"-what are you thinking about?
-he is weird.
-since when you care.
-since he knew about me training you.
-what!" Ayana shouted but Mal could cover her mouth before anyone could notice.
"-how and when?
-I don't know but can you keep a close eye on him for me.
-but...
-don't worry i can handle muself go!
-got it sir." She salute her and left.
"-finally." Mal smirked and turned to the buffet and started to eat.
"-sorry I am late, I did my best to keep them away from finding out about us." She said at the piece of cake that she devoured it-elegantly of course-in no time.
Music started to play louder and people started to dance including Ayana with a foreign prince she forgot his family history, age and favorite tea of course but who cares. She though she saw Kieran dancing in the middle with someone else.
"-I love you and trust you he said. He chose someone else over me in seconds. I should thank her probably, I can enjoy peace." The waiter was staring at her weirdly then shift his gaze the other way before he turned it back to her.
She glared at him and he looked down fixing plates.
She took a strawberry dipped in chocolate. But someone twisted her hand to place the strawberry in his mouth smirking.
She snatched her hand from his grip glaring.
"-I thought you hate chocolate.
-anything from your hands is like dripping honey.
-EW …what's wrong with you? Weren't you dancing?
-no was I? Or you are that much obsessed over me?" She snickered and answered:
"-you? Yeah in your dreams probably.
-let's go.
-aren't you going to dance.
-neither of us want to dance.
-who told you that I don't want to dance?
-alright than wait for Ayana who is looking for you to dance with me the whole night till the sunrise.
-okay then where are we going?
-this way. I want to talk to you, away from suspicious eyes." He said smirking and she walked past him avoiding the princess' eyes.
They went together upstairs, in a hidden room, it was small yet clean and lovely.
"-what do you want Kieran?
-wow why feisty out of sudden and stop addressing me by my first name." he said and she answered:
"-don't take it seriously, I didn't like how those spoiled princesses was looking at you. It's disgusting you know, things weren't great between us this last period but I thought we can overcome together. We started as strangers but let's finished as a couple… as lovers. I am sorry if I hurt you or if I upset you in any way. I know I be acting arrogant and stubborn but I really care about you." She paused to get near him and caress his cheek then finished with watery eyes:
"-I realized how I was a horrible person towards you and blinded by hatred and anger.
-please stop, don't cry…
-I am so sorry I didn't meant to hurt or made you hate me.
-shhh... I am not." She looked at him whipping her eyes.
He helped her to sit down but she slipped and almost fell but she hold on his shirt tearing it revealing his chest and stomach. He was furious that he almost slapped her and said:
"-are you that much dumb and clumsy! Look what did you do?
-I am sorry it was an accident.
-don't come near me.
-wait." She said and took off her cape, showing her flawless skin after all the scrubbing and creams.
She covered him and closed but he couldn't took his eyes out of her body, scanning her as if he never saw a woman before.
"-I am sorry
-it's okay, let's sit but let me help you sit this time." He helped her sit and he pushed her hair back.
But she put it back,
"-what's wrong this time?
-I am not comfortable at this situation.
-relax sweetheart…we are getting married soon so it doesn't matter.
-I don't know. I thought you were disgusted by me.
-how could I? Look at you. You are a pretty pure angel.
-thanks but…you said you hate my scar." His eyes widened and then laughed it out.
"-don't be silly…" he didn't finish and she pulled the dress strap that was covering her shoulder.
He made her look at him and reassured:
"-you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen…more than that no one is perfect but me. I will love you till my last breath." He pulled her to stand at the balcony together.
He covered her shoulder, and it was cold that she hugged herself and looked at him.
He hugged her and was about to kiss her.
She knew what comes with a kiss.
"-do you love me?
-yes. Do you?
-yes…in hell." His eyes widened once the dagger split his throat in half and blood was everywhere.
She smirked but soon realized something was off and ran downstairs quickly…
