Davish- Lucid and Emilia's chambers.
"You've already made one of our daughters sad already. Won't you have some consideration and let Ellie choose the man she wants to be with?"
"I know, but how long would I wait? What if Elen's husband rejects my offer of taking the throne? I only have Ellie left and she's my last choice, Elen's husband isn't a choice anymore. So I have made my decision that I'll find a man for Ellie if she doesn't find one within this year." Lucid said with a serious tone. He already knew that Elen's husband wouldn't take his throne because he had his brother to deal with. His only hope now was for Ellie to get married, and if she doesn't find someone within this year...then he'll have no choice but to find her a suitor.
"We need to speak with Ellie about this then. She needs to know about it so she'll start finding a suitor for herself."
"Yes. I'll speak with her tomorrow, she should know about this."
"Thank you so much." Emilia said, and he gave her a sweet smile, he hugged her gently and placed a soft kiss on her head.
"Anything for my wife." He said
"And daughters..." She completed.
"And daughters..." He repeated and she buried her face in his chest and hugged him tightly.
********
Ellie was on her bed. Her thoughts were occupied with Amir, she had tried to get him out of her head but she couldn't. She even went as far as to take a cold shower but the results were the same. Her mind were now occupied with nothing but him.
She had personally told him to stay away from her for three days just so she could get him off her mind, but no matter what she does, it still doesn't change anything. It even seemed as if she had been thinking of him more than usual now that he was absent. She pleaded with him to stay away but of course, Amir being the log head that he was, he rejected. He said it would be torture to stay away from her. Not only for a day but for three days!! She could see that he wouldn't easily give in, so she gave him a condition. She told him that after three days, he could spend as much time as he wants to spend with her. Elen at that time, thought that by then, her thoughts about him would be long gone, but she was wrong. During the last three days, all she's been thinking about, was him alone. She did everything to remove him from her mind but everything deemed useless.
The three days were finally up, and sooner or later, she would be expecting a knock on her door. She closed her eyes and Amir's smirking face was the image that welcomed her. She opened her eyes and it took her all the self-control she could muster not to tear her hair apart.
She stood up and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Ever since her father died, she had learnt to do things herself, and one thing she also learnt was to take a bath herself. Though, she was a noble's daughter, her life could be compared to a princess's.
She stepped into the bathroom undressed and in no time she stepped out again with a towel wrapped around her body.
She was about to remove the towel from her body when....
...
Lucrain- Elen's chambers...
"Feeling better?" Alexander asked the sick Elen. She had fallen sick in the last few days, and it was the most scariest moments of his life. He had never been this scared before until Elen had started running a high fever. He had called the doctor and she assured him that Elen was just running a fever, and it's normal, she'll be fine in a few days time but he still didn't believe until he called many other doctors to check up on her. Their response were the same and that was when he breathed a sigh of relief.
What would have happened if she was actually.... No! He shouldn't think of it! She's just sick and she'll be fine. He tried to convince himself.
A small towel was placed on her forehead. Only she knew the reason for her illness. She hardly falls sick and whenever that happens, it means something big is going to happen. She usually falls sick after she has one of her dreams, and this was a sign that she needed to take action else whatever might happen would cause chaos and disaster.
She had seen how her husband cared for her within the last few days and it made her heart flutter. No matter how hard he tries to suppress the emotions on his handsome face, Elen could still see through him. She saw how he had called countless doctors just to check up on her again and again. She had just realized that her husband cares for her. Her dream even confirmed it. That was why Elen had already made up her mind that she won't do anything that would anger him nor would she get angry at him.
Elen wanted to tell him about her dream but she didn't want to make him worry more than he already is. She would tell him when she's already better and everything is less tense. She would find a perfect time to tell him so they can find a way to prevent that incident from occuring. They needed to do something and it should be done fast!!
She stood up from her bed and was about going into the bathroom...
"Where are you going? You're not feeling well, you shouldn't be walking around." He said.
