Chapter 7
As Ronald started the engine , I felt so much regret in me as I slowly entered the car and proceeds Loki enters the palace ...I really wanted to come out and at least have a heartfelt conversation with him, but now I know that cannot be possible because I cannot go against Ronald yet I have to act like a loving mate to him, who is ready to do anything for him and the second I object against this dinner outing ..then I have made a huge mistake and he might easily find out.
I don't know why but I feel so hurt whenever I have to pretend , I felt like I was always a fool back in my previous life and now I am still a fool about it but I don't have a choice, I have to do what is right I have to be your everything just so that it would go well with me I just hope I will be able to get back to loki and make everything right I thought to myself as we drove off .
"You would love the surprise I have in store for you " Ronald said to me
but I was not really interested in any of the things he said as I continue to stare through the rare mirror at Loki who was greeting a few maids front of the palace before he entered
" What is Loki looking for in the palace? I thought you had already driven him out " Natasha asked me I turned and stared at her with so much hatred in my face.
" And why do you want me to pursue him out….. Did he offend you or is he a pawn in any of your plans " I asked Natasha bitterly. She scoffed and turned away from me, staring outside the car as we drove off.
"The dining hall that we were supposed to go to, was quite a far distance from the palace but I have no problem with it all that mattered was ,The dining will be over and I will be able to come back to look for Loki and have a few words with him ,he seemed a little pissed at me I really wanted to have a few words with him at least to end the quarrels between us and the misunderstanding .
"Erica you seem a little Lost in thought hope all is well?" Ronaldo asked , I smiled turning back to face him.
" I think I am absolutely fine and you don't have to worry , I am just a bit worried …..there are a few things I have to do at home and I hope this dinner will not delay me" I said to him
"What could be more important that the both of us going out and getting more closer to each other" he asked me I stared at him a bit being unable to hold in the disgust I felt for him
"I just have something that is more important than this but I don't want to disappoint you because of the love and memories we shared together "I said to him, turning away from him immediately I cannot bear to continue staring at him.
A few minutes later we were finally at our destination, I came out quickly before Ronald would make the attempt of helping me with the door I adjusted my dress and matched forward as a trailed his hands around my waist ,
"You seem to be in so much hurry for a dinner that hasn't started and you are already running away from it "Ronald said to me.
Natasha slowly walked up to both of us. " You two are so romantic ,you cannot even stay away from each other for a few minutes "she said to me
"Why don't you find a guy to play romance with at least that will help a lot "I said to her and removed Ronald hand from my waist as I walked into the restaurant.
I just hope this dinner can be over with, I don't know why but I really need to see Loki, I feel like talking to him would make me a little bit ease...…I was immediately welcomed into the restaurant by the main chef , it seemed like everything was already planned by Ronald that I would be treated like a queen maybe he wants to get a few words out of me and he think this is the best way to do it I thought to myself .
We sat down at our already prepared dining table as I looked around for any individuals but it seemed he had booked the whole restaurant for the night , which was kind of odd. I thought he just made a suggestion at the palace... I never knew he had already planned it and made it seem like a suggestion.
"I know you are a bit surprised I just had to book a private dinner for the three of us, so we won't be interrupted by anyone " he said to me I smiled taking my seat …..I was not ready to say anything I still feel so much hatred for them no matter what ever happens.
Natasha joins the table smiling at me weird , she can have all the fun she wants I don't care at this extent, I just want to get the f*** out of here and be at peace.
