Chapter Nine: Like I Said

Edward found Nicolas in a shelter far away from the palace close to the edge of the kingdom. He came in disguise as to not alert Nicolas of his presence and as a try to befriend his run away fiance to somehow find out his reasons for leaving.

"May I say something?" Hugo was one to say a whole lot so even if Edward didn't give him permission he knew he would hear a comment of what the accounted really felt about things.

"Say it" he said as he fixed the fake mustache he had made sure to include in his disguise.

Hugo cleared his throat. "You are here to do what exactly? Your highness you have found your fiance but you still want to play games with him instead of dragging him by the hand and taking him home?"

Edward gave him a sharp look. "I cannot drag him along. Hugo if I haven't been more plain to you before let me be very clear right now. Nicolas is not bound by anything. He is free to do what he wants. I will not force him into things."

    Epilogue Nicolas couldn't in anyway say that he could understand or even want to explain the feelings that he had been invoked right at this point. At this moment. Carrying his little son in his arms. His baby. Edward and his child. He didn't even know that this little being could give him so many emotions all at once. "My baby" he hugged the small bundle. "My little gift. Oh my dear baby. To think that today you wouldn't be in this world breaks my heart. I have never loved anyone like I love you." He just knew that from now on his child would take full priority over all else. He wouldn't let anyone take him away. "Your dad" oh Edward. Nicolas left because he felt suffocated in a place that didn't want him. But would he give anything right now to be right in his lover's embrace. With their child being the center of attention. "I will take you to him my baby. He'll meet you . And I know he will be just as happy as I am to see you. " Nothing was so important to him right at this

    2SashaZeus stared at me for a minute before his grip on me faded. “I can...not. I cannot run away. I wish I could... I'm sorry but the wedding shall happen. ” He said in a defeated voice. I didn't recognize coming from him. A whole war general. A man who went to war with no fear of losing because he already knew he'd win. What did this little matter have in comparison of war? “ What?! But you love me! Not my sister! Why does Eva have to get everything?! What about me? My happiness! Zeus you can't leave me and go marry my twin sister!” I sobbed and also shouted at the same time. “ This kills me as much as it kills you love. Trust me if I could I'd marry only you. But the odds are against us love. My kingdom needs this,my father wants this! The whole country wants this. Even the fortune tellers say it shall happen. With so many forces against us who are we to fight it?”“We're in love! To hell with it fortune! To hell with my aunt and your father! To help with the country and all w

Not the person everyone else think me to be. Now I'm here standing at an alter waiting for her own twin sister...the irony! Destiny why did you forsake me so? Is it not enough that you have taken away the one I love,now you make me marry a girl who is not only her sister but her twin! “Oh! What happiness! Our families finally joined William.” Morgana, Sasha's aunt said clearly pleased with herself. “Great news indeed. ” My Father,king William said agreeing with her. I tuned them out. As they spoke and the dummies of nobles and noble women laughed and cheered. All I wanted was this day to be over with. *Finally the piano was played and the doors were opened to the bride.

    4ZeusI took Sasha to her bedroom. Laying her on the bed. “ Sasha I'm so sorry. Sorry for all the pain I must be causing you. I can't help it. All I want is to protect you and this is the only way I know how to.” I whispered in her ear. I was about to leave the room when her voice stopped me midway. “ I know. I know all you're doing is all to protect me. I know it's breaking you too just as much it is to me. But I will heal. This wound of mine shall heal.”“It shall. Goodbye then.” I said sadly trying not to look it. “Goodbye. Zeus.”She gave me one last tear filled face before she turned away from me. I also left right then. Only to have father's watchful eyes on me as soon as I returned back to the wedding reception. I walked it off as if it was nothing. I had to put on my mask especially now. My father could not find out about Sasha and I. ***EvaI had slipped out of the reception going to Sasha's room. To find her on the floor hugging her knees to head. She looked just

Dragging Eva gently but forcefully away from me. “Enough of this.. whatever it may be. Evangeline my dearest child it is time for you to go.” “But aunt I..” Eva tried to talk but aunt stopped her from continuing. “Not another word child. You have done more than enough to damper my mood towards you today do not try and dare me now. Do as I've instructed.”All this while I thought I was the only one who had it bad. But it seems aunt treats Eva the same way she treats me. Before they walked out of the room Eva gave me one last heavy look. Her eyes wrote only sadness on them. Maybe she didn't want this as much as I didn't either. “ Farewell.. sister.”I could only nod in response because I was afraid of what was to come of my voice as I had just held back a sob. She was right though it was farewell. Not only to her but to my life as I kno

