“so what are you going to do?” Miranda moved closer to him “now that you realized that your supposed Princess is a dancer in a club”
“this is getting interesting” Andres chuckled then repeated her question “what am I going to do?”
Miranda nodded “yea”
“what do you want me to do?”
“go back to the council and tell them you can’t marry me”
“why?”
“Because you can’t marry a woman who isn’t a vir-gin”
Andres chuckled “That doesn’t count”
Miranda flared up “you can’t marry me”
“the wedding is in a week time but since the show just got interesting, why don’t we wed sooner.. Maybe in the next three days”
“you can’t marry me”
“okay” Andres shrugged with a sm-irk “I’ll tell the council just what you said”
Miranda breathed out in relief “Good”
“but that would be after you’ve told me why and how you managed to leave The Royal Palace of Brussels and go to the club”
“it’s none of your business just call off this wedding”
“that would be when I’ve known everything” Andres stated matter of factly
“there’s nothing you nee-d to know”
“maybe you’re right” Andres shrugged again “we’ll talk about that after the wedding” he added and headed back to the court room.
Miranda was infuriated. She huffed loudly and hesitantly headed back to the council. The rest of the introduction was hell for Miranda. She kept avoiding Andres’ gaze. As much as she wanted her husband to hate her, Andres was the last man she wanted to see. Not after what she did to him.
Andres went into his chamber immediately the introduction was over. He wasn’t in for compliments and greetigs from the guest, he nee-ded some alone time.
He was finding it difficult to believe that Miranda was Sardonyx and Sardonyx was Miranda.
Why did she do that?
He nee-ded an answer.
As much as he de-sired Sardonyx, he was merely infatuated with her. He couldn’t marry her. She was a dancer and he couldn’t marry her. But he still nee-ded to know more.
Why she did what she did and how she managed to do it.
“Andres?!” Amalia’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts
Andres inhaled de-eply then went to join his mother in his living room.
“Mother?!”
“The Duke wants to see you” Amalia informed
Andres sighed “don’t I ever get to be alone?”
“You didn’t get to greet the guests” Amalia said
“They aren’t leaving yet right?”
Amalia sighed “Andres?!”
“Come on mother.. I’m having a headache alre-ady”
“you nee-d to talk to Miranda. See if you two can get to know each other better before the wedding and probably get along”
“Miranda and I can never get along”
“what did you say?”
“nothing mother, but how well do you know Miranda?”
“I don’t really know son but she’s a good girl if I must say”
Andres chuckled “can I entertain her in my chamber?”
“not before the wedding”
“It’s a chaste invitation”
“Andres no one is going to permit that”
“then can I go to her chamber?”
“double no”
“then how are we going to know each other”
“you can meet in the garden or anywhere outside your chambers”
“Alright.. Pas-s a message across to her”
“You want to see her?”
“tonight at the garden?”
“Fiona said Miranda doesn’t come out at night. She never agrees”
“Why? What does she do at night?” Andres asked his mother but had the answer in his heart ‘go-to-club.’
“Make it tomorrow”
“Alright”
“Sleep well” Amalia prayed
“you too mother” Andres planted a chaste k!sson her cheek then walked her to the door “pas-s my message”
Amalia smiled “I will” she said and walked out

“Andres wants to see Miranda” that was the first things Amalia said to Fiona the next morning
Fiona chuckled and greeted “Good morning”
“oh.. My bad” Amalia laughed “Good morning Fiona, I was just too excited”
“I have a strong feeling they’ll get along” Fiona said then added “but it’s almost an impossible feeling”
“let’s give them time”
“no matter their differences, they can’t escape the wedding” Fiona said
“Inform Miranda.. Andres wants to see her at the garden this morming after breakfast”
“she won’t miss it” Fiona said “I’ll go see her”
Andres was taking a stroll in the palace when he heard Fiona yelling from a corner followed by Miranda’s voice. He traced their voices and found them arguing then he st©pped to listen.
