Broken princess

Chapter 9

Ella POV

This was the second time some drunk guys want to r**e me. I had enough. I was currently in a washroom and was washing blood from my hands. I went outside and saw Stella, Olivia, Noah and Aiden sitting. I went towards them and sat beside them.

“Where were you?” Noah asked.

“I was not feeling well, so I went outside” I lied.

“Some people were so much drunk that they were technically dragging me to their cars.” Olivia huffed, and we all laughed. we danced and enjoyed ourselves a lot. I was about to go to the washroom when I bumped into someone.

“I'm so sorry I didn't see you,” I said while rubbing my head. He has a strong body.

“Ella is that you?” the person said

“Um yeah but I'm sorry I don't know you,” I said. Who is he?

“Me Liam? High school....”

“Liam...oh my god what are you doing here,” I said while giving me a hug. Liam was my best friend in high school. He was the son of my father's friend who was also in the mafia.

“I'm Noah's long-lost friend so yeah he invited me.” he laughed lightly.

“Oh wow I'm so happy to see you it's been quite a long time but tell me when you moved to New York,” I asked.

“No, I'm here for business. I will be staying here for a month or so. Noah invited me to his party, so I came, I haven't met him for a long time. He was actually Daniel friend, but he became mine too.” he said. Daniel was Liam's big brother and my childhood crush but no one knows about it except Liam of course.

“Oh, Daniel is here too,” I said excitedly to see some familiar faces.

“Yeah your crush is here too,” he said teasingly.

“Oh shut it. I was a kid at that time ok. I don't have a crush on him anymore.” I said laughing lightly.

“Oh I see Daniel come on,” he said while taking my hand and leading me to our friend's table.

“Daniel see who I found,” Liam said while pointing at me.

“Who,” Daniel asked looking at me.

“Any guesses,” Liam said. I shake my head at his childish ways.

“Um. I can't see her face how will I tell.”

“But I'm sure you remember my voice,” I said while grinning.

“Ella?? what the heck. Oh my god, what are you doing here Principessa,” he exclaimed while giving me a hug.

“Leave me how are you? how's aunt and uncle?” I asked while returning the hug.

“I'm good. everyone is fine,” he said while holding my face in his hands. We both looked into each other's eyes. There were so many unspoken questions, so many emotions in his eyes. Our families were so close. We were like a big family. I was pulled out of my thoughts from the sound of throat clearing. We pulled back and looked at our friends. Stella was smirking while Olivia and Noah were confused and Aiden was angrily gripping the table.

“Oh, I'm sorry they are my family friends. We haven't met in a long time. Liam, Daniel these are my friends.” I said awkwardly.

“Oh...nice come on sit with us,” Stella said warmly. We all settled down and talked for some time. Finally, it was time to go. We bid our goodbyes and I exchanged numbers with Liam and Daniel. We agreed to have lunch on Sunday. I went towards the car I was about to sit when someone roughly grabbed my hand and closed the door and pushed me against it. I looked at the person angrily and was shocked to see Aiden.what had happened to him.

“Who was he?” he barked

“What are you talking about,” I asked confused.

“That so-called family friend of yours,” he said coldly.

“Liam and Daniel?.” I asked.

“Yes. Are you in a relationship with that Daniel or were you f*****g both of them? Of course, you are a w***e and will always be one. Do you know the way you were looking deeply in his eyes? You hate it when I kissed you but you don't mind f*****g those brothers?.” he stated coldly. What the actual f**k. I was very angry and kind of hurt because of his words but I won't show it. I slapped him hard across his face. He stumbled backwards and looked at me in shock.

“Only you can think like that. They are family. They are like my big brothers but still who are you to question me? I left without a goodbye when my parents died. That why we were looking at each other with so many emotions. What do you think of yourself that you can insult me whenever you want then you are wrong Aiden because this is my life and I will do anything I want to.” Did I say with hurt evident in my voice? I went inside my car and went home. I went straight to bed. I was sad and hurt. After hours of twisting and turning, I finally drifted off to sleep.

Aiden POV

I f****d up. I know that. Why the heck did I say those things to her. I sighed and went home. I woke up in the morning and get ready for the day. I went to Ella's house to apologize. I know it was early but I want to meet her and apologize. I pulled in front of her house. I pressed her doorbell and waited for her to open the door. Suddenly the door was opened and Ella was standing there with half eyes closed. She was wearing a pink nightshirt and shorts.

“What,” she asked clearly not fully awake.

“Nice night suit,” I said. Her eyes shot open, and she ran away towards her room. I chuckled and went inside. After a while, Ella came outside now fully dressed.

“What do you want.?” she asked rudely. Okay, I deserved that.

“Listen I'm very sorry for all the things I said. I really didn't mean it. I was drunk and...j-jealous. You were smiling and talking to them, so I was angry. I know I don't have any right to get angry but...look I'm really sorry. Please forgive me.” I said with a sincere expression.

“Wait what did you say? That you were jealous. Why in the world were you f*****g jealous? I'm not your girlfriend, I'm your PA. We are not even friends. You are a cold-hearted monster. You don't even care about other people feelings. I hate you Mr.knight.” she said angrily. She turned to went back but I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. She bumped into my chest.

“I'm sorry ok. I promise you that I won't say such thing ever again please forgive me.” I said pleadingly. She looked at me for a few seconds.

“Ok I forgive you just because I slapped you and I think that's enough punishment.” she grinned at me and I glared at her.

“Don't you dare tell anyone that ok?” I said before pulling her for a hug.

“Um do you want to stay for lunch,” she asked

“No I can't I'm sorry I'm meeting up with Noah and James but I can join you for breakfast.” She grinned at me.

“Let me make something for us” she went to the kitchen and start making breakfast. I watched her like a creep I am.

You love her, don't you? my subconscious mind asked.

No, I don't I sighed

You apologized to her you never apologized. Just admit it my subconscious mind huffed in annoyance. I ignored its voice. After a while breakfast was ready. She had made eggs and bacon. We both eat our food in silence. After breakfast, we talked for some time about our families. I got to know that her parents died in a car accident, and she has no siblings and many things like her likes and dislikes. We also discussed next week vacation. She made some of her stupid rules like no kissing on the lips, no sleeping in the same room to which I disagreed because she was going to act as my girlfriend, so we will have to sleep in the same room. She agreed but said that she would sleep on the couch. It was my mother's idea to make her act like my fake girlfriend, my father and sister don't know about it, they think that she is my real girlfriend because they saw the magazines. My mom thought that it was a great idea to bring us closer. I leave her house at 12 to get ready for lunch with my friends
