I am the Queen 🐇

Chapter 7

As expected, the news that Daniel and Evangeline broke up spread like wildfire, surprising no one. The only thing that people said, 'It was about time that Daniel broke up with her.'

Daniel and Sisley remained as friends. Too guilty for what they did. Besides, Daniel still had lingering feelings for Evangeline. But as of now, Sisley dominated his entire heart.

Daniel never spoke to Evangeline after that. He was too ashamed and embarrassed to even talk to her. He had girlfriends in the past, and not once did he break his code of loyalty. He never dared cheat nor entertained the thought of it –– until today that is. Which was an accident, a slip of emotion.

Honestly, he didn't know what he should do. He even changed seat with Max and now was seated beside Sisley while Max had the unfortunate privilege to sit beside the Queen.

Daniel knew that he was in the wrong and his priority was to apologize to Evangeline. But how exactly –– I had no idea.

Just peeking at the icy face of Evangeline was enough to make him shrunk in shame and guilt much less talk to her.

Daniel didn't like the feeling he was having now. His mind was filled with nothing but complicated emotions he couldn't control. Everyday, he thought he could never live with the guilt and shame and the fallout from his integrity. He didn't like the feeling and swore he wouldn't ever cheat again. It was not worth it.

What he lost outweigh the gain. His values and honor crumbled. It was like he lost a part of himself, and he was traumatized by his actions.

I have to apologize to her!

He thought by apologizing to her would elevate some of his guilt and bring back something he had lost.

In contrast, Sisley tried everything to avoid Evangeline. But even though she didn't say it, besides the guilt and shame, she was thrilled.

Happy that she could be closer to Daniel now.

But of course, after that incident, they mellowed down. They kept their secret meetups to a minimum mostly for the reason they didn't want to ruin their reputation at school.

They secretly thanked Evangeline because she didn't spread any stories of what exactly happened. Well, even if she did, no one would believe her. And who would she spread the rumors to? She didn't have any friends at school.

At first, Daniel wanted to talk to Evangeline. To say sorry and asked for forgiveness. Breaking up in good terms and to ask her to keep what happened at that time a secret. Mostly because he didn't want Sisley to be the object of scorn and hate. He also didn't want to ruin his name. After all, he came from a respectable royal lineage.

But as time progress, it was becoming harder and harder to speak to her. It was even harder to glance at her without feeling embarrass.

Hence, when the days passed by, and Evangeline didn't spread any rumors, his apology was pushed in the back of his head. He knew Evangeline didn't like to gossip, not because she was nice, she was far from that, it was because she didn't care about anyone except herself. Others existence simply bore her.
