CHAPTER -11( a hidden desire that only pretend to hide)

Jordan entered into his chember carrying Evelina on his lap. Evelina is still silently flowing her tears, sinking her face into Jordan's flat chest.

Jordan came towards the bed to lay her down but Evelina refused to get down from his lap. So he sat on the bed holding her in his arm.

"Now, tell me Eve.....who made you cry."Jordan swiped her tears.

Evelina couldn't tell him the truth as she doesn't want to break his delicate heart.

"I'll tell you later....I can't tell you now. I'm not crying anymore...you can just relax."Evelina sat properly on the bed leaving Jordan's embrace.

"Okay....i won't force you now.But please make sure to tell me later. I'm worried." Jordan gently removed some hair from her forehead and kissed on her cheek.

"I'll tell you.... don't worry. It's not that serious though."Evelina tried to smile.

"Okh...you take some rest. I'll go first." Jordan stood up but Evelina held his hands to stop him from going.

"Ahh...wait . Where're you going?"Evelina looked at him.

"Have you forgotten? It's almost evening. I'm going to Andreas place. He's going to teach me about some chapters of a political book."Jordan said.

"But I've taught you that already."Evelina said.

"No, it's another one. About Imperialism. And I should practice more and more. Then you'll be happy." Jordan began to walk.

"Wait...I have something to tell you." Evelina took a deep breath .

Jordan again came back and sat on the bed.

"Tell me ,my Eve....what happened?"Jordan smiled.

"Actually..."

"Why you're hesitating!! Please feel free to share anything with me.... Don't treat me as a stranger.."

"Well.... don't you think it's time for you to have a baby."Evelina bit her lips while talking.

Jordan smiled with a blush...

" So finally you've agreed. I was insisting on you so many times....and now you're asking on your own.... So....If you're ready then I don't have any problem. You always teased me that I'm not capable to handle this..... Now I'm glad , you've understood that a Royal family never consider ages.... besides I'm not that young you see.. "Jordan touched her cheek.

"No... you're mistaken. I'm not talking about me. Why don't you accept any of those Consorts...they might help you in this matter."Evelina said.

"Are you kidding me?"Jordan laughed.

"No... I'm not. ...I don't want to have a baby. I mean I need a baby. But not from my womb. You've to accept another woman please...."Evelina touched his hand and tried to convince him.

"If you don't want to give birth, then we won't have any baby..... No need for a baby now.....We have a lot of time ahead... We'll wait until you're ready. Don't stress yourself." Jordan pat on her head.

"No I need a baby now.... I don't want to wait!"Evelina stubbornly demanded again.

"Sorry....if you're not the one, then I can't do it. If you're really desperate for baby then how about we adopt a baby. Tell me what do you want...A girl or a boy..?" Jordan walked through his study table while talking in a light tone as if the matter isn't important for him.

He attentively started collecting some of his study materials and a map from the table.

Evelina came towards him.

"No.... It's not like I'm against adoption. We can adopt later. But now I need a baby who bear your blood.....I need someone who's yours. Please try to understand me. I'll ask Andreas to send one of the Consorts to serve you tonight. Please accept it. I'll tell Andreas to choose the most beautiful one....." Evelina wrapped Jordan's shoulder from one side.

"How could you talk like this? you're my legal wife....but you've never let me touch you.... I'VE NEVER COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT.....and on top of that you want me to sleep with another woman now. I'm a human, Eve. I'm not gonna listen to your nonsensical request. I'll go now."Jordan removed Evelina's hands from his shoulder and rolled the map.

" Please try to understand.... Everything is for your own good..And I'm already in a big trouble . Don't make things more harder..." Evelina held his hands to inhibit him from doing something else.

"Wait....IS THIS THE REASON OF YOUR SORROW... Back then you were crying because of me... RIGHT!!."

"No...I... You're not the reason...."

Jordan looks at her with a great disappointment. His eyelids saturated with salty tears.

"I understood... Do you think I don't have any clue. It must be the Empress mother who's insisting you for a heir who can carry our bloodline. And you couldn't refuse her. So now you're forcing me with your illogical whim so that you don't have to have s*x with me. TELL ME THE TRUTH,EVE?? Do you even love me... You must hate me so much that you're ready to see me with another woman but not with yourself.....You hate me..." Jordan wept out giving Evelina a modest push to make her away.

But Evelina again attached herself with Jordan's body.

