TRISTAN 

I was never in support of this show called marriage, in fact everything was arranged by my Grandfather. He sees it as a way of repaying the kindness Mr Lawson did for him years ago and this whole thing irks me. 

I'm in love with Fiona who has brought nothing but happiness into my life. After my parents died in a ghastly car accident a few years ago I shut myself out from the world. I was left with my Step mom who made things worse for me. 

Thank God for my Grandfather who has always stood by me and supported me.

Apart from my Grandfather, Fiona has been fully active in my life and I love her so much, we were planning on getting married but my Grandfather insisted that I get married to Vanessa.

I could remember arguing with him telling him how much I hate the idea of getting married to someone I don't love let alone someone from a family that doesn't have a name.

No way! I was never going to do that until he threatened me with something I cherished so much, my inheritance and position as the Alpha king.

"What did you say?" I asked in utter bewilderment.

"Yes, you heard me right. I will seize your inheritance and make your step brother take your place as the Alpha king if you refuse to get married to Mr Lawson's daughter" He blurted out carelessly.

I was shocked, I never expected him to go that far, I'm twenty five years old and I'm old enough to make decisions for myself.

I agreed because I had another plan. I was going to divorce her and get married to Fiona immediately. He handed my inheritance over to me. I talked to Fiona about it and she agreed to wait for me.

I stared at the petite and beautiful lady standing close to me smiling innocently, she doesn't know what she was getting into, I caught her stealing glances at me several times, her eyes were so beautiful and it holds a lot of emotions, one can easily tell what she was feeling from her eyes.

I could remember how she groped my robe  the moment my lips pressed against her soft and plump lips, she acted like it was her first kiss. I know that she was putting up an act just to convince and get everyone to like her. That can't be me, I will never fall for her acts. I know women like her, they get married to wealthy men just because of their money,  They are gold diggers.

I was busy with the guests  when I saw Her arguing with Fiona and that angered me. I quickly excused myself and went to them. I can't let anyone treat her badly.

"What's going on here?" I asked immediately as I approached them.

"She's mocking me, Babe" Fiona complained to me, she was so sad and that made me furious. I quickly dragged Vanessa to the bathroom and leaned her against the wall while holding her hand tightly.

"Listen to me carefully, I want you to treat Fiona with respect, she's meant to be the one in this dress and not you! You will face my wrath if you ever disrespect her again!" My voice thundered and she nodded her head positively while staring at me, she acted like she was scared but I don't give a Fuck about how she feels. I finally let go of her  and walked away.

"Wait for me, Babe. I promise to fix everything and come back to you" I assured Fiona and we shared a hug.

The wedding is over and the guest has finally left the palace. We all live together and that was because of my Grandfather. He insisted we should all live under the same roof as a family despite knowing how much we despise each other, it's a miracle that we haven't burned down the Palace.

My Dad got married to my Mom and after having me, my mom died in a car accident while taking me to the park to play. It was a miracle that I survived but that incident never left me till this day. That made my father take a second wife, Bianca, who tried to make my childhood miserable.

She gave birth to Carl and Carolyn the twins after my Dad married her. Few years later, my Dad also died in a car accident which I think serves him right and since then my Grandfather has been so protective of us, especially me.

The world sees us as a beautiful and peaceful family because of the way we comfort ourselves outside the house. We try to look like the perfect family when we are outside but when we are at home, the story is always different. My step mom and Carl were my enemies and we never wanted to set our eyes on each other. She wants her son to be the heir of the .... family and take everything my Grandfather has. It was war and we have been competing with each other since we were kids. He's studying in another country far away from ours and I was excited about that because I was five seconds away from ending his life the last time I set my eyes on him.

I was  in the sitting room with Vanessa and we didn't utter a word to each other. I picked up the magazine close to me and kept myself busy with it. I can't believe the fact that I'm officially married.

 The maids came to the sitting room to officially welcome the Queen into the palace. "Get me a glass of water" I commanded one of the maids and handed my crown to her. I left the sitting room without taking Vanessa with me, I don't care whether she comes in or not.

