🌼Chapter 9🌼
Jasmin :
.
I was hurt and embarras-sed over Arden’s behavior today. I couldn’t help but drive to my father’s palace with tears. They hate it when I cry and now I’m broken.
” Father..” I sob and walk into their room.
” Who made you cry ?” Mom ask at once as she get up to comfort me.
” Arden…”
” Arden again ?” Father growl.
” I saw the slave girl in his bathroom having a bath in a bathtub. I confront her over her actions and Arden had to yell at me. I’m loosing him to her. He doesn’t care about me anymore.”
” What’s wrong with that royal family ? My daughter is not a toy not meant to be used. What’s wrong with Arden ? Jasmin is quitting that relationsh!p..” mother yell.
” I nee-d to talk to his father..” dad pu-ll-ed out his phone and place a call throu-gh.
” Turner , are you aware your son hurt my daughter again ?” Dad was quiet for a minute before replying.
” What do you mean by that ? For Pete’s sake we’re royals too. Why would your son treat my daughter like trash ? Is he out of his mind ?”
” I can tolerate anything but not anyb©dy hurting my daughter. She’s beautiful and she has a lot of suitors. Why would Arden thinks he’s managing my daughter ? My daughter isn’t coming back to that relationsh!pexcept you fixed things with your family.” With that , he hang up.
” Jasmin go to your room and have a nice bath. Eat good food and relax your nerves. Arden doesn’t worth your tears including every other man. I will not sit back and watch Arden misuse my only diamond. Now wipe those tears…” Dad scolded as mom wipe my tears off.
” It’s okay. He’s gonna beg for you..” I think that’s when I’m dead. Arden doesn’t plead to a woman.
It’s not even close to possibility. He’s such a psychopath as-s-hole.
” Thanks mom. Thanks Dad.” Mom flash me a smile and I walk out of their room.
I text kourtney to come over to keep me company , at least it will save me the stress of thinking about him again. Ever since we started d@t!ng, it’s always one issue or the other. And he’s the cause. I can’t even move on , cause each time i try , I see myself going back to him.
” Jas..” Kourtney called as she shut my room door.
I sniffle and sit on the chair opposite the dresser.
” What did he do ?”
” Everything’s falling ap@rt. He cares about her more than me.” She wipe my tears and sigh.
” What makes you think so ?” I Chuckle insanely and wipe the waterfall falling from my eyes.
” I know so. She’s gradually taking over his heart but Arden won’t admit it.” kourney roll her eyes and ca-ress my hair.
” What are you planning to do ?”
” We nee-d a break. I’m tired of crying over one man over and over again.” I said so unsure. If I’m being sincere then I’d say I’m not tired of crying at all.
” You should fight for your man , Jasmin. You can’t let that slave girl steal his heart when she doesn’t belong to him. Jasmin..”
” It’s not that easy. I think he likes her. And maybe soonest , he will be falling in love with her and that’s gonna break my heart.” I clean my eyes again and breathe out.
” And you nee-d to st©p her before he falls in love with her. She’s a witch for fv¢k sake and she doesn’t deserve his heart. And what makes you see her as athreat ? Arden doesn’t even like women. I mean in a S-xual way , yeah. But , it’s sort of ha-rd when his heart beat for someone. It’s
not even possible.”
I stand up and cross my arm.
” This is earth and I think everything is possible.” I said and brush my hand against my arm.
” Kourtney , I’m broken.” I mutter endlessly and slump on my be-d.
” You nee-d a vacation ?”
” I don’t mind…” I sit up and wipe the last tear.
” I think I nee-d a bath right now.” I exhale and walk to the bathroom to wash away every punishment in form of Arden. Maybe I can just move on and d@t£ Dylan.
He won’t make me sad. He has his own way of taking care of a woman and i think that’s what i nee-d right now. A real comfort from a nicer person. Most times it’s painful Arden had to be the oldest , he doesn’t even worth the position. I sigh and stay un-der the shower thinking about my life with Dylan instead.
.
ARDEN :
.
” Why are you always like this ?” Mom asks.
I roll my eyes and look around their room. I hate having a conversation that has to do with Jasmin. Right now , she had to report me to her parents. What the fv¢k is wrong with her ?
” I did nothing wrong.”
” Seriously ?” Dad asks.
” It’s not my fault she choose to make alita her rival. What’s wrong with her ?”
” You’re taking that phone and you’re calling her right now.” Mom says.
