Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Three: The Red Dress Again?

~Amber’s POV~The cold air hit me the moment I got outside and I stopped gasping but still could not find breath.It was there, the air, all of it, surrounding me, and my lungs refused to accept it properly. I bent forward with my hands on my knees and tried, one breath, another, each one shallow and insufficient.In between I wanted to cry.No. I wanted to do more than that. I wanted to scream, pull at my hair and scream some more until whatever was sitting in the center of my chest came loose.“Princess.”My brain had already registered the sound of his voice and kept in a place where if I could, I would be happy not to recognize it because I simply didn’t want to hear it again. “Leave me alone.” I managed to grit it out despite the air situation. “I am really not in the mood, Ian.”“You remembered my name.”The gleeful quality of four words mixed with everything else already inside me and the irritation that rose was immediate and complete.Of course I remembered his name. I had

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Four: He Knows.

~Amber’s POV~It had happened in a sequence after Ian’s words.Confusion mixed with curiosity had taken hold but I had not let it grip me, so I turned after giving one final and utterly cold glare at Axel and walked back into that hall with my head held high, not caring for who I did or didn’t have.The ceremony had been completed with Roxanne, very much surprisingly, dropping the coldness long enough for it to be done.Then the overwhelming realization had hit that I was Queen.Amber Crystabel Moon, Queen of the Realm.It had taken a second more to settle and once it did, a part of me simply owned it. Owned the fact that I was the Queen, not the stares of disappointment, not the open contempt I encountered as I did the obligatory rounds of engaging with people, trying not to let my anger boil over at Axel and the fact that the woman — apparently Ian’s sister — was still here. Beside him. Talking to him.And even more infuriating was the fact that his eyes were transfixed on me. I r

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five: Chained... Really?

~Amber’s POV~Air seemed to have suddenly become my nemesis in life.Because for the second time in less than twenty four hours I couldn’t breathe again.“What?” It came out as a squeak.“You didn’t hear me? You want me to repeat it?” He said it with a calm that was somehow worse than shouting, and with each step he took around the bed toward me, something gripped me that I had not expected and I unconsciously shuffled backwards.“What?” He went on. “You can’t answer? You don’t have anything more to say? Because you sure did twenty seconds ago.”Roxanne had gone completely still inside me but I felt it — the thread of excitement lacing underneath her silence that he knew.That he finally knew. I on the other hand could only find a stutter. “I… I…”“You what?” He snapped and the calm cracked, just slightly, just enough.Okay. Now he was angry.“You thought it was funny to play me for a fool right from the moment I met you? I used every single resource I had to look for you. I fell und

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Six: Twenty One Weeks

~Amber’s POV~The first week was the hardest.Everything completely went downhill and I lost count of how many times I wanted to pack up and run away because in between all of it was the heartbreak — and yes, my heart did break— because true to his words, he left.At exactly 5am. And I knew because I had stood by the window of the room I hadn’t been able to take a single step out of and watched him.Watched him leave without once looking back, without hesitation, without anything, and I stood there until the car disappeared and then I stood there some more because my feet had simply forgotten what they were for.It was only when the sun came up fully that I finally moved and faced what was waiting for me.The true understanding of just how much it took to be Queen of the Realm.I realized that everything the council had told me was theory.The practical came three hours after he had left. A dispute that needed immediate attention, a border conflict that had been simmering for weeks a

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven: Stalker Axel

~Axel’s POV~“You know what you are doing is trying to get her attention so why don’t you just pick up the phone and call her. Or even more obviously, get on a plane, the private jet which you have and go see her.”I leaned back in my chair and looked at Zane across the desk, taking in the expression on his face that had been cycling through variations of the same thing for five months now. Frustration wearing different clothes depending on the day but always, unmistakably, the same frustration underneath.“Do you know what I just realized?”“I already know I am going to regret asking this but what?”“That you have not shut up for one single second over the last five months.”The glare he gave me in response had been hardening incrementally with each passing day, like something that had started soft and been left out long enough to set permanently. “That is because you completely went downhill the moment you got back and yes, I understand that she lied to you. I understand it and I

