Astral's POV:

Where am I? My eyes slowly open as I notice a woman laying on the bed. Oh, yea… Realization dawns on me as I remember yesterday's events.

(Flash):

"I'm your fiancée."

(Flash)

She's my fiancée… which means we're supposed to get married… I hiss as a throbbing pain course through my brain. What am I supposed to do about this? And why does my head hurt so much! I jerk up throwing off the covers clutching my head. Argh!

"Astral," A hand grips mine tightly as I wince in pain. "Are you okay? Do I need to notify the doctor?" She asks hastily in panic.

My eyes shut tightly as if my brain was about to explode. "Argh!"

(Flash):

...A blurred, enclosed room...

(Flash):

...A familiar young frame sitting down, rocking back and forth while hugging their knees...

(Flash):

...A freakish scream rings in an echo, making the figure tense...

(Flash)

What, the, huh…?! W-What did I just see?

"Who… am… I?" A whisper escapes my lips as I shake my head. What on earth?

A hand cautiously touch mine as I smack it away out of instinct. "Don't touch me."

She winces rubbing the back of her hands. "Astral,"

"What is it?" Got to calm down. Take a deep breath.

Her lips form a small frown as her eyes drift towards my hand. "You're trembling."

"I'm not trembling."

"You are." She reaches for my hand as I pull it away at the slightest touch.

"I said don't touch me!" My breathing labors as I shoot up on the couch backing away. W-Why am I like this? What am I so scared about?

The woman in front of me puts her hands in surrender. "I-I'm sorry." Tears glisten from her eyes as they drip on the carpet. She bites her lips blinking the tears away.

She doesn't deserve this. Why on earth did I react like that? I clutch my head closing my eyes with a groan. What is wrong with me?

"Does it hurt again? I'll notify the-"

"I'm… fine." At least I think so.

"But-"

"Just," I take a deep breath opening my eyes to meet hers. "Give me a moment." Oh gosh, what is going on? Why does my head hurt so much? It's like getting a jackhammer to my skull.

A moment of silence passes between us as we stare at each other. Her eyes… they radiate so much worry… A soft sigh escape my lips as I approach her. "I'm sorry for yelling."

"It was my mistake. I shouldn't have-"

"It wasn't." My fingers run themselves through my hair. "I shouldn't have reacted like that."Why did I react so hostile against her? She's my fiancée. It's not like she's going to hurt me in anyway.

My arms wrap around her shoulders ignoring my discomfort as her eyes widen. This is my redemption. It's the least that I can do to make up my loss of control over my emotions. "I'm sorry. Can you forgive me, Lady Liliana?"

A pair of arms slowly wrap around my waist and leans into my chest as I stiffen. Great. "I will always forgive you, my love."

"If you don't mind me asking, what did you see?" She ask after a moment of silence. I knew this question would come up.

"That's the problem but I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Yea," I begin as she wraps her arms tighter. "I guess one way to describe it is an array of random images."

"A series of images that made you afraid?"

"Yes… Lady Liliana?"

"Hm?"

"Have I ever been… never mind." I shouldn't bother her with this. Plus, it's only a one time thing… actually, a two time thing but best not to let her know for now.

"You know that you can ask me anything, right?"

"Yea, I know. It's nothing important. Don't worry." Hopefully this won't happen again.

"Astral," She pulls back placing a hand on mine sporting a frown. "I'm your fiancée. You don't have to feel hesitant about anything alright?"

My eyes widened at her statement. Is she really my fiancée though? "Oh!" Her eyes widened as she takes off her ring and hands it to me.

Huh?

"Um… what's this?"

"It's my engagement ring! Do you remember it?" Her eyes sparkle with a grin as I gulp.

Um…

What should I say? My eyes examine it from multiple angles. Wow the center diamond is huge! How many carat is this?

"Well um…"

Her amethyst eyes drifts down as I notice tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "You don't remember it. I knew it was a long shot."

Aw… she looks so sad…

A sigh escapes my lips. "Who said that I don't remember this ring?"

The woman in front of me blinks meeting my gaze in disbelief. "Y-You… remember…?" An audible whisper comes from her lips as tears drip down her cheeks.

