Lauren's p.o.v I 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's P.o.v I stood next to Henry trying so hard not to cry as Jack and Lauren were pronounced husband and wife. She looked very happy and her dress was of the finest material with sparkles of gold. 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...." Henry cut his words short when the trumpets sounded. I held in my breath when a carriage approached us. A man who was riding his horse ahead quickly got

Paula's p.o.v I walked into the hall then halted my movements and turned to face Henry who was right behind me trialing. "Henry you seriously have to stop." 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

Paula's p.o.v I was in shock over what Bridget had told me. 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

Valarie's p.o.v  "Son," I whispered in fear.  He stood furiously facing the window.   He didn't have to say a word for me to know how he was feeling. At this rate, he was more threatening than usual. But there was still hope of calming him down.    "I really was never meant to love anyone. No one was ever going to love me anyway." He muttered under his breath for the fourth time.   "That's not true and you know that," I whispered softly.  He turned and stared at me with a cold, murderous expression. The warmth and love that was usually filled in his eyes when Paula was around was no longer present. In front of me was the Adrean most people in our kingdom feared and avoided.  And the rumor that spread was well know