“… Miranda what’s wrong with you?” Fiona shouted
“I’m not going to marry him” Miranda sobbe-d “I can’t”
“Miranda plea-se.. You have to, he’s going to make a good husband for you. For once in your life you deserve to be happy”
“I’ll never be happy with Andres.. I’ll never be happy in my life”
“you father will kill you”
“he alre-ady killed me five years ago.. I’m just a shadow of myself now” Miranda cried
“My child” Fiona reached for her hand but she moved away
“mother I’ll kill him” Miranda swore “I’ll kill Andres”
“you won’t do such nons-en-se Miranda”
“I’ll pas-s a spear throu-gh his throat and I’ll gorge out his eyes” Miranda spat out and ran off in tears
“Miranda?! Miranda?!” Fiona called after her.
Andres unconsciously t©uçhed his throat then his eyes as Miranda’s last words echoed in his head.

He chuckled and went after Miranda.
“Hey!” Paola st©pped him in the hallway “where are you going?”
“did Princess Miranda take this way?” he asked Paola
“I didn’t see her” Paola replied then asked “is there something I should know?”
“nothing” Andres replied then asked “what do you think about Princess Miranda?”
“she’s beautiful and….” Paola thought “that’s all I can tell about her” she added with a small laugh
Andres smiled “okay.. See you around” he said and walked off.
Even though he knew Miranda wouldn’t show up, he still headed to the garden. He waited there for minutes that slowly rolled into hours but she didn’t come. Not like he was expecting her to come talk to him anyway.
Andres left the garden later in the evening and headed back to his chamber.

KNOCK! KNOCK! ✊✊✊
Andres sighed but didn’t get up to answer the door. He was busy with his phone and didn’t want to talk to anyone.
The knock sounded again and this time more louder and threatening than the first one.
“Are you opening the door or am coming in with the door?”
“Amira?!” Andres knew better than letting her come in with the door. He reluctantly got up and went to get the door.
“What’s wrong with you?” Amira asked when he let her in
“I’m just tired that’s all” Andres said
“tired from doing nothing?”
“Probably”
“have you seen with the princess?”
“she ditched me”
Amira chuckled “Why?”
“Miranda hates me.. Isn’t it obvious?”
“You can’t be sure of that” Amira said “she probably doesn’t like you doesn’t mean she hates you”
“what’s the difference?”
“Andres?!” Amira drew nearer “what’s wrong?”
Andres looked at her. tem-pted to tell her everything. tem-pted to open up to her and pour our his heart to her, but as much as he trusted his younger sister, he couldn’t risk Miranda’s secret. He knew Miranda didn’t just hate him, she was also scared and he nee-ded to win her trust if he was ever going to find out the truth about her.
“It’s nothing” he said and they talked of other important things until late in the night and Amira retired to her Chambers after the family had dinner together.

⏩⏩ DAYS LATER ⏩⏩
“Miranda is joining us for breakfast” Amira whispered to Andres during the course of their meal. Andres choked and almost spat out the food bre-ad chewing.
“Amira no side talks” Amalia scolded and proffered Andres with a glas-s of water
“Thank you” Andres took the glas-s and gulped down the water then he whispered to Amira “what were you saying?”
“Shhhh! Mother is watching” Amira said and went back to her food
“She’s here” Amira whispered again after few minutes. Andres’ eyes went to the door just as Miranda appeared at the door way. He was seeing her for the first time after her argument with her mother the other day. She had apparently being avoiding him and he knew it. Miranda walked to the only available seat and Taylor helped her in. She muttered a general greeting and shifted her gaze to Andres. He was sitting directly opposite her and they couldn’t look up without locking eyes.
“You’re pu-lling attention” Amira told him and he realized he was staring too much and he had been chewing the food in his mouth for too long. Andres looked away and faced his food.
He tried ignoring Miranda’s strong scent that was invading his s-en-ses. She was beautiful. More beautiful than the last time he saw her.
When Andres couldn’t help it anymore. He dropped his spoon then pushed his chair back and got up.
“Andres you can’t leave until breakfast is over” Amalia snarled
Andres glanced at Miranda who had a mocking sm-irk plastered on her face. He swallowed an invisible lump in his throat and sat back on his chair.
Andres picked on his food until breakfast was over then he made to hurry out when Fiona st©pped him.
“Andres?!” She prompted when he made to leave “Miranda wants to take a walk around if you don’t mind.. she gets bored staying indoors always”
“Mother?!” Miranda yelled
Andres glanced at Miranda then his mother who was alre-ady giving him signals.
