Against The Storm

CHAPTER SEVEN

Chapter Seven

Cassandra's POV

I woke up feeling all groggy and hungry. I stood from the bed and walked over to the bathroom to take a warm shower which by the way was very refreshing, I went into the walk-in closet and picked up a straight white off-shoulder dress which hung onto my body bringing out all of my curves.

I wasn't comfortable with the dress but I had no other option than to wear it since Mr arrogant doesn't want me to wear my old clothes it was cheap and demeaning to his status. I let my hair flow free on my shoulder and slipped my legs in pink flat shoes.

Who knew in a matter of weeks I'll be living with the prince of Andalusia, carrying his child and wearing fancy clothes. I thought as I went down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Good morning Mary." I greeted Mary who was busy preparing some food,

"Morning, Ma'am, hope you had a nice night?" Mary asked and I smiled.

"Yes, I did, Mary what is for breakfast? I'm starving."

"Creamed eggs on toast Ma'am," Mary answered while she stirred something in a bowl.

"Okay, and please call me Cassandra or Cass for a short. Stop with all the formalities."

"Okay, Ma'_Cass."

"Better." I smiled at Mary and took a seat at the dining table. A few minutes later, Prince Rodriguez came down the stairs and took a seat opposite from me on the dining table.
Looking as dashing as always, he was dressed in a dark blue suit, his long black hair was properly combed on top of his head.

"Good morning sir." Mary greeted him while she dished some eggs on his plate.

"Morning Mary." He replied.

"Thank you," I said to Mary who dished some food on my plate.

"I'll be in the garden if you need anything," Mary curtsied and walked away.

I immediately dug into my food cause I was starving. Not sparing a glance at Mr arrogant since he refused to acknowledge my presence, I'll also ignore him.

"Mmmm, this food is delicious," I said while savoring the taste of the delicious meal.

"Don't you know anything about table manners at all? You shouldn't talk while eating." Prince Rodriguez frowned at me and continued eating. I felt sudden anger resurface in me but I chose to ignore whatever he was saying instead I continued eating.

"I am talking to you." He stated trying to gain my attention but I still ignored him. "You know it is rude to ignore whenever someone is talking to you." He added.

"Don't you know anything about table manners at all your highness you shouldn't talk while eating," I shook my head at him and smiled inwardly as I saw his face heat up in anger?

That is what you get for insulting me. I
smiled victoriously.

He stood up from his seat, walked towards me, and sat on the table in front of me.

"Miss Valdez, I will advise you to watch that mouth of yours or it might get you in lots of trouble one day." He said.

"Mr. Astley, I'll advice you to stop insulting people because not everyone will take insults lightly," I stood up from my seat and went up the stairs to my room. I was done with my food anyway.

Minutes later I heard the sound of a car driving out of the mansion which meant that Mr arrogant as left for work.

I spent most of the day up in my room, as promised by prince Rodriguez I got my phone so I busied myself watching movies on YouTube. Later on, I phoned Martha.
