Dinner

"Now which finger do you want to lose will you do the honor of choosing or should I choose for you," he said with a smug smile.

***************

I did not know what to say cause I was already trembling with fear.

"Crown Prince, please spare my daughter," my stepmom said, and within a second he let go of the knife and my hands. As I stepped back, I stumbled on my dress and was about to fall when he caught me ' Oh God this is officially the worse day of my life ' I mumbled to myself.

"Oh really" he whispered in my ears. All the hair at the back of my neck rose due to shock. ' Did he hear me ' I taught he let out a smug smile

"Loud and clear" and with that, he let go of me and retreated to his seat for dinner. I was about to walk back to the other side of the table when I heard a voice.

"Aren't you supposed to seat next to me?" I turned around to look at Dad but he was as stiff as a rock and didn't even look at me ' Oh no, no, no, no, no ' this can't be happening ' I turned to look at Sebastian but he had already started to eat. ' I guess I have no choice ' I quietly walked to where he was seated and pulled a chair for myself sat down and started to eat. I was about to excuse myself from the table when a young man in his late twenties walked in. He was a well-built man with brown eyes and short black hair. I saw him graciously walk toward where I was seated or so I taught.

"Good evening milady he greeted"

"even...." I could not complete my statement cause I felt someone squeeze my hand from under the table.

"What brings you here Gabriel," Sebastian said in a low but dangerous voice.

"Well em milord there....."

"Cant I have dinner in peace," Sebastian said as he used his hands to rub his eyes.

"It's an emergency by the gates, milord," he said in a much lower voice. which got me curious but what got me more curious was when Sebastian's face turned dead serious as he whispered something into this Gabriel's ear.

"It was great having dinner, with the family of my beloved friend Braylon but I think this is where we part ways"

"What about you marrying my daughter," my dad asked making me glare at him

"Of course, I'll marry your daughter if you don't mind she will leave with me"

"But my prince why don't you rest for the night it has been a long day," my mom said getting up from the chair

"Thanks for your generosity, Felicia. Gabriel, we leave first thing in the morning. if there's nothing else good night" and with that he walked out of the dining room with Gabriel trailing behind his back. Rude when he was gone I walked over to my stepmom gave her a peck on the check then bid her and my dad good night before retiring to bed.
