Chapter 11: Not Your Breakfast

Brione ignored his teasing. But inside her head, she was starting to compare Gavin's and Cedric's characters. Gavin was not this open when it came to teasing her but Cedric was.

'But a person's character is always unpredictable Brione,' her inner self reasoned.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that it never occurred to her that they already reached the Palace. Upon feeling the eyes that were on them once they entered inside, Brione immediately whispered, "You can put me down."

"No!" Cedric declared and made his way directly to the elevator, not in the least bit bothered about the eyes on them. Once they were inside the elevator, Brione started struggling a bit.

"Stay still, we're almost there," Cedric uttered, secretly enjoying their current position. Brione stopped when the elevator doors opened on the 3rd floor, thinking they would enter her room which was located there.

But to her surprise, Cedric walked past her door and stopped by the next door.

"This is not my room," she said.

"Yeah, I know. This is my room," Cedric plainly answered as he went inside.

Brione was in awe seeing the spacious room. It was almost as big as a house inside. Cedric put her down on the couch of his living area and said, "Stay still, I'll go get the first-aid box."

Brione no longer complained because she knew nothing would happen. Besides, the Prince was doing nothing to harm her so there was no need to exaggerate. It would be best to accept his hospitality especially now that she wanted to confirm his real identity. Now is not the time to be enemies with him. She has to get closer to him for her to find out the truth. To know if he was Gavin or she was just mistaken.

He did not take long and quickly bent down to check her knees. He cleaned up her knee and put an ointment on her wound. He also inspected her leg to make sure there was no major injury or a sprain.

"You're lucky that it's only a small wound. Keep this ointment, it will prevent scarring…" he said and handed the ointment to Brione.

"Thank you…" Brione whispered.

"Having breakfast with me would be a nice gesture of your gratitude rather than words," Cedric said with a smile as he stood up and extended his hand to her.

When Brione looked at his hand, the memory of Gavin offering his hand to her just like this flashed before her eyes. She decisively raised her hand to accept Cedric's hand.

She was quiet as Cedric pulled her towards his enormous balcony where a scrumptious breakfast was spread out on the table. There were a few servants on the side who greeted both of them.

"Good morning Your Highness… Miss Brione…"

Brione nodded with a timid smile and pulled her hand from his after realizing he was still holding it. Cedric pulled a chair for her and she reluctantly took her seat.

"Eat heartily," Cedric whispered with a serious face. This was another thing she noticed. He maintained a serious and aloof face most of the time, like a cold Prince, unlike Gavin who always smiled and winked a lot. She has seen the Prince smile but it looked more like a smirk or a sly and cunning grin at most.

"Can you stop staring at me? I'm afraid I might melt if you continue staring. Finish your breakfast first, later you can check me out as much as you want if you accept my condition from last night," he unabashedly said.

'Shameless! The man is so shameless, very unlike her Gavin!' she thought at the back of her head. But she would not back down…

"Alright. I accept your condition," Brione answered with determination before grabbing the knife and fork to start eating.

'That was way too easy…' Cedric thought and stared at Brionne, trying to know what else she had up in her sleeve. He thought she would give him a hard time before agreeing to be with him so he was caught off-guard with the sudden change of attitude.

"Stop staring at me. I'm not your breakfast!" Brione snorted.

With an evil smirk, Cedric brazenly stated, "Who said you're not?"

Brione's jaw dropped hearing Cedric's response. How could he utter such shameless things with a fiery gaze? Brione could not maintain eye contact with him because she felt like those flames in his amber eyes would consume her soon.

'Shameless and perverted!' she wanted to retort but controlled herself since there were servants not far from them.

Cedric seemed to have read her mind as he signaled the servants to leave so they could have privacy.

After everyone left, he looked at her and teased, "What's with your irritated face? I'm being serious. I will make you my breakfast from this day onwards..."

"What?!"

"You have already agreed to my condition which was for you to become my woman. I want my woman to have breakfast with me every day If possible I want my woman to have all three meals with me every day. That's what I wanted to say a while ago.

Sorry about being blunt and saying the words in a sexual way. You see, I said that intentionally for those servants to have something to gossip about. It will help me in burying the annoying rumors circulating about me," Cedric rephrased with a mischievous grin.

Brione's face crumpled and Cedric could not help but admire the beauty of her scrunchy and wrinkled face! Everything she did was too cute in his eyes.

"Being your woman doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with me! Or that I'll do everything you like! I am my own person with independent thoughts. I have the right to make my own choices and decisions." Brione cleared out her stand.

Although she said this, she would not back down from proving that he was Gavin and in order to do that she must get close to him. Being his woman was the best way to get close to the Prince.

She knew this would affect her image and career somehow but she did not care about those things since it was related to Gavin whom she cared most about… her Gavin...


Chapter 12: Twins?

