EthanI excused myself for Aurora and led Tiffany to an empty room in the hospital for us talk. Aurora may not know but I knew why she looked upset. The last time we met, we were in the middle of something and I just stood up and left with no explanation and I hadn't bothered reaching out since then. I admit I was an asshole for that, and I was going to be an even bigger asshole when I tell Tiffany that I wanted to call off the wedding.“Do you care to explain what happened the last time we met? I came to demand an explanation since you didn't see it right or necessary to come forward with one." Hurt, and anger laced her voice. "Tiffany," I called with a sigh, "I am so sorry for that. That was childish of me.""You don't get to do stuff and just say sorry, your Highness. What happened?” Her voice was little calmer than earlier but the hurt was still evident in it.I felt bad for what I was about to say, whether it was Aurora or Tiffany, whatever decision I make was going to hurt eit

Ethan I hurriedly left the hospital with a determined mind, I couldn't lose Aurora again and I was going to make sure of that. I would dedicate my time and attention to fixing every mistake I had made. I was going to catch up to Tiffany and apologize and make her see reasons with me.Hopefully, she hasn't spoken to my mother yet. I could still stop her.I got to the house and went straight to my parent's wing. Just by the hallway, I could see Tiffany talking to my mother already, and I hurried to join them.Shit! I was too late.The duo had a serious gloomy face on and as I stepped into the room, their conversation ceased and Tiffany just walked out without looking at me. I was confused as to what was going on seeing Tiffany walk out like that. I turned to look at my mother, she didn't look angry like I expected her to be, instead she looked sad. “Mum, Tiffany, she…” I began to say but she cut me off.“She’s such a sweet girl, isn't she? She would have been perfect to be your wife,

Keenan.Rage surged through my body as I made my way up the front stairs and into the house. I made sure to bang the door shut but the 'bang' didn't do anything to justify the anger I was feeling. I was mad. The bitter feeling in my throat was so strong I could taste it.I walked up to my room and slumped on the bed fisting, unfisting, clenching and unclenching my jaw to stop myself from doing anything rash but the exercise was doing nothing to keep my anger down. "Babe," Isadora drawled, slowly rising from where she was sitting and reading a book. "Remember the lessons. Breathe in and out, gently and slowly.""Don't Isadora," I stood up and started pacing. "Don't you dare tell me to call down because I have every right to be angry. To be mad even." I stopped pacing and faced her, " that stupid bitch that called herself Aurora thinks she can come back after ten years, ten whole years and spoil everything I have worked for.Isadora dropped the book she was reading on the hair and inc

Ethan.I chased Ethan down the hall. I noticed the shift in her mood when Isadora and Keenan joined us but she had played it down and kept a brave face until Isadora spoke to her.“Aurora! Aurora wait up.” I caught up with her and grabbed her wrist causing her and Arne to stop abruptly. I looked down at Arne to see him already looking up at me. “Sorry kiddo, this would only take a minute.”Aurora sucked in a deep breath and turned to Arne, “Hurry up straight to the room, I'll be right behind you.” Arne nodded before running out of the hallway. “I have to be right behind my son.”“He is on royal grounds, nothing will happen to him.”“You are so sure about that.” She retorted and slipped her hands off my grip to cross it.I inched closer to her, my brows furrowing with concern. “Aurora, has anything happened to Arne before? With his Father maybe? I do understand that he is your son but you are overly protective of him especially whenever his father is mentioned.”“No!” She said firmly.

AuroraThe memory of the previous day that etched itself to my heart rushed to my memory at the creak of dawn. I wasn't fully awake yet but I caught myself smiling and chuckling quietly.After Arne had his bath, we, Ethan inclusive, had lunch -the one the maids brought over- and watched the famous Lego show Arne wouldn't stop talking about. Arne slept off before the credits could roll in, I put him to bed and took a walk in the garden with Ethan.Yesterday was a reminder of what my life with Ethan could have been and though there was this nostalgic pain that ran through my heart in-between hours, I was happy I got a second shot at experiencing life with Ethan.With my eyes still closed, I reached to the other side of the bed to pat Arne. It was something that has become a routine, since the day he was born, I would make sure to check that he was still there and that nobody had taken him from me but my hand fell to an empty cold bed. I felt around the bed more hastily, nothing and I sp
