Chapter: The Weight Of The LossCHAPTER 19“W…what do you mean she didn’t make it?...” My voice quivered as I tried to keep it steady. My breath was heavy, coming in short quick gasps that hurt my chest. “S…she’s dead, Lily,” the doctor hesitated before breaking the news with a heavy sigh. “She couldn’t be operated on due to lack of completion of the payment. Her body has been transferred to the morgue. I’m sorry. I did my best. I really did. You need to come now to identify her body and make necessary arrangements…” The weight of his revelation bore down heavily on me like a ton of rocks, crushing me to a pulp. I didn’t know for how long I stayed mute, feeling an acute sense of loss wash over me. My mother. My sweet mother…the only family I had left was gone. I won’t get to see her again. This was all my fault. If only I had gathered the payment and made it to the hospital in time, I could have saved her. She’ll still be breathing by now. Terrible regrets assailed me as hot painful tears burned their way down m

Chapter: Bonus Chapter BRIANNA’S POV The pungent smell of drugs and antiseptics came streaming into my nose. Irritated, I grimaced, shaking my head to ward off the smell. My eyes forcefully slid open to find myself in an unfamiliar environment flooded with bright almost blinding lights with the walls painted white too. It didn’t take long for me to realize I was in a hospital, the beeping of the heart monitor and other medical machines I was hooked to the only sounds heard in the room. I groaned in discomfort, breathing out heavily as I tried to gently sit up on the bed. I felt so disoriented like I just woke up from a terrible coma. I tried to recall the events that led to me being here when the door suddenly pushed open and Sebastian stormed in. “Doctor! She’s awake,” he shouted, appearing relieved and overwhelmed with joy. He crouched in front of me, looking at me and touching me like I was made of glass. He was extremely concerned. “Are you okay?” He asked not waiting for me to answer before a

Chapter: Last stand CHAPTER 152 SEBASTIAN’S POV Hermes started moving stealthily towards the car, forcing Brianna along with him, his eyes fixed on us without wavering. Brianna looked at us with a helpless gaze, silently pleading for us to help her. I felt really bad. My body burned with restlessness and the urge to do something. Anything. I can’t just stay back and watch Hermes take her away. I can’t afford to lose her again. I can’t bear living a minute of my life again without seeing her. I didn’t know if there was someone inside the SUV to drive them. I couldn’t see clearly. But Hermes was moving into the passenger’s seat with her. That meant someone was there or maybe he’ll climb into the driver’s seat after he got in. But whatever the case was, I didn’t want him to take her away again. I looked at Dylan in a silent, urgent plea. “We have to do something. We can’t just stay back and let him take her away again…” “I’m sorry Sebastian,” Dylan sighed in pessimism. “But there is nothing

Chapter: Final Confrontation CHAPTER 151 SEBASTIAN’S POV Dylan managed to gather all the association’s security troops in time. With an armoured truck, we burst in through the gates of his castle, taking the occupants mostly his guards by surprise. They didn’t expect us, especially by this time, at dusk. Dressed in bulletproof vests, we jumped down the trucks and shot several times in the air to frighten Hermes’s guards and force their surrender. The order from Dylan was to arrest, not to shoot. But I wanted to kill them all, most especially Hermes. Dylan knew I’d find it hard to adhere to his commands so he refused to give me a gun. Having arrived with five armoured trucks – three for the association’s troops and the other two for Hermes and his guards that will be arrested, we were almost thrice the number of Hermes’s guards. And the fact we came unexpectedly, they weren’t prepared at all. Looking around the place, I couldn’t see Hermes or Brianna. Where the hell was that bastard and where has he t

Chapter: About to moveCHAPTER 150 BRIANNA’S POV I grimaced bitterly, looking away in irritation. “Let me go! I’m going nowhere with you…” But it fell on deaf ears as he started dragging me along with him to the castle’s exit as though I was some children’s toy. His grip was so tight I feared I might fracture my wrist if I tried to break free. “You killed her…” I swallowed with difficulty, tears falling out my eyes as the brutal scenario of how he killed his sister came rushing to my mind. “She was worried about you…she was only trying to help yet you murdered her in cold blood. You’re selfish! You have no heart! You’re a monster ….!! How can you murder your sister like that?!! You’ll never win me over… As long as I live, I’ll continue to hate you…” Exhaling loudly in frustration, he stopped and turned to me, the anger and rage in his eyes hot enough to burn me to ashes. I stopped talking and froze in fear, my breath fluttering in my chest. “Maybe it’s time I gagged that little hole of yours

