AMELIA'S POVI woke up very early because of two deliveries.One from the flower shop and one from the furniture store. Finally, my display case arrived.I've waited for it for so long and now that it's here, I really feel like I'm really starting a business.Philip came early as well and help the delivery men to set up the display case. Now that I've realized that I like him, I can't help but to smile everytime I see him. He doesn't know yet that I like him and I don't know how to tell him. It just feels so nice to be in loved. In love with a person who loved me first. Now I just wish I won't fall harder. Today's letter goes like this — 'Hoping for a good day today too'A short letter which makes me so happy.These letters are one of the reasons my everyday life is complete. I have something to look forward to every morning, the flowers and of course — him.After setting up, I cleaned up and Philip helped me.Yeah we're always cleaning. It's always cleaning and cleaning.

PHILIP'S POV"Can you be my boyfriend?" Amelia asked. Making me shock as ever. Am I dreaming? Or is she joking?Is this real?I can't believe it."h-huh?" I asked while blinking over and over again. It's real? like for real?"you don't want to?" she asked again and looked at at the sea.I immediately came into realization.She really asked that right. She did. She really didI immediately stood up which made her look at my direction."for real?" I asked with my smile as wide as the ocean."why? do you think I'm kidding?" she asked while keeping a poker face.I'm amaze, how can she keep a poker face while saying those words.At my excitement, I ran back and forth while screaming at the top of my lungs."Lia!" I called. She looked at me, she's still sitting there while being gorgeous as ever."why?!" she shouted back as we're quite far from each other by now.I spread my arms."Lia, my girlfriend! Lia is now my girlfriend!" I shouted and begun running again at the place.After running
AMELIA'S POVThis ride is so long. It's not that I don't want to be with him, it's just that I wanna rest. I looked at him once again.And then there, I found my rest.I found my home."Phil" I called.Without him looking at me, he held my hand and continued to drive with one hand. Oh, how captivating."hmm?" he asked."thank you" I said. At this point, he already looked at me. Probably wondering."for what?" he asked and then looked back on the road."for being my boyfriend" I answered.It's true though, I am thankful that he is my boyfriend even though we haven't even in a relationship for 24 hours yet. It only has been hours and here I am, being so happy to the thought that he's my boyfriend and I will never let go of him.I saw how his smile curved."I should be the one who's grateful here. Thank you, my Lia for being my girlfriend" he said and held my hand tighter."are you happy?" I asked out of the blue.I just wanted to talk to him but I don't know what to talk about actuall
LORNA'S POV"Good morning, Miss Lorna!" Dad's worker waved his hand. I waved back.It's morning again and I am here to pick up some breakfast. Gione left already and I can say that I woke up so late today. I am not expecting to see Charles today here in the farm as it's already late, he come by here very early."good morning" I greeted back.I am smiling until someone caught my eye. He's standing there at the barricade of the plants. Is that Charles?I waited for him to turn his gaze at me but he didn't. He's fixing something on his cart. I walked towards him and it really is Charles.Out of excitement, I ran towards him and jokingly I surprised him, he seemed shock."miss Lorna. You're here" he mouthed. Is he that shock?I looked at his cart and it's wheel is already broken. I held the handle of the cart and tried to push it if it will move.It actually did moved but not smoothly."should I tell the other workers about this? they can fix this or replace it" I said but then he loo
CHARLES' POVI saw her. She was right there but I didn't even looked at his direction.Pop told me about her Dad not wanting his employees to date his daughter.I don't want to get into trouble and I know that Lorna would be in trouble as well if her Dad found out about our relationship."two carrots" the customer said, making me go back to my senses.That's right. Lorna is also my employer as well. She's also my boss. I'm just one of their hundreds of employees who sells their fruits and vegetables.I'm just no one. It's like she's the sun and I'm the soil. We're definitely not in the same stage. She's up there and I'm down here.This is good now, I'll respect her decision if she'll hate me from this.Well, in the first place, I shouldn't have liked her. I know that it's not right but still, I expressed my feelings. And that's what I shouldn't have did.Pop told me about it since he said that Lorna's Dad saw us eating at the burger restaurant. I don't want it to be that hard for L
AMELIA'S POVI am somewhat super nervous by thought of me opening my cafe today. I looked at Philip and he's already looking at me. "you're ready?" he asked.I looked at Gione as well and she's super excited. She's already holding the scissors. "relax, there's still time left" Philip said. I just nodded and we all go outside the house. We're gonna tie the ribbon for the ribbon cutting. It's so funny since Gione is much more excited than me. I'm super nervous but she's not even nervous. I'm so nervous as I think no one will come. No one even know that I'm opening, I don't know. I just hope someone will come then that would be amazing. I just hope that it won't be just the three of us again. "don't be nervous, love" Philip tapped me on my back as we start to tie the ribbons. "should I tell the whole city that you'll do the ribbon cutting now?" Gione excitedly asked. Sugar rush again?I saw how Philip sighed."little girl, if Amelia doesn't like it, don't push it. Get it?" he as
