Arabella's P.O.V.

Embarrassed from last night I had no motivation to get up from my bed, Why me? I don't want to be kissed or touched by another man. But Prince Douchebag is after me, torturing me when his lips came close to me, everything flashed before my eyes again. 

I even shook my head did he listen? No. It's like men don't understand what no means, he didn't either. 

"Bella," Raya said gently placing her hand on my back rubbing it, "You have to get up,"

Groaning I hide my head under the blanket, "I don't want too,"

Raya pulled the blanket off of me, "Come on Bella, we have to cook a feast again. The King and Queen don't know about what happen if they see are tardiness well get in trouble."

Forcing myself out of bed I push past her, "If I get called into Zayn's room you will be taking the order not me."

"Fine, now go get ready." Sighing I went into the bathroom changing into my uniform for the palace and walked out quickly. 

"Let's go,"

Ducking and hiding we walked into our safe zone the kitchen where the long ass list of food items was left by the King's messenger. "This is going to take forever, how are we suppose to make all this food all on our own?"

"Don't complain, Bella, let's just get to work." She said pulling out the main ingredients for everything. 

Taking a deep breath  I began on the appetizers, today was the day Layla and Miles got engaged and all the catering responsibility was on us. Two souls who just want to survive but after cooking basically all day then having to serve everyone it was exhausting.

"Arabella, Prince Zayn has asked for you." A guard said stepping into the kitchen.

Giving Raya a desperate look she put her knife down, "Bella is busy, I will come instead."

The guard shook his head, "That would mean disrespect in his honor, Arabella if you would come along."

Raya sighed giving me a sad look knowing she couldn't do anything more, putting my knife down I wipe my hands on my apron, "Coming,"

Walking behind the guard I kept my head down as I saw Eddie standing there with a cold look on his face, his expressions sorta changed when he saw me, almost warm. The guard and him nodded at each other as he left me at his mercy, "Morning Bella," Eddie said

"Morning Sir," I whispered keeping my head down

Opening the door for me he sighed, "The Prince is waiting for you,"

Nodding I stepped inside his room keeping my distance, "What can I help you with?"

Zayn hadn't said anything since I stepped in, I think he was just staring at me, slightly looking up at him I caught his eye, clearing my throat I ask again, "What can I help you with?"

Lazily jumping off of his bed he kept a cold look on his face, "Answers,"

Looking at him confused, "Answers?"

"Why did you freak out when I tried to kiss you?"

"I'd rather not talk about it if that is all you were going to ask I need to get back to the kitchen. Raya and I have a lot of food to make for the engagement ceremony so if I may leave-"

"No, no you may not."

I glared at him, "What is your problem?"

He stepped closer to me making me take a step back, "What is your problem?"

"I don't have a problem. Just tell me what you want and then I'll be on my way."

Backing me to the wall he caged me in with his arms leaning in closer like he did last night causing me to flinch hitting my head against the wall, "I want you."

'I want you' his voice rang through my mind again

My breath hitched putting my hands against his chest pushing him but he didn't budge, " Did hear that? I want you, Ellie."

'Please...' He didn't back off beginning to pull on my shirt

"N-No, N-no," I said stuttering trying to push back the memories flooding through my mind, "C-Could you just b-back u-up?" My breathing got faster I began pushing him harder hoping he would get the signal.

Zayn looked down at me confused stepping back from me, giving me room to breathe, "Ellie?"

Slipping out from between him and the wall I walk over to the door, "Just leave me alone Zayn. Find someone else to fill your desires." Opening the door before he could respond I shakily walkout stumbling a bit on the way out ignoring Eddie's confused gaze on me. Running down to the kitchen I abruptly enter falling to the floor shaking.

"Bella!" Raya said running over to me, "What happen?"

I couldn't breathe if felt like I was drowning, pushing her away from me I tried to get up, I need to breathe, I wanted to breath, "Eddie! What did Zayn do to her?"

Eddie? I was shaking trying to fight passing out, "Bella..." He grabbed me making me panic trying to shake him off, "Bella looks at me," Frantically shaking my head I tried to pull away again, "Bella you have to breathe." Wheezing I fell into his arms, "Arabella," Eddie said grabbing my face gently making me look into his eyes, "Fucking breathe," 

I shook my head, "I-I can't" I forced out 

"Just look at me, do it with me come on," Eddie took deep breaths forcing me to take them with him. 

Letting out a couple of shaking breaths I felt the world stop spinning, I collapsed in his arms. "Bella..." Raya whispered, "Are you okay?" She brought a glass of water for me. 

Nodding I greedily drink the water, "I'm okay," I look up at Eddie looking down at me worried, "I swear, I'm okay. Thank you."

Eddie nodded helping me sit up against the cupboards, "You had a panic attack,"

"Yeah..."

Raising an eyebrow at me, "What did Zayn do?"

"He just got to close for comfort, I like my space." Eddie looked up at Raya who immediately looked away from him. She knew why I had a panic attack, "But how did you know I was about to have a panic attack?"

He cleared his throat, "My little sister gets them a lot, so I know all the signs, you came out of the room sweating, shaking and panting like you couldn't breathe so I put two and two together."

Sighing I force myself to stand up, "What's your little sister's name?"

"Anyssa but she put she prefers going by Annie. She'll be around here after she graduates from high school."

"I'll keep an eye out for her. Thank you again." I said stumbling a little bit, "Is she going to be entering the cooking squad."

"Maybe... Or she will go into the clothes designing side of things, making new clothes for the Royals," Eddie said stepping away from me. "You should rest Bella,"

I shook my head, "It's okay, I'm fine. I have to help make the food, the list is huge. You should go before you get in trouble Eddie."

He sighed, "Before I go, I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night. I shouldn't have forced you to chose or even get kissed."

Raya and I looked at each other shocked, "It's okay, just please don't do it again."

Eddie nodded smiling at us, "For sure, I have to go, take care girls."

We watched Eddie disappear behind the doors, grabbing another glass of water I looked over at Raya and got back to work.

Zayn's P.O.V.

Eddie barged into my room looking really pissed off, "What did you do to her?" He said crossing his arms over his chest.

I looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

"Zayn don't act stupid, Bella had a panic attack downstairs so obviously you did something."

My heart started to beat faster, "A panic attack?"

"Yeah, she did. So what did you do?"

I looked away from him, "I didn't do anything, I swear I just cornered her against the wall and then she began stuttering, shaking. I don't know why."

Eddie looked away from me, "Just leave her alone Zayn, she isn't like the other girls you go after."
