“Oh my God? He sent her out of the kingdom? Patrick, you sent the king’s woman out of his kingdom?”Lance silently listened when Roseline directed the question at Patrick, he wanted to hear his answer but the fucker didn’t say a word which got Lance angrier. “He is out of his mind right now and is just here staring at me weirdly, he is broken, my king,”Lance said. she was really concerned for Patrick, Lance would have been concerned too but after what he did, he couldn’t bring himself to care about his feelings, if Patrick cared about him, he would never have sent his woman away. “I am more broken, Roseline, Sophie is pregnant, she is all alone and I don’t even know how to get her back, Patrick is my best friend, he should not be the one to break my family, he knew just how much that woman meant to me yet he sent her away, I just can’t stand him, I fired him and I don’t think I want him back anywhere near me,”Lance concluded. He did need Patrick around him but he didn’t know if he
“I messed up, I did, I am sorry, I should never have interfered, I thought I was doing what’s best for everyone but I know now that I wasn’t, I made a mistake, and I can fix it, just give me a chance to,”Patrick pleaded. “How do you intend to fix it? I have been looking for her for days now, it’s as if she disappeared as soon as she landed.”Lance lamented bitterly. “I gave her a card before she left and also gave her my number in case she needs anything from me, I don’t know if she will call because she said she won’t need anything from me but the card can be traced if she has made any purchase, I just need to be in the country to do that but I couldn’t leave the country without your permission and you refused to speak with me,”Patrick said. “Why do you need my permission to leave the country when you didn’t wait for my permission before you sent my woman away?”Lance questioned. He passed his fingers through his hair in frustration, and Patrick remained silent. “You have my pe
“I still can’t believe the baby is real yours, I was right back then,”“Yes, you were right, we did sleep together a couple of months before the theft incident, I remembered but I thought it was a dream and Sophie thought I didn’t remember so she was scared to tell me,”Lance explained. “And I sent them both away, I don’t deserve to be forgiven,’ “Yes, you don’t but I love you, so you get some mercy,”Lance responded, they continued talking all through the drive back to the palace, and even made plans to leave for Briscout as soon as he was done with the meeting with Justin and was able to put people in charge while he was away, he had a lot of people who would make sure everything continued running smoothly during his absence. When they got back to the palace, Lance told him to go rest and get ready while he dressed up to go meet his brother, he wanted their meeting to be just the two of them. Once again, he drove himself to where he was meeting Justin, he didn’t want to meet him
Sophie's eyes widened in fear when she heard the knock on her door, she was in a new hotel now, far from the other one she had been in when she had met Damon. it has been three days since he came to see her and she hasn’t had any rest since. She wanted to leave Briscout again but she didn’t know where to go, she couldn’t even go back to looking for an apartment because she was scared Demon might find her again. She finally checked the money in the card that Patrick had given to her, it was enough to carry for three months or six if she managed which she intended to do but the money wasn’t enough to pay Damon off neither was it enough to help her relocate to another country, far from where Damon was. She should never have come back to Briscout, she had made a mistake coming back here but she didn’t know where else to choose. Moving to a whole new country would have been much more expensive. The knock on the door came again and this time, she got out of bed, hoping that it was just room
“Let’s go,”He said. Sophie lost the will to even fight him, she walked out of the hotel room with him, not knowing what she would do yet but she made up her mind to speak to Damon, that’s if he would listen. “Just continue to be like this and you will not have a problem with me but if you decide to act out, I might not be very kind,”Gavin warned when they walked out of the hotel lobby, he led her towards the car and Sophie spotted a couple of men she knew worked for Damon too, it didn’t even cross her mind to try and run because she knew it would be useless to try. Gavin dropped her off and went away, he left her in a room and told her that Damon would be in to see him, Sophie was scared but powerless, she only hoped to speak with Damon and come to an agreement with him, if he agreed, she would give him all the money with her and also agree to work and pay him back. she waited for Damon to show up but hours after she arrived, she didn’t see or hear from him. Someone came in and ga
After four days of looking for Sophie without any possible lead, Lance had to return to Otano temporarily because he had something important that he had to attend to. The people Roseline had spoken to were doing their best to find her, even though they were able to trace the card that Patrick had given her, they still couldn’t find her because she had left the place before they got there. Lance spoke with Patrick about it and they decided that it would be better to get the authorities of the country involved. It would be easier that way. Lance had wanted to do it on his own but as the days went by, he realized it would be impossible to find out, that’s why he scheduled a meeting with the president of the country, as soon as he arrived back, he would meet up with him. He already had plans to strike a deal with them in exchange for helping him find Sophie. He had left Patrick behind and he was able to schedule the meeting, they have talked throughout when he has been in Otano and so fa
