I woke up the morning feeling heavy because of my dream. I don't know why I even had that dream.

They said that sometimes your dreams are the things you kept on thinking or things that bother you.

Whatever the reason. It made me feel so heavy today that I don't even know if I'll function well.

I've been with Jackson for years. We dated for three years, throughout our relationship. The only problem we had was because we're lack of communication. But never did he cheat on me or had bug arguments that lead us into not speaking to each other.

I never had a boyfriend aside from Jackson. But I must say that when I was in high school to college, I've met some bunch of guys that I used to like. But things with them didn't work out because my feelings weren't that strong for me to think of having relationships with them.

They are nice and some are boyfriend material. I don't know why I only let Jackson be my boyfriend. I had all the chance.

Well... maybe sometimes we really pick the wrong person to make us realize things.

And Jackson made me realize that I shouldn't let anyone hurt me because I am Kia, not just someone he can mess up with.

Boys are the ones who should beg for my attention and not the other way around.

I put the paper bags inside my car and frowns a bit before I went to the driver's seat.

I'm going to the rest house where I locked Prince Jacques. I bought the things he needs. Especially the gummy worms he asked me to.

I thought of adding some gummy bears and sour gecko too so I bought it for him too.

I bit my lower lip.

It's still making me wonder why Prince Jacques wasn't bothered at all.

It's been two days and I haven't heard any news about his disappearance yet. It seems like Jackson hasn't told them yet, huh? Is he scared that he might god scolded or something?

Coward.

When I got to the rest house. Prince Jacques was playing chess together with Francis in the balcony. I saw that his feet are still in chain.

"Kia," Melinda was the first one to notice me. She's the one who opened the gate for me.

"Melinda, please help me with the groceries," I said and open the door in the backseat of my car to show her the paper bags full of groceries.

"Sure," she said and asked another maid we have her to help her.

Wearing a five inches stilettos, I made my way inside the house to go to the second floor where the balcony is located.

What is Francis even doing here? He didn't even tell me he's coming here. He can't just come here like that because some might suspect him.

"What are you doing here?" Instead of bothering to greet them, that's the first words that came out from my mouth when I got to the balcony.

Prince Jacques raises his head to me before he went back to look at the chessboard.

"Kia!" I turned my attention to Francis who's now standing to come to me. "I thought you slept here so I didn't give any notice any more and come here anyway..." he said before he took something from his seat. It's an envelope and I think that's some information I asked him about Leah.

Speaking of Leah. I don't know if she got home safely but I could care less. She shouldn't expect me to be kind enough and bring her home after what she did to me. She was blunt enough last night to tell me how much she hates me.

"You can't just come here like that, Francis!" I scolded him and he only just shrugs his shoulder before he handed me the envelope.

I took it from him before my eyes went back to Prince Jacques who's looking at us now with curiosity written on his eyes.

His thick yet perfectly shaped eyebrows are frowning a bit and the way he rests his thumb on his red luscious lips is making me distracted.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't urgent but I want to really just give this to you personally." Said Francis that made me go snap back to reality.

"Oh..." that's the only thing I could say because I got distracted by Prince Jacques already. I cleared my throat. "Why are you playing board games with him?" I asked and look at him, trying my best to avoid Prince Jacques' gaze.

"Ah?" Francis turns his eyes to Prince Jacques. "He said he was bored because he doesn't have anything to do and I am just a good citizen of this country who wants to serve our future king." And then Francis gave me a wide smile that made me cringe.

Of course, even when we kidnapped Prince Jacques, nothing could change the fact that he is still the future king and we can't just make him suffer. We're still citizens of this country and I wouldn't be surprised anymore if everyone here would really serve and please him.

I looked at the chess boars and I saw that he already got Francis' checkmate.

They weren't lying when they said that the crown prince is smart, huh? He really a master's in academics and arts.

"Tss," that's the only thing I could react to Francis.

When my attention is finally focused on Prince Jacques and seems like he noticed that. He quirks his brows and rested his back to the backrest of the chair that he's sitting.

"Did you buy me the things I need?" Things he needs huh? What? The gummy worms?

I'm glad that I wasn't harsh enough to Jackson and I still decided to bring clothes for him before we kidnap him. Those clothes were my design and I never imagined a day where the crown prince would wear it. Even though those are just casual clothes, the prince just made it look almighty and beautiful.

"Yeah... I got your gummy worms, your highness." Then I rolled my eyes.
