The Crown Prince's Love

I had expected that Desmond would call me back into the room but he did no such thing and once I was outside the restaurant to the backyard with Tyler, I let out a groan and kicked the trash.

"you must be angry your highness. I could see the way you were giving Caspian a death glare back in that room and it seemed like you wanted to murder him." I frowned at him. "And how do you mean?"

Tyler chuckled. "you do not have to hide it from me brother. I have seen it all and I know why you left home," he said hands in his pocket with a babyish smile on his face. "it is nothing to hide my dear brother. I know what you are and I don't see anything wrong with it. Desmond is your boyfriend and I can tell that you are madly in love with him with by the way you stare at him. I have to say that your love is complicated." he chuckled and kicked a stone on the ground.

I heaved a deep sigh as I looked at him.

For a child who was separated from his family, he looked like he was doing well and there was no hint of sadness on his face.

His smiles made it seem like he was doing fine, but underneath everything, I could see that there was a silence back there.

A silence from rejection.

"How have you been, Tyler?"

He looked at me, hands still in his pocket, smiling again. "I am doing fine, Randy."

I placed a hand on his shoulder and shook my head. "I don't think that you are doing alright. You are just pretending to be alright but deep down, I know that you are truly not doing okay."

He raised his brow and removed his hands from his pocket and rubbed them together.

"I am doing...."

"Why didn't you write back home? To tell me how you are doing and what..."

He slapped my hand away. "Why do you care? I don't want to bother anyone. Uncle Newman had been generous enough to let me live after what my parent did so I should be at least grateful for that. And I have to admit that I am grateful for everything that he had done for me," he said, and heaved a deep sigh. "I don't want to burden anyone and..."

I pulled him into my arms before he could finish. "It is okay Tyler," I rubbed his back gently. "You were my baby cousin whom I loved deeply and it saddens my heart to see that you were not around me again. I expected to see your letter, your texts but they never came and I had thought that you resented the family for everything that happened to your parents but I never...."

"I missed you all," he confessed and I heard him sniffled. "The only way I could connect with you all was through the internet and that was where I had seen the headlines about you and Desmond."

I let go of him and stared into his eyes.

"Would you like to return home with me?"

His eyes searched mine as if he was seeking validation from me, waiting for what I had

to say. "Yes," he replied. "I missed everyone especially you, my dear brother," he hugged me this time and rubbed my shoulder warmly. "I could never have imagined that I would be separated from you for so long."

"Me too," I said to him. "But now, we are going to be back as a family."

"We better return inside before Caspian makes your boyfriend fall for him."

I growled at him. "Don't say things like that," I warned him.noveldrama

He chuckled. "We better go back inside then," he winked at me, and we both headed inside.

When we returned to where Desmond and Caspian should have been, they were no longer there and instead, it was Sophia.

"Hey Sophia, where is Desmond?" I asked her.

"He is with Caspian in the kitchen."

I exchanged looks with Tyler who shrugged his shoulder and then started walking away while I followed after him towards the kitchen.

Before I reached the entrance of the kitchen, I could hear Desmond's beautiful laughter. It angered me that he was sharing his laughter with others, and without waiting, I pushed the door open and their eyes turned towards me, but that was not what I was looking at.

Caspian was standing behind Desmond with his hands around his as they both had their hands in a bowl.

I clenched my fists as I watched them, and even when they saw me, they didn't let go of one another.

I walked to the both of them, angrily pushed Caspian away, and then slapped his hands away from Desmond's.

"Don't you dare touch my boyfriend," I growled possessively. "What the hell are you doing, Desmond?" I said through gritted teeth as I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the entrance of the kitchen. "You and I have something to talk about once we reach the penthouse."

"What on earth is happening to you, Randy?" Desmond's questions hit me the moment we stepped into the penthouse. I ignored him and headed towards the stairs. He followed, repeating the same question.

"Randy, please respond. I need to know what's happening, and why you're giving me the silent treatment!"

I chuckled but remained silent, walking past him and entering the bathroom.

"Randy!" he called after me, but I shut the door in his face, staring at myself in the mirror.

My reflection revealed dark bags under my eyes.

I was burdened with worries, and on top of that, I feared the new boy, Caspian, might

draw Desmond away from me or that Hecate could ruin everything for us.

I shouldn't be acting this way. Instead, I should draw closer to Desmond and make the best of our time here, where no one knows about us. It was the perfect place to find happiness until the heat at home had died down.

Instead of finding happiness, I was succumbing to jealousy.