Chapter: Urgent letterCHAPTER 149 SEBASTIAN’S POV “What?....what is it?” I asked in desperate curiosity, eager to know the contents of the letter that left him in such a devastated state. “It’s from Hermes’s sister, Hera,” he uttered, rebuffed as he momentarily looked at the me and letter. “What did she say?” My curiosity peaked as I took a step closer to him. He looked into the letter. “She says that Hermes kidnapped a pregnant slave named Brianna Campbell and…” “That’s her!” I pointed out almost hysterically, interrupting him. “She is the one. Do you believe me now? Or are you going to doubt this one too?” I cocked a furious brow, a clear indication I was angry with his nonchalant attitude towards this matter. Even though this letter would help prove to Dylan and the rest of the committee that I wasn’t lying, I couldn’t fathom how it came to be. Why would Hera write and send it, implicating her brother? Hera and I weren’t very much acquitted. But merely seeing her was enough to tell an

I couldn’t believe I had done such a thing to her.I clutched the bridge of my nose, unable to meet her fearful gaze. Frustration and remorse gnawed at me like sharp talons as I apologized for how I reacted. “I’m sorry love, I didn’t mean to hurt you… It’s just that whenever I see you hurt or sad, I lose control…”I let out a sharp, overwhelming breath, trying to calm myself. But one thing was for sure, if I find out someone in this castle left those marks on her, I’ll tear their head from their body. I don’t care what happens. I don’t care that as the future king, I was meant to lead by example, display qualities worthy of emulation, and protect everyone, because right now,

Chapter: Who did this to you?CHAPTER 90ERIC’S POVEven though I tried to insist, my mother assigned me a guard. She made it clear that he was to be in charge of my safety from now on and should never leave my sight. His name was Liam. Liam was friendly and easygoing. He had served as a guard in the castle for quite a long time. He toured me around the castle, letting me know the rich history behind the stone walls that were now my home. He showed me the castle’s library—a vast, quiet hall lined with tall wooden shelves and old books and scrolls where I could draw more knowledge from what happened in the past and about the kingdom. It was important that I was deeply versed in the history of my land and people before taking up the crown. Several minutes into the tour, I became restless, pressed with the unquenchable need to see Adrianna. I had left early this morning to meet up with my mother. Because of that, I wasn’t able to see her and know how she was doing. It was already evening and I hadn’t seen her.“I’

Chapter: Something has to be done CHAPTER 89REGINA’S POV“I'd rather not talk about it,” Eric said quietly, looking away. That one question had ruined his entire mood. His expression was grim and exasperated, like one holding onto a dark grudge he couldn’t accomplish or let die. This was enough to tell me he also dreaded her role in that castle as much as I did. If he did, then why was he still with her? Why did he have to bring her along to my castle? “Why?” I leaned forward as I asked, reaching out across the table to gently press the ball of his knee in an attempt to make him open up. “Did something bad happen? I’m your mother Eric… Even though we haven’t known each other for longer than 24 hours, you can still tell me anything…”“No, mum…” his tone was becoming irritable. “Nothing happened. I just don’t want to talk about it.”“Fine,” my lips curled to a faint smile and I backed off but inside I was burning with unrestrained fury and the sting of being shut out.After that, the silence that followed was heavy a

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and cleared my throat. “The death of that Alpha king you worked for… please tell me you weren’t the one responsible…” “Of course not,” he grimaced intensely as he blurted out. “Why would you think that?” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you. It’s just that your name and face were all over the tabloids and that picture…” “It was all a setup. Those psychos just wanted to punish me because I had betrayed them by escaping the castle, something no guard had ever dared before. I knew way too much to be left alive.” He explained, his jaw tight as a shadow of anger and frustration crossed his face. “Oh,” I muttered, relief flooding me. “I knew my c

Chapter: Truth revealed CHAPTER 87 REGINA’S POV “Protect me?…” Those two words seemed to trigger a strong reaction in him. He scoffed in disbelief, staring down at me. “I was abandoned for a solid thirty years, and the only time you two bothered to look for me and miraculously find me was when the king was ailing and in need of someone to take over from him,” he leaned forward and pinned me with a fearless, challenging glare — but deep inside, I knew he was hurting badly. “That isn’t protecting, Mother, it’s convenience. A selfish move to save your kingdom, not your son.” “No…” I voiced, pulling forward. I almost slipped from my seat as I pleaded. “That’s not true… please… listen to me… give me a chance to explain…” He leaned back against his seat and turned his face away, sulking. His jaw was tight, and his brows were knitted in quiet anger. “The ball is in your court,” he turned to me coldly, his face devoid of emotions. “You’d better choose your words carefully, because whatever you say

My heart hurt from seeing how she was avoiding me. “B please wait. Hear me out first. I have something important to tell you. The pregnancy was fake…I know everything now…” I said as I rushed out of the car and chased after her. But I didn’t think she heard me as she quickly slammed the door shut down on getting inside. I banged against the door, screaming for her. Apologizing. Pouring my heart out and letting her know how much I loved and missed her. I didn’t care if I was constituting a nuisance or being absurd, I just wanted her forgiveness. I wanted her back. But it all fell on deaf ears. No one opened the door for me. I wondered if my dad had come like he promised. Maybe he hadn’t yet. I wondered if her parents were around. Surely, they won’t approve of my behaviour and I didn’t even know how to explain the whole situation to their understa

Despite all she did, they still loved her as their one and only daughter and were willing to take her back. After they left, my father noticed how troubled and unhappy I was, and I couldn’t help but tell him everything that happened. I needed someone to talk to. Someone who could understand and advise me. And right then, my father was the only one I could turn to. He advised me to be patient, to give B more time and not act rashly to avoid losing her completely. He also promised to go see her parents intercede on my behalf and convinced me to head back to the apartment and rest because I really needed it. As I was approaching my apartment from the elevator, I noticed the door was left ajar. I didn’t put too much thought into it because it was probably Gideon. I had seen him earlier that morning before stepping out.

