Simon stood in front of prince Reagan with the aim of explaining what really happened between him and Celia but wasn't fast enough as Prince Reagan spoke up first.
"Celia got a decree from the late king asking that I remain with her till death but now that the king is dead. The decree has become useless, I've sent her far away. I've broken all connection with her but I kept the one person I know you'll need badly, your son. She doesn't deserve Frank."
Prince Reagan's words surprised Simon a lot. He has done so much within a short period of time. He opened his mouth again to speak.
"I'm..I'm sorry for not revealing it to you the moment I found out Frank is my son. I was shocked and I didn't want you to stop trusting me so I bailed." Simon spoke bitterly.
"Look, Simon it doesn't matter anymore. Your explanation doesn't matter at this point. I'm discharging you, I've decided. You need a life of your own too." Prince Reagan interjected.
"Wh..what?" Simon gasped. Although he expected it but he didn't expect it so soon. Again!
"You are getting rid of me?" He asked. Prince Reagan sighed before standing up to his feet, he walked closer to Simon and stood face to face with him.
"Like I said, you need a life of your own. You can't remain as my personal guard forever. I've decided, you'll be provided with anything you want. Businesses of your own, houses, anything you want. You won't be treated like your brother who betrayed me. You are different from him." Prince Reagan said calmly.
"It's the same thing. You wouldn't have thought on letting me go to live my own life if..if I hadn't kept the info from you. It doesn't change the fact that you are getting rid of me because you can no longer stand or trust me." Simon said sounding bitter, furious and angry at the same time.
Prince Reagan lifted his hand and placed it on his shoulder to calm him down a bit.
"I heard you are reaching out to someone. Go get her, make her pregnant and then spend the rest of your life with her peacefully. You will always remain my friend and no, I still trust you. Of course I am mad at you for not revealing such things to me but the good things you have done for me has far outweighed that very act."
"I don't want you thinking you betrayed me. You never did. I just want to free you, have your own life too. You are a guy like me," Prince Reagan concluded before bringing his hand down from Simon's shoulder.
Without uttering another word, Simon left his room. Obviously not taking the news well.
Hell, he wasn't planning on leaving the prince's side anytime soon and Celia has succeeded in making that happen. He suddenly came to a halt when he saw little Frank standing by the wall with candy in his mouth.
This little guy, this little guy is my son, the thought filled Simon's head as he squatted down to become eye level with Frank.
***A month and few weeks later***
**America. London**
The door bell rang and Derek lazily dragged his foot to the door. He opened it to see Pink with a cap on.
'Sister," he quickly called before embracing her.
Pink held Derek tightly too. She has so much miss her lovely stubborn brother who is now grieving.
'Welcome. I needed you here," Derek said sniffing.
Pink walked into the apartment, dropping the bag with her at the door before locking it. She walked to the sitting room and sat down with Derek.
"So, how did it happen?" Pink asked. Her eyes running all over his body.
"Just two days ago. I..I went into her apartment and found her lying on the couch and she was so weak and tiny. I rushed towards her and held her up in my arms. She looked so relieved when she saw me, she told me she loved me but I didn't say it back."
"I couldn't properly return her feelings because I felt that I only pitted her condition but when she died immediately after those words. I realized that I was wrong, I...I loved her too."
"I just didn't realize it when she was alive. That saying is actually true, you won't know the value of what you have until you lose it."
"I've lost her and I regret not telling her how much I also loved her. I wish I can bring her back but I can't. I don't know what else to do," Derek sobbed while narrating Tess's death.
Pink pulled Derek into a hug. She patted his back to calm him down.
"I'm sorry, Derek. I'm sorry about that, I didn't even make up with her until she died."
"Maybe she wasn't entirely bad, maybe she wouldn't have joined that sêx club if she had supporters, families to care and guide her. I mis judged her but I'm glad you stood by her till her last minute," Pink said sadly still patting Derek's back as he cried.
"I want her back...I want her back," he sobbed.
"Oh my baby brother. I'm sorry," Pink cooed still rubbing his back.
After hours of consoling his grieving brother, she decided to go make something for them in the kitchen.
She stood up and went to the kitchen, admiring everything there. How she has missed this their apartment.
The door bell rang, she went out to answer the door. She opened it to see a man in suit there.
"Is this where Mr Derek..."
"Yes," Derek answered from behind.
"I know you," Derek said.
"Um..yes, unfortunately Tess had no relatives or siblings and she didn't waste her money either. She wrote in her will that you inherit everything she leaves behind. I should probably come in and explain more," the lawyer explained.
Pink turned to look at Derek, shocked that Tess could do such a thing but the whole thing seems to make Derek more sad as it only makes him remember her more.
Immediately after his exams, he had spent every minute with Tess. She was like a bug and couldn't go away no matter how he tried to push her away. Maybe spending time with her, kissing her, making out with her made him fall in love with her. Well, he didn't realize it early.

The lawyer left their apartment few minutes later leaving Pink to stare at the document in her hand.
"She was this rich. Holy Mary! That girl was this wealthy?" Pink kept exclaiming.
"Stop! Stop! I don't need anything from her. Stop it!' Derek half yelled in pain.
Pink dropped the document and went closer to him.
"I'm sorry Derek. It's better if you accept that she is gone. You...can't bring her back. I'm sorry," Pink apologized feeling guilty for bringing tears back into Derek's eyes.
It seems like he really loved her.
"Oh..my poor brother. Love doesn't seem to be on our side," she mumbled still consoling him.

Pink had left Thailand after things started returning back to normal. Prince Reagan has stopped grieving over his lost. But there was still one thing left unsolved, non of the brothers were willing to become the next king.
The royal counsel voted prince Reagan in but he turned them down without thinking twice. Pink thought he did it for her so that added to her desire to leave. She had to leave him, he had to think about whether he wanted to become the king or not. Also when Derek called her two days ago crying, she couldn't ignore her poor brother and Prince Reagan only let her go because of Derek.
Prince Reagan originally was proving stubborn. Placing guards all around her so she couldn't escape.
Well, maybe now he'll become the king and forget about me. Pink thought bitterly.
