Fated to Love You (Egyptian Cinderella story)

Hate

--Aziza POV--

Ever since I told Chavi about the prince, she has not stopped nagging me about him. "Wait so when do you think the prince will come?" This has been the one question I have been hearing at a continuous rate for the last 2 weeks. "Chavi...... I'm am not the prince............ If you're that curious then go to the palace and ASK!"

She started pouting while muttering to herself. "I obviously can't do that....." She continued putting on a pout, before regaining her cheerful disposition and saying. "Well I have to go home; John's waiting for me." I gave her a soft smile before saying. "So how has Taavi been lately?" She got a sad expression in her eyes. "Oh he is fine." I crossed my arms, picking up that something was wrong. "What happened?" She sighed. "Well I found out some stuff about him. And well, you know how he saves people in fires and accidents and so on? Which is why he helped me? Well I found out the reason why he does this and it was pretty alarming."

I walked over to her and gave her a hug. She started to slightly cry. "He helps others in those situation because his entire family died in a fire when he was 7. He just went into full detail about it with me and it was just so awful! Then all that just made me think of my own- " She started to choke up. "It's fine Chavi, you don't need to continue." Chavi lost her parents and brother in a fire. I took her home and then headed for my house.

--Seti POV--

He sat there with his arms crossed. "No."  I growled in frustration. "Why? I'm not grounded anymore! I'm just asking to go into town! It's not like I'm asking to leave the country!" He did a slight laugh. "Complain all you want, my answer's not going to change." I let out another frustrated growl before I took my crown off my head and threw it at him. He let out a slight laugh, giving my crown a quick glance before looking back at me. 

"Throw a tantrum all you want Seti, the answer will still be no." He responded calmly. "I AM SO SICK OF THIS! No-No-No- IT'S ALWAYS NO WITH YOU! Didn't your mother ever teach you any other words? Oh yeah that's right! She killed herself! Probably because she hated this place too! Actually! MAYBE SHE JUST HATED YOU"

I guess I hit a nerve because he reacted. "Seti! That's enough! Now get out!" I stubbornly sat on the ground. "You listen to me right now or-" "Or what? You'll spank me? Go ahead! It's not like I give a care anymore! You're already ruining my life anyway!" He was about to answer when he was interrupted by my mom who had just walked in.

"Both of you knock it off! Your both fighting like children it's ridiculous! First Darius, stop being unfair and let him go to town." My father made a face at her. "Don't tell me what to do..." My mother dropped her smile. "Oh you want to go there do you... Perhaps we should talk about a certain death of a certain guard that you-"

"Okay fine! He can go!" She smiled clearly feeling victorious. I found a smile growing on my own face. "Only for an hour though; and he has to have guards with him." I felt my smile immediately drop. "Darius..." My mother interceded. "No! That's my final offer." She got a evil smile on her face "Alright, gave it your way. Then you shouldn't mind if I tell our son about how 11 years ago you.." He started getting a panicked look. "Alright fine! 5 hours......... But no more then that..........And he still has to have guards.........."

She smiled. "Fine, the guards will stay but don't be surprised if a couple of stories start spreading into the Kingdom about how you-" To say I was confused was an understatement. Just what is going on here? It seems she is blackmailing him about something. "Alright no guards! Where did people come up with the idea that your kind hearted? I swear your pure evil." He said muttering the last part to himself. She gave him a look but let it slide. "And second, Seti! Apologize to your father about what you said.... It was rude and I won't have my son acting or talking like that..." I just pouted while muttering a. "Sorry." She crossed her arms. "Sorry what?" Irritation filled me. "Sorry I told you your mother hated you!" I said begrudgingly.

My father just glanced at me, having a look that said he could care less about what was happening here. She smiled while messing up my hair and I hit her hand off. "Don't do that!" She laughed at my reaction and kept doing it while I kept hitting her hand off. Then my dad caught a look of amusement while coming over and messing up my hair too. "Stop it!" They continued ruffling my hair. I don't know why but they were getting some kind of secret enjoyment out of this.

After a long period of messing my hair up, my parents eventually forgot I was even there and started making out. Right in front of me....... "Eww! What are you? Gross!" I said while slowly backing my way out of the room. I watched my father stop for a few seconds just to roll his eyes at me and say. "Teenagers..........................Be back by 9 or else." Then they started kissing............Again.

"Yeah I know." I said, utter disgust evident in my voice. They started talking to each other in between kisses. "Hey Safiya maybe we should take this to a bed." My mom let out a snort. "I told you no! Not this close together. One kid at a time." My dad kissed my mom's lips once more before saying. "Oh come on you know you want to feel-" "AHH!" I shouted while running out of  the room as fast as I could. Luckily, I didn't hear the rest of that conversation, nor the sentence.

--Aziza POV--

My old nanny was changing my bandages from the whipping I had 2 days ago. "You really don't have to do this." I told her. She just smiled. "No sweety it's fine."  Then she patched up the last bit of my injuries. "Aziza! AZIZA WHERE ARE YOU?" I tied up my dress. "Coming!" Then I rushed downstairs."What is it mam?" I asked Retza, my step sister. She gave me a look of disgust. "I left my shoe at the market..... Go fetch it for me." I bowed to her. "Yes mam I will fetch it immediately." And the I made my way to town. "Oh hey!" I looked over in the direction the voice; to notice it was Seti. "Hey...... It's you. I haven't seen you in awhile" I said with a smile on my face.

He smiled and ran up to me. "Yeah sorry I got grounded." He said while awkwardly scratching his head. I looked at him with confusion edged in to my face. "Why?" I asked. He just started awkwardly laughing. "Oh because my father and I hate each other." He said in a joke like matter. I could feel the abhorrence behind his voice. Why would he have such a negative vibe coming off him regarding his father? He must of sense my concern because then he let out a laugh while saying. "Never mind, I was joking. Hey so I was wondering, are you a slave?" He said changing the topic. I gave him a questioning look. "What does it matter?"

He gave a look of ignorance. "Just wondering..." I slightly smiled at him. "Technically speaking, no I'm not, but treatment wise, yes I am." I watched as confusion filled his features. "That doesn't make any since." I just smiled. As slow as ever I see. Then I gave him a smile before laughing and reaching to fluff up his hair. "Don't!" He yelled, hitting my hand away in the process. "Why?" I asked in alarm. He made a face. "Because it's annoying." I just started laughing. "Why are you laughing?" He asked. I caught my breath and smiled. "No reason." He gave me a strange look. "How creepy, you strangely remind me of my mom" My smile grew. "Thanks I'll take that as a compliment." You know on second thought... He hasn't really changed all that much. Not really.
