Vows of a Poisoned Prince Chapter 3

•Zayn•

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

I'm done *put down his cutleries*

The buzz around the table stops

Nora Delacruz [Zayn Mom]

Are you sure, honey? *look at his plate* You've barely had any

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

*swallow**staring at his plate* *nods* Yes.

？？？

...why don't you have some of this, Z? It's your favourite *passes him soup*

I flinch at her voice. My heart thumping harder against my rib cage

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

*clench his fists* No thank you... Lilah *push away the plate and stand* Have a nice breakfast *walk away*

Delilah Adams [Zayn's Friend][Novel FL]

*watch him go*

Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]

Ignore him. His been moody all morning.

I slam the door of my room, breathing hard

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

*sit on the bed holding head**breathing heavily*

Nora Delacruz [Zayn Mom]

"Honey"

Delilah Adams [Zayn's Friend][Novel FL]

"Z?"

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

AHHHHHHH! *shout*

I still can't wrap my head around this

I'm awake. Back in my 18-year-old body

How?

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

F*ck

But why? I... I don't want...

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

*laugh harshly*

Nothing make sense

Why am I given this chance when I really, really don't want to live?

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

*fall back on bed*

Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]

Now what?

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

*knock knock*

My head snaps to the door

？？？

Sweetheart?

The organ in my chest trembles

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*sob softly**looking at the closed door*

？？？

Can I come in?

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*hurriedly wipe her face* Yes *softly*

The door opens and he steps in. The first who held my heart in his palms.

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Are you alright, Rosa? *ask gruffly*

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*sniff* Daddy! *throw herself in his arms*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Oh! *catch her* Rosa?

My father's rough voice croaks, but this time with the soften edge and that makes my tears spill all over him

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

Daddy... Dad...

My shoulder shake by the force I hold him to me

I remember seeing this same face. In the hospital ward. Broken, yet standing so strong for me

He held my hand through all the procedure with a smile as if watching me in pain didn't break him

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Rosa, sweetheart, I won't know what it is if you don't tell me. Is something bothering you? Or is it someone? Rosa? *concern*

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*shake head* *sob*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

*sigh* What is it baby? *caress her head*

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*break the hug and look at him* ... I missed you, daddy *sob* So much *sniff*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

*laugh heartily* Look at you mopping like my small baby girl again. Daddy is going nowhere, sweetheart *kiss her head*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

It isn't going to be long before you come back, okay? I'm sure your brother will take care of you, hmm?

I was so busy staring at him that I missed his sentences

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Let's get you to breakfast, if not your mom is going to go all Hulk

He hold my hand and I feel like a little girl again and I forget about all his words about me going away

Or the brother part

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

...Mom?

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

What? Wasn't gonna miss your mom? Baby, although we both know she is a little crack on her head, let's not make it obvious shall we?

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*snort*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Hey! *glare*

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*cover her smiling mouth*

Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]

Better. Now, your mom is not as cool as me, *nonchalantly* But we can't make her feel that way, so whatever treatment you gave me, should be given to her too. No bias. Clear? *raise a brow at her*

Rosalinda Montaya [FL]

*nod* *smiling*

Oh my God. This is so real.

This is real.
