Wed Me II

Klaus

I stared at Maeve with shock in my eyes. I waited for her to chuckle and proclaim her words as a joke, but never happened. Instead, she maintained the tenacity in her eyes, and remained adamant.

"What did you just say?!" I returned after thirty seconds of pin-drop silence.

"You heard me right Klaus! I won't father a bastard, nor will I get rid of this pregnancy. If you don't want the succession of your throne to be contested, I'd advise you to make the proper decision." Maeve maintained, this time even more bolder than she was.

She wasn't playing around, and from the confidence in her tone, I was almost certain she had already told her father about her pregnancy. It won't be long before he writes to me, demanding that I take care of his daughter and his grandchild.

I pulled away from Maeve and distanced myself from her, one second later and I might have lost to my intrusive thoughts.
