Months passed, Catherine and I would spend ti together in the library. My love for her grew in those secret etings. She wasn't like the girl in the rumors. She was more than that.
We would see each other almost everyday and would just sit at the corner on the third floor and talk about our dreams. Our real dreams, not the one that was given to use but the one our hearts wanted.
She wanted to travel around the world, go to the north pole to see the polar bears. I thought it was weird but she was really different from other normal girls. She was a princess but she never wanted to follow traditions. She wanted to live in the future and not ddle in the past.
"How about you? What's your dream?" She asked once.
.
I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling.
"When I was in grade school, my only dream was to see my mother again. But I lost hope and gave up on her. When I was in high school, I dread of becoming a teacher. But I know my father wouldn't allow it. Now, I have a new dream but I'm still not sure if that dream will co true."
"What is it? Tell !" She asked while looking at seriously.
I stared into her eyes, then moved my gaze to her lips. Those lips that I've been wanting to taste ever since I t her. And back to her eyes before I answered her.
"To be with you forever."
Her eyes widened. I could see she beca conscious of all of a sudden. Her face was so red while she curled her lips.
I was beginning to get nervous that she would reject . I don't know what got into when I slowly reached out to her, putting my hand to her cheek, touching her. She didn't move and was still staring at .
I slowly moved closer to her, crossing the space between us. When I pressed my lips to hers, she closed her eyes. I think that was a signal she wasn't rejecting .
Her soft lips taste like vanilla. It was so sweet that I couldn't stop myself from tasting it. I deepened the kiss when she slightly parted lips and responded to my kisses.
I wanted to touch her more but I was still afraid that she would stay away from after. She moaned softly when I bit her lower lips and sucked it gently.
When I pulled away from her, we were both gasping for air. I leaned my forehead to hers, making small kisses to her lips.
"Hey, what's your answer?" I asked, nervously.
She bit her lips before giving a quick kiss then smiled at .
"I want to be with you, too." She answered.
I was so happy when she said those words, and slamd her lips with mine to continue our kiss.
We beca a couple without the knowledge of everyone. I wanted to shout to the world that she's mine and I am hers, but I couldn't. I was so afraid of my father.
I wanted to tell Chris and Lucia about Catherine, but I don't want to involve them in case my father found out about my love affair.
But the day that I've been fearing ca, father found out about our relationship. To my surprise, he didn't get mad and didn't even try to stop from seeing her. It was very unusual of him.
When I talked to Catherine, I was shocked when she suddenly slapped on the face calling a liar.
"You're a liar! I thought you're different from your father! All the things you told was just a way to get . Liar!" She told over and over.
At first I couldn't understand why she was mad at . Then it suddenly hit . Father did sothing behind my back. I found out he talked to Catherine's father, the king, telling him our relationship. Father wanted an arranged marriage between the Forelli Clan and the royal family. It wasn't because of , it was because of the power he would gain out of that marriage.
He told the king all the things I've for him. All those bad and illegal things. I wanted to explain to Catherine but she wouldn't let . She suddenly didn't talk to and never ca back to the library.
I was so devastated when she stopped seeing but my heart was shattered when I found out she was seeing another guy, Benjamin Miller.
I couldn't control my anger because I felt betrayed. I thought she was the one. I thought she was different. I don't know what I was thinking that day. All I wanted was to confront her and ask her if she still wanted to be with , so I sneaked inside the palace to look for her.
When I found her in her room, she was startled and I could see a mixture of fear and anger in her eyes. She looked at like I was a complete stranger.
"Catherine, please let explain. Please don't leave ." I begged.
Instead of listening to , she threw an envelope with so pictures inside. It was having sex with two different won in two different occassions. It was the day I beca a made man.
n from a Mafia clan would need to kill and have sex with won to beco a made man. It was like an initiation to us. Father made do it but I couldn't bla soone else just to clear my na. It was who did all those things, not my father.
"So what do you want to tell ? That it's not you? I don't need your explanation. Get out or I will have to call the guards." She said in a serious tone.
I tried to walk towards her but she took a few steps backwards. I could see that her body was trembling but I'm not sure if it was from anger or fear.
"I thought you wanted to be with . I thought you loved . Why can't you just at least listen to my explanation?" I said in an almost shaking voice.
I was surprised when she suddenly let out a mocking laugh. I looked at her and she was smirking.
