After their vacation in Palawan Philippines, they decided to go back to Denmark. She is going to stay there or lived there when they get married. Edmond had commands his people to fix their papers and passports and everything they needed. When they get back to the Palace, Edmond's parents are waiting for them on the great room. Isabel runs to them hugging Gia. She smiled a little and hugged her back.
They asked her of what she's feeling. They tell her how sorry they are on what happened. She just nods at them pursing her lips. Edmond told them that they are going to rest for a while. He took her to her room.
"My parents wanted us to get married as soon as possible." He explained. She just smiled a little. "You want to sleep?"
"Yes." She said.
"Okay, I will let you get settled and I will just wake you up when the dinner had served."
"Stay with me, please." She begs with those lonely eyes. He smiles removing his coat.
"Your wish is my command." He grins lopsidedly.
Gia take off her coat in fast movement and throw it to him. He caught it and giggles. He walk towards her pulling her waist up. She lowered her face to him kissing him on lips. He walks to the bed while he is carrying her and he dropped his body on the bed with her. He sat up removing her shoes, massaging her ankle and toes. She sighed.
"I am really going to sleep now." She told. He grins at her while massaging her feet.
"Sure, you can sleep." He said. There's silence for minutes and she speaks.
"Ed,"
"Hmm?" he glances at her who is staring at the ceiling.
"I want you to be loyal with me. Tell me everything I don't know about you."
"Like what?" he asked.
"I don't know, tell me your secrets."
"I had told you already, did I?" he asked crawling up to her. She shrugged. "I am loyal to you." he told her kissing her lips. She closed her eyes shoving her face on his chest.
"Tell me things that you haven't told me." She said.
He thinks about things he hasn't told her. He's not ready to tell her that he is sick. It might make her furious. It might make her worried that he will going to leave her. He is fighting but how can he tell her that he might die because of the tumor? She was already asleep on his chest. He kisses her forehead whispering how much he loved her.
After their family dinner, Gia and Edmond decided to go to the theatrical concert on the theatre. They had reserved two tickets dressing formal and everything. Mr. Neilsen assists them with four body guards. They get to the concert safely. Some people recognize them and some are not. They only seem a commoner couple on their simple formal outfit holding hands together until they get to their seats.
"Hey did you bring my phone?" she asked. He stopped and just looked at her. She rolled her eyes. "I told you to bring it, it's on the table." She hissed at him. He just laughs guiltily and makes a peace sign. "You are unbelievable." She said grumpily.
"C'mon honey, don't be so grumpy." He said putting his arms around her shoulder. "Mr. Neilsen can record the show." He said a little loud for Mr. Neilsen heard it. Mr. Neilsen glanced at the Prince who is sitting next to Gia. "Right, Mr. Neilsen?" he mouthed him to get his phone to record the show. She wants to record the show though it is prohibited.
"Of course, Sire." Mr. Neilsen assured pulling his phone from the pocket inside his suit.
"Whatever..." she murmurs to him. Edmond pinched her cheek. "Stop it, the show is about to start." She demands. Edmond just giggles kissing her cheek. They stopped when Lady Elaine appears greeting them.
"Good evening Prince Edmond, Princess Gia." Lady Elaine greets bowing a little. "Mr. Neilsen." Mr. Neilsen nods at her.
"Good evening." Edmond greets. Lady Elaine sat on the vacant chair beside Edmond. "Just right in time, the show is about to start." He told her. Elaine smiled.
"I am glad that I made it." She said gracefully with a flirty sound. Gia rolled her eyes and she prop her elbow on the arm of the chair leaning her cheek. Edmond looked at her. Her eyebrows are furrows and her lips are pouting. It was the cutest thing he ever saw.
"You are really cute though you are grumpy." He told her.
"Shut up, the show is about to start." She said coldly. Maybe it was because of Lady Elaine, she was jealous. She murmurs in straight Filipino that they don't understand. But Edmond know how to speak one, he didn't heard it clearly.
"What is it?" he asked. Gia looked at him and smile like Chester Cat.
