“Are you sure? Because that man just called off our wedding and I have reasons to believe you are why he did it,”The princess said. Sophie opened her mouth to talk, but no words came out, she was too dumbfounded, she had thought Patrick was just saying nonsense when he had talked about the king calling off his wedding but the princess was saying the same thing but what she couldn’t understand was why they both think she was the reason the king would do that. “What? You can’t say anything? Are you happy? I know you must have told him you don’t want to share him with another woman, that’s why he called it off, you guys must be strong for him to be throwing away a union that would benefit his kingdom for you,”the princess went on. “My princess, I don’t know about the king calling off his wedding, the king and I have no such relationship, I am more like a prisoner here, something happened that I don’t know if I can tell you about but one thing is sure, the king did not call off your w
“Roseline, Patrick is not my assistant just like Sophie isn’t my mistress, and I am not in love with her either, I can never fall in love with her and she is not the reason I called off the wedding,”The king explained. Sophie couldn’t help the feeling she got when the king spoke about them, about not loving her, she didn’t expect him to, heck she wasn’t in love with him either but she kind of felt hurt? That shouldn’t be, why would she be hurt by the king saying he doesn’t love her and would never do; it couldn’t describe what she felt but she didn’t like it, she didn’t like anything that was going on in the room and the way they were talking among themselves without even considering that she was still standing with them. “You say that? You can’t fool me, Lancelot, you are lying, tell me you have never kissed her, tell me you have never touched her, lie to my face that you guys have nothing going on and at no point during your decision to call off the wedding; you did not think abou
“I am sorry, I should never have come here, I am sorry about the things I said; I am sorry we talked about you and made you sad, I will leave now, I hope your life gets better and that mad king does what is right by you, bye,”The princess said. Sophie didn’t expect the words she said and before she could respond, she already turned her back on her on her way out, she dragged Patrick with her and then it was just her and the king who didn’t make any attempt to leave. “Are you not going to go after her? She will get the wrong idea even more, just go tell her we have nothing going on and fix your relationship, I don’t want to be tied to something I know nothing about,”Sophie let out without looking at the king. He didn’t move or say anything so she finally lifted her eyes to him; he was watching her wordlessly. She averted her gaze and took a couple of steps away from him even though they weren’t even close in the first place. “Roseline and I have no relationship to fix, I was going
Sophie knew she had to stop him, he had her backed against a wall and was kissing her hard, even though her brain wanted her to push him away, her heart and her body wanted a different thing; she couldn’t stop him because she wanted him, wanted his kiss. She wanted it enough to turn her back on all that could happen if they ended up in bed together again, she was already in trouble whether she kissed him or not; that was what she told herself as she leaned further into the kiss and gave into it with a greedy fervor, her mouth opening hungrily beneath his. Sophie felt light-headed with the way the king was kissing her and barely giving her time to breathe, she was on her tippy-toes trying to match his energy. He must have noticed her struggling because he lifted her into his arms and sat on the couch with her in his arms without breaking their kiss. She held onto him, finally feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the kiss even more; she could hear the small moan of pleasure he made as th
Since he became king five years ago and after all the meetings he has attended, this was the first time Lance genuinely wanted the meeting to end, he had not anticipated a call from the US president and he couldn’t just say no when he had been the one to ask to speak to him. He didn’t expect the response to his request to come so early, but here he was listening to an older man who was speaking too fast for Lance to keep up with while his mind was somewhere else, at least, the call is being recorded and he would go over them again because he wasn’t listening half of the time, his mind was still at the emerald house where he had left Sophie, if the damn call didn’t come in, they would have been naked and tangled up in bed by now. He couldn’t believe how fast things changed between them, all he had wanted to do was kiss her, just kiss her to check if he was really attracted to her and the moment he kissed her, had a taste of her lips, he became addicted really fast. It was as if he got
“Aha, thank God, I thought she would still be crying, I felt so bad, I should never have gone to confront her,”She lamented. The last part of what she said was mostly said in a whisper as if she was talking to herself. With how Roseline acted with him, he never expected her to be so soft with Sophie, or maybe because she is a woman just like her. “You are very concerned about her, and yes, you shouldn’t have gone to confront her, she has nothing to do with why our marriage isn’t happening,”He told her and heard her scoff. “Don’t say that to me again, I already accepted my fate, I can’t fight her when you two look so good together, I could feel the spark between you two, the way you were looking at her, I just knew, anyway, I accept defeat even though I didn’t fight,” “What are you even saying? Sophie and I don’t have anything going on, at least not yet,”He added the last part because he knew now that something would happen with them and if he let himself, he would be keeping her
Sophie felt stupid just sitting and waiting for the king to show up like he had said he would, it was way past nine pm already and she knew she should stop checking the time and just go to sleep but her stupid self couldn’t bring herself to get out of the chair and to her room. It wasn’t totally her fault, it was his fault for putting ideas in her head, ever since he left her, she hadn’t been able to function properly, it was beyond what she could contain and she shamelessly wanted to feel him inside her again even though she knew that would mean making all what the princess had said about her real. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormone that made her sexual drive higher or maybe she just wanted to have the king again. Her mind went to the princess, she still couldn’t believe she apologized to her and also that the king called off their wedding, she was so sure that it was because of her. Sophie knew it wasn’t because of her. The fact that the king kissed her and wants to have sex with h
“Let’s go,”She said to them and they led the way, she got into the car which was parked outside of the emerald house and they drove to the hospital. It took a while for it to get to her turn as there were a lot of other pregnant women who came for ante-natal, she waited patiently until they called her name and she walked in to see the doctor. “Your baby is doing fine and compared to before, you are healthier which is good for the baby and you, I hope you keep it up,”The doctor told her after examining her. Sophie smiled at him. He sent her to the scan room to get a scan done. Sophie teared up when she heard the heartbeat of her baby, she wasn’t born yet but she was already a fighter. The sonographer told her the baby was healthy and developing well in her womb which was good news for her. After she finished in the scan room, she also went to the laboratory to do some tests, all of which took a lot of time. She ate while she waited for the results. The doctor called her into his off
