2025-03-13 18:53:06Duke Stark stood at the hospital door, contemplating whether to go in and see his daughter again or allow her some privacy. On second thought, he decided to leave for now. His heart ached, and his fists clenched as he stepped out of the hospital.
He was suddenly bombarded by questions from reporters. He was taken aback, wondering how they had found out which hospital they were in. He was flooded with questions he wished he had the answers to—questions about why his daughter had been abandoned at the altar on her wedding day. The flashing cameras almost made him lose his mind. Thanks to the ever-efficient security team he had recently employed, a path was cleared for him to get into his car. “Where are we heading, sir?” his driver asked, sympathy in his eyes. “The Reddington Palace,” the duke replied, tears welling up. The driver nodded and drove off. The duke intended to give the royal family a piece of his mind. The moment they arrived at the palace, he stepped in and walked straight ahead, ignoring the whispers and greetings of the staff and other palace members. His business was with the king and the useless boy he called a son. Meanwhile, the king grabbed his son by the collar the moment he stepped into the palace. “How dare you disgrace the throne like this? What do you think you are doing?” the king raged at the scandal his son had brought upon the royal household. His marriage to the duke’s daughter was supposed to solidify his rule, as the duke was a good man, loved by all in the Netherlands and across Europe. “Do you know the extent of the damage you have caused this family?” The king looked as if he was about to have a heart attack. The crown prince managed to free himself from his father’s grip and tried to catch his breath. “Why are you making such a fuss over this? Just because I didn’t marry some lady?” Prince Khalid scoffed, showing no remorse for his actions. “So she is now just ‘some lady’ to you, huh? Not your fiancée of over ten years? How cruel can you be?” His father was mentally drained by his son’s attitude. Prince Khalid opened his mouth to protest but was interrupted by the sound of clapping. They turned in shock. They hadn’t realized the duke had been there all along, witnessing the exchange between father and son. “Nice one,” the duke said as he approached them. “I took you in like a son, allowed you into my home, and you dare hurt my daughter! So my daughter is now just ‘some lady’ to you? After ten years of wasting our time?” The duke cried out in pain. “Please, calm down—” the king tried to reason with him. “You don’t tell me to calm down! You caused all this! When you proposed this marriage, I never wanted it, but you insisted it was best for both our families. And now, what do I get? Betrayal, shame, and mockery. Have a nice day.” The duke wiped the sweat off his face and stormed out, leaving the father and son in utter confusion, pacing the room. “Well, she’ll get over it,” Prince Khalid muttered, trying to console himself. “At least it’s better than living in a loveless marriage.” With that, he stormed upstairs to his room, leaving his father wondering how to clean up the mess. The king sank into his chair with his palm on his head, wondering what next to do.

Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 62
The sun had barely set when a knock rattled the wooden door of Isabella’s attic flat above the bakery. She froze mid-step, clutching one twin to her chest while the other slept in the cradle. Her heart pounded. For weeks, she had lived in disguise, under the name Elena, always looking over her shoulder, always expecting danger.This knock was different. Firm. Authoritative.Before she could react, the door opened with a creak, and three men entered, dressed in plain clothes but carrying the unmistakable bearing of royal guards. At their head stood Sir Roland, the King’s most trusted knight.“Your Grace,” he said softly, bowing his head. “We’ve come to take you home.”Isabella’s breath caught. “Home?” she whispered. “No. The palace is not safe. The palace tried to kill me—”Sir Roland shook his head. “The King knows everything now. The poison, Aura’s plots, Lady Miriam’s betrayal. He sent us not to command you, but to protect you. He swore on his crown that no harm will touch you or th
Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 61
