The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid
Chapter 377: Behind My Back

Chapter 377: Behind My Back

The easy-going atmosphere between us was completely gone, and in its place was an awkwardness that I truly disliked.

“Don’t worry, I’m very happy for you, but at the same time I am a little worried,” I said while trying to keep my tone light.

“I’m very sorry,” she apologized with a tone heavy with regret.

“There’s no need for you to apologize. I just hope that you’re okay,” I said as I quickly grabbed her hand in mine.

Selena finally looked at me and I hated the sad look in her eyes. She seemed hesitant to tell me about anything, but I still felt like I needed to ask.

“What happened? How did this happen?” I asked.

“I’m sorry for keeping this from you,” she replied without any kind of explanation.

“I guess it doesn’t really matter. I just hope that you’re doing well and that you’re happy with Prince Darius,” I said as I gave her hand a squeeze.

Selena looked at me with tears swimming in her eyes before she nodded her head slightly. It felt like that was all the confirmation that I needed for me to feel relieved. Although I wasn’t sure what had happened between her and Prince Darius, it seemed that Selena wasn’t unhappy and perhaps their relationship wasn’t forced.

“How long have you been together with the prince? Is he treating you well?” I asked calmly before showing her a friendly smile.

“I’m sorry for not telling you before this. The prince told me to keep it a secret,” she ended up apologizing once again.

“It’s not your fault. I completely understand why you had to keep this a secret,” I replied.

Although I wished that she would have told me about her relationship with Prince Darius, I knew that she wasn’t to blame if the prince wanted her to keep it a secret.

“It’s not just that,” Selena said before trailing off with a hesitant look on her face.

“What else is there? You’re pregnant now, so you should focus on being happy and healthy for the sake of yourself and also your baby,” I said a little cheerfully.

“You’re always so kind to me,” Selena murmured.

“Of course, you’re my friend,” I replied with a bright smile.

To my dismay, Selena did not return my smile and instead she looked even more troubled than before.

“I was spying on you,” she confessed so suddenly after a moment of silence that I was caught off guard.

“What do you mean? What do you mean that you were spying on me?” I asked as I wondered if I had misheard her.

“I am very sorry, Mila,” Selena murmured without meeting my eyes.

How could that be? Was Selena really spying on me?

Her confession made me dizzy and I couldn’t quite understand what she meant when she said that she had been spying on me.

“I don’t understand. What do you mean?” I asked as I felt my brows draw together in a frown.

I didn’t quite know how to react because I could hardly believe what she had just told me.

“Trust me, I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t mean to spy on you,” she said with clear regret in her voice.

“Was it something that Prince Darius asked you to do?” I stated the guess that quickly came to mind.

I didn’t think that Selena was the type of person who would begin spying on me out of her own free will and that meant that someone must have told her to do it. Although I hated the feeling that overcame me, I tried to remain calm and tell myself that I shouldn’t get angry with her. Instead of replying to my question with words, Selena merely nodded her head.

“I see. Don’t worry, I’m sure that you had your reasons. I’m not mad at you,” I said while I sort of wondered if that was entirely true.

Although her actions might have started as a result of some kind of desperation, I couldn’t help but realize that she must have gotten closer to Prince Darius as a result of that.

“I am sorry, but trust me, I didn’t tell him anything unless it was very necessary,” Selena said with pleading eyes.

“What did you tell him exactly? Why did he ask you to spy on me? What did he want to know so badly about?” I asked her so many questions at once as my curiosity started taking over.

I didn’t think that there was anything interesting about my life that would interest Prince Darius enough for him to convince Selena to spy on me.

“Very random things. Most of the time, he was interested in your relationship with Prince Leonard,” Selena confessed in a shaky voice.

“My relationship with Prince leonard?” I repeated her words as I began to connect the dots.

But why would Prince Darius be so interested in my relationship with Prince Leonard?

“Yes, he made me report to him how about you and the prince. I didn’t tell him any details, I just told him when you went out with the prince or whenever the prince came over,” she said solemnly.

It finally started to make sense how Selena would show interest whenever I began talking about Prince Leonard. It seems that all along she wasn’t just asking those questions because she was genuinely interested in the development of my relationship with the prince, but she had to do so to report on it to Prince Darius.

“Is that how you became his lover?” I asked before I could hold myself back.

I must say that I have become much bolder ever since my relationship with the prince developed. I found it much easier to talk to other people, given the fact that I also found it easier to talk to the prince.

“I’m sorry,” she repeated her apology once again.

By that time I was convinced that no matter what I asked her, all she would do was apologize. Perhaps it was because she didn’t know what else she could possibly say or perhaps it was because Prince Darius had told her to keep her mouth shut about it.
