"You know what? Everything....every bad thing that is happening to me is because of you and your lack of empathy and consideration. Always doing what you feel like in the moment. Not thinking about the pain you cause the people around you. Always so...

Nyx's pov:
I felt like I had discovered a new thing after constantly being unable to be satisfied with Liam. I wanted more and he was able to deliver each time. At one point I felt like I had discovered something that I have been lacking all along.
It had to be the best body-to-body I have ever experienced. I don't want to compare anything but I have to admit Liam blew me away.
Too sad I didn't get to spend the day with him because my parents sent a driver to come pick me up. They had thrown me out yesterday, I wasn't expecting them to want me back almost immediately.
As we approached the palace I held my lower back with a wince in the aftermath of everything that went down last night. My door got opened and I had to take in a deep breath before pushing myself up. I almost landed on the ground but Gary held me.
"Are you okay Sir?" I nodded taking a deep breath fighting to not wince. It was not working and I couldn't completely take out the limp as I walked.
Ugh, this is embarrassing. Can everyone tell what happened? "Um...I knocked my toe." I felt the need to defend myself even without any questions asked. No one would dare ask but I had to explain.
"Should we call a doctor?"
"No!" The hastiness in my voice almost gave it away that I was indeed hiding something. I cleared my throat. "I mean no, it will heal."
I limped all the way to my room unable to meet my parents right away. I needed to rest for a bit before I could face anyone. I didn't know how long I was out it I woke up to the ringing of my phone.
Upon picking it up I saw Liam's name but before I could answer Mom walked in with an angry-looking face. "You came back and you didn't bother to come see me?" I declined Liam's phone as I pushed myself off of the bed with a hiss.
"I apologize, I got tired during the ride-"
"Why didn't you come back yesterday? Why did we have to get a driver to bring you back?" She lifted her dress while getting closer to me. "Is he ruining you?"
"Um-I-" She held my hand and directed me back to my bed, I winced at how roughly she pulled me.
"What happened? Are you hurt?"
"No...I knocked my toe. It's nothing." She nodded as we took a seat. She remained close to me, her hand still in mine. She pushed the hair that had fallen onto my forehead. "I was sleeping...I didn't get time to prepare myself for the meeting." I had to be always clean, she doesn't take disorganization very well.
"That doesn't matter right now." She said while still fixing my hair to perfection. "You were never like this, you always listen. When you make a mistake you would find me right away."
"I apologize."
"You didn't come to find me. Are you having so much fun with him that you didn't try to come and find me? You didn't try to explain yourself?"
"I like him."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Her hands retracted from my body.
"I want to date him." She stood up with a huff while holding onto her dress. Her eyes were wide I think until they grasped the weight of what I have just said. "And I am glad I am marrying him."
"You can't like him." She spoke sternly with the swipe of her hand as if indicating that this was not debatable.
"Shouldn't it be good to like someone I have to marry so I can help both our kingdoms and also be happy?" These have to be the best circumstances and I am lucky that the marriage is between him and me.
"You don't know what you're talking about." She say back down and this time spoke softly. "Just two weeks ago you were willing to run away with Lady Augustus but you saw the truth. Soon you will see that- that prince is not what you need." The venom in her voice when she said 'that prince' sent fear down my spine.
"He is I am sure and I did love Lady Augustus."
"Good cause you are going to marry her."
"I don't want to marry her anymore, I want Liam."
"You have always been a good boy." She held my cheek, I tried to wiggle out of her hands but she made me look at her. "Don't you remember how you cried in your father's office wanting to marry Lady Augustus? We want to reward you for being a good boy and marry her. Isn't that what you want?"
"But I don't want to anymore."
"You're not sure." She caressed my cheek. "This is why you should listen to me and your father. We will decide the right thing for you."
"You want me to marry her because of the riches she will provide."
"But it will make you happy-"
"I don't want her!" A hard slap made my head turn to the side.
"Is that how we speak?" I held my cheek while biting my lip to stop the tears from flowing. "I asked you a question, is that how we speak?"
"No." I whispered.
"A prince should..."
"A prince should always remain calm and collected. No matter what situation he is pushed into he should always set an example. Be polite, efficient and talk with respect. He should always listen and provide whatever is needed of him because his life is not only his but his people's."
"Now apologize for this rude behavior of yours."
"I am sorry for raising my voice when you were only correcting and guiding me."
"Come here." I leaned into her touch and she hugged me. "I am forgiving you, my sweet boy." She cooed. "I'm sorry for slapping you. I did it because you were out of line, let me see." She checked my cheek. "It's turning red, I would have never done it if you didn't raise your voice."
"I deserved it." I hugged her again. "You have never hurt me before."
"Because you have always been a good boy." She pulled me out of the hug and looked me in the eye. I was still holding my tears in. "What happened in that elevator?"
I took in a deep breath not knowing where to start from. "It will never happen again."
"I asked what happened?" She still sounded soft but I knew not to push her even more.
"We touched...I got caught up in the moment mom it will never happen again I promise." The tears I was holding in finally fell.
"Did you enjoy it?"
I opened my mouth but I blanked out unable to breath. The question was too heavy to answer, I glanced down while twiddling with my fingers. "Yes." I whispered.
She sighed with a smile. "Is that why you think you like him?" Why was she happy? "You told Lady Augustus you loved her the minutes she slept with you." She took my hand again. "Just because it was fun doesn't mean you like him." She pecked my cheek with a smile. "Clean up and come down for dinner."
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome." She pecked my cheek again with a wide smile. "I love you, you're my pride and joy and I am so glad to have you as my one and only son." I hummed then watched her walk out leaving me in my thoughts.
Maybe I don't like Liam and I like him because we touched. I started feeling strongly about him after we touched and the same goes for Lady Augustus. I started loving her after our first time.
I held my head feeling everything crumbling, I was so happy knowing I liked Liam but now...I might not like him.