The sun had barely risen when Isabella boarded the early ferry with her twins hidden beneath heavy shawls. She kept her head lowered, her features shaded by a plain scarf. To the ferry’s crew, she was just another weary mother traveling inland, clutching her children too tightly against the morning chill. But inside, her mind was roaring.She had killed Aura.Not because she wanted to, not because she planned to, but because Aura had come for her children and left her no choice. The bruise on her arm throbbed where Aura had grabbed her, and she could still hear the sound of her skull striking the hearth.When the ferry docked in the next city, Isabella didn’t pause. She exchanged her last jewels for cash, bought forged papers under a new name, and rented a small attic flat above a bakery. The twins fussed softly in her arms, but she kissed their heads and whispered promises.“We’ll survive this, my loves. Mama will keep you safe. Even if the whole world turns against us.”She took a j
Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 60
Aura’s ears had always been quick for favors and whispers. When her spy finally brought a name and an address — Sophia Daniels, a small cottage near the southern quay — her smile went hard like a blade. She booked the next flight without hesitation. This was hers to finish; she would not trust Khalid or any hired hand with the final act.The town welcomed her with damp clouds and gull cries. She moved through the streets like a woman on business, courteous and composed, the exact image of a visiting noble. At dusk, she knocked on the cottage door, holding a small parcel and a practiced expression of sympathy.Inside, Isabella was alone for the moment; the twins slept upstairs, their breaths soft under the thin blanket. She had grown careful in the months since her escape, but the shrine of normalcy she’d built made her vulnerable in a way palace life never had. When the knock came, she wiped her hands on her apron and opened the door.Aura’s smile was warm. “Sophia,” she said, using I
Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 59
One year later …The sound of typewriters clattering filled the narrow office where Isabella now worked as a secretary. Papers piled high on her desk, telephones rang constantly, and her boss—a demanding but fair businessman—relied heavily on her organization skills.It wasn’t glamorous, but Isabella cherished the job. It kept food on the table and gave her a sense of normalcy. No one there cared about palaces or titles; to them, she was just Miss Daniels, a young mother who was efficient, discreet, and hardworking.Every morning, she left her twins in the care of Mrs. Carter, her kindly neighbor, before walking to the office in her simple skirts and blouses. She’d type letters, arrange meetings, and balance ledgers, often sneaking glances at the framed photograph of Alexander and Amara on her desk. They were her anchor—her reason for everything.For a while, she felt safe. But shadows lurked beyond her fragile peace.*******Back at the KingdomPrince Karl was unraveling. His once-ca
Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 58
Under the cover of night, Isabella slipped out of the hospital through a side entrance, her hood drawn low over her face. The sympathetic doctor who had helped her escape had arranged everything—a change of clothes, forged travel documents, and a discreet car waiting in the shadows. Her heart pounded with every step. Every echo in the dimly lit corridor felt like the approach of guards. Every shadow seemed to stretch out like the hand of the royal family reaching to pull her back. She pressed a palm to her belly, whispering softly, “Don’t worry, little ones. Mama will protect you.” By dawn, Isabella was already at the borders, disguised as a common traveler. Her once-royal gowns had been traded for a simple cotton dress, her hair hidden beneath a scarf. She carried nothing that could betray her identity—no jewels, no royal insignias, not even her wedding ring, which she left on the hospital bed beside a folded note: Forgive me, Karl. But I must save our children, even if it mea
Her Ruthless Revenge Chapter 57
One of the King’s men rushed in, his face pale. “Your Majesty—Princess Isabella is gone!”The words froze the room. Karl’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Gone? What do you mean gone?”“She vanished from her ward. The window was found open. The bed was empty. No trace of her or the twins.”The King’s fury erupted like a storm. “Impossible! This hospital is surrounded by my guards. No one enters, no one leaves without my command!”Yet the reality stood before them—Isabella was missing, stolen away from under their very noses.Karl’s knees nearly buckled as the truth sank in. His wife. His unborn children. Gone.The King slammed his fist against the wall, his voice booming through the hallways like a war cry. “Seal the city! Find her! Whoever dares touch my blood will wish they were never born!”Aura lowered her eyes, masking the faintest flicker of triumph. Khalid’s hands curled into fists at his sides, his heart pounding—not from guilt, but from anticipation.The royal family had been thr
