Kethra's payback (2)

"How do I do that?" Draxan asked desperate to do whatever it takes to be the only one that is special to Ariadne.

Stuck in his head with all the emotions flowing through him, he failed to see that he was being played in that moment. His blind faith in his friend didn't push him to question her closeness to him.

Ariadne let the guests settle down anf went in search of her husband. She wished to have a word with him about what being her second hand meant. For his first day of work he was faillimg miserably by slacking off work.

She asked around for anyone who had seen him. When she learned that he had done with Kethra towards the direction of her room.

She turned the direction of her entourage and walked towards her half sisters room. She twisted her fingers in hope that he wasn't doing anything that would make her lose faith in him.

For some reason seeing him standing quietly as she was being bad mouthed by her sister didn't settle well with her. She expected him to defend her against her sister and prove that he was on her side.

She didn't want to judge him based on that incident. On many occasions in the past she too had stood helpless before the scam of her sister unable to refute her. But that was long ago, she had learnt to not let her hurt her.

So she also wanted to talk about that and understand why he just stood silently there. His behavior hinted that he cared about her a great deal and she didn't want him to stop.

It meant a great deal to her that she had someone like him. A friend and a close confidant with whom she could share a part of her that she never shows the world. It was her dream to have that.

"You have to make her jealous, if she feels that she can lose you then she would fight to her last breath for you," Kethra advised to him.

Draxan was confused. He didn't think that he could trust her with the matters of the heart of the princess. But fear crawled through him thinking of the outcome that she predicted.

It was a possibility that might be unavoidable since he was just a man. "So you are saying that I should find a woman and pretend that I liked them right?" He questioned to make sure he understood her well.

Princess Ariadne nearest the room, her heartbeat quicken thinking of seeing Draxan. The thought of him always seemed to make her heart skip a beat, she felt light light as a feather getting close to seeing him again.

She put her finger on her lips telling the page not to announce her arrival. She wanted to be as a surprise to him. She had never anything like that before, try to give someone a surprise but with him she felt like doing it.

As he mentioned she still owed him four more kisses for the day. Holding hands, having meals together and much more. Her cheeks flushed a bright red color as she imagined all of it, she didn't find it bad.

She was actually looking forward to it. She stopped in front of the door, she placed her hand on top of her heart. "Racing heart, red cheeks,smiling none stop on thing of him. Looking forward to meeting him and being with him, have I fallen in love with him?" She asked her heart jumping happily as she realised the truth.

In the few days that she spent with Draxan she had started to fall in love with him. "Draxan he...no, I mean Drax," she said recalling he asked her to call him Drax. "He has won over my heart," she admitted.

She opened the door slowly not to alert them. She wanted to surprise her husband. Her feet froze rooted to the ground seeing the position he stood with Kethra.

Kethra had a clear sight of the door from where she stood, seeing her enemy right there she smiled. "Like this," her voice sounded. Her lips immediately fell on his, brushing against his lips before licking and hitting at them.

"Drax," Ariadne let out. She couldn't feel anything in her body after watching the two of them. She felt on top of the world a minute ago but right then she felt like she has been thrown into the depths of despair.

Draxan broke the kiss and turned around. His heart shattered seeing the princess there, two hearts broke in that moment.

"That's what you get for putting me on house arrest," Kethra whispered.

With how close Draxan stood to her. He was able to hear every word she said. He met her gaze filled with disbelief of what she did. Realizing his mistake, he could only clench his hand into a fist.
