Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

Arthur had been frightened ever since Alicia entered the room with the women, he had stared in his study and tried to focus on other things but his mind was still on his wife, Was she okay?, did she need him?, he had no way of knowing, he would occasionally hear her screams and his heart would fly out of his chest, he was so relieved when a maid that was waiting outside the room had come to inform him that the baby was out, he smiled so widely his cheeks reached his ear, he was so happy, he rushed to the room, his bodyguard, Luther right behind him, her slammed the door open hoping to see his child in his wife's arms, but he was caught completely off-guard from what he saw, his wife was unconscious, the room was dark, there was no sign of the women who had assisted his wife, he felt something was off so he turned on the lights and almost fainted, he saw red paint all over the floor, so he read what he said and when he did he wished he hadn't. THIS IS FOR ADELITA. Arthur's breath quickened as he remembered what had happened years ago. Arthur had been inlove with a woman named Adina, she was a beautiful as a goddess, as calm as the waves and as sweet as the grapes, he loved her and she loved him. He was the young prince at that time, as the heir he had a lot of obligations and felt uneasy and stressed all the time, but with adina, he felt free. He knew he had responsibilities but could not avoid falling inlove with her. One day he finally decided to elope with her, he took her and nothing else, they ran away to a nameless town in Country A, he had been oddly satisfied being with her rather than being being king, he was still scared his father would find him so he was prepared, he gave all the citizens a fake name so they wouldn't know him, he got rid of his phone and got a new credit card with his new fake name, he was living a new life and he was happy. Things had gone well for a year but he had no idea how drastically things could turn, he had came home late after work, he saw adina sitting on their bed in their bedroom, holding something and crying, concern filled his eyes "Love?" he called to her, she jumped slightly which proved she was hadn't even noticed his presence "Yes?", she replied, "Are you okay?" he asked, she sniffed and stood then walked towards him, she looked reluctant to tell him, she took a deep breath then looked him in the eye and said "I'm pregnant". Arthur stared at her in shock, then he smiled, "OhmyGod, I'm gonna be a father!!!" he said, Adina nodded and they hugged each other, joy warming their hearts. The next few months were peaceful until arthur got a call one day. A sunny afternoon, everywhere was peaceful and calm, adina was cooking while arthur sat outside watching the children run around as they played barefooted, their legs dirty, he chuckled and sighed, " the innocence of children" he murmured and smiled as he thought about his coming child, his thoughts were immediately interrupted by the ringing of the cell phone on the table, he had bought a phone to be able to talk to adina in case of any emergency but he didn't have any numbers on it apart from adina's so he wondered who was calling him, he picked up the phone and saw it was an unknown number, fear and worry slowly crept into his heart as he picked up the call, "Hello?", arthur answered uncertainty in his voice, "Hello, my prince" he heard from the other line.
