*************

Have you ever seen a person who had just been robbed by a gang of dacoits?

That's how I might be looking like, right now.

Only now I noticed that this narcissistic guy is also wearing a white suit. I alternated my glance between both the boys standing. I couldn't understand that how should I probably feel right now. Obviously I was feeling embarrassed that I mistook a stranger as my fiancé but one feeling was really strongly radiating through me and that was; anger.

I quickly turned back to face that guy named Caleb,"How dare you to play a duet with me?! Why didn't you said anything earlier?" I knew that this guy did it on purpose. Surely he would have been fallen for my charms.

"Miss, your imaginations are really wild." He replied with that same cold face.

He dares to say this!

My jaws literally dropped down as if someone had hung dead weights on it.

Is this what he thinks?

My imaginations are not wild. The truth is that you are just so....zombie. I don't know why this is the first word that came to my mind.

"Hey you! Do you even know the consequences of talking back to the princess!" I retorted.

"I knew that it wouldn't be any good to talk to you so I didn't reply back then, moreover do you know the consequences of sniffing that white lily?" He said with a victorious smirk on his face.

"I suggest, you don't give that lily to her because....princesses are allergic to it's pollens." And with this, he left without waiting for a reply.

Speechless!

First, he wasted my precious time which I could have devoted to my plan. Second, he talked back and that also all disgraceful words. And now he said that it's no use to talk to me!

Does he think that I am dumb? Okay, I admit that I had always been an average student in my class because marks never mattered for my mom...but...but still it's cruel.

Though he was right about that lily part because I am indeed allergic to it, I wonder how he knew about it.

I feel so robbed right now, how stupid I was to fall for his charms. I actually started building our future. Gosh! So embarrassing.

"The organisers shouldn't place such dangerous flowers here. I'll get them removed as soon as possible." Peter said.

I almost forgot that he was standing beside me.

He plucked a white rose this time and gave it to me. I gladly took it from his hands as he held mine to kiss it's back lightly.

Thank god that now everything's going on track, I had successfully found my fiancé and even he seems to have a fetish for me. He is not bad either, he is a few centimetres smaller then that Caleb though. He has beautiful dark brown eyes but it's not mysterious like those of Caleb's and- wait, why am I comparing him to that zombie who has zero IQ regarding how to talk to a girl.

Wake up Ronnie, snap out of his thoughts after all your dream boy is standing in front of you.!!

I delicately sniffed the flower and smiled while saying, "Thanks, Peter."

"Your welcome, princess. No wonder that my parents chose you as my fiancée. Your beauty can't be compared even with that flower." He replied while coming a bit nearer.

His romantic lines are so blunt and sweet that I am afraid that I'll have diabetes.

But still, as it is my first time so definitely it made me blush.

We started walking together towards the ball room while chatting about what we did in these past few years. Most of it that I told him was a pure lie because I can't just tell him that I barely used to get passing marks when I was in school. I was quite moved by his academic achievements moreover he was such a gentleman because when we were descending the stairs, he held out his hands for me to come down.

Now I can see my mom talking with his parents a few meters away from us. The three of them looked happily at both of us while we both were smiling and talking to each other.

Finally, I asked him the question that was bugging me since I met him, "Peter do you still remember when we last met?"

"No. Have we met before? I thought it's our first time meeting each other." He said innocently.

As expected.

"Give me some hints so that I can recall." He said while eagerly looking at me.

"Yes, sure!" I said while clapping my hands together.

"It was about eleven years ago when I lost my sandal at the Royal ball that was held in Washington. You found it for me." I am glad that I remember every detail of that event.

He placed his index finger on his chin, rubbing it while trying to remember.

Within barely two seconds his eyes widened with amazement I suppose.

"It's you, Veronica Hamilton!" He replied, almost piercing my ear drums. I didn't expect him to be so excited about it that he would even forget where he was. Even he realised that he was too loud so he again repeated but this time lowering his volume, while I happily nodded.

POV of Peter

She?! This girl. Out of every living maiden on this planet, why her?!

I can see her nodding her head happily but her happiness was only making me madder.

Of course! How can I forget that day when I met a brat like her.

🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Eleven years ago.....

It was afternoon of October at that time when I was seven and came to attend my first Royal ball with my parents. As everyone was dancing around, I was busy eating my chocolate cake when I saw this girl, Veronica.

She seemed to be worried about something, I was wondering what it is when I noticed that she was searching for one of her pink sandals while wearing the other one.

