Mated To The Fairy Princess

Caught

Luna's POV

I didn't want to get angry and ruin my day so I decided to arrange my clothes in the space Mark had created for me in the big closet. I zipped open my backpack and carefully placed my clothes in the closet. Just then, I realized that I needed more clothes because the ones I had were too few for a royalty like me. I might not be a princess right now but that doesn't stop me from acting like one.

I was still lost in my thoughts when my magical necklace vibrated accompanied by a beeping sound. This was a sign that someone from my world was trying to get access to me.

I stopped whatever I was doing and held unto my necklace with my eyes tightly closed. After a few seconds, I heard some hushing sounds like that of a mighty wind running through a tunnel and all of a sudden, it seized . Silence took over and then, I knew I had connected to my world.

"Head princess, are you there?" Mirabel called from the other end.

"Yes. How are you?"

" I am fine and you?"

" I am fine" I lied.

Even the word - fine, sounded so weird to my ears. How can I be fine when I have missed my family, people and all the privileges I have always enjoyed since I was born.

I jerked out of my thoughts when i heard Mirabel coughing. "Mira, are you sure you are okay?" I asked, worriedly.

" Yes I am. It's just a cough, I will be fine" She insisted. " You should be more concerned about what mum would do to you"

" How do you mean?" I asked, confused.

" Mum just found out about your absence and she is going crazy. The kingdom is in chaos, I wonder what she would do next." She dropped the bombshell.

" Just as expected. But you must never act as if you know a thing, okay?"

It wasn't really a surprising news to me. Mum was bound to find out about my disappearance sooner, I mean I'm not just the head princess but also her favorite daughter.

" Yes but someone will have to tell mum that you are fine because she is already worried sick thinking that something bad has happened to you"

" You don't have to worry about that. I know mum, she will soon find a way to know about my whereabouts" I replied.

My mum is the queen afterall and not just that, she is also powerful. After she took over the throne, she knew she had to acquire as much power as she could gather in order not to get suppressed or overlooked by some annoying cabinet members who thinks women are not fit to be a ruler.

" Are you sure you will be fine. Mum is not going to spare you if she finds out about this. I think you should sneak back home before things goes out of hand "

" Don't worry, I know how to handle mum." I bragged. " But you must never forget, you don't know anything about my whereabout neither have you ever contacted me since I left the kingdom"

This was for her good. Mum might pardon me for coming to planet earth but she will not spare Mirabel if she finds out that she was my accomplice.

I was about asking her about Diana when I suddenly felt a soft push which forced me back to reality. I opened my eyes to see a familiar face staring at me with a puzzled look, I let go of the necklace as it dangled freely down my neck.

Dave's father!

What was he doing here?. I quickly tuck in my necklace into my polo.

"Is everything alright?" Peter asked, worriedly.

"Yes of course. I am totally fine" I giggled, nervously.

He looked at me with furrowed brows "Are you sure? I have been knocking on the door for a while and was about leaving when I discovered that the door wasn't locked. So I opened the door only to meet you standing here with your eyes closed. Is there something you are hiding.?"

I raised my eyebrows in shock. Is he suspecting me?. I wiped off the beads of sweats that had suddenly formed on my face as I couldn't help but notice that the room was weirdly hot.

" What.. do you mean sir? " I stuttered.

" Mark asked you not to have anything to do with us right? That's why you refused to let me in when I knocked. Isn't?"

Oh. That's what he meant. Thank goodness.

I huffed a laugh even when I knew that nothing was funny. "You are indeed your son's father."

He shrugged. " I thought as much. I saw him leaving the house in anger. Looks like you guys had an argument"

" Uhm..kind of.. I was just trying to convince him to go to work instead of staying idle."

Peter chuckled. "Just as you have seen, Dave wasn't like this before. You can attest to it that he was so hardworking and dedicated that most people in the office concluded that he was fit to be the next CEO"

" Yeah. And it still amazes me why he would change all of a sudden." I said with confusion clearly written on my face.

" I did. I made him change"

"You made him change?" I repeated in disbelief. "What do you mean by that?"

He let out a deep breath. " I once cheated on my wife when she was still alive. I regretted my action and never went back to it but one day, I received a call from Sarah my present wife, telling me that she was pregnant."

I threw my head back in shock.

He continued. " It was one of the worst news ever and I tried to cover it up from getting to my precious wife but it finally got to her. At that point, I was scared that she was going to file for divorce but she didn't. She still forgave me and gave me a chance to become a better husband and father" Peter sniffed.

I was already teary eyed.

" Few days after my wife's death, Sarah threatened to tell the media lies about us, if I don't take her and our son in and give them the right they deserved".

" And you agreed to it?" I exclaimed.

"What would you have me do? It's my mistake and I have to take full responsibility of it. But unfortunately, it didn't go well with Mark who felt that I never loved him, Jessica or his mum and concluded to live carelessly just to grieve me. But believe me, I have never stopped loving them for once" I could feel sincerity in his voice.

Poor Mark! He really must have gone through a lot. No wonder he is so cold.

" Is this your wife?" I asked, staring at the huge portrait of a pretty woman which was hung on the wall just above Mark's bed.

"Yes. I still miss my wife a lot" he replied sadly.

I totally understood how he felt. I also miss my mum and dad so much. I miss Mirabel, my kingdom, everything. I blinked my eyes trying to stop the tears from dropping.

"Luna can I ask you a favor?" Peter suddenly asked.

" Anything, sir" I sniffed.

"Can you please make Mark to start working again?"

" What?" I exclaimed.

I didn't just hear right.

"I am scared that Mark will live the rest of his life suffering in penury and pain if he continues like this. Please I need your help to return him to his old self. I want the old hardworking and dedicated Mark. I need my son back" I saw a tear drop from his eyes.

Ugh. Why would he ask that from me? I'm not some kind of magician who can change people anytime and anyhow it pleases me.

" I..I.. don't think..I will be able to do that" I stuttered.

" Please just say yes. After his first relationship, I have never seen Mark take another lady home. But everything changed when he met you. I have this feeling that you can change him "

Tsh. That jerk only agreed to take me home because he wanted to make my life miserable.

" I...

I tried to say but he cuts me off. "You care about him too, right?. I mean why did you still insisted on staying with him even after knowing that he is now poor?"

I swallowed hard. If only he knows that I accepted to come live with Mark because that is the only way I can easily find out the link between him and the cause of Mirabel's ailment.

"I am really sorry sir. But I can't"

"I will give you anything you want. Anything" Peter insisted.

Anything? Like money?. This is what I have always wanted. Moreover, if Mark agrees to start working; it is going to be to my own benefit too.

"Fine..I will try my best to change Mark but I can't promise you anything" I agreed and he nooded positively as his eyes glittered with huge hope.

"And you will have to continually give me money for I and Mark's upkeep"

"Definitely. I will do that"

" And one more thing, Mark mustn't find out about this or he would lose his trust in me"

" Your secret is safe with me. Thank you so much" Peter assured with a wide grin.

" My pleasure"

" Okay.. I'll get going before Mark gets back" He said and walked out. I let out a deep sigh as he closed the door behind him.

Nice deal Luna. Finally, I can now live like a princess that I am. I can't wait to go for shopping again or probably, get a new car.
