Rex hitting at the door, please "Ella open the door" said Rex. Princess Maya phone continues ringing, Rex turns to her " please get who is calling, i will talk to her", said Rex. "Make sure she yield to the mission at hand, i don't want to hear stories", said Princess Maya and she pick up her phone walking out of the room. Rex sits down at the door. 'How can i allow her gets marry to her best friend father as the 8th concubine? Even if it means dishing my inheritance, Ella you are not going to leave me for that man'. Rex is shock at his own thoughts. 'Do i really love her that much or i' m still confused'. Hitting the door "Ella please open the door, Princess Maya have just left the room and if she comes back here with no results at hand, you know her anger is unbearable", said Rex. 'I can't believe i am pleading to marry my best friend while engaged to Julia Rex thoughts'. He stands up, "Ella i know you are disappointed at me, i have been a fool all this while to not have vision the love and needs of me. Why should you even think of getting marry to me? When all i had done is bring pains to your life. You always thought, you are not worthy of me but today i' the one who is not worthy of you Ella, your sincerity, your pure heart, your perseverance and dedication to me is something not even my mom could do? Please Ella for once allow me help you not because you are placing a demand but because, my conscience is killing me from been a fool all this while. Please for God sake open this door".
Ella is siting quietly at the other side listening to him talk, 'is he sincere or just want to help'. 'Princess Maya is right, is not just about me but about my grandmother, and the Queen too. Even if i don't think of myself, let me think of that old woman who is a representative of herself. She can't survive life in Sanilar city' Ella though and opens the door to see Rex sitting there so helpless. Is the first time she have really seen him this way.
Rex on seeing her opens the door gets up to embrace Ella " thank you for opening the door", said Rex". Ella sidewalk him and refuses the embrace and Rex stands there like a fool. Ella goes and sits down. "I open the door not because you requested me too but because, if i don't yield to the solution at hand, my grandmother will lost all her properties and be exile from her own village. A place she had spend all her life with her husband. And my grandmother's husband grave is at the back of the house where she is living. The death of my parents have taken a torn on her. She needs me now and i had promised her she should not worry a solution is on the way", said Ella. Rex comes and sits beside her as she shift from him not to touch her.
"The second reason is because of the Queen of Wattu kingdom, Princess Maya loves her mother so much and will do anything to protect her happiness, she had been there for me and i can't allow that innocent woman to go through another depression again as a results of me when i can help it", so Rex" staring at him "we are going to get marry and immediately we gets a divorce and we go our separate ways. I don't want to have anything to do have anything to do with you, Julia and whatever concerns you" said Ella as she gets up walking away. "Stop right there Ella", said Rex gets up too walks towards her. "What do you want me to do?" You have Been besides me for 7years and not once hve you fought for me. Not once have you show me you love me that much accept after the departure of Julia. I was confused and miss her too. Should i had responded to you when i wasn't in love with you? Who will love someone so much and never fight for them. Anytime you gets and an opportunity you let them get into my life like what just happened. Immediately Julia came back instead of staying you run away" said Rex. While he is talking Ella os boiling with anger and turn round to face him. How dare you ask me to fight for you? Are you ok? What should i be fighting for? Should i fight for someone who have never seen the woman in me? Who at the present of any other girl he forgets about me? Who have never treated me as his own even when the others are not present", said Ella pushing Rex, what should i be fighting for". Rex holds her to be still and cover her mouth with a kiss he have always wanted the moment she comes out of that room. Ella fighting the kiss while Rex push her to the wall, forcing her to accept him, his place his hand on her buttocks drawing her closer and pressing her on the wall. "Please Rex stop" said Ella. "I can't Ella" reply Rex, place his other hand on her breast while kissing her neck and forcing her to comply to his demands. "Touch me Ella", said Rex but Ella push him away "don't you ever lay hands on me again" said Ella walking away and realizing how shaken she is and how Rex have done a good job in bringing out her desires in seconds. Rex standing there adjusting his dress, "not again Ella" said Rex. How can one girl who claims to love me so much resist me this long and same time i can't seem to lay my hands off her. Does she know the power she hve over me? How can i be begging, pleading to get marry to someone who doesn't want too and Julia the love of my life is begging me to make love to her and i can't.
