The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

CHAPTER 33.5: The Breaking Point

I couldn’t stop Sadia from hearing what Cade said next. “So, you had sex with my girlfriend and was so regretful you started sleeping with my sister? I kept trying to convince myself that you weren’t a shit person for what you were doing to Sadia but it’s clear to me you are because how you treat the two people you call your best friends. You’re really one of the best liars and manipulates I know Lexus. You acted so concerned when me and Vella broke up.” He looked at Arma. “I guess you’re happy now, you were right, and I was wrong.”

Arma looked down and frowned. “I didn’t want to be right.” She muttered.

Konn walked up behind Cade. “Cade-“

Cade cut him off. “No. There’s nothing you or he can say. I quit; I’m not working anywhere near him. Tell the King and Queen that I’m sorry for not giving any notice.” He looked at me one last time. “I defended you.” He chuckled out of frustration. “You know I felt guilt just from the fact that I started to like Sadia even though you never felt anything for her? Meanwhile you were having sex with my girlfriend and my sister with no issue. You were raised by my father, I guess you’re more like him than I am.” He turned around and walked towards one of the castle entrances passing Sadia.

Sadia was staring at me and looked even more hurt than before. When we made eye contact, she turned away. I rushed to her before she tried to leave. “Sadia.”

“Stop, just stop!” She yelled. “I’m leaving, I don’t want my stuff anymore. You were really cheating on me the entire time we were together. And with my friends.” She glared at Vella. “You disgust me.” Vella’s expression went from her being on the verge of breaking down to guilt.

Aqua rushed over to us as Vella left. “Sadia I’m so sorry.”

Sadia glared at her. “No, you’re not. I know you haven’t been here long, but I thought we were friends. You try to come off like you’re harmless and care about people. You’re selfish Aqua and you know

what? Your ex was right, you are submissive.” She paused. “I was there for you since we met. I was one of the first people to reach out to you to be your friend, so you’d be comfortable in a new world. I was there for you when you were heartbroken over your breakup.” She was trembling as she spoke. “I introduced you to Calvin and tried to give you hope. When that didn’t work out, I was there. When you felt like you weren’t a part of your own family and broke down, I was there. Even when you were feeling down the other day because of your mom and I still don’t even know exactly what that was about, but I was there for you. I was jealous of how much time you got to spend with my fiancé. That night you cried to me about your mom, and I held you I was jealous of you. I thought something might have been going on between you two. I was still there because I was convincing myself you wouldn’t do that.” She scoffed with tears running down her cheek. “I wish I could take back all the time I was there for you because you just deserve to suffer alone.” She took a few steps back, shifted and flew off before anyone else could say anything else.

“That’s the bad thing I felt coming...” Aqua mumbled and I watched her tears hit the ground.

I looked at the main back door and saw my parents walk out. The guards were speaking with them so I could only assume they were informing them about everything that went on.

My mother gestured for me to go to them, so I did. “Lexus we’re disappointed in you. We should have known something was going after you asked those questions.” My mother sighed. “You need to leave Lexus, we don’t think you should be here right now. We’re firing Vella but we can’t do the same with Aqua. It’s better that you leave. Your relationship with her has been highly inappropriate. You can stay wherever you want, there are tons of nice hotels in the central city. Me and your father have a lot to discuss moving forward.”

“I’ll escort you to your room to get whatever you need then see you out.” One of the guards said.

“You don’t understand, me and Aqua are-“

“Over.” My father spoke over me. I didn’t try to finish because why would they care that we were mates?” All they cared about was their image and their kingdom, not their son or his happiness.

“Fine.” I left with the guard and got a few important things. I ruined everything; I didn’t care about whatever punishment my parents would think of. I cared about how badly I hurt my best friends. I probably won’t be able to see Aqua either.

I flew for a few hours. I wanted to get as far away as possible. I didn’t even want to stay in the kingdom, so I went to one of the neighboring kingdoms. I stayed in an inn in a small village. It wasn’t that bad, no one had noticed who I was, and I had a lot of time to reflect. Aqua called me the next night. I wanted so badly to take her with me, to just run away. “I’m staying in an elf kingdom. I’ll be fine, what about you?”

“I don’t know… it’s weird being here without you. Plus, it feels like everyone knows. I’m getting a lot of strange looks and I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be doing with you gone. I’ve been thinking a lot about what Sadia said. Cade is still here but he’s been packing. I don’t think he really wants to talk to me. Lynn was trying to convince him to stay since Vella was officially fired and you’re gone. He’s not even talking to our Father.”

“I made a big mess.”

“We made a big mess.” Aqua corrected. “The way we did what we did was wrong.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t talk for a while, I don’t want to get you in trouble Aqua.”

“Oh… for how long?”

“I don’t know. Take care of yourself, okay?”

“Okay…”

I hung up and didn’t get any sleep that night. For the next month I helped out around the village. I had no contact with Aqua or anyone from home. NôvelDrama.Org content.

I looked down at my phone to see who was calling me and it was Cade. “Hey?”

“Where are you? Is Aqua there?”

“Aqua’s not with me, why?”

“I’m serious Lexus, this isn’t the time to lie. Where is my sister?”

I was starting to get worried. “I really don’t know, when was the last time you saw her? I haven’t spoken to her in a month.”

“Fuck, she’s missing, she’s been missing for a week.”
