Never Forget You

Chapter 8- Love Between The Two Souls

Anabelle's POV:

Last night felt surreal but it felt just right....

The night ended with Stefan and I sharing our first kiss of passion and it could not have been anymore perfect. Never have I imagined that I would get back with him after all of those rumours and crap that went on between us for the past 3 to 4 weeks. I just missed him too much to even admit it to his face. Even when I admitted that I loved him...

And now, waking up with him, with my head on his chest as I watched him peacefully sleep, was another feeling that felt just right. I stared up at his face, looking at him sleep so peacefully as he took tiny snores in between making me smile sweetly at him. God he is just adorable...

It's really a sin that this man is the only one in this world who has caught my eye and I caught his. It is surprising to know this because no other man has ever been interested in me other than a measly boy who wanted nothing more than to just stare at me and not love like a man. Just awful...

"You know it is nice to know that I am handsome enough for you to stare at me but I would request you to stop that before I freak out." I heard a voice call me out from my thoughts, making me rise my head and look into my lover's eyes who stare tauntingly at me. His smirk defined the mockery that he was hiding behind that idiotic facade of innocence he put up.

"Yes of course. But at the same time if the roles were reversed, you would not mind that one bit would you?" I challenged, making him smile down at me as he ran his fingers through my curly mane, that seemed to have messed up in my sleep.

"You are definitely correct about that. I would definitely not tire of staring at this beautiful face every morning when I wake up, a face that is curled up next to me, assuring me that I she will never leave me." He said and goodness if that is not poetry I do not know what is because as he says that, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against, stealing away a short peck that had him stare at me like I was an angel. Only a man like him can make me fall in love at first sight all over again...

"Are you feeling any better than yesterday?" I asked, worried about his condition since I did see a bit of blood covering up his bandages. He just sighed and turned around in a dramatic stance.

"Well I felt terribly horrible but now that you are here with me, I feel better now." He said, making me roll my eyes as I swatted his arm lightly, not causing any further damage, as he laughed lightly.

"Stefan tell me seriously, I need to know." I pressed forward to which he just smiled and looked forward.

"I honestly do feel better than before. Don't think that I did not see your eyes go to my bloodied bandages because that blood has dried up. It is not fresh." He said, trying to reassure me with the fact that he never is in any bad or serious condition ever since I came in to see him.

"You still are the biggest asshat in this universe. That has been finalised a long time ago." I said out of nowhere, voicing out my inner frustration at him to which he just chuckled and pulled me close, kissing my forehead. And that never failed to make me relax... Especially being in his arms...

"I know, Ana, and I am terribly sorry for what I did to you. You did not deserve all of what I said to you and it's neither fair for me, especially not for you. Words can never describe how I can ask for your forgiveness. But one thing is for sure," He stopped, just in time for me to lift my face head to look into his hypnotic green eyes, that has got my attention ever since I set eyes on them.

"I promise to never leave your side, even if it means when I will be on my death bed and taking my last few breaths, because believe me Ana, I love you with my heart and soul." He finished, and I can almost feel myself crying before he pulls me in for a long, passionate kiss that got us both smiling and breathless. I love this man till the end of time...

3rd Person's POV:

"Charles I think we should stop this game and get to business what do you say?" The younger more devious brother chipped in, making the old king scowl at what he suggested during a more difficult and stressful time.

"Henry I would suggest not to talk about kingdom matters for now. Can you not see my son in grave condition?" The old man stressed making the vile man roll his eyes as he wondered what might be the most dire thing about this entire situation.

But what the two men did not know is that the prodigy son is with the love of his life, getting ready to face the world together after the storm they faced together. They promised each other to never leave each other's side, no matter the crap they face.

Both of the old men's bickering stopped once they heard an unfamiliar sound of twin footsteps, coming down the staircase, making both of them snap their heads as they were shook to their core taking in what they saw.

It was none other than the prodigy son Stefan and the beautiful heir Anabelle descending down the stairs, their hands intertwined in a passionate lock, showing their current status to the royal seniors. Charles cannot take his eyes off of the two soon to be heirs as they came down the stairs, smiling and in love when just a few days ago the couple were in a never ending quarrel.

The youngest prodigy of the Voldor family stood at the far corner looking at the two powerful heirs come down the stairs with a smile on her face, thanking Ana for her late night visit at the castle, and mending things with Stefan. She just wishes that the two of them stay that way forever...

Meanwhile, on the other side, the vile Henry stared at the young couple that seemed very powerful in his eyes, envying their connection as he cursed Louis in his head. God if he had just acted right we would not be in this predicament....

On the other hand, the young couple could not keep their eyes off of each other, with Stefan being the first one to lock eyes with the young girl who can not seem to control her face from flushing completely. She just wishes that her relationship with Stefan would stay the same until they die.

"Stefan! My goodness it is so good to see you, my boy!" The old King exclaimed as he walked to the young couple and took Stefan in a loving hug, missing the interaction he used to have with his son, as Anabelle stood there with a big smile on her face.

"It is good to see you too, father." The young prodigy replied back with an appreciative smile, missing the words and comfort of his old man.

"Stefan! My boy! How have you been?" Henry chipped in, making the most blissful and comfortable moment uncomfortable with his presence as Stefan stiffened before he pulled away from his dad and nod his head towards the younger and less appreciated brother of the brute that injured him.

"It is good to see you too, Uncle Henry. I have never been better of course. Last night was... inexplicable and beautiful." Stefan replied back, relaxing his shoulders as he turned around to look at his one and only true love who only smiled at him lovingly, making his uncle scowl in distaste, as he tried his best to keep a fake smile plastered on his face.

"Wonderful. And And I see that we have a new addition to the family." He piped suddenly interested in Anabelle who stood her ground and put up a strong uphold against the vile man.

"Oh yes of course. Uncle Henry, this is Anabelle Jones, Queen Victoria's next heir and daughter. She is also the love of my life." Stefan introduced Anabelle before he held his hand lovingly.

"It is so nice to meet you Anabelle." The vile man said as he came forward to hold Ana's hand and kiss the back of her hand, and Anabelle could have sworn that she felt more sick by the second as she stood in this man's presence.

"Likewise, Sir Henry. I have heard quite a lot about you." Anabelle replied, taking her hand from the vile man's capture as he chuckled darkly.

"Well I hope they are all good things." He said winking at her as she tried her best not to puke on the spot.

"Trust me you do not want to know." She said, as the vile man's smug face fell, making way for Stefan's snicker behind him.

"I am so delighted to see the two of you have mended things up and to know that there will not be any disturbance after that." Charles chipped in happily, as the brunette blushed profusely.

"Yes father. I can assure you that we will never have any problems there on. Ana and I are perfect for each other and we will stay that way until the end of time." Stefan declared, as he looked at his lovely lady lovingly, making her smile.

The Voldor family seemed very happy of the news that they have received, well all except Henry and Louis, who has been locked in the cell for 2 weeks since the accident. The two men seemed to have it all planned for the Voldor family. They just have to wait for the right time...

"Charles, since young Stefan is now up and healthy, don't you think that we should let young Louis out by now? I think that he has enough." Henry suddenly piped up, suggesting the idea of letting his son out, completely destroying the happy moment that the royals were sharing.

"Henry, I don't think that that we should let him out soon, I mean you did see what he had done to Stefan. I think we should lock him up for a few more days, just until I think it's clear to do so." Charles said with finality, making the vile nod his head in agreement, but in reality he just wanted Louis to get out as soon as possible, because time is running out and he needs to take over the Voldor kingdom fast. They just need to do it smart and steady...
