D - DAY

By evening, invited guests packed in pairs of less than two or more slowly ascended this rooftop of Knightley.& Gallery, the designated venue for the party.

The guests were greeted by polite and smiling ushers, as well as an enchanting atmosphere that buzzed with excitement and celebration.

As the party proceeded, Chloe, in her ivory, long, floor-length dress with a sweeping hemline, looked around nervously, her mind filled with a mixture of joy, anticipation, fear, and the mingling aromas of delicately prepared cuisine that made her stomach grumble from time to time.

Though Dawson had already held a press conference earlier that morning, addressing the chaos at his house a few days ago, he made sure he supported Chloe in every way he could to make the party perfect, thereby bringing a good name to the family.

As usual, Jamie was the host of the party, welcoming the guests, guiding them to the gift table, and handing them a small pamphlet, containing the program of the cer

    There was an intense moment of silence as Chloe placed her hand on his shoulder and raised her head to keep steady eye contact as she replied. "You, Blake!" Blake felt his heart stop beating the moment his name came out of Chloe's but she wasn't done surprising him as he went on to say, "I'm in love with you, Blake. I don't think I can keep it to myself any longer." She confessed. In Chloe's confession, a mixture of anticipation and nervousness filled the air. Her heart pounded, and her voice quivered as she bore her soul, revealing the depths of her affection for Blake. Vulnerability washes over her, but she perseveres, fueled by the courage to lay her feelings bare."I know you're engaged to Ruby and I really tried not to fall for you but… You only make me love you more, Blake." She went on. Blake, caught off guard yet elated, was stunned by the surge of emotions that dwelled within him. Years of silent admiration and longing culminated in this transformative moment. "I mig

    Chloe's eyes widened in shock as he pushed her hard to the car bonnet where Juan was still struggling with his own pain. "With that innocent face, you fooled us! You fooled me!" Dawson bellowed furiously as he squeezed her neck harder. Her mind wandered around, wondering just how much Dawson knew about her but the shortage of oxygen to her lungs made her fight back, trying to pull Dawson's hand away but the more she tried, the more Dawson's grip tightened. As soon as Juan regained some strength, he came to Chloe's aid by attempting to punch Dawson but his ever-ready bodyguard took the blow on his behalf before sending another punch to his face. "F*ck!" He grunted in pain. "Leave her alone, you piece of shit!" He yelled with all the strength he had left. Chloe was beginning to choke and strength was slowly leaving her body. "Sir, calm down, Please." Brandon, his guard whispered into his ear. Dawson didn't stop squeezing her neck as he said, "How long do you think you have with h

    "What do you mean by that, Ruby?" Dawson asked as he entered the bar fully. Ruby sighed, looking at his flustered mom and confused Dad. "Ask your wife." She rolled her eyes as she attempted to walk away, but Dawson grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Don't you dare walk out on me when I'm talking to you!" He warned. "What is there to reply? Now that I see it, George is truly your son. After all, he is the only one that takes after you in your disgusting and shameful acts." She lashed out angrily. Dawson was so provoked by Ruby's statement that he slapped her hard on the cheek, causing a slight cut on her lower lip.Instead of crying like she usually does, she let out a loud chuckle that shocked even George, who was partially losing his consciousness to alcohol. "What? I am right after all. Tonight's event is no different from what happened 24 years ago. Just the way you cheated on your wife with someone she called a friend—someone she introduced to you! You went lower to keep yo

    Chloe thought for a while before she replied, "Nah! If he was going to snitch, he would have already done that before the party even started. In fact, he looked so thrilled with the reveal I doubt he'd snitch on that.""I hate to admit it myself but just like my Dad said, I doubt he is the enemy here." Chloe defended him. Blake's face turned noticeably sad at the mention of her father as he thought of the condition he was in. "Is something wrong?" Chloe asked, concerned by the sadness plastered on his face. Blake was jolted out of his thoughts but he quickly let out a weak chuckle, saying, "Of course not!" "Maybe that was what he wanted you to believe." Zane chimed in. Chloe became curious as she asked, "What do you mean by that?" "Now that Dawson knows about you, all his hatred, attention, and scheming would be turned on you which would make Sebastian Marlowe less of a suspect and more of a ticking time bomb. He would have the opportunity to attack Dawson; that is if he truly

    Chloe scanned the room with her eyes but that didn't provide any answer but a few seconds after staring at Ruby, a perfect answer finally came. "Ruby, by now you should know Blake is a softy. He must feel really bad for hurting you and must have been trying to confirm your safety from me." Chloe lied effortlessly. Ruby was quick to believe her as she handed over the phone to her, "You should answer it." She suggested. "No, I will speak with him later. I need to know how you're feeling first." She suggested as she quickly ended the call and placed her phone on airplane mode. "By the way, who owns the suitcase?" She asked curiously. Ruby moved closer and took Chloe's hands in her as she said, "Chloe, I know you're going through a tough time because of what happened last night and I really want to be by your side right now Chloe." "Honestly, I used this breakup as an excuse to be here but…I really don't want to be in that house anymore…especially now that you're not in it. So ple

