After returning to the villa, I immediately explained to my father what had happened.
And as a result, knowing that someone was trying to kill me, the number of guards increased.
Of the "knight", i lost contact with him.
And the days went by,always the same.
Like every day, Alexandre came to the villa.
Since the marriage hadn't been annulled, he was still trying to change my mind, manipulating me in trying to make me fall in love with him again.
I was drowning in a sea of sweet words, gifts and..... unwanted attention.
I couldn't refuse to see him, it was the king's orders.
Just like every day, I was bored to death.

"Then I shoot an arrow in its heart, and this is how I managed to catch this fox; you know that white foxes are rare and-;Leyla are you listening to me?!": Alex.
"*ehm* yes....sorry ,What were you saying?"
"*Ah!* Yes, then...shortly after I encountered a bear , but lucky for him, he ran away , *eh!* he had sensed that I was stronger than him ; then...*blah-blah**blah-blah*":Alex.
I couldn't stop thinking about my knight.
I wanted to see him again, but I didn't know what his name was, nor his face, what color his eyes were , what color his hair was; in short... I could only remember his voice and nothing else.
Day after day ,I was hoping to wake up and finding at least 1 letter of my knight but...nothing.
And speaking of letters, the one that I found on the bandit turned out to be a dead end; I had to hurry up, I didn't know until luck would be on my side.
-------------------------------------
After 2 weeks ,a boring and monotonous morning would prove to be a real godsend.
---------11:34 a.m. ;2 September 1748-------------
"I grabbed him by the arm and ,bam, straight in the stomach,*eh!* you have to admit that I'm strong, no, better .... unbeatable!": Alex
"*Ugh* is the seventh time you tell me this story! , aren't you tired of coming over EVERY TIME?! ;you could do something more enjoyable, *hmm* how about,...ah! there it is;What about going on a date with Miss Davout?! I'm sure you'd have a great time."
"HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?!?!? ,there's NOTHING between us anymore ; and then, I'm happy to spend time with you , my dear; And, Why didn't you tell me straight away that you were bored?, We could.....you know....have a nice evening, just the two of us .... in your room-":Alex
*slap*(Leyla slaps Alexandre)
"AS ALWAYS ,YOU'RE THE SAME!!! , HOW MANY TIMES DID I TOLD YOU TO NOT TOUCH ME?!!! ; I DON'T LIKE YOU!!! ACTUALLY.... YOU MAKE ME PUKE, YOU DISGUST ME, I DESPISE YOU!!!
YOU'RE A PIG.... A JERK!!!"
*slap*(Alexandre slaps back Leyla )
"YOU SHOULD THANK ME INSTEAD!!,BITCH ; IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, WITH THE PERSONALITY YOU HAVE , NOBODY.... AND I REPEAT MYSELF, NOBODY WOULD WANT YOU AS A WIFE!!!! ;
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST INTENTION OF TOUCHING YOU, MUCH LESS OF MARRYING YOU, BUT I'M FORCED TO DO SO ; IT'S ALL THE FAULT OF MY STUPID FATHER AND THAT TYRANT OF THE KING!-":Alex
*knock-knock*
--------------------------
Our discussion,suddenly, was interrupted, thankfully; if it had continued, in addition to a slap right in the face, I'd bet there'd be more.
Undoubtedly Alexandre was very popular among women, rich and good-looking, but... He had problems.
One of them was: his anger issues ;And his behavior would led him to raise his hands to people, and no gender nor age of the "instigator" would make any difference to him .
Several times he had raised his hands against a woman, and again this "episode" would had been covered up to protect the honor of the family.
---------------------------
"Come in"
*creeeak*
"*ehm*Miss,I apologies to bother you, but I've come to inform you that we have guests over."
"Who?"
"Countess Isabelle Davout and her family":Butler
"What are they doing HERE?!"
"I was told that-":Butler
"WAIT!,I'll tell her!,now...SCRAM!!; ": Isabelle
"With your permission" :Gerard
*Clank*
"Ah! , well-well, what do we have here!? , it looks like a couple of lovebirds .... well,not for long ah,ah,ah!": Isabelle
"What do you mean?!"
"I mean that... YOU WILL NOT MARRY HIM, because Alexandre will marry ME!": Isa
"?!?": Alex
"Yes! because I am carrying his child;.... I am pregnant!": Isabelle
"W-what the-*ehm*. I mean..., IT CAN'T BE!!": Alex
"WELL, IT IS ,HONEY!!!!; YOU WILL BE A FATHER SOON! ": Isabelle
-------
I couldn't believe my ears ,Isabelle was really pregnant? ;
And if what he said was true, then it all worked out.
Alex married Isabelle, and I was free to continue my life in peace.
But more importantly, I could proceed with my revenge.
------
I couldn't believe my OWN ears ,"Isabelle was really pregnant?";
And if what she said was true, then it all worked out.
Alex will marry Isabelle, and I will be free to live my life in peace.
But more importantly, I can go on with my revenge.
-------------------------------------
1 week later, Alexandre d'Albéric was forced to marry Isabelle Davout.
----------------------------------------
"This was meant to be their revenge against those who had hindered their love; their "happily ever after" but..,as usual
...life is not a bed of roses"