PHILIP'S POVThe opening was successful.It's already 8pm and everyone already left — also Gione. So it's just the two of us again. Finally!I saw Amelia took the tray and put the used cups, plates and utensils on it so I took it from her.It must be heavy.She let me do it and I did put it on the sink. Seeing the sink, I need to wash lot of dishes. Where did these came from?I looked back and saw that Amelia is wiping the table and re-arranging the tables. It must be heavy.I quickly ran towards her and I re-arranged the tables by myself. "love?" she called that's why I turned my gaze at her while carrying a table."yes love?" I asked and quickly go back to what I am doing."aren't you tired? I'll do that" she said and carried another table. I can see from her face that she's struggling."no, I am not tired at all love" I answered and took the table from her.She didn't argued anymore and let me do it. But I saw her go straight to the kitchen and heard the kitchen sink as well."she
PHILIP'S POVI woke up because of a noise. I don't know where it's coming from but I know for sure that it's just inside my room.When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw Sophie playing with her toys in my room.She looked at me and I saw that she had those sad eyes. When I looked at her more, clearer now, it looks like she cried.Wait, I just woke up, is it okay to talk to her? I didn't brushed my teeth yet."good morning, Princess" I greeted her. She likes it when people call her princess which she really is."Philip" she called with a soft voice and then a tear have left her eye, and then for a moment she bursted into tears.Seeing her cry, breaks my heart."what's wrong?" I asked and quickly stood up to approach her. I walked towards her and held her in my lap."Princess Sofie, what's wrong?" I asked. She didn't said anything and continued to cry. She hugged me and cry on my chest.I pat her hair and keeps on saying that it's fine.Who made her cry? where's Mom? where's her
AMELIA'S POV"so, who is she?" I asked and smiled at Philip, "it seems like, she has a grudge against me" I tried to laugh, but Philip didn't. "She's-she's Princess Dahlia" he answered and stopped eating the strawberries. I nodded. She's pretty. "she's your fiancee. She must be angry that I am here" I answered. "both my parents like you more, plus, I can't stand her attitude" she answered. "why? both of you are in the same level. You look good together too" I answered. "Amelia" he called and held my hand. "Philip" I called as well. "If it is not you, it's not anyone right. You're the only one I like and if there's someone I want to get married with, it's obviously you" he answered."but, how about her?" I asked. "don't mind her. She won't bother us anymore" he answered. I just nodded. I don't want to keep thinking about it, but I just can't. I wanna know more about her."is there anything you're curious about?" he asked.Did he read my mind?"a lot actually" I answered. T
AMELIA'S POV Today is my third day here in the castle. Almost feel like forever indeed. I decided to stay here and not leave as I don't want to leave Philip. I don't want to hurt Philip, but it is already me who is hurting. I don't think so if this is still healthy, but otherwise, as long as he is happy, I am happy. I sat on top of my bed and from here I looked around.Today, the Queen asked me to have tea with her, but I said I couldn't. I said that I am not feeling well which is absolutely a lie since I am feeling very well today, in fact I have a lot of energies. It's just that, as much as I can, I don't want to be in the same place as her. When she's around, it feels suffocating. Before, I look up at her so much that I even admire the entire her, her personality, her looks, how she moves. But, now that I already know how she thinks, she's kinda selfish indeed. Another day, anothrer day of missing home. Philip said that he'll do anything so that I can feel the same comf
AMELIA'S POVI stayed with Princess Sophie since she was crying over and over again. Now, she took me somewhere outside the Palace. Now, I just realized that the palace indeed is so wide, both from the inside and outside."Now, what should we do?" I asked since she brought me to an empty field. "We are going to my tree house" she smiled.Tree House.I suddenly remembered Gone. Is she eating well? does she still remember me? does she even miss me? does she still go to my shop? how's Charles?As I was about to tear up again, I contained my tears and smiled at Sophie."Are we there yet?" I asked."a bit more, Princess Amelia" she politely answered. "Okay, Princess Amelia will be patient" I answered and smiled at her.I looked around and it somewhat feels less suffocating here. I feel like I am more comfortable here.As we continue to walk, we reached a big tree house. Wow, it is huger than I thought it would be."This is yours?" I asked."yes, my brother built it for me" she answered w
