“Good news?” Chloe wondered.

Victoria excitedly waved the file in the air as she exclaimed, “Tada…the divorce decree just came from the court.”

Excited, Chloe grabbed the file and tore it open.

“This is officially stating that you, Chloe Knightley won the divorce suit against George Marlowe and I, Victoria Amazing Kensington retain my title as the ‘Unicorn’ in the legal field.” Victoria giggled excitedly as she offered herself a place to sit.

Chloe grinned from ear to ear as she digested the contents of the decree. “I might not know what your title means but I do absolutely agree you are amazing.”

“Oh, I'd gladly tell you.” Victoria said as she sat back and offered herself a glass of wine. “I’ve never lost a case in my career– as rare as the Unicorn. You get it?” She asked after explaining.

Chloe sighed heavily, her smile quickly disappearing from her face, “That means Laila lost her first case.”

Victoria sipped a glass and replied, “That's what she gets for crossing me.”

    “The guts…” Stephanie’s angry voice hit Chloe's ear as soon as she stepped into the living room of the Mansion. She had ordered the guards to stop her at the veranda but Dawson phoned them from his home office and asked them to let her in. “Chloe, you're here,” Sebastian said excitedly as he rushed down the stairs. The duo hugged warmly which irritated not only Stephanie but Hilda who was watching from the second floor. “The movers should be here anytime soon, you should go sort your things first,” Sebastian suggested and Chloe nodded in response. Sebastian noticed how tense she looked so he wrapped his hand around her shoulder and gently patted her as they started to walk closer to the stairs. “Does she terrify you?” He asked in a whisper and Chloe nodded again. “She used to scare me too when I was younger. Do you know how I conquered that fear? When she frowns, I assume she magically transforms into Shrek…” Chloe burst into laughter, patting his chest as she tried to control

    Chloe's lips curved into a broad grin as Blake's name appeared on her phone.Finally, the call she had been waiting for for two days finally came in and she didn't hesitate to answer it. “I’m sorry for keeping you in suspense.” Blake apologized as soon as his call was answered. “I missed you,” Chloe confessed instead. “Me too.” Blake also confessed and silence swept over for several seconds. Blake eventually spoke up, “My parents want to see you–” Upon noticing the hesitation in his voice, she quickly understood his fear. “Chloe Knightley or Aurora Marlowe?” She asked knowingly. Blake was hesitant yet again before he replied, “The latter.” “I hope you’re not offended but my parents haven’t been able to sleep properly since she found out you were still alive. They really want to meet you– Now.” Chloe suggested. “Why would I be offended? It’s a good thing anyway. At Least I get to see you.” She said,“Okay then. Zane will pick you up in an hour.” He announced. Several seconds

    Chloe rolled over on the bed, stretching her tired body as she slowly sat up. As she rubbed her face, Blake was nowhere to be seen around the room but a broad smile appeared on her face when she saw the tray of breakfast in the drawer beside the bed. She took a sip from the warm tea and smiled even more broadly, “How did you hide this romantic side of you so well, My Prince charming?” She giggled as she remembered their previous night and she stretched a little more before relaxing her back on the headboard of the bed, her smile not leaving her eyes. Her eyes darted to the dress hanging in front of Blake's wardrobe and she quickly knew it was for her since she hadn't seen it there the previous day and the note on her breakfast tray confirmed it. After taking her breakfast, she took her bath and changed into the simple but elegantly styled sapphire dress Blake left for her before going downstairs to join the family. Upon coming across Diana downstairs, Chloe quickly remembered th

    “Explain? I don't need it. What I need right now is for you to tell me all those sexting, pictures and videos aren't real.” Blake stated firmly, his eyes burning with rage. Chloe remained mute unable to deny the truth. She wasn't willing to lie to Blake and telling the truth won't exactly set her free in this situation. “Chloe, say something or I might just believe I am nothing but someone to pass the time. I love you and you know it so just tell me exactly how you feel for me. I promise I won’t blame you.” He suggested. Tears flowed freely from Chloe’s eyes as she found it hard to give a proper explanation and all she could say was, “I’m sorry, Blake. I’m sorry I did all that with him but I swear it’s you I want.” “It’s me you want or…it has to be me? I mean I am the better candidate right now?” Out of anger, he provoked Chloe. Chloe’s tears quickly seemed to dry up upon hearing his demeaning statement. “Do you think I am after your wealth? Or your fame?” She asked angrily. “

    Ruby was hesitant to respond, her eyes darting around the corners of the room and back to Blake. “Yes.” She mumbled a reply. “F@ck!” Blake exclaimed, briefly covering his mouth with his hand as he looked away from her. He felt a bit flustered by Ruby’s response. Zane definitely wasn’t a saint. He has been with several girls in the past but it was purely for sex and no string has ever been attached. But no lady has ever said they loved him. Probably because he’s not looking for love. “He doesn’t even treat you nicely, how can you…” he was at a loss for words.“I know, right?” She asked, gaining her confidence a little. “He is always so mean to me yet I can’t control this stupid thing called heart now that we live in the same house.” “At first I thought it was just a fling but now I’m sure of what I feel, Blake. I’m in love with Zane and it’s driving me crazy. Just seeing him makes me want to touch myself…”“Ruby!” Blake exclaimed. Ruby collapsed into her stool, “I do sometimes.

    “Chloe, you…” Blake’s voice trailed off as he wasn’t sure how to reply. Chloe walked closer and took a seat beside Blake, her hand holding Blake’s hand gently as she began to explain. “I know it was a very stupid thing to do but all those chatting, sexting and even kissing were just an act to corner George into signing the document. At first, I tried to sway him just to make Jamie pay for cheating on me but then…I decided to use it for a greater goal. I pretended to love him and I messed with his mind into believing that I wanted a fresh start for us.” She paused and swallowed hard before she continued.“That kiss wasn’t part of the plan but when we met up a day before the divorce, he kissed me out of the blue. Pushing him away would have made me hella suspicious which was why I just let it happen.” She concluded and she could finally see a sliver of understanding in his eyes. Victoria decided to chim in to support her, “I brought up the idea of stringing him along. I just needed

    Chloe gasped in delight, tears streaming down her face as she nodded vigorously. "Yes, Blake, yes! I will marry you," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.As they embraced, the setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and orange, creating a magical backdrop for their special moment. The sound of birds singing in the distance added to the serenity of the scene, as Blake slipped the ring onto Chloe's finger.They stood there, lost in each other's arms, as the last rays of light faded from the sky. “I love you, Chloe, and I promise nothing will ever come between us.” Blake whispered words of assurances into her ears. Tears of joy fled Chloe as she was at loss for words. She wrapped her hands around Blake and hugged him more tightly. “I love you, baby. And I promise I won’t give up on us no matter what.” She equally made her vows. They kissed for a while and went on to enjoy the serene view of the greenery, and by dusk, they eventually returned to the farm house.Zane was th

    “I thought Wes was keeping a good eye on them. How did he miss such an important thing?” Blake asked as soon as he was alone in the car. Zane removed his hand from the car steering and wiped his face worriedly, replying, “The whole plan seems to be something they had already made before. It seems it was their contingency plan all along.” “So because Dawson is being cornered, they want to create a coup just like in the past?” Blake guessed right, and Zane nodded in confirmation. “He has a court hearing next week, so they are rushing it up. Without you or the King, no one would be able to stop him.” Zane explained further. Blake anxiously swiped through his tablet, digesting more information that his informant had gathered until the car eventually came to a halt in front of a small bungalow several miles away from the city. When the duo walked in, a few other people making up his secret investigation team were already gathered in the meeting room of the house. “I hope no one was t

    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
