After three weeks.Gilan's POVIt has been three weeks of happiness. Staying with Elena has been the best days of my life. I enjoyed every bit of it. One thing was worrying me, though. I know it won't take long before my parents find me. I know they were looking all over for me and soon they will be here. I hope they never find me. “Gilan, breakfast is ready.” I hear Elena's voice. All this time I was just laying flat on the bed thinking. I love Elena so much. I have never loved any girl the way I love her. She is my life and happiness. But I have been trying to play cool. I was just looking for a perfect moment to ask her to be my girlfriend. I want that so much. I want to make things official with her. “I'm coming. Let me just take a quick shower.” I say as I jump out of the bed and head to the washroom. While living with Elena, I have come to learn that a simple life is the happiest. Me being a prince, it's not a privilege at all and it's hard. Occasionally, I wish that I was
Amara's POV.I must admit that ever since the horrible incident, I haven't been myself. I still felt horrible every single day. One thing was worrying me, though. I was expecting my period to arrive the previous week, but until now, there were no symptoms of it. That thing was worrying me the most, and I was afraid of receiving bad news. I was still on my bed thinking. I was just miserable. I felt so miserable and I hated it. My life was so bad, my life was turning out to being terrible every single day, and I was hating it. “I just wish my parents were here. I could have had someone to talk to. I miss my mother so much.” I say to myself as tears come out of my eyes.Maybe I made a mistake when I decided to keep everything that had happened to me a secret. Perhaps my parents would have helped me once I told them the truth. “No, I can't inform anyone what happened.” I find myself saying. It would be better if this remained a secret forever. “Ooh, I feel so hungry.” I say as I drag
Prince Gilan's POV.“We have landed at the airport. Thank you for traveling with Safe Travels line.” Thank God I have arrived safely at my hometown. I remember the last time I left my town and went to another country because of my studies. It was like five years ago. I was a little man back then. But now, I am all grown up and, presently, a graduate. My parents will be so proud of me. My name is Gilan June. The only male child to my parents. I am the apple of my parents eyes. They love me so much, and I love them the same way they love me. I am also the firstborn, I have a younger sister, Juliet.My father is a king of my land, which makes me a prince. My mother is a queen and my sister a princess. We are so respected in my town. We have guards guarding the palace every time. I am glad that I was born into a royal family. This gave me, so many privileges like studying outside the country. * * * * * * * * “My prince, the car is already here.” My driver says.He came to pick me up f
Amara's POV.The wait is finally over. The prince is back. I can't believe that the years have passed so fast already. I must admit that it was quite a long wait, but at long last, they were over. “Have you heard the news, girlfriend?” My best friend Helen asks me. I could see excitement in her voice. “Yes, I am about to head to the palace right now. I miss him so much, and I want to see him so badly.” I say.“I know, girlfriend, that you miss him so much.” She says.“I badly miss him. Let me freshen up so I can head out. I don't want to waste any more time.” I say as I rush to my room. I straight head to the washroom and I unlock the tap and water come hit my lovely body. I know the prince will have a hard time taking his eyes on me. My name is Amara Chelsea. The only daughter of my parents. My parents were so rich, and money was never a problem in my family. I studied in one of the best schools in the country. I was now a graduate in medicine. But since my parents were rich, I s
Prince Gilan's POV.I am woken up by knocks in my door.“Who is this disturbing my sleep.” I say in a weak voice. I was so exhausted and all I needed was some good sleep.“Who is there. Is it you, mother?" I ask.“No. May I come in, please.” It was a lady's voice. And it sounded familiar, though I just could not remember whose voice it was.“Come in, the door is not closed.” I say and I sit on my bed.She stands before me, a vision of effortless beauty. The light catches in her hair, casting a soft glow around her, while her eyes shine with quiet confidence. Her dress drapes elegantly, moving gently with each breath, and a small, knowing smile plays on her lips.She was so pretty and for a moment, I get lost in her beauty. “Remind me of your name, please. I remember your face, but not your name." I say.“My prince, don't you remember me? It's me Amara.” She says, and I am stunned.She had entirely changed. I mean, she looked more beautiful than before. “I am sorry that I failed to
Amara's POV.I just could not control the tears that were coming out of my eyes. I let them flow freely on my cheeks. I felt so terrible right now.Gilan was so cold to me. He just told me straight on my face that he doesn't like me. He stopped loving me a long time ago. I was the only one who was waiting for me. I was the only one who had plans for our future. It just hurts.I slowly walk out of the palace feeling heartbroken. The happiness I had while coming here all faded the moment I saw Gilan. I think this is the end for us. The end of our love. He doesn't even want me close to him. He feels disgusted by my presence.I take a cab and I drive straight home. I throw myself on the bed and I cry bitterly. All this was so unexpected. My dreams are all shattered, and I don't know what to do. “When did you get back? I thought you would spend the whole day at the palace?" I hear Helen saying to me.I really thought she had gone back to her house. I did not see her when I got back here.
