As he stared at me with cold eyes I knew this was not the man I had fallen in love with, this is a different man entirely. His cold way of speaking shook me to my core as if we were strangers to one another. That he did not see parts of me that I had kept hidden for so long.
"What do you mean we can no longer be together Harold? We...you...you took the only thing I..."
"Yes well...that issue was never my concern. You dealt out your favours as if they were nothing but candy. If not me some other gentleman would of been just as good" He said it in a that cold distant way of his. I felt a shiver and pulled my shawl tighter around my shoulders. My hand falls to cradle the little life that I know we had created in what I thought was a passionate and love filled activity. The life I though Harold would of loved, he loved all his children.
"Our...the baby...what do I do about this Harold?"
"There are ways to rid yourself of that inconvenience," he spewed and I balked "But if the babe looks anything like my other children I will take responsibility. You will accept a house on the grounds and we will, my wife and I, will make sure you want for nothing-"
"Harold that's not what I want, you said you would honour me...that you would marry me-" he growled and hit the wall next to my head
"Marry you?" He roared "I love Elizabeth she's my wife, the mother of my children and the Duchess. You, my dear, are the daughter of one of my closest friend who could not care less who took virtues with her" I chocked on a sob and pushed him away from me.
"I will not be some kept woman Harold, as you said I am the daughter of one of your closest friends meaning I am a Dutch's daughter." I give him a cold smirk "I will do us both the favour and inform my father what has transpired. He deserves to know after all" His face pales and i smirk as I leave the sordid alleyway alongside my house, my father descends the stairs and I know what I have to. This will be the last I see of England, because as long as the Duke of Cambridge lives, he will never let us live in peace or the Duchess for that matter. "Father"
