161 Staying Over Lena found herself spending a lot of the day with Jovani and Samuel even though she didn’t want to be around the former much. Her father was still refusing to let her work for the rest of the week and because Samuel was still worried about her- wherever she was, that was where her fiancé wanted to be. She wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t for the fact that his cousin happened to want to spend time with him as well. It was odd to her how intent and interested he was in getting…

160 More Trouble Than He Appeared Even though Lena and Samuel had been gone for near half an hour, Jovani was still standing where he had been when they left. He and Zane had stopped talking when they entered the room. “Did you come to any decision?” The princess asked as she looked over at her father who seemed more relaxed than he did earlier. “Based upon what he says, the best route would be for Sam’s mother to go with them.” Zane replied. Evelyn had also taken part in the…

159 Not Staying Here Zane decided that he would stay and talk further with Jovani about the matter while Lena and Samuel left to discuss what the best option might be. The princess was staunchly against it after Jovani had dismissed her suggestion that she come with them for the same reason he said that it would be unwise for the head of the Vedova Nera to their estate. “You really think that it would turn out that badly?” Samuel asked as he sat in one of the arm chairs in the sunroom. Lena who…

158 Displeased The next three days passed in rather the same form as the first one after Lena had decided to come out of her room. Samuel was push her about eating and taking care of herself, half of the time she wouldn’t listen to him though as she was still annoyed by everything that had been going on. Her father wouldn’t let her go back to work until after her injuries were healed and she had spoken with Jovani. She didn’t think that her injuries should’ve affected her ability to work, but…

157 Might Be Good For Her Genson was rather surprised when he had been invited into Zane’s office. It was one of the few places in the house that he had expected to never gain access to, yet somehow the princess had invited him in. Interestingly, Samuel was there as well. “To what pleasure do I owe this summoning?” Genson asked as he invited himself into the office but remained standing in the doorway. He could tell that Zane wasn’t pleased with him being there but allowed for his daughter to…

156 Setting things up “Come in.” Zane told whoever was on the other end of the door. He was slightly surprised when Samuel was the one who opened the door and peeked inside. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything. I just finished talking with Jovani and thought Lena might want her phone back and to know what was decided.” He said, stepping in after the princess motioned that it was okay for him to do so. “What did he have to say?” She asked as Samuel handed her phone back over.…

155 Still a Surprise By the time Lena had gotten to her father’s office, she was ready to go back to her room and forget being around people. It wasn’t that anything bad had happened, it was just that too many people checking on her. Again, very kind of her family and she appreciated it, but too much interactions wasn’t beneficial for her fight now especially when her brother and cousins insisted on hugger her so much. Her father at least understood how she was with her current mood and…

154 One Thing I Need You to Do Samuel felt slightly more rested when he woke up the next morning. He would tell that it was bright outside, but wasn’t sure of what time it was because he couldn’t check his phone. As he began to wake up more, one of the first things that he realized was that Lena was no longer in bed with him. In fact, he wasn’t all that certain where exactly she was when he opened his eyes to look around and noticed that she didn’t appear to be in her room any longer. Did that…

153 Not Much Better Lena ate most of the food that Samuel had brought for her. Less because she was hungry and more because she hoped that it meant that he would stop worrying about the fact that she hadn’t been eating. Everyone acted differently when they were overly stressed and for the princess that resulted in her not eating. She had nothing against food, to her when there was too much going on it just became an unnecessary time sink that she could cut out in order to focus on other things.…

152 Only Because You Need to Take Care of Yourself Lena didn’t say anything else as she gave Samuel a chance to process what she had just told him. It was a rather heavy thing to tell someone about. Somehow she wasn’t all that surprised that talking about it didn’t make her feel much better. She wasn’t sure that the memories that haunted her would ever go away no matter how many years passed. “Is that why you reacted so strongly when you found out what Jovani did to me, because we’re also…
