Chapter Eleven

ELLA

After I say his name, I snap my mouth closed. Where did Prince come from and why is he holding Jace’s hand? Are they friends? Of course they are. He was at the party, but then again, everyone with money was invited.

“You’ve met Ella before?” Jace asks, glancing between Prince and me.

“Ella,” Prince repeats. How can one word make goosebumps rise over my entire body? Thankfully, my oversized sweatshirt hides them.

“I…ah, what’s your name?” I feel so stupid having to ask that question.

“Prince,” Jace answers for him and gives me a strange look.

“Leo Prince.” My mystery man gives me his full name, and it finally fills in the blanks. So he really was a Prince. At least I didn’t sleep with someone whose name I didn’t know.

“It’s nice to see you again. I’m just going to grab a muffin.” I can feel everyone's eyes on me as I move toward the breakfast island. Another man in a suit is sitting there with a giant smile on his face. Clearly he’s loving this surprise meeting.

“Join us,” the man says as his smile broadens. He nods to the chair next to him and then winks. “I’m Flynn.”

“Knock it off,” Prince snaps.

“What? There’s no need for her to rush off.” Flynn pulls out the chair, but I want nothing more than to run out of the kitchen as fast as possible. A million questions are swirling around in my mind. Plus, I’m a total mess right now. The last time Prince saw me, I was in a ball gown and made up from head to toe.

“Don’t you want your orange juice?” Oliver asks, already pouring me a cup. Then in French he tells me I should stay.

I hold Oliver's gaze, and I realize that he knows. Now I understand his reaction after I told him that I called the man Prince. Oliver knew who I was talking about, and I’m guessing he wanted to do some more digging before filling me in. It makes me wonder if there’s something wrong with Leo Prince if Oliver wasn’t quick to tell me who he was.

“Okay,” I agree and slip into the chair next to Flynn.

“I’d almost forgotten Cinder had a daughter. You’re about Zelly’s age,” Flynn says.

“Zelly?” I ask, and Flynn nods his head over toward Prince as he pops a bite of croissant into his mouth. Prince is staring at me, but I don’t think he’s stopped since I walked into the kitchen.

“She’s with Leo.” A small gasp leaves me, and Flynn’s brows lifts. “I’m surprised you haven’t met her. They keep you locked away in here or something?”

Oh god. Is that why Oliver didn’t want to tell me about Prince?

“I think I should—” I start to get up, but Prince moves quickly toward me, his hand going to the back of my chair to block me. Unless I want to rub against him to get by, I’m stuck.

“She’s my sister,” he rushes to say before staring down at me. Even in the high top chair, he still towers over me.
