Chapter: Chapter 68The next morning, Ryan picked Florence up from her tiny apartment in the Latin Quarter. She sent him a text last night, asking him to come pick her up..She answered the door with a bright smile, looking radiant in a yellow sundress with white flowers."Good morning," Ryan said, handing her a bouquet of fresh flowers. "I hope you're ready for a busy day." Florence's eyes widened as she took in the flowers. "They're beautiful," she said, burying her face in the blooms. "Thank you. What's busy about the day?"" You're so naive. You have a lot to make up for." He said. " Oh that." She giggled. Ryan smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. He loved making Florence happy.Their first stop was a quaint little bakery on the Rue Cler. Ryan ordered a selection of pastries and sandwiches, and they sat down at a small table by the window, eating and conversing. As they ate, Ryan told Florence about his business. He explained how he had started out as a young entrepreneur under his brother whi

Chapter: Chapter 67The next day, Ryan sat at the cafe opposite the hotel hoping to bump into Florence again but she never came. He came doing this for three consecutive days and he finally gave up. He decided to go to the cafe this last time. He would have gone to her office but he had no idea where she worked. " She's not coming." A lady said to him immediately he walked in." What?" He asked confused. He hadn't had any conversation with this lady yet she knew he was searching for someone. " That girl. She's not coming back." The lady helped herself to a seat. " How do you know?" " She only comes here once a week to get coffee for her boss."" And?" " He fired her." The lady said and his eyes widened. " Fired?"" Yeah. I heard that he felt intimidated due to her talent. She's a great talent, that one. Too bad, you can't have it all." The lady said and left. Ryan was left confused. If she had been fired, why didn't she say anything? Why did she act like it was all okay? Why? He kept asking himself

Chapter: Chapter 66" Look who's back from her honeymoon!" Sandra squealed immediately Beauty walked into the building. * Oh my baby. I've missed you so much." Beauty smiled. " Me too. I don't know about Elijah tho." Sandra rolled her eyes and they both laughed. " I'm sure he's too proud to acknowledge it." Beauty smiled. For the first time in years, she felt peace, she felt accomplished. She was finally happy. She had good friends, a nice job. Her family was growing by the day. Also, there's Mason. Who knew they'd end up together as real couples? Who knew that a fake contract was going to turn into love? She was glad to have met Mason when she met him and she couldn't ask for anything more. **** PARIS Mason sent Ryan to Paris for a solo vacation so he could spend more time alone with Beauty. He's been hovering over them, barely giving them any space since after the wedding and they needed their space. He needed to move on and find love elsewhere since there was no love for him in th

Chapter: Chapter 65The funeral service was held two days later. The hall was filled to the brim for someone who barely knew anyone and that made Beauty annoyed. People always loved to suck up to the rich for more power. Even after everyone has left, Beauty still sat there with heavy eyes regretting the last days of her mother's life. If only she had forgiven her the first time, she would have spent her last moments happier. But she couldn't, and it wasn't because of her mother's cowardice, she feared she was just like her mother. She had thought about leaving Elsa alone when they were kids but Celine was the one who held her down with talks of their parents good deeds. And now she couldn't even forgive her mother properly for an offense she committed once. Mason watched her from afar, he didn't know what to say to her, he didn't know how she was feeling, so he just watched. " I'll go talk to her." Celine gave him a reassuring smile. " I'm sure she's in a happy place." Celine whispered behind

Chapter: Chapter 64" What happened to you?" Beauty cried as she walked towards the bed. There were drips connected to every inch of her body. " Beauty..." Bella called slowly. " I'm sorry." " Shhhh. Don't say anything. Just listen, Mother. After I read your letter, I realized I wasn't angry that you left. I was just angry that you didn't care if you had left a letter or a hint that you were alive, and not let us live as if we were orphans. Things would have been different. That's why I was angry. If you had just told us the truth from the beginning, life would have been different.As I started reading your letter, I realized the pain and regret you've been living with for the past years, and I know nothing compared to that pain - the pain of losing your children, of seeing your children from afar and never being able to talk to them. I now understand you, Mother. I understand your feelings. I understand your pain. I wouldn't want to be away from my child, but you did that, and for that, I forgive y

Chapter: Chapter 63After the wedding ceremony, the newly wedded couple moved to the reception hall with the guests. There were lots of foods and games and most of all dancing. Although she was pregnant and Mason wanted her to take it easy, Beauty had no intention of resting. She was happy but her mind went to her mother's departure constantly. " I wish there was something we could do." Celine sighed as she noticed her little sister's uneasiness. " We did everything we could. Bella was the one who made the decision herself." Gregor said. " She had no intention of leaving. Heck, she had money so why would she leave all of a sudden?" Elsa shook her head.. " Maybe something happened." " I'll call her." Now even though the wedding ceremony was over, the fun was yet to start. Beauty stared into the eyes of her gorgeous husband. Today was the happiest day of her life and she wasn't going to let anyone ruin it not even her mother. But unknown to her, while she was angry at her mother for leaving

