Until death do us part BWS

Chapter 17 - secrets

It had been a few weeks since I returned to the castle after more argument with Bradley, we had been getting along much better and didn't seem to be clashing heads. I was sitting in my bedroom with a book white Xander leaning against my chest. I smiled softly, as he curled his tiny body up into a ball.
"I don't care what you think, I will never tell her," I hear Bradley's voice. I jump slightly not knowing what he was talking about. I lay Xander on the couch while I make my way towards the door to see what Bradley was shouting at. I press my ear against the door and listen to see if I can hear anything.
"But she will find out," I hear another voice say, much calmer than Bradley's.
"I DO NOT CARE I AM NOT TELLING HER DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!," I hear Bradley shout even louder, I hear him bash his fist against the wall.
Then everything goes silent, I'm so curious as to what it was they were talking about. I open the door and look around to see if anyone was there.  I wonder the halls noticing the grand halls doors were wide open. I tip toe towards the door as I notice Bradley was there.
"Listen I am not telling her," he says to his parents. I peer my head in to see what they were doing, he looked so stressed.
"Son listen to reason, she must know," the queen states firmly.
"No im not telling her about Catherine," he shouts. I felt like a bullet went through my heart, who is this girl and why is he talking to another woman.
"Son she was your first wife, just because it didn't work out with you two you are still married and you have to tell her," the king explains. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I gulp loudly causing all of them to look at the door including Bradley who sees a glimpse of me, I run for the safety of my room with Bradley hot on my trail. I reach the door and shove it open quickly closing it behind me. I pick the door, panting for breath.
"Lindsey open the door," Bradley says.
"No just leave me alone for a bit please," I plead.
"LINDSEY OPEN THE DOOR NOW," he demands.
"Bradley please just go please," I beg tears fishing down my face. He stops banging on the door and leaves me be. Once he is gone I let my whole body will done until my knees were up to my face. I don for what felt like forever, my tears flooding down my face.
"Mummy," Xander says, rubbing his sweet little eyes.
"Why are you sad," he asks, he hugs me causing me to feel so sorry for him, he ha stop watch his own mother and father getting so angry at each other all the time.
"Nothing sweetie," I say rubbing the tears from my eyes, I kiss his forehead.
"Come on you need to go to bed," I say with a weak smile. I carry him to my bed and tuck him in close beside me, I wasn't tardy to speak to Bradley not yet. I need time to think about what this means for us and Xander!
