A Series in Disguise: Book 4

Chapter 10

Anger and annoyance were the two things I was feeling. I was angry I had to leave Miami, especially after Parker and I just started dating. I was even more annoyed that my father felt like he could just put me on a plane and make me come back.

I walked into the royal castle. One of my dad's drivers drove me here from the airport. My father looked eager to see me. I was not. I would never be happy to be here.

The driver was outside with my stuff. He refused to let me bring my things in, even though it was just a small suitcase. I would not be staying long. I'd be fine with just a carry on. But it was cold here, so I was forced to bring more things.

The castle looked just like it did two years ago when I left it. The maids and servants all still looked slightly miserable to be here, yet they continued to do it. They hated how my father treated them, but they couldn't do anything about it. My father was the King and you had to do as he said. It was a twisted thing.

I still couldn't believe that I had actually gotten away from all this. Well the best I could considering my dad still comes and visits, just to pester me about coming back. But, I did get away from the castle and the city.

I was now able to live my own life. I didn't have to be worried about being followed for being a prince. I didn't have to act polite or royal. I could be myself, even the worst part of me.

I know I probably didn't make the best choice becoming a bad boy and using girls for fun. But, I didn't have to listen to anyone. No one was telling me what I could and couldn't do. So becoming a bad boy was my way of rebelling.

"Matthew." My father's voice was heard. It boomed throughout the castle, as if everyone was awaiting his voice.

"Hello father." I said in a monotone voice. I was trying to keep my annoyance levels down. I was only here for a few days. I could live through this. I had to.

My father walked into the foyer after greeting me. A huge smile was plastered on his face. Of course he'd be happy I was back. His one and only son was in the kingdom and he wanted him to take over the throne. Too bad that won't ever happen.

"Thank you for coming on a short notice. How does it feel to be back?" He asked with a hopeful glee. I shrugged. I didn't tell him how I actually felt. I couldn't tell him. That would only make him angry and ruin this somewhat good relationship we have.

He'll say one thing that will cause me to backlash, ruining this. I just have to endure him and the royal side of me for just a few days. Then, I would be back in the States. I'd forget about this life again and hopefully for good.

"The same I guess." I said looking around. I did still feel the same emotions about being from royal descent. They were all negative. "I still don't want to be here."

His smile was instantly turned into a frown. I held back an eye roll. Did he actually think that I would be glad to be here? It's pathetic how he thinks he can just choose my own path in life. At least i'm being honest about it.

"I do wish that you'll learn to like it. You'll be living here soon." He said. His fake smile was back on his face, making me frown.

"Father, why am I here?" I asked annoyed. I had so much to do at home. I didn't have the time to be here, yet I was forced to.

I had to get back to prepare for finals and the playoffs. Hayden was taking us to the championship. We have been winning throughout the bracket and we only had a few games left. I wanted to be there for all of them.
