Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 204 - Waking Up Together



After struggling fruitlessly, she gave up and she only pray that her assistant won't come looking for her early.

When they finally woke up, Rose did not want to stand up from the bed. It seemed like Liam's laziness was very contagious.

She remained on the bed until she heard a knock on the door which will definitely be from her assistant.

She struggled up after glancing at the digital clock to discover it was already eleven in the morning.

She picked her phone and called her assistant who kept knocking softly on the door periodically. "I will come down stairs when I am done dressing up."

"Yes, your highness," her assistant replied. "Do you need assistance?"

"No, I am fine," Rose replied firmly. She have always avoided letting the maids dress her up.

She had to endure it in the palace but as soon as she arrived in Star City, she made sure to stop it for her own comfort and privacy.

"Okay. What will you like to have for brunch?"

"I will like to eat anything veggie," she replied as she walked to her bathroom.

She took her bath to go outside so she won't raise any suspicion because she refused to come out of room for hours now.

She was picking cloth to wear for that day because she planned to meet with Eric and Carl when Liam joined her with a sleepy look on his face.

"When are you going to leave?" she asked him without turning to face him.

"Today. Eat your brunch here," he said as she felt his arms wrap her waist from behind and he kissed her neck.

"Why should I?" she asked displeased.

"Because I want to eat with you. Where are you going to?" he asked her as he slowly turned her to face him with his hands on her shoulders.

"I am going to meet my friend and my cousin," she replied naturally as she stared at his grey eyes.

"Oh . . ." he said taking a step back and scanned her from her hair down to her feet.

"Is it okay?" she asked him as she looked into his beautiful eyes that showed the admiration he felt towards her.

"You always look beautiful, perhaps too beautiful." He leaned down and kissed her pink glossy lips. "Hmm that tastes like vanilla," he said licking his lips and smiled.

"Thanks," she appreciated with a slight shade of pink tinting her cheeks.  She wondered why all this felt very natural and real. It felt like he was there for her and will always be there for her.

"You are welcome," he said as he scanned through the glass for a wrist watch for her to wear.

He pulled out a black leather wrist watch and helped her wear it.

"Thanks," she appreciated again enjoying the feeling of being taken care of with so much attention by someone who was not a staff in the palace.

"Stop telling me thanks over and over. I am supposed to do this for you. You are my wife," he said as he searched for some other accessory for her to wear.

Rose liked the sound of that but she tried not to take it to heart because she did not trust him well enough to feel lightheaded because of such sweet words.

They might be married but they both know very well how it all started and that makes it have a very indefinite end.

She could betray him later although that was the least of the things that bothers Liam or he could betray her which is the think that scares Rose most.

"Okay. I will let you take care of me well then," she said after much hesitation.

"You don't need to trust me. That is something I want you to remember although I wish you will. Just use me for your comfort whenever you want and I will never complain," he whispered when he walked close to her.

Her mind simply remembered that what he said sounded very familiar and she remembered not to fall for his words but with much hesitation, she concluded that she will simply use him just like he wants.

She was confortable in his presence and he saved her the stress of picking a wristwatch to wear. He helped her wear a pair of stud earrings.

She smiled at him after he helped her wear a silver thin necklace.

Liam captivated by the smile that lifted the corners of her sexy lips which she had to reapply lip gloss on because of the kiss he gave her earlier, could not resist the urge he felt to bend down and place a kiss on a corner of her lips.

He pulled back and smiled happily. "At least I did not ruin your lip gloss again," he said in satisfaction.

She could not help but chuckle softly. She met his grey eyes and became very curious of how his eyes got that color since his father's eyes were different.

"Your mum . . ." she began only to notice that he suddenly got tensed with the mention of his mother.

"Yes . . .?" he asked when she stopped as he removed his hands from her face which he cupped earlier to kiss her lips.

"Don't worry," she said waving her hand with an awkward smile.

"No, it is okay. I don't mind if you want to know more about me," he said with a smile that was clearly forced out to cover up the unsettling feeling he felt.

She noticed his smile was forced and looked down guiltily. "I  . . . you should not bother at all," she said biting her lower lip.

"Look at me," he said cupping her face in his hands and lifted her face to meet his gaze. He gave her a peck on her lips and looked into her hazel eyes. "Ask me anything you want. If I can't give you an answer, I will tell with the reason why I can't and if not, I will definitely give you an answer."

"It is nothing serious," she said stepping away. "I wanted to know who you got your grey eyes from," she told him as she turned to the mirror behind her to avoid his gaze.

"Oh . . . I was not born this way. My eyes are one of the reasons why my mum abandoned my brother and me," he said with a simple smile she could see through his reflection on the mirror.

"Oh . . ." Rose said looking down when her eyes met his eyes on the mirror. She never knew his mother abandoned them. She has never even thought of his mother at all.

"She and our step father left us on the roadside at night, that was when I found you," He said sincerely.

"How did you find me on a road at night?" Rose asked confused. she could not remember meeting anyone at night on any road side.

"We used to live with her alone. She said my father was a lover she feared. She said he always sent her money to take care of us but she was scared of me and that I reminded her of my father who she only got see four times in her life and he left her with kids two times out of the four times.

"She finally decided to run away from the claws of my father. She said my father made sure she had nothing to do with other men because of us. She made up her mind to run away to Y country with us. Afterwards, I think my father found her and she abandoned us when she was running away again.

"I don't know how much of what she said about my father was true but my father found us afterwards and he took us to A city," Liam narrated without much emotion in his voice as though he was talking about someone else's life.

Rose was speechless, she could not come up with the right thing to say that won't hurt him so, she simply remained quiet.

"I am okay. Then I did not care much about what happened because I had my hands full with taking care of you and my brother," he told her as he wrapped his arms around her body.

"How did you meet me in the middle of the night?" she asked when his statement reminded her that he claimed to save her life.

"I think that is a story for later. I am not even sure that you will believe me because you have lost your memory. You clearly don't remember a lot of things and you are making up false memories over some of the things you could not remember," he replied.

Hearing what he said, Rose removed his hands from her waist surprised that he did not even try to resist.

"I texted your assistant to bring  your meal over here," he said as he walked out of the walk-in closet knowing fully well that she was angry with him but he did not want to tell her now.