    “Yes, Chloe. She is the only Victoria Kensington in Castile, so yeah, it’s my Aunt. My father’s younger sister.” Blake explained in detail, leaving Chloe no room for any further questions about her identity. “Woah! How did you manage…wrong question.” She paused, trying to stop herself from freaking out. “But she’s not in Castile for now. How is she going to take my case?” She wondered. “That’s why I said I was only going to tell you when she is available. She will be landing sometime this week.” Blake explained. Chloe thought for a while before pointing out her concern: “Just in case Dawson still has no idea who is helping me out, wouldn’t that be selling yourself out?” “I thought so too. That’s why your first meeting with Aunt is going to be a little dramatic.” He smirked, leaving Chloe curious. “How so?” She asked curiously as the car came to a slow halt. “We are here.” Zane announced, and their minds quickly shifted from their conversation back to the worry for Ruby.

    “Yeah! Who else did you think was us giving all the juicy details about the company?” Dawson asked. “Too bad even she got fooled by her.” He mumbled, shaking his head as he relaxed in his chair.“Chloe isn’t that smart. She couldn’t have pulled this off alone. She trusted Aunt so much she couldn’t have hidden it from her if no one told her to.” Jamie pointed out, pacing about the place angrily.“You are right on that. Pulling that crap at my party just to get her Father out of that shithole is not something she can handle all by herself.” He said.“She was behind that?” Jamie asked, still in disbelief.Dawson stood up and walked up to Chloe where she was standing, “This family has given you so much, yet you failed us so badly. The only way to win back my favor is to find out who the f*ck she’s working with. Understood?” He asked.Jamie remained quiet for a while, gathering her thoughts before she replied, “I will do that only after you forgive George and end his punishment.”“What? You

    “Dad’s old workspace.” Damien announced it proudly. “Wait, could it possibly be that place you always talk about finding?” Bryce asked curiously. Damien grinned from ear to ear as he replied, “Yeah. I remember that place clearly, even though I was clearly very young at the time. It’s just as I remembered. Wooden, secluded, and cozy.” “Have you already seen it?” Bryce asked again. “Yeah. But I haven’t gone inside it.” Damien replied. “Do you wanna go with me?” He asked thoughtfully. “Sure! Definitely!” Bryce exclaimed in excitement. “But…how did you find it?” He asked. Damien folded his hands and he began to pace the room as he explained, “You know, it wasn’t easy at all. But I always knew my mom had something to hide about this city but I recently found the picture at the back of an old picture of my parents. I decided to find the location and voila...there it was looking old and well hidden from the public eyes.” “I wonder why it wasn’t figured out for so many years.” Bryce sa

    It was a day of festivity in the Kensington Palace as it marks exactly one month since Chloe returned to the palace with her twins, as well as the date the family had set for their official white wedding. On Chloe’s part, it was easier to forgive Blake’s parents as they weren’t exactly hostile to her. All she ever wanted was to become Blake’s accepted wife, and now she finally got the opportunity. At first, she was worried they had accepted her because of the baby, but after finding out how long Braxton had been trying to abolish the law, she realized they did love her for her. Chloe was a sight to behold. Dressed in a stunning white gown adorned with intricate lace and sequins, no one could tell she just gave to the two genders of life. “Woah! You look magnificent!” Victoria complimented as she walked into the dressing room where Chloe was. “I know, right? The dress fits so perfectly that no one would guess she just put to bed.” Ruby chimed in as she adjusted her ethere

    Hot tears trickled down Blake’s eyes as he stared at his parents. “Blake, we’re sorry…” Diana apologized, also tearing up. “You know, I wasn’t the one you offended.” Blake pointed out. “We will apologize to her when she’s back.” She said, “Just please bring back my daughter-in-law.” She begged.Bryce scoffed in disbelief, “She is your daughter-in-law now?” Blake faked a smile as Bryce had asked the question he meant to ask. “Abolishing a law is not as easy as you think. It requires a lot of debate within the parliament, votes, and mutual understanding. It took me five months to finally achieve this. You won’t understand until you are in my position.” Braxton said. “Do you want me to be grateful?” Blake wondered, not sure why he was telling him this. “No.” Braxton replied, “I just need you to know that Chloe can be your queen and your equal now. I wonder why they even made that law and why I had to fight so hard to support it.” He added before turning away and walking towards hi

    As Blake had promised, he sent Zane to Wexissia as soon as he resumed office as the crown prince just a few days after his return. But Zane’s journey was fruitless. He searched around the house and realized she wasn’t home. At first, he thought she had stepped out since all her belongings were still intact, but after days of waiting and asking around, he realized she never returned home after seeing Blake off. Back at home, Isabella tried to get an audience with Blake, which became unnecessarily hard since his return. Fortunately, Blake also had a reason to meet Isabella since Chloe sent him to her. After settling things with his family, he found time to go to her school and meet with her. Isabella became anxious after finding out that Blake returned a few days earlier without Chloe, and so as she stepped into his car, he began to inquire about her. “Where is my sister? How could you leave her alone there?” Isabella asked curiously. Blake explained how she’d threaten to kill he