"Wala ka na dun." She said coldly. Edmond flicks her forehead. She hissed at him.
"Nagseselos ka? Don't be, mahal kita." He told her in his accent. She just mocked his accent rolling her eyes. She is so childish that it is so cute. Elaine was intrigued on them. They watch the opera show while Edmond keeps on circling his index finger on her soft arm. She leans on his arm at her back and sighed. "Aren't you enjoying the show?" he asked.
"I am." She said coldly.
Edmond leans on his seat and watches the show. Elaine speaks to him in Danish sweetly and they giggle like they only know what they are speaking. Gia furrowed. She is not enjoying the show anymore. Why in hell Elaine is in the show and to be fact that she is sitting next to Edmond? And she knows how to speak in Danish.
She scratches her back and a warm sensation flows on her spine. Reina might be here too. She looked around and saw Lester and Reina watching the opera too, cuddling each other. She frowned at the two of them.
"What are you doing here Rein?" she whispered. Reina turn her head to her and waves. She shook her head and Lester winks at her. Gia show her fist to Lester.
"Oh, they are here too?" Edmond asked her smiling at the couple few blocks away.
"What do you think?" she mocks at him. Edmond just grinned on how she treated him coldly.
Edmond continued whispering with Elaine talking about the play. Gia removed Edmond's arm from her and leaned on her seat crossing her legs and arms. They even talk about when they are in high school practicing Romeo and Juliet where Elaine is Juliet and he is Romeo. Reina looked at her where their eyes met. She gave Gia sympathetic eyes. Reina smiles on how Gia pouts in jealousy. She is like five year old kid pouting when mad at her father. Mr. Neilsen glanced at her. He immediately looks away because she is like going to burn everything here.
"Ah, Mr. Neilsen, is there a powder room here?" she asked him.
"Certainly, Miss."
"Can you take me there?" she asked. The man nods at her. She stood taking her clutch. Edmond holds her hand to stop her. "What?" she asked in cool tune.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To ladies room, why? Are you coming?" she raise her eyebrow. He put his hand down.
"Two body guards will lead you there." He told. She just turns her back from him and excuses to the people while Mr. Neilsen is leading her there. Two body guards are at her back following them. Mr. Neilsen opens the door for her.
"Thank you." she enters there and face the mirror. She sighed and wanted to punch the mirror in front of her but a talkative girl interrupts.
"I saw Princess." The six year old girl told her mother. "She was pretty."
"Yes, you are pretty too." Her mother told. She smiled at them. The little girl gasped in shocked and shrieks. Even her mother was surprise to see Gia on the ladies room. "Princess." The woman bows.
"Oh, please no need to do that." She told the woman. She is not comfortable when someone is bowing on her like she is really a Princess. But she's the crown Princess after all.
"Princess!" the girl shrieks and runs to her to give her a hug. Gia giggles and hug the little girl too.
"Hi, sweetheart." She said. "What's your name?" she asked pushing the little girl to face her.
"I'm Arabella."
"Hi, I'm Gia Vitoria." She offers her hand for a hand shake. "How are you Arabella?" she asked the little girl. The girl smiles with her small teeth and she got a gap between her teeth in front. Gia though it was so adorable like she wanted to have a baby so cute and adorable like the girl.
"I am fine, thank you. Can I have a picture with you?" she asked nicely. "Mummy has a camera."
"Sure, no problem." Her mother smiled wide while fixing the camera. Gia pulls the little girl and carried her. Her mother took many shots of them while Gia is smiling. The little girl kissed her cheek and she put the girl down.
"I wanted to be like you, a princess." She told.
"Sure, everyone can be a Princess." Gia removed the expensive comb that fastens her hair into a messy braid. "Here," she gathered all the little girl's hair and stick the comb on her hair.
"Wow..." the little girl's eyes widens.
"There, you are a Princess now." She told her. The little girl clapped her hands in excitement. She turns to her mother who is happy and tearing in joy.
"Look, Mummy! I am a princess now!"