Gilan's POV.I wake up and it's already nighttime. I cannot believe I slept for such a long time. I was so tired, and I did not realize that time had moved so fast.“My prince can I enter?” I hear one of the palace maids say.“Yes, come in.” I say, and I see the door opening and she walks inside.“The food is ready. Your parents are calling you so you can have dinner with them.” She says.“Ok, tell them that I will join them soon. Let me freshen up first.” I say as I quickly get up from my bed and I rush to the bathroom.* * * * * * *After I am done, I slowly walk to the dining area. I find my parents waiting for me. None of them had touched their food. I somehow felt sorry for them. I mean, they were just seated there waiting for me to arrive. “Mom, dad. Why are you not eating yet?" I find myself saying to them.“We have something to say to you, that is why we are waiting for you.” My mother says. I could see that she was not happy, and it was obvious what she wanted to say to me w
Prince Gilan's POV.My phone rings and I stretch out my arm to reach it. I lose my focus on the road and I feel like I have hit something.“What is that?” I ask myself. As I tremble with fear. I quickly stop the car and rush outside. My head was now so clear, and I did not feel tipsy anymore. I ran In front of the car, and I am shocked to what I was seeing. A girl was lying on the ground. She looked as if she were dead already.I panic. “How can I kill someone? I just came back from abroad. No, this cannot happen.” I say running towards the girl.I check her vitals and I could feel her heart beat.“Hospital.” I say as I start to carry her up. I just cannot afford her to lose her life. It was my duty to save her now. She must survive this. The girl looked as if she came from a poor background. I could judge basing on her clothes and shoes. I open my back cars door and I carefully lay her on the chair. She was not that heavy. I could say she was still in her early twenties. I come b

Amara's POV.I open my eyes and I find myself in the room. I was lying on the bed completely naked. The man who was with me the previous night was nowhere to be seen. I could not even remember his face because he was wearing a mask. “No, no, no please no.” I cry bitterly as I check myself on my va*Ina. The man had raped me and I felt pains all over my va*Ina. I could not even touch it because it was swollen. It looks like he had s·x with me for hours. Since I was drugged, I could not recall a thing. “Where is my cell phone.” I ask myself as I continue crying. I could not even find my bag. It means the man also robbed me after he had finished r*pping me. He is a monster and I will stop at nothing until I find and revenge for what he did to me. I come out of the bed and I struggle to walk to reach the door. Luckily, it was open so I did not struggle into opening it. I come outside the room and the whole place was quiet. It's like no one was in the bar, compared to last night, it was
Amara's POV.“I will take my leave now my queen.n. I say in a low voice. I was so hurt, and I could not stand staying in the palace anymore. I just wanted to head home so I could rest.“I am so sorry for today. I will assure you that I will make Gilan come back to the palace. He will not be able to run away from you. I am sorry my dear. I promise to make things right for you.” The queen says, and I nod. I felt like bursting out in tears. I was struggling to control my emotions. Crying was the last thing I needed right now. “Is the driver ready?” I ask her.“Yes, he is waiting for you outside.” The queen says, and I excuse myself. I slowly walk outside and just as the queen had promised, the driver was standing outside my car. I give him the car keys, and he starts driving me to my house.After I reach, I head to my bedroom and I throw myself on my bed.* * * * * * * “Amara, why are you not answering my calls. I have been calling you for ages now." Helen wakes me up. I struggle
Gilan's POVI head into my room in anger and I immediately take my suitcase and I start parking my clothes. It was best if I left the palace. Ever since I came back here. I have not had peace. Every single day I was reminded of Amara, and I was tired of this. I wonder why my parents took her side each time. They did not even care about my feelings. They only cared about Amara's feelings. It was like she was their daughter. After I am done packing. I come out of the room and I start heading out of the palace. Amara was still there talking to my mother. It was like she was still crying. I did not even bother to look at her. She just disgusted me. I have never seen a woman like her. A woman who forces a man to be with her. I have never seen that. She is the first woman and that is a disgrace to womanhood. “My queen, Gilan is leaving the palace.” She says immediately she notices me. “What? Gilan where are you going to?” My mother asks as she wakes up for her seat. I could tell she wa