It was really amusing to watch her do so, which could easily beat this boring ball.

She was lifting everyone's gown to look for her sandal. As I moved my feet to turn back towards the cakes' counter I felt something touch my feet.

It was her pink coloured sandal. I grabbed it and came to her. I extended my arm to give her back her sandal but she insisted that I should help her to put on that pinkie thing on her foot.

I was shocked that how can someone order me, the prince, to help her with her sandal. So I said that;

"You are such a stupid thing."

I don't know why but she was so mad at me that she snatched that sandal from my hands and threw it at a big pyramid of wine glasses kept behind me, bringing the whole thing down!

My dad came rushing towards me and asked me whether it was me who did this mini-scandal so I denied, after all, I didn't throw it right?

But that bitch told my dad that it was me who was holding her sandal.

At this he screamed at me, that now I had even started making up lies and with that he lifted me above the ground with my head, facing towards his back. And then he started spanking my little butt in front of everyone, all the way to the mansion.

🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

As I pull my consciousness to the present, I can't help but gasp heavily. Even now I can imagine that stinging pain which was gifted to me that day, because of this smiling bitch in front of me.

"It's you, Veronica Hamilton!" I literally can't control that hidden anger that was building up inside me for so many years.

I realise I was too loud when I saw the death glare of dad from a few feet away.

I couldn't believe that how did I got flattered by her evil charms. Thank god that before it was too late I came to know about this witch's identity.

How can she expect my love when she did that thing to me. I would surely do something to erase that sense of victory from her face.

"No need to scream out my name so loudly, Peter." She said while curving her lips into a seductive smile.

"Don't."

I finally blurted out. I can't bear to hear my name from her lips anymore, it seems as if thousands of wasps are swarming around me.

"Don't what?" She said while giving me a puzzled look.

"Come up with me now!" I growl while holding her delicate wrists tightly, making sure not to injure her but surely enough to make her wince with pain. I don't wait for her reply while pulling her along with me. I can hear our parents laughing and saying how eager I am to talk to her!

If they would have known that now I don't want to even meet her.

"Leave my hand, it's paining and my heels!!" She scowled when I finally let her hand go.

"What is wrong with you? Few moments ago you were such a gentleman and now you are hurting me!" She said while massaging her wrist.

"Yes, I was a gentleman because at that time I didn't know that I was with you!"

"What are saying? Were you blind at that time that you didn't know it was me."

How dare she!

"Yes, probably I was. I should have known that I am walking with Veronica!" I shouted while stressing even more on her name.

"Shut up! Don't act like a vagabond, why are you reacting like this?" Her black eyes glaring at me like AK-47 rifles.

"After what you did to me at that time, I am not at all interested in you."

I expected her to slap me or scream at me but she starts laughing, I can see that evil mother of Snow White in her.

"I know that you are joking. And I also know that you are attracted by my charms or else why would you give me this flower." She replied while holding out that white rose.

"I was just toying with you so don't think so highly of yourself."

"Admit it, Prince Peter...." she purred while placing her right arm on my right shoulder and snaking it back up to my neck, "that you have a fetish for me.." she completed her sentence while biting her lower lip.

Whirlpools started inside my gut as her hands constructing circular patterns on my neck. Light from the nearby lamp was shimmering in her eyes as they are dancing in them.

Snap out of it you moron!

I quickly withdrew her hand from my neck and took six steps backwards. For a flit ssecond, I was almost mesmerised by her drugging eyes but than god that I came back to my senses at the right moment.

"Don't try to seduce me. I am not an ordinary guy who would fall for you. Forget it princess, I won't take you as my fiancée." I paused for a few seconds and then resumed, "Moreover I have a girlfriend too, she's in this party so excuse me. It won't be right if she sees me talking to some other girl."

Shit!

I don't have a girlfriend, how can I make up such a lie. Now how will I spot someone here to be mine. I have dug a grave for myself. I just hope that she doesn't wishes to see her.

POV of Veronica

"Where is she then? I want to also look that what sort of taste have you developed." I said with a bitchy voice.

Though I was acting really bold but my insides were breaking gradually. I don't like him but getting rejected is not my style either. Moreover, what will happen if mom will come to know about this?

"She..er wait let me call her here." He said and started searching for that girl. I looked around, I wonder who is that girl who captured his heart. I couldn't find anyone who can stand my beauty.

"Here she is." He said while pointing towards...the waiters' room?!
