Kellen

Marrying Rayne and making her my wife has been my plan for 3 years now.

It was all in the name of revenge for what she did to us, the suffering my sister and I went through because of her brother and her.

I knew she would be gullable enough to accept my proposal after she found out what my title in my country was.

I knew greed was the only thing on her mind.

For years I played her like the fool she was.

I wined and dined her, whispered sweet nothings to her and trapped her hook, line and sinker, until I knew she was madly in love with me and would not separate from me.

Her parents kept telling her, what a big mistake she was making but she didn't listen, she chose me over them.

She walked out their house and eloped with me, the man who played her all along.

Oh how I hated spending every day with her, the anger that coursed through my veins, day in and day out whenever I looked at her.

All I wanted was to hurt her in the way I was hurting, give her the pain, I was feeling, but for my sister's sake I did it.

Biting my tongue, I pretended to be infatuated with her throughout my time with her.

I am glad I managed to keep my promise to my sister.

Now I just have to make every single day, a living hell for Rayne to complete my revenge.

Getting married has always been the last thing on my mind and I had absolutely no plan on doing so until 2 years ago.

First my plan of revenge was to make Rayne fall in love with me, without knowing my true identity but after my grandma kept showing up with her bodyguards all the time, she managed to find out my true identity.

Watching the grasp that left her mouth, after finding out, I would be king one day, I knew what my next move should be.

I needed her to marry me, to make my grandma stop hounding me to find someone to marry and to make sure she knew who, she and her brother have messed with.

Looking around my room, I am reminded of why my sister Everly isn't with me right now.
Why she is at my castle in Castel del Monte on a wheelchair.

Feeling exhausted with my thoughts, I decided to leave my room and go out.

Walking down the steps of my house, I could hear Rayne crying and banging on the door.

Standing there and staring at her door, I could just imagine the state she was in, but I just didn't care.

Going to the kitchen to find something to eat for myself, I bumped into my housekeeper Abigail.

Taking my hand, she looked up at me and asked,
"Why did you marry her, your Highness, if you were going to treat her this way?"

"Abi you of all people should know the state Everly is in because of her brother!", I said

"But Kellen maybe you should have spoken to Rayne about it or found another way to sort out the matter." Abi replied

"There is no other way!", I screamed

Bowing her head, Abigail walked away with a sad look.

I quickly grabbed some grapes from the refrigerator and ran up the stairs to go to my room.

Listening for Rayne's sounds to satisfy my conscience, I listened carefully, but all I heard was dead silence.

Wondering to myself if Rayne was doing something, I tiptoed to her door to listen more closely.

Still there was no sound.

Deciding to see for myself that she had not run away, I unlocked the door and went in.

On the floor near the bed Rayne was passed out. Her face was a mess and her dress was shrivelled up her legs.

Although she looked a mess, I couldn't help thinking about how beautiful she really was.

From all the woman I have met, she was still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

The only woman, my heart has ever fluttered with need and want for.....

Clearing my outrageous thoughts, I shook my head and went to her.

Gently I picked her up and placed her on the bed, reminding myself that I am only doing it for humanity sake, that's all.

I have no feelings whatsoever for her. The feelings and everything I felt for her had gone the day I saw a guy jumping out her bedroom window, that is when my feelings for her disappeared and all I felt was hate for her.

😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

Growing up my grandma allowed Everly and I to live in Los Angeles until we completed our studies.

My grandma purchased a house on Pine Avenue, across Rayne's parents house and hired a caretaker to take care of us.

The whole point of it all was for my sister and I to have a normal upbringing.

Everybody thought our caretaker was our mom, but she wasn't.

My parents passed away in a car accident when Everly and I were around 1 and 2 years old, me being the 2 year old. From then our grandma has been our legal guardian until I turn 25 in 2 years, then I would take over all royal duties and be made king.

By the end of this year, I would have to be back in my country undergoing intense training to get me ready for when I take over.

Having a wife was just part of my duty, but the rest would come when I go back.

Covering Rayne with the blanket, I turned and left the room, pulling the door shut behind me.

A part of me felt guilty for doing this to Rayne but a larger part of me thought about how much she really deserved it.

Brushing my hair away from my eyes, I took the grapes I had left on the table outside Rayne's room and went into my room.

In my room, I thought about how I met Rayne three and a half years ago.

Three and a half years ago....

Standing in between the trees, hiding from the men trying to catch me on the beach.

I decided to take a look to see if they were anywhere near to me or if I managed to get them to run the other way.

Pushing the branch a little, I looked around and noticed they were not around, what I did notice, was someone else was there, a girl in a pink bikini was putting her towel on a rock before diving into the ocean water.

Coming out from behind the trees, I went to the edge of the rock and looked down at her.

She was swimming around not paying any attention to anyone watching her.

After a while, I guess she must have gotten tired so she climbed up the rock to come back to her towel.

Not wanting to get caught spying on her, I ran back to the tree I was first at.

When she came up and grabbed her towel, I saw her wipe herself then put on her denim shorts and vest before disappearing.

Feeling disheartened, because I did not even get to see her face, I went home.

The next day I went back to the beach hoping to see her and after what felt like hours of waiting, I saw her coming back.

Taking off her shorts and vest, I called out to her

"Pardon me mam"

Taken by surprise, she looked at me.

I could see she did get a fright but quickly recovered from it.

Next she did the most surprising thing.

She smiled, at me.

And.... when she smiled, I felt absolutely wowed, because her smile, was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, but that was not all .....

When I finally got to see her, I felt my breath stop because it felt like I had an angel standing in front of me.

This girl standing in front of me looked like she came straight out a magazine.

She had a pair of light blue eyes that could stare into a soul, long black hair that reached her mid back, legs that would be in any guys fantasy, long, smooth and could wrap easily around his waist.

She was tall but not taller than me for sure.

Lost in my exploration of her, I did not hear her speaking to me, finally when I did hear her, I had to pinch myself to act normal.

Her voice was the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

"Sorry am I in your way?", she asked.

Shaking my head, I told her no she was not.

I was just about to go for a swim and was going to ask her if she was going to do the same.

She told me she was and proceeded to take off her clothes, standing only in her light blue bikini.

Taking my hand she pulled me with her as we jumped off the rock into the ocean.

Just before we landed she let go of my hand and I went straight in.

Pushing myself up to reach the surface, I looked for her but heard her voice a bit away from me. Swimming up to her, we both started laughing at each other.

As soon as we were done laughing, she stuck out her hand above the water and introduced herself...
