Chapter 23

It's okay,he convinced her.

Your not getting married okay,he said and she stopped and looked at him.

I am not,she said and he shook his head.

Get well okay,i am not leaving you okay,he said and she nodded while he wiped the tears on her face.

No need to cry,everything is okay,he said rubbing her head and she slept back.

He looked at her face and felt like crying as he took himself as the cause of what happened to her,he didn't leave her as he was with her till he fell asleep while holding her hand.

****in the kitchen.

Are you done with the soup,the queen asked.

Yes my queen,the chef said.

Place it in the plate,i am going to give lilo,she said and the chef put the soup in a bowl.

She took the bowl of soup to lilo's room by herself and as she opened the door she saw ethan holding lilo's hand while placing his head on the bed,she got angry and yelled forgetting lilo was sick.

What are you doing here?,she yelled making lilo and ethan wake up.

Why are you holding my daughter's hand?,she yelled.

What exactly are you trying to do?,she added and ethan removed his hand from lilo's hand and she looked at him.

Mom please,lilo said gently.

Answer me why are you with my daughter,she kept on shouting coming close to them.

Please mom,lilo said gently.

You selfish thief,she said and slapped ethan.

What the hell mom,lilo yelled at her mom and her mom was shocked.

lilo left the bed and ran to ethan to see if he was fine.

Are you okay?,she asked him.

Mon what is your problem,she yelled at her.

What have you done to my daughter,she pointed at ethan.

He did nothing to me mom,lilo said.

Why are you defending him,alaya asked lilo and she was quiet.

Answer me,alaya yelled.

Because i am in love with him,lilo yelled back,it was as if the sickness left her the moment her mom slapped ethan.

What?,she asked.

i am in love with him okay,i don't want to get married to kaylen,i want ethan,she said holding his hand.

Are you insane,your wedding is this weekend and you are saying this,i can tell the sickness is messing with your brain,she said.

Am not joking,lilo said.

And i won't get married to anyone except ethan,she added.

If you won't agree to that,i will leave the palace and go to a far away land where you won't find me and i promise you that,she said.

You won't dare,alaya said.

You know i always keep to my word and i will follow it,she said.

You have no idea what you are saying,i will get the king,alaya said and was about to leave when lilo said"sure get your husband so he can back you up,lilo said.
