Dead melody (Harry Styles/Jai Brooks)

Chapter 26

Eva's POV

"...And I don't hate him for it" I said as Mary ran her hands though my hair, washing traces of actions out

"You know you can't ever do it again, if Harry finds out you are both more screwed than if the devil saw you praying" Mary warned me.

I felt I've run though my veins. She was right. It made me want to scream and run. The idea I'd never get to feel that for the rest of my life, never feeling the compassion and love and pleasure, made me want to go insane. I couldn't live with that pain day in and day out knowing her would make it worse.

Knowing Jai is to marry a very lucky girl. I'd watched her steal my happyness. I'd know at night while I lay in agony she'll be laying in euthiria. She'd be getting the love I wanted.

I held my breath as I tried to conceal everything that was burning inside of me. My body began to convulse

"It's okay to scream, the walls are thick" Mary whispered. I turned to her

"I'm losing my mind" I breathed out, letting some of the black smoke to escape

"Your not allowed to lose it, your husband is king remember, you are a model for so many" Mary said which made me want to just flap around on the floor like a fish.

"I want to get out now" I whispered with a shaky voice. I just needed to get down to the lake to clear my mind, it would surely explode at this rate.

Jais POV

"Oh your highness, I need to speak with you" said Harris. I was on my way to get a drink. I groaned slyly but composed myself.

"Go on Harris, and if it's about Eva's parents I know"

"No no, there is a woman waiting for you in the parlour, her father is there too, they are here to discuss marriage arrangement with you, after Harry got married your father made this arrangement before he sadly passed on"

I stopped listening after "discuss marriage"

I felt my body just go numb, and I couldn't hear my heart pounding in my eyes. It was behaving against my rips screaming that it didn't want some random girl, it wanted Eva.

But Eva wasn't mine and marry told me that we couldn't risk that anymore. I had to let her go.

I followed Harris, even though I felt as though I was in reality. Everything felt hazy and as I laid my eyes upon the girl that's when everything came back to me. She was stunning, yes, but she wasn't aria. She stood up and bowed before sitting back down, she smiled at me, her smile almost hypnotising

"And shall we get down to business"

Eva's POV

Mary began to dress me, I knew it would take forever since this bastard dresses needed more than putting on that building an hour

"Can't I please just wearing something else" I gasped as she tightens the corset attached to the dress, since the under one wasn't enough

"Not as this time of day" she replied with, I groaned and began to stamp my foot slightly, I was just trying to realise all the angry energy which was flowing though me.

Finally she was done, I thanked her before walking out, I just needed to escape this house, I needed to clear my mind.

As I walked out and down the corridor Harry stepped out of the room and stoped me. I let out a whimper as he came over to me. He looked slightly hung over, but at least I looked as though I hadn't been up to anything

"I woke up with a hard one" he said. I twisted my face slightly

"All sorted now" he laughed "but no thanks to you" his voice darkened a little "where the hell have you been all day"

My words stumbled slightly as I tired to  think of what to say

"I-I have been with my parents and enjoying the day" I said and smiled slightly. He looked at me like he was trying to see though me but just nodded

"Okay, well I'm going to get ready, btw sack the maid with the curly blond hair, she's shit in bed" he said as though it was nothing even though he had just had sex with her while married to me

"You slept with her" I asked disgusted, even though what did I expect. He didn't respect me.

"Well you was there" his voice was raised "I mean she wasn't too keen, had to pin her down" oh god I felt so sick "she wasn't like you, no one is like you" his voice lifted to a seductive tone as he moved closed to me. I stepped back and he reached his hands out "her skin wasn't as soft, her hair wasn't as silky" I could feel vomit rising in my throat as he grabbed ahold of my neck and began to move his other hand down it "so beautiful" his voice was a rapy rasp now and I wanted more than ever to be at the lake.
