[CHARLOTTE'S TEMPLE]

𝓦𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓷 𝓫𝔂; 𝓣 𝓐𝓼𝓱𝓵𝓮𝔂 𝓜.✍🏼

**
Charlotte heard knocking from a distance and she mumbled inaudible words before her eyes opened,the knocking wasn't loud but audible,she lifted her head up a bit and scanned the room,a heavy weight settled over her waist and she looked down to see a large hand wrapped around it

She slowly looked behind her to see Theodore sleeping behind her

He snored softly and looked peaceful,like he was in the safest place on earth.Few strands fell over his face giving him a messy yet attractive look,her eyes slowly lowered to find him shirtless

She was so deep in sleep last night that she didn't hear him get up to take off his shirt and a thought crossed her mind—what if he was completely naked?

Her cheeks reddened just thinking about it

The knock came again and this time is sounded a bit more loud—aggressive and urgent

Theodore moved slightly and tightened his grip around her waist for a minute before slowly loosening it

She stopped and watched him for some time and slowly she tore his hand from her waist and got up—trying her best not to wake him

As soon as she was up her footsteps quickened towards the door with her hands holding up the dress she wore since from last night,everything was so chaotic that changing was the least of her problem.Her makeup was ruined too with messed up mascara and lipstick smeared and traveling along the side of her mouth up her cheek a bit,her hair looked like a nest of birds

She opened the door slightly and her head popped out and her eyes met those of Queen Amber

"Ohh I..I wanted to check up on you,can I come in?" She smiled at Charlotte in anticipation

"Good morning...I ..I umm" her head turned back to the view of Theodore sleeping peacefully—shirtless,perhaps naked "I..umm.." she turned back to Queen Amber before squeezing her body through the little space she opened to get out and quickly closed the door before Queen Amber could see Theodore

"He's here ,isn't he?" Queen Amber corked up her eyebrows and smirked

Charlotte looked down and played with her fingers

"Your highness..I..he just came to see if I was okay and we kind of lost track of time but we didn't —"

"No it's okay,I understand..I mean you needed him more than ever last night so it's only right he stays with you" Queen Amber reached for Charlotte and gently rubbed her bare arm "I went to his room and didn't see him and he didn't leave either so I figured out he's here but that's not the reason why I'm here,i came to see if you're okay but judging from how you look now.." Queen Amber paused when she saw Charlotte lowering her head with a sad look

She bit her lip and blinked back the tears threatening to fall

"I'm really sorry about what happened " her voice broke and she slowly looked up with teary eyes

"It's not your fault dear you're new to this" Queen Amber held her shoulders "Now don't be too hard on yourself hmm?" She wiped Charlotte's cheeks and pulled her into a hug "You have to be strong,be sharp as a blade and slice through every door hmm? Your siblings are worried about you, don't cry too much and be strong for them,it'll break them to sede you like this they were so worried about you this morning ,i had to force them to go to school"

Charlotte held Queen Amber and stayed in her embrace for a while

"Now..freshen up and come downstairs, don't let this break you" Queen Amber pulled away "on the bright side it's a big day for you..be happy!" She smiled sweetly

Charlotte nodded and wiped her tears before taking a deep breath

"T..Thank you,your highness " she forced a smile

"Be blessed my love" Queen Amber brushed Charlotte's hair and turned slowly to leave

Charlotte watched the Queen leave and a smile crept up before she opened the door to her room and walked back in,she collided with Theodore as soon as she walked in

"Good morning my love" he looked down at her with that cheesy smile of his

"H..Hi" she closed the door without turning back and tried to walk away from him but he blocked her path

"You don't need to run away from me each time" he said seriously

Charlotte looked up at him

Messy hair

Shirtless with his boxer hanging low,almost too low exposing his v-line

He reached for her chin and lifted it up for her to look at him

"Pervert" he teased and she slapped his hand away

"I'm not!" She defended herself with her face burning with shame for being caught while checking him out

"I'm sorry about what you went through last night,if I could I'd erase everything " he took a step closer and snaked his hand around her waist and her hands rested on his bare chest

"No it's okay,it wasn't your fault " she looked up into his eyes filled with remorse and sincerity

"We can post—"

"Shhh.." she placed a finger on his lips,sealing whatever he wanted to say

They held their gaze—eyes boring into each other as if they were staring at each other's souls

