Chapter 3: Group Date
Twelve years had passed since Alira Eleanor Wilson got engaged to the crown prince of Flousia, Caden Hulls Richards.
They were six when they agreed with their parents to have an engagement. Caden’s mother, Margaret Richards, decided to keep them apart until they reached the age of eighteen.
They didn’t deny the idea and just went with the flow. That time, Caden promised that he would never forget about Alira. And that he would marry her someday.
In the first few months, they were allowed to call and text each other. But things got complicated when they were caught talking until midnight.
Alira’s grades went down, and her dad wondered why.
Her twin brother Lucas was the one who told her parents about her talking to Caden until midnight. Her mom got mad and took her phone away.
Then, they were just allowed to send emails and letters to each other. For five years, she continuously received one letter or email every day from Caden. She was happy that he was keeping his promise.
In the sixth to the tenth year of being apart from each other, the emails and letters became fewer. She would sometimes receive one or two in a week.
Her dad said that Caden started his prince’s lessons, and he was just busy. So she waited.
But from fewer letters and emails, it went to zero. She had never received anything from him for the past two years. It made her wonder if he changed his mind and decided not to continue with the marriage.
She sighed. Why couldn’t she forget about him? She was already feeling down for the past few days because she still didn’t receive any news from him.
The class was already over when Lucas came to pick her up.
