Semua Bab Engaged To The Royal Playboy : Bab 21 - Bab 30

The room was all echoing my name. That was all I could hear from left to right. Just as I planned to escape from this spotlight, Reuben wouldn’t let go of me… He continued to hold me tight but to my surprise, the queen didn’t make a move to come close to me in any way. I was expecting her to come and pull me out of the ball and maybe embarrass me with a slap but all she did was stare back at me with a frown and anytime the cameraman's attention was on her she smiled like everything was perfect.“Wow, I guess I made a really good pick..it is none other than my wife who ended up being my dancer on my birthday night,” Reuben said into the microphone which was handed to him after the dance ended, I looked up at him in surprise to why he was suddenly acting so nice to me but all he did was whisper to me.“Smile to the camera, the world is watching and I am more than sure you won’t like them to see a frown on your face.” After those words, I immediately had a wide smile on my face as I wave

And to my disbelief, Rueben seemed very happy with her words. He was seriously looking forward to having an intimate session with Rachel despite how he had just supported me earlier. My heart sank as I watched Rueben's attention shift towards Rachel. It was as if I didn't exist anymore, and it hurt more than she could bear. I couldn't understand how Rueben could be so happy and excited about meeting Rachel, especially after everything that had just happened. I tried to keep my composure, but deep down, I was terrified. I couldn't shake the feeling that Rueben might leave me for Rachel. The thought of losing him to someone else made my heart ache. Every time Rueben attempted to excuse himself to meet Rachel, I found a way to keep him by my side. I didn't want to appear clingy, but I couldn't bear the thought of him going to Rachel. I held onto his arm tightly, pretending to be scared of the crowd or feeling unwell, just to ensure that he wouldn't leave me alone. Rueben seemed confus

I walked slowly towards the palace barefooted after Martha had convinced me to rest instead of causing more commotion for myself by seeing Rueben. After entering my room, Martha helped me take off my dress as I had become too weak to do anything due to all the tears I had shed.“I would go prepare the hot tub for you to rest in,” Martha said, leaving me standing as I didn’t even have enough energy to leave that place and return to the bed. I was only in my lingerie as I stood still unaware of my surroundings and all I did was stare directly at the window which was still wide open from my escape earlier. I could still see people going in and out of the party with a wide smile while I was here, depressed from all the emotions I had wasted on that ball.I didn’t know when I slowly paced towards the window and the fresh breeze blew on my face making me unknowingly smile.“My queen, your bath is ready. Should I escort you to the tub?” Marta asked, I turned around to face her with the same

I woke up the next morning with a wide smile on my face. I have never felt this happy since I stepped foot into this palace. I even woke up before Martha could come wake me up, just to show how joyful I was with all that was transpiring in my life.I heard a soft knock on the door, and Martha's voice called out, "Naomi, are you awake?"I couldn't help but grin as I called back, "Yes, Martha, I'm awake!"The door swung open, and Martha entered the room, a surprised expression on her face. "Well, well, well, look who is up before I even had the chance to wake you," She said, a playful tone in her voice.I chuckled, feeling a sense of lightness and joy in my heart. "I couldn't sleep in today, Martha. There's just too much happiness bubbling inside me."Martha's eyes widened, and she rushed over to me, excitement evident on her face. "What happened, Naomi? Did something wonderful happen?"I couldn't contain my smile any longer as I recounted the events of the previous night, starting with

I ran out of my room as fast as my leg could carry me towards the queen and king's room. Just as I ran through the hall, I realized I had never really met the king before. I had only seen him once or twice. I had heard a few times that he was sick, which was why I had to be called to the palace, because Rueben can’t be pronounced the king without a queen by his side. As I got closer to the room, I saw the guards all around the bedroom with a few maids around and their expressions were very sad. I continued to move forward as I was more than sure that the other royals were in there and it would be bad if she was excluded.I paced slowly into the room and Rueben looked like someone who had a lot of tears in his eyes but couldn’t let it out and then I looked at Demetrius and he wasn’t even shading a tear. His face was just stiff like he was angry with his father for some reason but the Queen was putting on a great show with her loud tears and wailing, pleading for the king to come back
