Forbidden Love

Chapter 36

Elise's Pov

I widened my eyes and shake my head "No, you're lying. I have a Mother and she raised me up since I was a baby!" I said and the woman named Adrianna shook her head "we were in the ship when you were still months old then we got shipwrecked, I lost you and I thought you died but you're just here" she said while cupping my cheek.

Moving away and Adrianna furrowed at me "If you dont believe me, ask your mother who raised you up then come back in this place and tell me what she says" she said then someone called her "Excuse me" she bows down and left me with my mind not speaking.

Holding the necklace, I opened it 'Adrianna' it is her name but how, what, when- I have many questions in my head but Mother has all the answers. I look around and forgot that I have to leave quickly.

Leaving the Castle Gardens and walks in the streets of the village, walking slowly while still thinking about what Adrianna said. Later I arrived infront of the house and was about to knock when someone covered my mouth then I blacked out.

Arthur's Pov

Signing the papers quickly with my tired hand, its 8 in the evening and I cant imagine when Im crowned as King, its gonna be much busier and doesnt have time for Elise.

I sighed and slammed my hands on the table, closing my eyes tightly and saw Elise in my mind, I groaned and stood up, leaving the Palace for I want to see Elise.

Knocking on the door of her house then it took long minute to opened revealing Leyla who's rubbing her eyes "Oh, hello there. Good eve, sorry for the disturb but may I ask where Elise is?" I asked and Leyla frowned "She hasn't arrive yet" Leyla replied.

My face looking serious "what do you mean? She left from the Palace like 5 afternoon" I said, making Leyla look at me confusedly "she left from home like 3 in the afternoon to see you and she hasn't come back yet".

I walk inside the house "Elise!" I said, looking for her. Elise is probably hiding "no time for playing, come out" I said and Leyla walked towards me "She's not really here, you can ask mother" I quickly opened the door of every room.

The door opened to see Elise's mother who flinches by the sound of my sudden burst "oh, Arthur! What are you doing here- you scared me" she said and I bow down slightly "Forgive me for I am just so worried, maa- mother but I want to see Elise, where is she?" I asks, getting worried.

She look up to me confusedly with a furrow brow "What do you mean? She left in the afternoon to see you and she hasn't come back yet" That's when I got this bad feeling, I swear if this is part of Father's plan then he is dead if He hurted Elise. Running out from the house and goes back to the Castle with Elise's mother shouting from behind "Arthur, wait!".

Entering the Castle and quickly goes upstairs to Father's Chamber and slammed the door opened "ah!" Father screamed and calm down as he saw me "ah Arthur- what are you doing he-!" I cutted him off by slamming my hand on the desk beside him "where is Elise?" I asked while looking at him deadly.

Father furrowed and pushed me away "dont mention that witch or you'll be curse" he said and I slammed my hand roughly against the desk again "I said where is she". Father flinched and stood up "I dont know what you're talking about, look I am trying to sleep and here you are keeps slamming the desk!".

I clenched my fist and when I was about to reply back when I remember "where is mother?" I asks and Father furrowed "In her bedroom of course an- hey! Do not disturb your mother!" Father shouted as I left his chamber to go into mother's.

Opening the door to see an empty bed, I widened my eyes and feels more worried so I quickly go into the room of Victoria to check her when I found no sight of her. This is their doing! I run quickly outside the Palace. Elise where are you, I swear I'll kill that witch if she hurt you again!
