Arora came back to her room and immediately locked it, she turned back and sat against the door hugging her knees, eyes full of tears.
Her eyes, those hazel eyes were a miracle if described in the most poetic way. her eyes were the prettiest feature of her whole face big round and hazel eyes.
But for now those pretty eyes were full of tears that were running down her face one by one leaving her cheeks and jaw wet.
she hugged her knees more tightly and cried as much she as she could, it was all Alot more than she could take tonight, she was physically feeling pain in her heart and that pain was definitely unbearable at that moment
'would do they both think of me?' she cried more
'am I nothing to them? do they think of me that worthless?' she sniffed like baby, her nose was swelled cheeks flushed covered with tears.
'they think they would say anything and I will do it as an obligation?' she shut her yes closed it was suffocating her, they fact her husband does not want her and on the other hand she was being suggested to leave him, her mind was stuck on the part where she ever said yes to this marriage without knowing the person she was about to be bound with.
After sometime she managed to get up from her place, her head was aching, the best she could do at the moment was to sleep and that is exactly what she did.
laying down she looked at her hand and smiled bitterly, the mark might disappear by morning but the pain it left would not.
She woke up early in the morning, Her eyes and nose were swelled.
After she freshen up and changed, she sat by her vanity and started brushing her hair when she heard a polite door knock.
It was one of the royal servant, who informed her about ryle's call for her.
She said okay and the servant left.
After a few minutes she was on her way to ryle's room.
when she entered he was sitting on the couch.
"Morning" she said and bowed
he smiled and gestured her to sit down
"morning my dear daughter" he said politely and lovingly.
she smiled a bit.
two servants knocked on the door and Ryle let them in
they had big trays of breakfast on them.
when they left she said
"you wanted to talk about something?" it was a hint that she would only wanna hear him and leave . Another hint that she won't do breakfast right now.
That might sound rude but for Ryle it was totally normal, that's how it has been since she got married. She is not use to of talking to them Alot, it like all of this has impacted her Alot she stopped talking the way she use to do.
"Yes" he said slowly and proceeded to pick up something from the decor piece on the table beside the sofa he was sitting on.
"I need you to stay calm and listen to me okay?" he said while she gulped as if deep down she could feel it was not something she would wanna hear early in the morning.
Still she nodded slowly, he did a tight lip expression and said
"I have made a huge mistake by asking you hand in marriage for an asshole like him" he looked down and continued
"I want to apologize to you my dear, I really do" he said and sighed
"I told him last night that I am soon going to announce your separation" her breath Hitched
but Ryle continued
"He left his ring here last night, he won't come back" a tear slipped down her cheek
Ryle could feel his heart wrench.
It was not Nick she was crying for , but it was the fact that she did not bear all that pain just to end up being sperated.
"I-I can not go back like this" she said while another tear slipped down her eye.
She was one of her kind and knowing that everybody knew she married in a royal family now going back like that was making her feel insecure of herself, she did not want people to talk about her personal life. she did not want gossips to spread around.
"You don't have to Arora" said Ryle dearly "you're just like my daughter, you will stay here it's your home " he said firmly
"I am going to make sure he does not come of bother you in any way" he said reassuring her.

roselle was in guest room as her room was under repairing by the fire that got up last night. Ellen was in her home making sure things were fine while she was in the guest room, sitting on the couch. The Twins knocked on the door, Ellen opened the door and was not very happy but he let the twins in as they wanted to see Rose. Allen allowed them because he also wanted Rose to get back to normal after what happened by the last night's event.
the door open and the twins entered in the guest room.
rose looked at them and stood up, jodeth came close and hugged her tight.
The best part of female friendships, this hug was the most needed hug for Roselle.
They say down Joseph sat on the floor by the bed while both of them sat infornt of him sideways.
Roselle told them both about everything that happened after she left the apothecary till the fire caught up skipping the part where 'he' was intimidating her his presence.
She did mention him but only told them the imp things including how he could hear her thoughts or how she felt threatened by his presence.
"so basically this royal guy is mannerless" said Joseph being annoyed.
low-key he did not like the fact how that man was being clingy to roselle for no reason while jodeth was losing it
"was he handsome?" she asked all excited to which rose made a weird face.
'He was' she thought.
'oh shut up rose' the told herself back and shrugged off the thought
"Let's go outside to get some fresh air?" suggested Joseph, to which Jo shook her head in reply
"uncle Ellen would kill you this time" she said
"He won't, he knows she's terrified he might just agree the way he let us in" he said persuasively
"I won't ask atleast" she said doing a hands up gesture while rose was just looking at them one by one
her mind was a bit at peace knowing they were just by her side and if something happens after three days on her birthday, they'd still be by her side.
"Okay I will ask" Joseph said and stood up to go to Ellen asking for permission.
After few minutes he came back all enthusiastic "Let's go guyss we are allowed to go" said Joseph
Ellen agreed as he for real wanted her to get some fresh air, it was now A but getting clearer to him that her being stressed nervous mad, or extremely sad makes that happened whatever happened last night.

"What are you doing here" he asked while his eyes still scanning her face
she gulped but still told him about Adward nervously
she was trying to suppress her thoughts as he was trying to hear them she knew
"rose" he said she got more nervous as everytime he took her name she use to feel something in her stomach.
"What were you running from" he repeated what he wanted to know but he was waiting for her answer he was getting in her mind
'rose' she remembered her voice her breath Hitched she was trying to suppress her thoughts
"NOTHING" she said out loud and disappeared,
He did not stop her but he definitely now knew it was some voice she was running from.
