Curse of affection

Chapter 2

Anabelle POV

The prince crossed the corridor as if a predator stalking its prey, my breath hitch in my throat as my future prince prowls near me, his eyes flashing with an intensity that lead my nerves in frenzy mode. tall and handsome, with his blue eyes which captures everyone’s attention whenever he prowls and enters a room, All the maiden head battling their eye lashes to catch the prince eye whenever he enters.

My lips curve in a smile when I see my prince not even glancing at the young maiden heads who was fawning for his attention. As the distance between us reduces, I feel my heartbeat increasing. My palms getting sweaty and breath hitching as the prince now stands in front of me his striking blue eyes entirely focussed on mine.

I was about to greet the prince when he does something unexpected.

Moving closer he Wraps a hand around my waist and in a swift move has my body glued to his. there was not a single space between us. My heart beats increase its pace as if it is going to burst any moment now.

Tucking a hair behind my ear, he leans closer his breath fanning my lips. Involuntarily I move closer, my hands on his shoulder.

I wait with anticipation as his lips brush mine his fingers grazing my cheek. his lips were as soft as petals. He moves back only to press his lips….

“Belle” I awake from my beautiful dream where my prince was about to kiss me . because of the villain in my romance was banging my door right now.

“Belle” I hear her again and let out a disappointed groan.

“Yes Roselyn” I ask still perched on my bed.

“We need to go for shopping, mom is asking you to get ready soon.

Another groan is about to escape my throat when Roselyn interrupts me again.

“stop day dreaming and get ready. Mom is already in the parlour waiting” I could hear the smirk in her voice as she finisher the sentence.

No doubt understanding, that I woke up late and knowing that I will be on the bad side on my mother’s temper again.

Nothing new, my step mother has always been very disappointing towards and has shown her dislike towards me in every step of my life since past twelve years.

I am princess Anabelle of Westminster abbey, Monrique, everything is as expected after losing my mom and having a step mother, who turned out to be evil. Roselyn my half-sister has some attributes like her mother where she likes to make my life living hell as I grow up.

There is everything in castle Monrique, one could ever ask for. The shadow lane surrounded by trees bring life of an enchanted fairy tale. Where lives a princess. Unfortunately, there is nothing fairy as there lives a evil step mother to make her life difficult.

The magnificent castle surrounded by heave of toll trees, built on acres of land with the hottest luxury home, masterfully designed meticulously with the taste that matches the castle a strong landscaping by the creek which is at the ends the castle a beautiful look. the castle is built on the wood hills of Monrique which gives it a rustic look, with a touch of elegance and modern living.

“Ma’am, your bath is ready” I come out of my thinking when I hear my lady’s maid says that the bath is ready.

“Huh Okay.” Saying that I walk towards the adjoining room which is a living room walk in closet and has a bathroom of marble floors. Checking the temperature of the water I take a bath which hopefully calm my muscles if not my mind.
