"Love is blind, marriage is an eye opener." ~ Pauline Thomason.

Time has a funny way of slowing down when we are in pain and flies faster when we are happy and having the time of our lives. Lucia was driven by anger and hurt maybe because a small tiny bitsy hoped she wouldn't have to marry Khris even though she knew how genuine he was. A tiny part hoped Alexius would climb onto a big strong white horse and ask for her hand in marriage. Kiss her endlessly and tell her he loves her... she didn't love him, she thought. She couldn't, Lucia hated him, she loathed every single atom on his body... this drove her to want to prove him wrong. To never need anything from him, never ever have to need him. He thought he was the centre of Lucia's world, he was at first but everything changed. Her child was now the centre of her world and nothing else other than that.

Khristian and Lucia got married in the courthouse, his mother was present as witness. She had told him everything that had transpired with the Prince the evening before. Khris promised her that he would prove that arrogant Prince wrong, he would take her to Paris no matter how many jobs he had to put up with. They got married the very next day without telling her aunt or anyone. Lucia wore a pretty floral dress, she felt pretty but she didn't want to be pretty, this wasn't special for her. This was a marriage of convenience. Khristian was the perfect gentleman aways making sure Lucia felt comfortable and was happy. He was hurt, Kyra was getting married to the archduke. He had always dreamed of marrying her and being with her but she never gave him a chance. Khristian and Lucia cared so much about each other enough to know that this was what was best for the both of them. Khristian thought Lucia was absolutely beautiful and graceful but he just couldn't bring it upon himself to love her in anyway other than the love; that of siblings. Once they had both said 'I do', Khris kissed her on the cheek; her cheeks flushed beetroot red. They were now husband and wife, Lucia was no longer Lucia Andreou but rather Lucia Salavas ratherish Mrs. Salavas.

"Aunty, Khris and I got married yesterday." Lucia told her aunt who looked bored to death.

"You mean eloped." She said apathetically instead Lucia ignored her little put down.

"Khris wants me to move in with him, for our child so he could take better care of me." She said scared of her reaction.

"And who is suppose to take care of me ?" She said aloof. "Who will read me the morning paper ? you know how I absolutely loathe the thought of reading-" She gasped, Gloria was illiterate. "Who will fix my healthy meals ? Who will do my laundry ? Who will send mail or fetch mail at the post office ?" She said in a dramatic tone, she wanted Lucia to feel horrible. She knew Lucia was very faint hearted.

Khris then stepped in to defend Lucia, his wife. "With all due respect. My wife-" he stil wasnt accustomed to the word. "Pregnant and you still let her do all these things, should it not be the other way around ?" Khris reasoned.

"Your wife you say ? You married my niece without my presence as the aunt and only family. You made her pregnant, do not talk to me like that because I intend to let the King know." Gloria shook her head furiously.

"Go ahead and tell the King-" Khris sneered. "I'm tired of you treating Lucia like your maid. She is your niece for goodness sake and I'm afraid this marriage might be her only chance from ever experiencing a normal life."

"How sure are you that you are the father ?" Gloria said firmly.

"I don't know what you are playing at but I will not hesitate to beat you to a pulp. I'm sick of you, I'm sick of your attitude. Lucia might stand for this but I won't." Khris abruptly stood up. "You might be as old as my own mother but once you anger me, you will not like me then-" Lucia knew Khris always got worked up in her aunts presence ever since they were kids.

"I don't like you already but I'm on your side here son.-" she let out a sardonic laugh. "Lucia here is very promiscuity, all I'm saying is are you very sure that this is your child ?" She questioned a grimace plastered on her lips. Lucia was hurt, she had always done well by her aunt and she would rather talk badly about her right infront of her. Lucia finally saw that her aunt did not care about her and she didn't owe her anything because just as much as her aunt took care of her, she worked twice as hard to get it.

"Aunty, how can you say that ?" Lucia said hurt clear in her voice.

"Just last night you were with the Prince at dawn. What else would you be doing my dear ? serving royalty in what way ?" Gloria said innocently.

"Don't you dare insult Lu- i mean my wife like that." Khris said cheerlessly.

"Firstly you told me that the Prince would never spare me a glance ? now you are saying I was at the palace serving the Prince in a very unlady like manner. What do you want from me ?" Lucia said out of words to express herself.

"Lucia my dear, you were never a liar, you have never lied to me atleast so I definitely know something went on between you and the Prince." Gloria said smugly feeling proud of herself.

"Well you are wrong." Lucia said a smile now appearing on her lips. "This time I lied."

"You would never-" She gasped.

"She did." Khris added loving the way Gloria's eyes squinted with hurt.

"Leave at once you canning little gigolo." Her aunt said abruptly clearly raging with anger.

"Let's go pack your things-" Khris said helping Lucia get on her feet.

"The things that I bought her. She will leave with only what she is wearing-" She let out an evil chuckle. "I'm giving you a great start on a new beginning."

Khris just shook his head at her with her distaste. "Let's go Lucia" Khris said softly.

"Don't come back, you hear ?" Gloria yelled when they had reached the door.

Lucia had now cut two toxic people out of her life.

The Prince and her evil Aunt.

lmao I'm so sorry for confusing you with any pregnancy stuff, i have never been pregnant and I'm trying to research stuff like when does the baby or fetus start kicking etc lmao Idk. Just pretend with me in the story, it is after all fiction. Don't think too much into it, I'm not a nurse even though my mom was. I'm clueless at these things.
