The Princess's Affection

Prologue

Who the fuck did this to you? Princess asked me. After seeing the bruises on my face, I couldn't talk because I was scared of what she was capable of doing, and I didn't want these issues to land in a court case. So, I pleaded with her and didn't want to be a burden to her after everything that I had done to her. She still wanted to protect me, and I was not happy with myself.

Noticing how scared I was, Princess reduced her voice, apologised for raising her voice, and came closer, engulfing me in a tight embrace, as if she didn't want to lose me again for the second time.

I am sorry, Princess. I bawled my eyes out, apologising to her, saying how sorry I was for what I did to her when I was in a relationship with James. Then she whispered to me that it was okay and I needed not to apologize anymore. But I just kept crying about everything that had happened, especially for James and me.

I was really foolishly in love with him and didn't realise how he didn't love me as much as I had for him. It was the biggest mistake of my life, and I highly regretted it. Listening to him and forgetting all that Princess had done for me after all the years we had been together was the worst decision of my life, and now I am back to square one.

I decided to move into her house after losing everything and began my life from scratch. While I stayed at her house, I began healing faster thanks to her and started working at her company as her personal assistant, like I had done before I resigned. All the money that I had saved from starting my business was squandered by James, who lied to me about having a joint business but went ahead to register the business under his name.

Even though I took him to court, I wouldn't have any legal evidence to support winning the case against him. Because he had people and would be able to escape, and I didn't want anyone to know what had happened and put more issues and pressures on my mother, who had just recovered from her illness and was discharged from the hospital.

Thank goodness that I wasn't foolish enough to have given him my virginity and had wanted to have sex after marriage. For that, I was really grateful for not getting there until after marriage.

I began falling more deeply in love with Princess as several months passed, began liking her more than a friend, and stopped viewing her as a friend. I didn't know what was wrong with me, and I didn't want to offend God for all that He had done. But my heart had a different idea than what my brain had in stock and kept reminding me that what I was doing was wrong.

Because when God created humanity, He made one man and one woman to be in love and not in reverse. And that was the main reason why He had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. I begged God for His understanding and forgiveness and to follow my heart.

During the following months, I had moved into Princess's room and began sleeping in her bed. Due to falling sick, I nearly died. But luckily, I got healed by my creator, God, and I was really happy that I was healed. I couldn't see the punch in my eyes from the beatings he had given me. It nearly blinded me, and that resulted in my sickness. I was lucky to have survived.

But I thank God for healing me and saving me, because the doctor who was checking on me had told me that most people who were in a coma like me wouldn't have survived what I did.

And one day, I was in bed with Princess, laughing and talking about what we were saying to each other. I kept staring at Princess's beautiful eyes, how she looked, and her lips while she kept talking and smiling at what she was talking about. I leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and she responded immediately to the kiss. But before going further, she stopped and looked at me for a brief second to see if the kiss that I had given was real.

I like you so much. I shyly confessed to her, and she snuggled closer to me, breathing my scent, and whispered how much she loved me.

You don't need to say you love me when you haven't made a decision or feel pressured into saying it. She confessed to me that she was very happy that I liked her a lot and viewed her no longer as a friend. Pecking my forehead and my whole face, as we continued our conversation about everything.
