Adrean's p.o.v
It made no sense how my guards had not seen Paula or Henry leave the palace. I was furious and very worried about her. She might have had feelings for him but there was just no way she could return with him without saying a word to me.
Moreover, she had that drug, maybe she got weak and really passed out.
When Henry walked in, I cleared my throat. He moved closer and punched my face.
I stumbled a bit in shock and held my cheek.
"If you ever lay a finger, or even look at my wife. I will kill you Adrean " he spat.
I stood upright and chuckled softly. I was fed up of his righteous attitude when he was the bad guy in Paula's life.
"You sure have some guts to say that Henry. The last time I checked, your wife had a broken heart because of you. Her position was even worse than a concubine. You are the bad guy and you don't deserv

Lauren's p.o.vI was in shock over what Paula had told me and the rest of the ladies. But it made sense, king Adrean wanted her at all cost and he was willing to be selfish. But dragging her was out of option. It was even worse because it could have ruined Paula.I sighed then stood up from the bed and walked to the balcony. I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind.The rest of the ladies were with Paula in the library while I chose to have a few minutes to myself.Was I suppose to write to the king over her achieved happiness and success or let it be. One way or another the king had to know about her, if a year was to go by without him knowing it would be a bad sign and he would come here to see if she really was doing well. Well no matter how I looked at it, Henry was now our king and this now was our homeland."Home sweet home," I muttered under my breath.&n

Paula was so happy that she and jack paid no attention to my words as they worked together in preparation for the coming day.Henry was very kind to Paula, even in public he made sure to hold her hand or kiss her for everyone to see.Many women were jealous of the relationship but they couldn't do anything about it."It's just a wedding you know?" Cleo said calmly.I turned on my seat and faced her with a glare."Just a wedding?. Just a wedding she says. Don't you know that it's a commitment of a lifetime?"

My other ladies were right beside her cheering her up.Henry slowly moved his hand and linked it with mine.I looked at him as he glanced at me with a smile then leaned in and kissed my head slightly.Lauren held Jack's hand and walked with him out of the chapel as we followed behind.My ladies knew what to do. They were to quickly go ahead in the throne room and see to it that the servants were ready with the wine and food."Paula are you...."

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 34. Defying fate
Henry's p.o.vYes, I did it again. I made her hate me and I felt so bad. I wanted to crawl on my knees and beg for her forgiveness. But she was already out of my sight.I sat all alone in the royal garden trying to hold back my tears. I was very stupid and cruel towards her. And I didn't deserve her at all. She was the most faithful woman I had ever met. She had a temper but yet so kind and gentle with those around her.Her carrying my child could have been the best thing ever happening to us. Just not at that moment.I was way out of my mind and hurting her was never my true intention.I stood up and took in a deep breath then released it.I could see what was right ahead of me. She was going to leave me. And now that her father was here. She wasn't going to hesitate or hold back.

I said loudly when deep down I was happy that he was right behind me."I'm sorry, but I just can't leave you alone." He whispered softly then moved closer and pressed his hand on my stomach.The serious expression I had worked hard to put on instantly disappeared. It was soon replaced by a wide smile.I was so upset with him yesterday. But the news changed everything. I was over the moon with happiness that all the hate and anger I felt immediately vanished. As he went down on his knees and asked me to stay. My heart fluttered and I found myself holding him back. I wanted to stay by his side no matter what. I wanted us to welcome our child together. But above all, I promised myself to fight for the family I was about to

Some even dared to laugh at her.She was always the center of attention even though she stayed far away from the people.Lauren was always careful to never let her know of how we took care of such gossip. At times we took matters into our own hands and sometimes we found a way around it. For years we worked hard and made sure Paula never came across such negative words.But then she got married and things became difficult.

It made no sense no matter how much I thought about it.How could one easily give up after going through so much for someone?Because of that, I couldn't even sleep much and Henry was upset with me.I sighed softly while I faced the balcony."Talk to me," Henry said as he approached me and sat next to me on the couch."Are you not upset with me anymore?" I asked sadly.He smiled then held my hand in his."I'm not upset with you in that way. I just don't like the idea of you staying up the whole night as if it's punishment. Paula, you are no longer alone, you are carrying our child. So before you decide to not eat or keep awake, please do think of that." He said seriously.I swallowed hard and nodded. I didn't know if I had to tell Henry t
