The First Born Prince (On Hold)

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

I looked at Caden in shock. Me and him on a road trip? “Will you get in” Caden snapped as I stood there staring at his face.

I snapped out of my state and slowly eased myself into the passenger seat of this very expensive looking car. The leather chairs felt cold beneath me as I shuffled to make myself comfortable. My hands instantly went to the over extravagant music player but they were slapped away swiftly.

“Don’t touch anything” Caden said gruffly.

I pulled my hand back and placed them in my lap. A soft piece of black fabric fell over my hands which I stared at in confusion. I picked up the piece of cloth and looked over at Caden for answers.

“Put it on” he said as he started the engine.

“Excuse me?” I asked slightly taken a back.

Caden sighed and took the fabric from my hands. He brought it up to my face and tied it around my head, covering my eyes in the process. His hands were gentle as he tied a knot and fastened it to my face.

“What’s this for?” I asked, the darkness making my heart race with anticipation.

I felt the car moving as we set off on our journey “You can’t know where we live. I’ll drive out of the grounds and I’ll tell you when you can take it off” he said sternly.

“Okay” I said quietly, not having the energy to argue “Where are we going though?”

I heard Caden sigh, probably rolling his eyes too. “Didn’t you listen to anything my father said?” he asked, annoyance flooding his tone of voice.

I shook my head, unaware of whether Caden saw me do the action or not. From another sigh, it became obvious that he did. “We have to go see your adoptive parents to see if they can give us any more information on your family”

I sat up straighter in my chair “I thought Eloise sent someone to compel them?”

“No, that will be my job once we’re finished asking them questions”

My eyes watered slightly as it felt as if we were using them only for information. I clear a lump that appeared in my throat before speaking “What are you going to tell them?” I asked quietly.

Caden didn’t respond for a few minutes but I could feel his eyes on me “That will be up to you”

I didn’t respond as I leaned my head back on the head rest. Many thoughts and scenarios were running through my mind that I could use as an excuse for my sudden departure from home. The thought of lying to my parents made me stomach churn but I knew that it had to be done.

We rode in silence for what seemed like hours. Caden’s sharp turns made me bump my elbow a few times on the door which I unsuccessfully glared at him for. A few minutes later the road evened out and we seemed to keep at a steady speed.

“You can take your blind fold off now” Caden’s sudden voice made me jump slightly.

I fiddled with knot for a bit but its tightness made it difficult to untie. I heard Caden sigh for the fiftieth time today and pull the car over to a stop. Two rough hands batted my hands away and a slight tugging sensation made me realise that Caden was helping me.

Sunlight suddenly entered my vision which made me snapped my eyes shut and blink a few times for my eyesight to get back to normal. When everything became clear again, I noticed that Caden’s face was extremely close to mine from where he was leaning over the central consol.