Ella standing at the window staring out and not caring about the scrutiny Rex is sending her way. If he likes let him gets angry but there no way i' m having sex with him after what he did to me' thought Ella. Rex walks up to her standing behind her and so close but not touching her. What "happened to us Ella? Even went we were not dating we were so close to a point that all my girlfriends could not believe we are just friends. We use to keep each other company, be there for each other and it was the world against Rex and Ella. I have never chose any of my girlfriends over you even went Lea separated with me because she insisted i choose her over you. How caould i chose a passersby of my best friend? I could not do that Ella. Alexandra insisted i let you go and in those 2years of dating her, i could not let you go even if i love her",
Ella shift from his closeness, the more he speaks the more she is getting weaker and she can't show him how much he affects her not when Julia is engaged to him. Rex continues " if i neve separated with any of my dates because of you Ella. How can i do that now that your life depends on it. Do you know how i feel when you are not around? I feel like part of me is missing Ella". "Stop right there Rex". Don't misinterprete lust for love, you are just woke up because the innocent, willing Ella have decided to let go of you and grow up. You are angry because, i' not at your beck and call, i have put all my needs in front of you. I waited for you, pleads to be called yours and stood by you so one day yiu can see the woman in me but what did i get at the end. Heartbreaks. Yiu destroyed the innocent Ella, the little girl that assisted you that day you got into her car. I shouldn't have helped back then. Many had call that day a curse on me but i did everything to see it as a light at the end of the tunnel. You are engaged About to be marry to the love of your life while i am in a battlefield struggling to save my own existence. So don't stand there and tell me you let go two unreasonable relationships for me. I have let go many relationships that Princess Maya insisted i stay with for you.
Rex is surprise, "yes i did" Ella shaking her heads. There were men who wented me too but i never pay attention for them because whenever i'm with them and you demanded for my presence , i will leave without a second though. I also had a life out of you Rex, but you were so dumb to see it. Our relationship was all about what you want, where you want it and with who you need it to be. I only fit in the equation when you are lonely or needed someone to talk too. You will play with me on the bed knowing fully well how i feel about yiu and you will let me go immediately something good appear.
Do you know how i learn to resisting you? By paying attention to every tiny details of yours. I exposed my heart, my body and soul to become use to your rejection to a point that they becomes adapted to your ways. And later they can let go and be fine. You are just new to my routine and is already getting woke up. Imagine me accepting that rejection over and over." Ella face him". I had loved you Rex, i worship the ground you walk on. Just been besides you was enough for and later i wanted more. I havd pictures countless time how i will seduce you from Alexandra or Julia but later asked myself. Why should i hurt myself because immediately you will be done with me, they will fill back thier place in your heart. There was times i will be siting with you and all i wish if for you to kiss me, hold me and play with me the way you will do with Julia. Romance me and tell me you need me. Just once say those words even if they are not true.
Rex embrace her "stop talking Ella and don't fight me please". Ella can feel the pounding of his heart beat on his check. She can feel the resistance he is struggling to keep in check. Rex holds her tight like he can absorb himself into her body. He place his head on her shoulder "i am sorry Ella", said Rex. Is sound like almost a whisper on Ella's ear. Gradually Rex calms down in her arms and separate with her staring at her eyes. " I understand you now but i wish for a favor" said Rex. "Ella staring at him with shock what do you want?" As Ella. Ella i want to kiss you and please...? Rex did not finish talking but Ella is already about leaving him. Rex holds her back, is just a kiss Ella, please let forget about Julia, about the king of Wattu kingdom, about the all our problems. I want this kiss to be different and nothing like before. Even of is just for a second please Ella look at me". Ella is not staring at him, please look at me Ella and Ella Raise up her head stares at the demanding mouth, eyes and face of Rex. How could one man be this handsome and breathtaking at the same time. With those lips even a nun will forget her calling and no married woman will think twice before accepting.
