Chapter 83 - Why Can't You Be Mine?

The sun was shining brightly on the manicured lawns of the palace. The rays of the sun shimmered into the room presenting a new day to the awfully long night that the residents of the palace had. 

Rumors of a fight between the crown prince and his fiancee circulated around the palace walls to everyone who had the ears to hear it. Everyone was taking about the wonderful dance that the crown prince had with crown princess Amberly. 

The sparks they saw flying around. On one had they spoke about the end of the relationship between Davion and Prince Nedryn, while on the hand hands they marvelled at the perfect pair that Davion and Amberly made. 

The two groups were almost coming at each others throats. The group that was shipping Davion and Nedryn to be together forever didn't like the gossip going around of the prince breaking up with his fiancee. 

While those that supported the bond between the crown prince and the crown princess were rooting for Davion to leave Nedryn as first as possible so that he could run into the sunset with princess Amberly. 

The palace was on fire, from guards to maids to slaves. No one was spared from the gossip and the fight to pick a side. 

As the day was beginning things had already heated up on the servants of the palace. They had found something to entertain themselves with and it was getting juicer and juicer with every debate. 

Sashina strode down the corridors feeling very happy. The night didn't go as planned for her and she missed out on a chance to dance with prince Nedryn but the way things played out was even better. 

She had been fearful when Davion requested to have a word with prince Nedryn alone in the night. The rain made her even more anxious, it was a romantic setting that could have helped the two love birds rekindle their love for each other and finally settle everything that kept them apart. 

But to her surprise the crown prince showed up at the party with Amberly and gave a night that left the whole kingdom in gossip. They all were wondering about the love triangle that surrounded the crown prince. 

Debating on who looked best with Davion and between prince Nedryn and crown princess Amberly who was going to win over the crown prince. 

With prince Amaru out on a trip, she was free to work on a plan to get prince Nedryn to like her. Since he went to bed sad from the tears the crown prince had put in his eyes, Sashina was certain that prince Nedryn won't turn down her shoulder. Which she would offer for him to lean his head. 

It was a wonderful day for her and she was all smiles because of it. There was no denying the things that she felt because of him. Her feeling were growing intense with each day, and it was getting out of control. 

Her love for the man was slowly turning into obsession. She missed the awkward prince that first walked into the palace of Aphidia. The boy who tried to win her heart, she regretted having tried to win over Davion. 

Had she given prince Nedryn the attention that he needed from her, then he wouldn't have fallen prey to the crown prince's charms and fallen for the man. 

The man would still be hers and the two of them would float around in the clouds of love. When she arrived at prince's Nedryn's room. She told the guards not to announce her presence as she was a surprise for Nedryn. 

They nodded seeing as by marriage she was going to become a royal. So they opened the door for her and let her in. Sashina made her way into the room, she glanced at the mirror and checked her appearance. 

She smiled satisfied with how beautiful she looked. Turning on her heels, she walked over to the bed where the prince was sleeping peacefully. 

Her mood shot to the skies seeing prince Nedryn in that state. Her heart fluttered and skipped a beat at the sight of the prince that was that of an angel. 

She couldn't resist the urge to trace her hands on his perfectly flawless skin. And hence she went for it, she took a seat by the bed and gently rubbed her hand on his hair. 

Sashina held her breath, being careful not to wake the prince. She ran her finger on his cheek feeling the softness underneath her fingers, it was a blissful moment. 

Jason moved his head feeling the disturbance. Sashina lifted her hand and remained still for a moment to see if he was coming around. A few minutes passed and the man didn't open his eyes, he just slept on like she wasn't even there. 

"Why are you so handsome. You make yourself so irresistible to me and you won't let me come close to you," she stated feeling her heart race in her chest. 

She lowered her hand to him once more and continued to gently move his hand on the prince's hair as she daydreamed of their future. 

She could picture herself as his wife with two lovely children by their side. A boy who would take after him and a lovely daughter that would take after her. Together they would all make a perfect family. 

"Why can't you be mine?" She questioned. 

"Davy," Jason gasped as he woke up from his sleep. Sashina moved a side to give him room, her lips curled up into a devious smile. She was glad to see that Jason was only having nightmares when it came to the crown prince. 

It meant that there was hope for her to come between them and be the person that he loves. Jason took slow deep breaths to calm his racing heart, he didn't have a dream but had to relive all his memories from high school in his sleep. 

He raised his head and found the snake smiling at him. He sighed. 

Jason was regretful, when he entered the novel as a side character, he wanted nothing more than to become the main character. Forgetting the troubles the main characters had to handle. 

So many love rivals so many suitors and obsessed villains. It was only now that he saw the flaw in his thinking. Despite telling her in clear words that he could never love her or be with her. 

Even after announcing to the world that he was into men, the girl was still there being persistence in her love for him. She wasn't ready to accept defeat and frankly, it was a big turn off for him. 

"What are doing here?" He asked her coldly. She was the bane of his existence, never giving him room to breath. 

When he wanted her and was doing everything that he could to have her, she was only looking at the crown prince. Now that he had moved on and wanted nothing to do with her, she was sticking to him like glue refusing to leave him alone. 

"I came to cheer you up. Do you see, the crown prince didn't even bother to come to you," she said trying to discredit Davion in order to make herself look good before Jason. "He spent the night with Amberly enjoying every moment of it. While you were here hurting," she complained. 

Jason rubbed his head, he didn't blame Davy for the things that he said and for the way he reacted. With all the pieces together in his mind he felt guilty for picturing him in a bad light. 

He had been unfair to the man, and the accident was just an excuse that didn't justify the things that he had done. He couldn't claim that he hurt the man by losing his memory, that was just an addition to what he already did to him. 

Out of fear of being discovered as gay, he chose to break Davy's heart than to allow the world to know his secret. The accident gave him a chance to forget everything that happened. 

When Davy said goodbye to him. He was giving him a chance to take the first step and fix thing but at that time. Jason had no memories of his past and wasn't able to take the chance offered to him. And hence the male left and lived away. 

Four years later and they met once again in a novel. His life was an adventure with a complicated past that brought his life sine excitement, he didn't think was possible. 

"I have to go," he said to Sashina. 

He got up from the bed in his robe and marched towards the door. Sashina raced after him and stopped him from walking out on her. 

"Do you know that Amberly is pregnant?" She asked him. Jason turned her eyes to her in shock.. He had not known that but it didn't matter, he had to apologise to the author before Davy leaves the book.
