Forbidden Love.

Roselyn Carter's pov.

This house where I was brought up with my parents will be empty tomorrow. All the things reminds me of my parents . How we used to enjoy each other's company but one accident changed everything. My dad got into a car accident and died on the spot and this news left a shock to my mom which leads to the heartattack. I lost my purpose of living on that day. My friends came visited me everytime to console me. I did not have anything left for me. My friends wanted to help me but I refused it. I decided to drop my studies. I used to live alone in my house until my aunt got to know about this accident. She immediately visited me and convinced me to come with her. I agreed to her after a lot of thinking.

It has been 2 weeks since that incident. Today she is taking me with her to the palace which is the only palace in our Mandonia town. But it's really hard to leave all the memories here. I want to spend my whole lifetime here but I know living like a dead person won't satisfy my parents , they won't be happy with this condition.

"Roselyn... where are you? What is taking you so long? Come fast. We are getting late." After getting no response, my aunt came to me and again asked. I was crying silently.

"Baby what ar.....oh no don't cry. Look whatever has happened is none of your fault. Come lets go". She said while trying to stand me up.

My aunt is just like my mom. They both grew up together in orphanage. my mom and dad met in one of the charity event and they got married to each other after realising their feelings. After that my aunt was left alone in the orphanage. One day she got the opportunity through someone to work as a maid in the palace. From that day, she work there.

One last time I looked back to see my home, it was looking so peaceful. I wiped my tears and got inside the car along with my aunt. I was looking outside of the window. Suddenly the car stopped abruptly just then my eyes caught a beautiful breath-taking mansion. 'It must be the palace' I thought in my mind.

My aunt is the most trusting personal maid of this palace, so when she talked about bringing me to this palace the king agreed without hesitation.

"Come Roselyn". My thoughts got interrupted by my aunt's voice. I immediately got off and walked towards the palace with my aunt. When we entered I was greeted by the magnificent interior design with tall ceilings throughout, an abundance of natural light in the hallway, it was as wide and inviting as a reception room, the impressive staircase which leads to different floors and flows to the principal rooms. I got out of my trance of thoughts when my aunt started telling me about my job. At first I was hesitated because when my parents was alive my mom never used to let me do anything because she always considers that I should study and work hard and should not invest my time in doing the household chores. But as the things are different now so I have to do this. If I want to be busy beacuse now it is the thing which can make me busy. My eyes moved to the stairs from where the king along with some men was coming towards our way. My aunt immediately bowed to him which I also repeated. She forwarded towards the king and maybe he asked something to my aunt to which she nodded. I think they were talking about me as he was looking towards me whenever my aunt says something to him.

"So you are Roselyn, hope you will be as faithful and hard-working as your aunt. Do not make me regret my decision of allowing you here. I do not want any confidential news to go out this palace. I assume that your aunt has already told you the consequences of doing so. Other than that, good luck with your work." With this he he went away.

'Ohh.. that's the reason why I never get to know anything much about them.' My friends used to tell me few things but I never paid attention to it. 'Uhhh...who thought that one day I will end up here.'

"Ok Roselyn, I need to go somewhere. If you want something, ask one of the staff. They are very helpful and kind and yeah the kitchen is over there." My aunt said with a smile to which I nodded.

I went to the kitchen and mesmerized by the look, the kitchen is simply beautiful, Clean lines, large work surfaces, impressive island, high-end built-in units. I started wondering around the kitchen then suddenly I heard few staff talking about something. I was not interested but they were whispering so loudly that my ear was hearing everything they were gossiping about.

"You know, when I was passing by the corridor I heard king discussing about the arrival of Prince ?" By the tone of her voice it seems like she was feeling some kind of excitement.

"ohh finally he is coming back after so many years. But wait what must be the reason of his arrival. As far as I heard from the rumours he is very stubborn and he never wanted to come here" Another voice said.

"Hmmm... that's true. There must be some important reason.....uhh...Maybe for queen. Her health is also deteriorating. I heard that she always mumbles his name. "

I forwarded near to them and when they saw me they stopped talking. one of the girl eyed me and rudely walked passed me. The other girl simply says hii to me to which I also replied with the same friendly tone.

"You're new here. Am I right?"

"Yes"

"I am Mia and the one whom I was talking to was Jenny. Don't pay attention to her. At first she behaves like this to the new staff then she gets familiar with that person." She said when she saw her going with a grumpy face.

"Ohh... it's fine.. by the way I am Roselyn" I introduced myself to her.

"I know your aunt. She told me yesterday about your loss. I am so sorry. If you need any help, you can ask me." She said with a smile.

"Sure" I replied to her.

She left me after saying goodbye. I also headed to do my work.

