Logan smiled to himself and brought out a wire, he came closer to where I lay and used it to bind my hands and feet together. What I failed to realize from the onset was the fact that Logan had come prepared for this very much but I I wasn't. He had used my emotion to get me because he knows that I would never watch him suffer no matter what state I was in.And the unknown substance had spread on me had hurt like hell. Where did he even got it from. It can only be obtained in the black market which means that Logan had been visiting the black market."Why are you doing this? You are hurting me" I told him with tears in my eyes."I can't watch you suffer anymore, the Prince is devilish, he is only using you as a pleasure tool and wouldn't end up with you. Open your eyes Iris, and you would see what I'm talking about. A man that loves you would go the extra mile for you, he can never stay a day without seeing you or purposely turn a blind eye to your suffering and condition," Logan sai

"You’re expecting a child?," he said me and I had to swallow back the lump that had formed in my throat before nodding at him."What?" he exclaimed with wide eyes, still staring at me with disbelief. At this point, I was already certain that I had made the worst mistake of my life. Maybe I shouldn't have told him.I continued to panic within me as he wasn't saying anything else but just stare at me. I wished I could take back every words I have spoken and act like nothing happened."I'm sorry," I apologized. "I just thought the news would make you happy, I'm sorry," I apologized again with shaky hands.Instead of reacting violently as I had expected, his finger moved under my chin, lifting my face back up to face him before leaning in to captured my lips in a kiss which left me feeling more confused then ever.His lips moved against mine just as gently before deepening it a little bit more and I was left yarning for more. Another minute passed before he broke off the kiss and held m

(Prince POV)My feet was light on the polished floor ad i walked down the hallway heading to the throne room.At this point, one thing was certian to me. My father had already heart about the disargeement with lady Avril and was waiting for some sort of explaination which i'm likely not to give.My decision has already been made and i'm not going back on it. With my hands folded into tight fist, i walked into the throne room and met my father sitting on his usual position on the throne, his face a blank mask as always.“Greetings, your Majesty” I said bowing deeply in respect.“Rise”At his command, I quickly rises to my feet before looking up to face him.“I have concluded all the arrangement for you and lady Avril to be married” He said coolly and my fist only clench even tighter in reply.“I’m sorry father but I will no longer be marrying lady Avril as planned”I let the word slip out my mouth as I looked up to meet the King’s eyes and it was anything but happy with the words I hav

Iris POV.At this point, too many thought seem to be running through my mind as I kept wondering over and over again if Logan was alive and back to play pranks at me but then again, I was right there when he died.Even held him in my arms and there was no life in him, his throat was ripped out and there is no way he could have survive such. If it’s not Logan then who could it be? Who else knew about my secret, I can’t even think of someone else no matter how hard I tried.The threat was enough to cause blood to drain from my face. I knew, I wasn't safe anymore and neither is my child. We are both in danger of the King finding out.Unable to sit still, I kept on pacing with anxiety taking over my whole being until my thoughts settled on lady Avril.Am I wrong to think she might be the one? But then again, how did she know about my secret?"Did prince tell her about me?" I asked out loud but shook my head at the possibility. Prince would never do that. Absolutely not, I was sure of it.

"You can ask for anything and I would make sure I give it to you," I said."You have taken my feelings for granted way too long, your Highness. On the night of our engagement, it was because of her you left me in the middle of our love making with silly excuses. I felt dirty and not desired by the one man I ever let see me naked. I cried the whole night in the bathroom trying to scrub off my skin with the thoughts that I'm not enough. Unknown to me, you already had someone," lady Avril said to me with tears pooling eyes.She blinked them back and looked away with a sad smile trying to fight back more tears that were now threatening to pour. I became calm and really felt pity for her but I can never leave Iris for her, Iris is the one for me, the one I love and will ever love, no one else."I'm sorry for what happened, I never knew my actions that night would make you feel this way," I apologized.“Oh, it did. You never cared because I was not obvious to you. With Iris, I don't exist
