"Oh, No! The dress has torn" Hailey mumbled with trembling hands.
She had just helped Bella up.
"Are you okay my daughter" the queen asked with much concern in her eyes.
Liam sighed and walked towards Bella.
"I think the dress is too tight. Why did you have to choose something like this?" He asked.
"Wait, you oven over did your makeup" He added. All eyes fall on him.
"Son, are you sure you are not sick upstairs?" The king asked.
"What do you mean dad?" He asked.
"Anyways, come on, let's go and change" he took Bella's hand.
"And why are you still standing there, won't you help her change?" Liam said shooting Hailey deadly glares.
"I am sorry my prince" Hailey mumbles.
She followed behind Liam who was leading Bella who kept staring at his face upstairs.
Liam opened the door to his room and guarded Bella to his bed.
"Get me her dress" Liam said to Hailey.
Hailey rushed out of the room.
"Are you okay? Did you sprain your knees?" He asked checking her out.
"I am fine" Bella said.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Liam asked.
"No, its just that you are being strange today"
"Am being strange? How?"
Bella looked at Liam's lips, he lean forward but Liam looked away.
Bella's face dropped.
"Why? Are you still not comfortable to make out with me?" Bella's voice cracked.
"Its not that. Just that there is a lot on my mind lately" Liam faceplamed himself.
Hailey walked back into the room with the dress Bella worn when she was coming to the palace.
Bella stood up from the bed.
"Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom" Bella said.
She said walking towards the door.
"Where are you going? This room has a soundproof toilet too" Liam said.
"I prefer going downstairs" Bella's said.
She walked out of the room. Hailey dropped the dress on the bed and made to run to Bella but a hand grabbed her wrist.
"My… Prince" her voice come out like a blocken record.
She bowed her head.
' you have to find out if you have feelings for her' A voice echoed in his head.
He took a step closer to Hailey.
"Raise your head" he said.
"But…"
"Are you disobeying a royal command?"
His words sent a chill down Hailey's spine.
Her whole body had already begun shaking. She slowly raised her head and her eyes met with Liam's on. He was looking at her in a way she could not explain.
Her heart begun beating fast, so was Liam's own.
His raised his right hand and his finger caresses her forehead, then her nose down to her lips.
That very moment Hailey gasped and froze her eyes quickly shut.
Unconscious, Liam learned forward his lips drawing closer to Hailey's lips. Hailey felt a warm breath on her face, she opened her eyes only to see Liam's lips an inch apart from her own.
She snatched her hand from Liam's grip and pushed him. That very moment, the door bust open. Liam staggered and fell to the ground. Almost hitting her head to the bed.
"Liam!" Bella called rushing to him.
Hailey just stood there with her lip pouted.
"Its nothing. I just missed my step" Liam said getting back on his feet.
Liam looked at Hailey whose eyes were buried to the ground as if she were searching for a lost needle in a vast desert.
He swallowed hard.
"I will excuse myself" Liam said.
He gave Hailey one last glance before walking out of the room.
"That's odd. Hailey, help me change the dress" Bella said.
"Hailey!" Bella yelled.
Hailey raises her head.
"Sorry my princess"
She rushed to the bed and took the dress.
"Allow me" She said reaching for Bella's zip.
…
Liam slammed the door behind him. As soon as he entered the room, he went straight to the wall and give it a hard bunch, his bones cracked.
"Ouch" he winced in pain.
He looked at his hand then facepalmed himself.
"No. This has to be a joke." He muttered to himself.
"I can never love another girl. Its just petty lust. How can I look at another girl. My heart can only beat for one girl. And why is this heart misbehaving?" He said in frustration.
'You love her Liam. You can't ignore your feelings '
"No! I was just hallucinating. I just saw Rania in her. If she really Is Rania, she would never dare set a foot in this palace again. For all these years, why will she ven show up now?"
Liam sat on his bed and took a deep breath.
"Stop it Liam. You are over thinking"
He shut his eyes and lay on the bed.
A soft know interrupted him.
"Who is it?" He answered.
"Princess Bella is waiting for you" A maid said.
"Oops"
He had already forgotten that they had planned to eat out.
Liam stepped out of the the room and met Bella waiting for her, he looked at Hailey who stood beside Bella, and she quickly looked away when her eyes met with his.
"Let's go" he said.
Bella rushed to him and tangled her hand with his. Hailey followed behind.
From the stairs, Tim stood watching Liam walk out of the house. The edge of his lip curled.
"The look in Liam's eyes is giving me hope that very soon I might take over his position as the crown prince of Harmony kingdom." He said.
"Are you talking to me prince Timothy?" A maid said.
She heard him murmering to himself as she was passing by.
Timothy turned and faced the maid who stood before him with her head bowed.
He looked at her from head to toes, the he shake his head negatively.
"Go into my room and bring me my wallet" He said.
"Okay my prince" the maid replied.
The maid disappeared into the corridor. Tim dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his wallet.
"I guess its time to have a snack" He said putting his wallet back into his pocket