"You are always our Princess." Her mother told. She smiled at them. Her father and mother always say those to her when she was just little. "Thank you, your highness."
"Welcome." She smiles. "I must go now, the Prince might get worried." She told her but who cares if the Prince is worried of her? He is busy with his friend. She offers her hand for a hand shake. The woman took it shaking it. "Bye, Ara..." she waves at the little girl while walking outside with her clutch. The little girl waves back.
When she gets back to her seat, Edmond looked at her. Her hair is loose from her braid and her mood had changed.
"What took you so long?" he asked as she sat on her chair.
"I got traffic and I make out with someone." She mocks at him. Of course girls take their time in the bathroom or in front of the mirror. Edmond furrows and glanced at Mr. Neilsen.
"Did she?" he questioned. Mr. Neilsen shook his head nervously. Gia snorted and cross her legs. Edmond put his hand on her tight pressing it. She almost shriek and she elbows him on abdominal. "I am so turn on by you." he whispered huskily on her ear.
"If you are aroused don't fuck anyone here." she whispered back.
"I won't, only you." he said touching his lips on her earlobe. "I like your dirty words." He giggles.
After the show Gia confronted Reina and Lester who had come to them. They are so happy together like they can't resist each other. Gia feel happy on them but the curse is still blocking them from being happy.
"So when is the wedding?" Lester asked them.
"I don't know." She said coldly folding her arms.
"We are still planning about it. How about you guys?" he asked. Lester just shrugged.
"I am asking her everyday to marry me, but, nothing."
"It is hard to get married and be bounded." Reina told. Gia's head is aching and Reina had felt her too. "You should rest by now."
"Yes, we can talk tomorrow about it, Reina." Gia told her as if Reina knows what she meant.

Gia was playing on Psyche and Eros on the garden while Edmond is gone for a while. She had talk to Reina and Lester about some things. She was sitting on the grass while training the cats. Elaine approaches her and sat on the bench near to her.
"Hi," Elaine greets with those graceful smiles. Gia glanced at her.
"Hello," and she continue giving them treats and playing with them.
"So, did Edmond give those to you?" she asked.
"No, just this one." she said picking the kitten in pink ribbon. "And that other one is his." She said looking at her. She was pretty with those emerald eyes and look kind.
"You still don't know." Elaine said that makes her baffled. She put Psyche down and straightens her back.
"Don't know what?"
"How come that you accept his proposal and you didn't truly know him."
"What are you talking about, Elaine? Can you be more specific or else spit it out." She demands.
"Do you know where he is today?" she asked with those fake smiles.
"Yes, he's in the meeting."
"To be specific, he is in check up appointment."
Gia stopped. This is what she is afraid of. She knows everything about him though she is not quite sure of it all. She knows that he is sick but she is afraid of accepting it and hearing it from everybody.
"His highness had a tumor in his head." She blurted. Gia clenches her fist.
"Don't say it!" she yells at her. She knows that Edmond had a tumor. She knows and she's afraid of it, of losing him. "What do you from me Elaine?" she asked with those teary eyes. "You want this bullshit throne?" she stood facing her. Elaine was surprise on how she acted and so much affected. "I know that he had that thing in his head, and I am afraid on saying it."
"Why? If you love him, why are you still keeping things from him, like you know that he is sick but you make it hard for him to tell you his major problem?" She had high her tune.
"Can't you see it?" she asked her. "I am afraid of losing someone again, that's why I keep myself blind and deaf from it." She wanted to break things in the garden including Elaine. That's why she was pushing Edmond when he came to her room while she is breaking things. She kept saying to herself that he's going to leave her too and she had to move away from him. But her stupid heart and body wanted him to be on his side.
"What is the first thing you want why you accept his proposal? You barely know each other and—"
"Yes, that's true but what about you? As a friend of Edmond, do you know that he can turn back from what he is just to be with me? He wanted to risk everything just to love me? You don't understand that, and as a friend of him you should give him a reason to live. How can you claim yourself as a true friend to him that now you are stabbing his back, because of jealousy?" There she said it all to her. Elaine opens her mouth to speak but there's nothing that she can defend herself. "You are just like others. There's nothing good peculiar in you." Gia picks the kittens and marched away. She controls her tears, her teeth gritted and her eyebrows are mad.
