William's P.O.V

"I know that you're awake Amora we need to talk baby." I whispered lightly kissing her on her forehead.

"I'm tired and I don't want to talk to you." She muttered before turning so her back faced me.

"There's no way you could still be angry at me after last night." I whispered in her ear moving so I hovered over her naked body that was currently being shielded by the white covers.

"Clearly I am William and I don't feel well nor am I in the mood." She muttered her eyes fluttering open to look into mines.

"Do you want me to call the doctor." I asked worry setting in.

"Maybe if it gets worse I just feel odd. I'm okay for now but I'll be even better if you left me alone." She answered smartly smiling faintly up at me.

"Alright but I'll make it up to you bella I promise and again I'm sorry for upsetting you yesterday." I said before kissing her lips.

"How do you plan on making it up to me?" She asked pulling away from my lips hers now holding a smirk which caused mine to fall. Not because I was scared  but because I came to the realization that the brown skinned woman that laid before me had a lot of control over me. She wasn't happy and I felt compelled to do something-anything in my power to change that. That fact shocked me seeing that the last person I ever felt like this towards was... well her.
"I...anything you want." I stuttered my mind fogging over with unwanted images and emotions.

"I want...I need you to be completely honest with me." She said after a long pause her request catching me completely off guard. I expected her to request something material; jewelry, a house, a car something along those line but not this.

"About what?" I asked rolling over to my side of the bed pulling her body with me so she now straddled my waist.

"Everything." She said averting her eyes to the bed covers.

"At least look at me while I do this." I found myself saying which caused her dark brown eyes to slowly find mines that were already looking at her.

"Okay." She whispered before climbing off settling next to me her piercing eyes looking at me intently.

"I was born on December 25th to my proud father who welcomed his only son into the world that night. From the time of my birth the only people who have ever taken the time to love  and care for me were my father, grandparents and Dora. My relationship with my mother has never been great the only time she ever acted like a mother towards me was when we were in the public eye and nothing has ever changed. Her lack of interest never affected me though. I learned everything I needed to know from my father and Dora. My father is Italian and my mother Spanish which he took pride in teaching me everything about my heritage on both sides hoping that it'll make me a better man and it did. I never really wanted to become king- afraid that I'll disappoint my father and my country but it was my destiny and I had to accept that. Amora I...I don't know what you want to know about me." I muttered when I felt myself reopening all the unwanted memories of my past.

"I want to know anything you're comfortable with telling me." She said softly stroking my cheek with her thumb before placing a gentle kiss where her finger once laid. I didn't know if she noticed how uncomfortable this topic got me but I was willing to go throw this one more time just for here because whatever I felt for Amora surpassed even my understanding.

"My life has never been that bad whatever problems I had to face were nothing compared to the average person. Yet everyone  has demons and they haunt our lives in  different forms. I wasn't always this cold but people change and I'm sorry that I can't be the gentle man you deserve but...I try not to be cold at least not when I'm with you. I'm scarred and I can't do anything about it now. I left myself unguarded to the wrong people in the past and well I was hurt I guess the result of that would be the person you know today. Dora told me that I didn't deserve you and the truth is she's right. I am a monster Amora and you deserve much better than I could ever offer you emotionally but I'm way to selfish to let you go." I said looking up at her glassy eyes.

"I am not yours to claim William." She muttered turning so she looked out the window instead at me.

"That ring on your finger says other wise Amora." I growled finding it hard to stay calm.

"You're so confusing! First you said that our marriage meant nothing now you want to claim me?!?" She asked her burning gaze now directed at me.

"Amora."

"You seem to give out engagement rings left and right. Seeing that you were already  engaged to Sara and only God knows who else this shouldn't mean anything right?" She asked cutting me off taking off her ring and throwing it at me where I now stood trying my best not to lose my cool.

"Put the ring back on." I said looking down at at the circular shiny object that bounced off my naked chest and landed on the edge of the bed. I stood there using all my energy to remain cool I understood that she was feeling a bit insecure and I also knew that hormones played a major part in her short fuse.

"You don't get to tell me what to do William I am not one of your blonde poppets." She spat folding her arms over her chest returning her gaze to the window.

"Obviously Amora I don't own any poppets and your hair is clearly black." I quipped looking at the angry woman who sat staring out into the baby blue skies that were accented by the golden rays of the sun. My annoyance quickly evaporated when her lips twitched forming a small smile when she spotted a bird dart across the warm sky. I found it intriguing how she could quickly forget about her life's problems focusing on something so small allowing it to bring her joy.

The truth is I lied when she asked me about our marriage the first time. I knew that I wanted her from the very first time I saw her but I also knew that she would've left once she found out the truth about who or what I was exactly. I lost enough in life and I finally found somebody that made me feel something other than anger. I was simply afraid of loosing her, terrified actually. Stepping over to where she sat propped up against the headboard of the bed I moved so I sat next to her. I didn't say anything and the fact that her faint smile was no longer on her face because of me was okay or at least I allowed myself to believe that.