Elen flashed him a smile and spoke. "I'm fine Alexander, I just need to use the bathroom." She explained and she could see he was contemplating on letting her go, but eventually he nodded.
She was about to move her feet but it seemed she twisted her ankle and she fell. She knew it was going to be hard fall because she had lost all of her balance. However, the 'hard fall' she was expecting never came because a huge arm wrapped around her waist securely.
Alexander's arms were securely wrapped around her waist while Elen's tiny hands were hung over his neck. They stared at each other for an immeasurable amount of time before Alexander finally let go.
"Ahhh!!"she yelped in pain. It seemed like she hurt her ankle badly.
Alexander heard her scream and rushed to meet her.
"Are you alright?" He asked and she nodded.
She stood up again but her legs were still aching so she stumbled on Alexander's chest and he fell back on the bed with Elen on top of him.
They stared at each other for a long while and neither of them moved. Somehow, Alexander had already turned hard with her just staying on top of him. He had been wanting to do many things with her but he kept his cool, he wanted her to willingly come to him and he'll patiently wait for that day, no matter how long it takes.
His mind was in a chaos, he's never felt anything for anyone like this after the incident that happened in the past. He turned himself into a cold ice unable to melt, but ever since she came into his life, his heart had started to melt. She had melted his cold heart unknowingly and only he knew that it was not a good thing.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." She apologized. Her hot breath caressing his face. He stared at her lips and he subconsciously closed his eyes. Just staring at her cute little lips was enough to make him go wild. He wanted to kiss her but she was ill and he didn't want to stress her out.
He used his fingers to caress her face and cupped her hair in his hands. "Don't apologize, I want you on top of me...like this..." He said in a seductive voice.
Elen realized their intimate position and she pulled away but he grabbed her arms and flipped her over, he was now hovering over her and Elen gulped.
He buried his face on her nape and inhaled her toxic scent. He placed kisses on her neck. His lips trailed from her neck and moved to her face. He kissed her eyes, his lips were about to touch hers but something stopped him.
'Alexander, she's ill. She's going to be yours very soon so stay calm.' His inner mind told him and that was all he needed to pull away...The fact that she was ill. It would be unfair to stress her already healing body.
"Helena..." He muttered before he pulled away.
He stood up and went inside the bathroom to clear his head, leaving Elen in her own train of thoughts.
She's really feeling bad for him. He's been holding back just because she said she wasn't ready yet. She knew it was unfair of her, but what could she have done, she didn't have a choice at that moment.
He didn't have any mistresses to satisfy his desires and she was depriving him of his rights as her husband. What if she doesn't allow him and he forcefully have his way with her? No! He wouldn't do that, he's not that type of man! She thought to herself. She knew that sooner or later if she didn't give in to him, he would find himself a mistress and that was one thing she would never allow!!
She knew she was being selfish. Not allowing her husband to have a mistress and not giving him her body was something no man would ever accept, especially if he was a prince. But her husband respected her decision and didn't force himself on her.
During the past few days, she had found herself attached to him. She didn't know what was happening to her heart that made it flutter anytime she's with him. Just his touch can ignite a fire within her. All of these feelings were new to her, she hadn't felt this way towards any man before. She wondered what was happening to her and she was not a fool to be blinded by these feelings. Was this the so called 'love' people always talked about? Was this really love? Was she in love with him? If what she was feeling for her husband was love, then she wanted to continue feeling this way for him. Forever.
She didn't care if he doesn't feel the same way for her. All that matters to her now was that he'll stay by her side and never leave her again.
Her mind drifted back to the time when she had said she won't fall for her husband. She had been so confident that time. Who would have thought that she'll fall for him during the first few days of her stay with him? She had never in her wildest dreams thought that she would fall in love with him this early.
The funny part of it all was that she couldn't even bear to stay away from him for a moment.
"Are you feeling okay now?" His sexy voice jolted her from her thoughts.
She lifted her chin to look at him and she subconsciously let her mouth fall open.
