Just As We Were Married (COMPLETED)

Chapter Eleven

"Why won't they listen to me?"

Adrien stuffed his arms in his hoodie as he wondered the garden.

It was obvious that something was up with Prince Nathaniel and Lila Rossi, but why couldn't anyone but him see it?

"Stupid Prince, dumb model," He mumbled, kicking a stone.

"What's your problem?"

Adrien jumped at hearing his sister's voice.

Adrienne said on the bench near the fountain, book in her hand.

"Jesus Christ, Adrienne! You can't just to something like that!" Adrien exclaimed, placing a hand over his racing heart. "What if I had pulled my gun and shot you?"

"What's wrong? How did the meeting go?" She asked eagerly.

Marin didn't want her to attend the meeting, he was afraid some fight would break out and she's get hurt.

"Well, I suspect two - maybe three - people, but no one agrees with me!" He exclaimed, plopping down beside her on the bench.

"Who are they?" Adrienne asked her angry brother.

"Lila Rossi and Prince Nathaniel," He answered, but Adrienne said nothing. "What is it?"

"That's kind of unbelievable. Why'd Nathaniel and Lila want Marinette?" She said slowly not wanting to anger Adrien, but it didn't work.

"You too, huh?" Adrien glared at her. "You think it's so impossible and ridiculous?"

"Adrien-,"

"No, it's fine. You don't have to believe me. Nino and Alya will help me no matter how ridiculous I sound or how stupid the thought is," Adrien said before getting up and marching off into the castle.

"It's not that I don't believe you, Adrien. I'm just not sure if it's possible," Adrienne said to no one.

Chloe's eyes shot open. She was surrounded by a blanket of darkness.

'Where am I?' She thought, her eyes darting around the dark room.

The lights suddenly came on. Chloe squinted, trying to adjust to the new-found light.

"You're finally awake," Someone said. Chloe looked up and saw Nathaniel.

"What do you want with me?" She croaked out. Her throat was dry and her voice was hoarse.

"I think you know that already. You were planning to betray me, Chloe. I could have your head for that," He said, mixing around his wine before taking a sip.

"What you and Lila are doing is wrong, Nathaniel. You don't know Adrien as I do, if he finds out you have the princess, only God knows what he'll do to you," Chloe warned and pulled at her arms only to realize that they were chained together, so were her legs.

Nathaniel felt a shiver run down his spine. It was no secret that Adrien could be as cruel as his father when he got angry and he definitely did not want to be the source of the young Prince's anger.

Nathaniel scoffed none the less, "You think I'm scared of him? He can't touch me without proof of me having the princess! And there's no way he'd get proof unless you open your big mouth."