AMELIA'S POV"why did you do that?" I asked Philip as we walk inside the Castle.We just had breakfast and Philip said he'll tour me around.Well, he might as well do so since I'm planning on leaving tonight. I just wanna leave today, this is not comfortable.Well, the pros is that I can experience being a Princess and have proper conversations with the royals. But then, my conscience just can't.I don't like lying. "love?" Philip suddenly called so I got back from my consciousness."yes, love?" I asked and smiled."you were dozing off. Is something wrong?" he asked. He seems pretty worried. "did I just did that?" I asked."yeah. Is something wrong, love? what's our problem?" he asked. That made me smile. He always is the one who have concern on me."no, there's nothing wrong. So, what did you just said again?" I asked, of course I should divert the topic. "I said that I love you" he whispered to me.I hit him."Philip, stop" I said with my authoritative voice."okay, my Prince
AMELIA'S POV"that's your reaction? really? I'm quite disappointed" I answered truthfully. I mean, there's no point in lying though. I'll say my thoughts anyways. It's only the two of us, I know he doesn't mind me being honest with him. He giggled. "come here" he said, but ended up being the one who actually came to me and gave me a hug.I sniffed and smelled his scent. "you smells nice" I said and let go of him. "glad you liked it" he responded. "I didn't said that I liked it" I answered. "but you just said that I smells nice, that means you like it" he insisted.I grinned."not because you smells nice, doesn't me I like it" I answered again.What's with this fuss by the way?"then, don't you like me smelling nice?" he asked."of course I do" I answered."that's my girl" he hugged me again.We're just talking nonsense when we heard a knock coming from the door."Princess Amelia? the breakfast is ready. Please proceed to the garden" a sweet voice said. I looked at Philip."sho
AMELIA'S POVAfter having a little chitchat with Sophie, I put her to sleep since it's midnight and she needs to sleep more. In my shock, Philip entered the room right after Sophie slept. "what are you doing here?" I asked in a whisper, scared that I might woke Sophie up. "here to visit you, I waited for you outside but you're not coming back" he whispered as well. I pulled him out of the room so that we won't wake Sophie up. Yeah, I remembered her name."you have been waiting?" I asked. He scratched the back of his head."yeah" he smiled."for how long?" I asked. "how long have you been inside? that's how long I has been waiting. I saw you left your room and saw how scared you were when you heard Sophie's cry" he laughed. I immediately hit him."then you know that I was lost. Why didn't you approached me?" I asked with a big question mark on my face.He gave me a genuine smile. The smile he always give me everytime he stares at me."I just wanna watch my Princess" he smiled ,"y
[THIS IS A FLASHBACK FROM WHEN AMELIA WAS STILL IN THE PALACE]AMELIA'S POV"what?" I asked the Queen ,"you lied to the King? what if he'll find out?" "he'll never find out so please enjoy your stay here, okay? Princess Dahlia is not coming if you're here. Knowing Philip, I know that he's just being patient with her" she answered.She tapped my shoulders and gave me a loving smile. After that, she left the room, leaving me on the terrace.I'm a Princess? I clearly am not.I entered the room and looked around it.How can I lie to the King? I don't wanna lie. I feel bad.I looked around the room once again and reality hits me."I don't deserve this, I'm a no Princess. How can I even enjoy these stuffs when all of it is just a lie?" I asked myself.Here I am again, talking to myself.I go outside the room again to watch the city. From here, I can see my shop. But, I can't seen it well as it's quite too far. I sighed. I need to get out of this. I don't want to suffer the consequences o
AMELIA'S POVI looked at Charles and Lorna who are washing the dishes right now. They're having so much fun and I can't help but to smile.I wish them genuine happiness.I wish for their relationship to work out and not hurt each other. While sitting here and watching a movie, I saw a familiar guy outside. My body is still sore, it aches so much, but good thing, it wasn't like before. Before, it hurts so much to the point that I can't even walk properly. The familiar guy is Phil.I know him so well to the point that I know even his shadow.I stood up slowly. I didn't made any noise so that they wouldn't notice that I left. I opened the door and Phil immediately turn around and looked at me. His eyes are so teary and right at the moment that he saw me, he gave me a one big hug.He literally squeezed me which made me groan in pain.My scars are not yet fully healed and they still hurts from time to time especially when they're being touched.When I groaned, he was so shock to the

She was so excited to go to the palace but ended up looking like this.What exactly happened? I'm going to beat that Prince when I saw him, I really will. I held her hand and was shocked to see a scar. It's not a big scar but it's still a scar. I accidentally held it which made Amelia groan. Does it hurt? I gently placed her hand to my hand and caressed it again. But in my shock, she slowly opened her eyes.Oh no, did I woke her up?Does the scar that painful for her to wake up just because I accidentally held it?I just remained silent and watched her. Her eyes roamed around the room and smiled afterwards.What is she thinking?Her eyes turned to mine and smiled wider."Lorna" she mouthed. Her voice is weak, I almost cannot hear it. "Amelia" I answered and hugged her. She groaned when I did that that's why I immediately clasp out from the hug and looked at h
