----------------------------------------------
POV Adele Russo

Hideous was how I looked as I glanced at myself through the long thin mirror which was placed in the mirror,staring at my gown I had worn I could not believe I could find something as rich as this hideous and distaste.

A gasp of pain escaped my lips as the maid tightened the strings from the back,closing my eyes as I began to groan.A single tear wanted to escape but I held it back.

My hair was in a bun with a small tiara in my head,
"Spin Madame."one of the maid spoke as i spin around unsure,I looked into each one of there eyes as the stood frozen,"is it too much?"I question towards the jewellery on my neck and fingers,the Tiara in my head and the make up I had worn.

"Beautiful."A voice came from behind the maid as they parted and there stood the man I had not dared to look at,I was a foolish women to fall into his trap and believe my sister had fallen for him when he was the reason she was pregnant,carrying his child.

"Noble Daniel."I spoke looking down as I bowed in respect awaiting for a signal to speak,he was no longer nothing to me except a past which I did not want to turn around and see.
"You all may leave."he spoke clearly and loudly with his French accent,looking away I realised all the maids had began to walk away towards the door as I decided to follow them,But a grip on my wrist stopped me.

"Noble Daniel,Do not touch me?"I growled horrified as I looked away,as I pulled my wrist out of his grip and took a long step back as I watched him narrow his eyes in confusion.

"I hope you seriously do not want to be a bride of the king,we love each other."he spoke as he began to think,his palms rubbed together creating friction as he then looked at me and spoke the word which completely broke me.

"Are you trying to get him for money,the debt your family are yearning to pay?"he questioned.
"I am ashamed how little you think of me,Nobel Daniel,I do not break trust or hurts unlike you I do not live and sleep with my boyfriends brother."I screamed as I watched his eyes widened.

"It was a mistake.Believe me."he cried falling to the ground as he held his hand together,I should have heard when rumours were told he was a flirt and a bad influence,but love was blind and I had let myself become blind in love with him.

"SHE'S PREGNANT."I spoke awaiting for an answer.
"It can not be true."he whispered holding my hand as I shook my head looking away,I didn't not want to cry but staring at him would break me.

"LEAVE!"I yelled.

"Your love for me is bigger,Your angry but you my love will always come running back to me."he whispered before he stood up and walked away,his posture had return back to normal as if he had not been crying or been broken,why couldn't I be like him?

Strong...

Brave...

"Miss Russo.I believe it's time for us to go to the hall,but if you do not mind you do look beautiful."he spoke as a tint shade of blush made it way to my cheeks,looking down I nodded as I walked my way towards him.Walking was a struggle when you wore a seven inch heels along with a heavy royal gown.

"I am already hated by your mother,then why are you so nice?"I questioned I watched him stare at me in adoration,something else hid in his eyes but before I could see if had vanished like the emotion was never there.

"She does not tell me who I should love or hate,She's not my-"he stopped as he fixed his tuxedo before smiling,his hands trailed behind my waist as we walked into the hall.
"Your late.AGAIN!"she growled angrily fisting her palms,The queen had held a big grudge against me as she stared at me with crossed hands.

"Queen.She was with me."He lied partly,he looked unaffected by the glares she was giving the two of us.He had seemed to ignore it as if he had not seen it.
"You may join."she spoke pressing the heavy books on to my chest,stumbling back I imagined myself holding the books in my head and falling into Snow.

"Raise your chin high.Hands by your side-No by your side."he repeated.My eyes stared into his as I walked closer to him as if I was a tail following his body around.i was hypnotised.
