The Royal Baby

What was it for?

Jade's POV

"why?"Prince Nicholas asked as he made his way into the room.

My heart raced as he moved closer to me and the thought of the night we had suddenly flashed in my memory. why was I thinking about that? I have no idea but seeing him standing so close to me was a lot to comprehend. " Prince Nicholas!" I coughed and stood up from my bed. I lowered my head hiding my face away from him. Even though I had successfully impersonated Angelica by using my makeup skill, I could still make a mistake and get caught if I failed to emulate Angelica.

"Angelica!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms. He held me tight and placed his head on my shoulder. "I know you are lying about the pregnancy and you are doing this just to spite but I'll forgive you Angelica if you tell me that you are sorry. I could call off the engagement too and give you the life that you want. "

That was such a nice thing to say because if I was Angelica, I could jump on that offer but I wasn't. I was just her substitute and I had to follow Angelica's rule which was staying away from Prince Nicholas.

"That is not what I want prince Nicholas," I said to him and tried to free myself from his grip but he held on tightly to my arms never letting me go.

"what happened between us that made you change like this huh?" he asked and heaved a sigh. "we promised to grow older together and now you are pregnant for my brother," he scoffed. "what was it for Angelica?" he hugged me tightly as I tried to free myself from his grip. "I am never letting you go and even though I might sound like a complete psycho, I would never let you go!"

His strong arms bought warmth to me and I could let him hold me In his arms forever but Angelica's warning resounded in my head and I knew that staying around Nicholas would bring nothing but a huge disaster. prince Alaric could see us together and it would ruin my plans. I had to make sure that Nicholas stayed away from me and the only way to do that was to make him feel rejected by him. I had to reject him for him to see that both of us could never be together. "I don't want to be with you again!" I shouted and pushed him away with all our strength.

I staggered backward as I felt Nicholas's warmth leave my body. "This is it!" Nicholas shouted at me. "what happened to the love that we shared?" he demanded to know and his voice sounded a little harsh as I never expected that he would switch tone like that. "what happened to our forever huh!" He punched the wall close to the entrance and ruffled his hair. "Are you going to let all of that go away, Angelica!"

"What..." I stuttered because I couldn't find the right words to say. I never expected that the bond between them would be as strong as that. I turned my back on him and lowered my head. I couldn't just face him and confessed to not liking him because the memories of the one night stand we had were still in my head and although I couldn't what happened between us, his presence alone was confusing for me and I couldn't control my emotions around him. "I don't love you anymore prince Nick and I..." I gasped as Nicholas moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "what the hell are you doing?"

"Please Angelica," he begged. "you are my world and the only woman that I will ever love. "

say that to the real Angelica, not me! I thought. Prince Nicholas refused to give up even though I attempted to be freed from his grip. "I don't love you!" I yelled.

"But you can barely control your emotions around me," Nicholas and turned me over until I was facing him. I tried to avoid looking into his eyes but his strong hand raised my chin to face him. "you can't even look me in the eye because you are affected by me. "

I scoffed and tried to remove my hand from his. "you must be crazy!" I yelled at him. "I am not affected by you or anyone because. " He shut me up by kissing me on the lips. I was dumbfounded and I closed my eyes to welcome his lips. He placed his hands behind my ears and the kiss deepened. I felt tingles all over me and suddenly, the images of our one-night stand flashed in my head, and I remembered everything that happened between us.

"Angelica!" Alaric's voice sounded outside the room. "where are you?" he asked.

my eyes fluttered open as the realization dawned upon me that we were about to be caught by Alaric. I tried all I could do to push Nicholas away but instead, he deepened the kiss giving me no room to speak.

"Angelica!" Alaric's voice sounded yet again as he reached the door. He knocked and my heart skipped twice. "The Queen said that you are here!" He shouted and hit the door. "Angelica!" Alaric's footsteps sounded as he walked away from the door. "I guess you ain't here either. "

Nicholas refused to let go of me and deepened the kiss and kissed me roughly. I couldn't fathom why Nicholas and his brother were at war. why were they waging war with each other over Angelica? if she had loved Nicholas then she wouldn't have slept with Alaric. His reactions to the kiss made it seem as if he was trying to prove to Angelica that he could be a better man but that wouldn't help because I had to avoid him. unable to go on with the kiss, I kicked him in the nuts and he finally stopped kissing me and placed his hands between his legs.

"f**k!" he yelled. "That's hurt, Angelica. A simple warning would have been better than you hitting me in my family jewel!"

I frowned at his fake attempt to crack jokes. "what was that for?" I asked him.

He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't hear what I have said. "why did you kiss me like that and even when you heard Alaric's voice, you still went on with it!" I yelled at him. "Are you planning on humiliating me!" I yelled at him. "is that why you are doing all of this hug?" I frowned at him.

"Listen, Angelica," he tried to move closer to me.

"Don't you dare move closer to me!" I shouted at him. "stay the hell away from me!" I warned him and tried to walk past him but he grabbed my hand and tried to pull me once again into his warmth. "stop!" I kicked his hand away and his eyes widened at what I had done.

That is one of my skills baby!

learning how to fight since five was not a terrible idea and I am glad that I learned a few things before leaving. "Don't you ever touch me again!".I warned him and walked out of the room leaving him standing alone at the center of the room.