Theodore slowly open his mouth and sucked Charlotte's finger who quickly drew her hand back but he was quicker—he grabbed her wrist and slowly brought it closer and kissed her palm several times without tearing his gaze away from her

"I..I should probably go take a b—"

"Just a minute my love" he cut her off and yanked her waist closer making her gasp

He leaned in kissed her hard,taking her by surprised,Charlotte didn't waste time and stood up on her tippy toes with her hands digging into his hair at the back of his head and kissed him back

The kiss was rushed—rough and messy with them sucking and gripping tight to each other

It was chaotic—breathless yet they didn't stop

Theodore grabbed Charlotte's butt cheek and squeezed hard as his mouth tore away from hers and he planted wet kisses on her neck.Her head tilted to the side giving him more access

He didn't just kiss her,he bruised her neck with hickeys while gripping her tight like she might escape

Charlotte moaned softly and pulled him closer,yearning to feel more of him but that was cut short when he paused and pulled away,he took a step back and watched her as she stood there—breathless and almost out of balance

"You're vulnerable, I shouldn't.." he said softly

Charlotte looked at him for a moment and walked away from him

He turned and watched as she slowly took off her dress,her skin coming into view

Her mountains of Jericho stood,perky and pointing right at him—reddened

His mouth watered and he swallowed,his fists balled as he yearned to reach out but he held himself

Charlotte looked at him,the reaction she saw made her bold—rebellious and she dug her fingers under her pant on the sides and slowly lowered it ,her throbbing clean shaved peach coming into view

She threw it right at him and he caught it effortlessly and smirked

She smiled,not sweetly but in a daring manner before turning and strutting into the bathroom

Theodore took a sniff of her pant,the scent drove him insane,it was damp and he knew she was ready for him-yearning to be worshipped

He smirked once more and followed her into the bathroom to find the water already running and her under it all wet

He didn't waste time and pulled her closer and kissed her hard,she reciprocated and moaned as his hands traveled down her body,one hand got in between her inner thighs and found her throbbing peach,he dug two fingers in and pumped in and out driving her insane

A feeling of estacy washed over her and she trembled and held on tight to him while struggling to keep up with his pace

Theodore pulled away but kept his fingers in and excellerated his pace,he watched as she bit her lip and moaned

He lowered his head and sucked on her mountains of Jericho,doing justice to each—just like a little boy

"I'm not letting you go off the hook,not this time my love" He said huskily while lowering his soaked boxer with his other free hand

His erected manhood popped out and stood ,poking at her

He suddenly scooped her up and placed her on top of the cabinet and stood between her legs

Charlotte watched eagerly as he rubbed it and slowly brought it closer to the entrance of her well and slowly plunged in

She bit her lip and threw her head back sniffling a moan as she felt him breaking through and expanding her walls

He plunged in and out slowly allowing her to adjust before thrusting in roughly

"F**K!" She moaned out loud and held on tighter,her fingernails digging into his skin

Theodore grabbed her throat and held on to her thigh with his other hand digging into her skin too while thrusting deeply and hard into her

"That's it my love,yeah sing for me" He said huskily and grunted while watching her eyes roll to the back as she moaned senselessly

"P..Please!" She choked out as she felt a tight knot in her abdomen ,the feeling of euphoria was getting too much that she cried out in pleasure

Theodore paid deaf ears and kept his pace,he grunted from time to time as he felt that he was close to releasing.the cabinet made a tapping sound as it hit the wall again and again as they moved

He pulled her face closer and kissed her while biting her lip.He plunged deeply one last time breaking the knot in Charlotte's abdomen and she released an or**sm right on the cabinet and he too released into her and they held on tight to each other for some time —breathing hard

Theodore slowly pulled out and picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him and hugged him with her head resting on his shoulder

He turned off the shower and walked out to the bedroom and slowly placed her on the bed

Charlotte looked worn out and she let him cover her up before he turned to pick up his clothes

She watched as he got dressed up and he walked back to her

"I need to do something,get some rest" he leaned down and pecked her forehead

Charlotte nodded slowly and watched him as he walked out of the room before closing her eyes and she blushed hard