Sophie lost all hope of ever being free from Damon, he refused to listen to all her pleas and talks, and he was hell bent on keeping her here with him. He refused every reasonable word she had said to him. He kept talking about wanting her and waiting long enough for the baby to be born because he didn’t want to fuck her while she was carrying another man’s child, it was bittersweet for her because it only means she would be free from him for the next four months but she was scared of what might happen within that time, she didn’t want to remain his prisoner forever, she didn’t want to be his toy, neither did she want her child to be taken away from her. Now she regrets agreeing with Patrick. She wished she had had the courage to stand up against him and talk to Lance herself, maybe it would not have been as bad as it was now. Maybe Lance would have found a way to keep their family together as he had promised her. She regretted not trusting his words enough and not believing in their l
“Aha,”She cried when she felt pain in her stomach, she cradled her baby bump, praying that her poor child was okay and unhurt. She couldn’t just keep standing there, she needed to leave; she reached for the door but noticed he was rising again, she picked up the wooden lamp stand near her, walked back to him, and hit him with it again a couple of time more, she stopped when he stopped moving, turned around and ran out of the room. Sophie ran out of the room, hoping that she would find a way out of the place, she needed to be out of the house before Damon walked up or his men found out what she had done to him. She looked around and there was no one in the hallway, she ran for the front door but had to stop and hide when she saw a man with a gun. She hid behind a shelf and waited until he was out of sight before she ran away from there. It was dark outside but the darkness served as some form of protection for her. She walked as fast as her legs could carry her towards the gate, she
Their little princess was born a little over a month later. A healthy seven-pound baby that came into the world in all of her glory, ready to be the great queen that was her destiny. As Sophie held her baby in her arms for the first time. She couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips and the happy tears that fell from her eyes when they met with Lance who had tears in his eyes too. The memory would stay with her for a long time. After the birth, she slept for about three hours and when she awoke, her little princess was in the room with her. Sophie got out of her bed and walked to the baby crib. She picked up her little one and exhaled. Her baby was beautiful and so perfect. “Thank you,”She muttered to the pretty child for she was the reason Sophie’s luck changed forever. Both she and Lance already picked a name for her. Aurora. Which means dawn just like how her conception created a new dawn for Sophie. Sophie had a lot to be thankful for and made sure to not forget. “My fam
The woman who was no longer isolated has become one of the important people to Sophie who saw her as a mother figure and the older woman treated her like a daughter, giving her tips and advice on how to navigate her status as the queen and also how to be a good mom. Sophie had so many good people around her which made everything easy for her and she was thankful to every one of them. Sophie let out a nervous sigh when she arrived at the cathedral. It was finally happening. She was marrying Lance. They announced her entrance and Sophie started walking towards the aisle where her Lancelot stood waiting for her with the most genuine expression. His eyes were filled with love and pride. She could see. Her heart felt full. Sophie felt her eyes water as she got to him. He had a bright smile ready for her and he looked so handsome in his royal regalia. So handsome and so hers. After today, she would finally be able to call him her husband. She still couldn’t believe it was really happening
The next month pretty much went faster than Sophie could have imagined. There was so much to prepare for their wedding and everyone was busy. She didn’t have to worry about any of the preparations but she did do a lot of public appearances, some with Lance, others alone. Even though she had a lot going on with her and a lot of things to learn. She still felt so happy. The people of Otano not only accepted her as their queen but they also made sure she knew that she was loved by them. All the backslash that she had feared for didn’t come. Of course, she knew not everyone would support her but a great number did and that made her so happy. Nothing good comes easy so it was no surprise that she had a pretty hard time getting used to her new status. Lance did his best to make everything very easy for her. He was a darling man and she felt so lucky to have him in her life. He listened to her and was always considerate of her wants and needs. Sophie stared at herself in the mirror as the s
