The Crown Prince's Love

My eyes turned towards him quickly and widened in shock that he had said something like that. I had expected him to talk, but I never expected he would speak to my father like that. "Desmond, are you?" I tried to ask him why he acted like that, but he suddenly stood up from his wheelchair, and I got another surprise. Was he also pretending too? I was dumbfounded, and when he started laughing, I lost it. "what is happening to you, Desmond?"

"Desmond?" he pointed to himself. "I believe that you are mistaken," he said and burst into laughter. "you have no idea what is happening right now, and I have to tell you that I am not Desmond," he said and pointed to himself again. "guess who I am again?"

My father frowned at him and then turned around. "Hecate!" he muttered. "what do you want, and why are you in that child's body?"

Hecate? What was she doing with Desmond's body, and how did she get into his body? I was curious as she walked towards my father. "leave his body right now!" I screamed at her, but she burst into laughter.

"poor boy so in love, but his father detests his way of living," Hecate tutted. "Desmond made a deal with me to protect your life, and by doing so, he offered your parents since they are the problem to you both, and without them, Desmond wouldn't have to live as a disabled boy. It was all because of them that your fate is like this," she said.

It was a lie. I refused to believe Hecate's words because I had always seen her as a liar who would do everything to get what she wanted. "I refuse to believe you because Desmond would never do that to me, and he..."

Hecate laughed. "you think Desmond would have let his boyfriend die instead?" she asked and heaved a deep sigh. "He cares so much about you than for him to do that to you and..."

"shut up, Hecate! What do you want?" my mother shouted at her and grabbed my hand, pulling me behind her. "your beef is with us, and there was no need for you to involve the children. They are not a part of this."

Hecate nodded in response and pointed to my father and mother. "which is why I am going to do this," she cleared her throat and then pointed towards the entrance of the throne room where a dark purple portal appeared. "now, it is time to settle our scores, and this is the only way to do that," she said and laughed.

Right in front of me, I watched as my parents were getting sucked into the portal, and I could do nothing. I could not move and watched the scene unfold. "find us, Randy. I believe you can do so," my mother yelled before the portal closed.

Hecate laughed again and then looked towards me. "Don't hate your boyfriend, he did it to save your life," she said and snapped her fingers. "now, everything will go back into place," she said, and just as she had finished saying that, Desmond fell to the ground. I rushed towards him and held him in my arms until he fluttered his eyes open again.

"Desmond!" I called out his name, hoping that he was the one, and when he stared at me without saying anything, I knew he was the one. "what have you done Desmond?" I asked him.

"

.." he tried to explain but instead burst into tears. "Hecate was here, right?" he asked, and I nodded in response. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have done this, but ....."

"you could have told me!" I muttered.

Hecate's promises always had a price, and my parents were the price.

~Desmond~

I should have told him and not kept it to myself. If I had done that, I wouldn't have to deal with how Hecate played me. Now that it had happened, I had expected to be happy about it, but instead, it had been proven to be something else. Randy had not said a word to me for a whole day.

"Leave!" he had shouted at me. "you have gotten what you wanted, and now, what more do you want?" he had asked me, yelling angrily at me, but I had held it in and walked out because I deserved it but I couldn't stop thinking about him and what I had done wrong.

I had used the king and Queen as the price of getting what I wanted. I had sold them to the devil, and in exchange, I got what I had always wanted and now, Randy was never going to forgive me.

Because it was evident that Randy hated me. He should have picked up my calls or even tried to return my messages if he was not still angry. I had done something terrible that affected his parents, and he would never forgive me for it.

"Desmond," My mother's voice sounded at the entrance of my room as she walked in. "Are you still thinking about what happened?" she asked because she had heard about what happened, and I had told her about how it had occurred and how I was not careful.

"it is not your fault. If you are missing the crown prince or have something to say to him, then I suggest that you go after him and explain yourself why you did it. You can't keep sulking while expecting a miracle to happen! You are..."

I groaned, stood up from my bed, and nodded in agreement to what my mother said.

"you are right, mother. I don't think this is my time to sulk around. Instead, I should go to Randy now and console him. He is facing a lot of backlash from being gay and losing his parents."noveldrama
