Chapter 126 - Love May Not Always Keep Us Together (1/2)

”Then what does Your Highness want?” Rere challenged Prince Ahmed.

”Why are you so passionate?”

”I am not, Your Highness.” Rere tried to contain her anger. She remembered Prince Ahmed's emotions can't be controlled. Rere remembers her favorite drama scene about a psychopathic person. People with disorders like Prince Ahmed should not be made nervous. Psychopaths lack empathy and compassion for others.

”Then why did you challenge me?”

”I'm not challenging you.” Rere took a deep breath. She walked around the lavender garden, inhaling the aromatic lavender scent. Rere was thinking of a way to trick prince Ahmed and fled from there.

”It seems that you've changed your mind,” Prince Ahmed was sarcastic. He laughed in amusement, seeing Rere's change of behavior. At first, she was scared but after that, she calmed down.

”What should I do?” Rere involuntarily cried. The tears rolled down her cheeks.

”Why are you crying?” Prince Ahmed was moved to see Rere's tears.

”How could I not cry? Your Highness kidnapped me. I was forced to separate from my husband and my two children. How could I not be sad? I don't know Your Highness personally. I did not hurt you, Your Highness. Why did you do this to me? What did Dino do to you?”

”How many times do I have to tell you? Dino took my happiness away. He snatched Ananya from my side,” Prince Ahmed is irritated remembering his one-sided love.

”He was not stealing. Ananya chose Dino because she loves him. They love each other so they got married. Your Highness should not torture him because of your one-sided love. Love doesn't need to be forced because the heart always finds its owner.”

”What do you know about love?”

”I know because love has touched my heart.” Rere touched his chest.

”Don't glorify love if your relationship started from a mistake. I know you were pregnant out of wedlock. You spent one night together so you got pregnant. You married for children and not for love. Don't ever teach me what LOVE is!”

”Okay, I was wrong. I was presumptuous.” Rere looked down. Not daring to meet Prince Ahmed's eyes.

”Why don't you dare to look at me?”

”Shouldn't the people not be looking directly at the Prince's face?”

”You're not my people. So there's no need to act like you're my people.”

”I can't, Your Highness.”

”Go inside. Get ready to accompany me to dinner.” Prince Ahmed signaled two maids to take Rere to her room and get dressed.

The two servants took Rere away.

”Let me go.” Rere didn't like being dragged.

”Don't fight us, madam. You just do what Prince Ahmed wants. If you fight, he will kill you,” said one of the servants, making Rere shudder.

Rere was forced to follow Prince Ahmed's will. Rere was brought into the majestic palace. This place is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Magnificent and luxurious. It's not a mansion like Rere thought. The two waiters looked very friendly. They respected Rere then brought her upstairs. The maid uses the card to open the door.

”Please come in, madam,” he said politely.

”What's your name?” Rere spoke with a Malay accent. For some reason, she was impressed by the two maids. She was a prisoner but their treatment was very good.

”I'm Alya.”

”What about you?” Rere looked at the other maid.

”I'm Sabrina.”

”Sabrina, Alya.” Rere looked at the two with pleading eyes.

”We can't help you. We'll die if we do that,” Sabrina answered quickly.

Rere was hopeless. She wanted to cry out loud, roaring at the blank wall. Rere slumped to the floor as she entered the room. She cried, hugging her feet. Thinking of a way to get out of this place. What are Dino, Leon, and Hanin doing? Rere vented her emotions by crying, feeling that she will never meet her family again.

”Come on, madam. You'd better take a shower and get ready for dinner.” Alya looked at her sadly.

”You think I can still eat in this condition?” Rere looked at Alya sarcastically.

”No one can save you. Your Highness will not let you go. No one can escape from this place. If you force your way, Prince Ahmed will not hesitate to kill you. No one can get out of this place alive. Your Highness has no heart. You messed with the wrong person,” Sabrina blamed Rere instead.

”Who wants to know and deal with that crazy prince?” Rere erupted.

”Watch your words, madam. You have abused our prince. You could be put to death for cursing Your Highness.”
