ESTEFAN'S POV โEstefan,โ Rhea yelled from inside the room and I glanced at Mrs Dutchman who was standing with me in the kitchen, before leaving the pan on the burning stove and running to the room.โWhat's wrong?โ I stepped into the room to see Rhea standing with her legs apart in front of the closet. โMy water broke.โ Her eyes widened as she stared at the water on the ground.โOkay, no need to panic,โ I said but I was the one panicking because I had no idea what to do.โShe'll go into labour soon, we need to get her to the hospital.โ Mrs Dutchman walked past me who was standing at the entrance, looking confused. I shook my head and got myself together before moving close to Rhea. She placed one hand on her huge baby bump while I held the other hand and supported her back with my other arm as we walked out of the room.โFuck!โ She cried out and squeezed the hand that she was holding. โThat hurts.โ โI'm so sorry.โ I caressed her back as she kept walking.โWe need to hurry up, the

LEAH'S POV โAsher, there's something I want to talk to you about,โ I started as I sat next to him on the couch while he was busy typing away on his laptop. A few days ago, Asher brought up the topic of our wedding. He wanted to talk to my parents so that we could finalize the wedding date and start preparing for it. Like I told Rhea, I wanted to discuss the issue of not having babies yet before we proceeded. โOkay, but check this out first.โ He placed his laptop on the table so that I could see what he was doing he was looking at.I raised my eyebrows when I saw that it was a picture of a house, a beautiful house at that. โWhat do you think about it?โ He asked.โIt's a beautiful house and I love the design too.โ I nodded.โWould you love to live there someday?โ He continued. My face scrunched in confusion. โWhy are you asking me that?โ He scratched the back of his head. โI'm thinking of buying the house for us. I don't want us to live in this apartment when we get married.โ โ

RHEA'S POV ONE WEEK LATER.โDo you think we should go with the Spiderman theme for the nursery?โ I asked as we drove to the hospital because Esteban was getting discharged.โWhy would you want to use a Spiderman theme for a baby girl?โ Estefan looked up from his phone with raised eyebrows.โIt's not a girl, it's a boy. I know that because I'm the one carrying the child.โ I folded my hands. โIt's called mother's instinct.โ โIt doesn't work that way.โ โIt does.โ I countered. โWhy don't we ask Mom when we get to the hospital?โ โFine.โ He averted his eyes from me and focused on his phone.The car stopped in the hospital parking lot. We stepped out and made our way inside, heading straight to Estebanโs room.Esteban was heading out of the room with Mom and Esmeralda when we got there. โI told you not to waste your time coming.โ He rolled his eyes at us.He had insisted that we didn't make his discharge a big deal and just meet him in the palace later.

We were sitting in the front row reserved for the member of the Royal family and the court members proceeded with the ceremony when everyone else was present.My feet bounced and I kept looking at the entrance of the palace Grand Hall, waiting for the police to walk in. โWhat's taking them so long?โ Princess Antonella asked as Prince Eugenio was invited to the podium.โI have no idea.โ โThey have to arrest him before the ceremony is over or else he will be untouch

ESTEFAN'S POV Esmeralda and I were standing in the hospital reception when medics rushed my father who was lying unconscious on the stretcher into the hospital. My heart stopped when I saw the blood all over his white shirt. โMom, where is Esteban?โ Esmeralda ran toward Mom who was following Dad's stretcher with tears rolling down her cheeks.Before she could reply, Esteban's stretcher was rolled in by the medics. He was still conscious and groaning in pain. โEsteban, hang in there. You're going to be fine.โ I followed the nurses as they pushed him toward the emergency room.โPlease, make sure Dad is okay.โ He groaned in pain as he spoke.โDad will be fine, just worry about yourself.โ I stopped as they went into the emergency room.Mom broke down in Esmeralda's arm and they sank to the ground while I watched them, trying so hard to control my tears. We sat outside the waiting room, watching nurses going in and out. โWhere is Estevan?โ Princess Antonella shouted and she ran towa

ESTEFAN'S POVโGo back there and check for the CCTV camera,โ I ordered the bodyguards. โWe need to find the people who left her there.โ My bodyguards reported that they found Rhea lying in an alley. If I could get footage of the person who left her there and get him arrested, we might be able to get him to mention Prince Eugenio's name and add it to the list of his crimes. โYes, Your Highness.โ They bowed and left the room.Esmeralda walked into the hospital room with Mrs Dutchman who was holding a basket of food. I made her go back to the palace last night, even though she insisted on staying. I should have expected that she would be early the next morning. โYour Highness, I brought you some food.โ Mrs Dutchman placed the basket on a small table and dragged me to sit on the chair in front of it. โI'm very sure you didn't get anything last night. Her Highness would get mad at you if she found out you have been starving yourself.โ She was right. I didn't get anything to eat the wh

ESTEFAN'S POV I drove like a maniac to the palace and rushed into the living room where everyone was sitting. โWhere is she?โ I asked, breathing heavily. My father stood up with a dejected look on his face. โPrince Eugenio has her, and he won't release her unless I announce him to the Crown Prince.โ My heart dropped at the mention of Prince Eugenio's name, and my shoulders slumped in defeat. After everything I did to save my familyโs legacy, everything was going to go down the drain because I couldn't protect Rhea. If only I had chosen to let that maid go and follow Rhea to the hospital. I pulled on my hair before I picked up a vase beside me and smashed it against the wall. โFuck!โ I yelled. โEstefan, calm down.โ Esteban rushed to hold me. โHow can I calm down? I don't know what that bastard is doing to her. She must be scared all by herself.โ I cried as I spoke. โI should have gone with her to the hospital. This is all my fault.โ Esteban wrapped his hands aroun

ESTEFAN'S POV โThanks for your help.โ I walked toward the elevator with my bodyguards behind me. I took one of the regular elevators to the second floor. As if luck was on my side, the elevator stopped to reveal the kitchen maid holding two suitcases with her mother behind her. Her eyes widened upon seeing me, and she turned to make a run for it, but she stopped in her tracks when her eyes landed on her mother. I smirked, knowing she couldn't leave her mother behind to save herself. โHelp them get in,โ I ordered my bodyguards, and they stepped out of the elevator to usher them in. Gabriela shook in fear as she and her mother stood behind me in the elevator. The door closed, and I held the elevator before turning to her. โWhat's going on? Why isn't the elevator moving?โ Her mother raised an alarm, looking at me and my bodyguards in fear. Gabriela kept her head down in fear, tugging on her mother's skirt. โWhat is it? Why are you quiet?โ She turned to her daughter, e

ESTEFAN'S POV โYou have a phone call,โ Rhea brought my phone to me in the bathroom. She answered it and put it on speaker since I couldn't answer it in the shower. โGood morning, Your Highness, its Doctor Enzo,โ the caller said. โThe DNA results are ready, you can come pick them up.โ โThank you, doctor,โ I replied and he hung up. Rhea left the bathroom and I finished up before joining her in the room. She sat on the bed, typing away on her laptop while I got dressed.โI have an appointment with my obstetrician today, do you think you can come along?โ She asked as she closed the laptop. โWhat time?โ I stood in front of the mirror and buttoned my shirt. โ11:30, can you make it?โ She stood up to help me with my tie that I still haven't gotten the hang of. โI'm not sure, but I'll try.โ I wrapped my hands around her.I had to get the test results and explain everything to my father before the meeting which I was informed was scheduled for 2pm.โIf anything comes up and I can't make
