It was now late at night, I got out of Theo and I's bed and tip toed out of our room
I run to Gia's room first, spotting her sleeping peacefully on her bed, clutching onto her white teddy bear
"Gia." I whisper, I poke her side
Her eyes flutter open
"M-mother?" She croaks
I nod quickly "Put your coat on." I order, handing her one of her priceless fur coats
"Why?" She sits up, rubbing her eyes
"We're just going away for a little while, like a vacation."
She nods "Is father coming?"
"Uh, no. But, Grayson is."
We both stand as she finishes to button her coat
I grab her hand and run to Grayson's room
*********************
We are all seated in a large carriage in the back of the castle
I paid a man very well, for him to take us about two hours away
We all sit in silence as we ride away from the castle
"Where are we going?" Grayson looks out of the window
"Mother says we're going on holiday." Gia tells her brother
Grayson looks at me and I nod
"Why isn't father coming?" Grayson quires
"He-"
"Stop in the name of the king!" I hear a guard's voice from behind us
My heart sinks to my stomach as five guards open the door and take Grayson and Gia out carefully
"Your majesty, the king has ordered that you three be taken back to the palace." Jaden tells me
I curse under my breath and wait in silence as we arrive back at the castle
We only got about ten minutes on the road, until we were caught. Nice going Yasmine.
The three of us step into the castle hallway and see Theo running towards us
He kneels down to his children and hugs them both
"My beloved children, I'm so happy that you're okay." Theo says to them, kissing their cold cheeks
I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest
"Mother said we were going on vacation, why are you upset that we left?" Grayson asks his father
Theo looks at me, pure anger in his eyes
"You two aren't going anywhere. Neither is your mother." He looks back to Gia and Grayson
"It's almost one in the morning, go back to bed." Theo orders his children
"Accompany them." Theo looks at two guards
They both nod and led the children to their rooms, leaving Theo and I alone
"You told them they were going on holiday?" Theo's voice is deep and angry
I roll my eyes and turn my back and walk away
"Yasmine!" His voice booms through his empty hallway
I don't stop, I keep going. Trying to get away from him
"YASMINE, IF YOU DON'T STOP IN ONE SECOND YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!" He shouts in a deadly voice
I stop in my tracks, thinking of Theo hitting me or torturing me.
"Get back here." He hisses
I let out a huff and walk back to him
"Do you know who you're dealing with here?" He asks
"I'm not afraid of you." I start to tremble with fear
"I don't care! How dare you leave when I told you not to?! You took away my children! My children!" He screams
"Oh sorry for wanting my children to be safe!" I scream back
"They are safe, nothing has happened to them yet!"
"Yet! You never know!"
He runs a hand through his hair "God, you don't know how much you scared me. I went insane."
"I'm not going to apologize for trying to-"
He slams me up against a wall
"Say you'll never leave me again." He whispers
I shake my head "No."
He wraps his large hands around my neck and squeezes
My eyes widen as I realize what he's doing
"T-theo stop." I claw at his hands
"Say it!" He commands again
His grip tightens and I feel the air being knocked out of me
"I'll never leave you, I promise!" I croak
He lets go of me and I cough
"Say it again." He touches my jawline
"I promise to never leave you." I sob
"I love you so much, don't you ever do that again." He says
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." My vision becomes blurry from the tears
"Shhh my darling. I don't blame you for wanting to leave." He kisses my forehead
"I-I don't want to leave you Theo. I just want to leave this place. But,I love you so much I would never want to leave you." I taste my salty tears
"I believe you."
"I'm just so sorry, after you told me that everyone has left you and then I leave you. I can't even look at you. Forgive me."
He smiles and kisses my lips "I forgive you my darling."
I hug him so tight. not wanting to part from him
He hugs me back even tighter and I take in his scent of mint
"I'm so scared." I say honestly
He kisses the top of my head
"There's no need to be, this Alice will never hurt us."
He picks me up and starts walking back to our room
"Tired?" He asks me as his lays me down on our bed
I nod sleepily
He takes his shirt off and slips in bed next to me
He brings the covers up to us
He presses his naked chest against me and wraps his arms around my body, taking me as his prisoner
"Yasmine," He says against my skin
"Hmm?" I ask, closing my eyes
"I don't want to spend one moment without you by my side, okay?" He kisses my cheek
I smile and kiss his neck "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