I don't but for your sake, might as well do a good deed.

"Yea," I got to tread carefully. "I proposed to you with this, correct?"

She nods clasping one of my hands firmly with an excited expression. "Yes! Do you remember anything else about that night? Do you remember what you said?"

I gulp at her eagerness as I rack my brain for something. What am I supposed to say? I don't actually remember anything about the proposal. How am I…!

Ah ha!

A hiss escapes my lips as my hand clutches my forehead. "Ah, my head…"

Sorry.

A concerned look flashes on her face as she touches my arm in a comforting manner. "Baby, it hurts again? Hold on, I'll get the doctor."

"No, no," I grip her hand making her look back. "I'm fine. My head just started hurting for a moment is all."

"But are you sure you're okay?"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry so much."

Sorry I lied. Wait a minute. Since when do I start caring about her feelings?

"I'm sorry." The being in front of me fidgets with her other ring on her right hand. "I shouldn't have forced you to remember like that."

And that is how you get concern from individuals. I can use my amnesia to get out of situations! Hm… the power plays I can make are endless.

"It's fine." I grimace opening one eye to meet hers. "And everything is so hazy right now. I'm not sure if this is even real or not."

Wait, why am I telling her this? It's not like she can do anything to make this-

A pair of arms wrap around my chest as I stiffen. The scent of vanilla sugar cookies enters my nostrils as she lays her head on my chest, shutting her eyes with a content smile.

"What are you-"

"This way, you know this is real."

"How?"

Her gem-like eyes look up at mine. "Because you're with me and I'm real."

I blink at her words as she blinks cutely at me with a head tilt. Huh…

A minuscule smile crosses my lips as her eyes shine like a star. "You know what I realized?"

"What did you realize?"

"That you," A finger pokes her nose as she blinks blankly. "Are just like a child."

"Heyyyyy!" Her brows furrow with a pout. " I am not like a child!"

"I beg to to differ."

The way she acts… it's just too adorable! Ugh! What's the matter with me? I hardly know her yet why am I…

"Lady Liliana-"

"I know but let me hug you for a moment. Just another moment, my beloved." Well, if it's just for a moment. A sigh escapes my lips as her arms wrap around my body tighter.

5 minutes later:

This seems more than a moment.

"Lady Liliana, it's been 5 minutes."

"So?"

"You said for only a moment."

"You're my fiancé though."

"This is a business," I gently unwrap her arms. "Please, refrain from touching."

"Honey," She lets out an exasperated sigh. "Our relationship is not a business."

"Didn't I say yesterday that I view this as a business?"

"You may view it that way but I don't." She latches onto my arm with a smile. At this rate, I think I'm going to die. Why do I have to pick such an affectionate fiancée?

A groan escapes my mouth as she shoots me a look. "Come on, don't be like that. Is physical touch that uncomfortable?"

Most definitely. "Currently, yes."

Her lips peck my cheek. "Ok."

Ok? "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is ok."

Huh? "Can you stop with all the physical contact?" I ask while trying to get my arm free.

"No can do, my darling."

"And why is that?"

"I'm just listening to your orders."

My orders? "What?"

"Yup, I'm listening to your orders." Huh… what orders is she speaking of?

Liliana's POV:

(Flash):

"If someday I forget," His fingers dry my tears. "Make me fall in love with you all over again."

My heart skips a beat. I stare at him blinking with tears glistening. "H-How?"

"By being yourself." My fiancé utters softly pulling back a strand of hair.

(Flash)

By being myself… My lips curve upwards. "Lady Liliana," My beloved tries to escape as I wrap my arms around his waist. "This is a business. Keep this professional."

Professional? This is a relationship, not a business! Looks like we have to start from square one. To think that all of my hard work would go to waste. Such a shame.

"Darling, how many times do I have to say-"

My stomach churns as my eyes widen. Not again! I cover my mouth and run towards the restroom emptying the contents in the bowl.

Why is this keep happening? Did I eat something that didn't agree with me? No, that doesn't seem right. I barely ate yesterday.

