Jade POV
After ignoring Angelica's call for a few hours, I finally picked up after she kept calling without stopping. When she tried to talk about cutting the call, I threatened her, and she didn't say anything else about the call instead she continued talking about Prince Nicholas.
Angelica cleared her throat as she gave me some advice. "Try to avoid him but don't hit me anymore," she said and I face-palmed myself.
"what was I supposed to do when he is always around me? you told me to avoid him and I did but he is always a big problem and..." I stopped talking and quickly dropped my phone under the pillow forgetting to end the call with Angelica. my door burst open and I watched him walk in.
my nemesis walked in staggering as he made his way towards me. The strong smell of alcohol infiltrated my nose causing me to gag and. rushed to the bathroom. "what the hell is he doing in my room?" I asked my reflection inside in the mirror. "oh," I rubbed my throat as I felt another urge to throw up again.
"Angelica!" Nicholas's voice sounded inside my room. it was so loud to the extent that it resounded around the room. "Angelica;" He shouted yet again.
"what does he want now!" I clenched my fists and walked out of the bathroom. I met him standing in the middle of the room smiling at me as I walked towards him.
"what are you doing here?" I asked him.
Nicholas belched and hugged me so tight that it looked as if I was about to disappear. "I tried so hard to forget you but here I am to you," Nicholas chuckled and kissed my forehead. it gave me a tingling feeling and I didn't make a move to stop him. His touch was soothing and I could barely control my own body around him.
"But do you know why I am here tonight Angelica," He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to himself. "I am going to forget you and everything that we had together," he announced, and I stared in awe surprised that Nicholas was letting go of Angelica. "you and I are not made for one another, and even if I tried to force it then you'll only continue to have problems with Alaric."
what the hell was he even saying? I thought and stared into his eyes. Is this a way of letting me know that he was officially over Angelica.?it was a great thing to know that I wouldn't see him around me any longer but just the thought of that made my heart race quickly and I felt troubled. "Are you leaving me?" I asked sounding like Angelica even though our voices were a little bit different.
"is that not what you want when you slept with Alaric and also got engaged to him," he pointed to the ring on my middle finger.
Damn, he was right. Angelica had betrayed his trust and now, he was leaving her.
"I am going to take it as a yes," Nicholas said when I didn't give him a reply. "I'll surely be here wishing you and my brother well because you both deserve it," he hiccuped and let go of my hand. He walked towards my bed and lay on top of it.
"prince Nicholas!" I tapped him to wake up but he didn't budge. when I hit him again, he grabbed my hand and I fell on top of him. "what are you doing?" I shouted at him and tried to free myself from his hold. in the process, my hand knocked down the pillow where I kept my phone. I saw that Angelica never ended the call and it was still recording meaning that she had listened to the conversation. "stupid," I muttered and reached out for the phone but I couldn't as Nicholas pulled me tighter into his arms and captured my lips unaware.
"I want you so badly Angelica and, to be honest," he muttered in between the kiss. "I can't do without you," he leaned in to kiss me again and u welcomed his lips. I could have pushed him away or tried to tilt my head to another side but I didn't do any of that and allowed him to continue kissing me. I went as far as wrapping my hands around his neck and in that process, the kiss deepened, and his hands roamed around my body.
The memories of our night together appeared in my head and I could clearly remember how his hands had roamed my body, touching my hard n*****s just as he was doing right now while his tongue does wonders to my neck and lips.
"I haven't said to you in a while but you smell different," he inhaled my scents.
"I....."
"Hush," he placed his hand on my lips and leaned in to kiss me again. "I love the way you smell."
my heart leaped with joy because I knew that he was talking about my smell and not Angelica's. Even though he sees me as Angelica, there was still something that makes a difference and he noticed that.
"Angelica," he chuckled and stopped touching me. "we shouldn't be doing this since you are already engaged to my brother. Doing this only proves that we are traitors," he said and I took that as a cue to push him off me.
"if that is all then please kindly leave my room," I begged him.
I tried to stand up again and he grabbed my hand again pulling me into his arms. "what the hell are you doing?" I slapped his hands but his grip become too tight and it was useless fighting against his hold. "I want you to be mine but you are pregnant and to be honest, I don't care Angelica, and if you will give me the chance to prove myself to you then I can...." he belched.
my heart raced so fast that it seemed that it would burst. I held my beating heart. what the hell was this feeling?