She played the piano on the great room while waiting for Edmond to go out from the room where the doctors are checking up on him. She is playing it mad for two hours while the cats are playing each other under the piano table. The king is watching her playing for two hours and worried about her. It's like she's going to break the keys. She is wearing black leather suit and boots. When the doctors had finished checking him they all stop seeing her also her cousin Caroline. She knows what's up with her. Gia knows that Caroline is his doctor and Caroline become one of her material on stalking Edmond. She had known that Edmond had a tumor from Caroline.
She stopped from playing and Caroline walk to her. Gia's unmatched eyes are emotionless but she knows that she is suffering inside. She was worried on her. Gia stood when she saw Edmond come out from the room. He was surprise to see her but he was confused on what she is wearing.
"I will call, dad." Caroline told her. She just nods and Caroline walks away. Gia walk in front of the window. Edmond walks to her and was about to kiss her but she move away.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she said coldly.
"What?" he doesn't know on what she is talking about. She turns to face him.
"I told you to be loyal to me, but why are you still hiding it from me?" she had high her tune.
He looks sad and scared. He was guilty.
"Gia," he holds her hands and pulls her closer to him.
"You're not going to leave me, too."
"I am not." He assured her kissing her forehead. "I love you and I am fighting for it." She pulls her hands and she stepped back.
"I knew it all, all this time. But I am afraid of it." She walks away and Edmond runs to her.
"Gia! Where are you going?!" he hugged her from back. "Don't leave me." He kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry, I have to go. I have something to do." She resists from his hug and she walks away. Edmond tried to convince her not to leave but she hopped in the car leaving him while tears are flowing from her eyes. His father stopped him from catching her.
"No, let me go." He resists from him and calls for the car.
"Let her go, Edmond!" his father demands. Edmond stopped and faces his father with piercing eyes. "She will come back son." He assured him.
"What if she doesn't? I better die than losing her." A tear falls from his eye.

"Let her go, Edmond!" his father demands. Edmond stopped and faces his father with piercing eyes. "She will come back son." He assured him.
"What if she doesn't? I better die than losing her." A tear falls from his eye.
After their vacation in Palawan Philippines, they decided to go back to Denmark. She is going to stay there or lived there when they get married. Edmond had commands his people to fix their papers and passports and everything they needed. When they get back to the Palace, Edmond's parents are waiting for them on the great room. Isabel runs to them hugging Gia. She smiled a little and hugged her back.They asked her of what she's feeling. They tell her how sorry they are on what happened. She just nods at them pursing her lips. Edmond told them that they are going to rest for a while. He took her to her room."My parents wanted us to get married as soon as possible." He explained. She just smiled a little. "You want to sleep?""Yes." She said."Okay, I will let you get settled and I will just wake you up when the dinner had served.""Stay with me, please." She begs with those lonely eyes. He smiles removing his coat."Your wish is my command." He grins lopsidedly.Gia take off her coat in fast movement and throw it to him. He caught it and giggles. He walk towards her pulling her waist up. She lowered her face to him kissing him on lips. He walks to the bed while he is carrying her and he dropped his body on the bed with her. He sat up removing her shoes, massaging her ankle and toes. She sighed."I am really going to sleep now." She told. He grins at her while massaging her feet."Sure, you can sleep." He said. There's silence for minutes and she speaks."Ed,""Hmm?" he glances at her who is staring at the ceiling."I want you to be loyal with me. Tell me everything I don't know about you.""Like what?" he asked."I don't know, tell me your secrets.""I had told you already, did I?" he asked crawling up to her. She shrugged. "I am loyal to you." he told her kissing her lips. She closed her eyes shoving her face on his chest."Tell me things that you haven't told me." She said.He thinks about things he hasn't told her. He's not ready to tell her that he is sick. It might make her furious. It might make her worried that he will going to leave her. He