"Look I know that at times I could be difficult to deal with and I'm sorry. I'm married to you because I wanted to Amora... I don't have feelings for Sara I never did. I don't care what my mother thinks but I'll assure you if she took the time to get to know the woman who hides behinds that shy smile and those dark brown eyes she'd grow to love you just as much as I do. I want you to be happy Amora and honestly I'm not quite sure how I need to do that but that doesn't mean that I won't try. You're mine and I'm yours and whatever happens I'll be at your side no matter what through hormonal tantrums and tears. I get that this is scary. It is for the both of us but no matter how scary it gets I promise I won't leave your side ." I said sincerely looking into her eyes that increased in size while I said what I felt?

"You don't love me William." She muttered pushing my body away from hers her eyes glossing over. I didn't realize that I used that word but clearly I thought it so did that mean I loved her? I didn't even think I was capable of loving anyone but with Amora everything was different.

"Maybe I do love you Amora. I don't know what it is but what I do know is that I feel something related to the stupid word  towards you okay." I explained a bit harsher than I expected.

"It wasn't a question William so don't speak to me as if I'm stupid." She said angrily which confused me. I pour the remainder of what is left of my heart out to her and she gets angry all over again?!?

"I don't get it." I muttered stressfully raking my fingers through my messy hair doing very little to hide how confused I was at the moment.

"Neither do I. Why confess that you feel something towards me when you're in love with somebody else?" She asked before climbing out of the bed and walking over to the bathroom as though nothing just happened. I would blame this on hormones but I had a feeling there was much more behind it.

"What are you talking  about Amora I told you on multiple occasions that I don't have feelings for Sara." I said anger and frustration coating my every word.

"I didn't say that it was Sara William." She muttered before stepping into the shower.

"Amora if you have something  to say to me just spit it out!" I barked causing her to turn to look at me through the translucent walls of the shower.

"Not that I'm giving into your little tantrum but I know that you love Ria whomever she is." She said proudly before turning back to face the stream of hot water that assaulted her body.

Amora's P.O.V

I don't know where I get all the courage to talk to William the way I do but now sitting where I am amidst the deafening silence I regretted everything I said. Clearly I hurt him not once but twice now it seeming to be a new found habit of mine. After I allowed the vile words that seemed to awaken pain he buried for quite sometime he just stood glued to the spot outside the shower for a while before leaving and locking himself in his office. He admitted that he loved me or something related to that feeling. A few weeks  ago that only seemed to be possible in a dream yet now that he admitted that he did it only made me restless emotionally.

I knew that I felt the same way towards him yet I couldn't get the fact that he confessed to loving someone else in his sleep and not to mention his engagement to another woman out of my mind. Everything about this man was complicated even his emotions. I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the way William's brain worked because it surly wasn't like any other human's I've ever met throughout my twenty three years on this earth. Today when I saw his features morph blatantly showing that my words hurt him I felt as though I stabbed myself with a knife. Even though my feelings towards that man who was now two doors down the desolate hallway were strong I already made a decision I didn't plan on going back on.

"Amora?" Dora asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Good morning Dora." I greeted smiling softy over at her.

"You need to eat something love even if it's a pretty late breakfast  you and William slept in most of the morning." She said winking at me which caused me to plaster a fake smile onto my face.

"I don't have much of a appetite I'm just going back to the  room I'm not feeling well. Thank you though I'll eat something later." I muttered before lazily standing from the couch and making my way down the hallway all the while I could feel Dora's worried gaze burning the skin of my back. Standing at the white door I mustered all my courage to knock on the wooden surface before pushing the heavy door open.

"What?" He asked roughly from where he sat in his office chair among the mess he created. Paper, books, pens and shattered glass creatively decorated his office floor instead of where they once sat neatly on his now clear desk with the exception of his computer. "Amora if your not going to say anything please leave." He muttered before turning so he faced the large window that occupied the entire wall behind his desk which allowed the golden rays of the sun to naturally light the room bringing warmth to its cold confines.

Tentatively walking across the room stopping so I stood directly in front of his seated form so I'd have his full attention I decided to say what I should've said in the first place.

"William I didn't mean to hurt you even though I didn't think that was possible. I guess you were right about me being scared because I'm terrified that you're going to hurt me. You say you love me or something related to that feeling as you put it but you confessed your love to somebody named...," I dragged out finding it hard to breathe.

"Ria?" He asked finishing my sentence for me but I couldn't speak through the crippling pain that shot through my body so I just settled for nodding my head weakly.

"Amora are you okay?" William asked looking at me oddly.

I wanted to respond but the tightening in my chest and the excruciating pain that hammered behind my cranium caused my vision to blur. Soon after my once sun shiny day turned into me aimlessly swimming in an eternity of blackness my body going limp crashing down to the ground with the help of gravity.
