I could see the panicked look on her face when she was talking to Mason. I tried to lip-read and saw "Marry me" if I'm not wrong. I was raging. I knew something about him that she didn't. I was about to go and shove him into the wall but someone blocked me. Then, I saw her turn around and look at me. Her face spilt the emotion she held in her eyes. She was scared. She was asking me for help. Asking me. Idiot. Why won't you move? WHY WON'T YOU MOVE?

My feet were planted on the ground. Stuck - as if I'd walked right into cement and it dried so fast. But the look on her face was enough to motivate me to move. I walked up to him, my teeth were clenched and my veins were throbbing. Adrenaline rushed through me, ready to punch that jerk for making someone uncomfortable. No man has the right to do that. Whether it was a man or woman, he had no excuses. I grabbed his fist and held it up, "Leave her alone, bastard." He raised his brow "Who do you think you are?" If I'm honest, I don't know. I couldn't tell him I was her bodyguard, that wouldn't intimidate him. "Her boyfriend. And you?" Shit. She will kill me. The reaction on his face was satisfying. "You're her bodyguard." How did he know? Did she tell him? "You're half correct. I'm her bodyguard and boyfriend. And if you don't let go of her now, your head is going to be placed right above the dining table. What a handsome face you have, let's frame it." His eyes filled with rage and he was just about to throw a punch to my face when I caught his fist mid-punch.
I grabbed Ella- I mean Fiorella's arm and jerked her to the side where no one could see us. I pinned her to the wall. "Why didn't you leave?" I whispered, careful to not frighten her too much. "I c-couldn't.." What does she mean she couldn't? "I'm here now, shh." She cried into the curve of my neck. I felt sad but happy at the same time. Sad that she was crying but happy that she wasn't near him. "Look, I know you'll scold me about saying I was your boyfriend and blah blah blah, but that was the only thing I could do to intimidate him." She looked up and spoke while shaking, "It's fine. It's just he asked me to marry him - and even though I do like him, I don't think I like him enough. I'm also too young to get married. I want to do things and explore the world." The poor girl. She was having a tough time.
Ugh. I have to stop sympathizing with her. I came here to kill her, Kentaro. Pull yourself together. Don't make the same mistake you did last time. Remember? Remember what happened? The voices in my head grew loud. "Kentaro, are you okay?" Her voice was so sweet - gentle. The heel of my palm pressed against my forehead. "No. No, I'm not okay. I'm not okay with you being near that man, let alone touching him." She looked a bit upset but I saw relief flicker in her eyes. "Oh, ok. I still don't have freedom even with my bodyguard near me." Tears fell down her face and onto her dress. Staining the satin with red blood tears. "Wait, I'm sorry- I didn't mean it like tha-" But she took off, running up the stairs and almost falling again. She was holding her dress up and running while tears flew in the air. What have I done?
But I decided to leave her alone. I've messed up enough for today.
I hate myself.
I've ruined everything.
They hate me.
My parents would hate me.

I went up to go to my room. But then I remembered it wasn't my room. It was hers. I asked the king and queen to let me go home - just for a bit. I took off, taking the bus that we took to town and let out a sigh of frustration. I was biting my nails and my leg was vibrating - shaking and moving up and down. I was so upset with myself. My parents would be disappointed. But my mom would be less disappointed; and that's why I loved her more. I loved them both, but my mom was my idol. She was brave, never blamed me for anything and always stuck up for me.
20 minutes passed and I reached the town. Today, the town looked a little dead. There were no kids running around and no one was out and about eating gelato. It all looked unusual. I shrugged and went to the lobby of my apartment. I entered the elevator and pressed the number "2". My apartment was a one-bedroom on the second floor. It was small but comfortable. I was rich, yes, but I liked smaller houses. They gave me a feeling of safety and comfort. I lived alone, too, it'd be too much work to live somewhere big. I removed my blazer and held the wine-red gloves in my hand. I wonder if she's okay.
I stripped myself and landed on my bed. The covers were cold - untouched for days. My room smelled like her. My clothes smelled like her. It was giving me a headache. How could anyone impact me this much? It's because she's annoying. Said the demon in my head. It's because you want to be her friend. Said the angel. Ugh. What did I actually want? This was frustrating. I'm supposed to hate her. But I couldn't stop. I'm positive someone's drugged me. There's no other reason why I'd be fine with her.
I walked into my living room and turned on the TV. I was browsing through some channels until the news popped up. It displayed this: "The Princess of Vienna has been kidnapped by an anonymous man. Her bodyguard was nowhere to be seen." Holy shitting shit. I forgot I was supposed to protect her. I was specified to kill her - no one else. What have I actually done?

Ok so this chapter was 1060 words - super short but btw next chapter is gonna be a mix of Kentaro and Fiorella's POV's so it'll have a small subheading saying Forella, Kentaro, Fiorella, etc. So make sure u pay attention to who's thinking what. If that makes any sense? Anyways I'm probably almost done writing chapter 7 while ur reading this note.
