Lady Rory Williams slipped into a red suede gown, looking drop-dead gorgeous. Her ethereal beauty was shining ever so brightly, one can say even more than the sun. Today, she was a woman on a mission.....It was the second time she’d be visiting the palace walls as a royal delegate who had every right to be there. The first time, she’d only been introduced to the court as a new member. But this time, the royal seal would be holding a luncheon party to welcome her officially into the noble service.It wasn’t a necessary occasion to be held for newcomers of the court but, her uncle Damien had pulled some strings on her behalf as expected, making sure his “precious” niece got the best treatment.It wasn’t just an ordinary welcome party for Rory though. It was a great opportunity to execute her plans. Hopefully, her heartthrob, King Shawn, would be in attendance. It was his palace, after all, and it was mandatory that he attend or at least show face to every royal event held at the palace

Catherine was well aware of the strict royal system in Australia. The expectations placed upon nobles were too extreme, and any misstep could result in public ridicule and embarrassment. She couldn't help but imagine the whispers and laughter that would ensue if word got out about her day-long nap. It was going to be a big deal, and the media would eat it up. The thought of becoming a laughingstock in the kingdom made her stomach churn with anxiety. ‘Oh, my God. I’m fucked!’ There were a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and if this gets out, she could as well step down as the King’s Fiancée. As a journalist and former newspaper editor, Catherine could already imagine the thousands of humiliating front-page headlines. “Lady Catherine Is Lazy And unfit to rule!” “Does Australia Needs A Lazy queen?” “The Jones Girl Is A Downgrade For A Queen.” “The Royal Sleep Scandal: Lady Catherine's Day-Long Nap Raises Eyebrows in the Kingdom! “The Future Queen Who Snoozed!” “Sleeping B

After watching her for quite some time, Shawn's hands moved with a delicate touch, helping her remove her clothes, shoes, and jewelry till she was left with just her inner, comfy wear. He let out a frustrating sigh as he gazed at Catherine's delicate figure, peacefully asleep. The way her body curved and the gentle rise and fall of her chest immediately stirred a desire within him that he couldn't ignore.The softness of her skin and the way her hair cascaded over her shoulders all added to her allure. Shawn's heart raced, his mind filled with a mixture of longing and desire. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her, his gaze tracing the contours of her body. Catherine’s absence during the past week had left a void in Shawn’s heart, and he had missed her presence more than he could have ever imagined. “She's like a dream, a fantasy come to life.”Her body was so soft and inviting that he couldn’t help but have dirty thoughts. But as much as he was captivated by Catherine's beauty,

Catherine couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as King Shawn's thumb continued to caress her cheek. She felt herself leaning into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed for a brief moment.She wanted to back away but couldn't find the will to. This man had a way of making her weak in the knees. She was unable to think straight.She had been extra anxious and apprehensive ever since she stepped into the grand palace, waiting for the worst to happen. All her thoughts were that he would end their relationship and maybe tell her he was getting back with his gorgeous blondie Ex.But now, the man said that he missed her. She didn't know what and how to reply to that at all. The fact that his fingers were also gently caressing her face while he stared deeply and lovingly into her eyes was also something she wasn’t expecting.“What's wrong?”“Uh?” Catherine asked with a puzzled expression on her face.“Your face… Are you sick?”“What's wrong with my face, Your Majesty?”“It’s extra flushe

“OMG, Bestie, go online asap! Check what’s trending at No. 1,” Steven cried out hysterically as soon as he walked into Catherine’s bedroom at the Jones Mansion.Catherine, sprawling on her elegantly adorned bed with her long brown hair cascading like a river of silk, raised an eyebrow at his urgency. She was used to her best friend's dramatic entrances, but this one seemed particularly intense.Even her pet, Zowie, who had been lazily lounging on her lap, jerked up at Steven's frantic entrance. His screams made her scared as she darted under the bed with a startled “meow.”"Steve, keep it down. Look how you scared Zowie away. What has got you so worked up?" Catherine inquired, setting aside her favorite Colleen Hoover book.Steven, with his phone, clutched tightly in his hand, was practically vibrating with anxiety.“Just go online, Babes. Hurry!”“Okay, Okay. I've heard you.” Catherine reached for her phone and quickly navigated to the top trending news online.Her eyes immediately w

The Royal Palace, Sydney.An incredibly gorgeous blond with emerald green eyes alighted from an exquisite car in front of the castle’s grand halls. Her tight-fitted white body suit hugged her hourglass figure perfectly. The bright smile radiating from her face made her look like a beauty goddess sent from above as she posed for the paparazzi stationed at the entrance.“God, I'm so nervous to see my Shawny. I feel like it's been ages already,” Rory muttered to herself as she followed the palace guards who led her through the enormous gardens and walkway.Memories of the last time she visited the palace flooded her mind. It was a painful experience she wished to forget – one that left her broken within. She had gone on her knees, cried bitterly, and begged him to give her another chance to prove her love.The chance to be his wife and rightful queen!Rory had been so hopeful and trusted in the love they shared in the past. She thought it was about time they rekindled those lovely feelin

