Empress Kimberly: His Chosen Bride

"Woohoo!" Men exclaimed from different angles as the young lady walked shyly onto the stage wearing white laced lingerie exposing her perfectly curved hips and firm breasts on her tanned chest. Her long blonde hair, shined brightly under the stage light. Smoke puffed everywhere and it was almost foggy inside the club as each man held their cigarettes. Kimberly closed her eyes in shame and guilt as she had no choice but to do as she was almost naked. She had wished this would stop so she could start living a normal life. She had been dancing in this same club for years and now tonight, she was going to spend the night with a man. She was determined to pay back what she owed and to break free from Mr. Raymond's constant maltreatment. He owned the club and had raised her and David, her younger brother since they were kids. Mr. Raymond seized no opportunity to remind them about their debt. Who wouldn't want to be free from the hands of such a greedy man who didn't even send her brother to

Kim woke up on a very comfortable big bed. She had slept off on the sofa the previous night after crying and Henry carried her to his room. She didn't like how everyone made her a property, starting from Mr. Raymond who maltreated and finally sold her, because he adopted her and her brother, David from the orphanage. years ago. Now it was Henry, What crime did she commit in her previous life? To get treated this way?. was losing her parents not enough for her and David?. She asked herself rhetorically. She rubbed her eyes gently, then she yawned and stood up. Her eyes met with the maids standing in the room, close to her bed. "Who..who are you"? She said to them. How long, did they stand there? did they watch her sleep? how embarrassing. she couldn't even get a little bit of privacy?. She thought. "We are here to help you get dressed, his highness sent us". One of the maids said. " Help me get dressed? am I some spoilt can do that myself, where did you keep my bag"? She asked, her e

"Well, it seems like we've got a wedding to plan". Emperor Francis announced, breaking the awkward silence. Henry stood, dumbfounded about Kim's action. It baffles him how he wasn't angry at her action but felt a strong urge to take her right there. She wanted to move away from him, instead, he grabbed her waist, holding her tightly. She wanted to push him away but he gave her a threatening look. She then realized what she had just done. She didn't like the looks in his eyes. Is he going to sleep with her when they get back?. She only did it to save herself, she didn't mean to offend him. Leonard felt defeated by his half-brother, He swore to bring him down by all means. He moved near Henry and whispered. " You win this time, next time you won't get to escape me." Immediately everyone returned to their original positions and Henry took Kimberly with him to the car, the drive to his mansion was silent as he kept thinking about how soft her lips were on his. He hadn't had that feeling

Kim was still in deep thoughts when a knock on the door brought her back to reality, "maybe I should just stop imagining things". She said. "Miss, you ready?" Andrew asked from outside the room. "Give me five minutes and I'll be out." She said out loudly so he would hear her. Margaret hurried into Gabriella's chamber and without wasting time, she spoke."your majesty, are you gonna sit down and allow the marriage between Henry and that cheap slut to happen?" "Of course, not Margaret, I won't have anyone take you and my son's place." She replied immediately."Then you know what to do and not to waste time with it." She clenched her fist tightly."The emperor seems to be carried away by that girl's charm. I don't know what he sees in her." "Whatever our plans are, we need to hurry about it. They might start trying for a child when the Emperor gets an heir. nothing would stop Henry from succeeding in the empire" Margret was nervous saying this. The idea of Henry bringing a child to t

"you'll have to be careful, the Williams Manor is a dangerous place to live in". Henry warned Kim sternly. "Wait! You're not coming with me?". she asked, surprised."I have things to attend to, and I've never lived there since I was a kid". He confessed briefly."Huh!" Kim exclaimed. Surprised. No wonder she noticed the relationship between him and the family wasn't mutual. The enmity has been going on for a long time. She was then quiet and stared at him."Don't trust anyone, if any situation occurs report to me immediately, I'll send some of my maids with you, reject any offer from them regarding a personal servant from their Manor" He advised. Henry didn't live there, but he was familiar with the ways of the imperial mansion. Once they devise a plan to get rid of someone or something, they do it to the fullest. He was also afraid he wouldn't be there to protect Kimberly all the time, so she also needed to be strong and able to protect herself. He trusts her to it since she is clev
