Chapter 11

*JAMES P.O.V*

it was the D-Day, The day has finally came, The day of my so called wedding to a beast I called a princess, If any one would tell me that princess Stephanie would be so cruel and heartless, I obviously wouldn't believe it , I needed to bring Alexa and my unborn child back safely to the kingdom without and I didn't know where to find her , I had hurt her so much, l didn't even believe her, and didn't listen to her plea , I had listen to my so called mind and not to my heart, I don't think she would ever forgive me for this but I would try and if I fortunately found her, I wouldn't leave until she has forgiven me and agree with me to come back to the kingdom....

I laid down on my bed heartbroken about my cruel act, how could I have banished her out of my life and kingdom, indeed when a person is angry, They are not in their right state of mind , I needed to get my Alexa back, I needed to get my life back and she was my life and all I needed...Maid or not maid, I was in love with her and.i wouldn't let her suffer for a crime she didn't commit, I knew what I needed to do...

*JAMES P.O.V*

it was the day of the prince marriage and I could see the wicked princess, Stephanie bubbling, Been excited by her own wedding not for once feeling regret for what she had done and it made me wonder how wealth can take a person that far and makes a person becoming a beast, Doing what would have never be done in a million years... I gritted my teeth and clench my fist, The sight of her just makes me sick, I hate her so much and really prayed to see her cry...

The wedding wasn't scheduled for the evening but rather now, it was going to be a quick wedding as instructed by Stephanie who feared that something might so wrong or maybe she feared that Alexa might just come back and expose her, ruining her wedding... Anyway Stephanie was already standing at the altar with the same massive number of guest present, I could see that some just came in order to watch the epic final conclusion to see whether the prince would actually get married to Stephanie.... The king stood on the altar too, smiling and holding hands with his evil daughter Stephanie who was grinning, The king was smiling and that just makes me sick, he was supporting his daughter who was also lying to him, I wish he too knew the truth then he wouldn't be smiling but rather it would be the complete opposite....The priest was already there too waiting to start the procedures and the only one that wasn't there was the prince, He was missing and was the one that was keeping the marriage on hold... I just wish he would escape without being caught but why would he be caught,I had shown him a secret tunnel for him to escape Scot free, But I couldn't help but to worry, I just want everything to be right,I wanted him to go and look for Alexa, His lover and bring her back safely... I stood on the midst of the congregation, fiddling with my hands eventually deciding that if the prince didn't succeed or was been caught while escaping...I wouldn't sit back and do nothing, I was going to go after Alexa myself and bring her back safely, I wasn't going to sit back doing nothing, But I preferred it was going to be the prince that would go out and look for Alexa in order for Alexa to be able to forgive him...All this thoughts kept running to my brain and clouding it, making my heartache , I could see Stephanie looking all worried and telling her father something and was about to leave, I realized she told her father that she was going to check after the prince to see if everything was alright and if he was already ready and my heart skipped, what if the prince has not yet fled and she catches him in the act, it was going to be disastrous and everything would be over.... Slowly she came down from the altar with a worried look on her face trying to head towards the prince's room when suddenly a maid came , her face expression looks blank and I feared greatly what she wanted to say and what was going to happen...

She had on her hand a piece of paper like a note and the recording on the other and I immediately realized she was sent by the prince but why did he send her to meet the king and princess and also with the recordings too, What was he up to, he was only suppose to run away that all, So what was all this, what was going on....

I wondered greatly as the maid approached the princess and king with the princess quickly collecting the letter from the maid's hand and reading with aloud with her voice shaking out of fear... And I realized what the note was, The note was from the prince, He wrote in his letter that he has run away to bring back his life Alexa that he would never be able to marry a witch like Stephanie, I could see Stephanie eyes widening , She was shocked and I was immensely happy, Wow the prince could actually do something right for once...

He also wrote that he had gone to bring her because he had found out the truth about Stephanie being the real culprit, That the tape would explain even that when he comes back home, it would be with his only queen ...."Alexa",That was the end of the letter and I could see Stephanie shocked and angry which made me grin, I was enjoying ever part of her misery and I just wish that she would make my day by collapsing....

