Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6 : Sealing Broken Promises.

The next day was set in a dense atmosphere where me and Edward rarely talked in. Every time we glanced at each other; we were reminded of that time in the Hallway.

That time where he stared at me till I exited the Palace. That feeling; that I can never get rid of.

Oliver wasn't helping either. He kept trying to get me alone. But somehow; Edward has given me that much work that it had kept me moving; making me able to avoid him.

Is Edward actually helping me or is he just trying to keep me away from him instead?

I think the latter choice.

I'm just lucky that Oliver doesn't know about the Royal gardens being my private place. It was the only place where I was left at peace. Only Beugard and Hildegard knew about it.

I had an itch that kept repeating that Hildegard might have a little attraction towards the head butler. Beugard I know; has taken notice and always kept his distance around her.

I laugh quietly to myself just by the thought of them ever getting together. It's like mixing happiness and grumpiness all together; unsure of what the outcome might be.

*Edward's View*

What was wrong with me? I shouldn't have told that fool that Raina and me were no more.

She'll probably tattletale it to the press for money like the beggar she is. She only took this job for the money; I'm certain of it. And plus; we haven't implemented any restrictions of her not telling outsiders of what goes on inside the palace walls.

I was surprised when she didn't.

I suddenly felt a pang of guilt; thinking her as soo low. I had also wanted to thank her on keeping the ring back; it was shipped back to the hands of Raina as it was hers rightfully. I know that bitch would try to seduce me again; trick me again to marrying her. But I craved for someone else. Someone whose Grey-Blue eyes which had been haunting my dreams.

What was I thinking?

I won't deny it. I'm a royal player. I crave for a woman's body every time. Elena was no different than the rest of the broken flowers I've went into.

But I never cheated on Raina. One despicable part of me; I never cheat when I'm with a woman.

The women who've been brought to my chambers were all aware it was a one night stand thing although they kept begging for me to make them my companion for life.

These women threw their bodies at me easily. Flirted without hesitation. Wanted the crown over my head over my heart in their hands. Elena was different; she didn't throw herself at my feet.  And when I stomped in the hall; seeing Oliver forcibly touching her, it somehow infuriated me. Elena was pure in the hands of any hand.

Her background check had said she was a virgin although she had been in countless of broken relationships. All in an effort to find the one who'd stay.

She had refused to marry at her age even though it was like a custom in her town; refusing her own rules made me respect the woman more.

It also said that her birthday was this coming December 24th. She was born on Christmas Eve.

The day had been tough on me. I had noticed Oliver trying to corner Elena like a rat to a trap; and I found more work for her to do as an excuse. I knew she felt thankful for she took them gladly; with that seducing smile of hers.
