Chapter Six: Plan.
1021 Words
CHASE.
I walked into my bedroom, absentmindedly. I had not been expecting to see Kiara today. In fact, I had not been expecting to see her at all.
I thought that I was already over what she did years ago but seeing her brought back all of the memories that I was convinced I had forgotten.
She had betrayed me badly, and even made a fool of me.
What was worse, she even had a kid, which meant that she could be married. How could she be married and living a good life?
It was as if nothing ever mattered to her at all. I never mattered at all!
I suddenly felt pathetic for even caring about her and our past. When I saw her face, I was forced to admit that I had indeed missed her.
But she, she was having the best time of her life!
I wondered whom she was married to. Her son looked like he was about five or six years old. Which meant that he immediately got together with someone else after she betrayed me.
I sighed. I told myself that I was not going to care about her anymore. I was just going to focus on my relationship with Kylie.
I felt drained whenever I thought about Kylie. She had been by my side for the past six years, since her sister's betrayal. I knew that she was waiting for me to get married to her and make her the Luna but I just did not have strong feelings for her.
However, I didn't want to hurt her, since she had been nothing but kind to me.
As if on cue, someone knocked on my door.
"Your Highness," someone called as he knocked on my door.
I walked over to the door and opened it. It was a palace guard.
"What is it?" I asked, irritated. I wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone.
"Miss Kylie is here to see you. She is currently waiting in the tea room," He informed me.
I wanted to dismiss her, but my encounter with Kiara was clear on my mind.
I sighed. "Tell her that I would be with her shortly," I replied.
.....
When I entered the tea room, Kylie was indeed waiting for me. She had a sad look on her face but her eyes immediately lit up when she saw me.
"Chase!" She called out to me.
I nodded my head and walked over to her.
"What are you doing here? It's so late already?"
"I… I wanted to come see you. We haven't seen each other in a few weeks now. I was getting worried," Kylie looked up at me with a worked look in her eyes.
I knew that she was always paranoid about our relationship, but I had never really done anything to reassure her. I just let her be.
I should really focus on our relationship. Kiara had already moved on a long time ago and it was as if she didn't even care at all. There was no need for me to be conflicted over my past feelings for her.
Yes, that was definitely what it was. Past feelings. They were just past feelings that were resurfacing.
"I am sorry about that. I have just been busy these past few weeks. Once I'm free, I'll spend some time with you," I assured her.
Kylie's eyes lit up even more when I said this. She looked really happy to be hear this.
"You mean that, don't you Chase? You're really going to spend some time with me?" Kylie asked me..
"Yes, I will,"
"Well, since it's already late, you should be on your way home now. I don't want you getting in trouble on your way back," I told her.
The smile fell off her face when I said this.
"I… since it's late, can't I just spend the night here today? Actually Chase, we've been engaged for so long and..."
I did not let her finish. I knew where she was headed. Although I had already decided that I was going to repair my relationship with her, I wasn't ready for that leap yet.
"No, you should go back home," I said firmly, hoping that she would get the message.
Kylie forced a smile on her face but it seemed that she was about to cry instead.
"Okay, I get it. Actually, Chase, you can tell me if you're not over my sister. What happened six years ago was a big blow for all of us, really,"
I felt bad when she said this. She had always been kind and understanding, and I had always been distant.
"Why are you bringing her up all of a sudden?"
"I am sorry. I am just worried. I don't want to feel like I am forcing myself when you're not over her yet. Besides, although she did something absolutely horrible she is my sister. I know how charming she is and that it will be hard to forget her," Kylie dropped her head as she said this.
This made me feel even more bad for her. I wanted to hug her but I held myself back.
"You are thinking too much. I have absolutely no feelings for her at all. It's been six years already," I knew deep down I was lying to Kylie and myself, but I wanted to believe these lies badly.
Kylie looked up at me hopefully. "Are you sure about this?" She asked me.
"Yes. So you should stop worrying and go back home. I'll find you when I am no longer busy," I assured her.
Kylie nodded her head. She smiled at me before she turned to leave..
I sat down on a chair, tiredly. Thoughts of Kiara still consumed me. No matter how hard I tried, I could not forget her, and the fact that she moved on so easily and even had a kid with someone else.
I really wanted to know who she had a kid with. And even though I knew it was crazy, I started hatching a plan in my mind.
