Chapter 34
Emily's POV
"Naomi. Put. Down. My. Son," I told her when she started rocking Christian back and forth in her arms.
My blood came to a boil but I quickly put a robe on and threw my bath towel to the side.
"This should have been my child— my child with Sebastian. Not Yours!" Her voice grew louder and Christian started crying.
"Naomi, just put him back in his crib, he has nothing to do with anything. He's a baby! Are you crazy? We can get you the help that you need."
"Don't you psychoanalyze me! I'm not crazy!"
"Okay." I put my hands up to look defeated and made small steps towards her.
She was distracted by Christian's crying and was humming a song to make him stop as she continued to rock him in her nasty arms.
I reached her and she handed him over to me without another word. Her facial expression was blank and she appeared to be distraught. I rested Christian back into his crib, and when I turned around to face Naomi again

"Your mom and I don't want you sliding on it because you can really hurt yourself one day. Okay?""Okay Saddy. Sorry Mommy." His grey and hazel eyes looked up apologetically at me."Good, now let's get you to breakfast."

Emily's POV"I guess it's true what they say about women with pretty faces: they're damaged goods in disguise."He peeled off the bed and threw his T-shirt over his exposed chest."David, you don't have to leave like this," I pleaded, but I actually wanted him to leave."Nah, it's all good Emily. I'm going to be fine. I wish you a happy life, and I hope you find what it is you're REALLY looking for."He left the room and shut the door with a very loud slam, which made my heart leap.I did it again. I chased away yet another guy because I couldn't find what I was looking for in him. Of course I wouldn't find it. I wasn't looking for something, I was actually looking for someone.I slowly walked out to the balcony and stared out at the horizon.A feeling of a pound of tears lingered on my chest like crashing waves. My breathing hitched while my blood ran cold throughout my entire body.

Emily's POV"Gen, for the last time! It wasn't Sebastian you saw at the club last night," I semi-shouted to my friend, who was still pleading to me about seeing my ex-boyfriend. "Think about it, what would Sebastian be doing out here?" I asked her as I got into my pair of heels."I have no idea, but I'm certain that I'm not mistaken.""Girl, you were drunk out of your mind last night. It's a wonder that you're not hungover, but that's excellent because we're heading to the construction site now."I took my purse off the table and checked myself in the mirror to make sure everything was on point. It was a habit of mine.I ushered Gen through my hotel's room door and took my car to the site where the new hotel would be established.______________"Boss, we have a big problem," one of my contractors said as I reached the site and got out of the car."What seems to be the problem, Jerry?""Th

Emily's POV"Are you shitting me?" Gen asked rhetorically as she threw herself face down in my bed in my hotel room, worn out from exhaustion."I can't believe Sebastian is a prince," I finally spoke while staring at my reflection from a wine glass.I poured myself another drink. I was having one hell of a day. First, I had to put an abrupt end to my hotel project then I found out my ex-boyfriend was the Prince of Conovia and I was summoned by him and his father about the rights of the land.I downed three glasses of wine— one after the other."At least share with me as well! I'm having a bad day too!" Gen snatched the bottle out my hand."No! Give it here Gen! Give it here!" I squealed and a competition to tug-of-war broke out.A sudden knock came at the door, putting an end to the battle of the wine. I got off the bed, straightened my clothes and opened the door slightly to reveal one of the hotel's rece

Emily's POV"A WIFE?" Gen shouted loudly when I told her how the dinner went. She had come over to my hotel room, again, and was drilling me for every detail."Yes, a wife," I confirmed."Em, if you were to marry him that means you'd become a queen. It would be a dream come true for you. You always wanted to be a queen. Remember when we were kids and we would play dolls? Instead of being a mermaid, you'd rather be a queen."I smiled warmly at her. Gen had always had my back. She was very supportive and called me out whenever I was wrong about something or did something that didn't fit my character. She was a real friend."I highly doubt he'd even consider having me at his side, Gen. He's not the same guy I left at high school. He's different. He has transformed."I got off the bed and closed the windows. The rain had been pouring down and it was beginning to get extremely cold. I cuddled up in bed next with Gen

Sebastian's POVHer sweet scent lingered around me. When she pulled away and I stared into her deep grey pair of eyes, I wanted to get lost in them. I wanted to wake up to them every morning for the rest of my life. I exhaled sharply as I remembered the message I received from my father.In order to take over my father's position in the court as king, I would have to marry someone, and my father thought it would be appropriate to marry someone already of royalty. Princess Naomi was from a neighboring country and was raised by her parents King Leon, III and Queen Emeralda.King Leon was cold-hearted and his people feared him. He made enemies wherever he went and that was one of the causes of his untimely assassination five years ago. The news was devastating to the Three Kingdoms, so the Queen of England advised my father that the next king of his court should marry the Princess of Scots to form an alliance and a much more united kingdom before the thron

Emily's POVThree Days Later"Em, why are you not dressed for the ball?" Gen asked as she poked her head through the door."I'm not going," I answered as I lay my head on my pillow, feeling sorry for myself.Gen was already dressed in a lovely purple and white dress that hugged her chest area but flowed freely from her waist down to her ankles. Her white heels, silver earrings and necklace added the finishing touches, and her makeup was extra flawless. I almost didn't recognize my best friend."You were personally invited by the prince himself, and you're going to turn that down because of what you thought you saw?" She was in the room and standing next to my bed."I know what I saw Gen!" I snapped and she put her hands up in surrender."Emily Hollen, you shouldn't be wallowing like this. Sebastian will be looking forward to seeing you. He invited you. If you want to get back at him, I think you should get your ass of

Emily's POV"He's getting MARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE?" Gen asked, her last words ringing out.We were back at the hotel in my bedroom, and I was sobbing like a child who didn't get their way.Gen came over and wrapped her arms around me. "It's going to be okay Em.""H-How?" I cried."Maybe... maybe he won't get married. Maybe he'll put you first and call off the wedding.""I don't think he'll do that Gen. His responsibility isn't to me anymore. It's to his father and his country. He won't give up the throne for me."I sat up and stared out the window, facing the now dark ocean. I felt hurt, but I had no reason to be angry at Sebastian for the way I was feeling. We were just rekindling a bond that had been broken almost ten years ago. I had no say in his life and his choices.My phone rang. I answered without looking at the screen."Why did you run off Emily? You didn't even give me a chance to explain things
