Justinan pulled away from me and turned back to the cameras. They kept flashing from the pictures they were taking of us. He did the normal smile and wave thing and grabbed my hand in his. "Just follow whatever I do. The people won't notice that much if you're just copying what I do." I nodded and repeated his actions that he had done earlier.

Jeremy stood up to his feet and Pattie quickly grabbed him to sit him back down. He gritted his teeth and rubbed his hands together. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared for my life right about now. My grandmother dropped her plate of food on the table and turned to look at us with her mouth hanging open. Jaxon and Jazmyn turned to look as well, trying to see what all of the commotion was about. Soon, the whole room were all eyes on us.

Jaxon held a huge smile on his face and Jazmyn soon shared the same expression. Elizabeth, on the other hand, looked like her head was about to explode off of her body if she kept breathing hard.

"Justinan!!" She yelled over everybody in the room and marched over to us with Jeremy on her heels. Pattie pleaded for him to take his seat but he completely ignored his wife and walked to his son with raging eyes. I let go of Justinan's hand but he quickly grabbed it back in his and stood in front of me to protect me. "Yes, father? Elizabeth?"

She started to cry then. "We're supposed to be getting married, Justinan! You were going to propose to me tonight! This is supposed to be our night and you've let this...this..girl ruin it!" She cried into her hands and Justinan just stood there and watched her. There were a couple of giggles coming from the guests as well as some more angry glares at me from different women I've never even met before. Justinan nodded. "I wasn't going to propose to you tonight, Elizabeth. I wasn't even going to propose at all to be completely honest-" His father cut him off. "Son, a word please."

Justinan rolled his eyes and turned around to face me. "I'll be back, love. You can hang out with Jaxon and London while I'm gone if you want." I nodded and he pecked my lips once again. It was a feeling that I would never get tired of.

"What in the absolute hell were you thinking?!" My dad yelled as soon as we got on to the balcony and slammed the door behind him. I shrugged and looked out at my country. "I was thinking that I wanted to get to know Chanel some more without any inconsiderate fucks like you getting in the way-" He cut me off and turned me around with his hand. "You will speak to me with respect."

I shook my head and released his hand from around my shoulder. "No, father, you will speak to me with respect!"

His eyes widened and he nodded. "Oh so you're a man now?" I shrugged and walked back towards the balcony's door. "I've been a man, father. You were just too blind to see it. I could've had any woman I wanted in this country, including Elizabeth. But I chose Chanel for a reason. She has everything I've been looking for my entire life. Whether or not you choose to accept her really isn't any of my concern, but you will respect me and my decisions and you will also respect her."

He looked down at his shoes and sighed. "No."

"No? No you will not respect me?"

He nodded and crossed his arms. "You are my child, Justinan and I refuse to let you ruin your life, our legacy, because you want to be with someone other than the woman I've chose for you."

"I am your king and you will do as I say." I said and opened he doors. "Good evening, father." He was about to say something else but I shut the door before I could hear him and scanned the room for Chanel. Once I spotted her laughing with Gin and Jason, I smiled and walked over to their group. Jason's smiled turned into a frown and he rolled his eyes. "Yes, dearest cousin?"