“After you Princess” he gestures reluctantly
Miranda huffed loudly and walked out ahead. Andres followed her encourage by Amira’s knowing smile.
“There’s….”
“don’t talk to me” Miranda interrupted Andres when he tried speaking after their long silence during the walk.
Andres sighed and went on in silence. He st©pped after a while and headed back inside without saying a word to her. Miranda turned and saw him walking away.
She flared up and shouted after him “Andres?! Andres?!” but he didn’t st©p. She stumbled over a stone and fell into the pool.
“Andres?!”

DAYS LATER… 💒 WEDDING BELLS 💒
“… Calm down bro, it’s just a wedding not a death s£ntence” Jimmy told Andres who was pacing up and down restlessly
ι’ℓℓ ραѕѕ α ѕρєαя тняσυgн нιѕ тняσαт αи∂ ι’ℓℓ gσяgє συт нιѕ єуєѕ.
Andres chuckled remembering Miranda’s threat then he turned to his friends.
“do you think I’m doing the right thing?” he asked them
They stared at him like he had developed five heads.
“what are you talking about?” Daniel broke the silence
“never mind” Andres said with the wave of a hand “let’s not keep the priest waiting”
.
.
.
.
.
“Miranda plea-se.. The priest is waiting” Fiona begged
Miranda stared at her mother adamantly “I’ll come just get out”
“you’ve been saying the same thing for the past 2 hours.. Your dad is furious”
“then get out”
Fiona broke down in tears “Miranda plea-se”
Miranda tilted her head skyward and blinked ra-pidly to suppress the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
“okay” Fiona got up and turned to Taylor “I’m leaving her to you, make sure she comes for the wedding”
“I’ll do my best your majesty” Taylor said with a curtsey
Fiona took one glance at Miranda and left the room.
“Taylor?!” Miranda broke down in tears and hvgged her “I can’t marry someone else”
“you have to Princess”
“I’d rather take my own life”
“I won’t let you do that” Taylor rebuked “you just have to let go of the past”
“I can’t—” Miranda choked on her tears
“plea-se Princess. You’ll ruin your makeup”
“Taylor help me get away”
“Princess no” Taylor half yelled “they’ll find your before you even leave the palace”
“I can’t”
“you can.. Now look at me” Taylor tilted Miranda’s chin up to face her “you can’t continue to live in guilt okay. Whatever happened is in the past, it’s been five years alre-ady so I want you to put it all behind okay? None of it was your fault, it just happened”
“I don’t want to marry Andres”
“you don’t want to marry anyb©dy—-”
“Miranda?! Miranda?!” King Sebastien shouted approaching Miranda’s room
“The King is coming.. He can’t see you like this” Taylor got up and hurried to get the door.
“where is Miranda?” he asked sternly
“we’re almost done your majesty” Taylor replied softly
“where is she?”
“in here father” Miranda replied from within “I can’t run away even though I’m in nee-d of a prison break right now”
“Forgive her manners your majesty” Taylor st©pped him when he tried charging into the room
“I want to see her now” he stated and walked out.
Taylor heaved and sigh and went back into the room.
“Let’s go Princess” she said softly “you can do this”

“… I take you to be my p@rtner for life,
I promise above all else to live in truth with you
And to communicate fully and fearlessly,
I give you my hand and my heart
As a sanctuary of warmth and peace
And pledge…” Miranda paused and took in a de-ep breath
“Go on Princess” the priest urged
Miranda glanced at the congregation and met the murderous eyes of her father that was glaring daggers at her. She shifted her gaze to her groom and continued with her vows.
“I pledge my love, devotion, faith and honor…” She observed another pause and the crowd started murmuring. Prince Andres arched a brow at his bride and she went on.
“As I join my life to yours.”
Prince Andres breathed out in relief and started his vows.
“Miranda, I was drawn to you from the day we met. Your warm and inviting eyes and your magnetic smile softened my tough façade immediately. I remember wanting to have, and sometimes make, reasons to talk to you. To see you beam that amazing smile back at me, immediately putting me at ease and brightening my day.
I knew from the very moment I la-id eyes on you that you were my forever. Someway, somehow, I was determined to make you mine. And from this day forward my heart is entirely yours….