is fighting but how can he tell her that he might die because of the tumor? She was already asleep on his chest. He kisses her forehead whispering how much he loved her.After their family dinner, Gia and Edmond decided to go to the theatrical concert on the theatre. They had reserved two tickets dressing formal and everything. Mr. Neilsen assists them with four body guards. They get to the concert safely. Some people recognize them and some are not. They only seem a commoner couple on their simple formal outfit holding hands together until they get to their seats."Hey did you bring my phone?" she asked. He stopped and just looked at her. She rolled her eyes. "I told you to bring it, it's on the table." She hissed at him. He just laughs guiltily and makes a peace sign. "You are unbelievable." She said grumpily."C'mon honey, don't be so grumpy." He said putting his arms around her shoulder. "Mr. Neilsen can record the show." He said a little loud for Mr. Neilsen heard it. Mr. Neilsen glanced at the Prince who is sitting next to Gia. "Right, Mr. Neilsen?" he mouthed him to get his phone to record the show. She wants to record the show though it is prohibited."Of course, Sire." Mr. Neilsen assured pulling his phone from the pocket inside his suit."Whatever..." she murmurs to him. Edmond pinched her cheek. "Stop it, the show is about to start." She demands. Edmond just giggles kissing her cheek. They stopped when Lady Elaine appears greeting them."Good evening Prince Edmond, Princess Gia." Lady Elaine greets bowing a little. "Mr. Neilsen." Mr. Neilsen nods at her."Good evening." Edmond greets. Lady Elaine sat on the vacant chair beside Edmond. "Just right in time, the show is about to start." He told her. Elaine smiled."I am glad that I made it." She said gracefully with a flirty sound. Gia rolled her eyes and she prop her elbow on the arm of the chair leaning her cheek. Edmond looked at her. Her eyebrows are furrows and her lips are pouting. It was the cutest thing he ever saw."You are really cute though you are grumpy." He told her."Shut up, the show is about to start." She said coldly. Maybe it was because of Lady Elaine, she was jealous. She murmurs in straight Filipino that they don't understand. But Edmond know how to speak one, he didn't heard it clearly."What is it?" he asked. Gia looked at him and smile like Chester Cat."Wala ka na dun." She said coldly. Edmond flicks her forehead. She hissed at him."Nagseselos ka? Don't be, mahal kita." He told her in his accent. She just mocked his accent rolling her eyes. She is so childish that it is so cute. Elaine was intrigued on them. They watch the opera show while Edmond keeps on circling his index finger on her soft arm. She leans on his arm at her back and sighed. "Aren't you enjoying the show?" he asked."I am." She said coldly.Edmond leans on his seat and watches the show. Elaine speaks to him in Danish sweetly and they giggle like they only know what they are speaking. Gia furrowed. She is not enjoying the show anymore. Why in hell Elaine is in the show and to be fact that she is sitting next to Edmond? And she knows how to speak in Danish.She scratches her back and a warm sensation flows on her spine. Reina might be here too. She looked around and saw Lester and Reina watching the opera too, cuddling each other. She frowned at the two of them."What are you doing here Rein?" she whispered. Reina turn her head to her and waves. She shook her head and Lester winks at her. Gia show her fist to Lester."Oh, they are here too?" Edmond asked her smiling at the couple few blocks away."What do you think?" she mocks at him. Edmond just grinned on how she treated him coldly.Edmond continued whispering with Elaine talking about the play. Gia removed Edmond's arm from her and leaned on her seat crossing her legs and arms. They even talk about when they are in high school practicing Romeo and Juliet where Elaine is Juliet and he is Romeo. Reina looked at her where their eyes met. She gave Gia sympathetic eyes. Reina smiles on how Gia pouts in jealousy. She is like five year old kid pouting when mad at her father. Mr. Neilsen glanced at her. He immediately looks away because she is like going to burn everything here."Ah, Mr. Neilsen, is there a powder room here?" she asked him."Certainly, Miss.""Can you take me there?" she asked. The man nods at her. She stood taking her clutch. Edmond holds her hand to stop her. "What?" she asked in cool tune."Where are you going?" he asked."To ladies room, why? Are you coming?" she raise her eyebrow. He put his hand down."Two body guards will lead you there." He told. She just turns her back from him