My Evil Boy Toy

We decided to start our question and answer while driving to town. Kyle and Emily couldn't come with us but will follow later since they still have royal duties.

"My first question. What's your favorite food?" He asked.

I chuckled. "Right now, italian food."

He nodded.

"My turn! Are you an only child?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. So what places have you visited for the past three years?"

"Italy, US, Hong Kong, and Australia. We travelled back and forth to those countries." I answered.

When the traffic light went red, he stopped the car and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat while looking back at him. He became serious.

"I admire you Margaret. You lived with your lady guard and your son for three years without asking any help from anyone." He commented.

"Well, I couldn't. I was hiding." I answered, softly.

"Why? Could you tell me what happened?" He suddenly asked.

I started telling him about Jayden.

"I fell in love. He was the only man who I loved for the past four years. I was seventeen when I met him. I was curious because she was disguised as a girl. That time I was a rebel and changed my boyfriend every week. I made him my boy toy but tried to dump him after a week like my other ex boyfriends. But things happened. I didn't expect to fall in love with him." I paused.

George was just listening to me when the traffic light changed to green.

"We were supposed to get married after we graduate high school. Everything was perfect. When I found out that the father I knew all along wasn't really my dad, we came here to meet my mom's family. After meeting Kyle and grandpa, we found out I'm pregnant. We were so happy. I was happy even though I needed to stop coming to school, I was allowed to graduate then we will get married."

I was beginning to become emotional. Reminiscing the days I spent with Jayden, I was really stupid leaving him like that.

"But I found out that her mother and my real father were once engaged. And it's possible that he's responsible for Jayden's mom's death. I couldn't accept the fact that his mom was dead because of my father so I decided to leave him."

I didn't realize tears were flowing from my eyes. I felt George's hand in mine, calming me down.

"You still love him." He whispered. It wasn't a question. It was more like reminding me that I am still in love with Jayden.

"I do. After all that happened, I am still in love with him. But he hates me. We came to Flousia because I was hurt. My son was hurt. It was painful to see him with another woman but I know I don't have any right to argue with him. I was his fiance three years ago but now, I'm just the mother of his child." I sobbed.

"Did he tell you that?" He asked. Then he continued when he saw me confused with his question.

"I mean, did he tell you that you are just the mother of Caden? Did he clearly tell you that you don't have the right to argue with him?"

I shook my head and thought of the words Jayden told me.

"He said he still loves me but he hates me at the same time. He couldn't trust me."

"It's normal Margaret. You were supposed to get married and then you disappeared. He must be devastated. You said you were happy and everything was perfect, then you left him without even knowing why. It's natural that he'll get mad and hate you. When he told you he still loves you, he was trying to trust you again. You can't expect him to just accept you after what you did." Everything he said was true.

"You know, I shouldn't be telling you this. I shouldn't be siding with him. He's my rival after all." He suddenly blurted.

I already knew he likes me but I was still shocked when he said that.

"G-George I-"

"Don't worry. I won't force you. I'm happy to be your friend. But if he doesn't come here to get you, I'll be glad to take you from him." He said in a serious tone.

"Thank you George."

We arrived in town and started to walk around. I never got a chance to tour around the last time I came here so George willingly became my tour guide.

We continued the question and answer while we tried on delicious delicacies in the street.

"How many girlfriends have you had?" I asked.

"Five. I think. How about you?" He followed.

"I can't remember. It's too many to count. But only one was serious." I answered.

We found a stall selling sky lanterns. A young girl and a boy about Caden's age were selling them.

"Prince George, it's a pleasure to see you." The girl said excitedly.

The boy's face became lively and greeted George as well.

"They were kids from the orphanage that I regularly visit." He murmured then introduced me to the kids.

"Princess Margaret? The missing princess?" The girl and the boy shouted in unison, enough to be heard by those near us.

They started to whisper to one another as they turned their gaze on me.

I was ready to hear some negative thoughts about me. I'm a disgrace to the royal family, yeah! I already know that so come one! Let me hear it! I wanted to shout it but no word came out from my mouth.

To my surprise, the people got closer to me and were all smiling.

"Our princess is back! Welcome home Princess Margaret!" They shouted.

It made me wonder why. I was overwhelmed when they accepted me. They greeted me with their genuine smiles. They are not fake.

"See? What did I tell you? They were thrilled to see you!" George leaned forward and whispered to my ear.

"Thank you!" I murmured.

"Princess, here. A welcoming gift from me and my brother. They said if you write your name in and the name of the person you wanted to meet in the lantern, it will definitely come true." The young girl said while handing me the lantern.

We thanked the kids and walked towards the town's river. This is where the main festival is celebrated. The people will release thousands of sky lanterns to light up the sky, hoping that heaven will grant their wishes.

"Would you like to try writing on your lantern?" George asked, giving me a black pen.
