Our Little Secret

• Chapter 27-Ruined Her Life •

I had dinner in the kitchen and came to my room.I took a shower,changed into my silk nightwear like any other night and called Adrien.

He answered but...neither of us spoke up.I knew he was there and I think he knew I was here too.Then he hung up and facetimed me instead.

"Reine,we need to talk.""W-W-Why would you say that?Is something wrong?We need to talk sentence never ends well,Adrien."He nodded."It probably won't.But we do."

I nodded."Ok.Tell me.""Not over the phone.I need to be there when I tell you."I sighed."Two months,huh?"He nodded."I didn't mean for it to take that long.I didn't even know it could take two months,Princess."

"Why didn't you answer my calls?Any of them?Because I called you every day.""I got the voice records.And it was painful enough.I didn't have the guts to call you after I got the first one."

"Why did your father lie to me,Adrien?Why did he lie to me and told me that you did not want to be with me and that is why you left?"

"That's bullshit!"I nodded."I know.Why would you come to the ice rink if you didn't want to be with me anymore,right?"He nodded."Exactly.Look,bunny,I don't know what else my father told you but he's a liar.Unless it benefits him,he will never tell you the truth."

"Can I ask you something that is in some way related to this?I think?"He nodded."Everybody was warning me about the danger I put myself in by just standing next to you and was this 'danger' the reason you left?"

He nodded.

"Reine,I'm going to be honest,they are all right.About the danger,about the warnings...Everything.Why are you not bothered by it?"

"I told you I was fine with them as long as you didn't leave me because of them.You did leave but I know that you didn't leave me."

He sighed."I hate this.Is there any way I could sneak into the house and leave the next morning without being seen?"I scoffed."Of course there is.Who do you think I am?"

"You sneaked out before?""Pfft.Many times.I'll wait for you at the back garden's underground passage way that my father has no idea about.Just come to the back of the manor."

"That's my girl.See you in twenty."We hung up and after got my hoodie jacket,I snuck out to the underground passage way.

I told Esmée about this so she won't freak out.

"This is pretty...narrow."I sighed."It's 4'11.Even need to lean down a bit."He scoffed."I'm 6'5 Reine!"I couldn't help but laugh."Not my fault,buddy.It's the genes or whatever it could be.My parents are both short.6 months ago I was 4'11!"

"How come Joe is tall then?""Have you met Petunia?!That woman might be wretched but she is gorgeous!In an evilsh way,though.God,I hate that woman."

"You are in capable of hatred,little miss.You're a cute little baby angel bunny princess."

We finally came back to the manor."Ok.I just need to check if the cameras are still on to loop.And they are.We can go.Come on."

We safely made it to my room."This is quite literally where I grew up.In this room.Even after the fi-Ok!Let's skip that.""Oh,no,no,no,no.We are not skipping anything.After the fi what?"

I did not answer.

"Fish?Film?File?Fixer?Filth?First something?Final something?Fight?Fiction?Firefly?!Come on,bunny,you know I can keep going right?You have to know that by now."

"I do know that!I know that I can tell you.I just can't!It's not that I don't trust you or that I don't feel safe around you because news flash,I do."