She spent some time in bed and her phone rang from time to time but she ignored it,she wasn't ready to talk to anyone.A maid came by to knock a few times but she didn't answer and knew the maid wouldn't dare come in without permission, the truth is she wasn't ready to come out of her room and face reality yet,over some time she fell asleep and was woken by thunder.It had started to rain heavily and she slowly sat up

She was throbbing down there and thought a warm bath would ease the ache a bit.Her feet gently touched the floor and she dragged herself to the bathroom, she turned on the water and while waiting for the bathtub to fill up she walked slowly to the mirror and stared at her reflection.Her eyes caught the hickeys on her neck,the previous ones were slowly disappearing but now Theodore decided to plant them all over again.His hand marks were also visible around her neck and other areas like her thigh

Her fingers trailed over them and memories from earlier on came flushing back

"Come on Charlotte we have bigger issues" she slapped her cheeks but the scene from earlier was so etched in her memory that she couldn't get it off her mind,it kept replaying over and over again driving her nuts

She shook her head and got into the bathtub and leaned back letting the warm water soothe her.After a while she turned off the taps when the water was high enough and laid back

She hummed a soft tune while listening to the whooshing sound of wind and rainfall outside.After a while the water started getting cold and she decided to get out

Her hand reached for a towel hanging over the towel rack and she wrapped it around her body and drained out the water in the bathtub

She applied lotion and wore a simple floral maxi dress and applied some makeup to cover the hickeys and bruises at the vanity before stepping out of her room

The atmosphere downstairs was different with maids running around and Princess Tiffany bossing everyone around

She paused when she saw Charlotte and smirked while approaching

"Sleeping beauty is finally awake!" She mocked

Charlotte rolled her eyes and crossed her arms

"Ohh wow,first annoying person I have to see is YOU" she muttered

"So funny haha.." Tiffany frowned and pushed an IPad into her arms "You have to choose the design you want for the engagement tonight,theme and all that garbage and make it fast yeah? 'Cuz the planner will be here in two hours time "

"Wait what time is it?" Charlotte furrowed her brows

"Ahh ..slumbers ..it's two o'clock lazy butt!" Tiffany frowned at her "And anyway the council wants to see you..I sent a maid couple of times to your room but we both know how that went.."

"The council? Why?" She looked at Tiffany —perplexed

"How would I know ? Besides if it's anything bad I'm sure Theodore will be there to rescue you..he's currently in there and relax..they'll call you in and in the mean time.." Tiffany pushed her to the living room "do what i asked and be quick we have a lot to do,dresses will arrive soon for fitting, you need an outfit for tonight and the stylist too will be here so you get the point.."

"Okay okay now could you stop pushing me!" Charlotte yanked Tiffany's hands off her and sat on the couch

Tiffany rolled her eyes and looked down at her

"Piece of advice, royal life isn't for a lazy person or a weak one,Theodore won't always be there to save your skin,someday you'd have to cross the fire,ALONE! So try to keep up yeah?" Tiffany said seriously before walking away

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 35 & 36

[PERKS OF FAME]

Sun rays stretched into the bedroom with birds chirping outside,Charlotte fluttered her eyelids open and sat up,her arms stretched out and a yawn escaped

She looked sideways and tore off the sheet from her body before standing up.It was warmer today but the sky wasn't clear with the sun peeking in and out under the clouds

She walked slowly to the curtains and pulled them open before opening the large windows letting zephyr blowing gently into her bedroom

It's been two days since she last smoked and her head was ramming,she badly wanted to have a quick one but knew she had to quit and decided to endure it a little longer

"I need a strong back coffee" she muttered and patted into the bathroom

Her hands reached for her toothbrush and toothpaste and she proceeded to brush her teeth before taking a bath.When she was done she wore something light—a backless strapped summer green cowl top with a brown A-line skirt and cute wedges

She sat in front of the vanity and brushed her hair gently before tying it stylishly into a messy bun and emerald green earrings with a cute but simple silver bracelet.Finally she took out her perfume she kept away for a while and sprayed it on herself gently—if she's about to become a royal bride then she might as well try to look the part and 'smell' the part

When she was satisfied with how she looked she walked out of her room and headed to Zack's room but saw him approaching already dressed up for school

"Hey! I thought I'd catch you before you leave" she stopped before him

"Yeah I.. I'm actually in a rush Chichi" he rushed his words but tried to move to the other side but she blocked his path

