Finally. The moment I was waiting for.... has come. The day that I open my center. It's been two months since the last time I saw Kai and Daniel. The reason must be because I am now staying with Simon. Despite of all my worries and fears I have been staying here, Simon has been a gentleman up until now, however that doesn't prevent me from locking my door, leaving the key behind and my balcony door, just to be safe. Well, during our time in broad daylight he's also been behaving though sometimes he did go a bit... far with his jokes and teasing, one day he almost ended up cornering me to one of the rooms this mansion had, he claimed that he was sick and... well, couldn't really stand straight. I had no evidence for a different scenario so... I had to believe that.
- Here you are Regina. I've been searching the entire mansion for you. Simon said, coming to my side rapidly. He seemed excited, I didn't blame, I myself was bursting with excitment.
- What is it Simon? Is it something important?
- Yes. I am happy to announce to you that your parents will be coming here tonight to celebrate with us.
- My parents? That's wonderfull! I've really missed them! Are your parents coming too?
- No, mine are in Mexico right now. Apparently they decided to take a small vacation and enjoy the sun.
- Hehe, I see. Well, one way or another you will have your family here.
- Really?
- Yes, after all we are engaged to each other, meaning that what's mine is also yours. My family is now your family too.
- Do you count as mine?
- Hmm, I believe so. However, I am not your entirely yet. Time however is going to correct this little... problem. I said and caressed his cheek, during these two months he and I had come closer, shearing more of our thoughts and opinions as well as our interests. We went out a few times, propably to make sure to maintain the position of an engaged couple in the eyes of the world. However, it would be a lie if I said I felt romantic emotions towards him, I would also lie if I said that Kai and Daniel hadn't crossed my mind many times. Sometimes I just felt so... empty, that I tried hard to keep my mind clear and not go mad. I recalled memories and moments of love and affection without wishing for it and... in some way, I felt lonely. I guess that these two actually had some sort of meaning in my life, not entirely good yet not entirely bad. It made me go through different phases and sometimes I actually spent a large amount of time thinking about them, about me and about my heart. It consfused and annoyed me so much that I actually had to speak to myself calmingly, something that I never did before in such a daily basis. I thought I was going mad, I had gotten out of a weird situation and now I had entered another. It felt so stupid and pointless, it didn't make any sense to me. Why was I feeling so strange NOW? I snapped back to reality the moment I felt something on my back, it was Simons hand and it was starting to act in a manner that was too... advanced.
- Why let the time progress and fix it. Can't WE fix it? He asked, pulling me closer. I didn't have time to react to his words when I actually found myself being kissed by him. He was... passionate, maybe a bit too passionate, like he was holding back for centuries and now he had finally broken his chains of self control. Something I never really thought of as a good thing. He was trying to convince me to react though it was a bit hard to react to the kiss of a man that I wasn't in love with. However I did my best to kiss him back and make it seem natural. He must have believed it because not only did he became more intense but he was holding me in his hand so tightly that I was afraid my back would snap. I tried to keep him under some sort of meter. Okay, I was going to play along with the kissing but that was as far as things would go. I slowly tried to make him stop by pulling my face away and look at him in the eyes.
- You're really bad on holding up, you know that? I told him and he chuckled.
- And you're an amazing kisser. He replied before giving a small peck in the nose, after that he let go of me and I went back to my room. I dressed up with one of the hundrend dresses Simon had bought for me and for some reason I felt the urge to cry... I... couldn't explain why. I just felt like it, I forced myself to control and then... I failed. In an instant I burst into tears feeling an unbearable sadness and a sorrow I had never experienced before.
- It's a lie.... it's a lie... everything is a lie. I whispered between my cries, the faces of Kai and Daniel, the faces of my family and Simon's expression of adoration. All of these were not real, they were reactions to a lie I had began years ago. Even though I was doing a new headstart I could stilll feel the tight hold of my family's darkness within my heart. This invisible hand was more powerfull than anything in this world, it held my fear and anxiety, my anger and frustration and the love I was so determened to throw away for the sake of a perfect future that was already falling apart in front of my eyes. A life next to Simon... wasn't perfect, a life without me feeling love and happiness for my choices... was not perfect either. It felt like I was destroying my perfect life and my perfect future with my own hands. A questioned popped inside my mind that made me freeze in confusion "If it's not Simon, then who do I love"? A knock in the door made me come back to my senses, I cleaned my face and sat at my large dressing table, placing my hair in a manner that would hide most of my face. Then I gave permission to enter.
- Miss Regina, a package has come for you. A maid said as she came in.
- Who is it from? I asked and she tried to read it unsuccessfully.
- I... I'm sorry I can't read it. She said and I nodded, I told her to place it on my bedside table and then leave. She obeyed silently and after she left I went to open it. In the front there was a symbol of a crown and under that it said "A gift for a future queen" . I was caught off guard, my suprise was huge, not to mention that my curiousity was twice as big. I opened it and inside I found a large black box. I opened it and I saw.... a tiara! There, right before my eyes there was gold tiara with diamonds on it. It was... beautiful, it made feel so happy to see that someone was kind enough to send me such an expensive gift. I wondered who it was, he certainly had to be rich and perhaps someone I knew. I decided to wear it, I was already wearing a white dress so it matched perfectly. Then I finished my little transformation and headed down, When Simon saw me he smiled in awe and his eyes sparkled, I even saw a small blush! I chuckled and approached him, I took his hand and smiled silently.
- Shall we, my dear? He asked me.
- We shall. I answered and with no further hesitation we left for the opening of my animal center. As I walked in the sunlight, I felt my previous sadness and pain gone. This little tiara had performed a miracle. Whoever the person who sent her was, I thanked him or her from the bottom of my heart for this gift.