Sebastian Orlando's Pov.

Currently I am in Italy , sitting in a one of the famous club, talking to my friends. Though I am enjoying their company, my mind is still thinking about the conversation which I had with my dad a few days back.

Flashback.

I was standing in the balcony sipping my morning coffee then I heard my phone ringing. I took out my phone from my pocket and when I saw the caller's name I got furious as it has been fucking 20 years but he never cared about me now he is calling me. Yes the only person who sent me here aka my dad is calling me. At first I thought of not picking it up but to avoid the wrath of my dad... I picked it up.

"Have u called me by mistakenly I mean how could you remember me. I thought that you have already forgotten about your only son. But I guess I was wrong because I a..." I couldn't complete my sentence because of my dad's warningful voice.

"I think you have forgotten that I am your dad and every father thinks better of their son. Why don't you understand that I did it for your own's benefit otherwise it would have been worse for you if I hadn't sent you away from here and don't you dare use that tone on me ever." He angrily warned me.

"Ohh common dad, come to the point I know that u didn't call me just because you are missing me ..the matter is something else. So please so called dad, the king of Mandonia town .. do me a favour by giving me the actual reason of your calling and stop beating around the bush" I was asking him I mean more like I was mocking him because I know that he hasn't called me just because he is missing me. The matter must be something else.

"I don't want to argue with you on the phone .. I will only deal with you personally but for now I just want to tell you that you have to come here to the Mandonia kingdom and you can't refuse it because I, the king not your dad is ordering you and als.." I cut him off in the middle.

"But why should I come now... don't you think you should leave me here until I become an old man."

"Don't you dare open your open when I was talking to you. You have to come anyhow. I will send the jet there and a chauffeur will come there at the airport to pick you up once you land here ." He said.

"Do you really think I'll come back after you made my life a living hell." I asked him.

"Hmm...Don't worry son, you know me very well. I know everything about you though you are not living here. You know what am I trying to say. I'll freeze all of your accounts then what would you do other than coming here." He threatened me. I knew it.

"Why can't you leave m...." He didn't let me complete my sentence and said.

"No further arguments. You are coming here. That's it." He cut the call even before I object.

'Holy shit'. I greeted my teeth.

Flashback end.

I was so engrossed in my yesterday thoughts that I did not come to know that I was gripping the glass in my hand so hard that it could be broken at any minute if my friend Would not have snatched it from my hand.

"Hey dude what happened??" Thank god, I just took this wine glass out of your hand. Noah said while keeping the wine glass on the table away from me.

"Actually my dad called me a few days back just to fucking tell me to come back." I greeted my teeth.

"Oh. So that's the problem. I have been thinking that why are you behaving so strangely these days. You could have told us before. Its not that you have to go anyhow. I mean you don't have to obey his command everytime." He said sitting on the chair beside me.

"You don't understand Noah. He threatened me. If I don't go then he will freeze all my accounts." I covered my face with both of my palms.

"But you already own five star Hotel which is so famous here .How much more money do you want ?" He asked me while sipping his wine.

"You are not getting my point. Though I have so much money but still my dad is more powerful. I am still in the struggling stage. It won't take him one minute to destroy anything." I told him frustratingly.

"Btw, did he tell you the reason?......I mean why he called you after so many years precisely 20 years." He said.

" I dont know the reason man , he just told me or more like warned me to come that's it. I am just fed up of all these stuff. I don't wanna go back there. I have already forgotten that I carry a prince tag with myself" I told them frustratingly. I was not able to think properly what should I do beacuse I knew it that if I go back there I won't be able to enjoy all these freedom and will have to stuck up with the tradition of our family that is to carry out the duties of a future king. I just don't wanna waste my time in carrying those saint duties. I already have my own way to earn money without moving any inch of my body.

"One red wine.....hey, what are you both gossiping like two ladies." My other friend Alex who is always acts like a joker asked me.

"Nothing important that concerns you. You go and have fun with those brunettes." I ignored the topic.

"I need to go now. I have to reach the airport also." I got off my seat before noah tell him my problem. I just dont want to discuss about it anymore.

"Wait. What! Airport? Are you going somewhere ? Alex threw his drink on the table as soon as I completed my sentence.

"Sebastian is going to his hometown." Noah said.

"But why is..." One girl stood in front of him interupting him. "can you please come later. I'll call you... Yeah so why is he going?" Alex asked with a shocked expression after sending the girl with a flirting wink.

"Dude, please, Noah will tell you on the the way. Now I need to go as I haven't packed my clothes yet." I took my jacket from the chair and was about to go when Alex stopped me.

"Ok, tell me later. But if you go then who will handle your hotel business."