"Are you okay?" She furrowed her brows studying his shifty behavior

"Yeah I just had a long night of studying ,I have a test and thinking about it makes me anxious,now can I please leave?" He finally looked at her

"Hey.." she gently took his hands " I miss us,you know studying together till the sun comes up,I miss catching up with you and gossiping about annoying Zoey and her tantrums.." she smiled

"Ch—"

"Let's go out today later on—"

"Whoah don't you have a 'coming out' function tonight—"

"We'll be back before they even notice,come on! Just you and I and catching up you know" she gave him a pleading look and he sighed before pecking her forehead

"Okay okay I'll see you later!" He held his hands up in surrender before shifting to the other side "bye sis!" He dashed off before she could say anything further more

Charlotte stood there grinning from ear to ear till her splitting headache gave her a knock making her dizzy

She stood still for a minute holding on to the wall for support,after a few minutes she hurriedly walked downstairs to the kitchen

"Good morning!" She greeted the maids going up and down in the kitchen and walked straight to the take out a mug

"Good morning miss" the mauds greeted simultaneously and bowed

"Umm ma'am do you need some coffee I'll be glad to make it for you" one said in a polite voice and Charlotte turned to her

"No no..don't worry I'll handle it" she smiled and turned to finish up making coffee

"Glenda,stop staring at her like that and do your work" Charlotte heared a maid reprimanding another in a hushed voice and turned slightly to see that the maid being reprimanded was the same maid she caught making out with Xander

She shifted her focus back to stirring her sweet black coffee

At that moment Princess Mia walked into the kitchen with a sweet smile and the maids immediately bowed and greeted when they saw her snd she replied with a nod

"Ah Charlotte! I've been looking for you!" She said in an exciting yet annoying manner

Charlotte took her coffee and turned to her

"Me? Why?"

"We'll you know, girls talk! Anyway how about we head to the garden,see the view—the birds and you know..talk!" She grinned "umm Glenda.." please make me the usual, you know creamy and sweet just like how I like it"

"Yes my princess" Glenda immediately rushed to take out a mug

Charlotte wanted to decline but chose to give in

"Okay,lead the way" she forced a smile and followed Mia who hummed while strutting with her heels click clacking on the mable floor

They reached the garden and settled on the bench facing a small pond with ducklings swimming and other tiny colorful birds

A minute after they settled Glenda walked in holding a tray steadily with a cup of coffee

Mia took it and took a sip an a moan escaped her lips

"Mmm..perfection! Thank you Glenda,you're excused" she gestured her to leave

Glenda bowed and scurried off

"So..girls talk?" Charlotte chuckled and turned to her

"I just wanted to get to know you and well..ask you how you feeling about the press conference tonight?" Mia crossed her legs and focused on Charlotte

"We'll i can't lie and say I'm not nervous..but i didn't really expect this from you,you know this 'little' talk" Charlotte looked down at her coffee

"Ahh I had a feeling you thought I didn't like you and it is most definitely not like that I mean I'm busy you're busy too we don't really get the time to catch up you know but we're here now.." she reached out her hand and placed it on Charlotte's

"I get what you mean..I mean I hardly ever get time to study and on the other hand I have upcoming exams and whenever I get time to study the pressure makes it hard to focus it's a lot" she said in a rushed tone and sighed deeply

"I can imagine! And the wedding..If i were you I'd most definitely not rush this wedding thing..I mean Theodore loves you—you love him and the family accepts you and the wedding's just a cherry on top! Give yourself time and focus on getting through with the exams you'll deal with the wedding later!" Mia suggested casually

"That makes sense but I think the sooner the better...I just wanna get this over and done with.." Charlotte mumbled and took a sip of her coffee

"Right..your call!" Mia eyed her with a frown which Charlotte missed

Silence hung over the two women after with them sipping their coffee and glancing at the pond from time to time

"I should..probably get going " Mia spoke up breaking the comforting silence

"Yeah I think I'll stay here for a while.." Charlotte looked at her

"Suit yourself " she stood up "I'll see you" Mia gave her a sweet smile—almost too sweet

She turned and walked away and when she was a bit far she spilled the remaining coffee at a nearby tree and walked back to the kitchen

"You're all excused " she announced as soon as she walked into the kitchen "except Glenda" she added and all the maids left whatever they were doing and rushed out

She placed the empty mug on the counter and walked towards Glenda who had her head hung low

