The Secret - Chapter 3

I couldn't sleep that night. At 11 o'clock I decided to leave Robert's castle. I made my way down the hallway to Robert's door. I knocked on it gently.

One of Robert's servants opened it. "Yes?"

"May I see to Robert please?"

"I'm sorry miss. Master Robert is not feeling well. He needs to rest."

"That's okay. This can wait." I was disappointed.

The door closed.

"Why do you need to see Robert?" A voice came from behind me.

I gasped and turned around. No one was there, and then Kai walked by the corner.

"Answer me." He repeated.

"I.. I just need a ride back to France." I tied to make no eye contact with him.

"I don't know what's going on in your head. I felt like I knew you before, but now you're just some stranger." He said.

I felt bad, I knew that I should've come clean about me before. "It's all for the best. This way no one gets hurt."

"That's what you wrote in your poem."

The poem?! That was a shock to me. I remembered when I wrote the poem, it was the worst night of my life. "It was true."

"What's the big deal keeping all this a big secret?"

"Like I told you, it's all for the best. You shouldn't know, nobody should know." I raised my voice.

"Then how come Robert knows?"

"I don't know how he knows." It was the truth and everything I said was true.

"How long are you planning to keep this to yourself? Because I will find out very soon." He made sure of that.

"You know what? Let's just hope that NEVER ever happens." I walked pass him and gave him a stare hard in the eyes.

The next morning.... I woke up at 9 o'clock and made my way down to the dining room for some breakfast. Tyson, Max, and Kenny were already there eating, obviously.

"Hey Kel! Joining us for breakfast?" Tyson talked with his mouth full of food.

"Uh... sure." I had nothing to do anyways.

"Great!"

We all sat there eating cheerfully. No one mentioned about my past. No one even cared. This was what I always wanted. No questions, just pure conversation.

A while later, the Majestics walked in. "I see everyone is up." Robert said.

"Hiya Robert. Breakfast?" Tyson asked.

"No thank you Tyson. We're fine." Robert refused then said, "May I talk to you for a second, Kelly?"

"Sure." I knew this was going to come up.

He led me to a small sitting room. He sat down and said, "Listen, I don't want to make this any harder than it already is."

"So, you'll let me go?"

"No, not yet. I want you to reconsider. Please. Just come clean."

I looked down, and I knew I wasn't ready for it, "No, at least not yet. Please give me time to think this through. Please let me go."

Surprisingly he said, "Alright. I can arrange a flight for you back to France right now."

"Thank you so much Robert. I will call you when I'm ready." I smiled.

A knock was heard from the door.

Tyson walked in and said, "Hey Robert, we gotta go, so like can you give us a ride?"

"Sure, Kelly here is going as well."

By the afternoon, we all aboard Robert's private flight. I stayed quiet for the entire trip back. Then when we arrived, Tyson asked, "Kel, where are you staying in France?"

"I'm actually at my friend's house."

"Oh, we're at the Le Chateau hotel, so come visit sometimes."

I smiled and nodded.
