1365 Words
Bella POV “Wait!” Just as I was about to sign the relations-ending agreement, Lorenzo’s deep voice sounded. “Your Highness.” People in the room immediately greeted him. “Here you are, Lorenzo. Good timing. Isabella is about to sign the relations ending agreement now. Come and sign it too. Then I will notify the Council to officially end the chosen mate relations between you two.” Queen Mariana smiled cheerfully at Lorenzo. She was more than happy to witness us ending the marriage. “I see. Let me have a look at the agreement first, shall I?” Lorenzo gracefully raised his hand at me, hinting me to hand him the agreement. I nodded and handed it to him. I had already checked the agreement. It was said on the agreement that after signing it, I would no longer have any relationship with the Prince and the Royal Family. The Prince and I would break our chosen mate relations and we would officially reject each other in front of the Council. It was simple and that was what I wanted. Lorenzo took the agreement and turned around to check. After a few minutes, he turned back, facing me and handing me the agreement with his signature on it. “Your turn to sign.” He said in a soft voice while gazing at me with his charming deep blue eyes. His tone was unbelievably gentle at the moment. I hated to admit it, but my heart skipped a beat because of that. I hastily grabbed the agreement and hurriedly scribbled my name on it. It must be the mate bond. I couldn’t let it affect me. Done! Finally! Looking at both of our names on the agreement, I breathed a sigh of relied. “Councilor, please help us to announce this.” Seeing me finish my signing, Lorenzo showed a smile and said to the members of the Council. See, he also couldn’t wait to end our marriage. “Yes, Your Highness.” Mr. Brown nodded and took the agreement from my hand. “Huh?” He stared at Lorenzo with his eyes wide open. He seemed to be stunned. “Mr. Brown, please.” Lorenzo reminded him. “Both Prince Lorenzo Grutto and Luna Isabella White Grutto agreed that they would give birth to an heir in a year.” “WHAT?!” Everyone gasped and was shocked including me and Lara. What the f**k was going on?! I dashed towards Mr.Brown and robbed the agreement from his hand. The words “PREGNANCY AGREEMENT” was written on the paper instead of “CHOSEN MATE RELATIONS ENDING AGREEMENT”! Lorenzo, he changed the agreement?! “Lorenzo, what the heck is this? Why does it become a pregnancy agreement?!” I lost my composure and shouted at Lorenzo excitedly. “Surprise. Sorry, everyone. My Luna must be too happy about that.” He smirked and put his hand around my shoulders. “Bella dear, you are acting too excited. You’ve signed the agreement and agreed to get pregnant with an heir. Besides, we’ve tried SO. HARD. last night.” He deliberately emphasized those two words, making everyone in the room realize what did we try last night immediately. “Lorenzo Grutto!!” I glared at him. “Bella! Bite him! How dare he trick us?! Bite his f*****g smug head off!” Lara screamed in my head. Out of rage, I grabbed his arm and jumped, trying to bite him hard. But the next second, he used his other strong arm to hold my head, stopping me from biting him. He then leaned his face towards my lips. The bite became a f*****g kiss like that! I was stunned and froze at the spot. “Oh, that’s so sweet. His Highness and Luna love each other so much.” One of the Councilors, Mrs. Black uttered in an admiring tone. “I see what’s going on now. His Highness and Luna should have had some quarrels and Luna angrily asked for a divorce because of that. But now, they have made it up.” The other Councilor Mr. Brook touched the glasses on his nose bridge and said as if he had an epiphany or something. “Your Highness, I will pass on the good news of you and Luna going to have an heir to the Council.” “Good.” Lorenzo nodded. Hey, no! That was by no means the fact, okay? “Lorenzo Grutto, you trick me? Fine! You know what? This is not over yet!” I gritted those words through my teeth. “Your Majesty, Your Highness,” A sweet voice sounded from outside the door. Oh, it seemed that my secret weapon had come. Lorenzo, let's see what would you do. A pretty young lady wearing a pink dress showed up when the door was opened by the guards. “Your Majesty, Your Highness, Lady Monica is here.” One of the guards said. Monica Moton was the daughter of the Dark Night Claw’s Alpha. She was also Lorenzo’s childhood sweetheart and the best candidate for Luna in Queen Mariana’s eyes. I deliberately sent an anonymous text to her, inviting her to the meeting. With her being here, I was sure that I would break the chosen mate relations more easily as both Lorenzo and Queen Mariana preferred her to be Luna instead of me. “Oh, Monica, my dear, there you are. Are you getting better, sweetheart?” Queen Mariana immediately walked to Monica like a doting elder, holding her hand with a big smile. “Yes, Your Majesty, much better. I just happened to hear that His Highness would be going to cut his relationship with Isabella. I was worrying that it might be because of me. So I come and... to talk some sense to High Highness. It was really not Isabella’s fault for my injury. I am sure she didn’t push... I mean do that intentionally.” Monica uttered in her sweet and soft voice. Tears started to stream down her cheeks. She looked like she was worried sick about our relationship. “Uh-huh? Good Acting. Did she use eye drops or something? How can she squeeze out so many tears in a few seconds? ” Lara said snarkily in my head. I chuckled a bit because of her snarky comments. “What did you say? Did you say Isabella push you? Monica, tell me how exactly did you get the injury?” Queen Mariana cast a glare at me and asked. “I... I... Isabella pushed me down the stairs. But she didn’t mean to harm me. I...” Monica stuttered. “Monica, you are too nice to her. She pushed you down the stairs and hurt you and you are still trying to defend her? You have such a golden heart, but that vicious woman doesn’t deserve your kindness!” Queen Mariana stared dagger at me. “Believe it or not, she fell down the stairs by herself. I didn’t do anything. But I don’t have any proof. So, it’s fine with me whatever you want to believe.” I shrugged and said calmly. “You... You! Look at her, Lorenzo. You can’t let such a vicious woman bear the heir! You should end the chosen mate relations with her!” Queen Mariana was furious and turned to talk to Lorenzo. I raised an eyebrow at Lorenzo with the “what would you do” look, waiting for his answer. I believe that he would blame me and then break up with me as Monica was such a good actor and everyone would believe her and be her side. She had done those tricks many times and they always worked. “Did you push her?” Lorenzo looked at me deeply and asked. No one would believe my words. And Lorenzo would not be an exception. I had tried many times to explain. But still, all of them would trust Monica instead of me. In their eyes, I must be a vicious and scheming woman. Then why bother asking? I snorted and stared back at him, “No.”
