Jade who got into the room that she was given felt relieved as she leaned against the door. She could still feel his hand on her waist and when she closed her eyes, all she could see was his eyes on her which made her heartbeat accelerate. Trying to get those scenes out of her head, Jade rushed into the bathroom and splashed water on her face. If only she could turn back time, she would not have gone to the school that day they met. Jade thought as she wiped her face.
******. ********. *******
Alvin who had been left by Jade could only smile by the way she sprang out of the room. She was such an innocent creature that Alvin had the urge to taint her and claim her but he withheld himself.
******. *******. ******
Alvin who was going through the parchments that he had come with heard the knock on the door. It was his butler who dutifully walked. "Your highness, the dinner has been served." Albert said with his hands on the back as it was his usual habit. Alvin knew that his butler was not happy with the decision that he had made but he did not want to bring up the topic because he would never let his sweet girl go. She was his life and all he wanted to savour every moment he spent with her.
When the butler left, Alvin walked towards the door that led to Jade's room but even after knocking severally, she did not open. "Jade, if you don't open this door, be ready to lose your virginity tonight.." Just when he finished those words,Jade had already opened the door. "Your highness." Came her few careful words. It was the beautiful soft voice that Alvin would never get tired to listen to. "If you refuse to open this door the next time I knock, you will move into my room. And don't expect me to hold myself back anymore. He warned her but Jade was stubborn even after being warned. "You wouldn't do that. You can't force me." She said consciously. "Wouldn't I?" Alvin asked and walked closer to her but before she could close the door, Alvin grabbed her by the waist and pulled her snuggly towards him.
As Jade looked warily up to him, she could see the intensity of the look that he gave her which made her breathless. "I would do a lot of things with you Jade. I want to have you in all ways to kiss you until you become breathless, touch your bare skin without these clothes on. I want to hear you scream my name the whole day and night until you lose your voice.So, don't dare me because I won't hesitate to do all those things." Saying those words he slowly let go of her waist while feeling her curves that were hidden by the dress that she was wearing and Jade was quick to take two careful steps backwards.
Jade was sure that if she would stay there any longer, she would lose her chastity and sanity because Alvin did not bother to hide what he wanted from her and she was not ready for any of that.
"It is time for dinner milady I will lead the way." Alvin said so that he could ease the girl who looked as if she would run off any moment. "Yes your highness." She said politely with a small bow. "Don't call me that my sweet girl. You are the future queen of Avianna." Though he did not seem to be a pushy man, Jade had come to realize that if she tried to rebel, he would use his own ways so that she could do what he wanted. She was cornered so she did not bother to argue with him. "Okay." Came her short answer which did not satisfy him.
"If you are not okay with my name, You can either call me honey, darling, or maybe sweetheart. What do you say?" The king asked as they continued to walk through the cemented hallways where servants could be seen busy doing their duties. "Your name will do." "What name are you talking about? Sweetheart?' He asked with a smile. "A-alvin." Jade answered hesitantly. This man did not miss a chance to poke her which made her irritated. All she needed to do was to ask someone from the palace to help her escape and once she escapes this place, she would leave Avianna for good. She thought to herself as she slowly followed the proud king.
Alvin and Jade were the first ones to arrive followed by Celine, the girl she had met earlier. Jade had expected to see every member of the family at the table but she was surprised to find an empty room. It was rude for someone to join the table after the king. How does this place work. She asked her self as she took a seat that the king told her to take. "I came earlier than everybody else because some things need to be adjusted. So stop making that face my dear." Alvin's words made her wonder if he could read her mind. How did he know what she was thinking about?! Celine who did not say a word took a seat next to confused jade and gave her a small smile. The royal family members started to arrive one by one and the last person to show up was queen Elisa who seemed to be very angry.
Elisa was a selfish person and if she would have to sacrifice her children to gain power, she would gladly do it. Though Alvin had known all her plans to dethrone him, he had not killed her but that did not mean that he would not do it. "Aunt. You are late for dinner. I forgive people once, if they deserve it but the next time any of you join the table after me, be ready to be starved for a whole week." Alvin said authoritatively and waved his hand so that the servant's would start serving the food while ignoring queen Elisa who still stood at the same place.
