Chapter: Final Battle 2The blades clinked and arrows flew in the air. The groans of men who were injured were loud and often heard at an interval. The rain drenched most of the knights, who were still alive and injured, and those who were dead and laid in the pool of their own blood. The rain quenched most of the fire ignited during the war. George drew his sword and slain the enemy in front of him. The man groaned and grimaced in pain. He coughed out blood and fell flat on his face. George watched him airily and smiled at his achievements. "Your Majesty, watch out!" A knight said loudly. He was injured and laid on the ground. Before George could turned his head round, part of his face was splattered with blood. Williams had killed the man before he attacked George. The man fell down. Williams looked at the dead man blankly. George glanced at the man and then, Williams. "Thank you!" Williams hummed. He scanned the field from where he stood. Most of the knights and opponents lay dead on the ground. Th

Chapter: Final Battle 1George climbed down the stairs, holding a sword. He slid it into a sheath and wore the strap across his body. "Your Majesty." Roy said and bowed. George hummed as he got to the landing. He surveyed the room. "How is Violet?" "Her Majesty is in her room. She has been awfully silent these days. She is probably missing the captive." Roy said candidly. George rolled his eyes and shook his head annoyingly. "I careless about how she feels. She made her choice." "But Your Majesty, what will happen to the captive?" Roy inquired. "He will be publicly executed when I return from war. He will serve as a spare goat for others." George said plainly. "And Her Majesty?" Roy followed up. "Violet still retains her position as the queen but not as my wife. Clearly, I can't sleep on the same bed with someone as shameless as her. Of all the men in the village, it had to be that potter." George said bluntly, "Once I come back from this war, I'll take my daughter from Rebecca. I careless if sh

Chapter: It’s OverHilda walked through the crowd and arrived at a stand. She kept her basket on the ground. "Good day, Mrs Hilda!" The greengrocer said, wearing a smile. "Good day! Um, do you have some tomatoes?" Hilda asked her. "No. I just sold the last one. But I do have some bell peppers." The greengrocer suggested. "I've already bell peppers at home." Hilda declined. "Oh! Okay. Is there anything else you need?" The greengrocer asked. "No. That will be all." Hilda replied calmly. The greengrocer replied in a nod and stacked some cauliflowers against each other. "That reminds me." The greengrocer said plainly, "There is this news going round the village. I don't know if you have heard it." "Heard what?" Hilda asked curiously. "I heard that the potter has been arrested. He was caught sleeping with the Queen." The greengrocer said. Hilda was stunned at the news. The greengrocer noticed the look on her face and touched her. "Are you okay, Mrs Hilda?" Hilda looked at her and remembered wh

Chapter: Rare GemGeorge returned to the castle, along with his wife and his captive. Crystal stood at the side and looked at them. George let go of Violet forcefully, causing her to fall on the floor. "I've always respected you and given you all that you had requested. I often praise you among the others out there yet you went ahead and betrayed me." George said angrily. "You've never loved her. So don't try to act to be innocent either." Christian shot back, pissed by the way he threw Violet. George walked towards him. The guards held Christian tightly so that he wouldn't break free. George had his hand on his neck and tightened his grip round it. "Men like you don't deserve to see the sun the next day. I should have known you were up to something." "Please, stop Your Majesty! You'll kill him." Crystal pleaded. George glanced at her, then his wife. He sniggered and let go of Christian. "Now I get it." He said as he walked round his captive, "You decided to play games with both women and en

Chapter: Caught In The Act"Me? Who would want to-?" Williams looked at her sternly, indirectly answering her questions. Rebecca observed and that's when she got it. "Your ex-girlfriend." She muttered. "The only reason I had accepted to be in a relationship with Fiona was to get back at my mother. I wanted her to learn that life isn't about social status and wealth. There is more to it. But somehow, I failed." He replied candidly. He turned to his side and glanced through the open window. Rebecca noticed the slight change in his facial expression and became curious. She sat down closer to him and gently held his hand. Williams felt the touch and looked at her. She smiled at him wryly. "You don't have to feel pity for her. I guess she deserves it." He said plainly. "Sadly, I do. Will, she is still your mother. Even though she has been the most obstacle in our marriage, that doesn't change the fact. She is still human and bound to make mistakes." She said coaxingly. Williams turned deaf to her reply. He av

Chapter: The Wrong BaitThe horseman pulled the carriage over beside the verandah. He got down and held the door open for the couple. Catherine was awake and played with Williams. He held her in his arms. He flashed a glance at the open door and looked at his wife. Rebecca hung her head and had a blank facial expression. "Leave us for a minute." Williams said to the horseman. The horseman replied in a nod and left the carriage. He stood not today from the carriage. Rebecca glanced through the opened door. Williams kept Catherine close to her mother. She playfully pulled one of her curly strands. It got Rebecca's attention. She turned to her side and smiled at her daughter. Catherine reciprocated and giggled. She stretched out her arms and her mother carried her. "You're still upset with what your father had said?" He said plainly. Rebecca shook her head, avoiding eye contact. "From what I had learnt from Christian, you're a bad liar. You're facial expression gave you away." He pointed out, "You do

Jacqueline’s Dilemma: Chosen By The Tycoon
“My dear?” The priest called her softly.
Jacqueline looked at him tearfully. She sniffed.
Rex leant closer.
“If you don’t say yes within the next minute, you and that innocent priest will be force to go an unplanned trip to the netherworld. You wouldn’t want that, would you?” He threatened, whispering to her ear.

