"What do you mean he is yours ?he is marrying me!" She asked angrily.
"I mean stay away from him Artemis!" I was tired of being jealous. I was sad , hurt but above all furious.
"I do not see your name written on him" she defended.
"Look Artemis , just leave William alone!" I yelled and strangely everyone in the room looked amused.
"Why?" She asked boring her eyes onto me.
"Because...because" I was thinking of a valid reason and the Queen looked at me hoping that I'd complete my sentence.
What the hell?
"Because?" Artemis eagerly asked.
"Because you should I have a child with him for Christ's sake!" I exclaimed tugging my hair due to frustration.
"Many people have children but marry other people besides I can always be Louis' moth..."
"If you wish to live do not finish that!" I wanted to shut her up badly with a resounding slap but sadly I couldn't.
"Why?" She asked with the same eagerness.
"Because although William and I are going through a tough time I...I..."
I stuttered unable to complete the sentence.
"You...you?" Artemis asked mocking me.
"You what?" She spat.
"I love William" I knew I was a goner after that statement.
Dead silence suffused the room as i stared down to my feet. My heart was bickering in my chest my palms getting sweaty by each passing moment.
"You owe me a Givenchy dress" Eleanor squeaked directing her message to the Queen.
"I said two days this is day two I owe you nothing darling" she replied with a smile.
"William owes us a trip to the Bahamas" both the Queen and Eleanor said staring at him.
"You all owe me an entire month's vacation" Artemis said walking to the Queen and Eleanor.
What the heck was going on here. I had to ask before my mind malfunctioned due to question overflow.
"What are guys talking about" I whispered enough for everyone to hear.
"Sweetheart Artemis is not here to marry William" the Queen said.
I'm not dense ... but I still didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Artemis and William are just childhood friends nothing more" she smiled.
Eleanor rushed to me engulfing me in a bruising hug.
"I am sorry for being mean to you I had to be to get it more convincing"
"I still dont get it" I confessed unable to pin the dots.
"Darling William and you were taking too long to reconcile I am a very impatient woman I treasure time hence I had to act" the Queen said.
"Artemis was here to get you jealous until you admitted that you love William" Eleanor enlightened me.
I stared at all of them. Hurt.
So they thought my emotions were a toy they could all joke with.
I left the room.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"My desire is to leave this palace , this country with my son and never return" I said to the Queen the following afternoon after I had practically ignored everyone for the rest fo the day yesterday excluding Louis and Eleanor.
"What do you mean you want to leave?" She seems amazed.
"I mean I do not wish to be a part of your family"
Before I confuse you let's go back to a few hours ago.
So William and his family played with my mind. I was upset. I got over it and reached a conclusion that there are better things to do out there than sticking here with William.
Back to were we were.
"You ca not just leave I thought you just admitted to loving William!" She protested firmly.
"I understand Your Highness but I cant keep holding on to something that makes me sad" I admitted.
"You love my son fight for that" she demanded.
"I can't" I whispered.
"You can not take Louis away from here"
"Then give me time maybe a week away from here"i begged.
"You need time?" She asked.
"I need time to think about all of the things that are going on in my life" I finally said.
"Where do you wish to go?" She asked
"I have a cousin who lives here in Eng..."
"I am aware. Do you wish to go and stay at her parents' house?" How in the hell did she know about Chloe?.
Don't answer that she,probably knew everything about anyone who lived in or had ever entered England.
"Yes" I nodded.
"Then prepare. I will have a driver take you there tonight" she said in an unrecognisable tone.
"Ok?"
"Have a good time there" she said once I was about to leave the room.
"And one more thing" she said and I turned.
"Not more than a week" she smiled and I shook my head.
This woman was so impossible just like her son.