Everyone and everywhere was bubbling with excitement for it was the excitement of the season. “ Your Majesty.“ Miranda bowed her head slightly as King Archer walked past her. " The princess is still being dressed. “" Send the maids out. I want to speak to my sister alone. “ Archer said and she nodded. " Out. “ Miranda said to all the maids in the dressing room. When they were all out, Archer walked in looking elegant. " Another royal wedding. “ Archer sighed and she giggled. " I know what you want to say, brother. “ Bellamy said. " I was so sad when you weren't there for my wedding..... Seeing you right now makes me feel sad and relived. I wish I could spend more time with you but now you're getting married. My little sister is a full grown woman. It's hard to let you go. “ He sniffed. " You're not letting me go brother. You're lettin

Chapter: Chapter 63After forcing Bellamy into a red gown, they went to their separate rooms to dress up while Nicklaus stayed with her. “ You look beautiful." Nicklaus smiled. “ You've said that a million times. " Bellamy chuckled and he pecked her forehead.“ I'll say it over and over again. As much I'd like, I don't want to miss out again." He said affectionately. “ And you won't. You didn't miss out on anything. It was my decision not yours. So please do not feel guilty. There was nothing you could have done." She said and stared deeply immediately into his eyes. “ I love you Nicklaus. Nothing is gonna ever change how I feel about you. " She said slowly licking her lips seductively. “ If you keep doing that, we might just have to skip the ball for real. " He said huskily against her neck and she closed her eyes. “ I woukd love that." She moaned as he nibbled on her neck. “ Love what? " Arleta asked barging in unannounced. “ Get your ass up and let's go to the ball before we're too late. “ ...

Chapter: Chapter 61The thorough search for Bellamy's body began. It became fiercer when Rosemary narrated her vision. Everyone in the kingdom was at alert for the person who had taken the young princess. Rosemary's due date was almost near, so Archer had to stay with her and run the kingdom too. Queen Minerva was always at the garden since she came out of the room. It was as if she didn't hear the news of Bellamy's disappearance. “ Your Majesty, lunch is ready. " Miranda came to get her in the garden but she refused as usual. “ Let her be, Miranda. I'll ask the King to come speak to her himself." Cristin sighed. “ I hope he's able to. " ..THE FOREST OF THE DEADBellamy walked in the forest barefooted like she had no care in the world. Her body had long reunited with her soul the moment she disappeared from the cave. She came straight to the forest since it was the only place that felt like home. She had been waiting for days for someone to find her in the forest but no one came. “ Will they reall

Chapter: Chapter 60It's been two weeks since Rosemary saw her last vision. She was near her due date but she felt uncomfortable. She always had this fear whenever she went to the midwife for checkups. “ Relax baby. It's gonna be fine. " Archer would always tell her but she still had this fear. She didn't tell them the whole truth about what she saw. In her vision, she was told that for one to live again, another must give her life. She didn't want to be the one who would go neither did she want her baby who would be the heir to the throne to leave too. “ Your Majesty. " Miranda said walking into her room. She had actually sent for her when she felt the usual uneasiness. “ You've had a baby when you were my age right?" She asked and Miranda stared blankly for a while before nodding slowly. “ Tell me, Miranda. Was it this painful?" “ Your Majesty.."“ Just tell me."“ It was uncomfortable and yes, it was painful when I had my baby. But every woman has her own hormones. Yours might not be painful. " M

Chapter: Chapter 59“ Is she your mother?" Sebastian asked Bianca who had this blank expression on her face. “ I don't know. I don't even know what to believe again. How can my birth mother be this beautiful and I'm like this?" She feigned tears and Archer arched his brows. “ You're not sad coz she abandoned you, you're sad coz she's more beautiful." He said in belief. “ That too. I mean how could she leave me and still be more beautiful than I am?" She frowned. “ Your Majesty." Lady Celine bowed her head one more time waiting for Archer to talk to her.“ I didn't send for you, my lady. Your daughter did." Archer said and she stared at him confused. “ My daughter? You must be mistaken your Majesty. I don't have a daughter. Charles is my only son." Lady Celine said. “ Adopted." Charles muttered. “ We'll discuss this at the palace in two days. Come to the palace in two days." Archer said and she disappeared with Charles. “ Why did she disappear? “ Bianca asked. " What you saw was an illusion. She
