His Fate

Chapter 74: The One in the Royal Family?

Valentina POV 

I was woken up by the face I loved most. "Good morning, princess" "good morning," I said smiling "how are you today?" he put his head on my forehead, checking if I was sick "I'm fine Richie," I said smiling "we're done here, we can go home," I said, he smiled "we have a lot to do in New York" "just a couple more days" I nodded.

"come on let's go I'll make your favorite blueberry pancakes," I smiled brightly, he carried me on his shoulder, and I gasped laughing "put me down" I laughed "nope" he ran down the stairs holding me tightly. I laughed out loud "put me doooowwwwnnnnnnn," I said between laughs. We arrived in the kitchen and I was put on the counter "your laugh is amazing" I blushed "you are amazing" I said, "did the doorbell ring?" He asked "I think so, let's go see," I said getting down.

"Are you still sleeping it's almost noon" Elena, Marc, Fred, and Chris came in. "it's 10 am" I laughed "I really like her" Richard said laughing "and who wouldn't like me?" "ok, cupid come in" I walked into the kitchen followed by them, "Hi Valentina," Fred hugged me "hi Freddie" "Are you still with him?" Chris asked me his eyes boring into Richard's eyes "What do I do? I love him" I sigh.

"So did you go to your uncle?" Elena asked "yes I did" "what did he say?" She asked "you really don't want to know" "come on tell me" I sigh "he wanted us to break up" "what?" I nodded "Well, Jacklin was very happy that we were engaged, you couldn't see the look on her face. Once Francisca cried my uncle said we shouldn't be together. Because I shouldn't be with someone better than Francisca. He made me choose between them and Richard." "Oh my god they're assholes, don't tell me you chose them" I laughed sarcastically.

"Of course not, all my life I tried to make them happy, I won't sacrifice my future for them." "see it's not only me who doesn't want them together," Chris said, we all glared at him "it's not a joke this time, Chris," Elena said.

"So are you going to tell her," Chris asked "Tell me what?" I was scared "Do you remember Harry?" "like Harry our best friend?" I asked "no like Duke Harry, he knows you're here" "No no no, this wasn't supposed to happen, it's too much" I freaked out "like duke Harry, the one in the royal family?" I nodded "you know him? How do you know him? It's a duke. Duke Harry. How do you know him?" Richard freaked out. "why can you never keep your mouth shut Elena?" I asked her "you know me, I tell what I know. Except our secrets of course" she looked at her fingernails "how did you even tell him?" "are you seriously asking me that question? Of all questions, you are asking me this one?" I nodded "I took my phone searched for his contact in my contact list, pushed call, and after a few rings he answered"

"Did I tell you he was coming? Yeah? Ok bye" Elena was walking out of the door. "ha ha ha you are not going anywhere." I blocked the door. "I am" "Elena I don't want to wrestle you, you are pregnant," I said "as if you can, I always beat you" I groaned.

"We met when I was 16 and I was moving from hospital to hospital and I was alone most of the time, so I passed out I don't know where. So when I woke up he was there. We kept talking and talking and became really close to each other. One time he told me he loved me, and I just didn't want to think about relationships at that time of my life.

My parents had just passed away and I was focussing on studying. And I was in a bad health at that time. I told him I liked us better as friends. Every now and then he'd text me and after a while, he stopped. So I'm not sure why he's coming. I'm way too scared"