"Are you done?" Mia corked up her eyebrows

"Yes,he requested to have it in the living room,he's reading a newspaper " Glenda responded and stepped aside

A green tea placed on a tray came in Mia's view and she stepped closer,her hands dug into the inner pocket of her stylish blazer and came out holding a tiny glass vial containing a transparent liquid

"Check the coast" Mia instructed and Glenda ran to check if anyone was coming

She pulled open its little decorated cork and poured a tiny drop into the tea before stirring carefully

Glenda came back and stood closer ,just a few feet behind Mia

"Umm ..Princess ..why don't you add more? You know to make it work faster?" Glenda suggested but regretted it instantly when she received a deadly glare from Mia

"If I add more drops it will work faster but the problem is ..the more I add,the more it can be detected by the doctor that the king was poisoned and I don't want anything to mess this up" Mia took the tray and turned to hand it to Glenda "let's just trust the process and remember, patience is a virtue" she smiled "now make sure the king takes it"

Glenda nodded and sighed before walking out to the living room,her heart was thudding and her hands were shaking as she got nearer to the king

"Your tea,your highness " she bowed in front of the king and he slowly tore his gaze from the newspaper he was reading

"Glenda my dear,you take such good care of me!" He beamed and took the cup of tea

"Of course your highness, this tea is very healthy and it is best you finish every last drop" Glenda forced a smile

"Of course,you're excused my dear" he slowly brought it closer to his mouth and slurped on it

Glenda watched him for a moment before turning to leave

The king continued to drink his tea while reading a newspaper article,a minute later he was interrupted by Charlotte who stood before him

"Your highness" she bowed

"Good morning my dear" the king looked up at her with a gentle smile

"I wanted to request permission to go out ,I have a friend I need to meet up with" she said softly

"Of course my dear but you haven't had breakfast yet?" He asked with concern

"Yes,i wanted to grab something on the way since I'm already running late,I'll be sure to be back before lunch"

"Okay,you can go,it's best to enjoy this little freedom you have now to go around the city freely,after tonight things won't be the same" he chuckled

"Thank you,your highness " she bowed and quickly turned and practically ran out the door

The king laughed and continued with sipping his tea

Charlotte walked to the parking lot to find Roberto nowhere to be found

"He went out with Prince Theodore " she heared a voice behind her and turned swiftly

"Umm when will he be back?" She stared at the unfamiliar man in front of her wearing a formal attire

"They didn't say but the prince instructed me to take you wherever you want to go,I'm Steve"

She nodded "nice to meet you Steve,I'm Charlotte "

He bowed in respect and gestured her to get into a black Jeep parked nearby.She got in and told him the location and he drove out to her destination

After a while driving the car came to a halt in front of a fancy restaurant and Charlotte stepped out

"You can go back Steve,I'll take a cab " she said to him

"I don't mind waiting Miss Charlotte " he smiled gently

"If you insist but if I take a while you're free to leave" she notified him and he nodded

Charlotte sighed and walked into the restaurant, it looked fancy with a sweet melody playing in the background, cutlery clicked and people chatting ,the atmosphere was great

She scanned the room and her eyes finally located Vick and she walked towards him

"Finally!" He rolled his eyes as soon as he saw her "I was about to order my fifteenth cup of that delicious lattè"

"Oh come on I'm only a few minutes late!" She laughed and took a seat

"Urgh whatever!" He rolled his eyes "anyway you said you have news for me now out with it!" He leaned closer and fluttered his eyelashes

"Well.. I didn't want you to find out in the news or the streets,the internet " she laughed nervously

"Yes?" He said eagerly

Charlotte didn't know where to start so she chose to hold her hand up in front of him and showed him the rock on her finger

"SHUT UP! OMG!!" Vick squealed and held her hand to take a closer look earning stares from other customers

Charlotte quickly apologized awkwardly on his behalf

"Calm down Vick" she yanked her hand from his grip and hid it under the table

"How!? When!? To who!?" He bombarded her with questions

"And i..umm that's just a tip of the iceberg..I just need to know if I can trust you Vick?" Charlotte gave her a serious look

"Don't tell me he's a mafia!" He gasped

"Hush! And no! Vick get your head out of the clouds!" Charlotte said through gritted teeth

"Olay okay" he laughed "you can trust me babe"

