Prince Mathew

I couldn’t even close my eyes even for a second,Overwhelmed by what I have done to Viola and how I betrayed my best friend's trust by sleeping with his daughter.

And even more,thinking of her last words before going into deep sleep‘do you believe in love from the first sight?’

I couldn’t think at all!I just wanted to erase all what happened and end it as soon as she woke up immediately.

Even though her angelic face while sleeping in between my arms made me think why I didn’t fall in love before and why I feel comfortable with Viola sleeping next to me?!

Yes,I hated sleeping next to any woman before.I was too practical to even at sex…Two mature people please and satisfy each other in bed then goodbye sees you later.Or even never see each other again.That wasn’t a problem at all.

But the problem there,do I really want to not see Viola again?And even though if I did,could our destiny make it happen?

She was my best friend and my partner's daughter so for sure someday our paths will collide once again sooner or later that would happen.

While I was zoning out with my mind,my cell phone rang and I grabbed it instantly to not disturb Viola deep sleeping.

But I jolted when I spotted who was calling me.fuck!It was Alex!I totally forgot to call him.

I dragged my feet away to the balcony to answer the call away from Viola“yes,Alex.”I tried to not tremble.

“Hey,Mathew.Is everything okay?”he asked worriedly.

“Oh yes!Sure…why?”I asked Viola while sleeping naked with her hot body.Fuck!My dick aroused once again.I sighed and snapped to myself to come back to my senses.

“Mathew,have you met Viola?Why didn’t you call me?”Alex asked.

I gulped nervously“oh yeah.And she is sleeping now.Don’t worry.Everything was solved.She didn’t do anything wrong at all.there was a gay actually who…”I was explaining but Alex cut me off.

“we will talk later about her,not on the phone.But I wanted to thank you for taking care of Viola.I hope she didn’t interrupt your relaxation.”Alex said sincerely.

I wanted to tell him I’m the one who should apologize but I couldn’t say it.

I blurted out“not at all.listen,Alex…I want to ask you something about Viola.She is 18 years old.How did you…”I didn’t know how to form my question but I guess he guessed the rest.

He sighed in depression“I was 14 years old and her mother was the same as me.”he replied.

“then it explains why you and her mother didn’t look after her and send her away.To be honest I’m shocked!I didn’t even think of you that you could leave your own daughter in a place like a prison since she was two years old.Who are you?”I said annoyed with too much accusation in my tone.

“don’t Mathew!Don’t think of me like Viola.She thinks that I hate her but she knows nothing actually.Well,at least I should talk to you about this.I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you earlier.”He sighed.

I scoffed“sorry!You should say that word to your innocent daughter!”

“Mathew!I tried to explain to her several times.But she didn’t get it.Her mother and I were deeply in love.She was perfectly rich and we decided to face my parents and her parents.They tried to separate us.That’s why we intended to go further to make her get pregnant and yes it happened.But we didn’t think of the circumstances.She died while she was giving birth to Viola.And since that time I couldn’t be a real father to her because I wanted to be able to get her everything she needs.And I couldn’t see her all that time because every time I see her I do remember her mother and feel like I killed her.”He explained with a broken tone in his voice suppressing tears.But I heard him sobbing.

I cut off him,I didn’t want to make him suffer more“I got it Alex.Don’t worry about Viola.I will make sure to take care of her.I will try to explain everything to her and she is a smart girl.I know that she will get it eventually.She just needs more time like you.”

“thank you,Mathew.I should go now.I do have a meeting.Call me anytime.”

And he hung up and I just stood in my place and couldn't know what I should do.I should be by her side and by my best friend's side as well but at the same time,if I get involved much more in that girl life,that could end badly or deadly.She faced enough in her life.

I spotted her tossing in the bed and yawning,she moved her hand next to her searching for me.I stepped closer staring at her__waiting for her to adjust her body.

Her eyes found me,she smiled“oh you are awake?”

I said boldly“we need to talk.”

She cleared her throat“What is it?”

“I can’t do it anymore!We can’t be together.”I said without even blinking in a serious tone as if there won’t be coming back from that decision.

But I guess I was harsh and tough and the one who will regret it later was going to be only me.
