Chasing My Princess

The devil has returned

Chapter 5: The devil has returned
Setting: Abylle Palace
Recap: Princess Sophie told her story about Cole. She also gave Prince Troy the tour and boy, the tension was in the air. Sophie tried to escape it but Troy didn't let her until he just told her the biggest secret of his life.

**************
No, no, no, it's impossible. He can't be him. He can't be.

"C-cole?", I stutter.

I feel like a huge lump formed in my now dried throat. My tears are starting to from in the corner of my eyes.

He is just looking down, damn it!

" Tory, I-I'm so sorry. I truly am", he slowly looks up and our eyes meet.

Anger starts to build up and I can't fight the urge to slap him.

Slap!

"How dare you?! How dare you come back in my life?! After all these years, the devil has finally returned. And now what? You're going to destroy me and hurt me again?! No! I won't let you do that, you asshole. You're not fucking contented with what you have. Tell me! Why did you come back?! Is it because she dumped you and replaced you with another man?! Well, guess what, you're not welcome in my life, never! and also, let me tell you, karma hit you very well, you bastard", I am now hyperventilating. Did I ever mention I'm asthmatic? Well, now you know.

"Tory, calm down", he catches me as my knees felt week.

I need my inhaler.

"Where's your inhaler?", he read my mind.

" I-In m-my p-purse", he grabs my purse on the floor.

I need oxygen.... Oh my god, help me...

He takes out my inhaler and hands it to me. I immediately puff out the medicine.

My breathing starts to go back to normal. Thank god

"Are you okay now?", he asks.

" Get off of me", I push him away. I don't like to be in the arms of an asshole.

I'm sorry for my language but my patience is as thin as a thread.

"Look, Tory, hear me out. I'm sorry, really sorry. I know a sorry can't change anything but give me a chance. Let me make it up to me, please, I want my best friend back",

" Sophie, it's Sophie. Only my family calls me Tory. I already lost my best friend, he broke my heart.", as tears roll down my cheeks, I can feel that he is already a stranger, he isn't the Cole I knew.

He tries to wipes my tears so I move my head. Don't you dare touch me

"Please, at least give me a second chance to be your friend again", that kinda disappointed me. What the hell, Sophie. He just freaking left you because he impregnated a freaking cheerleader, don't ever forget that.

It seems like my subconscious mind also has no filter when angry. Well, I don't blame her, I blame this guy in front of me.

"What happened?", I ask. I straighten up my posture trying to look strong and confident. That's what all princesses do right? Typical stereotypes

He looks at me in the eyes and opens his mouth but decides to close it, damn he really needs to explain or else I'll lose my sanity.

He looks to the ground and finally speaks up, " S-She lost our child"

Oh my god, I didn't know. I just want to run to him and hug him with all my life but no, I already gained my self respect and I should give him what he deserves.

"Good for you", I say angrily.

Oh my god, I didn't mean that. Stupid, Sophie

He looks at me with hurt in his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry, Prince Troy. But I have to get going now, my parents will be waiting for me, feel free to roam around the palace", I say hesitantly.

I was about to turn to my heels when he said, "I know you're angry, To-"

"Sophie", I warn him.

" I'm sorry, Sophie. I really am, I won't stop fighting until I earn your trust again"

"Well, that would be a lot harder for you when you kissed me in the bathroom"

"I'm sorry, I just lost control and-and-and damn it! I still love you!"

His words took me back. He still loves me? He never loved me.

I look at him in shock, my lips parted.

Well, you don't love him anymore, right, dear?

Of course, the stronger and braver Sophie is here.

"So? That doesn't matter anymore. The only important thing is that I've already moved on and I will never ever do the same mistake again", emphasizing the last three words.

I am shocked by what my mouth has just said.

He looked more hurt than before but I don't care. That wasn't equal as to what I felt after he left me.

I walk away hoping he wouldn't catch up to me. I sigh in relief after I step foot in my room.

Luke's POV

"Damn it! I want every fucking employee to pass their assigned tasks tomorrow 5 am, do you understand?", I am standing and shouting in front of my useless personal assistant.

"Y-yes, sir", she replies obviously scared.

She should be, I'm not the man who you should be messing with.

If I won't be able to collect all those documents until 10 am, I would loose the deal.

The deal that made my father proud.

I grab my phone and text the love of my life, Mia Muggie

Me
Hey, babe. You busy tonight? I'll take you out

I really need a break from all these problems right now.

Babe
Oh, I'm sorry, babe. I'm having an overnight shift. Maybe next time.

Wait what? Did she just turn me down? She never had an overnight shift before. This can't be happening.

There's something wrong

Stuffing my phone back in my pocket, I grab my coat and walk towards my Lamborghini.

I immediately step on the gas and my car instantly left in a roar.
