Chapter TwelveThe Third RuleSophie’s POVMy eyes remained wide open as I stared at him, struggling to comprehend the meaning behind his rule.“W..what do you mean?” I stuttered, finding it hard to grasp the implications of his words.He clutched my hand, his face contorted with clear disdain and animosity. I was utterly bewildered. Why did he harbor such intense resentment toward me when he was the one who had wronged me? How could he despise me when he had pushed me away without granting me the opportunity to explain myself, terminating our love story without hesitation?I should have been the one consumed by anger, the one unable to forgive him for his actions, not the other way around. To the best of my recollection, I had always acted in Maxon's best interests, and I had never considered betraying his trust. Yet, he had shattered my trust and the love I held for him in mere moments.I found myself ensnared in this situation because of him, facing numerous difficulties and strugg

Chapter Fourteen The DonorSophie’s POV"Mom? You have a child?"I turned slowly to meet Maxon’s glaring eyes, they were demanding an explanation, a reaction which I find difficult to understand.I stood up slowly, holding Amara’s hand, I had tried my best for years to keep my kids away from him, I didn’t even want him to know that I had his kid, but now he was face to face with one of them, what do I do? I didn’t know what to say to him, if I should tell him this is that they were his kids, if I should inform him that I bore his kids and one of them was even in a critical condition at the moment, how do I tell him these?I didn’t know what to do, or what to say to him, I didn’t know if it was the right time to tell him about his kids, or I should just keep it to myself and walk away.I hung my head, still holding Amara’s hand, different thoughts ringing through my head. I had decided years ago to keep my kids away from him. The man who couldn’t protect me years ago, how would he pr

Chapter SixteenThe Donor 2Maxon’s POVI was thoroughly confused and struggled to grasp the woman's meaning. The idea of donating blood for someone I didn't know was perplexing. I couldn't comprehend why she was making this request, who this mysterious Asher was, or why I had to be involved in such a situation. I shook my head, seeking clarification."What are you talking about? What do you mean?" I asked in hopes of getting a clearer explanation.She continued to hold my hand and pressed, "We have just ten minutes to save him, and you are the only one who can help. Please, you must do it."Her words still didn't provide me with the answers I needed. Donating blood for someone I had no connection with seemed unreasonable to me, especially if it was related to Sophie, the woman who had caused me immense pain. If withholding my blood donation would cause her pain or distress, I was prepared to do just that. I yearned for her to face consequences for the anguish she had inflicted on me.

Chapter EighteenLies. Deceit.Maxon’s POVI felt the heaviness of my eyes, and I forced them open, one after the other. My head spun as I stared at the ceiling. At first, it was as if I was in the middle of nowhere, lost in an unknown land, unable to comprehend my surroundings. I tried to tilt my head to the sides to check where I was, but my head felt so heavy that I couldn't move it. I let out a sigh, wondering what was happening to me, why it felt like I was lost and why I couldn't move my head.My entire body felt heavy, as if a weight had been suspended on me, pinning me to the bed and preventing any movement. I sighed again, closing my eyes to think about my current situation, but my mind remained blank. All I could focus on was my present condition, my location, and why I couldn't move.I opened my eyes once more, gazing at the neatly painted white ceiling, trying to piece together where I was. My mind remained blank until I heard her voice."Maxon!" She shouted and rushed to

Chapter Twenty-oneMy Kids 2Maxon’s POVI couldn’t believe that she hid something like this from me, she hid the fact that she was pregnant with my kids and went away with him.What was she trying to do? Was she going to give my child to another man? Was that her plan? My body shook with rage, how could she do that to me!“Why did you lie to me?” I asked, my voice hardening, “why did you lie and keep my kids away from me?”“Why won’t I keep them from you?” She yelled and pushed my hand away, glaring at me with her tears filled eyes. “Why won’t I lie to you when you threw me out of the kingdom without listening to me?” She shouted.I grabbed her hand again, “you knew you were pregnant, but you couldn’t tell me, you knew you were with my kids but you went away with them, how could you!”I glared at her, her tears didn’t move me an inch. All of the days since the last six years has been pain for me, I have had to live with the anguish and pain of what she did to me. She broke my love, m