    6 EvaThe journey to the kingdom of Tatraton was a long one and very tiring. At least as it felt to me anyway. The carriage kept on going bumping into all the rocks and that resulted in me bouncing up and down. I would have stumbled off the seat if Zeus hadn't caught me on time. I gasped looking at where his hand grasped me. On my waist. Was he the kind of man to perform his marriage rights on me in a carriage? I wouldn't be surprised if he would. His reputation told him of such an insultive manner to treat a woman. But instead of touching me or straight ravaging me as I thought he just helped me to sit up again. His arm still in my waist. I looked at him questioningly but he wouldn't meet my eyes or speak to me. So out of fear I just decided to let it go. I looked at the window once more. Staring as I officially entered another kingdom leaving the one that I've called home for all of my life. I suddenly remembered my mother's words. “ Your husband's home will be your home fo

I did not love him if you asked me I'd say I'm rather afraid of the man but there's nothing I can do or say in the matter. What aunt says is law to me. But what if I'm betrayed? By the same people who should be by my side at my time of need. The same people who should be taking care of me are the ones who are hurting me in the worst possible way. What will I do? What will I do to princess Sasha,my sister and king Zeus,my husband? They need to pay. 1.Miserable SashaIt has been two years since I have seen Zeus or my sister.

    Chapter 8 Baluthando I just kissed another guy! Well it was a peck but it still is a kiss! And the way he looked at me afterwards. Shit! Like he was mesmerised. Why would he look at me like that? I wasn't... I mean there was a moment, a moment where I kinda wanted to really kiss him. Especially when he licked at my lips. Trying to make me open my mouth but of course I refused him. I want look like a woman now but I know I'm not. The kingdom has a specific set of rules, the first in the line is No same sex couples. I for one had absolutely nothing against being gay. You can't choose who you fall in love with. But in this kingdom you can be killed for it. Especially if you're royality. Being the prince and gay would make my life pretty difficult. So no thank you. I love my life too much to just let myself be dead like that. “ You're silent for once.” Moli commented as we got inside the house. “ I just don't have anything to say that's all. ” He nodded. “ I'll go pl

    Chapter 7 Celiwe I walked into the house. Only to see my parents with too much black in their clothes. They looked like movie spies. I laughed making them to look at me. “ What are you guys doing?” “ Since your brother is making our lives difficult. We're going to go kidnap your husband to be. To go throw him in the arms of your brother. The sooner we do this the better for all of us” I smiled and swiped at my phone to the pic I took of both Moli and his girlfriend. Showing the both of them. Mom was first to gasp and snatched away my phone from my hands. “ Is this...?” I nodded, “ That's Moli,your son mom. He has a girlfriend and by the looks of it their pretty much happy. His eyes literally lit up the minute he saw her come in the room. Their in love.” “ If their in love then what's this about him wanting to get a night with the prince?” Father asked as he looked at the pic as well. I sighed. “ Well he just thinks I'm too young to get married. I think he just

    Chapter 5 Molitha The girl hit my hand off. “ What the hell!” I smiled at how cute she looked right now. “ Feisty little thing aren't you?” She opened her mouth as if to say something but quickly stopped herself. “ You hungry?” She nodded her head. Oh. The silent treatment. Okay guess that's fine too. I went to the kitchen to prepare something for the both of us. Since there was only butter and bread there wasn't any choice but the obvious. I took two plates for us and put four slices on each and then spread the butter on the bread. Then took out the juice from the fridge and poured it on two glasses. I managed to balance both plates and the glasses on a tray with one hand. Which was a horray! For me. When I got to the living room again I saw the girl trying to sit up but failing . I placed the plates on the coffee table along with the drinks. I then went to help her sit up but the stubborn girl tried to push me away. “ Do you want to eat? Or should I leave

    Chapter 4 Baluthando I was getting very annoyed right now. What was taking the ambulance so long? I seriously didn't want to stand one more second listening to this guy. He had the guts to think I'm a girl! That shit needs to stop! If only I could feel my legs and see! I would kick the living day lights out of him. Then he'd know better than to just insult royalty for his personal gain. “ Seeing that we're gonna stay here together for a while would you mind telling me how you got to the woods? Plus the blindness and cripple thing. Don't leave the being girl now part out. ” Is this guy serious?! Lord! If you could just give me my sight and only my left leg I would have killed this asshole now. “ Will you shut up! I've had enough of your voice. Please!” “ Heard enough of my voice? Now that's a new one. I'm usually the one who gets enough of the others' voices. Not too bad for a girl.” I am literally shaking from the inside right now. The anger this guy is giving me right now!

