Saving Ms. Ex-Princess

Chapter 7

Leana;

A few days have passed and I'm slowly getting used to my new lifestyle on this island.

Though, I'll admit that I'm still struggling.

Since childhood I was not used to doing any kind of housework. There were people who used to work for me.

Even with my food, someone else prepares it for me. Even taking a shower and washing my clothes.

When I was finally kicked out of the palace, I thought my life would change and I would have to learn the things that normal citizens of the country do.

But that didn't really happen because of my encounter with Kira Vitale.

He accidentally saw me in a waiting shed, crying while soaking wet because that night there was heavy rain.

He approached me because, according to him, he felt bad about my situation. He gave me a towel that I used to dry myself a little bit and a jacket to warm me up.

Then, he sat beside me asking why I was sitting there but didn't even look at the bus that had been stopping at the shed.

I don't know what was on my mind that night but I was just so hurt and I wanted to tell someone what I felt so I told him everything.

Well, aside from the fact that I am part of the Avenir Clan.

I replaced that part and the reason why my family exiled me.

He felt even more bad and that is when he decided to offer me to stay at his place since he was the only one who lives in a huge mansion.

Of course, I immediately declined because I don't even know who he is.

But he insisted and promised that he would not do anything to me. He was just trying to help me.

And I can feel his sincerity that is why in the end, I ended up agreeing with him and willingly going with him.

Nothing really strange about him when I started living with him.

He is nice and kind to me. He takes care of me and never shows any regrets about taking me home with him.

He also never asked anything in return.

I even tried to offer him myself but he refused and said that we shouldn't do that if I only feel that I must do it as a p*****t for all the things that he gave to me.

And that is when he confessed to me that he is attracted to me and that is the real reason why he approached me at the waiting shed. That he really wanted to make love to me but he didn't want to force me because his feelings for me are genuine love.

I don't really love him but because I feel like I owe him everything in my life after my exile, I lied and said that I love him.

I said that I fell in love with him while he was taking care of me. I lied and said that I want to spend the rest of my life with him by my side.

I lied and said that he is the only one that I needed in my life.

Because at that moment, I always thought that if I reject his feelings for me, I will have to get out of his house and life. And for the second time, I will be left alone without anything in me.

Well, nothing really changed even after that aside from extra care that I have been experiencing from Kira.

And I did my best to give him the love that he deserved. Well, even though I don't love him, I still appreciate everything he did for me so I tried my best to reciprocate his feelings for me.

But one day, he started telling me to get out of the country.

I don't know what happened to him and he suddenly wants to leave Avenir. But I said that I don't want to live in another country.

I said that this is my home and I intend to stay here as long as I live.

And that was when he said that he knows who I really am.

I was taken back by that. I didn't know how he knew because as far as I know, the palace started to delete everything about me.

The palace wanted to erase everything that I did for the country. They wanted to take out every book where my name was mentioned. They wanted to erase that once upon a time, I am involved in the palace.

He didn't say anything as to how he learned about me.

He just kept asking me to leave the country with him but I stood by my decision. I can give him everything he wanted from me in exchange of everything he did and gave to me.

But living in the country where I was born is a different issue.

I was only exiled in the palace and our family. I am still a citizen of this country and if I agree to him and leave Avenir, the chance for me to clear my name will totally disappear.

I thought Kira already understood me. I thought that he respected my decision and let me stay in this country.

But I was wrong.

Right after we made love, he made me drink a juice that immediately put me to sleep and the next thing I knew, I was already lying on a bed in a different country.

That is when things started to change between him and me.

I started giving him the cold shoulder. Didn't even say anything whenever he was around. I don't socialize with anyone in the house and always stay inside my room.

But Kira didn't change. He patiently takes care of me and gives me the space that I need. He even spends most of his free time together with me, inside my room.

That is why I slowly feel like it was too immature for me to keep mad at him. I thought that maybe he was just afraid that I would go back to my family if I stayed there and my family would not approve of our relationship because he is a foreigner.

With that in my mind, I finally got out of my room and went to the garden in that mansion to talk to him.

And that is when I finally saw the true personality of that man.

Kira Vitale is not the nice and kind man that I knew. He was just pretending in front of me so he could hold me to stay by his side.

But the real Kira is much worse than I could ever imagine.

Aside from the truth that he is the leader of Vitale Mafia who runs drugs and human trafficking transactions around the world, he is also the main reason why I got exiled from my family.
