Forced to marry the crown prince

Trapped

Kathryn: 

    All I could think to say was "No, no, no, no" How did I not recognize him? How did I let him charm me and fool me?  I had opened up to him and told him the truth about my desires and this is how he repays me?  how could he be so heartless? I looked up at him and he was smiling a devilish smile, he knew he had me trapped but I had to get out while I still could. his smile was impossible to decipher, I couldn't tell what he was thinking but I knew it couldn't be good. "No this cannot be happening right now" I frantically looked around for some kind of escape but his grip on my hand tightened. I tried to pull away from him but he just pulled me in closer to his grasp, I squirmed trying to free myself from him but he was strong. I was stuck, there was no where for me to go, nowhere for me to run. I looked at all of the ladies, they were all staring at me with envious looks. I gave them a pleading look but none of them seemed to notice. The King started to speak. but my mind was spinning too fast I couldn't understand what he was saying, everything was just a blur. I looked back up at the prince and begged, "Please No,anyone but me, please" I don't know why I tried he looked down at me and almost laughed, "No Kathryn, I choose you" when I looked back at all the other ladies I was surprised to see them all bowing, I looked around and everyone was bowing, the servants, the Knights and guards, all the ladies, everyone. I squirmed again trying to break free from his grip but he just held me tighter and pulled me closer leaning down to whisper in my ear, "Kathryn, you are the future queen, stop trying to escape your fate" I looked him dead in the eyes, "Never" I said pushing away from him again, his face went straight and his eyes glazed over and I knew he was angry but I didn't care, he needed to know what he was getting himself into if he was going to do this to me. 

Rafe (the prince): 

    "Never" that word lit a fuse inside of me like never before, no one had ever dared defy me like she was now, I knew getting her to fall in line was going to be no easy task but I had a few ideas. I started walking to towards the castle dragging her closely beside me, she tugged and pulled trying to escape but with every pull on her end I just held her tighter. when we were out of the courtyard and away from all of the other ladies I pinned her to the nearest wall. "Listen Kathryn, I get it you don't want to marry me but you better start behaving or there will be some serious consequences do you understand?" I could see the fear in her eyes but she refused to speak to me and that just made me even more angry. I slammed my hand against the wall right next to her face, "Do I make myself clear" I yelled. she flinched hard closing her eyes and a small tear ran down her cheek, "Yes my lord" The fear in her voice was clear. I don't know when she became so afraid of me but my heart stung at the sight of her fear. I grabbed her hand and we walked, this time she wasn't resisting. Her hand was shaking, I looked down at her and she was just looking at the ground silent, I couldn't tell what she was thinking but I knew that my reaction just then did not help anything, if anything it just made things harder for me. as soon as we got to my quarters the guards opened the door and bowed. after the doors closed she pulled her hand out of mine and stepped away quickly. I tried to step closer but she stepped further away again. "Kathryn, you have to realize that I'm not doing this to hurt you" her head shot up and she looked me in the eyes, shocked "Really! after everything I just told you, after I opened up to you about why I didn't want this and your making me do it anyway? And your not trying to hurt me? please tell me, what are you trying to do exactly?" Her words were sharp and loud, I knew there was some truth to what she was saying but she didn't understand how I felt, she didn't understand how much I have missed her. 'Kathryn, do you really not understand, we were best friends and I loved you and I still do, this whole event wasn't for me to pick a bride it was for me to find you" she looked at me shocked and for a moment I thought that she was beginning to understand where I was coming from. "You don't know do you? Rafe, I was there that night, I saw you and your father. I know what you did" I could feel my face pale. There is no was she knows, no one else was there. "Rafe I watched you kill my father"
