Chloe's phone slipped from her hand upon hearing the news.

The screen broke, but the call was still connected.

"Chloe! Chloe! Chloe! Are you there?" He asked worriedly, but his voice was only in a blur to Chloe's ear.

Chloe lost the strength in her legs and fell to the floor just beside her phone, and Blake, who was still on the line, tried to motivate her.

"Chloe, I know this is hard, but now is not the time to freeze up. This might be your last chance with him and you might miss out…" Blake continued, but no matter what he said, all he heard in return were Chloe's sobs and sniffles.

Her vision was blurred by hot tears that streamed through her eyes uncontrollably. She felt her heart writhing with agony and as she tried to hold in the pain, she felt her breath hitching.

Blake, who heard her tough breathing, knew she was having a panic attack and tried to calm her down by saying random things but no matter what he said, it didn’t help Chloe recover.

    Chloe slowly distanced her phone from her ear, looking dissappointed. “What did she say?” Juan asked curiously. “You’re his favorite daughter, you rescued him, he died in your arms, now you burry him.” Chloe replied in Jamie’s voice. “That is what she said.” She added, this time, in her own voice. Juan walked closer and hugged her warmly, “You don’t need her. You can handle this on your own.” He reassured her and Chloe nodded lightly. When Juan released her from the hug, she wiped the last drop of tears on her face and faked a smile, “Thank you, Juan!” “What about Blake?” She asked curiously. Juan looked back and sighed, “Uhmm… I think he can’t handle bodies…I mean dead bodies. He seemed like he was having a hard time facing him.” He replied, reffering to Mason. Chloe sighed as he thought about his childhood trauma, “Well, we need to take him away. I can’t sit and watch him…rot.” She said, her voice hitching. “Sure, I will speak with them and…” His voice trailed off as

    Dawson sighed as he began to pace about, "James will be discharged this week. Once he is out, we can start mining immediately.Vivian scoffed in disbelief as she also walked towards him and asked, "Do you realize our luck so far lies in the hands of Chloe's cluelessness? I heard she was with Mason on his deathbed, what if he told her something about it?" "Why can't you get a simple job done? First, you were supposed to take discreet care of Chloe and you failed! Keep your f*cking family reputation clean and you failed! Get the location of the landmine and you failed! what exactly can you do to perfection to even dream of becoming a King?" She asked angrily. Her anger and words only provoked Dawson and he decided to give a piece of his mind. "Cleaning up your f*cking mess! That is something I can do to perfection.

    Isabella and Damien exchanged a quick glance before they both picked up their bags, ready to leave. "I really appreciate your presence here today and I hope we can do this another time." Chloe showed her appreciation. She then called her guard to drop them off before they eventually left the suite. "You must not want to talk about Bryce for now." Chloe said and Blake nodded in agreement. "So, what about the Marlowes?" She asked curiously. "They refused to shift the meeting from tomorrow." Blake replied. As per the summon Chloe and her lawyer had sent to the Marlowe, their meeting was supposed to take place the next day but after her father's death, she decided to shift the date till after his burial. "But I have to prepare for Dad's burial. How come they are so emotionless?" Chloe complained worriedly."I thought they'd at least give you a break…at least to mourn him but I guess they never ceased to show their inhumanity.

    The room would have been silent except for Laila's heels which echoed on the ground as she walked to her seat beside George. "How come the name of your Legal Representative suddenly changed? This wasn't what was stated in the…" "There were a few changes at the last minute that's why I came up with a new file." Laila quickly interrupted as she handed over the new file to her. Victoria was hesitant but she eventually took the file and went through it. "That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Laila asked but Victoria's silence was the response she needed. Chloe noticed the tension between them and decided to think long and hard about where she knew Laila from. She was still lost in thought when Judge Bernard, who was to act as their negotiator, walked in and took his seat after exchanging pleasantries with them. "F*ck!" Chloe gasped in disbelief as she finally realized who Laila was. "Laila Creed!" She gasped again while pointing at her and then looking at Victoria who seemed disturb

    Chloe coughed for a while before she replied, "I'm fine." Just then George who was watching them angrily stormed towards Blake and attempted to attack him but Zane caught his fist before it could reach his face and pushed him away with another punch. Zane has always been more muscular than then and seeing that he was ready to fight, George began to hesitate. "What was I thinking? That Blake f*cking Kensington would fight me himself when he has a dog that barks on his behalf!" George said, hoping to provoke Blake. Zane tried to hit him again but Blake stopped him and immediately punched George's face before he knew what was coming, making him stagger backward. "F*cker! You wanna fight me? Now you have it!" Blake threatened, also ready to fight. George spat the blood in his mouth and charged towards Blake but Zane stopped him once again and Chloe pulled Blake back. "Blake, please stop this! Let's just leave here." Chloe begged and seeing how exhausted she was, he decided to follo

    After over a minute of waiting for a response from Blake, Chloe stuttered, "So– that isn't a lie too?""No. It's the truth." Blake replied. Chloe slumped to her seat in disbelief as she had hoped all along for it to be a lie. "Why did you string me along?" She asked, tears streaming down her eyes. "Is this your way of getting back at me for falling for George first instead of you?" She asked but didn't get a response. "Even though it was very swift and short, I did have a crush on you back then. I didn't dare approach because you were sacred Prince while I was just a mere college student. If you had approached me first I would have definitely dated you. Why? Why do you have to make me go through the heartbreak again?" She asked, tears soaking her hair which had covered her face. Blake knelt before and quickly grabbed her hands before she could take them away. "Chloe, I know I withheld some information from you but I honestly think you're taking this too far.

  • Another Chance To Love You, My Prince Charming    FLASHBACK: Victoria Kensington

    FLASHBACK….Braxton Kensington was in his early 30s when he ascended the throne of the king of Castile after his parents' demise and therefore was saddled with the responsibility of caring for his younger sister, Victoria Kensington. This made him overly protective of her which was why even though love marriage was accepted in the Royal Family, Braxton tried to take control of Victoria's love life by always making sure she stayed away from men. Despite this, Victoria had her fair share of history of dating several men and while the men always ended up with their hearts broken, Victoria always had fun. By the time Victoria was rounding up with law school, she eventually fell in love with Felix Creed, a public servant who was a few years older than her. When Braxton found out about their relationship, he was obviously against it as he already had a suitor in mind for her– Charles Wentworth, a young businessman and the younger brother of Braxton's friend. Charles and Victoria were

    "I thought you googled her online, didn't you read the part that they are happily married now?" Blake asked curiously. "Well…I saw she was divorced and then remarried 10 years ago and gave birth to a lovely twin. Why did she end her love marriage? Was it under your Dad's pressure?" Chloe asked curiously. Blake chuckled as he laid back in the bed. "Love marriage? I think it's all about Luck. Now tell me, what do you think about it?" He replied to her question with a question. "It's not a matter of luck at all. It's all about how the two people in love really feel about each other." She replied. "You have a point, but how do you know what a person truly feels for you just through their words?" He asked again. "Not just through their words, their actions matter. One can lie through their words but not by their actions." She replied. "But I've seen someone lie even through their actions. I mean two people now." Blake replied. "Who?" Chloe asked cluelessly.

    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