"No, my Prince... You're misunderstanding. I don't hate you. I can't hate you. You're the most important person in my life. You have no idea how far I can go for you.... There's no one compares to you in my life." Evelina closed her eyes grasping Jordan in her arms.

"You've said a lot of good for nothing... This is not I want to hear Eve...." Jordan gave a pale smile.

It was Jordan who always initiated to express his love but Evelina never directly confess to him even once. In fact until now...she kept describing Jordan's significance in her life but didn't say if she love him or not....

Evelina understood why Jordan got upset... So she tried to correct her mistakes.

"Don't overthink my little Prince. I also love you dearly. DID YOU HEAR THAT...I love you the most. But it's just my love for you different. I tried many times.... but I couldn't cultivate any romantic feelings towards you." Evelina use her her manipulative skills.

"SO YOU MEAN I'VE LACKINGS THAT I COULDN'T MAKE YOU FALL FOR ME...."

"IT'S NOT THE FACT. I JUST NEED SOME TIMES MODIFIED THIS LOVE ROMANTICALLY."

"Didn't I agree to give you time ,AS MUCH AS YOU WANTED. Then why don't you spare me some times too." Jordan frowned his eyebrows while shobbing.

"There's no time for you.... Please do this favour on me. It's just a matter of one night... Nothing will change. Please allow me to arrange another girl. Don't you love me. If you love me then obey me this last time....."Evelina tried to blackmail him emotionally as she couldn't beat him in debate.

At any cost, Evelina just wants to show the 2nd Empress that Jordan isn't fully dependent on her and he can easily move on from her with another woman. Then the Empress won't use any strenuous effort to keep her in the palace.

Jordan got furious after hearing Evelina's words. She is still trying to set him up with another woman. Things got crossed out of his patience.

He threw everything from the table out of anger.

"JORDAN!!" Evelina shouted.

But Jordan didn't pay a little heed to her or even kicked the table with all of his strength and turned it upside down on the ground.

Realising his mannerless behaviour, he calm down. He doesn't want to show any misbehaviour in front of Evelina.

He folded his leg and sat on the ground by his knees and took a deep breath.

" Evelina...Stop torturing me like this. Do you know how hard it was for me to suppress my temptation for you? All the time you're wandering around me. Or even staying with me in the same room. But you've made an invisible wall between us.....Every second I'm fighting against my emotions so that it doesn't affect our relationship. I've been suppressing my desires for so long. And It's always driving me crazy. Now I just want you with all my heart. I can't think about any other things let alone any other woman. It really disgusts me." Jordan said in a slow-tired voice while crying.

"If you grant my this wish, then I'll break that wall between us. Please just do what I'm saying.... Don't you always listen to me...."Evelina said with an melting voice.

Jordan hugged Evelina and whispered in her ears.

"My sweety.... I'll do anything you tell me to do. But at least I can't waste my first time with a random woman."

"But...." Evelina tried to oppose him but Jordan stopped her mouth with his finger.

"You have to understand me..... I'm going to Andreas place. Till then you can think about it...if you agree then I'll accept others. I'm not asking for any impossible thing. I just want to share my first time with my goddess and that's only you.."

Jordan walked away hurriedly and left the chamber without letting her say anything.

Evelina got totally blanked out.What was that!!

She tried her best to convince Jordan but it turned back on herself. Everything happened because of the 2nd Empress.

Her efforts messed up and now she fell in big trouble.

She tried to find out a way....but what to do now...she can't avoid Jordan anymore.

No matter what, Evelina has to convince Jordan to hook up with another woman.

But for this, she can't compromise her self-esteem. Only Samuel has the right to have a full access to her heart and soul or even her body ...She can't let herself be touched by anyone else....

Evelina drowned into the ocean of thoughts and searched for a proper way.

.

.

.

After a while....

After using her brain to it's last extent, Evelina couldn't come up with any ideas. So she decided to give up. It's enough for her to being a puppet for the 2nd Empress. She can't always fulfill her every unreasonable command.

Because of the Empress, Evelina kept hurting Jordan more and more.

Besides Jordan is developing a serious attraction towards her with the passing time. So it's better to quit everything at this moment.

Evelina decided to escape from the Palace leaving everything behind and go to the southern ocean. She's also tired of pretending . She can't continue this anymore.

Women Pavilion: Harem

-----------------------------------------

Amanda is sitting in the hall and chatting with other concubines.

Suddenly 3rd and 4th consorts entered the hallroom.