and excuses to the people while Mr. Neilsen is leading her there. Two body guards are at her back following them. Mr. Neilsen opens the door for her."Thank you." she enters there and face the mirror. She sighed and wanted to punch the mirror in front of her but a talkative girl interrupts."I saw Princess." The six year old girl told her mother. "She was pretty.""Yes, you are pretty too." Her mother told. She smiled at them. The little girl gasped in shocked and shrieks. Even her mother was surprise to see Gia on the ladies room. "Princess." The woman bows."Oh, please no need to do that." She told the woman. She is not comfortable when someone is bowing on her like she is really a Princess. But she's the crown Princess after all."Princess!" the girl shrieks and runs to her to give her a hug. Gia giggles and hug the little girl too."Hi, sweetheart." She said. "What's your name?" she asked pushing the little girl to face her."I'm Arabella.""Hi, I'm Gia Vitoria." She offers her hand for a hand shake. "How are you Arabella?" she asked the little girl. The girl smiles with her small teeth and she got a gap between her teeth in front. Gia though it was so adorable like she wanted to have a baby so cute and adorable like the girl."I am fine, thank you. Can I have a picture with you?" she asked nicely. "Mummy has a camera.""Sure, no problem." Her mother smiled wide while fixing the camera. Gia pulls the little girl and carried her. Her mother took many shots of them while Gia is smiling. The little girl kissed her cheek and she put the girl down."I wanted to be like you, a princess." She told."Sure, everyone can be a Princess." Gia removed the expensive comb that fastens her hair into a messy braid. "Here," she gathered all the little girl's hair and stick the comb on her hair."Wow..." the little girl's eyes widens."There, you are a Princess now." She told her. The little girl clapped her hands in excitement. She turns to her mother who is happy and tearing in joy."Look, Mummy! I am a princess now!""You are always our Princess." Her mother told. She smiled at them. Her father and mother always say those to her when she was just little. "Thank you, your highness.""Welcome." She smiles. "I must go now, the Prince might get worried." She told her but who cares if the Prince is worried of her? He is busy with his friend. She offers her hand for a hand shake. The woman took it shaking it. "Bye, Ara..." she waves at the little girl while walking outside with her clutch. The little girl waves back.When she gets back to her seat, Edmond looked at her. Her hair is loose from her braid and her mood had changed."What took you so long?" he asked as she sat on her chair."I got traffic and I make out with someone." She mocks at him. Of course girls take their time in the bathroom or in front of the mirror. Edmond furrows and glanced at Mr. Neilsen."Did she?" he questioned. Mr. Neilsen shook his head nervously. Gia snorted and cross her legs. Edmond put his hand on her tight pressing it. She almost shriek and she elbows him on abdominal. "I am so turn on by you." he whispered huskily on her ear."If you are aroused don't fuck anyone here." she whispered back."I won't, only you." he said touching his lips on her earlobe. "I like your dirty words." He giggles.After the show Gia confronted Reina and Lester who had come to them. They are so happy together like they can't resist each other. Gia feel happy on them but the curse is still blocking them from being happy."So when is the wedding?" Lester asked them."I don't know." She said coldly folding her arms."We are still planning about it. How about you guys?" he asked. Lester just shrugged."I am asking her everyday to marry me, but, nothing.""It is hard to get married and be bounded." Reina told. Gia's head is aching and Reina had felt her too. "You should rest by now.""Yes, we can talk tomorrow about it, Reina." Gia told her as if Reina knows what she meant.****Gia was playing on Psyche and Eros on the garden while Edmond is gone for a while. She had talk to Reina and Lester about some things. She was sitting on the grass while training the cats. Elaine approaches her and sat on the bench near to her."Hi," Elaine greets with those graceful smiles. Gia glanced at her."Hello," and she continue giving them treats and playing with them."So, did Edmond give those to you?" she asked."No, just this one." she said picking the kitten in pink ribbon. "And that other one is his." She said looking at her. She was pretty with those emerald eyes and look kind."You still don't know." Elaine said that makes her baffled. She put Psyche down and straightens her