Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 6 Do I have a heart?

“Gemma, I asked my parents to find a girl for me. They chose one. I’m only going to use her as a bait. And because of the situation, I’m more than sure I’ll be a widow soon.”

Her eyes widened more.

“You are marrying a girl to get her killed?”

I sighed.

“Yes, but this is only to keep you safe.”

Tears appeared in her eyes. I couldn’t stand a woman crying. It annoyed me. I pulled her into my embrace and kept her for a few seconds.

“But Gideon, what if you fell in love with her? And you are going to leave me?”

I laughed.

“That will never happen. I like you. Don’t even think about that.”

I kissed her lips. I didn’t do that often, but now I wanted to calm her down.

“I’ll call you soon, okay?”

“What kind of girl she is? Where did she come from?”

“Gemma, stop it.”

“Answer me.” She yelled again, which annoyed me, but I tried to calm myself this time. I didn’t want to be mean to her.

“I don’t know, as I don’t care. Calm down, okay? I understand it’s not what you expected, but it has no meaning at all. Don’t even think about it.”

She nodded, still crying. I caressed her shoulders, turned around, and left. I sat in my car and I felt relieved. Honestly, I had nothing to do. I just wanted to leave quickly, avoiding the argument between us. I turned the engine on and drove back home.

I had a nice and huge house in Santa Monica. I loved it.

I took my clothes off, and I jumped into my pool to swim a bit. After I was done, I just laid down, enjoying the sunshine. My phone interrupted me. That was my mum again.
