“Wait, what?”He let out. He came at the right time because he hated to think that she would have been alone if Patrick had not told him to go talk to her.“The baby, I lost my baby,”She broke down, he looked at her in shock, why would she think that? “Darling, Sophie? Stop crying please and tell me what is going on, why would you think you lost your baby?”Lance asked in fear, that was not what he expected her to say, it was worst. Now he wished she was crying because of their fight because that would be easy to fix, not the baby, she couldn’t lose the baby, it would break her and he didn’t want that. It has to be some kind of mistake or she was just overthinking. “Hey, baby, calm down and talk to me; why do you think you lost the baby,”He asked, looking around her for anything that would have given her that thought, surely there had to be something that triggered it. He didn’t find anything that would indicate that she did. She refused to answer his questions. He didn’t even kno
The ride to the hospital was a very hard one, Sophie refused to stop crying so he gave up trying to make her stop and instead just patted her back continuously. Patrick couldn’t come with them because he had to attend meetings on his behalf. “My king, we are almost there, we will be the ones to take her in,”One of the guards said from the front of the car and Lance glared at him. Why would he let them take her when he was in the car with her? “Says who?”He asked in an irritated voice. “Sorry my king, that’s what your lord Patrick said,”He told him. He should have known that the crazy man would give some unneeded advice when he didn’t try to stop him from getting in the car with her. “There will be no need for that, if I can’t take her in why would I be here? We are entering through the private entrance are we not?”He asked. If they were talking because of the press finding out then they should know that he didn’t care. “Yes, my king, I am sorry,”The guard said and Lance igno
Sophie lowered her gaze as she walked with Lance towards his chamber, she had asked him to let her go to the emerald house when they arrived back at the palace but he refused and told her that she had to deal with him for the next couple of days as he had no plans of leaving her on her own there. He was holding her so close with so many people around and he didn’t even look like he cared, he paused when they got close to his door and collected the bag that contained the drugs and vitamins that she was given at the hospital from the guard that held it and dismissed them. He led her into the room and closed the door behind them. “Are we going to be on the news? Those photos that were taken today, will be published?”Sophie asked. When they were alone in the room. She knew it was her fault that they got exposed to the public and now she was scared that it might lead to a ruckus in the kingdom and expose him to many talks that he might not be ready to handle. “Don’t worry yourself about
Lance already knew he was going to get an earful from Patrick before he even opened the door to his office. He touched his ears with both hands like a kid ready to face his dad after doing something wrong, the crazy man can be scary sometimes. Once he opened the door, the first thing that greeted him was a dead glare. “Look who finally showed up,”Patrick said as he got up and clapped. “Why are you acting like I did something wrong?”He asked and went to take his seat, he was so tired. He imagined and more tried Sophie would be, she was the one who went through all the emotional stress. “You didn’t do anything wrong?”“No, I didn’t, I took my woman to the hospital as she was doing fine. How is that doing something wrong,”He asked. “Right, I wish that was all you did, I gave a simple and clear instruction and you just had to do what you wanted at the moment without thinking, I am sure if you listened to me, your woman would still have gotten the medical aid that she needed. I made
“I can actually walk on my own and I am not in pain,”She said in protest. “Whatever,”He responded and walked to the bed with her in his arms. He dropped her on the bed and got in next to her. She got out of bed immediately after he got in. “I got to shower,”She told him and walked towards his restroom, at least she didn’t try to go back to the emerald house. “Can I join you?”He called after her. “No,”She replied firmly. He smiled and let her do her thing. He freshened up too after she was done and before long, they were back together in bed. “So? What happened? Are we going to be on the news?”She asked as they laid on the bed. “Not really, Patrick will fix everything, don’t worry about it,”He said. he was sure Patrick would make sure none of the photos taken earlier would be published. The press would only be getting a statement and that’s it. Even if someone ends up uploading photos, they will be taken down before they go viral, he had people for those kinds of things so
Sophie stood in front of the huge mirror in the king’s chamber looking hell of pregnant, it had been two months since she almost lost her baby, or thought she did, now she looked a lot bigger at five months pregnant with a very visible baby bump. It had been two months of utter bliss with Lance, the man had been nothing but sweet and amazing to her, and every new day, Sophie fell for him a little deeper. Their relationship has grown in the last two months and Sophie could finally see and refer to him as her boyfriend because he left no room for doubt. Unexpectedly, there wasn’t any uproar about them dating or at least none has been brought to her attention, these days, she spends more time in the king’s chamber than the emerald house, she barely spent time there and almost all of her personal stuff has been moved to the king’s room by the king himself. Crazy man but she loved him a little more each day. He made it so easy for her to love him. He took care of her like no one has ever
Lance broke the kiss to stare at her lovingly, he had been stalling for over two months and she finally beat him to it, not like he didn’t have the courage to tell her, he just didn’t want to scare her away with a love declaration so early into their relationship. He loved the fact that she didn’t have to worry about that and was able to tell him how she felt. It was so easy to fall in love with her and it was something that he couldn’t stop himself from doing because he didn’t let him, she pushed her way into his life, his bed, and then his heart, each and every step of the way, she found him. “Why are you smiling and not saying anything?”Sophie asked and he realized that he had been looking at her for so long without saying anything. “I am just in awe, I actually didn’t expect you to be the first to say those words, I didn’t think you would ever be so comfortable with me since you keep telling me not to cross the line,”he reminded her and she gave him a look. “Well, you made it
“Believe me when I tell you that our time together is not a borrowed time, you love me, I love you, and I am going to make it work,” He continued as he stood in front of her. Now there was not much space between them. “There is no line to cross, Sophie, the line faded that day in the emerald house when I kissed you, whatever it was that was the barricade faded that day, when we kissed, I knew, even though I tried to tell myself that it was just sex, tried to lie that I wasn’t feeling anything, it didn’t work. Patrick, Roseline? they both saw through me; the first time I slept in the dungeon with you? Patrick gave me an earful, and asked me if I was in love with you and all. I told him he had nothing to worry about but Patrick was right to have been worried because even though I didn’t know it then, I already felt something for you,”Lance confessed and paused to just look at her and admire the beauty of the woman who stole his heart. “Why would I, a king, go as far as sleeping in t
