His lethal touch.

chapter 13

I let my thought's take over me as I walk downstairs with kio,"How's it going kio!" A man waves to him while speaking in a high tone voice

"Doing great boss" a smile builds on kios face

"That was a friend of mine,We bearly hangout but we're still friends at the end of the day"

I sight before arriving in a large hall filled with people and calm piano music,"Hey kio!" A female voice yells and kisho and I both turn our heads.

"Soo I think you already met isla"
He looks at me as we sit at the table with 2 other people,A girl and boy

"Yeah I did" I smile at her getting a smile back in return,"Alright well this is Emanuel,Emanuel this is Alice"

This bastard It's the guy who called us filthy Villagers

I scoff and cross my arms

"it's you" Emanuel adds "Wait you guys met?" Isla looks at both me and Emanuel

"Indeed we did,I met her and her friend when they were running from the royal guards"

"Oh" kio pushes his bottom lip into his lip in awkwardness

"Can that be left is the pass manuel?"
Isla adds before taking a sip of her champagne,"Well since she's my friends fiance now,I guess I will let it go"

"Let it go?,Let what go? Did we talk to each other,did we fight,did I cuss you out?"

He's acting like I did something to him

"Oh wow" isla smiles taking her 2nd sip "Alright well I guess this is going great" kio adds sarcastically

"Let go the fact YOUR friend was acting really bitchy with me"

I laugh

"Bitchy? Now thats funny" I raise my eyebrows,my hands still crossed
"Let's not forget you were the first one to call us filthy Villagers..was it?"

"Oh come on man" kio slightly frowns his eyebrows towards Emanuel "Cause that's exactly what you guys are" he smirks before coughing out his drink,"That's not a way to speak to a women" isla slaps his back

"We're sorry for the inconvenience this assholes creating" kio says

"What inconvenience?" A voice spoke touching my lower back from behind and dragging their hand across my back making their way next to me as they spoke.shivers was being left down my spine

"Oh silas" isla smiles "Who's causing trouble?" He asks again "Well Emanuel and Alice here didn't really have a nice start" kio claps his hands together,

I look at the floor with my hands crossed,But I can feel Silas's eyes on me "Oh yeah? Why's that?" I then watch him look at Emanuel "Cut me some slack you already know,The day when her and her friend were running and I had a small argument with her friend"

"If am being honest am pretty sure you started it all with the filthy  Villagers,Did you not?"

Silence falls for a few seconds and everybody is looking around."Well what's in the past remains in the past and it WONT happen again understood?" Silas stays in silence waiting for a response

"Mhm yeah" Emanuel replies "not just mhm yeah,am being serious Alice is now my fiance and I will not tolerate any bad words being thrown at her.And to remind you my mother was also a villager that doesn't make her filthy does it?"

"Silas I didn't say that-"

"Exactly,so just because someone isn't like us,living the royal stupid rich life does not make them filthy but human"

"Okay fine yeah,I get it" emanuel rolls his eyes and fixes his tie "I apologise,Alice" he says and I watch as kio and isla smile at each other.

"May I speak to you Alice?"

Jesus christ the way my name rolls of his tongue..its really something.But I must not get use to it

"About?" I look at him not longer then 3 seconds "Privately" he gets a little closer as he said that,I sight and watch him bring his arm up waiting for me to hook mine around his

I look at his arm feeling the tension in the group,just play along Alice you'll be fine.

We walk towards the stage and am now confused but I can't show any reaction due to people's eyes on me,i look over to silas squeezing his arm,I know he can feel it

"Silas" I whisper with a smile to make it look like am talking to him "What are you doing" my grip gets tighter around his arm as he climbed the stairs up on stage.

"This is part of our deal,to make it look like a real marriage so play along,Or deal with the consequences"
Those words rolled off his tongue faster then I imagined,But clear enough for me to understand,

We arrive on stage I look around as everyone started staring at us,eyes were monitoring me like crazy which is leading to my heart to beat out of my chest

"Can I get everyone's attention please"
He gently removes his arm from me clicking on a glass with a butter knife to get everyone's attention,

"Am very glad a lot of you showed up today at our ceremony announcement" he looks at me and smiles before fixing his eyes on the croud again "As you all know I have decided to get married,and I would like to introduce my lovely fiance"

I would punch my stomach right now to stop doing weird thing's.

I try not to widen my eyes to much as different type of feelings took over me,I then feel a tiny push from silas telling me to speak up

WHAT ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSE TO SAY!?

"Uh good evening everyone" I blink a few times "Am extremely happy to be here with everybody including my lovely to-be-husband" I wrap my arm around his nearly cuddling myself to him,

He's fighting back his reaction.

"Am very happy to be marrying a man like him,he's loving..he's extremely handsome" I look up at him and back to the croud,"And he will make an amazing father to our future children"

I know for a fact I did NOT just say that.Shit shit shit am gonna pass out AM LITERALLY GONNA PASS OUT,I mean at least am making this seem pretty real....right?

"My name is Alice Collins and am happy to announce our wedding"

"Which will be in a week"
Silas finishes and the room is filled with whispers and shockness,

ONE WEEK!?

I force my smile as I stare at the croud and turn to silas "One WEEK!? are you crazy!" I whisper harshly

"Relax I know what am doing,Don't worry I won't disappoint our future kids" I take a deep breath as he said those last words sarcastically

DID HE MOCK ME?

am gonna punch something or SOMEONE tonight..

I smile at him and I get a smirk in return,"A week your majesty?" A man spoke in the croud "Indeed a week sir" silas replies

"But my prince didn't you guys just meet? Why's the wedding so soon?"

I look over to silas as the man was waiting for him to respond,and he smirks,"bingo" he says under his breath before clearing his throat.

"I don't know where you got that information from but we didn't just meet..."