” And why should I do that ?”
” Because you nee-d to make things right. Jasmin is your chos£n bride and I won’t sit and watch you destroy my throne by flir-ting with your slave.” Dad scowl at me. Why are they doing this ?
It’s always annoying when I’m in a circle of no choice. Mom crossed her arm and glared at me.
” I can’t.”
” Then wait till we take Alita to the coven’s council and tell them their crown prince is in love with his slave and he’s choosing her over his chos£n bride.” Seriously ?
Are they trying to blackmail me or what ? They know I’m not in love with her , how would they even believe that ? Really
” Mom.. Dad..”
” You know what that means. They will str!p you off your power and take Alita’s life. I’m sure you care about your tiny Amazon pet.” I scoff and bit myl-ips.
” You won’t do that.”
” Good. Just watch..” Dad glared at me and take a seat. I breathe in and out as I sighed. This is fruitless.
” You know this isn’t right. I’m not even in love with Alita.”
” Doesn’t matter.” Mom says as she narrowed her eyes with disgust.
” Fine..” I shove my phone out of my pocket and dialed Jasmin’s number. I hate doing this , it’s not like I have a choice anyways.
” Hi..” I said on the phone.
” What do you want ?” Jasmin ask on the other end of the line. She’s just too pompous and annoying.
” I’m sorry if I’m treating you like trash.”
” So what ?” I glare at my parents and sigh.
” So what ? I said I’m sorry.”
” Arden that’s not the way to apologise.” She sh0t at me. I pressed myl-ips together and ran my hands throu-gh my hair.
” Alita shouldn’t be your rival. I’m sorry if you think I care about her more than you.” She kept quiet on the phone and I bet she’s smiling. $h!t , I don’t even nee-d a wife or even wanna be King .
” Okay. I forgive you but on one condition.” What the hell ? Oh damn Jasmin .
” What’s it ?”
” You’ll come pick me up tonight and take me out .” She replied. Is that even a condition ?
” Not tonight. Tomorrow night.”
” Fine by me. 8:pm and don’t be late.” She hang up and I’m frustrated. I was the one who called and yet she hang up on me.
” Satisfied now ?” I ask my parents as they both sh0t me hateful stares.
” Yeah. I will just leave you both.” I turn my back and walk out of their room.
And now I have to deal with that annoying headache in my be-droom.
.
ALITA :
.
I finished packing the things I own . I sit on the couch as someone knocked. Arden will never knock before entering his own room and i hope it’s not who I’m thinking.
” Dylan..” I trail off as I stare at the figure standing outside Arden’s room.
” You have a minute ?” I nodded and walk out as I shut the door behind me.
This isn’t good because of Arden . He’s definitely gonna yell again for breaking two of his horrible rules.
” So…” I trail and bit myl-ip. Dylan seems to find it funny as he chuckle.
” It’s gonna be bad if Arden finds you here.”
” It’s okay. We’re just gonna yell at each other again.”
” And I don’t want that.” He sm-irk and stare at me like a lost bunny.
” Do you still have my number ?”
” Sure. I can’t loose that.” I chuckle and look around in case Arden’s coming.
” I’ll miss you..” I tell him.
” You’ll be fine there. But if you’re not okay and something happens just call me. But I’m sure he’s gonna take good care of you.”
” I hate it when someone have to look out for me. I’m not a baby neither am I a child.” I crossed my arm and sigh.
” This isn’t Amazon. People look out for what they care about. You just don’t have to annoy him and I’m sure you’ll be fine.” I smiled softly and look at him.
” Thanks Dylan. I wish I could stay with you without you guys fighting.”
” We’re brothers so it’s normal to fight.” Seriously ? I can’t even remember how many times I fought with my older brothers. Talking about older brother , I miss them again.
” Goodnight..” he pe-ck me on the cheek and smiled at me before leaving.
I blu-shed and I really don’t know why. I hurriedly entered Arden’s room and shut his room door.
I really haven’t talked to anyone about that night. The night i saw that weird lady who talked about himiko. It’s almost nightfall and everywhere seems quiet. hvgo’s dead and most of the slaves
aren’t maltreated again since I killed hvgo. I wish I could fight dagon again.
I curl myself on the couch and l@ystill. I’m still thinking about living with Arden inside one house without fighting with him.
.