I heave as a person awkwardly pat my back not knowing what else to do. At least he's patting my back to prove that he cares.

"I'm assuming you have the stomach bug."

"Yea," My breathing labors as I flush the toilet. "That might be it."

"Did you have anything that didn't agree with you?"

I shake my head. "No."

My feet stumble as he grips my arm. "Careful."

Why do I feel so nauseous? He leads me to the bed and pours me a cup of water. "Here,"

"Thanks." I gulp down the water and hand it back to him. Hm… thinking back, this has been happening for a few days now…

"I would recommend you see a doctor."

"No," I wave a hand. "I'll be fine."

He stares at me for a few minutes and shrugs. "Ok. It's your choice."

Maria's POV:

"What?!"

"He has amnesia?!"

I wince at the loudness of the three guys who gape at my friend with jaws hanging open. I did mention multiple times to be quiet, didn't I?

"Guys, be quiet or else everyone will hear!"

"Oops," Derek said rubbing his neck sheepishly. "But are you sure about this?"

"100%."

The three of them sigh. "Seriously?"

"We've only been gone for a few weeks and yet so much has happened."

"Tell me about it." My friend groans as I pat her back.

"What are you five talking about?" A feminine voice rings out as she gracefully steps closer.

"Astrana, hey!"

"Hello," She glances at the guys who all sported smiles. "Are you three not surprised?"

"We were at first but then Star calmed us down," Derek said as the others nod.

"Oh, cause I was going to say…"

They chuckle. "No no, to say we weren't surprised was an understatement."

"So, I guess we can't refer to you as Princess Consort anymore?" Zach chimed in as she giggles waving a hand.

"Please don't. I still can't believe I got married to my brother of all people."

"Us too." They spoke simultaneously.

"But, to say that this is bad isn't really correct," I said. "If you haven't married him, you wouldn't have found out you were his sister."

"She's correct," Star chimes in. "Life really works in mysterious ways."

We nod. That sums it all up. "Astrana, how is he?" Zach asks as she sighs.

"Well, I don't know." She starts looking towards his room. "Yesterday when he woke up, he didn't recognize any of us."

"He didn't recognize anyone?" Brandon asks with disbelief as I nod.

"That includes his fiancée as well." My friend said as their eyes widen.

"Oh wow…"

"When he learned his relationship with her, he proceeded to act cold and views it as a business."

The guys all shake their heads. "Of course,"

"How's she handling it?"

"From what I can see yesterday," I place a hand under my chin. "She's handling it pretty well."

"That's a relief."

"Can you stop latching onto my arm?" Footsteps walk down the hall as we turn our heads.

"Astral!" She whines holding his arm closer as he sighs.

"Lady Liliana, I'm serious. Let go." He struggles to remove his arm.

This is going to take some time. The fact that he refers to her as 'Lady' is unpleasant though.

"Did he refer to her title?"

"Yes, Derek, you heard correctly."

"But he never refers to her like that."

"Brandon, did you forget he has amnesia? He doesn't remember anything."

We look back at the arguing couple. He's still trying to get his arm free. "Don't make me take out a contract for this." Oh, don't tell me it's that marriage contract that he created. Seriously?!

"Even if you take out the contract, I will not sign it." She looks away with a pout as he sighs yet again.

"Why do you insist on latching onto my arm?"

She looks back pecking his cheek as his eyes widen. "Lady Liliana, remember to keep things professional between us."

My friend smirks with a wink. "Remember, the game started this morning. Anything goes, my love."

"Yes. Anything that doesn't violate my boundaries that is."

We smack our heads shaking them in disbelief. "Professional? Seriously?"

"It's a relationship, not a business."

"But the problem is, he views it as a business of all things."

"At least he's not speaking in that cold, icy tone anymore." His sister shivers as I pat her shoulder. Hopefully, he never speaks like that to any of us again.

Star's POV:

"Lady Star, how are you doing?"

My lips curve into a slight smile. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking."

"Older brother!" She hugs him tightly as he stiffens.

"Princess Astrana-"

"We're family, Lucky, address me by my name."

"Astrana, please let go." He mutters.

