ten- save me from him.

— chapter 10 —

save me from him.

"this is sean anderson. the prince of kuno."

my parents introduced me to the young man standing in front of us.

he was handsome, no doubt. his smile could easily make girls drop. his voice could make girls knees wobble.

but his personality, oh his personality.

he was stuck up, arrogant, self-centered, need i say more?

i sat there, disgusted in front of him as we sat in my backyard garden, drinking tea.

"i really didn't want to go through with this since i don't want to get married yet, but i'm sure you're great in bed." he chuckled to himself.

i stayed quiet, giving him one of the coldest glares i've ever given someone before.

i sighed, looking at the horizon. he kept on blabbering, but i focused on the beautiful scenery in front of me.

i want someone to care about me. is that so bad?

justin and selena were the only ones who made my life seem blissful. i guess it was too good to be true. i let it slip from my fingers so easily.

now without them, my life's slowly crumbling and no one's there to catch it.

a day later.
justin's POV.

why was i feeling like this? i was so upset over losing ariana, yet we weren't even that close.

were we?

ever since that dreaded day, i never left my castle. i just stayed in, ate and read a bunch of boring books to forget about the pain my heart was going through.

i closed my book and sighed as i heard the door ring.

"i'll get it!" i yelled to my butlers and maids.

as soon as i opened the door, i began to close it.

it was selena.

what did she want?

before i could fully close the door, she put her foot in between.

i groaned. "what do you want?" i spat harshly.

her face lowered. her hair falling to cover it, so i couldn't see her face anymore.

"ariana's getting married."

i froze.

ariana's getting married?

my heart felt like it was about to come out out of my throat. my knees felt like they were about to give out. my eyes began to get glossy.

why was i feeling this?

you're in love, justin.

no, no i'm not.

you're in love.

i was currently seated in front of selena.

who would've thought?

she was explaining to me everything.

"h-her parents are forcing her to get married after their failed attempt in match-making with you." she spoke as if tears would fall that second.

"justin. i-i know we don't see eye to eye. b-but we need to save her. she doesn't want it, its clear. i saw her this morning in the café. she looked broken." she sighed.

"and she's clearly in love with you. judging by the blush on your face, you love her too." selena pointed out, smiling slightly.

"okay, but her wedding's in two hours. how are we gonna stop it? it's impossible." justin asked, scratching the back of his neck.

"oh justin. you think i came here just to chit chat?" selena laughed, before taking a rolled up paper out of her bag.

"here's the plan."
