The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 60

Aqua held back a smile and Arma rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here?" Aqua asked. "Do you need me? I might not be the most help right not I'm feeling nauseous.

I shook my head. "I'm just bored." I noticed Stewart and Vella were working too. Vella was working in the garden while Stewart was leaning the benches. I guess the garden was a nice spot for a lot of people to work and hangout today. Even Cade was hanging out in the garden with Gray and Konn. Gray was sleep on Konn's lap. The Guards all looked pretty cheerful. There were other workers spread out in different sections gardening. It was a nice day, but it was hard to enjoy after what I did to Sadia.

Arma was concerned. "Aqua if you're not feeling well you don't have to help."

Aqua shook her head. "It's a weird feeling, I think it's a holder thing. I just feel like something really bad is going to happen, but I don't know what." I was worried about her but if I showed too much concern it'd be suspicious. I trusted Arma to comfort her for me.

I looked down at my phone to see that Sadia sent a message that she was on her way to get her things. I got up. "Now I'm not bored." I needed to get all her things together, so we didn't have to see each other for long.

"Where are you going?" Vella asked. "Your girlfriend is right there." She looked like she hadn't got much sleep last night. I looked over to Aqua who was kneeling over now and Arma was rubbing her back. Konn gave Gray who was still asleep to a Guard and walked over to Aqua.

"What are you talking about Vella? I don't have time for a story." I walked past her.

She grabbed my arm and I stopped. "I'm talking about Aqua. You ghosted me to sleep with her instead?" She whispered. That really wasn't the case because I regretted sleeping with Vella immediately after. It was just poor timing.

I sighed. "No Vella, I ghosted you because you were with my best friend. Nothing is going on with Aqua." I said at a low volume so no one would hear but Arma was staring at us.

Vella scoffed. "I saw you both by the hiking trail last night. I couldn't really hear you, but I could see you two clearly making out." She wasn't whispering anymore. "You and Aqua." She turned to Aqua. "You think you're lucky because you're sleeping with him? It's not going to last, someone else will come along."

She wanted to expose us, she said it loud enough for everyone in the garden to hear. Cade walked to us. "Vella, this has nothing to do with you."

Vella glared at Cade. "No, it does. It's his fault we're not together anymore."

I couldn't stop Sadia from hearing what Cade said next. "So, you had sex with my girlfriend and was so regretful you started sleeping with my sister? I kept trying to convince myself that you weren't a shit person for what you were doing to Sadia but it's clear to me you are because how you treat the two people you call your best friends. You're really one of the best liars and manipulates I know Lexus. You acted so concerned when me and Vella broke up." He looked at Arma. "I guess you're happy now, you were right, and I was wrong."

Arma looked down and frowned. "I didn't want to be right." She muttered.

Konn walked up behind Cade. "Cade-"

Cade cut him off. "No. There's nothing you or he can say. I quit; I'm not working anywhere near him. Tell the King and Queen that I'm sorry for not giving any notice." He looked at me one last time. "I defended you." He chuckled out of frustration. "You know I felt guilt just from the fact that I started to like Sadia even though you never felt anything for her? Meanwhile you were having sex with my girlfriend and my sister with no issue. You were raised by my father, I guess you're more like him than I am." He turned around and walked towards one of the castle entrances passing Sadia.

Sadia was staring at me and looked even more hurt than before. When we made eye contact, she turned away. I rushed to her before she tried to leave. "Sadia."

"Stop, just stop!" She yelled. "I'm leaving, I don't want my stuff anymore. You were really cheating on me the entire time we were together. And with my friends." She glared at Vella. "You disgust me." Vella's expression went from her being on the verge of breaking down to guilt.
