Not a Bad Guy
"People of Rome. It is on this day that we shall be rejoicing." A lone man in the square called out as the crowd gathered. "It is on this day that the gods have smiled upon us. The Princess Vitatrix, daughter offered Emperor Patricus and Empress Eliana, has been betrothed to Lord Felix, son of Senator Felix. To commemorate this occasion the emperor has commissioned that a week of celebration be held. Feasts and Fights in honor of his daughters engagement."
The crowd cheered. Among them were three women, they had their faces covered and they wore simple clothing. Little did the people of Rome realize that this was their Princess Vitatrix and her Lady's maids Cassia and Fausta. The girls had gone to the market place as Trix wanted to see the people's reaction to her engagement.

The only part of the night that stuck to her was the one dance she shared with Hector and the moment he had handed her over to Felix. This is not what she wanted, to be around someone you love but not be able to love him. It hurt her.As her engagement to Felix was to be celebrated in the following days she knew she had to put on a mask of false joy. She knew that any woman would be happy to be engaged to Felix. He was kind, intelligent, rich, he was perfect. But despite his perfection Trix could not find it in herself to love him. Was this the price she had to pay for being with her family?

Heiress of Rome Society of the Eagle
"So a secret cult of Roman senators who are calling themselves the Society of the Eagle were behind your abduction and poisoning. To add to that you believe that Lord Felix is one of them. Do you have any idea how absurd that sounds Trix?" Hector questioned her. They had agreed to meet in her chambers after the matches at the arena."Don't look at me as if I'm crazy Hector. I actually heard them." Trix said."Do you have any idea who they are?" Hector sighed."That's why we are going to my father's library to look them up. Also I've asked some of the guards go look into it." Trix said gleefully."Are you trying to build your own spy network?" Hector teased."Well I will eventually ne

Others were simply unaware of who Hector wad and assumed him to be Lord Felix the younger. Trix scanned the room in search of Felix, he was not there."I cannot see him."

She had to marry Felix. She had to do it for her people, but how can she marry him when the man she truly loved stood right in front of her?"Trix why did you agree to marry him if you did not want to?" Hector asked."Because if I do not my father will be forced to find another heir. It will most probably be that little boy, oh I can't even remember his name." She continued to sob."Trix I'm sure there are many other men out there who you might like more than Lord Felix. Why marry him?" Hector asked.Trix bit her lip. Should she tell him? She loved only one man. She wanted to marry only one man."Hector, I love someone else." She managed to say.
Heiress of Rome Hector's Fate
Hector woke in his bed. A figure sat beside him. A woman? His vision was blurred and he could not move. What had happened last night? He remembers a man saying something to him then suddenly losing consciousness. How was he on his bed? Had a servant found him?Hector lost consciousness once more.He could feel the light as it streamed through a window on the roof. Then a knock came from the opposite end of the room. He tried to move, but his body failed to cooperate. The knock grew louder and more urgent. Had he be given some poison?"Hector open the door this instant!"Came Trix's voice from the other side. Hector wanted to shout for help. His lips did not move. He was frozen. He eyes were shut. Darkness engulfed him once more."Hector it's the emperor! Are you in the

Trix sat by Hector's side. She watched him go from bad to worse. He had a raging fever and the poison had not yet been found. The doctors told her that he might not make the night."Hector I'm here, I love you. Don't leave me. I only agreed to marry Felix because you were betrothed to Marcella." Trix confessed. She did not know if Hector could hear her. All she knew was that she needed him to get better she needed him. A life without Hector would not be a life worth living."My Lady, the doctors are here to see him." Fausta said with downcast eyes. In the past days the staff at the palace learned to be wary of their princess. She had more than once snapped at them and they understood her frustration. They had the best medical resources possible and yet a cure had not yet been found. The love of her life was dying and she could not do an
Heiress of Rome Waking Up
Hector could suddenly feel himself coming back. He could see the light, he could feel the heat of the room. The late thing he remembered was Trix pressing her lips onto his and he dove back into oblivion. He thought that would be the last. He thought it was the end. Then suddenly all of his senses began to awaken. He could hear the clamor of the doctors around him as they rushed in and out of his chambers. He could feel the heat, either of the candle or sunlight entering his room. He could smell the disgusting odor of the medicines they must have given him. But there was once sound he craved to hear, one scent he wanted to smell, one touch he wanted to feel. He wanted to know Trix was there. That she had stayed, that she had not given up on him as he lay dying. And if she had he swore he would win her back.Slowly Gravity managed to open his eyes, and for the first time in what seemed to
Heiress of Rome Promises Broken
"They saw you as country boy that they could manipulate. You weren't born into the lavish lifestyle of a nobleman." The Senator explained. "You are not only the heir to one of the richest families but also a close friend of the heiress herself. To them you were the ideal pawn.""I'm surprised you did not accept it father." Aquila said. It was the first time Hector had actually heard his father call his grandfather father."Why did you refuse?" The emperor asked."We left the society for a reason. I will not send this empire back a hundred years just to satisfy the needs of a few." Senator Julian said with much c
