Alex and Achilles sat side by side in the field for over an hour without uttering a single word to each other. Each of them had different thoughts running on their minds.

　　Achilles was still greatly dissapointed in his subjects and wished he could punish them severely for uttering such nonsense. It took him all his self control to not lose his temper back in that hall and beat the living hell out of his subjects. They totally went off topic.

　　He loved Bella like there was no tomorrow and nothing was ever going to make him give her up to any body. Not even death.

　　She was his life and the fact that she was carrying his child only made matters worse. He was never letting go of any of them.

　　Alex on the other hand was thinking about Bella. He had gone into her bedroom the night before to tuck her in bed and spend the night with her, but she woke up and later on and left him, just to go and meet Achilles in his bedroom.

　　To say that he was sad was understatement.

　　He was depressed!

　　The language in which Achilles spoke that morning made him understand that something had happened between them that night.

　　He could bet his life that Achilles and Bella had sex that night.

　　"Can you imagine those subjects?" Achilles finally broke the silence, but Alex rolled his eyes.

　　"I don't want to talk about that meeting. It's already agreed that Bella is going nowhere. No need to bring it up again" He explained and Achilles looked at him with creased brows.

　　"What the hell is wrong with you?"

　　"You. You are the hell that is wrong with me!" Alex pointed out and Achilles jerked backwards and pointed at himself in surprise.

　　"Me? How exactly?" He asked in disbelief.

　　"You are doing all you can to drive me crazy, aren't you?" He asked and Achilles laughed hysterically as he gave him a funny look.

　　"Me, trying to drive you crazy? Do you really think I have that much to waste? I don't have time and even I did, I won't waste it on you. I have more important things to do with my time"

　　"Like sleep with Bella?"

　　"I don't know what makes you say that, but yeah, you are right. I would rather spend my time making love to Bella than try to drive you crazy. Who the hell do you think you are?" Achilles asked as he scoffed and Alex grew more enraged.

　　"So you are admitting the fact that you and Bella are having sex." He asked between his teeth.

　　Achilles looked at him from head to toe and back to his face as he raised his left brow.

　　"Do you have a problem with that?" He asked carelessly.

　　"As a matter of fact, yes, I do have a problem with that. A big problem!"

　　"I'd like to hear it" Achilles said as he revered around to fully face his brother and try to understand what it is he was ranting about.

　　"You don't want to marry her, you two are not dating. You are in no relationship whatsoever with her, yet you sleep with her like you own her"

　　"I won't really say I own her, because she's not an object, but she's a woman. She's mine and I can sleep with her whenever I want." He explained confidently and Alex snorted in anger.

　　"You son of a bitch! What makes you think you have the right to say that? You have no formal relationship with her"

　　"The fact that I have announced it yet doesn't mean there's no relationship. Bella and I love each other and we have decided to be together. We will make that announcement publicly when we feel like it, so you have to wait. You are even lucky you now know what's going on."

　　Alex gritted his teeth in anger as he looked away.

　　Several minutes past and none of them said a word to each other.

　　"Do you even love her?" Alex suddenly asked and Achilles gave him a sharp gaze.

　　"Of course I do, why would you even ask that?"

　　"Because I think you don't!" Alex spoke out and fury burned in Achilles, but he decided to stay still.

　　He knew his brother was just saying things out of frustration because Bella did not love him back.

　　"Well… you are entitled to your own opinions, brother. If you think I don't love Bella, that's okay. The most important thing is that she she knows the truth"

　　"If at all that's true, what made you suddenly like her back. I thought you hated her."

　　"I have never hated Bella"

　　"Liar!" Alex darned and Achilles chuckled.

　　"Let me tell you something. The first time I met Bella was in the woods. I saved her from being attacked by rogues, just like you did. I fought the woods off and returned to her to make sure she was safe and the moment my eyes met hers, she stole my heart and till now , I have never been able to get it back from her. I never want to anyway, she can have it for the rest of her life. I was mean to Bella all those times because I was confused and I did not want to marry her for a reason you do not need to know. However, things have changed and I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm going to marry her regardless and I need you to back off. Find yourself a girl and leave Bella for me."

　　"And what what if I don't want to?" Alex dared.

　　"Then I'll make you do so the hard way. I want us to be as civil as we can about this issue Alex, so don't try to steal what's mine. You very well know that since childhood, I've never loved to share what belongs to me or lose it to someone else too. I'm still that spoiled brat who will fight to his death to keep that which belongs to him. So beware" He threatened with all seriousness and Alex was shook.

　　"Is that a threat?" Alex asked with a smirk.

　　"Oh yes, it is." He agreed and rose on his feet. "And also, you are forbidden from going into Bella's bedroom at any time. If I meet you in there, I'll mess up that handsome face of yours." Then he shoved both hands in his trouser pockets and magestically walked away.

　　Alex chuckled softly as rolled his tongue all over his mouth and watched his brother leave.

　　The fight was indeed going to be bloody.