My Grandfather sent it to me and soon we were sitting in his room while he lectured me about marriage. It was a very boring lecture and I had to pretend to listen in order not to annoy him.

After the lecture I headed straight to my room which has now turned into Vanessa's room. The thought of that irritated me and I swore never to have anything to do with her sexually. I opened the door and saw her coming out of the bathroom while a white towel was tied around her chest. Her body was wet and so was her long hair. She was about to come out of the bathroom when her towel got stuck by the door. She tried to pull it and her towel fell down to the floor and she was standing naked in front of me.

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FAKE BRIDE    096

    VALERIE The day I was banished felt like the end of the world. I had been led through the palace gates, my heart heavy with the weight of betrayal and heartache. I had lost everything, my title, my place by Tristan’s side, and my identity. The coldness of the stone walls and the quiet murmurs of the council that sentenced me to exile haunted me long after I left the palace, as I walked through the unfamiliar path to the unknown. I could barely hold myself together as the doors closed behind me, the finality of it all hitting me in waves.I didn’t know what would happen next. I didn’t know where I would go or how I would survive. All I had known, all I had been, was in that palace, by Tristan’s side. And now, that world was gone, shattered by lies, deceit, and forces beyond my control. The sting of the judgment burned deeper as I traveled far from everything I knew, haunted by memories of better days. Those days when Tristan and I were together, when the future seemed as bright as the

    CARLI stood in the doorway of my mother’s chamber, my fists clenched at my sides, jaw tight with anger. The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, and Lady Bianca sat at her bed, her back to me. She hadn’t even bothered to turn around as I entered, typical. She never took me seriously, but today, things were different.“Mother,” I started, my voice low but sharp. She didn’t respond. I stepped further into the room, my boots heavy against the stone floor. “We need to talk.”Still, no reaction. Her fingers continued to move through her hair, as if nothing in the world could bother her. But I wasn’t going to let her ignore me this time. Not after what she’d done.“I said we need to talk,” I repeated, louder this time, my voice growing more strained with every word.Finally, she turned her chair slowly, and her cold gaze met mine. Her lips curved into a small, almost amused smile, but I saw the faint flicker of something else behind her eyes. Guilt? Regret? No, not from her. Neve

    FRANK I stood there in front of the entire room, my heart racing in my chest, every breath sharp, shallow. The weight of my confession felt like it was suffocating me, but I knew I had no choice but to speak the truth. The lies had been eating away at me for far too long, and the time to come clean had finally arrived.“I……I need to confess something,” I began, the words trembling in my throat. I could barely keep my hands from shaking. The truth was coming out, and there was no turning back now. My whole life had been built on deception, and now I was about to tear it all down.“I’ve been a part of something terrible,” I continued, my voice a little stronger as I forced the words out. “I….” I hesitated for a split second, knowing how impossible it would sound, how deeply it would hurt everyone in this room. But I had to say it. There was no other way.“I was having an affair with Vanessa before her accident,” I confessed, and I watched the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces. My

    TRISTAN The heavy doors slammed shut behind Valarie as she left , taking the last shred of light from my world with her.I turned back to the council, my chest hollow, my mind reeling as their verdict was delivered with cruel finality.“It’s treason,” Councilman Eldric declared grimly, his voice a decree that echoed through the chamber. “Deception of this magnitude cannot go unpunished. By law, the penalty is death by hanging at dawn.”I felt my blood turn to ice.“No,” I said, voice low, dangerous. “You’re not touching her.”“She deceived the crown. She usurped the place of your rightful bride….”“She saved this kingdom!” I cut in, fury sharpening my words. “She held this house together when no one else would! And she did it while carrying the weight of secrets she never asked for!”The council murmured, some visibly unsettled, others remaining cold and unmoved. Bianca leaned against her chair, smug satisfaction curling her lips.Carl said nothing, but his expression was unreadabl