Amara's POV.Gilan chases me out of the house and closes the gate behind him. I feel so embarrassed and humiliated. Actually, this is the second time Gilan has embarrassed me today. I slowly get into my car and I start heading back to the palace. The queen must know what is really going on with Gilan. I know she doesn't know that her son is having an affair with a random girl. So I must break this news to her.* * * * * * * *Within a few minutes, I stop and park the car at the palace and I head inside. I find the queen seated on her comfortable couch watching television. She is surprised once she sees me, and she stands up and follows me to where I was standing.“Amara, what happened. Talk to me. Why are you crying.” She asks me with a concerning voice. “My queen, you can't believe what Gilan did to me today. I am so hurt.” I say while crying my heart out.The queen takes my hand and leads to the king's chamber. “I think the king also deserves to hear what Gilan has done to you. C
Prince Gilan's POV.“You are here so early today. Is everything ok?" Elena asks immediately I walk into the house. “Yes.” I put on a fake smile. The truth is, I was starving, but I am somehow glad because she was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. So I know I will eat something soon and I will be Good.I was looking forward into having breakfast with my parents, but Amara spoilt my mood. I hate her so much, I wonder why she never sees that. I can never go back to her, I hope she gives up soon. She is a beautiful woman, and she has her entire life In front of her. She deserves a man who will appreciate her and love her the way she deserves, but that person is definitely not me.“Sit down. Let us have breakfast.” Elena says, as she serves the breakfast to the dining table. Her smile made me smile as well. When I was with her, my bad mood disappeared automatically. She is my best person.“Let's see what you have prepared.” I say as I look through the pots. There were some rices, egg
Amara's POV.It has been weeks now since I last saw Gilan. Everything has been silent on my side. No phone calls, no text messages from Gilan and I was now losing it. I miss him so much, and I just want to see him once again. I want to spend sometime with him and I hope that soon we will be together. Even the queen had abandoned me. She never called to ask me to have dinner or lunch with the royal family. She just went mute on me and I hated it. Maybe she had already forgotten about me. That will be so mean of her. She cannot do that to me. I will never allow it to happen. I just lie flat on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I felt like never getting up from my bed. My heart ached so much. I just could not believe that the queen could do this to me.“Why don't I call her? I have to remind her that I still exist.” I say to myself.I pick my phone and I dial the queens number. I feel shivers all over my body while placing the phone on my ear. I felt like she will scold me for calling
Prince Gillan's POV.“Come here and change into this dress.” One of the attendants who were helping us to choose the dresses say to Elena.“Ok,” Elena says as she follows the lady.I am left behind seated waiting for her to come out. Over ten minutes pass before I see the curtains pulling back. For a moment, I forget how to breathe.Elena steps out wearing a soft champagne-colored dress, fitted at the waist and flowing just past her knees. The fabric catches the light like morning sunlight on water. Her hair, loosely pinned back, makes her look so attractive.She looks as if she stepped out of a dream.My voice catches in my throat. I stare, completely stunned.“Wow… Elena…” I say with a smile on my face. I see her freezing with her eyes wide open, and she stares at me. “Is it too much? I can try another one.” she says in hesitation. “This one is perfect. I love it so much. It makes you look like a princess. You are beautiful." I say as I step closer to her. While unable to stop sm