Everyone in the room listened to her. Lance saw the look of admiration and respect that the elders had regarded her with after she finished talking to them and his heart had swelled with love and pride. Not only was his queen bold and beautiful. She was also brilliant and well-spoken. Lance was sure now that she had successfully won the elders over and that they wholeheartedly supported her being queen. “I knew you would get along. She is a great woman. She isn’t much of a proper princess but she definitely knows a lot about royalty, when she asked me, I didn’t think twice before saying yes. I already know you both will do great things together. I know you already have plans for the women of Otano,”He said. he liked how the majority of what she had said to the elders was about giving the women more representation. Lance has done his best since he became king to let the women of Otano shine just as much as their male counterparts but there is only so much a man can do. With Sophie an
“Why am I stuck here with you when I could be with my woman in bed already, it is way past nine pm,”Lance complained, throwing the files he had on the table, they were still in his office even though it was so late already. As it was approaching the end of the year, he had a lot of things to go through which was driving him crazy. He couldn’t postpone anything like he had done last year because he knew when the new year runs in, he would be married and also with a newborn. He wanted to spend enough time with his family without worrying about the load of work waiting for him. “You are not the only one stuck here, I would rather listen to my woman go off about her adventures than be here with you but we don’t always get what we want,”Patrick replied. Lance still couldn’t believe they were together, yeah, they looked good together and he might have had an idea that they would end up together but he didn’t think it would happen so soon. Partly because they hated each other before and m
The best part of everything was that they listened to her with interest, which made it easy for her to speak with more confidence, she didn’t even think about looking Lance’s way as the conversations went on and when she finally looked at him, he had a proud smile on his face. Sophie had seen Lance smile a lot over the past months that they had been together but this smile carried so much more power, she wanted to do more to see him smile like that. After Sophie was done talking, everyone applauded her, even Patrick was clapping when she looked his way. not just clapping, he was smiling too. After they had that talk where he apologized, they have been cool with each other and now even talk to each other even when Lance isn’t present. Getting to know Patrick, Sophie realized he was a good man, just too strict sometimes. She enjoys it when he tells Lance off or nags him because of something he wants him to do. It was always fun to watch them go off. “You did well today, I am so proud
Sophie opened her eyes and smiled brightly when she felt the weight of her favorite person on her, even though she was so big with their daughter now, he still managed to fit his arms around her, with his hand settling protectively over her baby bump. She felt safe and loved even though she was slightly uncomfortable because she had been sleeping on that side for too long. She struggled to turn to the other side so that she could face the man of her dreams. As she turned, she felt a slight weight on her finger that wasn’t there before, her mouth flew open when she saw it. “Oh my God,”Sophie whispered, staring at the beautiful ring on her finger. The dim light in the room didn’t do anything to stop it from looking so pretty. “When did he do it?”Sophie asked herself as she finally turned to face her sleeping sweetheart. The crazy man had a way of making her fall in love with him even more than she already had. She fell asleep immediately after they finished making love. He must have
Having Sophie back in his arms and his life where she belonged gave Lancelot so much peace but he knew that peace would not be complete until he did the needful which was to make her his queen; she was already his queen but he wanted to make it official, introduce her to his people who will become her people too. He wanted them to be married before the princess's due date so he set to work. He sent a message to all the elders, requesting for them to meet up with him. He already had the discussion with them before but he wanted them to officially meet his wife and also be aware of the royal wedding that was about to take place. Of course, he gave his woman time to heal from what she had experienced which was why he scheduled the meet up for three weeks after they returned. He told her about it a week ago and she had been skeptical about meeting them but he reminded her that it was inevitable, the queen had to meet her people. He was able to talk her into agreeing. The meeting was fina
“From everything that we checked, the baby is okay even though she was a little in distress earlier, we will prescribe a new medication and advise you to rest as much as possible and also report to the hospital if you feel any kind of discomfort,”The doctor informed both of them. Sophie was glad to know the baby was okay, she had been so scared after the sharp pain she felt when she had been trying to run away from Damon, thankfully, no harms were done to her or the baby and now she was back safe to her home; yes, Otano was her home now, the only place she ever want to call home, the only thing that would take her back to Briscout now is when she goes to pay visit to her family’s graves.“Thank you so much doc,”Lance said to the doctor, his words brought Sophie out of her thoughts, she realized she didn’t hear the last part of what the doctor had said but she didn’t worry because she knew Lance heard and he would remind her if it was very important, she turned her eyes to him. “We