    TRISTAN The council chamber was unusually tense today but for once, it wasn’t working against me.I’d spent the last week tightening every loose end, making backdoor alliances with the few council members smart enough to see where true power should lie. I could feel the shift in the air, the subtle glances passed between them, the nervous fidgeting when I spoke.They were beginning to break.I wasn’t about to let Carl and his scheming mother destroy what was mine , what my bloodline had built for centuries. And as I laid out my case, the room was quiet, listening. Even Carl’s smug grin had faded.I allowed myself the smallest hint of satisfaction.Good. Let them squirm.“I don’t care what rumors you’ve planted in the streets,” I told them, my voice low and commanding. “The laws of Blackwood remain unchanged. The crown does not go to the one who whispers loudest but to the one who’s born to it. I am Alpha Theo’s heir. And no amount of manipulation will rewrite that.”Some heads nodd

    VANESSA The palace gates loomed ahead, tall and cold and impossibly imposing. I’d grown up seeing pictures of this place in magazines and news articles , the Blackwood Palace, the heart of power in our territory. It had always seemed like a myth, an untouchable world for people born with bloodlines thicker than gold. And yet, here I was, being ushered through those iron gates by a guard who barely made eye contact with me.I clutched my shawl tighter around my shoulders, the chill in the air sinking past my skin and into my bones. I wasn’t sure why I was here, not really. The invitation had arrived this morning, delivered by a pale woman with a stiff smile. She’d called it a personal request from Lady Bianca herself. And though my parents had urged me to refuse, to stay home, to rest , curiosity gnawed at me like an old, familiar ache.Because no one had told me a goddamn thing.Not about my accident.Not about what had happened while I was gone.Not about Valarie.Not about Tristan.

    LADY BIANCA I watched it all unfold from my window , like a perfectly staged tragedy. The garden below had once been a place for the royals to parade their lives, a stage for whispered confessions and stolen glances. But today, it hosted something far better, chaos.There they were. The two sisters.The last time I saw Vanessa, she was just a girl , all wide, innocent eyes and too much fire in her spirit for a daughter from a lower rank household. But now… now, she was a woman. And one look at her, standing face to face with Valarie, and it was no wonder the entire court had been fooled.They looked so alike it was almost laughable.So this is how fate chose to deal its hand.I leaned against the window frame, a slow, satisfied smirk curling at the edges of my lips. “Well, well,” I murmured to myself. “Looks like there’s a little misunderstanding between our precious sisters.”I saw the moment Valarie’s expression crumbled and the heartbreak flash across Vanessa’s face. And I reve

    VANESSA I didn’t sleep a wink.After finding that picture buried at the bottom of my mother’s jewelry box, my world stopped making sense. There it was, clear as day , a wedding photo. Not just any wedding. Mine.Except I didn’t remember it.And the woman in the dress beside Tristan… wasn’t me.Her face. Her smile. Her eyes. She looked too much like me for it to be a coincidence. My heart pounded as the weight of it settled into my bones.Why hadn’t anyone told me? Why was my name never mentioned? Why did my parents look like they were mourning at what should have been a joyful day?Why was my own sister nowhere to be found?I was done waiting for answers.The next morning, I rose early, the ache in my head still lingering but not enough to stop me. I dressed quickly, pulling on a long, pale blue gown one of the nurses had left for me and slipping out of the house before anyone could stop me.The guards at the gate recognized me, but I must’ve looked determined enough because no one t

    VALARIE I stared at the untouched cup of tea on my bedside table.The scent of lavender and honey drifted softly into the room, gentle and inviting, like every other night since I’d arrived. It was supposed to calm me, soothe me to sleep. But tonight… something felt off.I didn’t know why I hesitated. Maybe it was instinct. Or maybe it was the way the maid avoided my eyes as she placed it on the tray.I’d thanked her softly, and the moment she left, I sat on the edge of my bed, watching the steam curl upward from the porcelain cup. Something inside me recoiled.It had been a long week . Carl had kissed me and I’d kissed him back. Then ran like a coward. I hadn’t even seen Tristan, and guilt weighed on my shoulders like a stone. Everything felt like it was tightening around me , the secrets, the betrayals, the past I thought I’d buried clawing its way back into the present.And now… this tea.I wrapped my arms around myself and stood, walking slowly to the window, pushing it open so
