Lie To Me By TaTa McRae & Ali Gatie ~????||

A weeping silence passed between them after Jessie spatted the most hurtful words that someone had ever said to Shanz. He didn't break his eye contact from her. The moment she said those words, he could literally see her hatred for him in those eyes that had unconditional love for him once upon a time.

Shanz broke into a smile upon her words. Taking a step closer, he replied slowly,

" I hate you too, Jessie. Aren't we even now?"

Footsteps began to approach them from back. Pulling his eyes up to look at the direction, Shanz saw his butler running on their away with few group of guards. News of beheading a guard at the entrance had spreaded through the castle like wildfire. Shanz's butler had literally thought that a rogue had invaded into their castle to kill the acting king. But stopping at the doorway, he was astounded to see that the woman was none other than Princess Jessie.

His butler followed the direction of her sword that was laying on the floor. As he attempted to enter in thought of grounding her, Shanz's cold voice interrupted his intention,

" Stop right there! "

His butler gave a bewildering look, wondered that if their king had still feelings for this woman!!

Hearing his order, those guards backed away from entering into the castle. Jessie had taken control over her emotions.

Wiping the corner of her eyes stubbornly, she breathed few words slowly onto his face,

" The day, I find out that you are the one who gave the order for killing that innocent baby, I will kill you with my own bare hands, Shanz just like the way, I have killed my feelings for you."

Jessie turned around to leave the castle after her words. Dominance carried her pace as she made her way outside and completely ignored the awestruck look that she received from those guards.

Those freshmen were invited into the castle a few days ago. Except butler, no one had the knowledge about who she was. But surely, they were amused by her courage for speaking with the king so blatantly. Surprisingly, the king didn't outshone his power and rather let her blame however she wanted.

Shanz retracted his eyes from her fierce back only after she dissapared into the darkeness. Shifting his eyes back on Butler who was waiting for his comment, Shanz ordered letting out a soft sigh,

" Send few guards to follow her till Basarisk."

His butler gawked, pursued his lips together hesitantly,

" But Your Highness..She.."

" NOW!! ", came another snarling voice from Shanz who sat down over the chair blank headedly. Shanz continued reffering to the other guards behind the butler,

" Ask them to not appear in her sight. I just want to make sure that she has gone back safely."

His butler's expression wasn't pleasing at all. He seemed like he was going to say something but swallowed back at the end. Turning around, he compelled Shanz's order and asked few guards to follow Jessie around.

After he was done with his task, his butler turned around to walk out. Shanz's sarcastic voice came out from back as he poured two glasses of wine lazily,

" Where are you going, butler?"

His butler withdrawed his step back. Confusion puzzled across his expression as he replied to Shanz politely,

" To my house, Your Highness! Is there anymore order that you would like me to compell?"

Shanz smiled quitely. Holding the glass between his forefingers, Shanz sat parting his legs open lazily. Bringing the glass to twirl under his eyes, he spoke with a smirk,

" No, Butler. I just need your company. Suddenly I have the feeling that you should be reminded of who the king of Davina right now. Come, Sit with me."

Awakened in a room of half-darkness, Isabella was taking longer time to proceed with her thoughts. By the time, she had woken up from her unconscious state, it was very early in the morning.

The sun was only rising up like other day. RICHALWOLF LAND had rather friendly weather in comparison with Basarisk. Sweet smell of flowers were passing through the windows and spreaded an sweet aromatic aura throughout the room.

Isabella arched her head up slightly. Her tired eyes wandered across the room but nothing looked familiar. Fluttering her eyes few times, her frozen thoughts began to work finally.

Her hand reached down to touch her stomach. Finding nothing but a flat belly, Isabella's face turned horrified in fear. She jumped down from the bed without caring about her condition.

Before heading for the doorway, she quickly took a note of her surrounding. Her baby should have been here or he was taken to midwife?

Isabella wondered in her mind. Stumbling on her feet, she spun around ready to go outside but the door of her room brust open first.

Isabella halted in her track abruptly. Silas looked shocked as Isabella was going to sleep longer. That's what, the physicians said to him before leaving.

Silas stood there in awkwardness. He couldn't understand that how he should introduce himself at that moment. He could clearly see the panic, eagerness in her eyes even though she just woke up. Perhaps that's how a new mother felt so eager to meet her newborn.

Isabella who was in state of dillemma didn't bother to know his identity. Running in front of him, she began to ask impatiently,

" Have you seen a..baby .? A little one? Tiny..A new born..He should have been here by my side.. Have you seen him?"

Silas opened and closed his mouth silently. He prepared few words to speak but didn't know how to console this new mother at that moment. Sometimes loosing a battle is less painful than breaking a heart.

As he didn't give her any answer, Isabella became impatient. Pointing at her belly, she continued asking impatiently,

" I had a baby here. Do you understand me? Where is my baby? If you are thinking about hiding him from me.. Don't you dare? Where is he? Where is my baby? "
