I wanna go back to Achilles now

Achilles stormed back into the Palace raging. He was so angry he didn't know what to do with himself. Zale saw him enter without Kristen, so he approached him quickly and asked. "Achilles, where were you, and where's Kristen?"

Achilles didn't even bat an eye at his question. He ignored Zale's question and kept on walking. Zale was disoriented.

"I just asked you a question, Achilles."

"She left! Ok? She f%&king left with her ex-boyfriend!" He yelled. One could tell that he was hurt and used anger to express it.

"She left? Why'd you let her leave?" Zale asked again. Achilles stopped and sighed in frustration.

"She left, and that's all I wanna say. Don't say her name again."

"What are you talking about, Achilles?" Achilles looked at him with menacing eyes. "It's your Majesty to you!" Zale immediately rolled his eyes. He knew that he only asked to be addressed formally whenever he was angry about something.

"What are you talking about? Your Majesty?"

Achilles seriously looked like he wanted to cry. "Loukâs.... she left with him." he managed to say. Zale's mouth flew open, and his eyes were wide as saucers.

"Loukâs? Your brother Loukâs is back?" Zale couldn't believe his ears. Achilles nodded his head. "First of all, how did he get back into the country? And second? how come you let her get captured by him?"

"Loukâs can shape shift. I forgot he could do that, and I guess that's how he got in."

"What about the latter?"

"She knew him, so she willingly left with him." At this point, Zale had a million questions piled up in his head.

Before he could speak, Achilles continued. "He changed his name and identity. He was the person I spoke to the other night when she was unconscious. He's her ex-boyfriend, I guess."

"You guess? You let your archenemesis take her away. "But what do I care? She left on her own accord."

"You like her, you care, and I know it." Zale said. "You don't know anything, Zale." Achilles countered. Zale smirked because he knew it all.

"Of course I do. You have feelings for her much so you fucked her close to 4 days after meeting her."

Achilles froze, looking shocked surprised. "Yeah, that's right. Your righteousness, I know all about how you fucked her hard behind that water fall." Zale added.

"..."

Achilles couldn't speak. He was sure nobody had seen them. "It was good, wasn't it? I saw everything Achilles. How you touched her, teased her, and kissed her. I never knew you to be so affectionate -"

Zale couldn't finish his statement because Achilles shoved him into the wall with his hand on his throat.

"How in the gods name do you know about that? Huh? Did you follow me?" Achilles yelled in Zale's face. "Yes, I did. I wanted to see where you were going. I didn't expect that at all. You were fiery."

"Enough!! Shut your mouth, Zale!" Achilles shouted. "Shut your fucking mouth."

"Calm down, Your Highness. I'll keep your dirty secret." Zale said. Achilles released his grip from Zale's neck and calmed down. He was beyond vexed and couldn't deal with any of it anymore, so he straight up left without a word.

Meanwhile...

"I told you not to come here." Kristen said while yanking her hand from his grip. "I told you that I wasn't going to listen to you. I do what I want, baby."

"Don't you dare call me that you piece of sh!t!" Loukâs scoffed at her. "Ok."

She folded her arms and looked at him directly without saying anything. "What?" he asked. "So you're royalty?" she asked. He smiled and looked down for a second. "Yeah."

"So you lied to me all this while. You lied straight to my face."

"See, I didn't lie. I just didn't tell the whole truth. "That's the same thing you asshole." she countered.

"Alright, fine. I lied to you, but that's not a reason to hate me like this." Kristen was really shocked as she had never heard anything remotely low as this. "Oh really? After 2 years of being together, you promised to make our relationship public and divorce your wife so we could get married, but you dumped me and called me a side piece. If that's not a reason to hate you, then I don't know what is."

"I told you I did that for a reason. I love you, sweetheart," he stepped closer to her. "I love you, and I only did that because of personal problems you shouldn't worry about. I want you back, my love."

At this time, he cupped her cheeks and tried to kiss her. She wanted to move back, but a part of her wanted him.

"Please, Kris, give me one more chance, and I promise you I'll never hurt you ever again."

His lips finally met hers, but she froze. She was torn between kissing him back and pushing him away. She chose the latter.

She briskly pushed him away.

"Don't do that, Luke. You lost all rights to do that."

"But I already explained everything to you." "Yes but it still doesn't change the fact that you disregarded my feelings and treated me like sh!t. I don't want you back." She said.

Loukâs could feel his blood boiling in his veins. He couldn't keep being rejected by her. He had had enough.

She noticed his body language and instantly knew he was pissed.

He lifted his hand as if he wanted to stroke her hair, but he gripped her nape tight, and she whimpered.

"You wanna act like little bitch? huh? Why do you keep rejecting me like this?"

"Lucas, you're hurting me," she said. "Let go!" "Am I now?" " Yes, please let me go."

He suddenly let go. He realized he got upset and acted without thinking.

"I'm sorry, I-I."

"I wanna go back to Achilles now." She said, rubbing her nape to soothe the pain.
