Reign

Chapter 10

I wake up to an empty bed, it must be still early since Greer still hasn't come to waken me

I roll over and lay my face on Theo's pillow and take in the scent and smile

Its smells like him. Fresh mint. I've always loved his scent

I close my eyes for a couple of seconds and spring up from laying down

All the memories from yesturday, William and I kissing and him wanting me for "other purposes"

I shake my head as if to clear the thought from my head. It doesn't work

I get dressed and do my regular morning rountines

I almost trip over my own feet while walking to the dining room to meet Theo for breakfast

I really hope he doesn't know 

I think over and over to myself

I make my way into the dining room and find Theo already standing and when he sees me he makes his way towards me, he's walking pretty fast. But the expression on his face is emotionless. I can't read it. 

I clutch onto my dress and start backing away from him

He grabs both of my arms and pulls me towards him

"How dare you." He almost hisses in my face

I'm taken back from his behavior, but then I think about what he's saying and realise what he must be talking about

"What are you talking about?" I act like I know nothing

"I wake up this morning, walk downstairs and one of my servents tell me that he saw you walk into William's room last night." He almost hollers

"Theo please, let me explain-" I beg and hold onto his pure white shirt that had just been ironed

He backs away like I'm garbage that he had just seen

He stares at me like he doesn't know me, like I'm a stranger

"Theo," I start "Please, just let me tell you what happened. All we did was kiss, that's all. Nothing more."

He sighs a breath of relief but the anger on his face is still there

"How could you betray me like this? I trusted you, I told you my personal past!" He yells at me

Tears sting in my eyes "You can't be mad at me! You did the same thing!" I shout back

He starts walking towards me again and says "Is this what it's all about? To get your revenge on me?" He almost chuckles

I think about it for a second. Did I do it to get revenge? Did he make me so angry that the only way to make myself feel better is for another man to touch me? 

I shake my head "No, it was all in the moment, I wasn't thinking. We weren't thinking Theo!"

At that moment William walks into the room, he looks at me and see's my face and furrows his eyebrows then looks at Theo

"What's the matter?" He asks 

Theo turns to him and the sadness on his face is replaced quickly with anger 

He walks swiftly towards William and yells "You bastard!" And punches him in the face

William falls to the ground

I gasp in shock and run over to get Theo off of William

William looks at Theo "Theo, what is the meaning of this?!" He yells
