All Chapters of Substitute Wife For The Cold-Hearted Prince: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The queen was right. I should be held responsible for the misfortune of the prince. I should be arrested and probed if possible. If I hadn’t gone out to have a work out on that fateful day all this ill fate wouldn’t have happened. Will I ever forgive myself if the prince should die for what wasn’t meant for him?I had returned home and my mom acted even worse than the queen. She blamed me for the ill fate of the prince and threatened to disown me if anything should happen to him. I just couldn’t bear this anymore so I had to lock up myself in the room and wept miserably for the survival of the prince.I wish I could turn back the hands of time to when he made up his mind to follow me while I worked out. I just couldn’t tell what would be the end of me.Uncle Charles who heard of the ill fate that befell the prince found his way to our house and pleaded with me to open the door. Already, I had spent four days in the room all locked up and starving myself for the survival of the prince.

“Take care of the prince. Take care of everyone. I will be back,” Imelda said, and began to walk away.“Hold on! Hold on!” I ran to her and grabbed her arm, “Where are you off to? We have been waiting for you all this while to wake up from the coma and now you are walking away. Stop this!” I yelled at her.“I don’t belong here anymore,” she said, a gentle smile formed on her lips. “I will be waiting for you on the road beyond.”“What road?” I asked and she pulled out of my grip and disappeared into thin air. “Imelda! Imelda!”I screamed and flinched from sleep. I sweated profusely on my face and breathed uneasily. “Oh Lord, what sort of dream is this?” I asked, and rushed out to her ward.When I returned to her ward, she didn’t look like it; she was still fresh and didn’t have any form of odor. I wanted to doubt the doctor but then he told me I wouldn’t sense any odor because the queen had spent over half a million pounds to keep her safe and neat so that nobody would suspect she was

I had been around home for over thirty minutes now and mom had not stopped blowing hot at me. The queen reported me to her and she had told me all sorts and including name calling for ever falling in love with the prince.“I don’t know what makes you all think I forced the prince to risk his life for me. Whatever he did, he did because of his obsession for me, and who am I to stop him?”“Oh really,” our mother replied me with her harsh, wild gaze which had gone crimson now, “We picked you as the substitute bride to the prince because we know you will show some loyalty to your twin sister and avoid any form intimacy. The cat is out o the basket and it is obvious you have been frolicking with the prince all this while you were in the palace….”“Stop this, mom!” I yelled and interrupted her…“Did you just yell at me?” she queried me, her face becoming so stony that I thought the moment she got to my side she would hit me, but then she broke down in tears the moment she came closer, “Look

When the doctor and some nurses opened the door to his ward, they met an empty room.“My Prince! Prince Reuben. Where the hell is he?” the doctor called and stepped to the balcony to see if he was there but he couldn’t be found. The nurses knocked on the door to check up on him; possibly he could be having a wash but it was to no avail.“Where could he be?” the doctor panicked, rolling his suspicious eyes and wondering about the whereabouts of the prince. “But we just spoke a few minutes ago and I told him we would be coming to administer some drugs to him. Where could he have possibly gone now?”The nurses were clueless about his whereabouts; they stood blankly and shocked in their spines. “Sir, do we raise an alarm?” one of the nurses suggested and added, “Possibly it could be a security concern. They may have kidnapped him or something.”“Kidnap?” the doctor retorted and chuckled, “I don’t think so. His personal guard is nowhere to be found too. I didn’t see him out there so I beli

Uncle Charles was well seated in his room, sipping at his wine when mom barged in and shot a worrisome stare at him,“My sister-in-law, you look restless and downtrodden. Are you not supposed to be asleep? It is late already. What is the problem?” Uncle Charles asked as he stood up and caught her eyes and grinned at her cheekily.She hesitated. “Are you aware that the prince has been visiting Emily secretly at night? Are you aware they have been spending the night together in her room?” my mother asked.Uncle Charles raised a thick brow and inwardly his heart leaped for joy. He was superbly excited that I had finally decided to consider the prince. He wished he could pop a champagne in celebration of my stand but then he gave her the look of uncertainty.“I am not aware. Wait a minute, are you telling me our honorable prince has been spending the night with us under this roof and we didn’t know?”“Stop asking me gross questions and see for yourself,” she unblinded the window, “There t
