For the second time, Lance found himself waking up beside the woman who he shouldn’t even be this comfortable within the first place. Unlike the last time, this time he had been sober when he asked her, no, commanded her to let him share a bed with her, she had no choice but to allow him because no one can say no to him, except Patrick. That mudafucker has zero respect for him. Lance couldn’t deny the fact that he slept better with her around, maybe it was her or maybe he just needed someone close to be able to fall asleep. The first night he slept with her, he didn’t have any nightmares and last night was the same too. Not to mention he was comfortable in her presence. He watched her sleep. The woman was a hell of pretty. She caught his attention the first time she started working at the palace and she had been respectful, polite, and well spoken, he didn’t have to repeat himself twice for her to get what he wants, not to mention she never grumbles or anything when he calls her at an
“She is not a thief, at least not until it is proven beyond doubt that she stole,”Lance reprimanded. “See? This is what I am saying, you are already defending her, innocent until proven guilty doesn’t work for her my king, she is the one you handed the diamonds to, whatever happened to it is her fault, you are not even concerned about finding it when you know just how important it is to the kingdom. I am sure you haven’t even asked her about it because all you want is to quote “Get so peaceful sleep” Patrick let out. Lance couldn’t respond because he was right, he hasn’t asked Sophie about it again and he was also right about the diamonds being important to the kingdom which is why he plans on getting a replacement before anyone finds out that it is missing. “I am going to get a replacement, it is not like it is one of a kind, I know it will cause me money but I don’t mind,”He said. He knew Patrick was about to go crazy on him again and the man didn’t disappoint. “You are out of
“You don’t get a break until you meet with your wife-to-be, the prime minister, the minister of health, and also the ruler of the neighboring kingdom so you can only get a break by maybe nine or ten today,”Patrick listed out his schedule for the day. Surprisingly, aside from his supposed wife-to-be, he wanted to meet with the others he mentioned. Which was so not like him, he always hated the meetings and only met with those people because he had to for things to be done. Maybe because he had a good night's rest and he wasn’t hungover for once, he couldn’t help the smile that formed. “What are you smiling about? Are you suddenly excited to meet your wife-to-be?”Patrick asked. Way to ruin his mood. “Don’t push it, Patrick, I can tell you that woman has nothing to do with my smile. In fact, the thought of her is enough for me not to smile for a whole week,”He replied as he walked away from Patrick to his bathroom. He didn’t want Roseline in his space so he had to be at the dining t
Sophie woke up with a banging headache. She knew the reason for her headache was due to the fact that she had been overthinking things but she just couldn’t help it. The king was giving her mixed signals. After the night they spent together, she went days alone without seeing or hearing from him. The only people she came in contact with were the maidens who came to give her food. No one else was allowed into the apartment and the maids were still not allowed to speak to her so she couldn’t ask them what was going on in the palace. The king kept his promise though and the maids brought a couple of books for her and also some knitting equipment. She already started reading the books but for knitting, she still has not found the will to start. Sophie still had no idea where she stood, the king never spoke to her about the missing diamond since that first night and also, he never sent anyone to question or anything, it was as if he completely forgot what happened and he was just keeping
Sophie froze and stayed unmoving for a good minute while the king continued to press his lips to hers, she couldn’t let him kiss him especially not when he was drunk again, the last time she let him touch her while he was drunk, he got her pregnant and currently have no memory of that happening, she pushed him away and watched as shock registered in his eyes, she wiped her lips with her hands and tried to get away from him but he pulled her back and once again slammed his lips on hers, she gasped in shock and he took that opportunity to invade her mouth and claim her tongue, she was hit with the taste of alcohol, she withdrew so fast when she remembered that she was pregnant and alcohol wasn’t good for the baby, yes it wasn’t direct consumption but she didn’t want to do anything that would harm her child, she put as much distance between him as she could. “Don’t fucking kiss me with that alcohol-filled mouth of yours,”She let out as she wiped her mouth clean, he started coughing, an
“What do you want now, your majesty?”She inquired, standing by the door, he looked restless. “Water, I need water, woman,”He let out. “If I get you water, will you finally let me get some sleep? I hate to break it to you, your majesty, but I am human too and I need to get some sleep,”She lamented but he seemed not to even be concerned about what she said as he continued to request for water, she so wanted to go back to her room and ignored his nonsense for the rest of the night but she knew she would not be able to get any sleep so it was better to go get that water and shut him up, she walked to the fridge and got a bottle of water and strolled back to the room he was in, he was up already and sat on the bed, she handed him the water and waited until he drank to his contentment before collecting the bottle back from him. “Can you sleep now so that I can get some sleep too? It is literally two am in the morning and I still haven’t slept thanks to your needs,”She lamented. He ig
“You kissed me, if that’s what you want to know but nothing else happened after that,”Sophie told him with her head still bowed. “I kissed you or you kissed me? Don’t lie to me Sophie, it will not end well for you,”He let out. Sophie lifted her head for a moment and met his eyes, the fact that he was the king and could get away with anything doesn’t mean he can gaslight her about what happened last night when she had been the sober one who had put a stop to his madness, something that would never have happened in the first place if he didn’t come to her. He didn’t even let her tell him what he did to her after the kiss, how he made her work throughout the night catering to his needs. “Why would I lie about something like that?”She asked, still not taking her eyes away from him, she wanted to but if she did, he would assume she was really making things up, he was already doing it and she needed him to drop that narrative before he runs with it and make her pay for something she di
Lance walked angrily into his chamber, half expecting to see Patrick waiting for him so that he can give instructions to send that crazy woman, Sophie away but when he needed Patrick to be around, the man wasn’t there. He tossed his phone on his bed and stamped around his bedroom in anger, the way she had the mind to talk back at him in such manners and even call him names when all he did was ask her what happened between them the night before. He woke up naked and alone with no memory of what happened the previous night, at first, he didn’t think anything about the fact that h was naked but then when he got out of the bed and noticed that he had come to Sophie, he had to rethink and still couldn’t remember a thing, his first thought had been that he slept with her and that would explain why he had been naked, he waited for her to come back to the room but she didn’t so he went out to look for her and found her in the other room which pissed him off, if they slept together then why di
