The Princess's Affection

Chapter Thirty- One

Princess's POV

I called my mother, and she appeared before me, as I had already finished what I was doing. When she appeared, I turned around with my chair to have a proper conversation with her concerning the little stunt that she had pulled towards Bia.

Mother, do you really know why I am calling you? I asked her.

Yes, my child, I do know why, she said. You are calling me here to talk about what I did to Bianca, right? She asked a rhetorical question.

I didn't answer because it was meant to be answered anyway.

But mother, why would you try to hurt me when you fully know that I really care and love Bia? I confessed to her. Why did you use Lina, who you knew fully well and that I cared so much about, who is like your other child and my right-hand woman? Did you know that if Bia ever did find out about all of this, I wouldn't have anything to do with her ever again?

And that was the reason I did it in the first place. I can't believe you, my child; you have really changed for the worse. The girl has hurt you on several occasions and done things to you that I know that if it were another person, their heads would have been ripped out. But here is Bianca hurting you continuously and here's you not doing or saying anything about it. How could I stay in a place and watch my daughter, who is about to take the kingdom from me, be hurt continuously?

But, mother, you do know that she apologised and has tried to amend her ways. And by the way, you do understand and know it wasn't her fault, but at the end of the tunnel, she apologised, and we have been cool ever since then. Why would you want to do this and hurt your own child? I barked angrily at my mother.

Has it come to this that I would fold my arms and watch her continuously hurt you when I knew that I could do something about it?

Mother, I didn't say that you couldn't do something about it; you're not trying to get to and understand where I am coming from. But I want you to know and understand that she is trying her absolute best to show it. She was so fucking hurt by her ex that it took a lot of convincing to make her believe that I truly loved her. And now, if you do this to hurt her, it would fucking ruin everything and take me back to a freaking zero. I lose everything—her and myself.

I love her so much, mother, and you have to deal with it. I do not in any way want this to ever repeat itself again, because if you do, you have me to contend with. And you do know that I am now the strongest woman in the underworld after killing Nikky, whose revenge on me was because of you mother, dearest. I had to take a bullet for something that I didn't know or have a hand in. But that is another story for another day. I do not in any way want to contend with or have issues with you. Please understand me. Your last warnings, mother, and I do promise, I wouldn't have such mercy on you.

I promise you that if all these are over, I will come to our world and take over from you with the woman that I would love to spend my eternity with. And now that I have passed on all that I have said, I do plead and ask that you have a change of heart towards her.

Okay, my child and I also apologise for the way that I hurt you. I didn't know that my helping was very selfish and had concluded my judgement towards you. I thought that doing my best to remove her from you was also not going to hurt you. I am sorry for that, and I promise you that I will have a change of heart towards her.

Thank you, mother, I said.

As I wanted to say something else, I felt Bia coming towards my office, and immediately, my mother became invisible to Bia, and it was only I that could see her.

Baby, I am so sorry that I wasted a lot of time, Bia said out of breath. You know I had to go back home to drop off the groceries and then forgot about our lunch at home. Then I had to reverse the car to the house before picking them up and leaving for the office. Oh my goodness, baby, today isn't my day, as the traffic was something entirely different. But I am glad that I made it before lunchtime ended.