She hugs him tighter. "Yay! You referred to me by my name!"

I sigh softly. "Astrana, you're choking him."

Her eyes widen and released her older brother immediately. "Sorry."

"It's fine."

My eyes shift to the three guys. "Let me introduce you to these three."

"Meet Zachary, Brandon, and Derek."

He blinks a bit and holds out a hand. "Pleased to meet you three."

They glance at me as I nod. They all shook his hand firmly. "Likewise, my friend."

"Do you not remember anything about us?"

He shakes his head. "Unfortunately no."

"Don't worry, amnesia is a long process. You will remember everything as time progresses."

"Lord Brandon, thank you for your kind words." Oof… I glance at my friend whose expression just took a turn as he frowns and bites his lip.

Derek lets out a laugh. "Astral, no need to be so formal with us."

"Yea," Zach said. "We're your friends."

"I guess so."

'I guess so'… what does he mean?

Astrana's POV:

Princess Astrana… this hurts. "Are you alright?" My friend asks me in concern as I give her a minuscule smile.

"I'm fine. I just never expected him to refer to me as my title."

His fiancée pats my back. "I know how you feel. It's going to take some time for him to adjust to things."

"Yeah," My friend said. "What we can do now is try to be patient and support him to the best of our ability."

I nod. I know but he's never been so formal with me or any one of us before. "Lily, how was last night after we left?"

She sighs clutching her head. "He slept on the couch."

Ooooh… We pat her on the back. "Don't worry, as you said, he's still getting used to this."

"Yes," My friend chimes in holding her hand. "He'll be fine. Just give him some time to accept this."

"Mhm. Ok, I will-" Her face pales covering her mouth lurching forwards a bit heaving. Uh-oh…

"Come on, let's go."

She holds up a hand. "No… I'm fine." We glance at each other. This has been happening for weeks now.

"Are you sure?"

"I still think seeing a doctor is more advised."

"I'm fine, I'm just nauseous a bit that's all." We help her to a chair as we sit down beside her.

"Just look at how pale you are," I point out as my friend nods.

"Not to mention this has been going on for weeks now."

My friend summons up a glass of water and hands it to her. "Drink this,"

She nods weakly and sips it slowly. "Feel better?"

"Yea, thanks, Maria."

"Don't mention it but I think you should get this checked out by the doctor."

"No need. I feel fine."

"Maybe now but a few moments ago, you were not," She grips my hand.

"Astrana, don't worry too much. It's probably a stomach bug like he said." Perhaps but still, wouldn't it be better to get a diagnosis from a doctor?

Hm… I tiptoe up to him as my friend gave me a confused look. "Shh!"

"Lord Derek, that's-"

Once I got close enough, I hop on his back wrapping my arms securely around his neck. My legs wrap around his waist as he staggers. "What the-"

"Surprise, Lucky!"

"What?" I peck his cheek as I pull him closer. "Astrana, what are you doing?"

A giggle escapes my lips. "Isn't it obvious? I'm piggybacking you."

He sighs as I press my body against his back. "Can you get off?"

"Why should I, Lucky?" My finger pokes his cheek. "You're my older brother."

"Yes, and you're my younger sister." His hands gently pry my fingers from his shoulders. "Also, why are you referring to me as Lucky?"

"It's my nickname for you, do you like it?"

He glance back at me with a raised eyebrow. "Why did you choose that as my nickname?"

This seems familiar… My eyes light up. "It's because you're lucky!"

A chuckle escapes his mouth. "I'm lucky?"

"Mhm!"

His lips curve into a smile. "So you say,"

I giggle as he reaches back to pat my head. "Ok, get off my back."

"Mmmm, Lucky, I don't wanna!"

"Seriously?"

I wrap my arms around his neck tighter. "Brother, carry me around the palace."

His eyes widen. "Really?"

"I'm serious."

"No."

"Please?"

"Get off me."

Hm…

"I'll tell mom and dad that you are bullying me."

His eyes widen as he looks back at me. "Oh yeah? Do they think they'll believe you or me?"

"Me obviously," A giggle escapes my lips. "I've always been the favorite out of the two."