back."Don't know what?""How come that you accept his proposal and you didn't truly know him.""What are you talking about, Elaine? Can you be more specific or else spit it out." She demands."Do you know where he is today?" she asked with those fake smiles."Yes, he's in the meeting.""To be specific, he is in check up appointment."Gia stopped. This is what she is afraid of. She knows everything about him though she is not quite sure of it all. She knows that he is sick but she is afraid of accepting it and hearing it from everybody."His highness had a tumor in his head." She blurted. Gia clenches her fist."Don't say it!" she yells at her. She knows that Edmond had a tumor. She knows and she's afraid of it, of losing him. "What do you from me Elaine?" she asked with those teary eyes. "You want this bullshit throne?" she stood facing her. Elaine was surprise on how she acted and so much affected. "I know that he had that thing in his head, and I am afraid on saying it.""Why? If you love him, why are you still keeping things from him, like you know that he is sick but you make it hard for him to tell you his major problem?" She had high her tune."Can't you see it?" she asked her. "I am afraid of losing someone again, that's why I keep myself blind and deaf from it." She wanted to break things in the garden including Elaine. That's why she was pushing Edmond when he came to her room while she is breaking things. She kept saying to herself that he's going to leave her too and she had to move away from him. But her stupid heart and body wanted him to be on his side."What is the first thing you want why you accept his proposal? You barely know each other and""Yes, that's true but what about you? As a friend of Edmond, do you know that he can turn back from what he is just to be with me? He wanted to risk everything just to love me? You don't understand that, and as a friend of him you should give him a reason to live. How can you claim yourself as a true friend to him that now you are stabbing his back, because of jealousy?" There she said it all to her. Elaine opens her mouth to speak but there's nothing that she can defend herself. "You are just like others. There's nothing good peculiar in you." Gia picks the kittens and marched away. She controls her tears, her teeth gritted and her eyebrows are mad.She played the piano on the great room while waiting for Edmond to go out from the room where the doctors are checking up on him. She is playing it mad for two hours while the cats are playing each other under the piano table. The king is watching her playing for two hours and worried about her. It's like she's going to break the keys. She is wearing black leather suit and boots. When the doctors had finished checking him they all stop seeing her also her cousin Caroline. She knows what's up with her. Gia knows that Caroline is his doctor and Caroline become one of her material on stalking Edmond. She had known that Edmond had a tumor from Caroline.She stopped from playing and Caroline walk to her. Gia's unmatched eyes are emotionless but she knows that she is suffering inside. She was worried on her. Gia stood when she saw Edmond come out from the room. He was surprise to see her but he was confused on what she is wearing."I will call, dad." Caroline told her. She just nods and Caroline walks away. Gia walk in front of the window. Edmond walks to her and was about to kiss her but she move away."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she said coldly."What?" he doesn't know on what she is talking about. She turns to face him."I told you to be loyal to me, but why are you still hiding it from me?" she had high her tune.He looks sad and scared. He was guilty."Gia," he holds her hands and pulls her closer to him."You're not going to leave me, too.""I am not." He assured her kissing her forehead. "I love you and I am fighting for it." She pulls her hands and she stepped back."I knew it all, all this time. But I am afraid of it." She walks away and Edmond runs to her."Gia! Where are you going?!" he hugged her from back. "Don't leave me." He kissed her cheek."I'm sorry, I have to go. I have something to do." She resists from his hug and she walks away. Edmond tried to convince her not to leave but she hopped in the car leaving him while tears are flowing from her eyes. His father stopped him from catching her."No, let me go." He resists from him and calls for the car."Let her go, Edmond!" his father demands. Edmond stopped and faces his father with piercing eyes. "She will come back son." He assured him."What if she doesn't? I better die than losing her." A tear falls from his eye.
