Its been a few days, now it's the day of my wedding but I couldn't help but think what Eric was doing and what he wanted. As my maids were getting me dress is my wedding dress, I had this look of concern. My heart couldn't stop from what felt like it was going to come out of my chest. Everyone was loving the view of me in my wedding dress but I couldn't help that my mind was somewhere else.

"Arabella, my you look very beautiful today and not only will you be getting a husband but peace for both kingdoms," my father said.

"Would mother have agreed to this, I mean I would have thought she wanted me to be happy," I replied to my father.

My father walking towards me, getting ready to walk me down the aisle, it was harder on me because it felt like I was drowning and their was no one to save me. All I kept thinking about was Eric, where he was, why he wasn't here? As my father grabbed my arm I wasn't ready but I knew I had to be. I then began to walk out with my father and looked out to a crowd of people who I didn't know but were here for peace. I reached up to the end of the aisle where Prince Damien was standing there.

As I stood there waiting for the priest to finish the ceremony and I couldn't wait to finish this wedding thinking that I signed my life away. After the ceremony was finished we walked back down and I couldn't help but think that this wasn't suppose to be plan.

Prince Damien then turns to me and says, "Bella I know this isn't what you wanted but I hope maybe someday you can let me into your heart and know that I'm not one to harm you in anyway."

While I look at my new husband something told me that he was telling me the truth about what he said to me. While we walked to the dining hall to have the reception, there were hundreds of people in there waiting to meet the new Princess. In my stomach I felt like things were going to explode because the pressure from everyone was getting to me. Then of course unexpectedly Prince Damien grab my hand.

"I know when you need to breathe a bit. I get that way too. I'm sorry for all the people and the pressure. I didn't realized that my father invited so many people for this wedding. I'm sorry Ara. I hope it's okay to call you that," Prince Damien says as he makes a small smile towards me.

Looking at Prince Damien I couldn't help but think that isn't who he is. He seems kind and gentle, to actually care about those he loves. I wasn't sure what I was getting into but something in me made me think twice about Damien.

I smiled then looked out to the night sky, "I thought you were just wanting power and to just unite our kingdoms. I really wasn't sure about you because from what my father and your father told me about you made it seem like you were angry all the time and was just power hungry."

Prince Damien walked up to me, "I know we are married for the benefit of our kingdoms. Well I wanted to ask you about something if you would be okay with it?"

I began to worry and then felt a chill as soon as the breeze of the cold wind blew through, but as soon as I felt that breeze Prince Damien gave his jacket to me and put it over my shoulders. I looked up and saw those amazing green eyes that I never noticed before and with the right mood that just so happen to be setting it made me think that there could be something between Prince Damien and I.

"Your highness, you can go ahead and ask," I replied fixing the jacket.

After Prince Damien had put his jacket around me, he seemed very nervous to ask me what he wanted to asked. I got the feeling that he was going to confess his love or something like that.

"I know we are just husband and wife in the eyes of everyone but I want to make you feel comfortable. I won't do anything you don't want me to but I would love it if you give me a chance to win your heart. I know about you and Eric, but if you give me a chance you can be happy and not have to hide it from anyone. I know you began to feel something for me. Please," Prince Damien says with love in his eyes.