"So you say…"

"So… can you please do a lap around the palace?" I ask after a moment of silence as he folds his arms across his chest.

"What's in it for me?"

"Because I'm your twin and you love me?" I bat my eyelashes as my brother displays a neutral expression.

Seriously?!

I let out a breath. "I'll show you around the palace. After all, you probably don't remember the way around this gigantic place."

He stays quiet for a few minutes as his hands hold my legs firmly. "Just this once." Yes!

Liliana's POV:

At the table:

My lips curve upwards as he approaches the table with his sister on his back ruffling his blue locks. "Hey, not the hair!"

"You did it to me a bunch of times when I showed you the palace. Why can't I do it to you?"

"That's because you're my younger sister."

"And you're my precious older brother, Lucky!" She hugs him tightly as he coughs.

"Too… tight… (Cough)…"

"Oops, haha, sorry."

Looks like they're getting along well. My smile falters a bit. If only he can show me a bit of that affection he showed to her. I stare in disgust at the food presented on my plate. Is it strange that I find this disgusting?

"Liliana," My mother calls out in concern. "Are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm fine, Mother."

"If that's true then why aren't you touching your plate?"

My eyes drift towards the food once more as I squeeze my nose pushing the plate away. "I don't like it."

My father blinks. "But didn't you used to like this?"

Yes but… "Now it's making me nauseous."

Everyone looks at me in concern except my fiancé who's getting ready to eat his delicious, aromatic, tomato soup. Why does that soup smell so delicious? I gulp as he raises a brow. "What are you looking at?"

"The soup…"

He looks back and forth between me and the bowl. "You want to eat this?"

I nod rapidly as he sighs and swaps my plate with the bowl. "Go ahead." Yes!

The acidity of the tomatoes cancels out the sweetness making it the perfect balance between sweet, creamy, and sour that I ever tasted. Mmmmm! So good!

My face lights up with a smile as I eat more of it. Tell me again why I didn't try this sooner?This is helping me with my stomach cramps too. "Is it that good?"

"Yup," I replied gulping another spoonful. "It's delicious!"

"But isn't it just tomato soup?"

"Yes, but I like it," I reply finishing the bowl. That was delicious!

He looks at me. "You've got something near your lips."

Eh? I take a napkin and wipe my lip. "No, a bit to the right."

"Here?"

"That's too much."

I tried again. "Here?"

"No, a bit up."

"How about now?" I ask as he stares at me with a blank expression. I'm considering that as a no.

"Never mind, I'll do it." My fiancé takes the napkin from my hand and wipes the spot near my lips with a gentle gaze as I can see a small smile forming. He's smiling at me… he's really smiling at me! My heart flutters in my chest as my face grows hot.

"Done." He leans back with a neutral expression.

I shoot him a smile and peck his cheek. "Thanks!"

He removes my arms gently. "Be mindful of physical contact."

Again with the no physical contact rule."Honey, I'm your fiancée and you claim this is a business relationship right?"

"Yes," He tries to remove my arms from his body.

"If that's the case, why did you help wipe the stain from my lip?" I questioned as he blinks blankly in deep thought.

"I don't need to explain my actions to you." He undo my arms clearing his throat, eating his food.

"Sure…" I eye him with a smirk. At least I know for a fact that he cares about me!

"Are you feeling any better?" His mother asks as I nod.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm feeling just fine."

My beloved scoffs. "Feeling fine? Must I remind you how you what happened this morning?"

I snap my head towards him. "That was this morning."

"What happened this morning?" Brandon asks in concern.

"She almost fainted."

"What?!" Everyone stares at me in shock as I giggle.

"If I wasn't there to stabilize her, who knows what might've happened."

Why must he bring that up?

"Lily,"

"It's probably a stomach bug," I started waving a hand.

"Liliana," My mother's bright blue eyes lock onto my purples. "You are going to see the doctor after this."

"Mother, you're blowing this out of proportion." I begin calmly. "It's probably-"

"You almost fainted!"

"He's exaggerating." I shoot him a look as he smiles innocently.

