With his back to me is a man wearing a sweater I picked out this morning, William!!

---------------------

Unable to watch the video any further I pause it and throw the phone onto the table, as far away from me as possible. I wrap my arms around myself and try to keep myself from crying.

But after a few minutes the tears leak out and silently I sob into my hand.

"Ready to go?" A voice asks from the doorway.

I look up at William. "I'm not going anywhere with you."

"Cassy, what's wrong?" He asks.

"Paperwork? Really? I'd have been happier if you'd just told me that I wasn't good enough for you!" I scream.

"What the hell has gotten into you?" He asks, seeming shocked.

I stand up from my chair. "Don't act all innocent! You know exactly what I'm talking about."

"No I don't. But I would appreciate an explanation about what the fuck you're accusing me of!" He shouts back making me whimper.

Turning away I snatch up the phone from the table and play the video from where I paused it before thrusting the phone into his hand.

He frowns down at the screen and after some seconds looks up at me. "What does this prove?"

The question catches me off guard. "What does this prove?! It proves that you're cheating on me!"

"CASSANDRA!! STOP TALKING FUCKING NONSENSE!" He shouts.

The poor girl bringing in my sandwich at once turns around and leaves the room in a hurry, looking scared to death.

William shoves back the phone in my hands before storming out of the room.

I look down at the screen. The video ended so it's stopped at the last scene and it shows the man's face but the man I though to be William is not William!

It is someone wearing the same sweater as him but it's not William!

I start to freak out at once because I just accused William of something he never did. The accusation wasn't even something small. It was a major accusation and he seemed as if he'll never forgive me.

Terrified of what will happen next I slowly walk out of the dining room and to the reception where the door is being closed by a guard but someone shouts from the outside.

"Leave the door open!"

I turn to the guard next to the door. "Have you seen William?"

"Yes, your highness he just left." He replies.

"Left? What do you mean?" I ask, worried.

He opens his mouth to reply but quickly closes it and bows down in a curtesy. I look at the door to find the king walking in.

When he sees my tear stained face he walks over to me. "My dear, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Really." I reply rubbing my eyes to remove the redness that I know is there.

"Is it William? He just drove past me without an escort too!" He says making worry pang up inside me.

"Without an escort?" I gasp. I know that's so unlike him, he's always so careful about things like these.

"Did something happen between you two?" He asks.

I nod my head and Ronald pulls me into a hug. "William can be quite unthoughtful sometimes. How dare he treat his wife in such a manner that made you cry?"

I pull away from him shaking my head. "It wasn't him. I was the one acting stupid and started it, not him."

"Oh! Well don't worry William can be quite reckless once in a while." He tells me.

This reminds me of something.

William has the tendency of being more reckless than anyone can ever imagine him to be. His mother had said this in that dream. She said I'd know what she meant when the right came. And for some reason I knew that she meant this moment.

I turn back to his father. "You have to send someone after him."

He simply shakes his head. "There's no need for that. It seems perfectly normal that you two fought which by the way is healthy for relationships, he had to clear his head so he took off."

"But don't you find it a little strange that he went off without an escort? That's not like him and you of all people should know that!" I exclaim.

He sighs. "Really, darling there's no need to get so worked up about it."

"Yes there is! You don't understand! He'll do something that he'll later regret!" I cry out.

"Like what?" He questions.

"Are you really going to stand here and argue with me?" I ask him in disbelief.

"Of course I'll send someone after him if you say so." He says turning to the guard behind him and gives instructions. He leaves his post and heads out to obey the orders.

"If I must ask I really don't understand why you're so worried?" He asks, turning back towards me.

I wish I could explain to him the reason I'm so hysterical but for some reason I never told William so telling his father seems beyond impossible. So, I tell him something that is not a lie.

"I made a huge accusation against William, which isn't easily forgivable."

He sighs and says. "I'll go out to look for him myself."

This takes me by surprise. "That's not what I meant. I just meant that William was mad at me. That's all."

"But I'll still go. But promise me that you'll stop stressing yourself out. Please, for my son's sake. He wouldn't want you to hurt yourself or your children."

For the last few minutes I'd completely forgotten that I was pregnant. I take a deep breath and nod my head telling him that I'll be careful. A few minutes after he leaves the doors to the living room open and Helen steps in with Sarah right behind her.

"Helen! I thought you were off for the day." I say.

"I was supposed to be but the king wanted me to stay with you. Is there any particular reason behind that?" She asks.

I shake my head not wanting to share details with any more people. She helps Sarah settle on a couch before turning to me.

"I'm going to get her something to eat. Do you want anything?"

I shake my head again, unable to speak anymore because of the worry eating on my insides. I'd lost my appetite the moment I saw the video.

She sighs and crosses her arms. "Look, I know that the king went out after William, the guard on duty told me. And I get that you're worried about him but starving yourself is not going to help anyone so you might as well eat."

With this she leaves the room. Now I'm alone with Sarah who's sitting across from me playing with her doll.

Trying to rid myself of the worry, I ask her. "What's her name?" I point towards the doll.

"Princess Cassandra." She replies shyly.

This makes me smile and reduces the worry a notch. "That's a pretty name. I wonder where I've heard it before."

The teasing works and she laughs. "It's your name!"

"Oh! Right! I completely forgot." I say shaking my head making her smile widen.

Now the door opens and Helen walks in followed by Anna who's holding two plates.

"Hey!" She says cheerfully but when she sees he look on my face her smile fades. "What's wrong?"

When I don't say anything she turns to Helen for an explanation who explains the situation to her.

"She's worried about William because he left the palace without an escort." Well, that's one of the things I'm worried about.

Helen sits down next to her daughter and Anna sits down next to me after handing me the plate which is piled with fries.

I pick up one and take a small bite before putting the rest I my mouth and forcing myself to chew, constantly reminding myself. The babies need the food.

After a few fries I can't eat anymore making Sarah who's eaten her own ask if she can have mine. Gladly I hold out my plate. She jumps off the sofa and takes the plate from me.

I smile at her as she sits back down next to her mother. At the same time the door is throw open and a guard rushes in.

"We've found sir William."
