My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 2

“Amiera Hale!” My father shouts my name, my body jumps. I’m not used to him speaking to me in that tone, but I should have expected it.

What I did was unacceptable for a woman with my status. I was a princess, someone who was supposed to prevent drama, and instead of doing that, I caused it.

But what was I supposed to do after learning about Bryan and Aria? Was I supposed to drop it and let it go?

I’ve played by the rules all of my life, been a good girl, always treated everyone with respect, and constantly stayed out of the drama. I never once attended any private parties that the rest of the royals held, and I’ve always done what my parents have asked of me.

So why should I get in trouble for acting out after what those two did to me?

“Your mother and I have grown you up to be better than this; why did you post that outrageous video for so many people to see?” he demands, “you’ve brought unnecessary attention to all of the royal families involved. How many times do I tell you that your actions do affect not only you but also that of your entire kingdom?”

I cross my arms over my chest and stubbornly lean back against the cushion, “Bryan and Aria both betrayed me, father. I’m sorry for what I did, but I do not regret my actions.”

“Amiera!” My mother exclaims. “You’ve never acted like this before. Do not let what those two did to you change the type of person that you are. You already have a hard time; why make it harder for yourself?”

I know what my mother was referring to, and I cringe in return.

I’m not only the girl whose boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. I’m a princess, but not just any princess; I’m the only royal fire whisperer with no control over fire. I’m an embarrassment to my people,

to my family, and to my friends. Anywhere I chose to go, there were always judging stares and whispers of how much of an embarrassment I was to my kingdom.

“Mother, I truly am sorry for bringing disgrace to my family once more, but I didn’t know how to react after seeing Bryan and Aria together. They are the two closest people to my heart, and they’ve betrayed me.” I cry.

My father’s cold stare changes to concern for a quick second before his duty as King takes over once more.

“You need to do some damage control; as such, we have organized a conference today where you will make an official apology to all of the families involved as well as their people.”

My jaw drops at my father’s words, “why should I be the one to apologize?”

If anything, Aria and Bryan should be over here trying to apologize to me!

“Amiera, like I just said to you, your actions not only affect you, it also affects your family and kingdom. To avoid any problems from the other royals, I will need your cooperation.” He says to me. I can tell that his patience is growing thin, and it will be wise for me to shut up now and do as he says. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

I sigh, “yes, father. I will put aside my feelings once again for that of my kingdom.”

Who cares about what I think? I’m the fire whisperer that always disappoints those around her. Of course, my feelings would not matter to anyone. No one.

Later that day, there is a large crowd outside my palace, and a stage has already been set up for my family and me. Father is already there addressing the public, and he’s just spoken my name. I know that it’s time for me to face everyone and apologize for something I wouldn’t have had to do if I was any other average person.

“Princess Amiera will make a formal apology to all of you for what she has done. She understands the seriousness of her actions and is willing to make up for them in whatever ways that she can.”

I walk onto the stage and see that all eyes are on me; I don’t want to look into their judgemental faces, there were primarily adults here, and they always saw me as the biggest disgrace our kingdom has ever had.

I open my mouth to speak, and that’s when I see movement from the corner of my eye. Suddenly there are gasps from the crowd, and I turn to see what all the commotion was about.

To my horror, it’s the freaking bastard that caused all of this in the first place.

Why the hell is he here? Who on earth thought that it was a good idea to invite my cheating boyfriend to this thing? He hasn’t once sent a text apologizing or tried to contact me at all. He didn’t visit, none of that, but yet here he is, the day that I have to make a public apology for my actions?

“I would like to say something before Amiera does, ” he announces.

My eyebrows draw together; what could he possibly have to say now?

“I would like to make an official apology to Amiera. She has loved me whole-heartedly for all of these years, and I’ve, ” his voice breaks, and he shakes his head. “I’ve failed her.”

Fake! This was all fake! His family must have also forced him to do it, or he’s trying to make the people feel sorry for him despite what he’s done. Whatever reason it was, this apology was all fake.

I was so done with all of the lies and pretense. I could feel the anger flowing through my veins, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before I snapped.

He turns to me, “I’m so sorry, Amiera. I hope that you can find it in yourself to forgive me.” I can see that he doesn’t mean this; I’ve known him long enough to know it.

Was I not deserving of a heartfelt apology? A damn stranger would show more emotion than him!

That’s it. I’m over his pathetic schemes.

“f**k YOU, BRYAN!” I scream.
