The water splashed happily on Marissa's face making her let out her earthly laughter.

" Why you ,you think you can run away huh ?". She uttered as she tried catching the tuna again ,but it swam fast even before she could catch it .

" Is that how to catch a fish?". A deep familiar voice sounded ,Marissa turned and she raised a brow in shock when she saw Liam riding on the white horse,coming her direction.

" What are you doing here ?". She blurted .

" Good morning to you too ". He smiled as he rode to her direction. She gasped in pure disbelieve.

" You've got to be kidden me ". She said again.

" I'm glad you think that i kid you". Liam replied and finally reached her . He came down from the white horse and bent to her level.

" You've still not answered my question". Marissa said .

" I suppose you are the  one that i should be asking questions no ?". Liam retorted and Marissa sighed .

" How did you find me ?".

" Well I didn't intentionally follow you here ,i was taking a ride around the castle ,and so I rode to this direction and found you here by the stream, trying to catch a fish ?". He said with a hint of mockery . Marissa rolled her eyes .

" How exactly do you think you can catch it ,like this ?". He mocked again .

" Goodness can you stop insulting me ? I'm catching it you know ,look I've caught about three already ". She said showing him the basket of the tuna . Liam laughed and ruffled her hair ,he leaned forward and put his hands inside the water ,he positioned it in a particular angle and calmly he caught a fish ,he repeated the same process and caught another . He kept on doing so until the basket was almost filled with tuna .

" My God,how did you learn to do that ?". Marissa exclaimed and he chuckled.

" I learnt it when I was a kid ,i and Xavier would always go fishing with father ". Liam said .

" Actually I learnt that technique from Xavier,he's more better in fishing than me ". Liam said and Marissa only mouthed an O .

" So,". Liam said and faced her .

" Would you start explaining or should I ask you again?". Liam demanded .

" Fine I'm sorry i didn't show up. The reason was because i had a running stomach and it really made me uncomfortable so I stayed in my quarters last night". She lied .

" Gosh,are you okay now ? ". He asked concernely.

" Yes I'm much better ".

" But I asked your friend about you last night and she didn't tell me all these ". Liam said in a more  displeasing tone .

" That was because she didn't know . She too herself was expecting me ". Marissa said again , praying for this talk to end .

" That was risky Mari,you should've involved or at least let someone know about it ,what if it had gotten worse ?". Liam said concernely and Marissa forced a smile . Heavens!! how was she to tell him the truth ! How could she open her mouth to tell him that she wasn't sick of the sort but instead , had a night stand with his brother last night ! ....how was she to open her mouth and tell her best friend that she slept with his brother ....what a hore she was ...or was she ???. Marissa blinked from her thoughts .

" Well...i ah...thank goodness it didn't get worse did it ?". She retorted and smiled standing up . Liam did the same and stood up also , together they got on his horse and rode off.

Isabelle knocked on the door quietly and immediately the door opened ,but no one was in sight , confused she walked into the chambers but no one was in the room .

" It must've been the breeze then". She muttered and closed the door ,few seconds later Xavier came out of the bathroom wearing only a codpiece, Isabelle gulped as she starred at those irresistible abs.

" He's so handsome". She muttered as she looked at those spellbinding eyes that glowed even without him trying,his tousled hair was wet making it drip on his handsomeness face.

" Isabelle ?". He called quite surprised,she bowed .

" My Lord". She gretted .

" I didn't call for you did i ?". Xavier half asked with his brows slightly raised. Isabelle gulped as her eyes danced round the whole room , wasn't he happy to see her ? The question brought about a sting of hurt.

" I was supposed to come here last night my Lord but I was serving for the ceremony by the command of lady Adela,i couldn't make it here last night ,i apologize my Lord ". She said praying for him to accept her and scoop her in his arms ,making wonderful love to her . Xavier looked at her for some minutes and then removed his gaze as he walked to his dresser.

" You can leave Isabelle, I'll call for you when i need you ". He said and Isabelle could swear a tear drop almost fell from her eyes . Rejection! That was what spelled from his lips,that was what he meant indirectly. Why? Just why ? When all of a sudden she had started becoming the topic and jealousy of the maids ...when she'd started achieving what she so much desires....he now wants to throw her away ?. She looked up at him.

" Why if i may ask my Lord ,are you still angry at me ?". She asked and this time Xavier looked at her .

" Angry ?". He arched his brows .

" I never said that ". He returned.

" Then let me service and please you ". She said and walked closer to him . Xavier could only look at her , before he could blink Isabelle removed her tunic and stripped herself bare before him ,her alluring body exposed erotically to his view . Xavier gulped but didn't look away ....she was like a charm he couldn't resist. Isabelle saw the look in his eyes and smiled inwardly...as usual he couldn't get away from her .

" Let me please you my Lord". She whispered this time in a sexy tone ,giving him the alluring gaze ,Xavier gulped again heavens he couldn't believe this was the same shy quiet Isabelle he knew.  She walked to him and without waiting removed the codpiece from him , making him stark naked . She caressed her hands on his chest and went on down to....Xavier shivered...damn this girl what was she to do to him ...

" Isabelle ". He called more like a groan and she smiled as her blue eyes dazzled with pure joy and satisfaction.

" Yes my Lord ,". She whispered and brought her face closer to kiss his earlobe,her hands went to his tousled long hair and she stroked it ,letting her hands fall to the back of his neck...she stroked it slowly,giving him one thousand chills. Xavier closed his eyes in surrender to all she was doing to him ....damn who is this girl was what rang in his head . She took her hands down again to his behind and made a light squeeze out of it . And that was it , Xavier lost it immediately as he snapped his eyes open and carried her to the bed .

" It's time for you to pay for all you've done don't you think ?". He half asked as the grey eyes tingled with mischief, Isabelle smiled at those eyes, loving the look at it ...these were the eyes she'd always come to know ....the gleaming mocking grey intoxicating eyes . He placed her in the bed and spread her legs apart before she could adjust he entered full force .

" Ouch !". She moaned and he began thrusting faster.

" Ohhhh my Lord ,ahh yes ,yes ...". Isabelle moaned and Xavier kissed the bridge of her neck , Isabelle used that opportunity to try to kiss him but he removed his face ,not allowing her . They lay there screwing each other until finally Xavier slept off . Isabelle lay there looking at him with so much admiration happy he now looks at her ....happy she was starting to achieve her aim...which is to fall pregnant for the royal family in other for the prince to marry her . She'd always had eyes on Xavier and now that she has the opportunity she wouldn't dare make this wonderful moment slip from her.

" I'll make sure I have you my Lord ". She muttered to the sleeping Xavier as she caressed his face .
