Chapter 75: trust me forever…

He was talking with some old man about his father's illness until he felt a hand moving on his back. He glanced to find Mal next to him smiling.

(Weird) he thought to himself

"-you are a lucky man to have such a pretty wife like you miss." She didn't gave him the chance to answer:

"-oh thank you sir Brown, how can I not be the happiest woman on earth with Kieran being my husband…oh sorry my husband soon to be.

-it looks like you are not impatient to be united together…yeah, there is nothing better than marriage.

-absolutely, this sacred bond uniting two hearts together…

(She is playing her role better than I expected)

…unless you find them cheating behind your back near the buffet." She pointed and Mister Brown went red and excused himself so the other man.

(and she is Mal that I know)

"-why are you staring at me like a creep?

-admiring your beauty sweetheart." He answered taking a sip from his drink. She soon took the glass from his hand and put it on the table.

"-how could you leave me alone!

-as far as I remember you said, you don't want me near you.

-you know I talk rubbish all the time. But I felt lonely."

(Was I so exaggerate with my actions?)

"-do you want to dance?

-I thought you will never ask.

-that's new, I thought you hate dancing." He snickered taking another sipfrom his drink.

"-I do, but it's a good opportunity to step on your feet and see how much you can handle pain." He smiled before he turned quickly splitting his drink on her cape.

He put down the glass and took off her cape and a servant took it from him to clean it.

"-I'm sorry." She was glaring at him with her eyes glowing in a different shade but they got back to normal in a blink of an eye and she quickly opened her hair to fall on her shoulders.(nice move)

"-it's okay but be careful next time.

-it won't be a next time darling…come on I will make it up to you." He guided her to the dancing floor and staretd to dance smouthly.

He pushed her bang away from her eyes revealing her eyebrows.

"-what's wrong?

-Ayana did well covering your brow splits.

-ye…yeah she d…did.

-what's with the stuttering…are you nervous ?

-why would I?

-we haven't been this close since…

-since…

-let's not talk about it now.

-as you like." She smirked and moved her hand up pulling him more, his body tensed and tried his best not to glare at her with everyone staring at them and girls whispering at the back how cute they are and some jealous of her.

"-what's wrong… nervous?" she mocked his words but he answered smirking:

"-I know you won't believe it but I am sorry…I'm sorry for what I did…for making you uncomfortable, forcing you in this chaos and betraying your trust."

He leaned more near her ear and whispered:

"-I'm sorry for everything my love forgive me please. I'm not lying or acting…I'm being honest with you…as we used to be.

-I forgive you but…would you forgive me too?

-for what?

-for the slaps and…

-don't be ridiculous…I was a moron toward you." He turned her for the last time before he hugged her pushed her hair away from her shoulders with a big warm smile on.

"-will you trust me again Mal?

-I will

-forever?

-forever.

-prove it then." he looked at her waiting and everyone looking anticipating; she smirked before getting on her tiptoes to kiss him.

She closed her eyes once she felt his hand around her neck and he grinned mischievously and everyone screamed at him.

He chocked her and hit her head on the floor that everyone was in total shock, blood streaming from her head and a clear sign of a hit was on the marble.

"-oh my god the poor girl!

-is he crazy!

-Ayana!" the girls tried to check on her but a group of men stopped them thinking the prince went crazy.

-My daughter!" Vernin shouted and Kieran fixed his costume before the king hold him by his color.

"-she is not your daughter in all cases, why do you care?"

Meanwhile,

"-oh my god, why do they have to put all these stairs…fuck you Kieran!" she took off her high heels and run down the stairs.

She met two guards and was checking on her.

"-your highness what happened to you?

-I'm fine, I finished some business oh by the way guys, his corps is in small room upstairs, bring him.

-I thought you went with the prince?" the first guard asked again before the other interrupted:

"-what are you talking about man the prince is dancing with…with… the princess." They both glared at her.

"-listen I'm the real princess and it's all a trap!

-you are lying! Our princess is an angel no way she will get her hand dirty.

-I'm telling you…oh god forget it." She kicked them both and run to the ball as fast as she can and a group of guards was following her.

Once she arrived at the ball, she put her shoes and fixed her hair a bit she was thirsty that se gulped down a whole jug of fresh juice and sat down taking back her breath. The poor bartender was shocked and starring at her.

"-what are you looking at! Have you never seen someone running down 10,000 stairs to reach the spoiled prince before…" she looked to find the guards looking for her.

"-damn it!" she started to run and get between the crowed till she saw Kieran hitting the girl that looked just like her on the floor.

Vernin didn't finish his words and the princess turned to be Miranda.

Then Mal was pushing the crowed to get in but a guard caught her.

"-this is not your daughter." He snickered and the king was hell mad but once he saw Ayana waving at him that she is fine he calmed down.

"-Father!" she yelled and everyone was looking at her struggling with the guards, messy hair stained dress.

Kieran get in and pulled her from them and they all backed off.

"-you should have been guarding her but she and I almost got killed with two shapeshifters and you were just standing by!

-sorry your highness we thought it was you and…

-get out of my face before I kill you all!" he yelled at the top of his lung till his eyes turned red. Mal noticed it and turned him to face her covering his eyes till they got to their original color.

"-are you okay?

-yeah but you didn't tell me this was part of the marriage…in all cases I'm happy it wasn't…" he hugged her tightly almost cutting out the air from her lungs.

"-thank god you are okay." He said checking her but the king pushed him away.

"-oh my dear I was so worried

"-I'm fine don't worry I…

-you'd better explain later…take her to her room to change and rest…everybody I am sorry for what happened…" Kieran didn't wait for another second before he took her to her room so they can talk freely.
