Ben needed some air. This whole situation was stressing him out. He grabbed Adrianna's stroller and took her on a walk. Ella would be in serious trouble for this but he needed to fix up her mess first. He hadn't seen her in days. He guessed she was hiding from him.

" Hi Ben " Ben was distracted from his thoughts from a voice he knew all too well.

" Mal. Its nice to see you "

Mal's eye caught the attention of the baby in the stroller. The little baby had Ben's eyes. She had dirty blonde hair. She had Mal's nose and her smile. Which was his favourite thing about her

" Who's this? "

Ben hesitated. What do you say to someone with no memory of their past.

" My daughter "

Ben lifted her out of her stroller. She was wide awake.

" She's beautiful, Ben " Ben handed the baby to her. Maybe it could work. It had worked once before who's to say it can't work again.

" I didn't know you and Ella had a child together " Mal sighed with a bit of heartache present in her voice.

" We don't. She's not Ella's " Ben corrected her

" oh " Mal said " She's Audrey's? "

" No " Ben shook his head

" Just my lost lovers " Ben sighed

" I'm so sorry "

" RACHEL!! SPENCER " Ella yelled full of anger in her voice

" Yes, ma'am " Rachel said not paying full attention. She was redoing her makeup.

" Drop everything!! Ben's gone. He left me. This wasn't meant to happen. It's all because of that bitch " Ella whined

" Wait, how? That's...impossible "

* flashback *

" Ben... Ben... Honey...no " Ella was walking endlessly around the castle looking for her fiance. Where could he have possibly gone at this hour of the night? Ella saw a light at the end of the hallway.

' No, No , No ' Ella repeatedly thought to herselfElla ran to the door and there she found him." Ben, there you are. I was worried sick about you! " Ella exclaimed" No you weren't. I know what you've done. Where's my daughter?? " Ben said in an angry, harsh tone." Honey, you're feeling unwell. Let's go away back to bed " Ella touched his arm and Ben pushed her away from him." WHERE IS SHE? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS ? " Ben demanded and yelled" I have no idea what your talking about " Ella crossed her arms and kept her firm expression." You " Ben pointed at her " You... caused all of this... we lost our memories because of you... you made Spencer steal my wife from me and you stole me from her... all for what? The crown. Is this what this is about? You can have the crown for all I care. I'd rather lose the crown than lose Mal and my family "Ella was stood there in shock. This couldn't be happening. Ben remembers. She feared that Mal remembers too and if so than it is game over for her." Ben, I love you. I can't stand watching you be with you. She's a villain. That's all she will ever be. She trapped you with that offspring so she will be queen and one day who knows when, the whole kingdom will suffer because of her "Ben looked appalled at her. He couldn't believe the words coming from her." I want to ask... who's the villain here? Because it most certainly isn't my Mal. You took everyone's memories so you could get a happy ending . You let everyone suffer so you could get what you want. That's not s good queen. You're the villain here, Ella and I will defeat you and get my family back together. Nothing you can do will stand in the way of that " Ben said full of anger" Are you seriously dumping me for that witch? What does she have to offer that I don't have ? " Ella snapped" She has love and kindness in heart which is something you lack. She is Auradon's hero. She puts everyone before herself. Unlike you. You were good once, Ella and you can be again. You don't need to play the villain to get happiness. There is someone out there for you. Someone who will love you in ways I cannot " Ben pleaded" I'm the villain here? Really, Ben? You are really funny . Good luck finding your child without me " Ella snapped" I don't need you. Good will always triumph over evil. We have always found each other in the worst of the worst and this time will be no different "

end of flashback

The trio sat in silence. Spencer staring at Ella in pity and admiration. He had always liked her just like he liked Mal at one point. Ben would always be an issue though. She would never settle for less than a king. The truth is she wanted power rather than Ben. She wanted Auradon.

" What do we do now? " Spencer asked

" I have an idea " Ella said with a smirk
