Malachi Azure
Kai knew there would never be the words to express how much Kai wished he could change everything he did, to keep from hurting Jess like he had. In the beginning, it was all simply an inconvenience, something he had to do to try to protect his family. Family, what Kai valued most. Jess couldn’t believe it anymore, but she had become just as important. She was the one person who actually saw the real him, and he had fallen in love with her. Anna may have been the reason he asked her out that day in the bathroom, but she didn’t control what he told her about himself. He lied to her about Anna. He hid from her who his family was, like he kept from the rest of the world. Everything else became genuine as he got to know her, but that didn’t change how he lost her trust. He knew there was nothing he could do to change that. He broke her heart, because he had to tell her the truth… because he couldn’t lie to someone he loved. All Kai could do was to watch her leave. What a great birthday it was.
Kai awoke with a pounding headache. What else could be expected after the quantity of alcohol he had consumed that night. A night which he was hardly able to recall any of. He knew he had drunkenly brought a girl back to his place with him, though that night he didn’t care for a second who it was. It was just sex. A lot of it, just to fulfill a need. The alcohol took his mind off of the hell that his life was, the near future he could no longer avoid, and the sex was to fill the empty space left. As he woke up, he felt her bare skin against his body and her lips at his neck. Slowly opening his eyes to see her, despite the unpleasantness of his hangover with the sunlight shining through the windows, there was an instant of hoping that the girl was Jess, but at her words, calling him Malachi, there was the confirmation that it was not her. It was the girl who shared her face. The person he hated more than anyone else, Anna Pierce. Though a part of him very clearly wanted more at her mention of another round after the night they had, his head just wanted her gone. “Anna. Get the hell out of my bed.” What had led to Kai getting wasted enough to sleep with Anna you may ask. It was simple, he had spent the previous night at a bachelor party, his bachelor party.
After his birthday, word got to his parents about where he was. That he was at Cerulean high playing the game that he wasn’t allowed to win. He was set to take over the game whether he wanted to or not. An argument ensued, and though they came to an agreement that he could remain at Cerulean high to finish the final few weeks until graduation with his cousin, the announcement was made official. Just what Kai had been dreading for over a year, the announcement of his engagement.
News Report
It’s been three years since Crown Princess Angela was nearly killed in a failed assassination attempt, and announced that she would not have any heirs of her own, meaning for her twin sister to take the throne after her. Since then, the royal family has found an individual suitable to become Princess Eva’s husband as a prince and the future king. Though this comes as a surprise since the man she is engaged to marry is not of royal blood, or even the nobility, but instead a young American from an influential family in New York. We have been unable to get a statement from the prince-to-be himself, but we have heard confirmation from the families that the royal wedding between Princess Eva and Malachi Azure will be on the 13th of this June.
The news of the arranged marriage first broke in the country Kai’s fiancé was the princess of, but it wasn’t long before the news spread everywhere. Kai’s parents had arranged for him to marry a princess, who he still hadn’t even met yet, a week after he graduated high school, and he had no choice in the matter. That’s why, the night before Cerulean high’s final soccer game Kai was drinking because of his bachelor party for a wedding he didn’t want to happen.
