A Night With The King Chapter 17
Sophie stayed awake long after the king left. She couldn’t fall asleep. She knew he would find out about her being pregnant, at least the doctor had told her he would tell him if it is required, maybe that’s why he had her leave the prison and why he had someone bring her food once she got here. If only he knew whose child it was that she carried. She was sure he would throw her back into the prison and accuses her of lying on his name. She knew better than to ever let him know that the baby she carried belonged to him. The people of Otano would see her as an enemy, they already saw her as one anyway, she stole from them. If the news gets out that she is carrying the king’s child, she would definitely face the worst fate. Either way, she was already facing the worst. How much worse can it get? “What’s going to happen to us, baby?”She let out while holding her tummy, she wished there was a way out of all these, wished the real criminal would be found, and that the king would not sen

“Patrick, it is all your fault that I didn’t get to meet with that driver guy today, what’s his name?”Lance asked as he took off his clothes one after the other. He had a long day today and only had a fifteen-minute break. He just got out of the meeting and it was past nine pm. The most exhausting meeting he ever had. Those men were hard to get through to, if he ever had thought of persuading and making them see the reason why cutting their earnings, for now, would help a lot would be easy, it flew out of the window less than thirty minutes into the meeting, they didn’t want to listen to him. He hated how there wasn’t any woman among them, it would have been easier to persuade them if they were women because women have softer hearts and are considerate. Maybe it was time to replace all those bastards with intelligent and compassionate women who would put the needs of others in mind like his stepmother had done when she raised him as her son even though her husband cheated on her to
A Night With The King Chapter 19
Sophie was about to fall asleep when she heard the lock on her door turn, she sat up fast knowing it would be the king, he is the only one who would come to find her this late, she knew it was late because she calculated the time between when they had brought her dinner and that was five hours ago so the time was nine or few minutes past ten pm. Sure enough, the door opened and the king staggered into the room, his eyes found her on the bed and she hurriedly got off the bed and bowed in greeting. “Your majesty,”She let out as the smell of alcohol hit her, he was drunk. Why was he here when he was drunk? Did he want to question her so badly that he hadn’t bothered to sober up before coming? He could have slept it off and come to find her tomorrow. The king has a drinking problem and somehow always ends up getting drunk especially when he meets up with important people. It has happened so many times that she concluded that he drinks so that he can face them without fear, not like she
A Night With The King Chapter 20
Lance opened his eyes and looked around. He knew at once that he wasn’t in his room. He felt someone move against him and looked to see Sophie in his arms. She was still asleep. He couldn’t remember much from last night but all he knew was that after he had a drink which was too much, he had tried to fall asleep but he couldn’t so he dragged himself out of bed and somehow ended up by her side with her sleeping in his arms. How he was not feeling anxious waking up by her side was beyond him, instead, he wanted to watch her sleep. He shook his head to clear off the crazy thoughts and calmer refused himself from the bed that was too small for the two of them but somehow, they were able to spend the night together on it. He couldn’t remember what he did or said to her last night, he wasn’t naked but he feared he might have touched her in his drunk state. He should have listened to Patrick and not taken that alcohol but he had been having too many thoughts in his head and had only wanted
A Night With The King Chapter 21
Sophie stared in awe as guard after guard came into her cell room taking out all the things that were inside, she didn’t know what they were up to and they refused to answer her. If this was the king punishing her then not only was he an evil man, he was also petty too. She did nothing wrong. He was the one that came to meet her when he was drunk and insisted on laying on the bed with her even when she tried to send him back. Last night had been hell for her, she barely got any sleep being squished up against him and when she finally fell asleep, she was woken by him while he was trying to leave. The way he had asked her if anything happened between them the night before, if anything, it was enough to confirm that he really has no memory of what happened that night two months and a week ago. She wondered if it would have been different if she had not sneaked out that night before he woke up, maybe it would have been easier to tell him about the baby being his. “And be faced with gett
A Night With The King Chapter 22
The change of environment was so sudden that Sophie didn’t know what to make of it, it makes no sense that the king would want her to be moved out of prison and then he made sure to turn the dungeon into a mini hotel room just for her and now, he moved her to the emerald house. Sophie stood in awe as the guard opened the door to the entrance. “What am I doing here? Why did you bring me here? Is the king here? Is he drunk?”She couldn’t help asking. The guard has been nice to her so she expected him to answer all of her questions and yes, he did. “I don’t know a lot of details, the king is not here right now and he was the one that gave the instructions that you be moved here, I am sure you will find out soon, good luck,”The guard said and turned to leave. “Wait! Are you leaving me here alone?” She questioned. Yes, once he leaves, she would be alone because the place was separated from the main palace but connected to the king’s chamber by a single door and only a few people have

“Lancelot, I am this close to shaving off my hair and it is all because of you,”Patrick yelled out as they walked into his chamber, but Lance ignored him The man has been on his case all morning ever since he told him he had given instructions for Sophie to be moved out of the dungeon. He had reasons for making that decision and he wasn’t going to back out no matter what Patrick says. “Now, you are ignoring me!” Patrick let out in frustration. “I am not ignoring you Patrick, I am tired and want to rest, I have been up all day and about the affairs of the kingdom and now I just want to rest,”Lance said as he took off his clothes and walked towards his bath. “I will let you rest if you let me, need I remind you that you are not allowed to take a mistress until two years after your marriage and you are not even married yet, your marriage is barely two months away. A month and eight days to be precise, you can’t take a mistress now, it is too close to your wedding. If you had mistre

“I am not pestering you. I just don’t want you to do anything that you might end up regretting, you have a lot going on already.”“Yes, I know, thank you for your concern, Patrick but aside from the diamonds that are missing, Sophie isn’t much of a problem and I have reasons to believe that she is saying the truth about not taking it or having anything to do with it being missing,”He disclosed. He wasn’t so sure yet but he just couldn’t help but think that she was innocent, aside from her being pregnant, he really had nothing else to tie her to the supposed theft, because he had the guards search the disgraced queen’s house to be sure she didn’t hide it there and there was nothing there. She would not have hidden it somewhere else. Except, her baby daddy had been able to go there but the disgraced queen said there was no one with her. Lance knew he shouldn’t believe everything so blindly but Sophie has worked close to him for two years and she has never stolen from him even though sh
