Not your average Cinderella story(ON HOLD)

By your Side

"Why are you here? Don't you have a wife to dance with?" I snapped looking at Cassius made my heart yearn for his touch, I shook the feelings away and left my emotions neutral.

"I thought you were dead. He had a funeral service for you! I always hoped it wasn't true, now you're standing in front of me. I can't believe this?" Cass mumbled.

"Do you believe everything my father told you?" I bitterly asked crossing my arms across my chest.

"It's not his fault." Jake interrupted.

"Well Jake I never took you to be here sticking up for him, actually I never imagined you would be apart of us. What changed your mind?" I spat out.

"I am here for my family, don't accuse us for what your father done to you." Jake snapped, as long as I knew him he never treated me bad or snapped at me. Until now, which explains why my fist balled up and flew across the air hitting him square in the jaw.

"You're insane!" he shouted.

"Being in a coma changes you." I answered turning my back away and started walking.

"Kris we need to talk." Cassius stated while grabbing my arm.

"Why would I want to talk to you? We're not getting married, you were never my friend, oh and you are a jerk to me. So tell me something that will make me stay and talk if not screw you." I answered.

"I was shot with an arrow the night you ended up in a coma" He commented. My face drained, my heart dropped my breath hitched. No, this isn't true.

"Who shot you?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"You and I both know who was capable of shooting me." He whispered.

"That was a dream. It wasn't real." I stated snatching my arm out of his warm embrace.

Slamming my door shut as I entered didn't help the way I felt. He knew about my dreams, how? I threw my self on the bed and screamed. My door flew open, not bothering to look at who barged in uninvited.

"I know you're mad, but listen to me. I'm not married I've waited by your bed every dam day Kristalia. I just left a month ago to handle something with my father." He stated as he closed the door behind him.

"You are an excellent liar. Bravo you put on a great show ol chap." I answered clapping my hands. I felt my bed dip making me sit up he was sitting at the foot of my bed.

"Tyler shot me because I punched him and stole you away. He chased us through the forest, and you helped me. I would have died if it wasn't for you." He confessed.

"It was a dream, there was no Tyler! Just go back to your wife okay."  I stubbornly stated.

"We're not married yet, just listen to me please." He begged.

"Yet, so you're getting married still. Why are you here talking to me when Penelope is obviously the one you wanted from the beginning." I answered. Crossing my arms. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked me in the eyes.

"I love you. Just because your father paid my father to end the engagement and is forcing me to marry Penelope my heart belongs to you." He confessed and stood up. I was in shock from what he just said.

"I know you hate me, but I promise you one day we will be together. I mean it Kris I do love you." With that he walked out of my room. I didn't know if I should believe him

or not. A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts getting out of bed I answered the door and came face to face with Penelope. Her arms were crossed and she looked like she just smelled something bad.

"Listen I'm not here to say welcome back I'm here to warn you. Stay away from Cassius, if he leaves me for you again I will have you exhaled and killed from your own kingdom. I have authority now considering my mother is with your father. Now leave my future husband alone." She threatened, hearing those words made something in me snap. I couldn't control my anger any longer I snatched her hair and slammed her head into the wall.

"Do not threaten me ever again." I hissed at her letting her go, she fell to the floor holding onto her new and improved broken nose. I slammed the door shut and went to get dressed out of this gown. I grabbed my keys and left the castle, I couldn't stay here any longer today I needed out. I needed freedom. To feel the wind in my hair, the ocean breeze nip my skin. I made it to the car park, I was startled when I saw Vince standing by his bike he smirked at me and offered his hand.

"Come along Princess were going for a ride." He stated. I climbed on his bike behind him grabbing onto his waist. He started the bike with a kick and it roared to life. He sped off out of the castle gates, passing by all the shops and out of the town we finally reached the ocean roads. Vince stopped at a cliff facing the ocean view it was my first time here and it was fantastic. He helped me off his bike and watched me as I took in the view.

"Beautiful isn't it? I pass by it every time I visit. I'm sorry about everything that happened today." He commented as he stood next to me.

"It's not your fault but thank you." I replied as I leaned my head on his shoulder, instantly his arm wrapped around me sending shivers to shoot down my spine.

"You know he loves you Kris, your dad just forced him away." He confessed and lead me to a bench.

"I don't want anything to do with him. He made my life miserable, just because we shared the same dream he thinks he loves me that's bonkers Vincent. We both know our differences are bigger than that." I truthfully stated.

"You're pretty stubborn woman." He joked and pulled me closer to him.

"Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?" I asked.

"Mostly to protect you, I was sent here to be one of your new suitors. I met the others and they seem off. I mean they're not even prince's." He bitterly stated.

"Really? Everyone thought I was dead why have suitors?" I asked.

"Well a month ago your body moved,not much but it was something. He was threatened by that sudden movement and sent a message to all the kingdom for warrior suitors. I was in the office when my father received it. I denied our warriors to become your suitor and accepted my self. I promised Cass I wouldn't let anyone else take you away. I just didn't plan on falling for you so fast. Everyday sitting in your room watching your lifeless body made me fall deeper for you. I know it's wrong because of your history with Cass and he loves you, but so do I." He whispered. I was shocked but also happy at the same time. Like I said before I've always liked Vince, and him confessing his love for me melted my heart.

"Vincent thank you" I answered and kissed his cheek. I blushed at him and gave him a small smile.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"For always being there by my side. I may like Cassius but I've always liked you more." I answered truthfully.

"You have and why was that?"

"Because your hot." I winked at him and he starred at me shocked at what I just said.

"Only because I'm hot?"

"You know it" I said teasing him some more. I refused to tell him the real reason, and that was the simple fact he accepted the suitor invitation while Cassius just simply stepped down. If Cassius can't step up to my father how would I know he is really ready to rule my kingdom? Vincent proven that fact to me that he will go up against my father to protect me, that's what earned him my trust. He was there when I woke up, he was the first one to warn me about the storm. He was the one who helped me escape the dungeon when I was locked up.When Cassius would hurt me he was there telling him to leave me alone, he would get me to smile again. Vincent was always the one by my side, protecting me when I least suspected it.

"Vincent?" I asked looking into his eyes, they were beautiful and they mesmerized me.

"Yes my princess?" He politely asked looking back at me.

"I love you too." I confessed.
