Stacey POV
I was crying when I wanted to tell him about how I lost my parents.I was so hard.
“That day,it was almost 10 am and my dad woke me up.My little brother was running around the house.My mom was making breakfast and I came down.I sat in the breakfast table and mom came with all our breakfast s.They all sat on the table and we started having our breakfast.All of a sudden our door bell rang.My mom rushed and opened the door.She froze at the spot while my dad rushed to her.
“No!” screamed my dad.He told us “Run,hide,go !”
I ran as fast as I could but my brother slipped and fell on the cold ground.In a second,they shot my mom in the belly and my dad broke down.”Please don’t hurt my children,please let them go please take me instead please,!,” he begged to the man in a suit who was surrounded with bodyguards.But they were merciless.They shot my brother and my dad in cold blood.Upon seeing that,I was so traumatised that I lost me sense.
I woke up in a hospital bed and I shouted to let go of me.The nurses held me tight but soon a policeman came,he told me that they were gone and they will punish whoever did this.I could clearly understand that he was lying.Because,the killer was never put to justice.The news never made to the headlines,nothing”I cried my heart out in Alan’s embrace.He held me tight and kissed my forehead.
“Stace,look at me”He lifted my jaw to face him “Nothing will happen to you,as long as I am breathing,nothing can even touch you.I will protect you from this world.You will always be safe,I promise”
“But...but Will you help me ? To find the killer?” I asked as gently as I could.
He looked at me with disbelief.
Alan POV
She was talking about what happened 6 years ago.The Williams.She is the daughter of Davis Williams.Her family was killed by John Black.My brother!
“Stacey,look at me.Is your second name ‘Williams’?” I asked her hoping that she would say no.
“Yes,I am... wait,how ? How do you—-?” She was stammering.
“Stacey,go to sleep now.I will talk to you tomorrow.I will send a maid to massage your head and here take these meds.”I said and kissed her forehead.
“Good night,kitten”

I went to my room and lied on the bed.I thought about everything.About Stacey being the daughter of our enemy.About my brother whom I detested.About how will I bring justice to her and how will I make her smile.
I was feeling devastated.For the first time in my life,I was being controlled by my heart.By my feelings.I fell asleep while thinking about these things.
I woke up by the sound of a knock on my door.I was angry.How dare they knock on my door and especially when I am sleeping!I will fire whoever is outside.
I opened the door with red eyes and bare body.
“What do you—-“
“Master,”Emily cut me off.
“Miss Stacey is not feeling well.She is terribly sick.I think she needs medical attention.”
“What!” I said in a low tone.Thunder struck into my heart.I ran to her room and I saw her face under the pale light of the moon which was coming from the window.Her nose became red like blood and so were her eyes.She was shaking.I ran to her and hugged her,placing my head in my chest.
“Call the f*****g doctor!I said to emily and she ran at once.
“Come on Stacey it’s okay.Don’t cry,you know you are strong.I am here for you.”I hugged her tight never wanting to let her go.
She sobbed and her tears drenched my bare chest.
“Lay down,close your eyes,I am here.I am not going anywhere”
Within half an hour or so the doctor arrived.She checked her and gave some meds.
“She has fever.Its nothing serious.She will be fine tomorrow but I believe she will have to take rest for the next couple of days,She needs to avoid things which frighten her.She is very sensitive.
Sensitive huh?
I said emily to stay with her the night and take care of her.I went to my room and slept because I had a very important meeting tomorrow.Very important.
Stacey POV
I woke up in the morning with my head feeling heavy.I was feeling very sick.I tried to get up but a maid rushed towards me
“My lady,you need rest,please lie down,I will bring brunch for you”
She ran and i was alone in the room. Where is Alan? I wondered.I knew no one except him.Where did he go?
It was almost 12 pm and the maid came running to me with the food.It was pancakes,my favourite.
I ate the pancake.It was so delicious,I can’t believe its taste.
“Did you make it ?”
“No Master Alan made it in the morning and left it for you.Ever since you came around he’s changed,he never cared for anyone in his life,until you arrived”
How a cruel man can care for me I wondered.I finished everything while thinking about Alan.
“My lady,do you want anything else.Do you want to watch tv or anything? the maid asked me.
“Can I go outside?”
“My lady, I am sorry to say this but Master Alan has strictly forbid to let you go out of the house.You can roam around but inside the house.
I was sad.
After almost 1 and half hour,Alan came rushing into my room.His manly fragrance spreaded all over my room.He was sweating.He looked so beautiful with wearing the black suit.He sat in my bed and hugged me.”How are you feeling ?”He asked
“Better now” I smiled.
Alan POV
She was looking better and my heart was at peace.I was finally relieved.She was looking sad,but why?
“Thank you,for last night and for the breakfast today.It was very tasty” She said as she laughed like a little kitten.I have never heard such beautiful laugh in my entire laugh.Such a beautiful mixture of innocence and love.
“Why are you sad?”She asked me
Me,sad?How did she know?No one has ever asked me about how I was or no one has ever been able to read my face.
“I am not,I was worried about you”
She looked down on the bed and her cheeks turned red.I loved when she did that.”You need to take care of yourself Stacey” I said to her.
She slowly hugged me and said “Please take me outside I don’t want to stay here all day”
“Where do you want to go?” I asked and I was happy that she asked something.
“Wherever but here”
“Open the closet,choose any of your dress and get ready,We will go wherever you want” He said as he kissed my forehead,
The warmth of his kiss was one of the most beautiful feeling.I am grateful that the king of the country is taking care of me.Giving me everything I’ve ever wanted.
Everything I never could have had without him.
He wasn’t the devil,He was a king.
