Ella POV-

" I'm just kidding. Ofcourse, I said yes. I'll tell a little secret, actually I already loved him, even though that was the first time we met. I once saw his statue, the statue of Power, that's what he called it 200 years ago when it was made in the honour of his victory against the enemy kingdom."

"So you loved him just because you saw his statue?" Alexander asked me, visibly upset

"Yes. He was the man of my dreams, strong and powerful and majestic. When I saw him in person at the castle, he was exactly what I imagined , big and masculine, someone who's strong embrace could give you comfort and take away all your worries. People said that he killed his child , so he's wife cursed him agelessness and agony associated with loneliness and seeing your loved ones die, and you can't even die to meet them , all you can do is die everyday until you actually die. People say that he looks like a hideous beast. But when I saw him I couldn't see the monster he's become, but the man I loved, the man I could die for."

"Why would you fall in love with fire, when you know it would burn you to keep itself alive?"

"That's the beauty of love, your majesty. You only fall in love with the person you shouldn't. I had heard about his acts of kinds, his acts of heroism and how good and kind of a ruler he really was. And I fell in love with his personality. He was everything I ever dreamed in a man"

"Yeah, a barbaric beast" Alexander said in a sarcastic tone.

"Are you jealous, Alexander? I thought you loved only your late wife and not me"

"I'm not jealous, especially not of a human turned into beast, and I...I...don't love you"

"Really? You sure you don't love me?"

"I...I.. I'm sure , quite"

"OK, then tell her that you don't love her"

"Who...?"

Ella holds his hand and places his big palm on her belly, where there baby is peacefully resting.
And the baby kicks hard exactly where her father's hand is, ( umm, maybe not peaceful) and continues kicking hard.

"Did you feel that?" Ella asks

"Y...yes, did it really kick?"

"Yes, she did"

"Is it a girl?"

"I don't really know, but I can feel it , a mother's instinct maybe. I really feel that our baby girl is growing inside me"

"Our?"

"What if I say yes, will you accept us?" Ella asks wanting to know if it's the right time to tell him the truth

"Then I'll say that you didn't love your devil of a husband truly as you claim and now you want a rich person, like a king myself to father your burden of a child, I dont even understand how could you sleep with an ugly looking whatever your husband was"

****Slap******

******Ella slaps him hard right across his face *******

"How dare you insult my husband and my unborn child"
