Chapter 19

The last few days has been how should I put it, Torture, The prince, Charles have been on my nerves, He manage to find out the location of my house and as been coming almost every day to see me and it's not like I invited him or anything, I could already start hearing gossips about us saying I was his lover, Frequently try coming close to him, There were so many rude comment about us well especially me and it just makes me sick, People were just been cruel and heartless, saying what they didn't see, but I was glad because of one thing , I secretly liked how they spread rumors about me and prince Charles because I was sure that it would get to James hearing and he would think that it was actually true, And that would make him what to stay far away from me,I think it was the best...

The prince didn't care what anybody think and wouldn't leave me alone for one second which was always irritating, I think he actually really likes me but I really don't like him at all and I would never be able to cause even if I had denied it so many times, The truth why I just can't like the prince back was because I was still in love with James even if I had rebuke him so many times...

I was currently washing the dishes outside not because the old woman told me to but because I wanted to...

The old woman wanted me to rest and even pleaded for me not to that I needed to rest and take care of myself and my unborn child but the truth was I was sick and tired of resting and doing absolutely nothing, I needed to work and get my bones working...As I was washing the plate, suddenly I could feel someone arms wrapped around my waist and I screamed out of fear, I quickly turned around to see who it was ready to give a resounding slap to the person and it was no other than the prince and my blood boiled,...

"How dare you, Who gave you the right to touch me" I said and I could see the sad expression written on his face...

"Am... am sorry, I didn't know that you wouldn't...

"It's okay, Am sorry to for overreacting..., I realized that I had just hurt him and I couldn't keep on playing with his feelings like that cause I knew that he loves me , I couldn't keep up with this and I needed to tell him the truth that there was never going to be a "Us" cause I was in love and pregnant with someone else child even though he has hurt me so much...

"Look I need to tell you something" I said looking at him straight into his brown eyes...

Am pregnant, I said and I could see his eyes widening...

I told him the truth about me and about everything except for mentioning that the person that actually hurt me was James, who he considered his friend and what my real name actually was...and all he could say was he understand but asked me about who the man was and I told him that I didn't wanted to talk about him with tears in my eyes and he wiped my tears saying he was alright...

"But I still refer calling you Isabelle,he said...

"And if that scoundrel ever shows up to ask for forgiveness or troubles you, I would personally break all the bones in his body, he said and I couldn't help but to laugh...

*JAMES P.O.V*

I walked anxiously to Alexa's house cause I had wanted to talk to her and ask for forgiveness, I was not going to ever stop asking her to forgive me until she does, I had got the location of her house from a few kind maiden, But this time I was going to ask her for one last time and if she refuses, I was going to leave accepting that I have lost my Alexa for good, I slowly walked to her house nervously and as I approached the house, I could see Alexa or should I say Isabelle laughing with no other person than the prince, They seem to be getting along pretty well and I guess she must have finally moved on, I had heard rumors about them been together and I guess that it was actually true ... She looks happy with Charles and I guess that I was too late, I watched them with tears in my eyes, he was talking and she was laughing and she hugged him, I guess that I had finally lost my Alexa to Charles, I couldn't bare seeing then together so I was going to leave not only away from this kingdom but out of Alexa's life for good....

*ALEXA P.OV*

I hugged the prince cause what he said was so funny, We spend a little more time together until he said he was leaving and I waved him goodbye, Am so glad that things was not odd between us anymore and he understood me now..Thank goodness....

*JAMES P.O.V*

it's night time and I had planned on leaving the next morning, I was with the prince cause I had told him I was leaving and he invited me over to spend one last night with his best friend, he had really considered me his friend when deep down I was jealous of him and had envy him for stealing Alexa away from me...

I had decided on knowing the truth from him if he actually loved Alexa In order for me to be sure...

"I want to say something, I said looking at him then at nowhere in particular feeling nervous..

"It's okay, say it, he said beaming...

"Do you like Isabelle" I said studying him

"Why are you asking, but if really want to know then of course I like her, he said still smiling...and I could feel my heart shattering...

"Do...do you love her" I asked...

"Is this some kind of question and answer thing what, I don't understand, he said now looking confused..

"Please just answer me, I said pleading...

"Well that's a big question but if you insists on me telling you then I do love her so much, I always want to see a smile on her face and I think I would make her mine as soon as she let go of that pain in her heart and forget that idiot for good, he said not knowing that I was that idiot...

"I mean how could anyone do something so horrible to her, he deserves no mercy, he added and I could feel tears slowly gathering in my eyes, he was right, he deserves Alexa more than me, I could see he truly loves her and I guess he was going to take better care of her

"I think I should go, it really late, Thank you for everything, I said standing up and leaving without waiting for a reply...

*CHARLES P.O.V*

I watched as James stood up and left ,he was really very strange, he never spoke that much nor never attended Any parties, He looks lonely like he has lost his heart forever, he was broken and it was really sad seeing him like that, I pray that he would reunite with his love...

*ALEXA P.O.V*

I woke up the next day feeling happy, I had finally settled the problem I had with Charles and now he understands me... I wanted to go outside and feel the cold breeze and play in the field cause I was extremely happy, I had told the old woman that I wanted to go to the nearby stream to fetch water cause I wanted to but she wouldn't let me and cause she was worried about me,she was really like a mother to me and it took me along time before I could finally convince her to let me go, she would have easily agreed in letting me go if Hermia was here but Hermia had gone to the neighbouring kingdom for study and wouldn't be back until a year to come, I was sad about that, even the old woman was but she needed to go it was for the best, After all it was her studies...

Any way the old woman finally agreed on letting me go after strictly telling me to take care of myself and my child, I assured her and happily went taking my little pail with me...

I was already in the stream happily fetching water humming, when I suddenly felt a presence there and it seems to be coming closer, I had thought I probably was Charles who had maybe wanted to scare me but the presence keeps coming closer and closer...

"Quit it Charles, you are not going to fool me this time" I said without looking back happily fetching my water but the reply I received shocked me and My heart sank...
