"I'm fine thank you. I just had some trouble sleeping last night." She explained."How's Anna?" Her brother asked curiously.Celine sighed deeply."Not good but she will get better I'm sure."They fell silent for a few seconds, none of them knowing what to say. They all shared the same worries but they weren't able to share anything with each other. They couldn't tell them about their pregnancy and neither they could tell them about the fight with her father. For now they had to stay in the dark and hope that everything will go back to normal again sooner or later.The morning was cold and dark. The sun wasn't shining, not that it ever did during this time of year. The birds were chirping happily instead of flying, which made it seem so creepy. The air was filled with snowflakes and the sound of crows calling out to each other echoed throughout the forest. It was such a beautiful sight, however, Celine did not feel like celebrating it with anyone today. The past day and a half had b
His tone surprised her but she tried to hide her surprise. She never thought that her father would be the one to comfort her when she was sad. Usually he would always end up being the one who ended up having the breakdowns. He was the strong one. He was the one who kept himself composed even though Celine's mother had died. He was the one who would help his daughter. Not her. She would be the one that ended up breaking down."Can I come with you to the station?" She asked hopefully, giving him a small smile.He sighed and set down his fork."Of course kiddo. Just try to eat something alright?"She nodded eagerly and took a seat opposite of him. His gaze lingered on her before he focused his attention back to his food. He picked his fork up again and resumed eating. There was another silence between them before her father spoke up."Why don't we talk?" He asked."What do you want to talk about?" She asked confused."Anything. Why don't we talk about how school is going? What have you
"Mom… Where's daddy? I need to speak to him." She said quietly.Her mother remained silent and just stared at her. Celine swallowed again. Suddenly she felt extremely nervous. She wasn't used to seeing her mother act like this and she didn't like it. She wanted to go and wake her father up."Ma?" She called.Her mother snapped out of her trance before getting up from the couch and heading towards the stairs. She climbed the stairs quickly, making her way to Anna's room. Celine followed close behind her, keeping a distance from her. They stopped in front of Anna's door, the one to which her father was currently residing in. Celine bit her lip nervously as her mother unlocked the door and pushed it open. She peeked in and saw that Anna was sleeping peacefully and her heart fluttered slightly at seeing the peaceful expression on her daughters face. She quickly stepped inside and closed the door behind her.King Roman was feels so good to be his wife Celine, he will never let her her go
"We should get going." She told him, pointing to the door behind him.She turned to Celine, who had walked closer."Bye bye honey, I'll be back tonight. Be nice to the gentleman okay?" She instructed.She kissed her forehead before moving to her father. She then pressed her lips against his cheek tenderly before pulling away. He placed his hands over where she had kissed him and smiled. He looked over his shoulder at his daughter before kissing her forehead once more."Goodbye Celine. Have fun today okay." He said softly.Celine smiled brightly before nodding."Okay Daddy! Bye!" She answered happily.Both parents chuckled softly before finally leaving. As soon as they exited the room, Celine turned around to face her father."So, where is mummy going?" She questioned curiously.He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly before answering.She giggled happily and wrapped her arms around his waist."Daddy, what would you do without me?" She teased, smiling widely.He laughed softly and
He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. He wanted to comfort his daughter but it wasn't that simple. He knew how much it hurt to be told you weren't good enough but it wasn't like that. No one would ever tell anyone that they were good enough because no one would actually mean that. He couldn't promise to fix the situation, but maybe he could make her happy. Maybe, if he made sure she knew that she deserved someone better, then she would believe him. He took a deep breath and pushed himself out of his seat. He walked over to the couch before kneeling in front of her. His knees hit the hardwood flooring and Celine jumped a little in surprise at the sudden change in position."Listen kiddo," He started as he slowly reached forward. "There are some people out there that aren't good for you. Some people aren't good for anybody."He let out a sigh as he reached forward. He grabbed both of her hands in his own and pulled them away from her face to look into her eyes
"Why don't we take a walk?" She suggested softly. "We haven't gone outside in a while."He gave a smile as he nodded his head in agreement."That sounds nice." He agreed.They both hopped out of bed and headed downstairs. Roman walked ahead of Celine with his hand in his pocket as she continued to trail behind him. He led her to the door, unlocked it, and stepped outside before turning around. She hesitated for a moment before following after him and closing the door behind her."Where would you like to go?" She asked as they stood in silence for several minutes."I'd prefer going somewhere where there's no crowds." He responded. "Maybe the zoo?"She frowned slightly."Is that alright?"He nodded his head slightly."Yeah, that sounds great."She smiled lightly and turned to face him."Then lead the way." She said, extending a hand out for him to take. He gladly took it and intertwined their fingers. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze before leading her down the street. The two wande
Roman growled threateningly at his brother as he slammed the door in his face and slammed his fist against the door repeatedly, screaming profanities at him. He collapsed onto the floor panting heavily. He stared at the ground blankly as tears streamed down his cheeks. He heard footsteps coming towards the stairs, however, he didn't bother looking up."King Roman." Celine whispered sadly.He ignored her as he continued to cry softly. He was terrified of his eldest brother knowing about Celine. He knew that if his brother ever found out that his son and heir was having an affair, he would never forgive him. It would destroy their family name and destroy the relationship that they had created. He would never be able to marry Celine. Not only did he not deserve her; he didn't even deserve her friendship. If anything, he deserved his older brother. Roman knew that Celine would eventually leave her father because he had become a monster and he wasn't fit to be a father anymore. A few mo
She opened her eyes wide and looked around in confusion. Why was she in another room? She looked up and gasped loudly. Standing in front of her, his hands pressed firmly against her sides, was her future husband, Roman. His green eyes gazed at her intensely. The heat radiating from his body radiated through the thin fabric of her nightshirt. Slowly, he bent his head downwards and pressed his lips against hers. She responded enthusiastically, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He groaned and deepened the kiss, his tongue gliding across her bottom lip. She whimpered at the contact, causing him to pull back from the kiss."Celine." He breathed, leaning his forehead against hers."I love you." He whispered, pressing his lips against her again.Celine giggled lightly."I love you too."He broke free from her embrace and rested her down on the bed gently."I need to take off my clothes." She murmured, blushing bright red."Okay." He replied, pulling up his trousers and tossing the
