Prince Stefan's POV
Someone catch my tears before I drown in them.I sat under the running cold water from the shower and the funny thing is I loved it.
I loved the freezing feeling, it made me remember what it meant to have an icy soul.I had gone to get some fresh air from the terrace when I saw Carlos c*ressing Nina.Yes they loved each other but don't they mind how I feel.
My heart was cracking inside me..I needed a shoulder to lean on, someone to tell me the dark clouds above me shall pass but I had no one.Suddenly I heard someone open the bathroom door, it was the last person I expected to see.
I thought she was there to take her toothbrush and leave but no, she came and sat beside me. "What are you doing here? I don't need your company." I thundered.
"I chose you Prince Stefan.I don't know why I did but I did." She replied softly.I felt my heart dancing shakushaku in my chest threatening to burst out.Carlos was my

You losing it Nina.He did a very good job in convincing the minister that everything was good between us. Once in a while he would place his hand on mine and i could have this weird feeling.If not that he would say good things about me to the minister and that made me feel nice .I know he didn't mean them but they had a special effect on me."Me crowned prince , I am glad the situation is under control." The minister stated as he stood from his seat."I am a Royal and we always have everything under control." Stefan smiled also standing up and i followed suit."Thank you Minister for hearing us out. This deal is very important to my husb

Absentmindedly I found myself feeling my ring.It's barely an year and she feels that this marriage won't work.I expected her to fight harder, I don't want her to give up on us because she is my addiction.No matter how much I try to hate her, I fall for her more.I have fallen in love with this woman.I don't know what will be come of me if she ever leaves.Remembering her confession earlier made my bones shatter, I couldn't control the tears dropping from my face.I wanted to disappear, get away from all of this but that was only possible in my dreams.How was I to mind my business when she has become my business? I felt bad remembering the look on her face when I called her a gold digger. I crossed the limits but couldn't help it.. Was it hard f
Chapter Fourty EightNina's POVTears were balancing on my eyes, two months ago I would have been happy to sleep away from that mean man..But tonight I felt loneliness creeping in.Yes I was a wife on paper but why did I feel like I deserved more.I wanted to be appreciated, loved not treated like trash."Ella, can I sleep in your room?" I whispered the moment I opened the bedroom's door.She was seated by her dressing mirror doing a night face routine."Your arm is bleeding, what happened?" She ran to me."It's nothing, I slipped and fell."She gave me a suspicious look and took hold of my arm, "He pushed you, didn't he??""No, he respects me." Did I mean that or did I just say that to console myself?Does he respect me?Just as we were talking, we heard a knock at the door.For a moment, I thought he had come to ask for me.Nina focus, why are you growing a soft spot for him? He ruined your life, you should hate him."Who is it?" Ella
Chapter Fourty NineCarlos's POVHad Nina begun falling for Stefan?Was she no longer in love with me??It felt like my touch disgusted her, the mere thought of my lips on hers angered her..Have I lost her? Is this what I get for moving aside??Since my last encounter with Nina, I made sure my path's and hers never met.I don't know if I could resist myself from not running into her arms.She made it clear, I should not be close to her again.Although I missed her that was the best thing to do for the both of us..It was a high time I accepted the reality that she was a married woman.It had been two days since I saw Fatima and surprisingly missed her..I tried calling her for the fifth time now but he phone was still off. Was she okay?I know what I will do, go to her place with a box full of chocolate doughnuts and milkshakes. When I arrived at her place, the door was open and it seemed like a break in.Was she okay?I dropped the box of doughnuts and mi
Chapter FiftyNina's POVI would admit I was slightly jealous that Fatima moved into the mansion. Maybe because I would have loved if Carlos had fought as hard for me but the milk already spilled..Each day I got disappointed in him and he kept proving me right that it was the best decision to choose Stefan. But today he acted like a man for her, perhaps he is still the man every girl wants but it wasn't meant for me to experience it.I don't mean that I wish I had a violent good for nothing but Albert was no difference .He was also a boy in man's body..All that matters is Fatima is safe and Carlos is by her side. After helping Fatima get settled in the guest room,Ella and I got back to our rooms..It was 10 o'clock and the butler had told me that Stefan was in his office. That was some good news, for the past few days we were acting weird.We never spoke or even looked at each other. I guess he felt as I felt.Weird.I had planned to take a show
Chapter Fifty OneNina's POVI stood there stumping my feet angrily on the floor.For once in there I was weak, I felt his closeness having an effect on me.I placed my both hands on the cheeks still unable to breath well.What was happening to me?Why did my heart beat so fast when Stefan came so close to me?I was beginning to feel different.Just thinking of him made me realise how handsome he was."Focus Nina, he is a bad man."I slapped myself so hard but the moment I told myself those words it felt like I didn't mean them.I just wanted to say them for the sake of feeling better.I didn't mind the cold as long as I didn't have to see him.I should have hated him for forcing a kiss on me..But did he?Or I wanted him to kiss me. I was busy thinking about him, rubbing my arms so hard when I felt a shawl on me."What will people think that I don't care??"Stefan retorted and I froze.What was he doing there?I needed some time to think straight and hi

Is she going to be happy or disgusted?Till when should I wait for her to be there for me as a big sister like she should?I rang the bell the third time before she finally opened the door."I thought you wouldn't come." She rolled her eyes and paved way for me to get in."Why shouldn't I come to see my mother?"I sneered and followed the sweet aroma upto the kitchen.There she was my goddess preparing my favourite, Chapatis.On the counter laid a cabbage, some onions,tomatoes, carrots that seemed were being chopped as the beef meat boiled vigorously on the cooking gas."How is the best mother in the whole world doing?"I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and rested my head on her back.Instantly I feel at ease, all the pain and sorrows inside me suddenly went away
