Sammie's PovWhen I learnt that Rose had gone in search of Blake at the palace , I was so mad. She only wasn't sorry for cheating on me ,but still had the nerves to go after him. She had told me that she had no love for me and was going to leave.Veronica had informed me that Rose visited and requested that I let her deal with her a bit. I objected and told her that I was going to deal with Rose in my own way but she could lock her up in a dungeon for a few days.This was the best time to get Hardin, Rose's father locked up for all his past drug scandals, he was her strength and since I was sure Blake would never want to have anything to do with her, it was best I took away what made her strong.It was even annoying that she wanted a divorce which I had refused giving her.I couldn't believe that Rose had the audacity to try and leave me, after everything I had done for her. I had taken care of her and provided for her, even after finding out about her affair with Blake.But now, she

Hardin's povAs a father, it was heartbreaking to learn that my own daughter had betrayed her husband and had an affair with someone else. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Sammie came to me with the news. I was disappointed in Rose for making such a grave mistake and putting her marriage at risk.But even worse was the fact that Sammie had reported me to the police, and now I was facing the consequences of my own actions. I knew I had messed up in the past with my involvement in drug scandals, but I had hoped that I could make things right and start over.But now, with Rose's infidelity and Sammie's betrayal, everything seemed to be falling apart. As a father, I blamed myself for not being there for Rose and guiding her in the right direction. Maybe if I had been a better father, she wouldn't have made such a mistake.I wished I had never forced her to marry Sammie, but at the time, it seemed like the best decision. Now I realized that I had been wrong, and it had only cause

Veronica's PovI couldn't believe it when I found out that Blake was still avoiding me. I had been so sure that I could use our daughter Flora to get closer to him especially now that I was sure his closeness with Rose had been tampered with, but he seemed to be keeping his distance. It was like he didn't trust me anymore. I thought of ways to get him comfortable ,but I guess he was keeping his distance because each time we came together, it resulted into being intimate.I couldn't help feeling devastated. I had always been in love with Blake, even before he met Rose. But it seemed like he only had eyes for her. I couldn't accept that he had moved on so easily from our relationship. Ever since Maria's death ,I was so sure that Blake had never gone after any woman but just me, and now Rose had saturated his mind with thoughts of her.This made me so sad ,as I could only think of ways to get rid of her for good. The only issue was that ,I was allies with Sammie and he had always told me

Liliana felt a knot form in her stomach as the council spoke to her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. They wanted her to pretend to accept the role of queen instead of her brother Blake, who was next in line to the throne. It didn't feel right to her.She knew that Blake had been preparing his whole life for this role, while she had never even considered it. It wasn't fair for her to take it from him just because the council thought it would be easier for him to find a bride if she wasn't in the way.But Liliana also knew that there was a sense of urgency to the situation. The king was unconscious and could die at any moment. If they didn't have a new queen in place soon, there could be chaos in the kingdom.She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She had to think this through carefully."I understand the situation, but I don't know if I can pretend to accept the role of queen," she said slowly.The council members exchanged glances, and Liliana could sense thei

As Blake walked into the restaurant, he was greeted with the familiar smell of Sharon's cooking. It had been a while since he had visited, and he had missed the delicious food. He scanned the room, searching for a spot to sit and enjoy his meal when he spotted Rose, sitting at a table in the corner.He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw how pregnant she had become. His heart raced as he walked over to her table. "Hi, Rose. It's good to see you," he said, trying to keep his cool.Rose smiled and replied, "Hi, Blake. It's good to see you too." They both sat in silence for a moment, unsure of what to say next.Finally, Blake spoke up. "I wanted to apologize for what happened with your husband. I didn't mean to cause any trouble for him, and I hope he's doing okay."Rose looked down at her hands and replied, "He's fine". "He actually quit the job himself. I think he knew how important it was for you too to have an income, especially with the baby on the way", Blake saidRose was surpr
