"Yes, I'm the one," Bastian replied. "Give the phone to Amy, I need to speak with her."Tina said, "look, I know I am just Amelia's cousin but I will still tell you the truth. First of all, Amy is sleeping so she can't speak to you."After hearing that Amy couldn't speak to him, Bastian wanted to hang up but paused when he heard Tina say, "what you did to Amy was very wrong."Bastian decided to keep silent and listen to Tina as she said everything she had in mind."Listen," Tina continued, "Amy loved you sincerely for years and went to the palace just to get a glimpse of you but you took advantage of her and forced yourself on her, how was that any of her fault?Your mum convinced her to marry you. Everyone who cared about her warned her against it but she went ahead to marry you because of her love for you but what did you do? You broke her.At such a young age, she's already a broken woman. She walks about acting strong but her wounds are deep because she loved you too much. I canno
Amy stared at Bastian in surprise. After what Tina told her and how thoroughly she had insulted him, Amy had thought that whatever he had to say to her would be done over the phone.The last thing she expected was to see him in front of her door. He was looking dashing as always. He wore a brown turtle-necked long sleeves shirt and black pants and he smelled really nice. He had a charming smile on his face, however, Amy did not forget that he was the devil.She tried to slam the door in his face but he held it back until Amy could not struggle anymore. She turned and tried to run into her room but Bastian ran after her and held her wrist.He pulled her back toward the front door which he had left ajar when he ran in and locked it. Amy pulled her hand away from his hold, "what do you want from me, Bastian? Didn't we say enough to each other yesterday? Are you here for revenge?Okay, yesterday, I was very upset and lost it. I am sorry about everything I said to you and I take it all ba
After putting in so much effort to make food for Armstrong, Mabel packed it and dressed up beautifully before leaving for his house.She hired a cab to take her to the house. When she arrived at his house, Mabel stood outside Armstrong's gate staring at the tall building inside it in awe. It looked just like a palace, as beautiful as prince Bastian's. For a second, Mabel wondered if she was at the wrong address. She could not believe that someone would choose to stay in such a big house alone.While she was still contemplating if she should knock on the gate, Armstrong called her. She immediately answered the call and said, "I am standing outside the gate of a house that looks like a palace because I can't figure out if it's yours or not.""Hold on," Armstrong replied. "I'll be right there."Mabel stood outside waiting and a few seconds later, the gate rolled to the side. She was amazed when she realized it was an automated rolling gate. She knew they were quite expensive and as the g
Bastian opened his eyes and looked beside him but there was no one. He recalled what had transpired between him and Amy and smiled as he thought she was in the living room.When he sat upright, he noticed the note Amy had left for him and read the content, "what just happened between us doesn't change anything. It was just a brief moment of weakness on my part. Now that you've got what you wanted, once you get up, leave and never come back. I want nothing to do with you for the rest of my life, prince Bastian."Bastian sighed, crunched the piece of paper, and threw it to the side. How could Amy say the sex they had meant nothing when she had been practically shaking in his arms?He thought for a while and shook his head, "I can't let you go." He got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and came out of the house. He looked around, ignoring the stares he was getting. When he could not find any trace of her, he tried calling her number but all his calls went to voicemail.Left with no o
Armstrong gasped when Mabel opened her eyes. He thought she would be upset that his face was so close to hers while she was sleeping. If she accused him of trying to take advantage of her, it would cause a strain on their friendship because she would not want to have anything to do with him. However, Mabel just stared at him without a reaction.In the end, Armstrong turned his face away and coughed before saying, "I was just trying to adjust your head so you don't break your neck."Seeing that Mabel was still staring at him, he continued, "When I came out of the bathroom, you were already asleep so I brought you in here to make you more comfortable. This is one of my guest rooms."Mabel finally smiled in embarrassment and sat upright, "I'm sorry I slept off. I must have been exhausted because I drank too much last night." In reality, after opening her eyes, Mabel had found herself mesmerized by Armstrong's eyes.She could not understand why it took her so long to realize that he was t
Ivy stared at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. She believed she looked beautiful enough for her date with Charles. As she left her room and locked the door, she noticed Ann entering the head maid's room. Ivy ignored her and continued on her way out of the palace.The head maid noticed that Ann was sad and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't everything going according to plan?" Ann shook her head, "No, Mom, things are not going according to plan.The last time I spoke to Prince Bastian, he told me he had found Amy and was bringing her home, but it's been days, and I haven't heard anything. He hardly picks up my calls. I don't understand what's going on. Now that he's found Amy, he shouldn't be restless anymore, right?"The head maid paused for a moment and said, "In that case, call him." Ann sighed, "Mom, I just told you he doesn't take my calls, and you are telling me to call him."The head maid repeated, "Call him, my dear." Ann took out her phone and dialed Bastian's number
"You're welcome," Ivy said to Charles as they parted ways for the night. "See you tomorrow and goodnight." When she tried to open the door, Charles stopped her and said, "Hold on, what about my good night kiss?" She smiled shyly and turned to kiss him, but he cupped her face and passionately kissed her. After a while, he let her go and said, "I'll help you take the gifts inside.""There's no need for you to do that," Ivy refused, but he insisted. "I want to help you take the gifts inside." Eventually, Ivy gave in. Charles carried all the bags, and together they walked into the palace. He escorted her to her room, placed the gifts inside, and reminded her to get her hair done early tomorrow. "I'll really love to see it when I come to pick you up," he said. Ivy nodded and said, "Goodbye, Charles."As she watched him leave, Ivy smiled in contentment and looked at the card he had given her. "So this is what it feels like to have such an amazing boyfriend," she thought. "Oh Charles, yo
Mabel went inside the room to speak with Maria. She noticed that Maria still had a frown on her face and asked, "What is the problem, dear?" Maria pretended to smile and replied, "Nothing, I just don't feel too good." "Are you sick? Are you in pain anywhere?" Mabel inquired. Maria shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine. Go and be with your guest. Don't let him be all by himself." Mabel nodded, "Alright." She left the room and went back to meet Armstrong. He got up the moment he saw her and said, "Okay, now I've dropped off what I came to give you. I have to leave for my meeting, but I will pick you up later in the evening, so we can go together to the party, okay?" Mabel nodded, "Okay, thank you very much for the clothes." "Anytime," Armstrong replied.She escorted him out of the house, and when he got outside, he said, "I think the red gown would look very good on you. You can try them all, but I prefer that one." Mabel smiled and waved him goodbye before going into the house
