Angela had my ball gown on display on the racks. She was showing them to me individually. We had finally settled on a silk and lace burgundy floor length gown. I went in for a shower. My bathtub had been filled with warm water and lathers a few rose petals. I smiled as I settled in. I looked at the flaming candle beside me, mesmerized by the burn as my thoughts consumed me.
"I'm a prince Bella, my duty lies with my kingdom" he told me, his green eyes darker than I had ever seen them.
"So you don't want to be happy?" I challenged
"Happiness is for fools, Bella" he said to me, sounding so much like his father. He had gotten to him Edward senior had one this one. The cold look in Edward's eyes told me so.
"What about me?" I asked. I had to know
"I don't want you anymore" he said his hands clenching
"What?"
"I don't want you, a commoner like you could never make a royal son happy" I could hear my heart breaking. I didn't bother to correct him that I wasn't a commoner; I was the Princess of Naples.
"What?" I asked again
"You heard me. I'm putting an end to this pretense; you were a fun distraction, nothing more"
"I hope you're happy your highness" I said before running out in the rain without a second glance.
"Principessa?" Angela called.
I realized I had been in the bath more than I had too. I quickly stood up and rinsed my body, with a towel around my neck, I stepped out. Angela and her crew helped me to get ready for the event. My hair successfully tucked in a flower braid, the crown was placed gently on my head.
Jasper escorted me to where by brother and our guests were waiting for introductions.
"sei un spettacolo per gli occhi" Emmett exclaimed covering his eyes like he was being blinded. *you are a sight for sore eyes*
I blushed "Affascinante come sempre" I kissed him on his cheek he gave me his goofy grin. *charming as always*
"Ready?" he asked
I looked at him as he squeezed my hand I nodded to him
"Prince Emmett and Princess Isabella of Savoy Principe e la Principessa di Napoli" the crier announced. I took a deep breath as we walked forward