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight: The Universe Has It Out for Me cSpecifically

~Amber’s POV~Was I a coward?The answer would have been a capital NO because I was brave, which was exactly why I got into so many unprincess-like situations, but today that capital N and that capital O had slowly shrunk into lowercase letters before eventually rearranging themselves entirely into the three lettered opposite.Because I had arrived at the mansion with all that bravery sitting on top of my racing heart, knowing full well, if I was being honest with myself, which I was trying very hard not to be that I had timed my arrival specifically because I knew he would be at the company by then.Which would give me enough time to settle my nerves. To walk through the space. To get used to being in the same proximity as him before actually having to be in the same proximity as him.Unfortunately for me, he was there.I felt it the moment I stepped inside the mansion. That particular awareness that had never once failed to announce him regardless of how much I wished it would. So

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine: Asher

~Amber’s POV~Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.Plink. Plink. Plink. Plink.Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.That was how silent the hospital ward was.So silent that I could hear the clock hand moving, the tap in the bathroom that refused to close fully, and the machine I had been was hooked up to that had been announcing my vitals to no one in particular. And in the middle of all of that silence, the two of us, as in me in the hospital bed and Axel who had arrived thirty eight seconds ago, approximately six hundred seconds after I had given birth to a child I had not known I was having just stared at each other.The baby was asleep in my arms.I had been cycling through things to say for what was now sixty seven seconds and not a single one of them was working.“The beard is new?” That one was going for comedy and given everything, the five months, the things that had been said, the small baby currently sleeping between us, there was simply nothing funny about this situation. “You look

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: Too Easy

~Amber’s POV~I let the shock that immediately turned to irritation mixed with anger stay on his face for exactly three seconds before the grin I could not contain anymore spread across mine.“I’m joking. I’m joking.”The anger faded into just irritation and that alone made the grin slip. “Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. I will behave myself from now on, I promise.”Silence followed and for a moment the two of us just stared at each other while he gently rocked Asher since I supposed we were calling him Asher and then the question that had been sitting at the back of my throat since he walked in took root properly and I had no choice but to voice it.“How are you so sure he is yours?” My voice came out quieter than I intended. “I mean, he is. You are the only person I have ever been with and it was the night that started all of this but…”I trailed off not entirely sure how to finish that sentence.“I might not be as good with numbers as you but I do know how to calculate.” He said it evenly.

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One: And So It Begins...

~Amber’s POV~It felt… anticlimactic. Right?Again with me pushing questions at no one in particular when I knew I would not be getting answers, because I genuinely had no idea who I was even asking and the ceiling of this restaurant was not about to start talking back to me.“Amber.” The fingers snapping in front of my face pulled me back and I blinked at Rosella meeting the frown that had been sitting on her face for the better part of this lunch.My mouth opened to apologize, which would have been the fourth time, but she got there before I could.“Why would you agree to have lunch if you were just going to spend the whole time staring into space?”“I know, I know. I’m sorry.” The same words I had said the last three times and from the look I received in return I could see she had reached the absolute limit of how many times she was willing to accept them.I closed my eyes, ran my hand through my hair and tried to find a way to explain the thing I had been trying to explain to my

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Two: The Plan

~Axel’s POV~“If I wasn’t so drop dead gorgeous myself, I would have thought it unfair that people like you existed.”The raspy voice met me the moment I stepped back into my office and my eyes immediately narrowed with irritation, finding Demi’s turned up lips before anything else in the room.My lips parted but she beat me to the exact question I was about to ask.“Please don’t be so cliché to ask how I got in here.” She drawled. “You are way too hot for that. And if you must know, that’s a door. I walked through it.”“Then walk right back through it and get out of my office.” I deadpanned moving past her to take my seat. She chose that moment to lower herself into the seat opposite me, crossing her legs with the deliberate slowness of someone making a point entirely through movement. For a very brief second my eyes registered it before they came back to her smiling face, the kind of smile that anyone stupid enough would let their guard down for if it was ever directed at them.“
