Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 65

Alexandra's POV

I stood over William, wiping his face with a wet rag. He was hot as hell.

"I've got it, Ms. Leighton", Ally said walking into the room.
I slightly smiled, before walking out.

I stormed out the hallway and downstairs.
"What the hell happened to keeping it low key?", I asked Mike & Matt with my arm widen opened.

"It wasn't us. Anne— she somehow got Victoria to confess", Matt explained.

"So wait— you knew?", Luke asked.
"Yeah. That day I went I missing, I was with them. They told me everything. I wanted to tell you— to tell Will. But I knew I couldn't— I don't know if I still can", I explained.

"So your telling my wife if a murder, rapist?", Chuck asked.

"Attempted", I corrected him.
"And you should also start filing for a divorce, she'll try to use your money to help her out of the court of law", Matt suggested.

"So what are we gonna do?", I asked.
They all turned at me with confusion.
"I mean— when Will wakes up. Whose gonna tell him?", I asked.

They all stared at me, after glancing at each other.

"You", Mike said.
"What? No- I already helped you guys enough. Will deserves to hear it from you", I say pointing at Mike.

"He loves you & your pregnant with his child. Be there for him, like he has been for you. I'm not saying- tell him everything but he deserves to know the truth— even if it hurts him. He needs to know what his mother did to our family", he said.

"I still don't understand why it has to be me", I say.
Footsteps enter the room.

We all turned to see Ally.
"He's awake", she said.
I turned back to them, sighing.

After walking up the stairs, I entered the room.
William laid on the bed, with a frightened look worn on his face.

"You won't believe the nightmare I just had", he said.

I slowly shut the door, while leaning on it, I began to speak.

"About that— everything you saw before passing out, did happen", I say.

"How is this even possible?", he asked running his finger through his hair.

I slowly approached him, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"The day of the car crash, it wasn't a drunk driver who had crashed into your fathers limo. It was Victoria.", I explained.

He shook his head, "I don't believe you. My mother may do a lot of things but she would never tried to kill her own husband and son", He said.

"You wouldn't know what she would do, Will. She literally paid a guy to have sex with me. Who knows what else she is capable of", I say.

"How long?", he asked.
"What?", I asked him.
"How long did you know my dad & brother were alive?", he asked.

"Will- he cut me off, "How long, Alexandra?", he asked.
"A couple of weeks but I wanted to tell you everything, but I couldn't. Your dad— he cut me off, "get out", he said as tears formed in both of our eyes.

"Will", I say trying to reason with him.
"Get out!", he shout scaring me.

I got off the bed, walking towards the door, before exiting, I turned and said something.

"You know— all I ever wanted to do was protect you, but I clearly see that wasn't even enough. For you", I say before walking out.

I closed the door, breathing heavily.
Tears streaming down my cheeks.
This was exactly what i didn't want happening but it did.

I walked back downstairs, going into the family room where everyone sat.

"so?", Matt asked before standing up.

"Well, now it's official. He thinks we're the ones lying- I tried to explain it, but he wouldn't even let me get through a sentence", I say crossing my arms.

"How do you think he took it?", Luke asked.

"He just found out His Father and brother is alive, along with that his mother was the one who tried to like them, and the fact that I knew and didn't tell him. How do you think he took it?", I asked sarcastically rolling my eyes.

"He'll get over it. We have other important things to worry about then William's feelings", Chuck say.

"Agreed. So what's next?", Mike asked.
"What's next? Your telling me you didn't this part of the plan through?", I asked him.

"We need but I don't think your going to like it", Matt said.
"And What is it?", I asked approaching him.

-

I sighed— "do it for William", Mike said as a remember.

"William is the only reason I'm doing this", I say sitting down on the chair. As I watched as Keith wearing a orange jumpsuit from behind the other side of glass, sit down.

With a officer standing behind him, "you got 6 minutes", the officer told him.
I began to shake my legs, my throat began to get dry.

I didn't want to see him.
I didn't want to remember.
I hated him.

I clinched my jaw, reaching for the phone, as he reached for it and placed against his ear.

"Orange suits you. So much for leaving Saturday morning, huh?", I smirked.

"Look, Alexandra— I cut him off, "I talk, you listen— I didn't come here to listen to your apologies. I came here for information", I say.

"Information on what?", he asked.
"Don't play dumb with me, Keith. You know exactly what I'm talking about", I said.

"Okay, What about Victoria?", he asked.
"I know you didn't tell the officer all of the story, so now your going to tell me.", I say.

He sighed, before looking over his shoulder, and leaning into the phone.

"And you better hurry because we only have 4 minutes, so talk— or I'll make sure the only sunlight you ever get to see, is behind those four little bars in your permanent prison cell", I said so seriously.

His expression changed from straight to smirking, "told you everyone has a dark side, even you", he said.

He was right.
I did have a dark side.
But this was only half of it.
