Conscience Versus Heart

The cold water droplets pelted Abbie's body. Her head was lowered as her two hands covered her face in its entirety.

'I was almost tempted to agree to his proposal!' Abbie wanted to bang her head against the wall out of embarrassment. 'How can you say no to that face?'

Abbie knew that her face was blushing right now. Even the cold water wasn't able to stop the burning sensation she felt in her cheeks. She could still vividly remember Alex's expression when he said the words "I'm perfectly legal. You won't get in jail if you make love with me."

"Damn, that look was pure criminal," Abbie muttered as she forcefully massaged her face using her hands. While deep in thought, she could have sworn that there were two little mini Abbie's flying over her shoulders and whispering words in her ears.

The mini Abbie wearing a red dress with a pair of devil wings flapping behind her back whispered words of temptation in her ears. "What are you waiting for? Pin that hunk down and Jam it in! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't you dare miss it!

"My goodness! How barbaric! You can't just Jam it in!" The other mini Abbie, wearing white clothes with a pair of angel wings behind her back, admonished the devil Abbie. "Abbie, pull yourself together. That's Alex! Your little Alex! Even though he's legal, you can't do it!"

"Hmph! Why can't she do it?" The devil Abbie asked in a challenging tone. "Both of them are of legal age and it's consensual!"

"No means no! Don't you dare taint my innocent Alex!"

"Heh! The little Alex is innocent, that much I agree on. However, the current Alex is hell-bent on being intimate with her! Go back to where you came from and just enjoy the show!"

While the two mini Abbie's were duking it out, Abbie was still feeling flustered. Her conscience was telling her that she must not do it. But, her heart, and body, were raring to give it a go!

Right now, she was torn. She didn't know whether she should advance or retreat. If she advanced then her relationship with Alex would change and she would no longer be able to recognize him as anything but her lover. Just imagining herself going out on a date with Alex in his eight-year-old form made Abbie shudder.

Abbie already checked how much the growth potion cost and she even considered buying the potion so Alex and her could go out on a date. However, since she didn't know how to earn points in the game, she had to put the plan on hold.

On the other hand, if she refused Alex's advances, their relationship would be the same as before. The additional description in the growth potion stated.

"The one who used the potion wouldn't remember anything that happened during the duration of its effects."

That meant that no matter what the grown up Alex did, the Little Alex wouldn't remember anything!

"Right! Little Alex wouldn't remember anything!" The devil Abbie patted Abbie's cheeks and tempted her again. "Why don't you have a taste? This is a limited time offer, and the best part is that it's FREE!"

"Shut up you stupid devil! Don't you have any conscience?!" The angel Abbie started to become anxious. "Abbie, don't listen to her! In a relationship, it is important to take things step by step. Although I admit that the current Alex is drop-dead-gorgeous. I also admit that I want to make love to him and shower him with kisses. However, what about Little Alex's feelings? Doing it like this behind his back is just…"

Abbie listened to her conscience and her heart. Ultimately, the choice was up to her. She decided to put things on hold for now and concentrated on the task at hand. She bathed and scrubbed herself squeaky clean. Alex and her would be dining with Alice and Aiden and she didn't want to keep the two of them waiting.

Hannah received Sarah's reply on her Wi-Chat and clicked on the link that her personal maid sent her. She was directed to the royal announcement of X-Country. She almost dropped her phone after reading the first few lines of the announcement.

"He's a Crown Prince?!" Hannah exclaimed as she checked the authenticity of the announcement. After verifying that the website was the official homepage of X-Country the beautiful girl bit her lip in frustration.

She wanted to use her money and influence to "buy" Alex and make him her lover. However, seeing that her target was an actual real Prince of a real country, she found her idea laughable. How could she possibly use her money to buy the next ruler of the country?

Hannah took deep breaths to organize her thoughts. Suddenly a malicious glint flashed briefly in her eyes. A plan was forming inside her head.

"He said she was his fiance, right?" Hannah muttered. A sinister smile appeared on her face as she went to the comment section. She already read a few of them and laughed at the girls who said that they want to marry Alex. Hannah had no intention of backing down. Instead, her desire to make Alex hers intensified.

"The only one worthy of a prince is me," Hannah said as she typed something in the comment section. "The rest of you are not qualified!"

-----

In the comment section...

"Did you know that Prince Alex has a fiance?"

"Huh?! He has a fiance?!"

"Who's that b*tch?! My Alex only belongs to me!"

"Stop spouting nonsense! The Prince belongs to me!"

"The two of you shut up! Miss H, you said that Prince Alex has a fiance right?"

"Yes."

"Is this news true?"

"Of course. I heard it from the prince itself so the information is authentic."

"Who?! Just who is that b*tch who dares to lay her filthy hands on my Prince?!"

"Hey! That's our prince!"

"+1 to the commenter above!"

"+2 to the commenter above!"

A series of agreements flooded the screen and Hannah laughed at the growing hate comments that she was reading. She fanned the flames and the result surpassed her expectations.

"Ms. H! Tell us her name now!"

"Tell us! I'll rip that b*tch to shreds!"

"Alright. I'll tell you her name. Do you want only her first name or her full name?"

"Full name!"

"Full name please!"

"Very well since all of you are interested then I will tell you."

"Yes! Tell us!"

"What's her name?:

The sinister smile on Hannah's face grew wider as she typed her answer in the comment section. She even added a picture so that the haters would be able to recognize the fiance of the Crown Prince.

"The name of the Prince's fiance is…Abbie Matthews."
