A Prince's Love

Chapter 37

*Unedited* 

Two Days Later...

Afia sits in the back of her father's silver Benz, gazing out the window quietly as her parents have their own conversation in the front seats. It was almost five in the evening as they drove on the busy roads. The King and Queen had arrived back at the castle in the morning and Mr. Nelson decided that Afia needs to inform them about Danny's recent behaviour before the day ends so that they can take further actions to deal with the issue.

Her parents noticed that Afia was more irritable than usual for the last couple of days. They gave her space, thinking she was still upset about Danny's relationship with Maadwoa. That was part of the reason but that's not what triggered her anger the last couple of days. Two days ago, after she called Danny to taunt him about Maadwoa, he called her back about two hours later. She picked up hoping that he would beg for forgiveness but she was so wrong.

'Aw, you're calling to apologise aren't you?' she asks when she picks up.

'I don't even know what to say to you.' Danny responds with a scoff.

'Well, most apologies start with 'I'm s--'

'I thought Satan was in the pits of hell, not knowing that he was actually on Earth, residing in your soul.' he says menacingly.

'Excuse me?' Afia questions, sitting up from her reclined position on the bed.

'You never cease to baffle me with how wicked you are. Do you just enjoy watching others suffer? Does it keep you alive?'

'How dare you? How dare you speak to me like that?"

'And how dare you send someone to hurt Maadwoa like that? Do you know how badly he hurt her? It could've been worse had her friends not walked in.'

'I warned all of you that I wasn't going to go easy on her after she stole you from me. Because of her, you had the guts to call me rubbish and admit that you two are together. She deserved whatever happened to her and I'd gladly do it again.' she retorts coldly.

'You have no heart.' he whispers resentfully.

"Oh, I do. It's divided into four chambers and pumps blood throughout my body. What does yours do?' she innocently asks.

'You think you're so special because you're rich and pretty but you're really not. You're a terrible person with an ugly heart and you don't deserve to become royal.'

Taken aback, she gulps and remains quiet. Danny scoffs at her silence.

'You're going to be punished for what you did to her. I will make sure you end up behind bars with your little friend.' he continues.

'You put Kelvin in jail? All because of that village rat?' she exclaims incredulously.

'And he's going to stay there for a while. But don't worry, you will reunite with him very soon.' Danny remarks.

Afia hums, smiling to herself.

'Dannybear, I can't go to jail. Even if you try, I'm going to soon be your wife and I know your parents wouldn't let that happen to me. Besides, my dad is filthy rich. I'd get out on bail that same day. So, it looks like I get away with this one. Sorry not sorry.'

Danny squeezes his eyes shut, knowing she was right. Knowing that she would get away with this made his fingers tighten around the phone.

'You will get what's coming to you. I know you will. And about becoming my wife, we may have the ceremony and I may read out some fake vows that I'll find on Google, but I do not and will never have feelings for you. You are simply unlovable.' he seethes, knowing where to stab the knife and twist it.