Cedric stayed quiet for a while after hearing Brione's sentiments. Meanwhile, Brione tried to sneak glances at Cedric while eating and compare the similarities of his build and face. All his physical characteristics were the same as Gavin's.

After a few minutes Cedric started speaking, "You're right and I won't deprive you of your own choices and will let you do as you please, so stop frowning and eat. I know my boundaries so you don't have to worry. I promise that I will not do anything that you would not like or anything that will be against your will."

Brione did not respond so he added, "You have to be my woman in the eyes of the public. I need your help to clear out all the rumors about me. It's getting annoying already," but at the back of his head his intention was to make Brione fall for him. He knew he had to take baby steps just like Will suggested so as to not freak her out.

So he was trying his best to rephrase the sentences he wanted to say as much as possible, making it sound friendlier and not too aggressive.

Brione's eyes narrowed. She was still not completely convinced but then recalled Berry talking about the Prince being cursed.

"You mean the curse of kissing? So you want me to pretend to be your woman?" Brione questioned in disbelief.

Cedric met Brione's eyes and replied with a serious face, "Who said I want you to pretend? I actually want you to be my woman."

"Why me of all women?! Ahh is it because you know a secret of mine so you want to use it to blackmail me?"

"Hmm, well knowing that secret of yours is kinda like a blessing in disguise for me. But to answer your question about why you, it's simply because I like you."

Brione's face reddened. The man was too straightforward, unlike Gavin who used to hesitate so much that it would become frustrating.

But then this Prince was just as annoying as he was straightforward.

"You look pretty when you blush," he commented before biting into his bread.

Thankfully Brione had nothing in her mouth yet, otherwise, she would have choked after hearing him. She immediately drank a glass of water to clear her throat. She was aware that her cheeks were burning red in embarrassment so she ignored him and put her head down to start eating.

"Since your shooting will start tomorrow, let's take a tour of the island today. I'm sure you will enjoy all the good places and the scenery here. I will also take you to places that are not open for tourists. After our breakfast, I will pick you up from your room in an hour. Wear something comfortable for walking..." Cedric said.

Brione pursed her lips and mumbled, "Do you plan to leak it? That Brione Yu is your woman?"

"Yeah… To make sure no one will covet over my person," Cedric answered.

'Did he mean I'm his person? Hmph, for all I know you just want to protect your image and wipe out the rumor!' Brione thought with a slight frown on her face. Her blood pressure was rising again so she had to inhale and exhale quietly to relax herself.

Once again, she would let things slide for now because she has her own agenda.

"You said, I can freely inspect your body if I agree to your condition right?" Brione suddenly questioned seriously for a moment before she focussed on eating.

"Yes… You can do it anytime you want," Cedric answered.

Seems like his Bri was still not convinced that he wasn't Gavin. It is a cunning move from her but he would use it to his advantage and get closer to her. He himself could not comprehend why he was willing to do so much just to have her as his woman.

'Smitten.' That was what Will said.

He was smitten by the superstar. He was not fond of watching movies or television dramas at all. He actually preferred reading books over movies but ever since he got Brione's profile and came to know about her career, he started binge-watching all her movies, tv dramas, interviews, special appearances, and her performances on stage.

She was very good at everything and he was glad he didn't see her doing intimate scenes such as kissing other men on screen. Now he understands why it's because she has a fear of kissing…

He stared at her lips which she happened to lick at that exact moment because of the sauce. Those lips, he will make sure that he would be the only one who could kiss those lips.

"Stop staring at me! It's uncomfortable. I'll get indigestion…" Brione complained, making him chuckle.

That was the first time Brione saw him smile. It was so much like Gavin's that she stared at him longingly.

Cedric noticed her change in expression and understood what she was thinking. Immediately his expression changed into a frown. He hated it whenever Brione would look at him as if she was seeing another man in him. He wanted her to look at him for who he was and not because she saw the shadow of another man in him.

"So about that Gavin. Do I look a lot like him? What part of my face resembles him for you to react that way," he asked in the middle of their breakfast.

"You're him. You're Gavin," Brione plainly answered. Cedric could not help but stare at her. She sounded very sure and confident.

Brione raised her chin and met his gaze. She lifted her brows and said, "Search Gavin Wu on the internet and you'll see for yourself."

Cedric grabbed his mobile phone and searched the name Gavin Wu on the internet. Brione drank her milk on the table as she observed the Prince's expression.

He was frowning as his finger tapped and scrolled his mobile phone. He looked dumbfounded and Brione took this opportunity to stare at his face closely. Even his dumbfounded expression was like Gavin, just that Gavin rarely does the frown but everything apart from that looked so similar.

"We really look like twins huh," Brione heard him utter nonchalantly.

'Twins? Could it be that they are twins?' Brione wondered. It did not occur to her that it might be a possibility.

But Gavin was an only child!
