Jessica’s POV“He really hates me now, Molly. He asked me to leave his room. I have lost my best friend all because I was selfish. I did not know he would be hurt. I did not know,” I cried as Molly tried to pacify me.“He does not hate you, Jess. He might be angry with you, but he does not hate you,” she said, trying to convince me, but I knew better.“No, you do not understand. He sent me out of his room. Christian has never done that before,” I said, still crying.“Okay, fine, maybe he did that, but you cannot give up just like that. You still have to go back and beg him. If you have to crawl on the floor and beg him, do it. I know Christian will forgive you once his anger cools down,” she encouraged me.“Okay, I will do that. I just have to wait for a while,” I told myself as I wiped my tears away.After my confidence had been boosted a little, I became aware of my surroundings. Two beautiful dresses lay on Molly’s bed. It looked like she had been working on them when I barged in.

Christian’s PovWe arrived at the ballroom slightly late because my father was already addressing the guests. The hall looked grand, filled with elegant decorations. Women in beautiful gowns and men in tailored suits were scattered around the room. My gaze moved to the stage where my mother sat with all the selected girls, each of them in her rightful place. An empty seat beside my father caught my attention.“I will see you around,” I said to the group, pointing toward the seat. They nodded in understanding.As I climbed onto the stage, I caught the sharp glare my father threw my way. He was clearly displeased.“As the final event before the coronation, I want everyone to enjoy themselves,” my father announced with a smile. “One of these girls will soon be my daughter in law and the princess of Orlander. Eat, dance, and make tonight memorable.”Cheers filled the hall as the band began to play and guests moved around to dance and mingle.My father approached me, anger evident on his f

After Jessica had bawled her eyes out, she was exhausted and sad. She needed someone to talk to so she took her phone from her purse and called Molly

"Molly... he... rejected... me...." she said between tears.

"Jessica don't cry please. Where are you?" Molly asked alarmed

"Still... in the... garden " she cried.

"Okay darling, come to my room. please don't cry, come quickly "

"ok.. okay" she replied. She removed her mask, wiped her tears with her dress and placed it back on. 

She took her purse and ran out of the garden.

Jessica was in a hurry to meet Molly that she mistakenly bumped into someone and they both fell on the floor.

"Ow!! can't you watch where you're going? " the person screamed at her. 

She looked at the person that was screaming.... it was Mirabelle.

"I am so sorry, I didn't see you there " Jessica forgetting that she is still wearing a mask begged Mirabelle without changing the tone of her voice. 

"I am really sorry..." she helped



Jessica’s Pov



It is finally the day of the engagement and the whole palace is bustling with preparations. Words cannot describe how I feel at this moment. Let’s just say I have given up. I have given up on the life I thought I would one day have with Christian. I am starting to think that it is not a coincidence that whenever I want to tell him about my feelings, something takes place that stops it from happening. Maybe we are not meant to be and maybe it is God telling me to move on . But no matter how I try to tell myself all of that, my heart does not accept. My head is telling me to give up but the heaviness and pain I feel in my heart tells me otherwise.



I told Molly that I do not want to tell him about my feelings and she was very disappointed. I didn’t want to tell her about Mirabelle’s threat because I don’t want to involve her in all the drama. It is my cross and I will carry it.

It is currently 10:30 am, I am dressed in my maid’s uniform and on my way to Christian

It is seven pm and I am currently at me and Christian’s old playground, watching the stars for the last time with my luggages sitting next to me. These past few days has been empty and not stressful because Christian has not been available. It is either he and Evelyn are in a conference meeting or at a parade or an opening or an interview plus ,Christian will soon be taking over the company. Let’s just say he is very busy and I have not been able to see him , even as his maid. Whenever I go to his room, he is either heading out or coming in late.
I miss him but I am finally going home. I miss my parents so much and I’m excited to see them.

Mirabelle on the other hand has been calling my phone nonstop and threatening me because I am yet to show Christian the video. I was able to calm her horses for now but not for long . I don’t know when I will see him again . Maybe when I final