Chapter: Chapter 40~Jacqueline’s POV~I opened my eyes blearily. They felt heavy and I closed them immediately. The bleeping sound wasn’t helping matters. I struggled again and opened my eyes. I had my eyes at the ceiling. They looked different. When did Rex change them? I placed my hand on my temple. I had that headache again. Couldn’t this get any worse? I caught a glimpse of what was on my arm. It was a cannula. Huh? I looked at its connection—a drip bag. I heard the bleep again. I tilted my head to the side and saw the vital sign monitor. This wasn’t home? Was it?“You’re finally awake.”I looked forward and saw Rex. He had sat down in armchair. He had his phone on his hand.I tried to sit up but,“Don’t even think about it.” He said frigidly, without making eye contact.I let out a sigh and lay back. “Wh-why am I in the hospital?” I asked him nervously.“That’s a good question.” He replied coolly, being a little sarcastic.“Care to explain yourself?

Chapter: Chapter 39~Jacqueline’s POV~ I wheeled the cart through the aisles until I got to the checkout. I stood on the queue. I just wanted to pay for these things and go home. A basket hit on my kneel. “Oh! Sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going.” The woman, who was abreast of me, apologized. She was much older than I was. Probably in her early sixties, if I’m not mistaken. “It’s okay.” I replied, wearing a faint smile. The woman had her eyes on the queue. She faced me. “Stressful day, huh?” She said, trying to start a conversation. I simply hummed. The cashiers did their best to sped up the payment in front. “So, how many weeks are you?” She said calmly. Huh? “I don’t understand.” I said confusingly. “Never mind. I misunderstood—.” She said friendly. “Next!” The cashier on her queue called. The woman nodded and smiled at me. I had my gaze at her. My brow was furrowed. What did she mean by that? The man in my queue finished. He left the counter. I wheeled the cart. I placed everythin

Chapter: Chapter 38~Rex’s POV~I opened the file and quick endorsed it. I kept the fountain pen back in the pen holder. Paula leant forward on the desk and picked up the file. Her dress had a v-neckline, giving her cleavage. I glanced at her chest and looked away. It doesn’t excite me like it usually does.Paula understood the hint. She stood straight, with the file partially covering the cleavage. “What’s wrong? You aren’t happy.” She asked worriedly.I flashed a glance at her.“I’m fine, Paula. I just want to be alone.” I answered, trying to avoid further questions.“You can deceive anyone with that tone but I know you too well. You’re obviously not.” She said candidly.Paula kept the file on the desk and walked over to me. I watched her as she perched on my lap. I glanced through the glass wall, checking if anyone was walking past my office at that time. There was none.“What’s wrong, baby? Who is the reason behind your bad mood?” She asked sweetly, stroking my

Chapter: Chapter 37~Jacqueline’s POV~ I hurried into the bathroom. I stood in front of the wash basin and lowered my head. Blerugh! I had my hand on my stomach, with the other against the wall. I panted calmly. I turned on the tap and flushed what I had chundered down the drain. I splattered water on my face and turned it off. I wiped off some of the droplets from my face. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were a little swollen and had no so obvious dark eyes underneath. I’ve been having headache all night. Surprisingly, it doesn’t happen during the day but at night, I’m battling to fall asleep with the pain. I had taken the last tablet of the pain reliever two nights ago. Now, I need more. I backed the mirror, leaning against the vanity top. I ran my fingers through my hair. I slowly left my head and had my hand on my neck. I rubbed it tiredly. I have no idea what was wrong with me. I felt something watery sliding down my thighs. I looked at my legs. F**k! Not this too! This was

Chapter: Chapter 36~Rex’s POV~ I watched the conveyor belt rolled down the package yoghurts to the baskets. The employee beside me, took record of the products. My hands were hidden in the pockets of my trousers. I glanced at the safety board. A whole month has gone and no accident has occurred ever since. Impressive. “Sir,” The employee said, getting my attention. I turned to the side and looked at her. She adjusted her glasses. She had her eyes on the clipboard she was holding. “The total products made today is a thousand tubs.” She read from the notes she had taken. That was low. They can do better than a thousand a day. Probably add half of it to it. “Number of mishaps in production or packaging?” I inquired, with eyes at the gauges. “Um,” She said as she flipped over to the next page, “Fifteen.” I hummed. At least, the losses this time was less. I let out a sigh and glanced at my wristwatch. It was already quarter to four. Wow! Time does fly really fast when you’re busy. “Would you like

Or would I say, wh*re and her—.” Shirley said curtly, wearing a mischievous smile. “Don’t call her that.” Liam said firmly, scowling at her. “Oh! For goodness sake! She is. It’s high time we called a spade a spade. She was quick to leave and jumped to the next man who could afford the world.” She scoffed. First, it was Liam’s. And now, I’ve to listen to her’s too. “It still confuses on how you dated someone like her. She clearly doesn’t fit your class. A rag dressed in expensive clothing. I had expected someone better and not her.” She continued. I clenched my fists. Someone needed to teach this b*tch to shut her mouth. “Stop it, Shirley. I won’t let you insult her.” Liam defended me. Shirley slung him off, “How pathetic! You’re standing up for someone who left you to be with your brother. I never knew love was this blind. It was obvious that she had bewitched you.” Oh, forget it.

They are waiting for you in the living room." Zita said quickly, feeling edgy."Visitors?" Rebecca asked doubtfully.Zita replied in a nod. Rebecca looked away from the door and glanced at the cot.

She heaved and walked to the door.The guard at the entrance pulled it open for her. Rebecca, unused to such treatment, entered inside. She walked through the corridor and arrived at the throne room. She saw the maids standing on a queue. They curtsied in front of her."Was this really necessary?" She said inwardly."You decided to come." Rebecca turned to her side and saw Violet. Her facial expression wasn't welcoming and her tone sounded a bit harsh. Rebecca swallowed nervously and glanced at Catherine, who babbled as she tried to pull her mother's curly hair."Your Majesty."
