Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 76

song of chapter: I can't breathe by bea Miller

Alexandra's POV

I swallowed hard, breathing heavily listening to the loud blasted music from downstairs.

I was nervous.
I didn't know why. I just was.

Why does it feel like I'm getting married. It's just a baby shower. Potentially almost everyone I know, everyone William knows will be there.

And it is a televised event.

I stared in the mirror at my appearance.

The only reason I think I was so nervous was because deep down inside a part of thought that William might ask me to marry him again.

In front of everyone.
I mean I love him.
You know you love him, Alexandra.

Just say yes. It's a simple question.
"marry me", his voice repeated in my head.

I was brought out my thoughts when the door opened; I looked to see Austin in his tuxedo and his broken arm which was in a cast.

I slightly smiled.
"They're ready for you", he says.
I breathed.

"okay", I say fixing my hair behind my shoulders, following him outside of my room.

Walking down the long hallway trying to contain my breathing and my nerves.

"You look beautiful, Ms. Leighton", Austin said stopping before the stairs which led down to the audience of people.

"Flattery is gonna get you fired", I smirked.

"Enjoy your night. Just remember I'm only a button away. If you feel threatened or scared, press the button", he reminded me that there just happened to be a emergency button on my dress that looked like a button to the dress.

It would signal both the police & Austin.

I'm guessing William was serious about this whole protecting me thing. I mean I don't blame him. I am carrying his child.

I nodded; softly smiling, walking down the stairs getting the attention of what felt like a thousand.

The room was decorated with a lot of pink. Pink balloons. Pink cake. Pink this. Pink that.
It's like someone threw up pink paint everywhere.

There were so many people with cameras, and lights that blinded me. But the one person to catch my eye the most happened to be William himself.

He stood holding a champagne glass in his hand; he looked as if he had been speaking to his father & brother.

Once noticing me, he passed his glass to his father and slowly made his way towards the end of the stairs.

Placing his hand out; which I grabbed.
I swallowed hard before speaking, "this is a lot just for a baby shower", I said.

"I know. But tonight has to be special. For us. For her", he said referring to our babygirl that was growing in my stomach.

Tonight?
Special?

He's gonna purpose to again isn't he.
God no.

This isn't good.
I needed to talk to him.

Before I could turn to say anything the loud and squeamish voice of Amber spoke.
