Five

Lilian went directly to the Prince's Chamber the moment she left the Queen's Chamber.

She barged into his chamber and kicked his door open without knocking or taking permission.

The Prince was half-naked the moment she stepped into the room.

"Hey, can't you knock and wait for an order to come in?" He asked the moment he turned around to see who it was.

"Just the same way you asked for my permission before barging into my room like a thief last night, right?" She asked the moment she stood in front of him, glaring at him.

"Good morning, my Princess. I am sorry, I was drunk." The Prince said to her as he tried to hug her but she quickly bent over and took a few steps backward.

"Don't even think about hugging me. Do you not know what you have done? Lilian asked as she kissed her teeth and rolled her eyes at the same time.

"What have I done?" The Prince asked with brows raised.

"You don't know what you have done?" Lilian asked as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"No, I am lost. Please tell me." The Prince said with a calm tone and succeeded in hugging her this time, as he started patting her back.

"You raped me." She said as she began sobbing.

"Wait, what?" The Prince asked in exclamation.

"You don't know?" Lilian asked as she raised her head to see his face.

The Prince just shook his head in response.

"Tell me that you are pretending." Lilian.

"I am not." The Prince replied and shook his head again at the same time.

"You raped me last night."

"You deflowered me."

" I am no longer a virgin."

"Damnit! How?" The Prince asked in confusion and disbelief.

"You don't remember my worst nightmare?" She asked as she began to walk out of the room, sobbing.

"Wait." The Prince said as he ran after her.

He caught her and held her so that she couldn't pull away from him.

"Leave me alone." She said in anger as she tried to pull away from him but couldn't.

"No, I won't. I am sorry." The Prince apologized.

"This was the same way you held me against my bed last night, beat me up, made me unconscious, and raped the hell out of me. I am no longer a virgin"

"I did all that?" The Prince asked.

"Yes," Lilian responded and nodded at the same time.

"I am very sorry." The Prince said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Can you see the bruises on my face and all over my body?" She asked as she turned her head sideways to show him the bruises. She also raised her chest towards him and shrugged her shoulders at different times to show him the bruises all over her body too.

"I did all of that?" Prince Alasdair asked in disbelief and hugged her tightly.

"What am I going to do now?" She asked the Prince.

"The question should be, what are we going to do now?" The Prince rephrased her words.

He signed, then shrugged and said,

"To be honest with you, my love, I do not know."

"How would you know what to do when you can't even remember the crime you committed?" She said and rolled her eyes.

"What will I do when everyone finds out that I am no longer a virgin?" She asked in anger.

"No one will find out if you keep it to yourself and do not tell anyone." The Prince said.

"What if I am already pregnant outside wedlock?" She asked as the possibility of her being pregnant came to her head.

"That can't be possible. It was your first time." The Prince said to her, trying to assure her.

"My first time you say?" She asked Prince Alasdair as she became angrier.

"Yes, it was your first time, wasn't it?" He asked.

"It wasn't my first time. I wasn't even conscious. You blanked me out and raped me. Do you call that my first time? It wasn't my first time, it was my nightmare." She confronted the rapist Prince of a Fiance that she has.

The Prince let out a deep sigh as he didn't know what to say or do to make it up to her.

"I am sorry, dear." The Prince said.

"I am sorry. Is that all you have to say? Don't you have any plans?" She asked in disappointment.

"A plan? How am I supposed to have a plan when I haven't had any time to even think about it?" The Prince said, raising his voice at her.

"Did you just raise your voice for me?" She asked.

He sighed very deeply and said,

"I am sorry but all I am saying is that you should give me some time to think about a way out."

"A way out? What if I am pregnant?" She asked and kissed her teeth.

"Even so, I will find a way out." He tried assuring her.

"I can't imagine how embarrassed and ashamed I would feel if I happened to be pregnant outside wedlock." She said as cold ran down her spine at the thought of it again.

"Don't worry, we will find a way." The Prince said as he couldn't think of anything else to say that will please her at the moment.

"If it turns out that I am pregnant, no one would believe me that you raped me." She said,

"Don't even think about it. Don't worry, you are not pregnant." He said to her again.

"How do you know? You said you don't remember what happened last night or are you lying to me?" She asked, glaring as if her eyes would slice through his body and share him into two halves.

"No, I dare not lie to my woman. Indeed, I don't remember any of the things that happened last night but I am sure that I didn't do the other things inside you." He said to her scratching the back of his head.

"You were sure you didn't do what?" She asked.

"Don't worry, you won't understand, it's a guy's thing." He said to her,

"If you didn't remember anything that had happened last night, how come you remembered that you drank last night?" She asked.
