Chapter 8

(Alex and Elena)

Alexandra's POV

"WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING HERE?!" Brandon roared in the silent ballroom. Everyone was silent afraid of the prince of the kingdom. I was afraid. Elena was here standing looking as Elegant as ever.

"Brandon calm down." Lea was next to Brandon trying to calm him down.

"Stop this nonsense. I LOVE YOU!" Elena screamed at the top of her lounges.

"Elena leave." Uncle Ace's voice was cold.

"Please Brandon don't do this to us." Is she deaf or what?

"Guards take her away." Brandon ordered. They tried taking her away but she was fighting them. They could've thrown her away in an instant but they wouldn't harm a woman. Stupid laws. I can't wait to get rid of her. The look in Brandon's eyes when he looked at me was vulnerable. I knew he still loved her. I don't know why but it broke my heart a bit.

"I've got this." I stood up and walked towards Elena. I was standing face to face with Elena and she was looking at me with so much hate.

"Listen Elena." I would've said bitch but I must maintain my lady composure. "I've had enough. It's the second time you come between me and my fiancé . The first time in town I said nothing. But today is a special day to me- to us." I looked at a surprised Brandon. "Today I'm announcing my engagement. I'm teling you kindly to leave. Guards take her." Surprisingly she didn't fight she just walked due to the shock. I walked back to Brandon.

"I'm sure my son took the very right decision." Uncle Ace said nodding towards me.

"Well let's continue this beautiful night. Music!" The music resumed playing and couples danced on the dance floor.

"I didn't expect this from you." Brandon said.

"Well you'll be more surprised when you'll know me well." I smirked. "Come on let's dance."

"No I don't dance."

"Fine. Sia! Bella come dance with me." We walked to the dance floor and danced the whole night. I knew that tomorrow the cold hearted Brandon will be back so I enjoyed my night to the max.

"Good morning sunshine!!" Mom and Lea entered my room happily .

"What?" I said sleepy.

"You re going to town with Brandon!" Lea chanted. Why is she so happy?!

"No."

"It's your duty Alex."

"Fine!"

"Lea I heard that Lord Rosely's son is back in the kingdom."

"No way! How did Ace approve of such thing."

"Relax Lea he lived alone with his mother. Robert has nothing to do with his father."

"Who's Lord Rosely?"

"You mean who was. He's dead."

"Oh!"

"It's a long story we'll tell you later. Now come on get up. Stella will come help you with your gown."

"Okay." They left the room talking about the dead Lord that apparently Lea hates so much. I wonder why. I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Hello lady Alexandra."

"Hey you must be Stella." A young gorgeous girl entered the room.

"Yes I am. I'm here to help you."

For the next 2 hours Stella and I bonded. She was a nice girl. I loved her. Apparently she was 18 years old. She was the daughter of a maid called Anna. She told me that her mother too had helped Lea when she first came in the castle.

"Okay you're ready."

"Yes. There's a knock on the door please see who is it." I was in the walk in closet where all my gowns were placed .

"Miss Alex. It's Louis he tells you that his highness is waiting for you."

"Okay."

"Finally." Brandon groaned.

"Shut up." I whispered. Brandon held me by the elbow and whispered in my ear.

"Don't dare disrespect me Alexa. I might be your fiancé but you cannot tell me to shut up. Understood?" I nodded and snatched my elbow from his hold. "Louis let's get moving."

There was an uncomfortable silence the whole way to the town. He didn't look at me once. I was mad at him. He have to stop being rude so much. We arrived at a big building. We stepped out the carriage and headed to the entrance.

"Hello your highness." The workers inside bowed to us.

"Hello I would like to see the children." I was confused. What children?

"Yes this way." We walked to the back where there was plenty of children playing and laughing. Brandon walked to them and they all ran to him.

"Where are we Louis?"

"20 years ago King Ace built this orphanage for the homeless children. At that time Lord Rosely suggested to kill those children and get rid of them, but the king refused. Ever since Brandon was born , the king , queen and Prince Brandon would come visit those children. Many of them are now married and have children of their own."

"That's so nice of the king."

"Yeah. We are really hoping that the prince would be a king just like his father."

"I'm sure he will." I said smiling. A little girl came running towards me.

"Awe you pwince bwandon's fiancé?" I bent to her level and picked her up.

"Yes I am. What's your name?"

"Amy."

"What a nice name Amy. How old are you?"

"I'm thwee." She said showing me 4 fingers. I laughed . She's so cute. I put her down and she ran back to her friends.

"I'm going to buy some things for my sisters."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No I'm fine."

I went out to go to the shop. I wanted to buy cute little dresses for Sia and Bella .

"Hey."

"Hello." The man inside the shop greeted me. "What can I help you with?"

"I want to see dresses for 7 years old girls."

"Yes this way."

I bought 2 dresses for each with scarves . Well I  wish Louis came with me. There was plenty of bags with me. I walked for about 10 minutes but forgot the way back to the orphanage. Well shit! I walked straight until I bumped into someone.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry."

"It's okay miss. Let me help you."

"Oh thank you so much." I smiled at the kind man in front of me.

"We've been walking for 15 minutes and still I don't know your name miss." He smiled widely at me.

"I'm Alexandra Marlowe. You can call me Alex."

"Nice to meet Alex. "

"What's yours?"

"I'm Robert Rosely." He smiled flirtatiously. Rosely?
