Chapter Eight

Cassandra's POV

Two months later

Two months have passed and I have avoided prince Rodriguez like he was a plague ever since he confronted me about Austin. I hardly even see him since he goes to work early before I wake up in the morning and comes back late in the night after I've gone to sleep.

I've made friends with Emelia, ever since she came back from Paris. She has been so nice to me and today she's taking me to the mall to do some shopping. I dressed in a pink knee-length flared dress which covered my small baby bump, packed my hair in a tight ponytail, and wore black flats.

I went downstairs to meet Emelia who was already waiting for me. She was dressed in a red off-shoulder dress which hung on to her body bringing out her perfect curves, her auburn hair was styled in a bun. She looked really beautiful as always.

"Morning Emelia, sorry I kept you waiting I wasn't feeling well." I apologized.

"You're not feeling well, do you want to stay home and rest. I mean you don't have to go to the mall if you are not feeling well," Emelia said her expression showed concern.

"No, no, I'm fine, let's go." I held unto Emelia's hand pulling her to the door.

I don't want to stay at home, prince Rodriguez is staying home today, I don't want to be around him. I thought and then I saw prince Rodriguez walk up to us.

Speak of the devil.

"Is everything okay?" He asked Emelia.

"Cass isn't feeling well, so I asked her to stay at home and rest since you are going to be around, but she insists on going to the mall with me," Emelia explained to him.

"Uuhhh, I'm fine Emelia," I said through clenched teeth. The prince walked towards me staring at me intently, his eyes were boring into mine.

What is it with the staring? I could smell his strong male scent and cologne since he was just a foot away from me now. I suddenly felt sick, I could feel my breakfast of sandwiches and fruit juice come up to my throat.

"Get out of the way," I warned but he remained where he stood not moving an inch.

"Why? What is wrong Cass?" Emelia asked but before I could reply I threw up all over Prince Rodriguez, I puked all over his sweatshirt and joggers.

"Jesus, Cass are you alright?" Emelia walked over to me with a concerned face.

"Yes, I am f-" I vomited all over again on prince Rodriguez, who looked like he had just seen a ghost. After emptying all the contents of my stomach, Emelia helped me inside my room to clean myself up and change into clean clothes. After changing my clothes, I lay on my bed feeling disappointed that I could no longer go to the mall. I have been looking forward to it. I haven't left the house, all I do all day is to stay in my room reading novels or watching movies.

"Cass, I am sorry for putting you through all of this." Emelia apologized to me her face filled with tears.

"I'm fine, stop crying or you're going to make me cry," I said to stop Emelia from crying.

"Okay, I'll have Mary make something for you to eat."

"Okay," I said then Emelia's loud ringtone rang through the room.
