   Estella’s POV:
       I said with straight face, “But I am someone else… not yours..”
He walked to me expressionlessly and said, “You are not mine?.... someone else?.... then let’s make you mine..” I was confused on his words, but he took my both hand in his and said, “Then let’s say… I am marrying you today… this forest and this lake is my favorite place is witness to it… I Prince Adrian take this beautiful women as my wife for rich and poor… for good time and bad times… for this youth to old age… till her every smile and tears…… I do…. I do agree to make you my wife…” he smiled at me and my eyes  widen, I don’t know am I surprised or am I touched…. He kissed me again and I was too confuse to response…
   He smiled at me as he looked at me… I came back to senses and said, “this is childish…this is not real wedding and I reject it even if it’s your imagination, Your highness…”
      Adrian said dramatically, “Just got rejected after this beautiful confession and wedding…” what is wrong with him… I saw him chuckle… he put his arm around my shoulder and god! He is heavy… he pulled me around the lake and made me forcefully walk… he said, “But I was serious…. And our real wedding would be beautiful than this one…” he is full of himself… at last he is a Prince… I moved out of his grip and maintained distance….
   He gave me a look but I said in between, “We should maintain distance, Your highness. Anyways I want to go home… I have lots of work..”
    Adrian thought for a moment and then said, “Why are you too busy? I brought you to my special place to relax… and you are worrying about yourself.” He is right this place is relaxing, trees, grass, lake and mild breeze….. but it’s not relaxing with trouble maker Prince…
  I said, “I am walking back… I am busy…” I don’t remember the road but I will manage… I heard him, “Fine, I will take you your home and then think about reducing your work so I have time for me… my newlywed…”………..
      Author’s POV:
   Next day
    Estella was working in the bakery from morning…. She was busy and exhausted at this point, but she didn’t wanted to complain, she knew she has to work… her aunt is getting old, there is no one beside her to help them…
    She saw a soldier coming to the bakery, her uncle was talking to them, and Estella was confused about it…
    Her uncle turned to Estella and said, “Ella… pack some vanilla cakes, fresh bread… and some of your roses, it’s an order from the palace…”
   She  nodded and immediately arranged everything in my basket… uncle added, “can you please drop it to the palace.. I still need to check on the cakes…”
   She said, “Yes… don’t worry I will be back soon..” she was thankful the palace was not too far from her bakery… it’s few minutes…
    Estella went into the palace after high security check on her… she did as they said to her… soon she was in the palace and dropped the things to the head maid of the palace..
  The head maid said, “Flower’s… You should give them personally to Prince Adrian…. He likes to insure his things by himself…” her eyes widen, she thought to herself, was the flowers for that prince…
    She said, “But… I have some really important work…”
   A voice from behind said, “Is it more important than  the Prince of this country..” she turned to see Adrian as he well dressed and perfect…