The following evening I was seated in the pas-s£nger’s seat in Arden’s car . I think he loves driving himself than having a driver. The ride was tense cause the atmosphere wasn’t friendly. My eyes were glued to the window and Arden is always staring at me.
” Why are you quiet ?” He ask and turn to look at me.
” I’m tired and angry that I have to spend almost every single minute with a man like you.” I tell him and look away from him.
” What happened to a man like me ? Hmm ?” I roll my eyes and bit my f!ngers.
” A lot of things..” I finally said after the long silence.
” Imagine you really have to choose who to live with , it’s Dylan right ?” He asks keeping his focus on the road.
” It’s nice you know.” He chuckle silently and spare me a terrible look.
” That’s so thoughtful of you.” I roll my eyes again and stuck my face to the window.
It’s busy and everyone seems happy over silly reasons. Arden st©p at a red light as he sigh tapping his f!ngerson wheel endlessly.
” I’m hungry.”
” Wait till we get home.” I scoff and cross my arm.
” Am i sharing same room with you again ?”
” I don’t live in a one room ap@rtment.” He scoffs irritatingly and continued driving.
” Yeah. Thought as much.”
” Why don’t you want me to have freedom ? Should I sleep with you to get it ?” I ask him keeping my focus on him.
He turn to look at me as he tried to hide the sm-irk that’s finding it’s way to hisl-ips.
” You will ?” I look away from him and tap my hands on my l@p like someone who’s thinking.
” Can I have new clothes ?” I ask him
” You ain’t going anywhere. Why would you nee-d new clothes ?” I roll my eyes and scoff. I’m tired of his stupid attitude.
His phone rang as he put it on loud speaker.
” Hey..”
” Arden , our d@t£ is tonight.” as-s-hole Jasmin.
” I didn’t forget. You said 8.”
” Yeah. I’ll be waiting.” She hang up and Arden scoff. I bet he cuss in his mind.
He halt his car in front of a fence as the gate open. He drove inside and the gate lock by it’s self. I look out of the window and admire his house. He’s a white freak. I mean white is always among his decorations and with what I’m seeing the inside will definitely be more than beautiful.
” So where are the guards ?” I ask and turn to look at him.
” I’m not a prince outside.”
” So I’m allowed to call you Arden, huh ?”
” Like you don’t usually call me Arden.” He hiss and got out of his car.
I open the door and got outside looking around. I close the door as Arden hand me my bag. He couldn’t even help me with it.
” I’m not your slave..” he utter and walk ahead of me. I roll my eyes and turn to look back at the gate. No guards huh ? I smiled to myself and followed him. I entered the house with him and the
door locked on it’s own.
Yeah , high security.
” Wow..” I mutter to the sight that behold me. A lot of whites in here. Yeah it’s pretty and beyond description.
” Welcome home my prince…” I heard a female voice.
” Oh you have servants here..” i raise my brows at him.
” Luna get her bag..” Arden said as he held my hand leading me upstair. I stare at this pretty brunette and followed Arden behind.
” I thought you said you don’t nee-d guards.”
” Is that a guard to you ?”
” I know she’s a servant. I’m just surprised.”
” Seriously. So who’s gonna do the chores and ? Damn why am I even having a conversation with you ?” I roll my eyes as we walk pas-s the hallway.
” Because you’re a weirdo vampire prince. I just wish you have a change of mind. I don’t wanna be here..” He st©p in front of a door and open it.
” That’s your room.” I peek my head in and stare at this room.
Damn . A large be-d , couch , dresser , closet , TV. Infact everything a woman will nee-d in a room. Thank God it’s not fully white.
” Are you gonna lock me inside again ?”
” Sometimes , yes.” I roll my eyes and cross my arm.
” What if I escape ?”
” You won’t.” He’s so confident and I like it. I laugh and sm-irk.
” What makes you think so ?”
” I know so. You can’t.”
” Because of your servant ?” He shake his head sideways and I scoff.
” Okay.” He turn his back and walk out on me. I take a de-ep breath and walk into my new room. I open the door to the balcony and I saw a large swimming pool there. And poolside bench or whatever it’s called.
I glance at every furniture and i bet it cost a lot of money. I opened the closet and was surprised to see a set of new clothes.
” Wow . When did he buy all of this ?” I slide my hand throu-gh the wares and smiled.
It doesn’t matter to me. I just want freedom. Not living in bondage in a fancy way. I scoff and sit on the be-d. My eyes dart to the balcony.
Maybe I should escape tonight.