It’ll be hard finding her if she did. No matter what, I had to get her back. I want her back. Not only is she the love of my life, but she’s also carrying my unborn child. She will be the mother of my children. Rushing into the room, I hurriedly pulled out the drawer of the nightstand, searching for my car keys. I couldn’t remember where last I kept it but I think it should be in the drawer because I usually left it there. Instead of finding my car keys, I found something else. My brows drew in curiously as I took out the paperwork. Going through the contents, terrible regrets assailed me as I shook my head in agony. B was pregnant. All these while, she has been carrying my child but kept it from me. All these while, I have been hurting and treating her badly not knowing my seed was growing inside her.

How am I the one responsible for it? As far as I knew, Heather and I hadn’t gotten into any intimate act since she returned. There must be a mistake somewhere. B was so shattered she couldn’t even look at me. But I wished she could just listen to what I had to say before jumping to any conclusions. This was all a misunderstanding. I knew nothing about it. I know I have been cold and mean towards her lately, but that was only because of the way she’d been acting towards Heather. I believe with time she’ll stop seeing Heather as a threat and apologize for her actions. I cared for Heather and promised to be by her side to make up for all those years I failed to protect her from Ben. But that doesn’t mean I’ll go as far as sleeping with her. I made it clear to her that I loved B and only B now. What Heather and I shared was all in the

Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush
“The only crime I ever committed wasn’t murder, Robert. It was simply loving you. I don’t think anyone has ever loved you the way I did. I loved you to the point I was willing to sacrifice myself for your happiness. But not anymore. I’m over all that shit now. Sooner or later, you’ll regret what you’ve done, and you’ll realize what a huge mistake you made. And by then, it might just be too late.”

Just when she thought she had found happiness, Robert reappears, desperate for a second chance.

After I came back to New York, he confessed to helping Scarlett sabotage me at Robert’s company fifteen years back which led to me being sacked. He asked for my forgiveness and I granted it. If he hadn’t brought up the incident, I don’t think I would have remembered because it’s been long. As sign I had truly forgiven him and my intentions towards him were good, I couldn’t think of any other person asides him to walk me down the aisle.

But Noah’s was on a whole different level. So cold, so menacing, so consuming it chilled my spine. Just how can someone harbour this much hatred to people related to him? He had gagged me, and tied my wrist because I wasn’t making it easy for him with all my persistence and reluctance in going to which ever place he wanted me to go with him. I once heard him say we were going to Fiji, a quiet luxurious island country far from US. Not to mention he had me caged in his brutal dominance. I couldn’t move a single muscle as he pressed the muzzle of that gun against the side of my head, the cold metal reminding me that the slightest move would end it all in a heartbeat. Being at the forefront of all these, I bore the brunt of all that angst, hatred, malice, anger rolling off in waves from him and crashing against me as he shout

He’d been torn and shaken to the core after I pointed the gun at his beloved wife, not knowing what to do. “You’re good,” he continued gently, careful with each word that left his lips as if afraid not to provoke me further. “I can see it in you. Just put down the gun, let’s talk things through. We have a lot of things to tell you. A lot of explanations to make. I know you think we abandoned you but we never did.” ~ He attempted to come close, taking slow cautious steps to me. “If you could just let us…” “Don’t come any close or else I’ll put a bullet through your mouth hole!” I snapped like one possessed, pointing the gun at him, my fingers gripping the handle so tight my knuckles turned white. "Did you watch me grow? Do you have any idea what I endured as a child?" I shouted, throwing the words at him like daggers, each one more vicious than the last.

If you have to kill someone, kill me instead!” Fear and panic was written all over their faces. I could even pick out the heavy, disturbing sound of their breaths as it gushed out from the lungs. Did they think the gun was for fancy? Think I won’t shes blood before I left? I whiffed out a frustrated fume, facepalming internally. This Martin was a fool indeed.

Liam was in crunches and could barely walk properly while Lila was nervously fiddling with her hair. At the sight of them, Lily jolted as if triggered by their presence, almost freeing herself from my grip. Her muffled cries as she struggled grew louder, more disturbing and unbearable as she desperately tried to break free from my hold. “Keep quiet, woman, or else I’ll hurt them!” I snarled at her, and she became calm like a puppy, her eyes red and puffy as tears mixed with sweat dripped from her eyes and stained her cheeks.
