My Cold-hearted Empress | BOOK III

Chapter 4: A Little Mistake

Anastasia POV

-

"My love, are feeling alright?" I asked as my wife closed her eyes and groaned in pain

"Is your headache that bad? Do you want me to do something?"

I asked worriedly and got up but I stopped when she held on to my sleeve. I knelt back and kissed her forehead

"Stay here, don't worry It'll go away"

She referred to her headache and she scooted away and made a space for me. I smiled then laid beside her

Pulled her closer and cuddled her small frame

"Ana... don't leave me" Y/n mumbled as she slowly drifts into the darkness

I kissed her forehead and intertwined our fingers

"I won't love, you're all I need and nothing else" I smiled and pecked her nose

-

"Highness... Your Highness, It's time to wake up!" I opened my eyes to see a girl and a tear left my eye

It was blurry but I was certain

"Y/n, my love is that you?" I asked as I squinted my eyes

"Ew, stop that" When my view became clear it was Y/n, the gremlin one

"What are you doing here? Did you get permission to be here?" I asked coldly while wiping my tears

"Geez woman, calm down. The head maid told me to wake you up since I'm your 'servant' even though I didn't want to be one"

This fearless little-

I took a deep breath and got off my queen-sized bed, then began stripping my clothes off

"W-What are you doing?!" Y/n asked while she covers her face with her hands

"I'll take a shower, what? What's wrong with it? Maids aid me when I take a bath so they pretty much saw all of me"

I replied without glancing at her, but when I turned around I saw her looking at the huge portrait of Y/n hidden behind the curtains

"She's pretty, who's she?"

Y/n asked and my eyes widen when she touched our rings. I immediately ran towards her and yanked her hand away from my precious keepsake

"DON'T TOUCH THINGS THAT BELONG TO ME!"

I shouted mad with my golden eyes glowing in anger

How dare she touch Y/n's ring without my permission

"I-I'm sorry, I'll go" She apologized and hurriedly went out

I huffed and slumped on the floor while kissing the ring of my ex-wife

"My love, did I overreact again? It's getting worse. I need you"

I mumbled and hugged my knees then cried, I began sobbing and covered my naked body with my robe

"Anastasia dear" I lifted my head seeing the head maid with a sympathetic expression

"You're crying again? Gosh, she didn't mean to touch it you know. Come here"

The head maid, Finea. Opened her arms and I pulled her in to cry on her shoulder

Finea has been taking care of me since I was a baby, I respect her a lot. She's like a mother to me 

"Anastasia this isn't healthy, I hope you can move on" Finea mumbled and I sobbed

"It's hard"