As we continue to grow in our lives together, I promise to give you all of my words when nee-ded, and to share in the silence when they are not, to pick you up if you are down, to love you unconditionally, to l@ymy ba-re skin on you when nee-ded most, to care for you and our families for as long as we live, to adventure with you always, to say I love you before falling asleep each night, to be the best dad I can be as we grow a family together, and to always know in the de-epest p@rt of my soul, that when challenges arise we will always find our way back to one another.
Miranda, you are my everything and this is my promise to you.”
Loud cheers rented the room as the congregation bur-st into a round of applause. The priest blessed the rings and they exchanged the rings.
“you may now k!ssyour bride” the priest added
At first, Andres was reluctant. What if she had a dagger and re-ady to stab him once he drew near. He sm-irked at his furious bride summoning courage and planted a chaste k!sson her cheek.
“Congratulations!” filled the room as Andres led his newly wedded wife down the aisle.
“Congratulations son” Amalia greeted Andres and hvgged Miranda who faked a smile. Once they were down the aisle Miranda withdrew her hand from Andres’ grip.
“and it’s a good thing to bound our relationsh!pin a ceremony like this” King Sebastien told The Duke as they walked to the newly wedded couple.
“and he’s finally a husband” Jimmy tea-sed, shoving up with the others when the parents had left
“Cool Princess” Daniel win-ked
Princess Miranda scoffed “excuse me”
“now what’s up with the cold shoulders?” Spiky asked as his eyes followed Miranda
“she has been all cold and grumpy and she ba-rely said I do” Scott added
“she hates me” Andres blurted out and the guys bur-st into laughter
“cool bro! Your prayers answered” that was Scott sl@pping Andres pla-yfully
“Not so cool” Andres was serious
“Why? You wanted her to hate you at first sight and your prayer got answered— she hates you” Daniel guffawed
“I hadn’t seen her yet and I was crazy to pray for that” Andres said then added “I think the wedding is over now.. I’ve got to talk to her” and he walked off.
He went up to his chambers to meet Princess Miranda. When he entered his be-droom, he found her sitting on the be-d and facing the window with her back to him. She was no longer wearing her wedding dress but a long dress that revealed the ba-re of her shoulders with a small opening that expo-sed her cleavages. Andres’ breeches ti-ght£ñed as he moved closer to her on the be-d.
“why did you wed me?” Miranda asked without sparing Andres a glance.
Andres swallowed ha-rd , trying to put more concentration on what she was saying and less on her b©dy.
“It’s my duty” he simply said
Miranda scoffed and glanced at him with a murderous glare “I’m going to frustrate you until you throw one out throu-gh the window”
“I’ve got a better punishment other than throwing you off the window” his voice were soft as he appraised her b©dy. Miranda got more furious how he was taking everything easy with her.
He kicked the be-d post and she was f0rç£d to look at him.
“you look more pretty dressed on red.. I never really realised that” then he bent to reach her height “guess I never really realised anything”
She yanked off his hand when he t©uçhed her and Andres laughed in his usual sardonic way until he dimpled.
“I plan on ma-king you love me Miranda”
“Not in your life”
“You’re my wife now Sardonyx. I don’t know what made you do that but trust be an going to find out. And I’ll make you a submissive wife”
Miranda scoffed “in your dreams”
“No.. In this be-d” Andres pu-ll-ed her back when she tried getting up
“I’m never going to be a submissive wife.. I’m never going to love you.. Never going to warm your be-d.. Never going to give you the plea-sure you nee-d” Miranda yelled
Andres curved hisl-ips in a lopsided sm-irk “That doesn’t st©p your from being my wife. And trust me Princess, I’m going to tame you”
“I want to see you try” Miranda scoffed “you’re going to end up being bored of me”
“I’m never going to be bored of you princess and I plan on showing you how important you are to me tonight”
“you’re going to have me but not without a fight”
“I’m going to have you without a fight”
“Never.. I’ll fight you with the last drop of my blood”
Andres cli-cked his ton-gue and pushed her down to the be-d “I want to see you fight”
“This marriage isn’t going to work”
Andres chuckled softly “it’s alre-ady working” he held her chin between his thumb and index f!nger and peered into her eyes “I don’t care what it’s going to cost me but I’m going to tame you and make sure you want me as much as I do.. I’m going to make sure of that”