"You're wasting your time here and someone is trying to steal the Prince from us,"the 3rd consort mattered.

"What do you mean."Amanda looked up leaving the conversation in the middle.

The Consorts explained everything that they witnessed in the garden a while ago.

"It seems like that filthy woman is quite valuable for the Prince. I even heard she lived in the Prince Manor instead of her own Pavilion. The Prince always keeps sticking with her and that's why he didn't allow her to use a different residence according to the Royal tradition."the 4th consort said annoyingly.

" Seems like it'll be hard for any of us to reach the Prince overtaking that woman."

3rd consort shoot frustratingly.

"What are you afraid of!! No matter how much influencial she is!! The old furnitures always get replaced with the new ones. Human also tends to follow the same rule....." Amanda stood up from the crowd and leave the Pavilion with an unspoken anger.

Her heart kept pounding from the moment she heard about Evelina. And she couldn't ignore the fear of competing with another woman. Her smile faded away.

Amanda has been liking Prince Jordan from her childhood. When she was little, she saw him once in a Royal occasion.

Later on that ordinary likings turned into love as she grew up. Then she got the news that females are being hired for Prince harem.

She thought her dream would come true .So she specifically requested her father to select her as a representative from their state.

But now the whole situation is against her. It's been a couple of days, she's in the Palace. Even she successfully linked her name with the Prince. But it seems hard to get a sight of her Prince charming let alone winning his heart . She doesn't even got the chance to meet him personally once.

"I'm going to my chember.... Serve me some drinks there."Amanda walked away while ordering one of the maids.

Andreas chember:

-------------------------------

"What happen, my Prince... you're in a very good mood today?"Andreas asked discovering the Prince in a cheerful mind.

"Is it that visible!! Maybe I'm happy because I became the crown prince now." Jordan kept down his gaze.

He didn't tell the actual reason of his contented face to Andreas. He tried his best to behave normally covering all his excitements .

"But I'm sensing something different." Andreas raised his eyebrows.

"Andreas..... it's none of your business." Jordan smiled gently.

Of course it's different. Today he will take his relation with Evelina into a new level. A level that will give a completeness to their marriage. He can't wait to finish his study and go back to his residence where Evelina might be waiting for him.

"Okay let's start studying. Why didn't you bring the prehistoric map with you."Andreas sat down.

"It's a long story, Buddy. Don't ask me. Tell me one thing.....you said you're gonna teach me....then why Federico is here?"Jordan changed the topic glancing over Federico.

"I don't know ....I told him to leave me alone but he said he'll stay with us." Andreas also looked at Federico with irritation.

"Itttt ... it's because I like his company, my Prince."Federico said.

"Oh I can see what you like....."Prince laughed.

Federico blushed.

"What's this rubbish. Federico tell me the truth..?." Andreas look at Federico.

"Actually that's not...."Federico was about to say.

But Jordan stopped him.

"Haven't you noticed, Andreas!! He always sticks with you...hahaha.." Jordan laughed loudly.

"No my Prince... I'm not that type of person. I only like females."Andreas defended himself.

"But I haven't seen you with any woman yet." Federico asked.

"So you thought of give it a try..... Don't dream....I didn't date any woman,It's because..."Andreas stopped in the middle. He can't tell Jordan that he's in love with Evelina and that's why never dated anyone.

"Yeah .....Neither I've seen you with any female. You're here in the place for a long time...Why didn't I notice it before!!."Jordan noded.

"Oh my Prince!! Federico is already teasing me ...Now you're starting too...it's because.... I've liked only one girl in my whole life.....but I can't have her. She is someone out of my reach. She is a forbidden flower. And I've accepted this reality...."Andreas said with a deep pain in his heart. He thought of Evelina while talking.

But conceal all his imagination in the next moment.

"Oh!! Andreas."Jordan looked at him with a pity.

"Don't worry ... I'll soon move on with OTHER WOMAN....I repeat WITH WOMAN"

Andreas looked at Federico.

"Okh....this joke is getting serious. Let's stop it guys." Federico said.

" Yeah....but let me warn you Federico, don't ever stick around me like this. Wherever I go, I saw you.....I have my own privacy.... Always remember that." Andreas said in a bold voice.

"Yes yes let's hurry finish these books. Evelina must be waiting for me." Jordan opened a book and show it to Andreas.

"Yeah.... I also wants to see how Andreas lectures the Prince without any help of the teachers today...hahhahahah." Federico added.
