All Chapters of The Girl Who Loved Two Princes: The Series : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

It was bad that she was letting him off so easily, but he was playing dirty, kissing her senselessly and resisting him was becoming less and less doable these days. Aria had never been wooed by a man like Troy. Aside from the morning sparring sessions and the evening runs, she almost didn't see anyone other than him anymore. During the afternoons he'd take her places. Little walks in the garden or long swims in the indoor pool. Every so often, they still crept into the royal kitchen when it wasn't in use. She'd forbidden him from pulling a stunt like last time though, so instead they made an epic mess laughing at their attempts as they tried to learn to bake together. Rarely, if she was persistent enough, he would take her from the palace to do something completely ordinary outside like going to the movies or ice skating. The nights were something else entirely. Sometimes he played the piano for her, sometimes she played the violin for him. He liked it best when she was playing

She returned his frustrated look with one of her own. Aria didn’t care about the other women. It was the past between them that she couldn’t let go of, the past between him and her cousin. All Emily had to do was show up and he disappeared, humiliated her by leaving her in the middle of a room on her own. This time he wasn’t just asking for a dance or a night though, he was asking for her trust, maybe her heart. For all she knew, he already had those things, but she wasn’t about to own up to it. Aria turned back to Ethan and said, “Look, no one is dating anyone, okay?! So relax. I just came to tell you Keira’s here and she’s looking for you, like she always is. I don’t need to tell you things are already tense. Send her back to Warlanda, today, or I will find someone who can.” This piece of information shut Ethan down long enough for Adele to get Aaron away from him. It had been sometime since Ethan last saw Keira and things were different now. He was engaged, h

2017, October 11thAaron got back to Troy's around 8 PM. He wanted to stay, but Adele had insisted she didn't want to upset Ethan again. Seriously that guy was really starting to get on his nerves. It was just as well though. There was only so long he could stay, only so long he could brush her hair and listen to her play without his hands roaming elsewhere. Aaron was walking through the house, looking for signs of life when his eyes fell on the table and his mouth fell open."I don't think I've ever seen so much cake in my life. What is this?" Aaron asked. "You're telling me," Troy shrugged. "I'm not running the show Aaron, I'm just going along for the ride.""This is what you call getting her to agree to go home?" "Hey manchild, if you have any brilliant ideas-""You could be a dick like you've been from the start.""Boys, boys, there's plenty to go around," said a voice. She took centre stage like she seemed to whenever she entered a room,

Had he always had this hidden rage inside him? Of course he had. She'd just been missing it this whole time. What else had he snowed her about? Again she felt like he saw her as a liability, as less than. He said he wanted to be the man standing next to her. So why did it feel like she was a million steps behind him? Troy was doing everything right, like he always did, except it wasn't right somehow. She pulled out her phone and got up. "Then I'll make it safe," she declared. Troy sighed. "Which of your boyfriends should I be expecting then?!" he called after her, but she just kept walking. Bart was sitting across from Aria in a booth at Club Fortunae as she downed shot after shot. Even with a sizable number of Red Guard soldiers flooding the club, Bart was on edge. Troy had warned him that this wasn't safe, but Aria was so pissed off she couldn't see straight. If he didn't come with her, she was just going to do it a

When Aria left, it took Troy a minute to decide what to do. People usually did exactly what Troy told them to, especially women. This was new territory. When at last he decided he was going to go after her, he didn't have the foggiest idea where to start. This was feeling eerily like chasing after Caroline and Troy hated it. Everything with Aria had been different up until now. Everything she did with him was of her own volition, even if he did sometimes coax her into things. Aria liked her time with him. What was he going to do when he found her? Would the rage in his eyes scare her? There was no holding it back now. She was not with him. She was out in the open somewhere being an idiot just to spite him. He should've held on harder, been more persistent. He wouldn't make that mistake twice. Aria was about to tell the Red Guard Soldiers she'd been left with that she was ready to leave when she saw him. Troy had just entered the club, looking livid. The way he walked, moved, hi