"Let me ask you something," His mother chimes in. "How long has this been happening?"

"About a few weeks now."

"Along with regurgitation, have you experienced insomnia, mood swings, cravings, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, headaches, sensitivity to light, sounds, and/or smells?"

"Everything except for sensitivity to light and mood swings," I respond after a moment.

"Enna, why do you ask that?" Her husband asks.

"Don't you think these symptoms are similar to…" She trails off as my mother's eyes widen with a gasp.

"You don't think that she's…"

The four older adults look at me with a mixture of shock and happiness. Huh? What's with them all of a sudden? They turn their attention to my beloved as he sips my water since I took his a moment ago. "Is something the matter?"

"Of course not," My father said turning his gaze back to me sternly.

"Liliana-"

My mother elbows him. "Luca, stop it."

"But-"

"Let me handle this."

"Umm…" My gaze shifts from person to person as they lean forward in interest. "What is happening here?"

"Have you and your fiancé been intimate the past weeks?"

My eyes widen as my beloved spits out the water he's been drinking coughing violently. W-Why?! "M-Mother! Why would you ask such a thing?" I ask in appall as my friend's faces sport blushes with awkward coughs.

"No." My love responds dabbing his lips gently. "We did no such thing."

"You have amnesia." My father points out as he looks at my fiancé. My face heats up. Why would she ask such a thing?!

"You don't have to answer. Looking at your face says it all." She laughs as I look at her in horror.

"Mother!" Seriously, why is she asking this?

"Wait, wait, wait, let's not jump to conclusions."

"You're right," My father responds narrowing his eyes at my fiancé.

"Luca, stop glaring at him murderously."

"But honey, if that is the case, then-"

"Those things don't always work, you know."

"But still-"

"Just stop and let me ask." My mother pulls me aside from the table.

"What are you doing?"

"Did your period come yet?" What on earth?!

"Why on Astral world would you ask me that question?!" My face heats up as the people from the table stares at me. Uh-oh… did they hear me?

"Just tell me. Is it late?"

My face heats up even more. "Yes. In fact, it's been late since the past weeks." I mutter as she claps her hands excitedly.

"Yes! Oh, I've always dreamed about this day!" She sighs leaning on me as I blink. What is happening here?

"Uh… Mother? What are you so excited about?"

She clasps my hands with a grin. "Oh, my poor daughter. Why are you so oblivious when it comes to these things?"

"W-What?" Me? Oblivious?

Astral's POV:

This is all so strange. I stand on the balcony staring at the sea. To suddenly find out that I'm a prince. To realize that my mother, father, and sister are all royalty. Most importantly, am I even the prince?

"It's strange isn't it?" A female walks up next to me staring at the sea. "To wake up and have absolutely no memory of where and who you are."

"Yes, I guess that's the way to put it," I let out a sigh. "Mind if I ask you something?"

"Ask away."

I turn my gaze onto her. "How did you manage?"

She stays silent with a distant gaze in her emerald green eyes. "Well," An elegant hand tucks a strand of hair behind her ear as the light breeze sways her dress.

"Sometimes you just have to accept reality as it is." She places a hand gracefully on her chin leaning on it.

"No matter how harsh it is. You just have to accept it and keep on moving forward." Emerald green eyes meet mine with a soft smile. "Or else, you will get stuck in an endless cycle of self-doubt and regrets."

My eyes widen slightly as my cheeks heat up. W-What is going on with me? Her hair flows in the wind as she lets out a gentle sigh. "Did that answer your question?"

I blink trying to steady my heart. What on earth is with me all of a sudden? "Yes, indeed that did."

"Thank you, Lady Star."

"No need to thank me, Astral."

Her eyes turn to me. "What do you think about your fiancée?"

(Flash):

"If that's the case, why did you help wipe the stain from my lip?"

"I don't need to explain my actions to you."

(Flash)

I avoided her question but why did I help her?My fiancée? "I mean…" If I have to say the truth… "I still don't know what to make of this situation."

My friend offers me a gentle smile urging me to continue. "I… don't know how I feel about her." I started choosing my words carefully. "I know that I don't dislike her that's for sure."

