I ran towards her as I saw them walking towards a car. I stopped once I was close, he face was to other direction.

"Rose!" I called still not believing that she is the same girl I saw with him. She turns with a smile on my face which disappeared when she saw me.

"Y.. you.." she stuttered as she looked shock.

"Your baby is cute" I said looking at the baby, she followed my gaze and looked back at her husband who was putting the baby in the back seat.

"Look... I am... " she looked baffled, I was close to crying.

"Why did he lied to me? Just tell me that?" I was on the brink of crying.

"I am sorry I can't tell you, its his secret to tell" she looked sorry.

"He is my friend, he told me he wanted my help and asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend" she said and a tear fell down my eye. He did that on purpose but why? Was he so irritated by me that he wanted to get rid of me so desperately?

"I can't believe" I said more to myself. She took my hand in her as she gave me a sorry look.

"Look I don't know why I am telling you this and I might get in trouble telling you this but..." she paused as she looked at me.

"He wasn't your Mr handsome" she told me and I felt like I can't breath anymore. She saw the shock on my face.

"He was Marcus, he was helping his friend, your Mr Handsome" she told me and I felt immense anger and hurt but above that I felt disappointed I myself.

"Can you tell me who is his friend?" I asked.

"Sorry I don't know him personally, he rarely meet anyone. But I can tell you where you would find Marcus" she told me and this made me a little relieved. She told me about his location and his phone number. I wanted to confront Mr Hunter but I don't want to do this on phone. I want to know why he did what he did to me.

"I am sorry again" she said as she hugged me and then went off. Hailey came to me and when she saw my face she hugged me as I cried in her arms. I didn't told her anything and she didn't force me to either which I was grateful for.

I went back home without taking anymore classes. Mary saw my sullen face but didn't said anything. I was deeply hurt, I felt betrayed. I cried in my room the whole time, I tried to call him but stopped every time. I want to know first why he did what he did.

When night falls I went out still in the clothes I was wearing for university. I haven't changed, I couldn't find my coat so I pull out the first thing I had my hands on and it turns out to be Hunter's jacket. When I wore it I was completely engulfed in it but it was warm and ... comfortable.

I made my way outside she told me about his home address which was few miles away from here. I hailed a cab.

When the car drops me infront of a building I hesitated a little. But the building was nice nothing like Jack's one. I made my way inside and took the elevators to the 6th floor. The building was small and less luxurious then mine but it still was good enough.

The lift door opened and I walked outside, I found his door and ringed the bell. All this time I was nervous and angry. Did he really think that I am a stupid girl?

"Who is it?" Someone asked from inside. When I heard the voice I mow realise why I didn't get the feelings when I first saw him in that park. My heart wasn't admitting but I was too blind and desperate. I ringed the bell again.

"I am coming!" He yelled loudly somewhat irritated as if I care.

"Who the hell..." He opened the door shouting but stopped when his gaze fell on me.

"Pr... princess" his eyes wide with shock and those eyes widen more with what I did next. I slapped him hard, across the face. For a moment I felt immense pain in my hand due to impact but I was too far gone to care.

"What... why would you do this?" He asked with shock. How can I even think for a second that he could me him. They are nothing alike even though I haven't seen him yet I know enough about him.

"Why? Why did you do lied to me?" I yelled at him, my insides burning with rage.

"What are you .. talking about?" He had the guts to ask me questions.

"You clearly know what I am talking about" I yelled at him.

"Princess I.." I slapped him again this time more harder than before. His face turned left by the impact and my hand numbs for a second.

"Don't. Call. Me. Princess!" I gritted under my teeth. Does he really think he can call me that.

"But ... I don't know your name" he said making a face.

"Who told you to do that? Who is Mr Handsome?" I asked and cringed at the name I gave him. It was only meant to be heard by him. It never felt weird when I called him that but now talking to others it felt so weird calling him that.

"Who told you?" He gasped.

"Does it matter? Tell me who is he, now!" I yelled again, he cringed at my loud voice. I have never talked to someone like that before but what he did is unforgiveable.

"I can't..." He said and stepped back as if he was expecting me to slap him again which I would definitely have.

"Tell me or I will... I will kill you" I threatened him, he didn't take it seriously and frowned a little.

"Please" I changed my tone immediately, tearing up. When he saw my tears his gaze soften and he groaned as he closed his eyes.

"He will kill me" he said more to himself but I heard it.

"Who?" I asked wiping my tears.

"Your Mr Handsome" he sighed.

"But ... why would he do that to me... am I that worthless that he wanted to get rid of me so much. He could have just said no and I wouldn't have ever talked to him again" I said feeling hurt.

"You are not the problem here Prince..." I glared at him so he paused and cleared his throat.

"I mean ..." He stopped looking at me to give him my name.

"Alara" I bit out.

"You are not the problem here Alara, he is!" He told me with so much sincerity that I almost believed him. Almost!

"I don't understand..." I genuinely don't!

"It's his place to tell you that ..." He sighed as he rubbed his cheek. I almost felt bad but then thought about how he made me feel that day.

"Who is he? Please tell me..." I almost begged him. He looked at my face and thought for a moment as he was contemplating what to do. He looked sacred of him, who is he that made a grown man so scared of him?

"You... know him!" He said and I was confused for a second then it clicked. I don't know why but only one name came in my mind.

"H ... Hunter?" I asked in question but in my heart I already know the answer. I looked at him, I don't know what I want to hear yes or no.

Yes I wanted him to be my Mr Handsome but the possibility of him being him is driving something in me.

And then... he nodded and I exhaled heavily leaning by the wall. I sat on the ground infront of him as my legs gave out under me.
