CHAPTER-2
Silas's figure disappeared through the doors.
Leaving behind the echo of expensive footsteps and a stunned silence.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
He didn't even look back.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*sigh*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Before he'd cling to me like I was his whole world.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Hug me so tight I could barely breath.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
But now... it's like I'm the one clinging to a ghost.
His voice cracked slightly.
Alexander Wellington [DA]
*eyes clouded with grief*
Alexander Wellington [DA]
It's like, I'm dating a stranger?
Alexander Wellington [DA]
Like he's not my angel anymore...
Alexander Wellington [DA]
But someone else entirely.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
What? You're back already?
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Don't you have a date with Alex?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
It was. *tossed his coat aside*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
But I'm not some joker meant to entertain him, so I left.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*frown*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Silas... why would you do that?
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
What if he cancels the wedding?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*smirk* Uff, Dad don't worry.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
He won't.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
After all, he's head over heels for me.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*glares*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Ugh, not the 'threatening dad stare' again?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Can we skip this part? I'm starving.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*sighs deeply*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Sometimes, I seriously wonder how Alex even fall for you.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*grinning proudly*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Obviously, because I'm the most beautiful being to ever exist. *flips his hair*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
(눈‸눈)
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*offended*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
What's with that face now?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
You know I'm only doing all this because of you.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*plopped onto the couch*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
For that stupid plan, I have to hang out with that freak all the time.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
And instead of praising my patience and charm, you're giving me that look.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
I'm so hurt! *dramatically*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
(Not this again)
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
*sighs and stand up*
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Okay, now go and wash your hands.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
I'll tell the maids to start serving dinner.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
And yes, bring your brother down too.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*groan* Dad, do I really have to go get that weirdo myself?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Just tell the maid, she'll do it.
Rowan Lancaster [DA]
Silas!!
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Alright, alright! I'm going....
Silas Lancaster [DO]
(Bossy, as always...)
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*knocking lazily on the door*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Maverick, are you there?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*frowns*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
What's that weirdo doing now?
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Probably painting his non-existent prince again...
Silas Lancaster [DO]
*mutters under his breath with a sarcastic scoff*
Silas Lancaster [DO]
God, he's so stupid!
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Seriously, how can anyone wait for a person who doesn't even exist?
He knocks again, louder this time.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Hey! If you are done with that rubbish, come out already.
Silas Lancaster [DO]
Dad's calling for dinner.
Inside the room, soft golden light spills from a desk lamp.
The scent of oil paint lingers in the air.
Maverick sits quietly, eyes lost in a painting of a faceless man with warm eyes and half-smile.
His brush lies forgotten.
Fingers gently trace the figure's jawline on the canvas.
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
Where are you..?
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
How long are you going to make me wait?
His eyes flickered to the handkerchief tied around his neck.
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
*touches it*
Maverick Lancaster [Beta]
You know I'm missing you so much...