*STEPHANIE P.O.V*

I ended the letter with the note falling from my hand,I was surprised, How could he have possibly found out the truth, No, it can't be true, he can't run off to bring back that stupid maid and abandon me on my own wedding day, he just made a mockery of me, he has just embarrassed me in the presence of a million guest, I could feel my blood boiling...

"It a lie, this isn't true" I said breaking the tape , I could see the king was devastated and I too...I looked at him and could he have believed what the prince wrote, if he he did then am done for and all my plans would flop, No I needed to convince him...

"It a lie dad, All this is a plot, A scheme! that the maid created and the brainless prince fell for it, You see this is why I wanted her dead, But no the prince didn't want that and you agreed with him, You see dad , you see what she has done ,she has completely ruined my life and made a mockery of me, Even after been banished, she still wanted to try her luck and she did manage to get what she wanted, she managed to get the prince, my husband under her trap and he blindly believed her and has gone to look for her" l could see my dad was still not fully convinced with my lies and I needed to up game fast or else I would lose him and his support like I had lost the prince's, So I broke down crying in order to gain his sympathy and believe me...

"Only God knows where the prince is and if he is in good condition I said crying and I could see my dad buying it

"It's okay we would find him, and the girl too and I would make her pay, she would be beheaded and that would be the end of the matter...He said and I secretly smiled..

"No dad, You don't need to send a million guards to bring them back, I would go by myself..I would...

"No Stephanie it is too dangerous..

"No dad please respect my decision... I said and I could see that he has accepted... I Wouldn't spare Alexa,I would personally kill her and punish James before I marry him, I could make both of them pay dearly for what they have done to me, Firstly I would start with the maid who the prince gave the letter to...

"And you, How could you let this happen, I said frustrated looking at the maid and slapping her

"Am sorry my princess, it was the prince orders and I am instructed to obey everything he tells me to do" She said breaking down tearing up...

"Sorry my foot, How dare you tell me that rubbish, Well I guess I should have expected it, You maids are so pathetic and useless ...

"Guards!" I said and I could see them approaching "Take this foolish maid and lock her in the dungeon ...

"No my princess, this is not fair,this is not right,This is injustice, You would reap your actions sooner or later, No my princess, Please don't do this to me...No" She said tearing up as the guards drags her away and my blood boils..

"How dare you speak to me like that, How dare you, Guards I want you to see to it that she is neither given food or water in the dungeon, let her rot in there " I said angrily, The prince couldn't have just gone in search for Alexa like that, Someone must have told him, someone was helping him and I am going to find out

"JACK P.O.V*

I sadly looked at how the maid was talking away and all everybody did was to stand there watching, Such injustice and no one could do a thing, Even I couldn't do anything nor could I say anything cause I feared that I might just receive the same fate as the maid if I dare spoke or say anything.... I clench my fist because I was hopeless watching the impartiality, I was also scared and I feared my life because if they ever found out that it was me that gave the recordings to the prince and encouraged the prince to run away then I was going to be done for , Absolutely finish, All I could do was to pray that I didn't get caught and the prince finds Alexa safe and sound....

*BACK TO JAMES P.O.V*

I escaped from the palace and am glad that I wasn't caught, I knew very well the chaos I would have caused in the palace by now as a result of my letters, I wish I could see the princess face when she reads it, she would have been heartbroken and I would have loved every part of it.. I rode on my horse far away from the palace cause I knew that they would want to look for me and bring me back but I was never going to let that happen, I wouldn't rest until I have found my love back in good condition... Only God knows where she is an d what kind of condition that she was in, She must be deeply hurt and heartbroken and I caused it, I am sorry Alexa , am so sorry, I would never let this happen again, I just want you to be safe and sound, I would never forgive myself if anything happens to her or if she had done anything bad to harm herself, My life would be completely over if that happens and I wouldn't have a choice but to result to killing myself too cause I can't live without her, I could feel tears in my eyes and I couldn't help but to feel guilty, until I have found her, I would never get rid of this guilt ...

I would search day and night for her and I wouldn't stop until I have found her, I swear...This was my promise, I rode in my horse with tears in my eyes and a broken heart
