~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE~

MELISSA’S POV

The warm shower always resets me.

Steam curls around my shoulders, soft and forgiving, rinsing away the heaviness that seems to follow me everywhere these days. I close my eyes and let the water fall over my face, over my chest, down my spine.

For a few minutes, I can pretend I’m just a woman in a beautiful house in Athens—not someone constantly calculating threats, betrayals, and the safety of her child and loved ones.

When I fina

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO~ The PPO units storm through the palace gates minutes later, armored vehicles cutting across the courtyard as gunfire begins to thin. Their senior officer approaches, kneels briefly, then rises. “My apologies for the delay, my King.” “You’re here now,” I reply, voice steady despite the smoke still clinging to my lungs. “I want at least two of those masked men alive. The rest do not leave this ground breathing.” He nods sharply and signals his men. They advance without hesitation. Half of my security detail pushes forward to reinforce the firefight. The remaining officers close ranks around me. Nicholas stays at my side as we move toward the residence wing, boots striking floors that still tremble from distant shots. One of the security officers rushes toward us, breath uneven. “Your Majesty—Prince Albert escaped. Unknown armed men intercepted our unit and created a diversion.” The words hit like a blade. “No.” My voice turns cold. “I

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE~ As I continue cross-referencing the staff records, another detail surfaces—quiet, almost buried. One of the midwives present during my mother’s delivery died mysteriously two weeks later. Cause listed as sudden cardiac arrest. No prior condition. I still. I shift to the timeline surrounding my father’s death. Another anomaly. A palace maid assigned to his private wing, deceased within a week of his passing. Official cause: accident. Minimal inquiry. My jaw tightens. “Record their names,” I tell Nicholas. He does. I set the files aside, separate from the rest. Confusion gives way to restless energy. I begin scanning the vault walls again, slower now, observing structure rather than labels. That is when I notice it. One of the shelving units is slightly misaligned with the others. “Nicholas.” He joins me without question. I press against the side of the shelf; it shifts under resistance. It moves. Together we slide it as

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY~ Nicholas and I leave the shooting arena without another word, heading toward the secured wing at its far end where the royal vault is housed. The echo of our footsteps fades beneath the hum of reinforced steel doors and biometric scanners cycling through clearance protocols. Two guards straighten immediately at our approach. Nicholas walks beside me, measured as always. After a moment, he speaks. “I’ve been meaning to ask, Your Majesty… why is the vault so important to you?” A faint smile touches my lips—not amusement, but certainty. “The vault,” I reply, “contains the complete medical and historical records of every royal family member who has lived within the palace walls. Health documents. Psychological evaluations. Birth records. Death reports. Staff logs. Visitor registries. Every incident formally documented during their time here.” The final authentication sequence begins. “My mother died during childbirth,” I continue evenly. “Ev

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE~ A few people glance our way. I wipe the remaining tears quickly and straighten my posture. Then I walk back into the room. The doctor is there now, reviewing Nina’s chart. “We’ll continue monitoring her,” he says professionally. “She needs rest. Once she stabilizes fully, she can go home.” “Thank you, doctor,” I reply. He nods and leaves. Nina looks at me with swollen, tear-filled eyes. “I’m truly sorry.” I walk closer to her bed. “It’s fine,” I say gently. “You kept those things from me… and because of you, my son and I are alive.” Her lips tremble. “You’re still my sister,” I continue softly. “Families fight. They hide things. But they don’t stop being family.” That breaks her. She lets out a heavy, uncontrollable cry—the kind that sounds like it’s been trapped inside for months. She leans forward and wraps her arms around me. I hold her tightly, rubbing her back as my own tears fall silently. —- After a few min

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT~ Nina looks at me differently now. Not just as a friend. As someone who’s been holding something. “First,” she says quietly, “I need to say I’m sorry.” “For what?” She doesn’t wait for an answer, continuing, voice low. “For not telling you sooner.” Blake doesn’t interrupt. He’s quiet, attentive. She exhales, gathering strength. “It started when you were locked in the dungeon.” The word alone makes my stomach turn. “While you were in there,” she continues, “the Royal Court was divided. Some wanted you formally charged with treason.” Her words fall heavy. “With the evidence Jake presented, they wanted it escalated. Either trial… or let you rot quietly in the cell from starvation.” She pauses, as if weighing each memory. “There was a vote… not public. The inner circle decided what to do with you. But the King refused to sign it. He stood his ground.” Her voice softens. “Even though he thought you had betrayed him, he w

    ~CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN~ For a second, I just stare at the screen. The sound of Jacob’s voice fades into static in my ear. “Melissa? Hello?” My chest tightens. “Call me when you get to the hotel,” I say quickly, already pulling the phone away. “I have to take this.” I don’t wait for his reply. I switch lines. “Hello?” “Ms. Lawson?” The nurse’s voice is calm. “This is St. Catherine’s Hospital. We need you to come immediately. It’s about Nina.” Everything inside me goes cold. “I was just there this morning,” I whisper. “What happened?” There’s a pause. “She regained consciousness.” For a second, I don’t understand the words. “Regained…?” “She’s awake.” Everything inside me drops. Relief. So sharp it hurts. “Is she stable?” I ask, already standing. “She’s weak. Disoriented. But she’s asking for you.” That’s all I need. “I’m on my way.” I hang up and don’t realize my hands are trembling until I try to grab my keys. Oh,

    CHAPTER THIRTY SIX I gesture toward the couch politely. “Please… sit down.” Frederick lowers himself onto the seat, calm but curious. I sit across from him, my hands twisting on my lap as I gather the courage to speak. “I need to leave the palace for a little while,” I say softly. “Just a f

    CHAPTER THIRTY How dare he. How fucking dare him walk away from me like that, after kissing me breathless, after touching me like he owned every inch of me, after getting me wet enough to lose my damn dignity and mind. and then just… turning around and leaving? Is he insane?

    CHAPTER TWENTY SIX The word slices through me. My lips tremble before the question even forms. “So… that’s what I’ll be? A concubine?” My voice cracks. I hate how small I sound, how desperate. I never asked for any of this. I never wanted him like that. And I definitely di