    Chapter 3Molitha I woke up feeling like a truck hit me. I really wasn't in the mood or the right mind to fight or talk to anyone right now. Who was I even kidding? No one talks to me. So this grumpy mood of mine is for myself and I. Might as well go for a run to at least get this bad mood out of my system before work. God knows if I do one more thing to get Mr Smith angry he's gonna fire me for sure. And the mood I'm having right now won't do any favours for me. I didn't bother to change from the clothes I now had just noticed I slept with. I blame that fucking ‘family meeting’ it's the one that's causing me to get so angry early in the morning now! Moli breathe. Getting worked up won't help you now. A run will. I'm totally messed up. I have to calm to myself to calm myself down. The hell is that! I put my earphones started jogging outside. About a mile away from the house I started to come back but as I reached the Tercab woods just close to my house I saw somet

    Chapter 2 Molitha I arrived home. Collapsed on the bed. What the heck did I do?! One night with the prince? Am I crazy?! Not only will that not happen but I'd be thrown to the hangers if the king or anyone else other than the family heard me say such a thing. Being gay in this kingdom is a serious offense. An offense that will be treated as if it were treason. We live in the twenty first century where anything is possible. Anyone can love anyone but not here. No such a thing will be found here. We are like dark ages except modern. What would I even do with the prince the whole night? Ugh! Moli! Why can't you just live through the grudge? Because I can't! I want to see those people suffer like they made me suffer. So declaring that you won't be part of your sister's wedding till you get one night with the prince is revenge? Yes! Because they'll never agree to it. Oh yeah? The same parents who do everything in they're power to get what they want are t

    Chapter 1 Molitha I got to the house. For some reason there was a family meeting that was called. Which surprisingly they added me as well. You see my family and I don't get along much. I stay at my own house and they stay at theirs. I felt nothing for the house that I once called home. The house that once was home. But now it just feels like a holder of all the bad memories of my life. All the memories I have tried so hard to suppress. Here I am now at same place I hate the most. "You made it" I looked up to see Celiwe,my little sister. She ran to me. I opened my arms for her. The hug was brief but it had all the emotions that we were feeling. I last saw her when she was sixteen now at eighteen she looks so grown and all woman. I almost didn't recognize her. "Do you know how much I missed you!" She screamed still clinging onto my jacket. "You know where my house is. "I replied with an emotionless voice. Even with her I knew I couldn't be free to talk as I p

When I love ZeusI was in my throne room attempting to drink my second glass of gkive( a strong dosage of alcohol that can be also described as whiskey but stronger) I wanted to just get get drunk already. I had no one. Arrow also had the responsibility of taking care his daughter not that he couldn't let the servants do it but I understand him. He just lost his wife and all he had left of her was their daughter. I wish at least my case was the same. I could have someone to kill the boredom with but I have no one. Just as I was going for a sip the throne room doors were opened by a guard. I stared at him waiting for explanation of the disturbance. “Your highness the queen has returned.”My head jerked up when my eyes connected with blue ones. Ones that I knew as Eva's. She wasn't the only one that surprised me with though. The baby in her arms also surprised the alcohol out of me. I stood up, looking at her. She only gave me a grim look. “Eva?”“No Evangeline now.” She correc

And what were those loud shouts?I pulled a servant out. “What the hell is happening?” I asked her. “ Um... mistress is in labour.” She answered. “I said tell me what hell is happening?! Don't fucking joke with things like that!”“Sire she is in your bed chambers this minute with the midwives.” What was she saying? “What?” I rushed to the stairs racing like my life depended on it. To my room where the shouts and screams were coming from. I pushed the door open. To see the shock of my life. My wife was truly giving birth. She was lying on the bed. Screaming at the top of her lungs as she kept on being told to push. “Lorinda.”“Arrow?” she gasped out. I didn't understand. How come I never knew my own wife was pregnant? She didn't show any signs of it. She had no baby bump in fact I don't even remember her mentioning any sicknesses. I was about to approach her but the midwives pushed me
