Theo's POV

“You are not the son I raised.”

The words wouldn’t leave my head, no matter how hard I tried.

I sat on the edge of the bed in the apartment Mr Livingston had arranged for me, staring blankly at the wall while my new phone rested on the bed.

My chest still hurts after the call with my mother. It wasn't a physical pain. It was the kind of pain that sat quietly inside one's chest, spreading slowly, touching every thought and every moment of silence.

I leaned forward, rubbing both hands

  • Royal Rivalry    Billy

    Rowan’s POVI didn’t even realize how long I had stayed there with Annabelle. And by the time I left the barn, the sky was already dark. That alone was enough to surprise me.Usually, conversations drained me. Especially recently, every interaction felt exhausting because people either pitied me, judged me, or tried too hard to act normal around me.But Annabelle had been different in a good way. I found her easy to converse with. And for the little time we spent together, she made me forget everything pressing down on me.I walked slowly along the stone path leading back to the palace, my hands tucked inside my hoodie pocket while cold wind brushed against my face.From the outside, the palace looked perfect, powerful and untouchable. But now that I knew how much manipulation existed beneath powerful families, even its beauty made me suspicious.I climbed the front steps quietly. The guards by the entrance nodded at me immediately and opened the doors.I had barely taken two steps in

  • Royal Rivalry    Butler's daughter

    Rowan’s POVSlowly, I was losing my mind.At first, I thought isolation would feel peaceful. I thought it would save me from the queen's wrath and Henry's judging eyes. But after days of being trapped inside my room, the silence became unbearable.Too much silence gives room for thinking and thinking was dangerous for me because every thought somehow led back to Theo.I tried to replace our bad memories with the good ones but it didn't make it any better. My thoughts circling around him was unhealthy for my mental health. But what else could I do? Who else should I think about?I shut my eyes and groaned softly, dragging a hand through my hair as I paced around my room for what felt like the hundredth time that day.The palace was massive, yet somehow it felt smaller as each day passed. I had tried everything to distract myself. I read. I slept. I played games. I watched random shows, even the boring ones. I practice piano until my fingers hurt. But nothing worked.Everything eventu

  • Royal Rivalry    Everywhere you go

    Theo's POV Mr. Livingston stood near the large window, his hands resting behind him calmly. He was busy watching the city below like he owned everything in it. “I’m here,” I said, announcing my presence. “Welcome,” he said without looking away from the window. I didn't say anything, and he didn't turn until a few minutes passed. When he finally faced me, his sharp eyes scanned me briefly before gesturing toward the chair in front of his desk.“Sit.”I sat, obeying automatically. I almost laughed at myself for that. I couldn't believe I had become someone who followed instructions easily. Taking his time, Mr. Livingston walked toward the desk and placed a small black box in front of me.“Your new phone,” he said. I stared at the box for a second before opening it. Inside was a sleek silver phone, thinner and more expensive than the last one.“You guys work really fast,” I muttered.“We prefer efficiency.”Carefully, I picked up the phone, checking it out. It was already set up,

    Theo's POV “You are not the son I raised.”The words wouldn’t leave my head, no matter how hard I tried.I sat on the edge of the bed in the apartment Mr Livingston had arranged for me, staring blankly at the wall while my new phone rested on the bed.My chest still hurts after the call with my mother. It wasn't a physical pain. It was the kind of pain that sat quietly inside one's chest, spreading slowly, touching every thought and every moment of silence.I leaned forward, rubbing both hands over my face. My head pounded from mental exhaustion, emotional stress, and from the fact that I was trying too hard not to fall apart.For a moment, I considered turning the phone off completely. I didn't want calls. I didn't want more people telling me who I had become. I didn't want more judgement and less understanding. But before I could decide, the phone started ringing again.An unknown number flashed on the screen. I stared at it for a few seconds, part of me expected Leonie and I almo

  • Royal Rivalry    A call from home

    Theo's POV The phone given to me by Mr Livingston still felt unfamiliar in my hand. Whenever it rang, I hesitated. Most times, I ignored the calls. But after giving the contact number to Leonie, I picked up the moment it rang. “Hello?” I said, pressing the phone to my ear. There was a brief silence before the caller spoke. “Theo.”My entire body went still as my mother's voice filled my ear. “Mom?” The word slipped out before I could stop it.“How did you…”“How did I get this number?” she cut in calmly.“Yes.”“Leonie sent it and she told me everything.”Leonie? Why would she do that?Something in my chest tightened, but I didn’t know if it was relief or tension.Leonie had promised to help. But I didn’t realize that help included this.“Is it true?” she asked. “Is what true?” I asked, feigning ignorance. “Theo...” The way she said my name with disappointment made my stomach twist. “Don’t do that.”I closed my eyes briefly, mentally preparing myself for the conversation.

  • Royal Rivalry    Anything for my family

    Theo's POV I didn’t sleep.How was I supposed to sleep when my life was about to spiral out of my control? Actually, it had spiralled but I thought I still had hope to get it together. But as things got more complicated, getting control over my life was impossible. By morning, I felt hollow.I needed someone to talk to. I needed someone to listen. I needed someone who shared the same burden as me… someone who would not judge me, but rather justify my reasons.Leonie was the only one who fell into all categories. So I called her before I changed my mind. I didn’t tell her much on the phone. I just told her I needed to see her and she agreed. ********I got to the cafe first, so I chose a corner table. Somewhere tucked away from people's eyes… somewhere people wouldn’t pay attention to us. Leonie wasn't in school because the judging eyes were too much on her. Since Rowan and I were sent out of Hillsborough, she said things had become unbearable for her. Just like me, she didn't te

  • Royal Rivalry    Warning from friends

    Theo's POV I shouldn’t have been smiling, but I was. Watching the video brought back everything I felt that night. I hate to admit it but if I was given the chance to go back to that night, I'd focus more on the kiss than making a video. But it's all good because I get to watch the video over and

  • Royal Rivalry    Captured kisses

    Theo's POV I knew exactly what I had done. It wasn’t poisonous, nor was it anything dangerous. It was a little way of marking my territory, a way of showing him who was in control. Just a crushed candy dissolved into his drink, he was already shaking like a jelly fish. What if I had added more? I

    Rowan's POV As he approached me, I knew my evening was about to get ruined. But before he could ruin it, I looked at him, not the gibberish side of him.
