Married To A Duke

🍀Chapter 7🍀

🍁Diamond🍁

We reached home as i sat on the bed. i broke my ankle and i didn't want him  to see so i hid my legs.
"Thank you ", i said staring at him.
"Are you really fine?",he asked and i rolled my eyes.
"It's none of your business", I snapped.
"No, it is my business",he states and here we go again with our mere argument.
"Just drop it. I don't want to talk to you"
To my surprised he sat close to me, "I'm sorry, Diamond"
"Don't you dare. She kissed you and you didn't apologise then"
I rolled my eyes turning to the other side.
"Please I wanted to before you got hurt",he apologised.
I moved away and away from him to the other side of the bed.
I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone.
I'm hurt right now.
First it was him and now its my best friend.
I can't believe he confessed his love for me.
"I'm sorry but it's your fault",he snaps as my heart boils.
What a nerve to put a blame on me after he kissed her.
"My fault that you kissed her!! My fault that you signed her breasts!!"
"Yes it is .All you ever do to me is shout, insult and push me away!", he shouts and that's was the first time i knew he was angry too.
"Why Diamond?",he said softly and i groaned.
I moved to the bathroom and slammed the door on his face.
I sat on the floor, hugging my legs. I don't know why my heart is burning so much as if it want to boil and my throat is too sore to talk.
I don't know why I'm so angry at everything that happened today.
He knocked on the door, "Diamond please open the door"
I didn't mind. I just sat there.
Suddenly i heard the sound of the keys and the door opened.
He stared at me.
I don't know how he opened the door but i don't care.
"What are you doing here?",i asked.
He knelt down in front of me, "Diamond you are hurt and i have to treat your wound"
"Leave me alone please",I begged trying my best not to cry.
He stared at me and i know that look.
That I-wanna-carry-you look.
And he did carry me in his arms.
"I don't need your help...I can walk",i snapped.
"Don't be stubborn",he said and placed me on the bed.
He sat down on the bed with the first aid box, "Please let me treat your ankle"
"Go away",i said softly resting my head  on the pillow.
He held my leg as i pulled away.
He pulled it with force and he treat my wound before bandaging my ankle.
I cried covering my face with the pillow.

What's wrong with her?
About the girl who kissed me, was she jealous?
She never liked anything I do.
She never liked me, let alone kiss her, anything and now she is jealous.
I wish i knew what's going on in her head.
I stared her as she sobbed silently in the pillow.
I slept behind her, turning her to face me.
"Do you hate me?",I asked.
"I always do",she sobbed.
"Thanks for being honest"
I wiped her tears with my thumb and i kissed her forehead.
Maybe i need to give her space to think.
Did i say space?
No, not space. I'm actually leaving to Cordonia without her.
If she feels something, she will come to Cordonia.
I saw her slowly breathing with her eyes closed.
I stared at her several times and then i packed my clothes.
Paid for all hotel debts.
"See you soon, Diamond",i kissed her forehead and closed the door quietly.
My body guards took my bag and we entered inside the car heading to the Airport.
I closed my eyes staring at the ring on my finger and slowly smile.
I switched off my phone.

i woke up and look around.
"Christian",I shouted but heard nothing.
I ran outside and saw all your cars gone.
"He left me"
I started crying.
"He left me all alone"
I wiped my tears and waited till the next day at the hotel but the room was just empty.
I slowly pack my stuffs and moved to my apartment.
He is gone, Diamond. Just be yourself and move on.
I don't know whether to go back to back to William.
I can't go back there. I will just be at home and learn everything i need to learn on the internet.
Day one.
I read articles and novels and articles on my laptop.
I just chewing pop corn while i read.
I watched a romantic movie and end up crying with the popcorn in my mouth.
"He left me",i pushed the laptop away and cried more till i went to bed.
Day two.
I saw my mom name on the screen and I decided to decline the call. I don't want to talk to anyone. I just want to be alone.
All alone.
I place earpiece in my ears, listening to music trying to change my mood till i heard "Thousand years", by Christiana Perri.
My throat felt lump and i tried not cry.
I won't cry for anyone he doesn't deserve my tears.
No one does not even Christian.
I didn't realise when my cheeks were wet.
Day three.
I felt his hands on my cheeks and i opened my eyes, "Christian?"
He smiled at me, "I missed you"
"I missed you too ",I hugged him.
"Why did you leave me?"
That's was when i woke up in sweat.
I took my phone and called Thomas.
He is my friend. i met him in the university when he was bullied by some gang. i had to save him.
"Thomas?"
"Diamond. I missed you"
"Me too. Can i see you"
"Yes please"
"Okay, i will be there in 30 mins".

Cordonia was a happy place to be. It was beautiful but I couldn't stop thinking about Diamond.
She doesn't care about me so why should i bother to think about her.
I tour around the country as girls blushed at me.
Alot of people were excited to see me and i was glad about it.
I had a lot of projects to establish and i was so busy.
My sister has been in bed all day.
I just miss her.
I don't want to lose Reena, I love her so much she is my only girl and all I want is for her to be okay.
Since the day I have been back from SA.
I haven't seen her.
But tonight, i need to talk to her.
I went to Reena's room, I sat down next to her bed as I held her hand
"Reena, I really missed you so much",I said.
"I missed you too. How was your trip in S.A."
"It was great",The beautiful memories of Diamond spread through my head.
I smiled.
"How have you been?",i asked.
"Still worse ", She coughs , " I just need to heal me bro"
"I promise I will do everything so you will be fine"
"Thank you",she said weakly.
"You are welcome sis",I kiss her temple.
"Do you want anything?",i asked.
"No. I want to rest"
"Have you eaten? "
"Yes"
i kissed her temple and moved outside.
I closed my eyes.
Why isn't she here? Have she forgot about me.
I moved into my bed. I couldn't stop thinking about her.

"You love him, Diamond. You have fallen in love. I'm glad you are inlove",he raised me up in the sky.
"I'm not in love, Thomas. He left me with my broken ankle"
He raised his brow, "Why are you angry?"
"Because he left me"
"Liar",he said.
"I'm not a liar"
"You are angry because you were jealous for the fact that the lady kissed your husband."
I rolled my eyes.
"Listen Dia, you feel something but you haven't realised it yet. I'm your friend and I can see some changes myself. Why don't you go to Cordonia and scold him for making you fall on stairs, spanking you and carrying around"
I stared at him, "You are right. He deserves some scolding for leaving me"
"That's my girl",Thomas hugged me tight.
"Thanks for everything"
"You are welcome. Lets spend the day together"
i smiled, "okay"
.
In the evening, i checked my laptop for some feedbacks then i saw a picture of Christian in front of an orphanage home.
Oh its a new project.
I continued to read further till i saw his Reena.
I read everything about her and felt sorry.
Hmm...  I need to help her then scold Christian later.
I took my laptop and some money.
I wore my hoodie with jeans. I mean short jeans.
I want him to see me different.
To see me as a woman and not a kid.
I'm 23 years. I need to show him that woman.
At least i will try.
I rushed to the Airport and moved to Cordonia.
Early in the morning, at 7am, i reached Christian home.
It was like a castle with a lot of guards and servants and maids.
I stared around.
I was asked to sit down in the living room waiting for his highness
He was in jeans and shirt.
"Diamond?",he stared at me looking at my short jeans and hoodie.
"Hello husband",i gave a fake smile and kissed his cheeks.
His stared at me with wide eyes. I'm  glad he is surprised to see me.
