Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Imogen's POV

I cannot believe I am late for my doctor's appointment again, this is the second time this year. She is not going to be happy.

I hope she has not given another person my place.

"Princess Imogen, please wait. Your gynecologist will be here with you shortly" a nurse informed me.

"Thank you," I replied.

I heaved a sigh of relief, resting my hands on my knees, while I tapped my fingers. It was just a few minutes, but it felt like an entire year had run by.

My legs felt all wobbly, I couldn't get myself to stay in a place.

I stood up from my chair and walked around a bit.

I passed by a private room when I saw Heaven smiling at Zamiel.

What the heck? What happened to him?. Or her rather, because she was the one lying on the hospital bed.

"Please promise me that you will not stay outside in the cold again" Zamy begged her.

"Okay," she forced a smile on her face. I hope she hasn't told him that I was the one who gave orders for her not to enter the castle.

Because if she does that, Zamy is not going to spare me. I don't think she has, because he would have called me by now, maybe she hasn't found out that I am responsible.

"Hmm" I heard him reply, and moved away really quickly. Thankfully he didn't see me, but why was I even hiding in the first place?

And that b*tch just doesn't want to leave my brother alone. I wish I could just k*ll her, so I will never have to see her face or hear from her ever again. My life would be so much better and fun filled without her.

A smirk crawled up on my face, I had thought of something. It was a bit devious, and my chances of pulling it off were quite low. But, I intended to go for it anyway.

"Wait!" I pulled a doctor that was about to enter the room.

"Can I help you?" He asked me, more like he was shocked.

I would be shocked too if I were him. I only realized that I had been too scary, when I had pulled him too close. But, what the heck? Who cares?

"Are you her doctor?" I pointed towards Heaven's room.

"Yes, do you know her? Or are you related to her in any way?" The doctor looked at me suspiciously.

"No, but I have a really good offer for you. That is,if you are willing to take it '' I looked at him, and I saw that I had managed to get his attention.

"If you can just…" I paused and signaled for him to come closer.

"K*ll her for me" I whispered in his ears, and he stumbled backwards.

"What?!. I can never…mhm, mmm" I covered his mouth and stopped him from saying anything else. I didn't want him to draw attention to us, or even worse, let people, or Zamy hear us.

"I'll give you two hundred thousand dollars if you do it. It's just a small task. All you have to do is give her an injection or something" I whispered.

I saw that he was having an inner battle within.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, I will pay you that much. I know it can go a very long way for you" I added more pressure on him, by increasing the amount. At that point, he didn't even want to think about it any longer.

I smiled at myself. To me, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a small amount, but to him. It is quite huge, I know he will surely agree.

"Okay fine, I will do it. But, tell me, why do you want her dead?" He was beginning to ask me silly questions, and I wasn't a fan of too many questions.

"That has nothing to do with you. All I want is for you to give her an injection. That will make her sleep forever" I smirked.

"And then, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be all yours" I whispered in his ears.

"Do it within five hours. When I confirm that you have done a good job, then I will send you the money. I will send you everything, I don't do half payments" I spoke and walked away from him.

I didn't want people to see us together for too long, I didn't want to raise any kind of suspicion

Kayden's POV

I couldn't explain the uneasy feeling I was having. What exactly was wrong with me?

I picked up my phone to call Heaven, but I couldn't bring myself to put the call through. What was she going to say to me? How would she react to hearing my voice? There were just too many questions in my mind.

"Now, you are refusing to eat. Is the food that bad?" Elora asked me, and when I remembered that I was at the dining table having my breakfast, or at least, that was what I was trying to do.

But, the thoughts of Heaven just didn't let me do anything straight.

"Of course not, I just got carried away. The food is delicious…" I blew an air k*ss towards the direction of my food.

She giggled and looked at me.

"Perhaps you are thinking about your wife?" She took a random guess. And damn! Her guessing abilities were good.

"It's not like that, it's just I left without telling her anything" I tried to explain to her. I wasn't so cold-hearted, but what could I do?

"You have never told anyone where you were going, each time you came to see me" she gulped down her cup of tea.

"Yes, but things are different now. I…." I wanted to keep talking, but the look on her face made me shut up. She was the only one that knew how to make me dance to her tunes no matter what.

"You love her, don't you?" She seemed very sad, as if Heaven had taken a huge part of her away from her. I don't know how I was supposed to make her understand. She means the whole world to me, nothing and no one can change that fact.

"You are the only one I love" I stood up from my chair, and walked up to her. Massaging her shoulders.

"I used to be the only one you cared about too, until now" her voice was cracking.

"And you still are, just Heaven isn't doing too well" I licked my lips, and lifted her from the chair

"So her name is Heaven?" She pinched my cheek.

"Yes, her name is Heaven" I smiled, I had never noticed how beautiful her name sounded before now. And hearing Elora say it, just made it more beautiful.

"Is she beautiful?" Elora asked, the way she got jealous so quickly made me chuckle.

"She is.. and, honestly I think she is amongst the most beautiful women out there" I enjoyed teasing her and making her more jealous.

"I see," she said.

"But, you are the most beautiful woman out there" I pinched her cheek, and dropped her down.

"Are you sure, or are you just telling me this so I can feel better? It's okay if you love her more than me" she pressed her lips.

Hearing Elora say all this made me want to laugh. She gets jealous even when I compliment flowers, and she is expecting me to believe that she won't get jealous, if I tell her I love anyone more than her.

"I am very sure. Plus, I don't love anyone, the way I love you" I blew her a k*ss, as I had already walked some distance away from her.

I needed to go into the library, maybe reading some books will help my mind calm down a bit.
