HEAVEN'S TEARS {1}

Heaven held her baby's hand as they walked into Lothaire's manor.

Lothana gave the building a weird glance. It was a huge contrast to her beautiful Palace.

"Where is this place mama"? She asked.

Heaven kept silent. She was torn in-between. The reason why she hadn't brought lothana to this place was because she didn't want her to find out the truth about her father, and become sad.

Call her selfish but she is doing it for her daughter's sake.

It's not like she doesn't want Lothaire to be part of their daughter's life. "Damn"! She so badly wanted to tell her daughter about all the times she spent with Lothaire but she couldn't.

It's better if their daughter grows up normally and then when Lothaire comes back, they can start all over again.

"Mama"! You're spacing out again"! Lothana pouted.

Heaven smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks, her daughter loves attention so much that she couldn't tell who she got the attitude from.

"Well this place is Mama's secret place with Papa". Heaven said with much difficulty.

"Wow! You mean my real Papa"? Lothana said in excitement.

"What do you mean real Papa"? Heaven asked in surprise.

" Hmph "! With my one in a million senses, I can tell that Papa Jerome is not my real Papa"! Lothana snorted.

Heaven didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her daughter's attitude reminded her of a stupid little girl two years ago.

"How could you tell"? Heaven asked in amazement. Although Lothana's teacher had said that the little girl is smart, she is still surprised.

"I've seen how Mami's mama and papa act when they come to pick her from the noble school. You don't behave like that with papa Jerome and Mami said her mama and papa sleep in one bed. But mama does not ... "

"Alright... Alright". My daughter is very intelligent". Heaven patted her head.

"Hehe"! Lothana giggled.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

"Leonile are you sure you don't want to go back"? A sweet voice spoke.

Leonile smiled happily. He was grateful he left Zenin city.

Beck then on his way to look for Kerala, his carriage accidentally hit a girl who was selling her sour candy.

He rented an inn, took care of her, and eventually when she was alright, he found out that he couldn't leave her.

Everything about her, made him happy.

He could clearly remember how hard it was to chase after her. But it eventually paid off.

Now he didn't care about anything. The throne, Lothaire and Heaven. All he wanted right now was to live his life with his lover.

"Why do you keep staring at me like that"? Tanya fidgeted with her fingers shyly.

"You're beautiful". Leonile smiled.

"Anyway I plan on going back with you, I can't wait to marry you and let the world know that you are taken". He scratched her nose lovingly.

Tanya tensed up. "D.. do you think your dad would like me"? She asked in agitation .

" Should you be worried about that"? Leonile laughed." You are getting married to me not my dad. Why are you thinking about him while I'm here"? He spoke in jealousy.

" You can't blame me. After a I'm the reason why his son stayed away from home for two years". Tanya suddenly regretted ever playing hard-to-get.

"I might have stayed up to this time even if I hadn't met you. I told you before that I was on my way to look for a friend". Leonile said.

"Yeah I remember. A pretty and cool friend of yours that is also a lady". Tanya snorted.

" What's that smell"? Leonile asked as he sniffed the place

" Are you perceiving something? There is nothing wrong with the air here"? Tanya also sniffed like Leonile.

" But I'm sure that I'm perceiving something. It smells like ..... Jealousy "! Leonile laughed as he ended his sentence.

" You're crazy". Tanya frowned and pinches his hard chest.

"You don't have to be bothered about my dad now. I'm in no rush to go back after all we are well off here. So when you feel like you want us to go back, we will". Leonile said softly.

"Thanks Leo". Tanya hugged him, and snuggled into his arms.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Crystal stared at the familiar street in joy. She couldn't wait to see Heaven's face when she sees her with Lothaire.

For so long she had swallowed many insults and pranks from Heaven but now she would give Heaven the biggest blow.

"What are you smiling about? You love it here don't you"? Lothaire smiled dotingly. He loved to see her smile. It made him feel fulfilled.

"I love anywhere I am with you". Crystal placed a kiss on his lip and caressed his handsome face.

"You look cute"! She praised with a smile. She had never seen such a pretty man before.

Lothaire frowned. "Am I lagging behind in masculine features? How could you call me cute"? He pouted.

"No matter what you say, it doesn't stop you from being cute". Crystal laughed. Lothaire to others, is very cold and distant. But to her, he can become the most childish person.

"Whatever! We're here already". Lothaire scoffed.

The rented carriage pulled to a stop in front of the mighty gate of the Aurona Palace.

Lothaire came down, and stretched out his hands to help Crystal, who slowly got down from the carriage.

"Who are you"? The Palace guards walked forward. And stopped Lothaire.

"Get lost". Lothaire produced a frigid ice from his body, scaring the guards to death.

"Se-se- Second Prince"! The guard's face scrunched up in disbelief.

Lothaire ignored him, and walked with Crystal into the palace.

"Who are you"? Lothana ran with her chubby legs to the door when she saw the unknown faces.

When crystal saw the face, she was shocked to the bone. This boy looked so much like Lothaire that one could take them for father and son.

Lothaire frowned when he was stopped. He stared down at the little figure before him, and surprise flashed through his face.

"Who are you"? He asked in shock.

"Mister are you feeling alright? You're in my house so I should be the one asking you that"! Lothana frowned. Although this is her first time seeing this man, she dislikes him.

"Lothana what are you doing.... " Heaven gasped in shock when she saw the familiar figure before her.

How long had it been? How many sleepless nights have she gone through?

Finally he is back. Finally she didn't have to cry anymore.

Heaven took a step but stopped. She wanted to run into his embrace but didn't know why she stopped.

Lothaire stared confusingly at the lady continuously staring at him with emotions.

Crystal fidgeted nervously. She kept her gaze fixed on Lothaire waiting to see any recognition on his face. She sighed in relief when he didn't recognize Heaven.

At this point, Heaven suddenly noticed the figure standing with Lothaire. She frowned and stares daggers st Crystal.

Crystal shrank behind Lothaire in fright.

Lothaire frowned in anger. He released a frigid air but soon stopped it when he remembered the little 'boy' before him.

He hugged crystal and consoled.

As Heaven watched their interaction, tears dropped from her eyes.

"L-Lothaire....."!