"Yeah. I forgot. As you already know everything about my business so I handing this to you both to look after it till I come back here." I said. Truly speaking, I trust both of them. Yesterday I completed most of my pending work so that they won't have to be stressed out.

"Don't worry about that. We will surely handle it. You just focus on your problem and come back quickly."

Noah gave me 'bro hug'. And Alex was still processing our conversation.

I walked towards him and patted his shoulder and gave him bright smile.

'20 years' I thought and got inside my Bugatti.

Roselyn's pov.

I was roaming here and there just to find my aunt but as I don't know much about the every corner of mansion I thought of asking someone about my aunt. I saw a girl cleaning the living hall. I went to her and asked her. At first she didn't get about whom I was asking. Then she remembered. She told me that she is with the Queen in her bedroom which is on second floor. 'Most of the staff here looks so young except my aunt.' I started my walking towards the second floor. There were so many doors. Every door was same except one. ' I think it must be the Queen's room.' I proceeded towards that door. I was really curious to know about Queen as I heard mia talking about her health. And also when I was in college, whenever any event was organised, only the king used to be there even though both of them were invited. My legs came to a halt. I knocked at the door. After sometime my aunt opened the door. As I went inside, I got shocked by seeing the condition of the queen. She was sitting on the bed peacefully but what surprised me was her immovable condition. I bowed to the queen but she neither said anything nor moved her face. She was mumbling something which I couldn't understand so I turned to my aunt to ask.

"Aunt, what is the Queen mumbling. Is she saying something to me? I am not getting anything." My aunt did not say anything and quietly took me outside of the bedroom.

"Actually, dear, Queen is having a amnesia and because of this she doesn't remember anyone. It is like she has lost her memory .She neither speaks to anyone nor she gives any sign to anyone. when I came to palace for the first time her condition wasn't like this but something bad happened and she lost her memories and from that day I got the job of feeding her. I mean all her doings are done by me. She was very sweet and caring but from that incident she hardly talks to anyone even the king is not able to recover her condition. She always talks about prince as he is the only one whom she remembers clearly but as we already know that prince is not here so we don't say much about prince to her."

I didn't understand that how can a son be away from his mother for so long .. doesn't he remember her or doesn't he want to see her after such incident.

"Which incident are you talking about which caused this?" I asked her curiously.

"I just know that she slipped from the stairs while coming hastily from the king's room and after slipping so hard, she got unconscious. We called the doctor immediately. After checking, he said that due to the severe damage to her brain, she can lose her memory and he was right. When she opened her eyes, she did not recognise anyone. The king called so many experts but none of them were able to treat her. And also that was the day when prince was sent away from here to Italy. She always says his name and nothing else." She told me.

"If the prince knows about this incident then why is he not coming after so many years? He should have been with her right now rather than staying in the Italy." I asked my aunt with a little bit of disappointment.

"No..no.. prince doesn't know about queen's condition. The king has not told anything to him till now. That incident happened just after few minutes when prince's car ran away.

"Why?? he should know about it. If she says his name all the time then don't you think aunt that only he can help her by recovering all her missing memories." I told my aunt with concern.

"Actually dear, the king did not tell him and also he has forbidden everyone to tell him about this...I don't know why king didn't reveal anything about this to prince till now. She said sadly.

"Leave it, do you need something?" She asked me.

"uhh..yeah. I wanted to know my room." I told my aunt.

"I forgot to tell you...let's go....I'll show you you room" My aunt told me while walking away from the Queen's bedroom with me.

At night.....

I was taking a nap in my room. My aunt's room was just next to my room. I was again lost in my childhood memories. Sometimes I think what would have been the current situation if my parents were alive. Though I don't have any problem with the current situation but if the situation were different I would have been studying , having a conversation with my friends even though I did not have many friends. I hardly had three friends. They told me to call them once I reach here but I did not know about the rules here and among them was the rule of not having phone so before I enter here my phone was taken away. I signed and turned to right side of my bed.

Why my life has turned into a nightmare. It would have been better if only I had stopped my dad on that thunderous rainy day then I would have been with my parents now, enjoying every little bit of their time. I sat up on the bed and moved to the window. I was looking at the moon, then I saw many luxurious black cars outside the palace. A man came out the the car, he was tall but I couldn't see his face. There were some bodyguards with him and they were following him. He stopped before he could go inside and his face moved up to my window balcony. I couldn't see his face beacuse it was so dark. After sometime he moved his face away from my balcony and walked towards the palace with the bodyguards. I went to my bed after closing the curtains. I was still thinking about him I mean I haven't seen him. Actually I hardly met everyone in the mansion so he could be someone among them but how can someone come here at night with so many bodyguards...he must be close to the king. I shrugged off my thoughts and drifted off to the sleep.
