Chapter 4: Sudden Change
She felt a throbbing pain in her head. She slowly opened her eyes and sat down on the bed.
She had a weird dream last night about Caden. Her mind was full of him lately and was mad at him so she hoped of seeing him in the karaoke bar.
She looked around and was relieved to see that she was in her room.
Yesterday, she had fun with her friends and didn’t realize she had already drank more than one shot. The last time she remembered was Ace trying to help go to the bathroom. That’s when Caden came. It felt so real, but she knew that was impossible.
She stood up and went to the bathroom to prepare for school. Her parents were quiet in the dining table while Lucas was constantly glancing at her.
She knew what she did was wrong. Her parents were not really strict toward Lucas and her. They were protective, yes. But that was because a lot had happened in their family and put their lives in danger.
One of those was when they went to Flousia when she was six years old. The current King of Flousia was just crowned back then when the Mafia attacked the palace.
Caden’s mom, Margaret, got stabbed, and the baby in her tummy died. Caden was a little lost when he found out about it. He blamed himself for not being able to protect his mother and sister. That was one of the reasons he accepted to be the crown prince of Flousia.
He told her he needed the power to protect his family and her. She wanted to be there for him when that time came. She wanted to see him and reach his goal, so they promised that they would get married and protect each other when they got older.
But that was a long time ago. She held on to that promise, but he just disappeared and forgot about her.
