All Chapters of Your Greatest Mistake Was Me: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

VAELDRIC POVI had no idea where to start looking.Amelia's phone was off. She wasn't answering anyone. And I had no idea where she would go after leaving the manor.I called one of her friends. Nothing. Then another. Nothing.Father had just come out of his study when he saw me pacing back and forth. His cold eyes followed me. He didn't ask anything. His face was still hard, making me afraid to say a word.“She'll come home on her own. That spoiled girl doesn't know how harsh the outside world can be.”His voice was firm. There wasn't even the slightest hint of doubt. However, I knew Amelia wasn't that spoiled.She was a reporter who often went into war zones. Not as fragile as Father thought she was. But I stayed silent, letting the entire argument play out only inside my head.“Take care of the delayed steel supplies immediately. We don't have much time in this critical situation. The other matters can wait.”He walked away just like that. Making it clear there was no room for me t

I had attended enough royal events to know that none of them were actually optional. Someone could call it an invitation. Or simply, a request.But when the Royal Palace sent the message, the difference was mostly decorative. So when my mother told me I was expected at the National Arts and Design Exhibition, I didn't even bother asking if I could refuse."The Vermont Foundation has sponsored the student design program for years.""That doesn't mean I need to stand there.""It does if your name is on the invitation."I looked down at the invitation in my hand. My name was, unfortunately, very much on it.And here I was, looking like a lost person watching people pass by.The exhibition was being held at the Royal Museum of Arts, which had been transformed for the evening. The usual paintings and sculptures had been moved aside to make room for contemporary designs.Architectural models. Sustainable materials. Fashion pieces. Student inventions. Even several experimental vehicles.It w

My eyes settled on the man standing motionless behind, Vaeldric. All the authority and strength that had always defined him seemed to have vanished without a trace.All that remained was an exhausted man who looked as though he wanted to escape everything that had him trapped. But had no choice.Neither did I. I stood across from him, waiting to be torn apart, just as I had been before.The Royal Court was packed with nobles and members of the press, all growing increasingly curious about how our marriage would end. And every story buried within it.My chest felt tight, too, as I braced myself for every worst-case scenario that might unfold. Come on, Sera. You can handle this.The hearing began at ten in the morning.Vaeldric Ashbourne had dismantled nearly every accusation his own legal team had presented against me.He withdrew the claims that I'd abandoned my marital obligations, refused to cooperate with the family, and deliberately damaged the Ashbourne reputation.At least he ha

The Queen's private residence was as quiet as ever.There were security personnel, of course, but no crowd of reporters or curious officials waiting to see who came and went. Adrian led me through a side entrance and into a sitting room where the Queen was waiting.She rose when she saw me.“Lady Seraphina. I'm glad you came.”“Your Majesty.” I curtsied, while Adrian greeted his mother with a brief kiss on the cheek.Adrian pulled out a chair for me before taking the seat beside mine. The maid served tea, then withdrew at the Queen's gesture.“Please, sit. You may call me Your Majesty for as long as you like, but I'd prefer you didn't feel you had to spend the entire afternoon standing at attention.”I sat, uncertain how to respond. The Queen took the seat opposite me, then glanced briefly at her son.“Adrian informed me that your hearing has concluded.”“It has, Your Majesty.”“And I imagine you've had quite enough questions for one day. We needn't discuss the proceedings unless you

SERAPHINA POVBy the time Adrian's car pulled away from the palace, my face had become public property.Honestly, I would've preferred going home alone. If he was worried about me, he could've sent a few guards to make sure I arrived in one piece.But Adrian had insisted on bringing me home himself. Under the rather strange excuse, that he wanted to greet my family. Why? The longer I knew him, the more creative he became at justifying his own whims.“Your family must be eager to see you,” Adrian remarked as he settled into the seat beside me.“I'm sure they're eager to hear every detail of what happened inside the palace.”“Should I be worried?”“About what?”“Your family's opinion of me.”I gave him a flat look. He really had become a different person. This was no longer Adrian Valerian, the perfect Crown Prince and every woman’s dream of a future king.“You publicly escorted a newly divorced woman out of court and announced your interest in her. What do you think?”“That I made qu
