I clenched my fists tighter, A bride? I don''t even like girls and will never feel attracted to them, so I wondered why they all forced me to do what I didn''t want. I didn''t even want to be there. I have a choice, too, but I prefer to listen to someone else. Even my father felt that I shouldn''t be what I wanted to be, and they all dictated what I should do or not do.


    "Good," my father quickly agreed, and the so called Elder Han walked in front of my father, standing beside the first elder. He bowed his head and then looked at me.


    "My daughter has been practicing all of her life on how to learn the proper ways of the royal family, and now that she is being chosen as the crown princess, she would be excited about it, and she will be happy that she had gotten this life."


    I chuckled. "you already knew your daughter would be the crown princess?" I asked him andughed. "how lovely for you to know that," I said.


    No one said anything after my words and the throne room grew so silent that it would be heard even if a pin dropped to the ground. They all threw daggers at me, and I did the same with them. I didn''t care what they thought about me; I just wanted to leave the room then.


    "Your Highness," Elder Han finally spoke up after a few seconds.


    "When should my daughter move to the royal home?" he asked.


    My eyes widened In shock at his sudden announcement, and then I looked towards my father, who shifted on his chair and nced at me. "what does he mean by that, father?"


    "Not now, Randy," my father replied. "you don''t have to worry about that. I will exin it to youter."


    "Exin it to me now!" I yelled at him. "If I should know something, I need to know it right now instead of keeping it from me. I need to know about it now!" I screamed so loud that my voice resounded in the room.


    "what is this about hering, and yet, I don''t know about it?!"


    "Crown Prince, please listen to me and...." my father tried to exin, but I stopped him.


    "I am not listening to whatever you have to say, Father. I need to know because my future depends on this. You are forcing me to marry someone I don''t know, and you wouldn''t even tell me what the hell it means when you said that she would be moving in with us!" I shouted and then pointed towards Elder Han." I will not ept this marriage unless I do it my way!" I dered and then turned to leave, but my father''s loud voice stopped me.


    "Everyone leave the throne except the crown prince! The meeting has been adjoined." he dered.


    Everyone in the throne room started murmuring amongst themselves. They all suddenly had something to say until my father mmed his hands against the handle of his throne. "leave!" he ordered.


    "yes, Your Highness," They all resounded and bowed their heads as they walked out of the hall.


    As soon as everyone was out, Uncle Harold walked towards me and ced his hand on my chest, squeezing it gently. "just calm down son," he muttered to me before stepping out of the hall.


    "stand in front of me where I can see you!". my father ordered.


    I heaved a deep sigh, rubbed my hands together, and walked before my father. I bowed my head, and when I raised it, he was in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. "What the hell are you thinking? How dare you disgraced me in front of everyone!" he shouted.


    I scoffed and pped his hands from my shoulders. "Disgrace you? I''ll continue to do that, Father, because you did this me! You are the one who started this first. You know that I don''t like women! You know I don''t, and yet, you are forcing me for your happiness to get what you want!"


    "Randy! Pleasee to your senses and try to see that I am only trying to help you. I am your father, and what I am doing now is for your sake. I wouldn''t do anything to harm you. I love you so much," he said, touching my cheeks. "I care for you, my son, and I......"


    "Enough!" I yelled at him and pped his hands away from my cheeks. "you ruined me. If only my father had epted me, it wouldn''t stop the world from epting me. You caused everything, and it is your fault!"


    Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you''re not reading this book on nel5s, you might be missing out on theplete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter it''s all free!


    "Randy..."


    "I am not listening to anything that you have to say. If you can''t help me, then leave me the hell alone! Go ahead with your ns, but I will never love a woman. I love men, and there is nothing you can change about that. Nothing!" I told him to make the decision clear before leaving the throne room.


    I rushed to my room and picked up my phone on the table, dialing Desmond''s phone.


    At first, he didn''t pick up, and after redialing, he picked up the call but didn''t say anything.


    "Hello, Desmond. Are you going to continue to ignore me?" I yelled into the phone. "I love you so much, yet you keep ignoring me!"


    Still, I was waiting for a response from him.


    "Are you going to give up on our love? Desmond! At least talk to me! I love you, and I can''t do without you. Why are you doing this to me? Just one word from you! I need to hear you say something to me, and I......" I screamed and panted for breath. "I am getting married soon, yet you keep ignoring me. I.... They are forcing me to do things I don''t want. Please talk to me!" I begged. "Desmond.... I...."


    "Don''t call me again, Prince Randy!" Those were thest words he said to me as he ended the call.


    I screamed, threw the phone to the wall, then walked to my bed and tossed the bed covers and pillows. I had no one by my side. I was all alone again, and it felt like the world was against me, with no one to help me. It hurt so bad, and I couldn''t deal with


    it.
