My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 6

“Did you hear?” my mother says to me at dinner.

“Hear what?” I ask her as place the napkin back down

on the tray.

Things have still been edgy between my parents and me

since the little stunt I pulled. I don‘t blame them; my actions

were reckless when I decided to curse in front of a crowd.

But still did not regret it; Bryan had it coming for a long

time. What he did to me is nothing compared to the little

outburst that I had. I don‘t understand why everyone is so

angry and disappointed with me when they are clearly the

ones who did me wrong. My world always worked in the

opposite way that it should. Everyone should be against

Bryan and Aria, yet it had so many people that stood on their

side.

“There is this party being hosted by Bryan tonight. His

parents decided to invite you. I know that we don‘t usually

allow you to attend these things, but I think that this time it

would be good for you. You‘ve been having a rough week,

and it would be good for you to improve your relationship Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

with Bryan and Aria.”

I drop the fork onto my plate and gape at my father. Did

I hear him correctly? My dad has been strict on these parties

all of my life, so severe that I‘ve never even thought of asking

him once to attend one of these things. So then why would

he force me to participate in a party the one time I was happy I couldn‘t go to those things? Just when I think that

things couldn‘t get worst, my parents open their mouths and

prove me wrong.

“You know that I don‘t want anything to do with those

two, father,” I say in the calmest way possible at this time. I

didn‘t want to sound rude towards my father, it would only

cause me to get into more trouble, and I couldn‘t afford that

to happen right now. I knew what it meant to get on the

wrong side of my parents; I didn‘t want to sink myself into a

deeper hole but still, how could I just sit here and listen to

them talking crazy?

“Amiera, please,” my mother pleads with me. “You and

your siblings are going to be the future rulers of our

kingdom. You have to learn from now that it‘s important that

you get along with the neighboring kingdoms and their

leaders. You must put aside your differences and work

together with Bryan and Aria. You can‘t keep holding a

grudge against them; it is not healthy for you nor the

kingdom. I know that it may seem like your father and I are

trying to make life harder for you, but believe me, one day,

you would understand why we have been trying so hard to

make you forgive them.”

I sigh and set the plate away from me.

“Mother, I think that it would be best for me to sit this

together and not getting in the way of their relationship.”

I can tell that my parents are displeased by my sarcastic

tone, but I couldn‘t help myself this time. If everyone wanted

them to be happy, why must I be involved in their lives? Let

them be happy on their own without me anywhere around

them.

“Your mother and I spoke to both Bryan and Aria a few

minutes ago. They would be thrilled if you could attend.

They also think that everyone should put everything behind

them and work things out to benefit the kingdoms.”

Of course, they would say something like that; they

weren‘t the ones whose closest friends had betrayed them. I

can‘t believe the nerve of those two. After everything they

put me through, they still were trying their hardest to make

my life miserable. At this point, I didn‘t even think they were

doing this just to be together, they were doing this to spite

me!

I don‘t want to attend this party, but I also don‘t want

Bryan and Aria to think that I‘m intimidated by them.

I was so done with all of the lies and pretense. I could

feel the anger flowing through my veins, and I knew that it

was only a matter of time before I snapped. Those two still

pretended to everyone on the outside, trying their bests to

seem like the victim. I could already imagine what they

would feed to the public.

‘Oh, we have always been in love with each other and

walk to my room after dinner and stare at the pretures

of Bryan and me on the wall. I didn‘t have the strength to

take them down on the day it happened, but now I feel as

though it‘s time that I should. A part of me would always

care for him; however, all I felt were hatred and resentment,

grab the pictures off the wall and tear them into a

million pieces. As I stare at his face on the floor, I feel the

tears roll down my cheeks. I didn‘t think that this was how

things would end for us.

I understood that people had needs and sometimes

strayed, but that‘s the moment where your love is tested. There were many times where I caught myself thinking about Adam but never once would I have ever acted on those feelings when I was in love with Bryan. I respected him

enough not to break his trust, but he clearly can‘t say the

same in return.

If I was to attend that party tonight, I was not about to

waste the opportunity to show Bryan what he’d just lost. I

often wore clothes that hid my body because I felt insecure

about it.

Not anymore.

Tonight I was going to love myself and prove to both

Bryan and everyone at that party that I was beautiful, no

matter what they thought about me.

my sister has begged me to wear in the past, all gifts from

her.

A pretty short white dress catches my attention. I grab it

and hold it up against my body while I stare into the mirror.

Something about the color brings out both my red hair and

green eyes.

The look in my eyes surprises even me; there is a

determination there that I have not seen before. Tonight wa

about to be a very memorable one; I would make sure of it.

No one would be able to recognize me, and that‘s exactly

enough not to break his trust, but he clearly can‘t say the
