All Chapters of Caught In-between : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

RHEA'S POVWith a racing heart and shaking legs, I ran out of the restaurant. I got to the car and pulled the handle of the passenger's door, but it didn't budge. The street got more crowdy and tears rolled down my cheeks as I continue to pull on the door handle."Rhea," Estefan called from behind me before he came to the front of the car and pressed the car key. I wasted no time rushing inside the car when the door opened. Leaning into the chair, my chest heaved up and down as I tried to get oxygen back into my burning chest."Calm down." Estefan got into the car and gave me an open bottle of water. "Drink this." Lifting the bottle to my mouth, I didn't stop until I drank half of the water. My breathing became regular but tears continued to roll down my cheeks. He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back. "It's okay. I'm right here." "Can we not do this again? Please." I looked up at him with my tear-streaked face. "Rhea..." He started but I cut him off."Please, I don't thi

RHEA'S POVIf someone told me before that I would be able to walk amid a crowd without freaking out, I would have called them crazy and laughed in their face. But thanks to Estefan for making something I had deemed impossible in my life possible. Estefan and I had been spending most of our time strolling out of the palace building and I had to admit that it was an amazing experience for me. Just to be clear, I still haven't gotten over my fear completely. I was at the stage where I could go out in the crowd with someone who I trust next to me. I knew the time would come when I would have to face it alone because Estefan won't always be by my side. When the time comes, I would make sure I would be strong enough to overcome it."The plane is ready, let's go," Estefan said as he walked into the room. My interview in London was to take place the following day, so Estefan and I were getting ready to leave. He had informed Kimberly beforehand that he would be on the set with me which she

RHEA'S POVBeads of sweat formed on my forehead as the car moved closer to the school building. My mind was split between jumping out of the car and going to the interview but when Estefan placed his hand on mine, my wrecking nerve slowly calmed down. He stopped the car in front of Maryland Art and Creativity school and turned to me with his hand still on mine. "You have gone through a lot to get here and you are now in the final stage, there's no point giving up now. I will be by your side the entire time, so I want you to walk in there and do the interview with your head up high, okay?" "Okay." I nodded. He stepped out of the car and came to open the door for me. I climbed down from the car and gazed up at the tall creamed-coloured concrete building in front of me. Taking my hand in his, we strode through the main entrance where some corporately dressed group of people were waiting for us. "Welcome, Your Highness." They bowed their head in unison. Estefan nodded at them while I

RHEA'S POV The day after the interview, Estefan and I packed our things to go back to Spain. He tried to convince me, so we could stay a bit longer but I insisted on leaving. Since we got to London, he has been giving me mixed signals. Sometimes, he acted as if he sincerely loved and cared about me, and at times, his words made me believe that he couldn't wait to get rid of me. But I was certain that he wanted to stay back because of Leah which pissed me off every time I thought about it. He should wait until we are divorced, so he could see Leah whenever he wanted.We arrived at an empty palace. Empty in the sense that our family were not home. Without wasting time, I went to our room and brought out my laptop from my bag. Estefan followed me in silence and leaned against the door.His eyes followed my every move but I ignored him and sat on the bed placing my laptop in front of me. He came to sit opposite me behind the laptop."What are you doing?" He asked."Writing," I replied w

RHEA'S POVThat Friday morning, the Royal family left the palace to the airport to board the private plane to London for the launching ceremony that was taking place in my dad's company the following day, but Esmeralda was going to be staying back to resume the first semester in college.Everyone seems excited about the ceremony except me because the end of the launching ceremony marks the end of my title as a princess of Spain. I tried to make it easy for myself by avoiding Estefan throughout the week. I knew he was looking for a way to talk to me and I had a feeling he wanted to tell me the truth about why he married me. Hearing the truth from him would break my heart more, so I wanted to avoid it as much as I could.We all stepped into the plane and I took a seat that was farther from everyone else. I noticed Estefan approaching me, so I put on my headphones to drown out whatever he was going to say, that way he would leave me alone.In two hours, we landed in London and lodged in