She nods. "You don't dislike her. So does that mean you like her?"

"See? That's the part I fail to understand. I don't dislike her but I don't know if I like her."

"So, you're in the middle?"

"I guess you can put it that way." I feel guilty.

I look down a bit in guilt. "Lady Star?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think that's bad? After all, she's my fiancée."

"According to me," She responds after a moment. "No, that's not bad."

My eyes meet hers as she places a hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault that you have amnesia. Your fiancée knows that and is doing the best she can with this situation."

"She knows that you don't remember anything when it comes to your relationship with her. There's no need to feel guilty on not remembering her or anyone else for that matter." I stare at her gentle gaze.

She's right. There's no need to feel guilty about this. All I have to do is try to live my life while adjusting to the role of friend, prince, son, brother, and fiancé.

"Also, don't try to force yourself onto your roles."

My eyes widen as she continues. "No one is expecting you to perfect your duties and roles like this."

"But-"

"I'm serious. Try not to think too much and feel the flow."

Feel the flow… My lips curve upwards. "Feel the flow, huh?"

"What an interesting notion." Feel the flow…

Liliana's POV:

"What?!" I glance at the doctor. "You're joking right?"

He shakes his head. "I dare not joke about this matter." My feet stumble as I plop myself on the bed.

A snarl rings throughout the room. "I'm going to kill him with my bare hands!"

"Luca! Calm down."

"Carissa, how on earth can you-"

"She's going to be wedded to him. You knew about this. You consented to this as well, remember?"

"But-"

"No buts." My mother glares at him as he huffs. "Besides, this is the worst possible time to get angry."

How is this possible? I mean no… it's possible but why now? Why does it have to happen now?!

"Are you positive about this?" The King asks as he nods.

"Your Majesty, I am very certain. The test results say that she's 3 weeks pregnant."Three weeks… but I've been using the contraceptive…

(Flash):

"How is this not bad? I missed a pill!" I exclaim as he holds me tighter.

(Flash)

Unless… "No no no no no no!" I shoot up like a bottle rocket pacing around the room. Darn it! Miss one pill and now this. "This is the absolute worst time for this," I mutter frantically.

"Ok ok, Lily, get ahold of yourself." My mother said gently guiding me back to the bed.

"That's easy for you to say. You're not the one who's pregnant!" I snap at her while clutching my head. "This is the worst possible time for this."

He doesn't remember anything about our relationship. On top of that, he views this as a business. What if he doesn't want the baby? What if he doesn't love me anymore?

Tears trickle down my cheeks as she brings me into a hug rubbing my back. "It's going to be alright."

I sniffle. "No, it's not! He… doesn't remember. He d-doesn't…"

"He might not remember but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you."

"He specifically said he views our relationship like a business."

"That will all change once we tell him about-"

"No! You can't!" I shout as I stand up. "You cannot tell him about this."

"Why?" His mother asks looking at me.

"He's already under a lot of pressure as it is." I sit back down on the bed burying my head in my hands. "If I tell him this, then he will…"What to do? What should I do? If I tell him then…

(Flash):

"Although, since His Highness has amnesia, the best thing you all can do is not to shock him too much."

(Flash)

"If I tell him about this, how do you think he'll react?"

"Shocked."

"Scared."

"Freeze."

"Denial."

"Numb."

My friends guessed as I groan. "Try all of the above."

"But still, are you going to leave him in the dark about this?" His sister asks as I sigh again.

"I don't know…" I don't want to shock him but he deserves to know about this…

The door opens and my beloved enters raising a brow. His eyes shift from person to person then finally lands on me. "Is something going on?" How am I going to tell him?

Out of the corner of my eye, my friends told Star as her eyes widen. Darn it! Why now? Why now of all times?!

His eyes narrow. "What's the matter?"

I flinch as he sits next to me. I have to tell him. He deserves to know but… My eyes drift to my parents who nod. I…

"Astral, I need to tell you something important." I started while gently holding his hands.

"And that is?"

Don't you dare chicken out now, Liliana! I have to tell him! "I'm pregnant."

How will he react? Find out in the next chapter.
