized and stroked his hair.“Let me go of me, Ariadne.” Bryan said and tried pushing her off but she held him tightly.“O

“Hmm, dad, I now work in a bank.” Ashley replied.“See? I told you.” Her mother said to her father.“That’s nice honey, we have to go now. Bye.” Her father said and ended the call. Ashley sighed in relief and dropped her phone, she turned and suddenly screamed in fear when she hit something hard.“It's ten minutes twenty seconds already.” Hayden said and she looked up at him breathing heavily.“Is that why you want to give a heart attack?” She yelled and he chuckled.“Am sorry I scared you, I was just worried.”“Yeah, because I am twenty seconds late.” She scoffed and she smiled.“Let’s go.” He said and wrapped his arms around her waist, Ashley closed her eyes and expected them to show up in his room but instead, they appeared somewhere else.
