LOGINJessie’s POVFinal Day“I was really hoping we would raise our children together.” I said as I relaxed on the bed exhausted from our visit to the hospital. “What do you mean? We can still do that, you know?” “You can come over and we can…” I didn’t let her finish speaking, I stood up, grabbing her into a hug. I held her tight for a moment too long, she didn’t pull back either, just let the silence and the heaviness in the air breathe.I didn’t know when I started tearing up, I only realised when I felt the wetness of Ronnie’s dress cold against my cheeks. She pat me gently as she finally pulled away, wiping the down of her eyes as she met my gaze once again. “I'll miss you so much, Ronita.” I started, allowing more tears to fall freely from my eyes. “There will be no need for that, honestly. I will talk to the King about it. I’ll see how to make him agree to it.” She insisted. “There’s no need for that, Ronnie. Of course I’ll come to visit, but I can’t leave my mom behind.” Sh
Ronnie’s POVThe suitcase lay open on my bed with just a few clothes inside. I was still here wondering what to keep and what to take with me. As much as I wanted to feel comfortable enough there, I also wanted to make sure I don’t give my brain the impression that I’ll be staying longer than needed. I stood over the suitcase for a long moment, just staring between the suitcase and the closet. I made my way towards my closet and pulled out a few of my clothes, running my fingers over the fabric before placing them inside the suitcase. I got lost in thought as I began to fold them. ‘I'm leaving the palace soon, I was really hoping to see you before I leave.’ I don't know why those words from that text two nights ago suddenly popped up in my head again. Though I still left it unread, I couldn't just bring myself to stop thinking about it. Nine unread messages, from the same unknown number. I didn't need to verify to know who it was, I knew. And he proved me right. After the fi
Olivia POV“See you soon,” the voice on the other end said, already sounding excited about the night ahead.I smiled, admiring my reflection in the mirror, until the next sentence dropped.“Oh, and don’t forget your plus one.”I rolled my eyes so hard even when I knew she couldn’t see me.“Why does it matter if I come alone or not? It’s a fucking birthday party, not a wedding.”“I don’t know, Ollie but that’s what everyone is…”That was where I cut her off.“Ollie?” The other end went silent for a moment, she knew what was coming. “Let this be the last time you call me Ollie, Okay?”“Yes, your highness.” She replied stiffly.“I think I’ve become so lenient with you all, that’s why you think you can address me however you like.”Mena didn’t seem pleased but she didn’t complain, instead…“I’m sorry for the slip. I’ll get going now.”Before she could even end the call, I ended it myself.Before now, I never cared about whatever they called me, up until…“Calm down Ollie!” I muttered to m
Sloane's POV"I still don't understand why everyone is acting so chilled with Ronita's return..." Olivia complained, taking a bite of the fresh fruits the maids had just picked for us in the garden and prepared into a small serving of fruit salad."...or are you guys telling me that you've all given up?""Or maybe it's that Ronita has won you guys over as well?"She kept on yapping and yapping till I could barely hear what she was even saying or the point she was trying to raise."Here, my lady." A young maid said with a bow as she dropped the freshly squeezed fruit juice I had asked for.I took a sip of it and then dropped the glass, still looking into a distance as I watched the Kingdom members go about their day."Get me some of that!" Olivia said to the retreating maid before turning back to me."As I was saying..."Another yap session started, continuing for as long as possible.The maid finished squeezing the fruit juice and came back to serve us and Olivia was still talking lik
Levi's POV"You there!" I called, beckoning one of the Kingdom's informants.He looked around like he didn't think he was the one I was actually pointing at first."Me?" He said, before looking around.I didn't have to say another word, just kept staring at him with an intensity that made him realise he was the one I was truly calling.He walked up to me, bowing."Good day, My Lord..." He bowed once again. "How may I serve you?""What did Desmond ask you to research for him?""Desmond?" He repeated, brows raised."Are you intentionally trying to act dumb?" I snapped at him, my patience already wearing thin."I'm sorry your highness, it was just instinct. I didn't realise you were referring to Lord Desmond."My eyes went over his pleading figure for a brief second before I spoke again."I saw you both last night, whose information were you giving him?""My Lord, Lord Desmond only asked me to help him with the profile of people that visited the King some days ago and that was all I did
159Reuben's POV“Who the heck does she think she is?” I muttered, staring at the unread texts.Three texts.That was how many I had sent since I found out she was returning to the palace, and she had replied to exactly none of them.I set my phone face down on the desk, rolling my eyes at it for a moment like it had personally offended me, then picked it back up and checked the screen again out of habit, already knowing what I would find.Nothing.I put it down again.The first text was simple. ‘I heard you're coming back.’ Just enough to let her know I was expecting her without outrightly saying it. She ignored it.The second one, I had waited about a day or two before sending it, which was already longer than I usually waited for anything. She ignored that one too.The third one I sent yesterday. I hadn't planned to send a third. I had told myself two was already more than I would normally bother with, that if someone didn't respond after two attempts the correct thing to do was
Nolan’s POV“Please stay!”The words were so faint, that I almost thought I’d imagined them. It was like a desperate trick played on me by my own longing. But the grip on my wrist was real. Her fingers, though small and still slightly trembling, held onto me as if I were her only hope.I turned slo
Ronnie's POV Her words were sharp in my head, making me turn instantly."Enjoy your breath while you still have it." She continued through the mindlink as our eyes met, a wide smile spread across her lips. The rate of my heartbeat became even faster and I couldn't even understand what was going o
Ronnie's POVImmediately the doors of the room fell open, my chest tightened and my throat instantly went dry.He stepped in graciously, his hands moving across his hair for a bit before his eyes dropped to me.I didn't fail to notice how his eyes went over me from my head, down to my toes. The loo
Nolan's POV "Whatever it is?" I whispered softly in her ear as I watched her shiver under my touch. I could read her heart, the sincerity that floated in it, but I doubt she was ready for what I was about to ask. Her throat bobbed then she finally nodded. "Yes..." She tried to sound firm, but sh
