As I opened my eyes, I felt pangs of pain scream in my head. My head was literally banging. I held it so dear and lightly to help dwindle the pain.
Few moments later, I noticed that the pain was no longer present and my head also stopped banging.
Then, I settled down on the bed still wondering where on earth I was, 'Last night..' I thought trying to figure out what really happened.
"Oh no!" I screamed as the memories soon flashed to my memory.
It was Prince Wilder and I who got wedded yesterday, 'Then what?' I thought curiously.
"Prince Killan" I jumped off the bed and I winced.
I had finally remembered what happened yesterday and strangely, I feel sorry for Killan. The whole scene was just like a dream to me, and I find it so hard to stop asking myself if the Queen wasn't Killan's mother.
'Woah' I muttered as the situation appeared enigmatic to me.
Poor Killan, she just can't be his mother, because no mother would give her child such grave punishment.
"You're awake" I heard a hoarse voice say.
Instantly, I figured out who it was. Although I didn't get to know him that much, with the little time we've spent together, I can recognise my husband's voice- I giggled at the thought.
"Mnn" I muttered audibly.
"Right." He replied.
He sat close to me on the bed and smiled. His smile appeared to be fake and forced, which I found to be bizarre.
With my voice laced with so much curiously, I asked "Is anything the matter? You look so dull"
Prince Wilder just faced me with digust filled in those eyes of his, and I got more curious as to why he looked at me in that manner. "Prince Wilder.."
He interrupted me before I could even speak, and his voice was filled with much hurt. "Yunno, I had always thought you are different".
I got more puzzled and didn't even find the right words to say, my lips parted slightly but words refused to come put of my mouth. "But you are not" he added
My eyes scanned every corner of him face as I tried so much to decipher the words he spoke to me. His eyes spoke nothing but pain, hurt and a shattered hope, all which I didn't reason why.
'Did he hear something bad about me? Was it something I said or did?' I repeatedly asked myself this question but I just couldn't place my hands to why exactly he was mad at me.
He lowered his gaze, as if trying to hide his teary and heartbroken eyes away from me, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
I got curious even more, what was it that I failed to tell him? "Prince Wilder, what do you mean?"
His gaze fell on me and I shivered, it was atrocious for me to look into. His eyes looked so berserk like one who had just seen the devil. His eyes reminded me of Killan's piercing gazes on me the day I told him about my pregnancy.
I held my mouth at the thought that flashed through my mind, was he mad because he's found out about my pregnancy?
No! That can't be, if he has, then I'll be a dead meat. "Why didn't you tell me about your fucking pregnancy?" he slammed his fist on the table and I felt my throat go dry.
My heart soon began to palpitate atrociously and for a moment, it was as if a huge rock fell on me.
I couldn't get my mouth to say any word, "P-"
He won't let me speak either, he interrupted me again, "How could you…? Do you know the crime you've just committed?" He yelled furiously.
It's best if I don't say anything, but I still wondered how he got to know. Was it because I slumped?
"Why don't you say something?" he yelled even more, his voice breaking.
"I'm sorry..I tried discouraging you from choosing me but you refused" I replied.
He stayed silent for some seconds, then his lips parted in a devilish way, "So you admit it's true..you deceived the King, Queen and even me"
At the moment, my silent prayer was that the ground should open and swallow me, or he should even kill me at the moment- after all, this past few weeks, the only thought I had towards myself was death.
But I felt some what guilty,..no! Very guilty.
His eyes held hatred, a feeling I am certain he had never felt towards me before.
His teeths won't stop gritting and his eyes were teary and twitching each second, like he was fighting back millions of tears from pouring from those innocent eyes of his.
The few days I have spent in this Palace, I had only heard bad and nasty news about his wicked side but with this few days I had spent with him, all I sensed around him was comfort, very different from what Killan's aura emits.
I felt like I was the most awful person on the planet, maybe I should have told him but that didn't sound as a better idea either.
He looked me in the eyes and with a broken voice, he asked "Who else knows about the pregnancy?".
I stuttered as I gave him my response, "No.. one, I kept it from everyone"
"Why did you approach me then? Are you also after my money?" He asked in a not-so friendly tone. His tone was hoarse and cold.
It was nothing I was ever used to, "I'm not after your money I promised" I managed to say. He chuckled in annoyance, "How could I trust you then?"
His response made me bite my lips torturously, "I promise, I'm not after your money. You can divorce me…"
Before I could complete my words, he interrupted me, "It's not that simple Poema! How many times do I have to tell you I love you? And I won't let this baby hinder that either…but it hurts that you didn't tell me" he yelled.
I felt cold chills run through my spine as i watched him panting for breath, then he held my chin in his hands.
His mouth opened and he asked, "Who is the father of your baby?"
My throat went sour and completely dry, how could I explain to my newly-wedded husband that..that his brother and greatest enemy, Prince Killan is the father of my unborn child?
I'm doomed!
