Then reality strikes him, his mind
flashed Stefan’s face. He suddenly lifted his face and saw the innocent face
filled with disappointment. He removed her hands around his neck and moved away
from her, avoiding her eyes, looking confused.
“Ed?” She called him sweetly.
Anger rose in him. She can’t call him like
that. Why? Why did she kiss him?
“Why? Why did you do that?” He ran his
hands nervously on his hair.
“Because…. Because I love you, damn it,”
she said angrily while shaking. He looked at her tear filled eyes. She said those
words while he can’t say that.
“No…. No… Elena? You know what you are
talking about? This can’t happen,” he said slowly grasping her shoulder. He
wants her to understand the situation.
“Why can’t? Why can’t this happen? I am in
love with you and I can’t marry him,” she was shaking and crying.
“Your marriage is in a few days, you are
already engaged,” he hissed at her.
She again clutched his suit with her hands
tightly and looked seriously, “then answer me one thing. Why did you kiss me
back?” She demanded.
Edward stood there silently looking in her
eyes. He can’t answer her and can’t express his feelings. He is in a dilemma.
He can’t betray his friend and his family, who looked after him. No, he can’t
do that.
“Well, that was a mistake,” he said angrily.
“What? A mistake?” Elena gasped and moved
away from his shock.
“Yes, a mistake and I shouldn’t have done
that. If you get into the car, I will drop you at your house,” he seriously
said and left her. He waited for her in the car. He knew he was doing the right
thing. After a few minutes, Elena stepped into the car and he accelerated it.
They didn’t talk and remained silent.
Elena looked straight to the road without
glancing at him. When they reached her house, she stepped out the car and
walked away without looking back at him. When she was out of sight, he sighed
and leaned back to his seat. He closed his eyes and remembers the moment they
had. That was the most amazing thing that ever happened to him but the most
idiotic thing that he will regret it for hurting her.
*****
Venice has been the only place, Sam dreamt
of ever going there. Its cool climate and beautiful places create a center of
attention to her. The houses along the banks of the water and the journey along
the river is what she has been waiting for years. She remembered asking her dad
about the visit to Venice but he refused it. Never had she realized that she
will be going there, to her actual home town.
Home town… sounds so awkward.
But she had no other choice but to visit
this place, not until this morning. She was getting ready and packing her bag
when somebody knocked her door and she opened it. Last night after the dinner,
she didn’t talk to Stefan. She decided that she would leave early in the
morning. Rose can manage herself.
Damn her, she shouldn’t have opened. The
queen herself entered the room and gasped when she saw her packing.
“My dear, I never thought that you are
upset here,” she took Sam’s face in her hands and looked sadly.
“Your majesty, it’s nothing...” But she
interrupted her.
“Aha… Sam?” She gave her a smile.
Yeah, she forgets that she has to call her
aunt. How can she call the queen her aunt?
“I am sorry, aunt” she shrugged lightly.
“Yeah, that’s fine. I have a favor to ask,”
suddenly she looked seriously at her.
“Sure, just say it,”
“Visit your grandfather once,” she brushed
Sam’s cheek lightly.
“My what?”
“He lives in this place, outside the Venice
in a big palace. I want you to meet him and inform him,” she held Sam’s
shoulder.
“Inform him what?”
“About your father,” she said it slowly.
What kind of father is he, who doesn’t care
about his son’s death? Sam doesn’t want to go. She hated it that minute. She
managed to refuse but the queen already made arrangement and she left with no
choice. But