Scarlet’s wrist was bandaged from the slashes she’d made in her desperation to drown out the emotional agony with physical pain.An IV was dripped into her arm.Her mother, Eva Thompson, sat beside her, eyes red and puffy, clutching her hand tightly.“You’re awake,” she choked out, tears spilling down her cheeks. “Oh, thank God.“Scarlet hissed bitterly, then turned away, shame and anger bubbling inside her.They should have just let her die!She didn’t want pity.She didn’t want comfort.She wanted only Sebastian.She wanted her life back.“Sweetheart, why?” her mother whispered. “Why would you do this to yourself?”Scarlet’s lips parted, but no words came. She had nothing to say.How could she explain the emptiness, the rage, the obsession that consumed her?That Kourtney had taken everything, and Scarlet had nothing left: nothing but the burning need to reclaim what was hers.“Scarlet,” her mother said again, squeezing her hand. “You really scared us so much. What would people say

The front door creaked open, and Jamie, Sebastian’s assistant, stepped inside, freezing mid-stride. His eyes widened, his tablet nearly slipping from his hands as he took in the scene.Okay! This is awkward!The sudden intrusion shattered the spell, and Kourtney squeaked. Her face turned tomato-red as she scrambled to sit up straighter, smoothing her dress in a futile attempt to look composed.Jamie had walked in just in time to see them smooching and making out shamelessly on the living room couch. She felt a little embarrassed.Sebastian, on the other hand, looked ready to fire someone. “Jamie,” he said, his voice dangerously calm, “this better be good.”As usual, Sebastian’s reaction was different. His face was filled with annoyance as if he had just been denied his favorite cookie. It was obvious he hated being interrupted like this, especially when he was having a good time with his wife.Jamie better have a damn good reason for barging in here.Meanwhile, Jamie’s mouth opened an

“So… did you miss me that much?” Kourtney asked as she stared deep into his icy blue eyes while playing with his left ear.Sebastian chuckled, a dark, sinful sound.“Baby, you have no idea what you do to me.” His voice was a low rumble, sending shivers down her spine.She bit her lip, trying to hide how much his words affected her.His gaze dropped to her lips, then lower, taking in the way her dress hugged her curves. “How am I supposed to focus on anything else when you’re sitting here, driving me wild?”The villa’s grand living room, with its high ceilings and polished marble floors, seemed to fade into the background, the servants’ quiet movements barely registering. It was just the two of them, caught in a bubble that made her skin tingle.“You’re not exactly subtle, Mr. Woods.”Sebastian’s grin widened, his voice glinting with that dangerous, playful edge that always made her “water” down there. “Subtle? Never been my style, Mrs. Woods.”His hands slid up her sides, slow and del

The servants standing close by were all putting on a straight face. Kourtney wondered if they weren't paying any attention to her conversation with Lilian. Or maybe, they were just so good at pretending they weren't.Whatever the case may be, she suspected that it was the latter.“He what?? Don’t leave me hanging! Did he sweep you off your feet? Did he growl at the paparazzi like a sexy caveman? I need details!” Lilian was screaming into the phone now, so much so that Kourtney had to turn down the volume, not wanting the servants to hear her.For a split second, she thought she had gone deaf from the screams.“You’re too much. Let’s just say he made it clear I’m “his.”“Ooh, possessive billionaire vibes!” Lilian said dreamily. “Okay, we’re meeting on Wednesday at our favorite Coffee shop by 5 p.m. I need to see your famous face in person. Remember, you also need to get your glam up and take more photos. We have to make plans.”“Done,” Kourtney agreed, her heart lighter.She loved the

Scarlet’s grip on the blade loosened, and it slipped from her fingers, clattering to the floor.Her body hit the ground along with it.Her mother’s cries grew distant, toned down, like they were coming from underwater.“Scarlet!” her brother roared, his voice barely reaching her. “Hold on, we’re coming in!”She wanted to tell them to stop, to leave her alone, but her lips wouldn’t move. Her body felt weightless, like she was floating.The last thing she saw was the blood pooling around her wrist. The last thing she heard was her mother’s scream as the door finally gave way, splintering under her family’s intense force.And then, darkness.***********Serenity Villa.Kourtney sank into the plush velvet couch in the sprawling living room, her legs stretched out, toes wiggling in cozy socks. The room was a masterpiece of luxury, yet, despite the magnificence, it was actually the people who made this place feel like a palace to her.Her favorite cherry cola drink sat fizzing in a crystal

“Kourtney,” Scarlet hissed, the name tasting like poison on her tongue.This was personal.The comparisons, the discussion—they all stung like hell. But more than anything, she hated the fact that Sebastian was indeed legally married to that woman.Scarlet felt like she was going crazy.It could have been anyone else and she was pretty sure it wouldn't have hurt this much.Why her?Last night at the Gala, she’d felt a flicker of triumph when Kourtney was being humiliated during the announcement. Scarlet hadn’t needed to lift a finger—Kourtney was crumbling on her own.But then Sebastian had stormed forward, his presence commanding the room. He’d wrapped her in his arms, his voice booming with pride as he called her his wife. The crowd had erupted, and Scarlet’s world had shattered.She remembered the moment vividly. The way his eyes sought her out, the way he had rushed to defend her honor when the odds turned against her on stage. Sebastian’s powerful aura had shielded her from the w