"Just keep this secret with you until tonight the least,I just felt like you deserve to know firsthand and please try not to scream!" She cleared her throat "okay umm..the person I'm engaged to is..Theodore —you know the famous prince Theodore of the Knights royal family, how we met? Umm it's a long story for another day but ..you know..now we engaged and yea!" She rushed her words breathlessly

Vick stared at her for a while with his mouth hanging open before bursting with laughter, he covered his mouth and stifled his laughter

Charlotte looked at him and rolled her eyes

"Now you going to say I'm a cuckoo bird" she leaned back on her chair and crossed her arms "this was a bad idea" she muttered under her breath

"Wait wait.." he breathed hard and laughed once more before clearing his throat "you're actually serious? No April fools ?"

"It is April but no! I'm serious Vick" Charlotte frowned

Vick's smile wiped off when he realized she wasn't bluffing

"Ohh s**t you serious! Omg! But isn't he like back together with Scarlet?" He whispered

"No! There was nothing going on,you know the media"

"I can't believe my bestie is actually going to get married to a Prince,we need to celebrate!" He grinned excitedly

"Yeah yeah but I can't stay for long" Charlotte laughed

She felt bad for not telling him everything about how they met with Theodore but she didn't know how Vick was going to take the news about her being a stripper, especially after how he told her how his parents marriage was ruined by a stripper

They ordered breakfast and continued to chat until it was close to lunch time, Charlotte finally said goodbye and went bsck home with Steve who patiently waited for her till she was done with spending time with Vick

When she arrived the maids were busy up and down setting the table and she sat in the empty living room and took her shoes off and leaned back on the seat

She shut her eyes and took a deep breath

A few minutes later she heard a car pull up and she got up and headed for the door thinking it was Theodore but after a moment Zack and Zoey walked in

Zack had a blue eye but tried to hide it

"Hey! What happened ?" Charlotte rushed to his side

"Nothing" Zack said grumpily and looked away

"He got into a fight, I didn't see it but that's what he said,please talk to him before he gets suspended " Zoey hissed and walked up to her room to get changed

"Zack what happened?" Charlotte held his cheeks gently

"Nothing major,it was just a misunderstanding Chichi and I didn't get expelled or suspended don't worry,can we please not go out today? I'm exhausted " he looked at her with pleading eyes

She slowly nodded and stepped aside

"Please put ice on that" she said and he nodded before going upstairs

Charlotte was about to go take her shoes when someone walked in and she turned to see Theodore

"Where were you?" He spoke up as soon as their eyes met

"Hello to you too" she frowned and crossed her arms "You weren't home either and you asking me where I was?" She chuckled

"I came back—twice and you were nowhere to be found" he slowly approached her

"I was out,with a friend" she answered blankly

"A friend?" He furrowed his brows "what friend?"

"Jealous?" She smirked

"Careful my love" he stood before her

He was about to touch her when someone interrupted behind them and they corked their heads to find Queen Amber standing there—looking amused

"If you are both done romancing,lunch is ready and Charlotte ,we have to meet in the study after lunch to prepare you for the press conference tonight" she said sternly and turned

They both looked at each for a moment

Theodore was about to grab her by the waist but she was too quick and got away

She rushed to the dining hall and he pinched the bridge of his grecian defined nose before following

The royal family had a peaceful lunch with everyone present

Olivia in her own world as usual,Mia snd Tiffany gossiping with the others discussing random things,Zack being questioned about his blue eye and brushing it off like it was nothing,Zoey enjoying every bite of luxury to the fullest and Theodore and Charlotte glancing at each other from time to time with eyes burning with desire and hunger

When it was finally over and everyone scattered ,Charlotte followed Queen Amber accompanied by Queen Mother Amelia to the study to prepare her for the conference,they taught her what to say,questions to avoid and when is the right time to say something

They stayed in there till late in the afternoon and Charlotte was finally let off to go get ready for the press conference

The maids ran up and down fixing the conference hall snd getting nessecary things like bottles of water,snacks and other necessities while the royal family was getting ready

Soon enough the paparazzi arrived and the other members of the council

Charlotte was in her room taking deep breaths when a knock interrupted

She walked to the door and opened the door with shaky hands to find Theodore standing there looking sharp with a formal attire,the royal slit on together with his crown settled on his head

