The Devil In Guise - Chapter 117

******

The Author’s POV.

The next morning, Stefan woke with Angelina by his side. The wedding was between him and  Amara but he ended up spending the night with another woman. (Not a normal thing but I like it ????)

He looked at her calm face. She seemed at peace. Her eyes were shut. Stefan got up from the bed without waking her up , carefully, he opened the door and went downstairs.

Her family were having breakfast. Zev was having an argument with his wife. They were talking about him.

“Why did you allow him to spend the night here ?” Zev asked, in a low tone.

“I did not know the prince was going to spend the night here. He never came out of the room” His wife answered him.

It was true. After Alex closed the doors yesterday, he did not open or went out side the room.

“He is a married man. People will say Angelina is coming between the princess and her husband.”

“I know but…” Alex started.

“Good morning prince Stefan” Zev said, immediately he sighted Stefan at the stairs.

When they saw him, they changed the topic quickly. He didn’t mind at all. Stefan gave them a smile as he walked to the dinning table.

“Please sit down my prince” Alex said, drawing the chair for him to sit. They were being formal with him and he didn’t like it all.

“Do not worry aunt. I must return back to the palace” Stefan told them. “My mother will be worried if I waste any time .”

“No problem your highness. Thank you for the visit” Zev said with a bow. “Is she awake ?”

Alex had a tray in her hand. Its was Angelina’s breakfast.

“No. She is still sleeping. In case she wakes up , tell her that I will back in the evening” Prince Stefan said, going to the door. “Have a nice day.”

He opened the door and left. His horse was ready, all thanks to Zev.

Quickly the prince rode home with speed. There were a lot of complaints waiting for him at home.

When he reached the giant doors of the palace, the guard informed him that queen mother Daria sent few men to go and bring him home. Impressive, who did she think he was? A child??

Not anymore. He would not tolerate all her intimations. (Really bro? ????)

The maids we’re lined up in the hallway. If queen mother Daria was angry, she made sure that everyone around her get a taste of it. Sometimes, the maids were sent to the garden as workers.

“Where is my mother ?” Stefan asked one of the maid, who could barely look up.

“She is in your room your highness” the maid replied, pointing towards his room.

Stefan wondered what she was doing in his room, this early morning. He opened the door and entered the room.

Everyone looked at him with anger and perhaps hatred. If eyes could kill then he would have been a dead man by now. Stefan ignored them and walked to where his mother was. As usual, he wanted to give her the morning kiss , since he missed the last night kiss because of Angelina.

Smiled. He remembered the kiss he gave Angelina last night. She returned it back, allowing him to traveled his tongue inside of her mouth. Its was not his first kiss, for him had kissed a lot of women before. But , he felt different and wanted more because it was the first kiss from the love of his life.

They also made promises never live each other no matter. It’s was a do or die affair! ????

Moving closer to his mother, she stopped him from kissing her. Her eyes were full of anger and fire. This was not a good sign. He hoped she keeps to her promise of not hurting his love.

Princess Amara was lying on the bed crying. Didn’t she know that this bed belonged to him and not her! What was wrong with her room?

“Stop crying princess Amara , see the prince is back” Queen Natasha said. She held a plate of food. It seemed like Amara did not eat her breakfast. But it did not matter. He was yet to eat his too.

“Greetings mother” Stefan said, with a smile. She tried to tighten her face more. He wondered when last his mother smiled.

No answer. Queen Annabelle smiled as him. A good one, she was trying to communicate with him using her eyes. He winked at her, which indicated that he understood what she meant.

Queen Annabelle was happy with the decision he made and it was clear that she was the only one ready to support him.

Queen mother Daria gave her a hot look. Quickly, she stopped smiling and attended to princess Amara.

Stefan grinned.

“Where are you coming back from ?” His mother turned and asked him. Stefan was surprised by her question. He sent a letter to her last night why the pretense now?

“Mother, I sent you a letter yesterday. Didn’t you read it ?”

I didn’t say that. I read it. Answer my question Stefan” she insisted.

‘Stubborn woman’ he said in his head.

“I went to see Angelina. She is not feeling well.”

“You left me on the altar for that girl? It’s was my wedding night yet she got all the attention a wife should get” Princess Amara yelled suddenly. The other Queens were trying to stop her from standing up. She looked weak and pale.

But he didn’t tell her to marry. She forced her way in to his life when he made it clearly that it’s was Angelina, who he loved.

“Did you see what you caused ?” Queen mother Daria pointed at the girl lying down on his bed. She looked quite sick.

Wait! Does that means two women were sick Because of him? Stefan asked himself. Angelina’s case was understandable but Princess Amara, they never loved each other. She already knew the situation before she married him.

“Forgive me mother” Stefan bowed. He did not want to be disrespectful to his mother again. “I had to leave because of what happened to Angelina.”

They all looked at him. He saw their questioning eyes. They wanted to hear the full story and he would gladly give it to them.

“What trouble has she caused again ?” Queen mother Daria asked.

“She attempted suicide. Thanks to the creator, he saved her mother.”

The queens were shocked as they used their hands to cover their mouth.

“So when did you become a doctor, Stefan . That was not enough reason for you to run to her” Queen mother Daria said, trying her best not to show any concern. Of course, why would she? The girl hurt her son badly. “Don’t forget, Angelina broke your heart Stefan few weeks ago.”

“I know mother but I have forgiven her” he told her.

“To hell with your forgiveness!” Queen mother shouted. “I don’t want the two of you to get any closer. I hope you have not touch her ?”

Stefan sighed. He was not going to answer that question. Nothing happened between him and Angelina last night except for those kisses.

“Mother please, don’t force princess Amara  in to my life, she might get hurt. By the way, my feelings for Angelina hasn’t change” He said, ruffling his hair.

“I refused her in your life Stefan. I am your legitimate wife and she? Angelina is no body, but a girl who never love or care about you” Princess Amara cried. There was no difference between her and queen mother Daria when it came to shouting and yelling!

“Control yourself Amara. You will get all the attention you need. Prepare the room tonight, Stefan will perform his duties as a husband” queen mother Daria commanded.

Really? Was it by force now! There was no way, he was going to touch that woman that laid in the bed smiling.

“Is that clear ?” Queen mother Daria asked. Of course, it was very clear to him that he had to laid on the same bed with a woman, who he did not love. “We are leaving.”

He nodded as the women began to leave the room. When they were gone, Stefan shut the door and turned to Princess Amara “You won right?”

No answer. He continued “I don’t love you Amara, why don’t you understand that. Please, sleep in your room tonight.”

She shrugged and turned to the wall. Was she giving him attitude now?

“I can’t deal with two stubborn women at a time in this Palace” He uttered, with his hands akimbo.

Maybe he was going to spend his night in any of the guest’s rooms. It seemed princess Amara preferred his room and his bed.

Instead of arguing with her, Stefan picked few clothes and went in search of a new room to stay. But only for the main time.