Ella's heart starts pounds as Rex place his hands on both side of her neck, breathing into her face and getting closer to her mouth with his. Ella lock with the demands of his eyes as she draws nearer to him breaking all resistance she though she still had. The man really knows how to shut all doors of refusals from a woman. The moment Rex touch her lips, he gather her into his arms demanding her response to his touh on his mouth. He push further to her mouth taking her tongue into his and drawing every energy from her to stand still. His needs for her is evidence from this kiss. Is just a kiss but is like Rex is touching every part of her body and she tremble in his arms press towards him further to feel him more. He did not let go his lips but his hands are romancing her waist, her back and he let go her mouth place his mouth on her ear. Sucking it while his right hand goes down to her thighs. Ella gasps gor breath in the desires piling in her stomach she almost let go, to give in to his desires and the passionate touch of his is something she had never feel before. This is what she had ever wanted, to be touch with passions, desires and love not just for sex. This is something she had never witnessed or partake in with Rex. This is the Rex she wants and today he have show her what he can do. Ella place her right habd at the back of his neck caressing him whil her left hand undo two buttons on his shirt and Ella bend and suck his breast. Rex make a sound of pleasure demanding she goes ahead but he left up her head to his face and kissing her again while undoing her trousers. The soud of the door as Princess Maya's opens the door to see them engulf in each other's arms and they separates from each other.
"I said persuade her to accept not lure her into intimacy," said PrincessMaya. Ella is trying to adjusther dress, same with Rex. Beforei forget, there will be no consummation of marriage. Because accordingto the laws of Sanilar city, if both of you consummate your marriage divorce alone will take 5-7 years and may still not be granted" said Princess Maya smiling. Rex turns to Princess Maya "i was able to convince her to accept the deal", said Rex. "Yes i saw the evidence when i walked in. But don't forget is a contract marriage, i don't have time to deal with a long divorce procedure if you can keep your hands off her" said Princess Maya. Rex walks over to Ella. I need to get some things ready for tomorrow and from there depart to the village for the presentation", he kiss her on her forehead. "Ok" Ella said. "See you soon", said Rex. Walking back to Princess Maya "thank you for protecting her from her own self", said Rex. And i wish i can protect her from you too" said Princess Maya. I know", said Rex walking out of the room.
Ella is silence, she walks and sits down not knowing how to react to Princess Maya. Princess Maya understands her. "So if i had stayed 5 minutes more, you would have had sex with him". Ella turns to her " i try fighting his seductive ways Princess Maya, i stop him twice and he had to plead with me just for a kiss. I don't know why he can't keep his hands off me, his touch today is everything i had dream of. The Rex of today is the man i had dream off but is too later" said Ella. Princess Maya staring at her keenly "been engaged to Julia did not stop you from giving into his demands". Ella is silence i don't like sharing my man with another but in this case, i'm the other woman Princess Maya. I am stealing him from his woman, why does fornication soud so sweet and adventurous? If you were here to hear his screams for more, his body wanted me, his soul and mine must have been partnering for this because i can't explain the desires and passions i feel. Thank the gods you came and stop me , i wanted so badly to stop but no will Power.
Princess Maya is silence abeat " if you love him Ella keep him, there is no arm is fighting for your own happiness", said Princess Maya. I can't keep what is not mine Princess Maya, if he wants to stay let him not me doing that for him. I tried once and backfired on me, i am just too scared to have another heartbreak again" said Ella. But you were not able to stop him for devolving the woman in you. I saw the looks on his eyes Ella, those are not looks of a man just for desires but of a man in need of the woman in his arms. I was shocked at first but the truh be told, Rex may be everything but he do care about you Ella. If he didn't, he wouldn't have been pleading for you to get marry to him and safe you from my father" said Princess Maya.
Rex in a car going back home, 'how could i be this attracted to her? Has it been ever since or only now. One thing i know is that i can't allow her gets marry to that old man. What about Julia?' Taxi drop him in front of the house, he walks into the gate hoping to see Julia but went he touch the door it's lock. He opens the door and she is no where to be found. Rex rush to his room and starts packing some of his dresses. He finish pack them, write a note that his father have send him for some out station work. He leaves the house, enters his car and drives out of the gate. .
The next day Ella dress in a simple white gown, Princess Maya walks into the room as she is staring herself on the mirror "I just feel something is wrong with this" said Ella. You mean with the dress" as Princess Maya. "No not the dress this marriage" said Ella. The only thing that is wrong is Rex getting late" said Princess Maya. She collects a flower and pin it on Ella's dress. You are a fine bride" said Princess Maya. Ella holds her hand " thank you so much Princess Maya for doing this.

Is because of you that i had never feel the lost of my parents and you are the sister i never had" said Ella, kissing the hands of Princess Maya. You are my only friend Ella, i will do anything to puts smile on this face of yours even though Rex if fun of taking it away.

The driver rush into the sitting room "My Princess, there is a lady down stairs searching for Rex and her name is Julia". Ella freeze
