"What if it was the prince who needed saving?"
Not receiving an ounce of love even in his childhood, he became heartless. His cold exterior scared people away, and not to mention his detached, unemotional personality. Haunted by his past, he was use...

It's been exactly forty-nine hours since I've seen that stupid face.
She won't pick up my calls or answer my texts. She hasn't visited in over two days. It's killing me.
"The message wasn't that important. I mean, all he said was that if we don't release them, they'll be war. Honestly, I'm pretty bored nowadays. A war sounds great" Roxy smiles.
"It's not just that, Rox. He tried to bribe us first" Diesel comments, tapping his fingers on the table. "So, what? Doesn't matter" "We still need to prepare in case they try anything"
Roxy scoffs. "Please. Don't tell me you're scared of their empty threats"
Right when I end the meeting, I rush to meet her like a lovesick teenager. I drive straight to her apartment without a second look at the restaurant, but on reaching outside, I'm a little hesitant to walk in.
Did I do something? Is she mad at me?
I try to recall everything I did to her in the past few days. The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that I reminded her about who she belongs to a few days ago. Is she mad because I did that? There's no way. She loved every second of it. Had I missed something?
I sigh and walk out of the car, heading straight to her door. I knock and wait. "Coming!" Rina shouts. She opens the door and looks at me for a few seconds with surprise on her face. "Is she home?"
She snaps out of her trance and nods. I motion inside. "Can I see her?" Rina shakes her head, still staring. "Why?" I frown.
"Well, I-" "Rina, who's at the door?"
Astraea walks up to her and glances at the doorway. Our eyes meet, but she looks away before I have the chance to say something.
"Go" She begins to turn away, but I grasp her wrist and turn her towards me. Rina stares at me before closing her eyes. "What did I do?"
I ask her, hoping to get an answer. As expected, she remains quiet. Everything that I've done in the past few weeks flashes in my mind. What could I have done so wrong that she doesn't even want to see my face?
"Zane, leave" She says quietly. Her wrist twists in my grip, trying to free itself, but that only makes me grip harder. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what I did" I state clearly. I can see her tears on the corners of her beautiful eyes, but she quickly wipes them away. "Please..." It comes out like a light whisper, but I hear it. I tug at her arm and pull her to my chest, wrapping both arms around her.
"How am I supposed to fix it if I don't even know what I did wrong?" I run a hand through the hair cascaded on her back. She stiffs for a second, but then places both her palms on my chest, giving me a push. "I don't wanna talk right now. Please" I barely hear it, but she takes a step back.
"I'm so sorry" She looks at me one last time before disappearing into the house. Rina looks at me, almost apologetically.
"She...doesn't really want to see anyone right now" "Oh, really? You think?" I roll my eyes.