His silver orbs devoured her every angle and she got all giddy just from behind under his gaze

"You look beautiful my love" he said hoarsely and stepped closer—too close

His cologne drove her insane as usual

"Thank you" she blushed and looked down

He tucked a loose strand behind her ear and held her chin up, her hair was still in an elegant messy bun now with stylish pearl pins pinned to it

She was wearing a stunning and elegant wine red silk maxi dress with stiletto heels,she had put on light makeup with a red lipstick beautifully highlighted with a lip liner and it complemented her skin well

"Shall we?" He held out his hand for her to take and she nodded and took her hand in his

They walked hand in hand to the conference room,the journey seemed endless to Charlotte but somehow she didn't want to reach there

Theodore squeezed her hand each time in assurance,when they reached the conference room entrance he paused and turned to her

"I'm with you every step my love " he whispered and pecked both her cheeks and forehead

"I don't think i can do this" she whispered back

Theodore didn't say anything for a moment and caught her off guard with a lingering kiss

"You can" he whispered once more as soon as he pulled away "I'm with you"

She nodded slowly, feeling better and ready to enter through those doors

Theodore held the doorknobs of the two large doors and pushed them open ,as soon as they stepped in all eyes turned to them

Cameras flashing everywhere blinding Charlotte

The paparazzi calling out to them to get their attention

She froze in her spot not knowing what to do or say,everything she was taught in the afternoon including all the assurance from Theodore flew out the window and she stood there—completely blank

Tiffany however loved the scene and smirked in the background

The press conference was LIVE and the media was in a buzz with people having different views and commenting

Theodore reached for her hand and gently pulled her up to the front,he walked proudly and she slowly mustered some confidence and slowly rose her head up high like she was taught

"And this is my future daughter in law everyone,Charlotte Meyers,Prince Theodore's fiancè,their engagement will be tomorrowin the evening" the king announced on the podium and cameras flickered once more as soon as the two stood in front

Questions started flooding in from different angles and Charlotte couldn't keep up

"Now we would ask for some privacy from the media to be able to celebrate this union as a family and to give our beloved Charlotte time,because this ,at the moment is overwhelming —"

"Is she royal?"

"Where is she from?"

"Charlotte did you trap Prince Theodore for his status?"

The paparazzi interrupted king Liam with endless questions

"Settle down,we'll give her a chance to come to the front and answer some questions,come my dear" he gestured her to come closer and she let go of Theodore who hesitated

"It's okay" she whispered and he nodded slowly but followed closely when she walked towards the podium

Charlotte's heart at that moment thudded and her breath quickened,she gripped tight to the podium

"I..I'm Charlotte Meyers a..and—"

"Do you think you can keep up with the royal fame?"

"What do you know about royalty and fame?"

"Do you think you will be a good queen one day?"

Questions irrupted once more interrupting her

"That's enough for today,thank you for coming" Theodore leaned closer and spoke into the mic before holding Charlotte who was about to pass out and he scooped her up and walked out

Cameras didn't miss that moment and clicked none stop and the paparazzi tried to follow but was stopped by security

When they reached Charlotte's room she asked him to put her down and he did

"I'd like to be alone please" her voice cracked

"I can't leave you alone my love "

"Please" she looked up at him with glassy eyes

He nodded and she turned and shut the door

Theodore stood there for a while, he heard footsteps and turned to see Zack and Zoey approaching

" Can we see her please?" Zoey tried to get in but he stopped them

"Give her some space " he said softly

Zack nodded and took away Zoey who clearly didn't want to leave

Theodore leaned against the door and sighed deeply

Meanwhile inside Charlotte was seated on her bed holding her phone with shaky hands snd going through the comments of the LIVE stream,some were positive but most were brutal

She closed her eyes and sobbed,her hands reached for the pins in her hair and she took them off one by one and loosened her hair,she took off her shoes and laid on the bed while sobbing silently

After a while she heard the door creak open and close,footsteps approached and next minute she heard the bed sink behind her

Large hands wrapped around her and a warm body pressed against hers,a scent hit her nostrils and she didn't need to turn to know who it was,she'd recognize that scent from anywhere

"I'm sorry" she heard his husky voice whispering and his hot breath fanning her wet cheek

After then nobody spoke or moved, just her sobbing and him letting her while holding her dearly.
