Love in Royalty

章節 1: Prolong

Ring..ring..." please leave a voice message".

Klaus, please call me back when you get this message...I..I..really need you.

Beep beep beep... I watch helplessly as her heart rate slowed down then nothing, just a straight line showing it's the end of her journey.

"I'm sorry Hayley, she's no more." Doctor Simon manages to blabber, at-least that's all I could hear.

I nod in my state of shock.

They say God always takes away the best people but what about the ones left with the loss and sorrow of their departure.

I'd just wished at least on her deathbed my father would have come to visit, even just to say farewell.

"Are you the daughter?" Asked the short nurse, shaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yes.." I answered her weakly.

"Miss Hayley right? please fill this form" she left urgently after handing the form to me as if I was some sort of a criminal.

Ting!

"Come to room 801 Palacetine hotel asap, your boyfriend's in trouble" I couldn't care less about it being an unknown number, all I could read was trouble and boyfriend. My half functioning brain only showed me the worst case scenario. I was mentally and physically worn out from losing my mum, losing someone important again would completely break me apart.

Bang! I kicked the door open, praying he was safe, praying it was just a prank.

I poked my head in slowly then I stopped...I was left utterly shocked...It was the scene I would never forget, the scene that tore me down completely and broke my heart into a million pieces.

Klaus and Ashley were together, naked in the same bed. His tongue halfway down her throat.

What the F*** are you guys doing?! I screamed jolting them apart.

"What are you doing here!" Klaus hissed.

"Get Lost! You filthy Woman!"

His heartless words rang in my ears as his dark eyes remained piercing right through me.

Fat hot tears tumbled down each side of my cheeks as realisation hit me. Ashley, the step sister who I forgave time and time again believing we'd one day become close. She slowly, but surely took everything away from me. Starting with my father, my home, my friends and now my Klaus. My first love.

"Why would you do this to me, Klaus?!"

"I should be the one asking."

"I don't understand. I have only ever loved you...."

"Well, I don't love you. You hear me. Now get lost and don't ever show me your face again!"

He shouted at me, annoyance clearly written over his face for disturbing their moment of pleasure.

Ashley smirked at me, savouring her victory.

"Please be a little nicer, Klaus. After - all, she is still my sister."

Ashley quickly changed into her meek persona, pretending to sympathise with me. To which Klaus gently caressed her head, looking at her lovingly. The gaze which used to belong only to me.

He shifted his attention towards me, his gaze swiftly changing to that of a devil.

"You don't deserve to be her sister. Both you and your mother can only ever be someone's mistress."

All his fake love and promises flashed before me. His words ripped my heart out, shattering into countless pieces. And, that too at the crucial moment when I had absolutely no one to help me pick it back up. He was supposed to be consoling me, telling me everything will be alright, he will be there for me but what I get instead is his hatred.

"Whatever you say, Klaus..."

I weakly say before leaving out the door. I didn't look back. How could I? I wasn't stupid enough to see the man I love with another women for any longer…

My tears taught me a lesson that day, which I should've learnt many years ago.

Don't ever trust a Man...