    Blake chuckled, not willing to believe her, “Chloe, you must be exhausted. Go to bed now.” He suggested and attempted to lay back down, but Chloe had to show him how serious she was. She quickly grabbed a scissors which she’d placed on the drawer beside her and started to cut herself. Blake was triggered, quickly pulling the scissors from her grasp. “Chloe, are you crazy? What has gotten into you?” He asked angrily as he covered her injured hand with his palm and reached out for the first aid kit, which was in the drawer beside the bed. “Maybe if I am dead, you won’t hesitate to go back home.” She said, “Chloe, you can’t be serious about that…why all of a sudden?” He asked, applying first aid while still quite stunned by her decision. “It isn’t all of a sudden, Blake, I have made my decision, and if you don’t leave by tomorrow, I will kill myself.” She threatened, and without waiting to know if Blake was done with his first aid, she pulled her hand away and covered hersel

    Holding a small pregnancy stick, Chloe stared at herself in the mirror, the sun reflecting through their three bedroom apartment window. Even though she was already five months gone, her stomach was still as flat as ever. She remembered the first time she found out she had a cryptic pregnancy when she first passed out at the hospital after Blake recovered from his gunshot wound. At first she wanted to inform the family during the big feast but after hearing their decision, she decided to keep it a secret even from Blake because she didn’t want to seem like she was forcing herself on him. Even though she knew Blake wouldn't think that way, she was worried his family could misinterpret it and even end up forcefully accepting her because of the baby. Two months after living as a married couple in Wexissia, she still couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth until today, which she’d chosen to tell him. Blake wasn’t home at that time because instead of just retiring, he decided t

    It took another week for the matter to die down, and the royal family decided to invite everyone that are now considered as family to a huge feast that they had organized. Shortly after the desert, the king and his wife summoned Chloe and Blake to his office along with Victoria and Zane, leaving the kids and Laila out. “I am sure you understand the royal family has been in turmoil for a while now, and adding a contradictory marriage to it will only make the people question the power of the royal family.” Braxton explained, and Blake already started to frown. “What he is trying to say is that we will support your marriage, but only on one condition…” Diana said. Chloe felt a glimmer of hope, seeing that his family were finally going to support them, but Blake knew his parents well and didn’t have any hope whatsoever. “What condition?” He quickly asked, “That you will take her only as a concubine. She can’t be your equal, and you will have to take a wife first before yo

    “How could you let her do that? You should have forced her or something!” Blake complained upon hearing the tales of her action since he lost consciousness. He gently caressed her hand as she rested on his bed while he sat on the chair where she was seated earlier. “My brother did everything he could as a king, but she refused to listen and exercised every right she had as a citizen. Don’t even go there.” Victoria explained. “We were all scared to death when she kept throwing up and feeling sick without even eating anything. I don’t think there is anything we haven’t done to make her listen, but it was just as if we were talking to a rock.” She explained further.They were still discussing when Zane and the King who had just heard the news of Blake regaining his consciousness arrived, but to their dismay, the patient was now taking care of the guest. “This girl? She just always has to be so annoying.” Zane complained.Blake gave him a bombastic side-eye, asking, “Did you even apolo

    The palace was in a haze, and the violence Blake tried so hard to prevent eventually happened. Blake suffered three blank shots to his chest while Dawson suffered over seven gunshots. They were both rushed to the hospital. After hours of being in the theaters, the doctors operating on Dawson eventually stepped out. Unfortunately, none of his family were by the door waiting for him. Only the prosecutors were.The doctors didn’t hesitate to respond since they understood what circumstances he was brought there. “He is currently braindead, and his organs are failing rapidly. With life support, it would be a miracle he makes it past two days, but that miracle won’t happen the following day.” Despite his critical condition, once he was moved to the wards, he was handcuffed to his bed because of the magnitude of his crime. Meanwhile, Blake’s surgery took a few more hours. His surgery was quite critical because he was shot very close to the heart, and the best surgeons around the globe f

    Blake's smile slowly turned into a psychotic laughter that scared the crap out of Dawson for a while. He looked at the plotters and asked, “Don’t you also find this funny?” He said, pointing at the guards who had dragged his family to the dining room.“Once they fall into a deep sleep, those weapons become useless…” His voice trailed off as three guards slowly dropped to the floor one after the other, their weapons crashing beneath them. Real fear surfaced in the plotters face, and Vivian almost peed her pants. “Mr. Aspiring King, why don’t you go back to your seat? We have a whole lot to talk about today.” Blake suggested.Dawson was hesitant as he wasn’t sure whether or not his plans were going accordingly but one thing he knew was Blake had the upper hand for now and he needs to obey him until he thinks of another move. He sluggishly went back and sat among his people, beads of precipitation forming on his forehead. The ministers let out a sudden gasp, confusing Dawson, who was
