Prince Keith

I couldn’t help but fist my hands in rage, the king knew what he was doing, he was intentionally provoking me to see what I am going to do, I am not going to give him the satisfaction he wants though, I have something far bigger, far better than getting angry about my parents remembrance.

I sat in my room trying to work but each time I held a file, my mind went back to everything he had said and I couldn’t bring myself to work. A sudden knock on the door jolted me from my reverie

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   53: Bitter Truth (Ii)

    Nyles "Plainly? Fine. Let's speak plainly," I snapped, dropping my arms and stepping right up to his wheelchair. "For the past ten years, Keith, I tried my best, I practically threw myself at you. I wanted you to sleep with me, I wanted us to be together like a real couple but what did you do? You always pushed me away. You always made excuses. You said you were broken, you said you needed time, you said your body wasn't ready."I leaned down so my face was level with his. "But then, this random girl comes into the palace, a girl you didn't even know, and just a few months later, you are sleeping with her! You took her to your bed without a second thought!"Keith looked away, his jaw clenching tight. He didn't deny it, which only made me angrier. "And now," I continued, my voice rising, "because you had a little fun with her, you think you can just dispose of me! After everything I did, you think you can just throw me in the trash and keep her!"Keith finally looked back at me. His e

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   52: Bitter Truth

    Nyles A loud, bitter laugh burst out of my mouth, echoing off the walls of my room. I clamped a hand over my mouth, trying to keep quiet, but another wave of laughter ripped through me. I just couldn't believe it. I paced across the wooden floor, shaking my head.After everything, after all the empty promises Keith made to me, he actually had the nerve to go around and fall in love with another woman!I had seen the look in his eyes earlier today, I saw the fire in him when he shouted to defend Heather. I saw the way he looked at her, the way he panicked when she was hurt. He was really in love with her. Keith, the man who swore he only needed me, was completely wrapped around that little girl's finger.I stopped pacing and stared at my reflection in the window, he must think I am a complete fool.Ten years ago, when the palace was in chaos and Keith was left for dead, I took it upon myself to see that he was okay. I fed him, I cleaned his wounds, I sat by his bedside when everyone e

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   51: Aftermath

    HeatherI opened my eyes, and the first thing I felt was a sharp, biting pain in my head. The morning light was shining through the gap in my curtains, but I hated it. I didn't want the sun to be up, I didn't want a new day to start. My head throbbed, I had been crying. I cried until my throat was sore, until my tears dried up, and my eyes were completely swollen.I pulled the blanket up to my chin, I felt dirty. The memory of Keith's hands on my body, his lips on my skin, his whispers in my ear in the shower and on his bed all made my stomach turn right now.How could I have been so stupid? How could I have let my guard down so easily?I rolled over in bed and hugged my pillow tightly. I should have known better. I should have guarded my heart. I gave myself to him completely, thinking that the walls between us were finally gone. I thought he really cared about me but the truth was right there, I was just a replacement until Nyles finally came back to the palace.He didn't care abou

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   50: Overwhelmed

    Prince Keith’s POV The jarring screech of my wheelchair's wheels against the polished marble floor echoed in the suffocating silence of the corridor. I knew I had messed up terribly. Heather's face, etched with a pain I had inflicted, burned behind my eyelids. Her quiet anger, far more potent than any shouted word weighs in my chest. She never raised her voice, not at me, not ever and I, the supposed Prince, the man who claimed to care for her, had unleashed my frustration and misdirected rage at her.Just overwhelmed was my pathetic excuse. Overwhelmed by the sudden shift in the palace Nyles's sudden return. I should have known this was how she would act. Nyles always had a way of asserting her claim, of disrupting any semblance of peace, and Heather, my gentle, steady Heather, was caught in the crossfire.My chair whirred, carrying me away from the guilt-ridden silence of her room and back towards my own chambers. I didn't need to look behind me to know Nyles was there, her footste

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   49: Shattered Sanctuary

    Heather The floorboards of my room creaked beneath my bare feet as I paced from left to right, right to left. Each step was supposed to be a stride towards clarity, but instead, it only churned the murky waters of my mind, making them murkier still. My breath hitched in my chest with a tight knot of dread. How had I been so utterly, irrevocably stupid?Nyles? The name itself was a bitter taste on my tongue. For a while now she has been gone and I had totally forgotten her, I'd almost forgotten she existed, almost convinced myself she was nothing more than a memory and in that blissful, ignorant void, I had given myself to Keith. Completely without reservation.My heart ached with a sudden pang, thinking about Keith's kindness, his unwavering attentiveness, his gentle touch. Every single moment replayed in my mind, each tender gesture now tainted with a sickening suspicion. Was it all an act? A facade, constructed solely because Nyles was absent? Had he merely been filling a void, bid

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   48: Breaking Point

    Prince Keith "I'm sorry to interrupt, your highness, "but... Nyles is back. She asked me to let you know about it." The moment those words left the guards ' mouths my breath hitched, and a soft gasp got caught in my throat. Nyles!I had almost forgotten that someone like that existed, I was so lost in Heather, lost in my feelings, and everything about her that I had forgotten I had another woman to deal with, I was rooted to the ground, unable to move. "Keith?" Heather's voice came softly. I let out a deep, shuddering breath and glanced at her."Heather," I managed, my voice rougher than I intended."I... I think I will return to my chambers," Heather said, her voice barely a whisper, before I could even form a coherent protest, before I could beg her to stay she turned and walked away. I watched her back lump forming on my throat. Every instinct screamed at me to reach for her, to pull her back, but my hands remained gripping the armrests of my wheelchair and then I saw Nyles was

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   13: Finding Out Her Age

    Prince Keith's POV I didn't know why I let myself get so riled up. The moment I laid eyes on Molly and Heather together, a surge of irritation coursed through me. I didn't want to see Molly with Heather. I had my reasons for this. I returned back to my room and sat in my wheelchair. I let out a f

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   12: First Warning

    Heather's POV Molly was sweet and nice. I couldn't have asked for a better friend. Even though we had only been hanging out for a few hours, I felt like I knew everything about her life. She was open and easy to read, even admitting to things that any other person would naturally have denied. "So

    Heather's POVI let out a deep breath as everyone left me alone in my room, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy for me, knowing that Nyles was highly against this arrangement and Prince Keith whom I know will do anything just to make her feel happy. I slumped on the bed looking at the ceiling, still

    Prince Keith's POV "What did you mean by it was a nice day with Princess Heather? Are you beginning to love her? Will you leave me?" Nyles asked, her voice growing louder with each word.
