A FEW HOURS LATER….

Zane and Victoria joined Blake in Chloe’s suite shortly after Sebastian had left the hotel. Zane had dropped Blake off earlier and went to pick Victoria up which was why Blake had come into the suite alone.

Blake narrated the whole thing that transpired between them and Sebastian earlier that day.

“But what’s wrong with her? Is she supposed to be the happiest here?” Victoria asked, looking at Chloe who had been sulking away since they came.

“She’s been like that since Sebastian told us about his third loss. His first wife was three months pregnant when she was killed in an accident. Sebastian was going to be a father but then his father forced him to start his life all over again. It’s so painful, I wonder how he can cope in that house.

“Dawson is desperately trying to be a Marlowe of course. The Marlowe family have always stayed together, just not like this–” Victoria said.

“Like how?” Blake wondered.

Victoria sighed heavily, “Look, there is a lot about that

    Chloe and Isabella sat facing each other on the bed while the box remained in between them."I thought you wanted to be completely alone…" "Shh!" Chloe interrupted as she tried to unlock the box. Her hands were sweaty and shaky, hence causing a delay. “Why are you so anxious?” Isabella wondered. Chloe rolled her eyes as she replied, “Pandora’s box is expected to bring unforeseen trouble, how am I not supposed to be anxious?”She immediately went back to unlocking the box and for several seconds, she hissed and sighed, stressing over the passcode. "What now?" Isabella asked curiously. "Dad said the passcode was my birthday but I've tried it so many times yet it isn't working.” She replied. "Probably because your hands are all shaky. What is your birthday, let me try it." Isabella suggested. "It's 13/06/1996." "Woah, you're old!" Isabella joked as she quickly entered the codes. Chloe rolled her eyes as he watched her. "I'm just 25!"After inputting the codes a few times, Isabe

    Over the past few weeks, Damien’s mom has been recovering well from her illness and has even begun to recognize his son. Everything was going smoothly to the extent that she was all ready to be discharged.Before Blake’s arrest the previous day, he had already given the doctor in charge of her the go-ahead to discharge her. He had already provided a residence for them and planned to take them there himself. Damien had skipped school that day so he could join them but he looked anxious as he paced around the hospital room of his mother’s room. “Damy, when is Blake coming over? I can’t wait to go back home.” Grace, Damien’s mother asked as she excitedly packed her bags. “I don’t know why he is running late…” Damien’s voice trailed off as his phone rang. “It’s him.” He said before answering the call. “Damien, I am so sorry I won’t be able to join you today. Something annoying came up at the palace…”“Good! We can just postpone the discharge day, no problem!” Damien replied and quick

    Laila’s attention was quickly concentrated on the conversation waiting to hear her response. “Kidnap?” Victoria exclaimed then laughed hyesterically. “That is such an ambiguous accusations, I could sue you for that!” She said jokingly, provoking Stephanie and Laila. Victoria gently released his hand from her grip and dusted her hand. “Let’s see if he meet up with the one hour adjournment.” She said before walking out of the courtroom. Chloe who was also listening to their conversation from a distance quickly walked after, curious about the unexpected accusation. She caught up with Victoria outside the courtroom and her curiousity drove her to start questioning Victoria immediately. “Victoria, you didn’t kidnap George, did you? You have no hand in his absences here, right?” She asked running after Victoria who was walking fast. “I saw a canteen down the road, do you want to join me for a quick bite?” Victoria asked, halting in front of her car and opening the door to the passenge

    Mr. Reed opened his suitcase and brought out a piece of document from it. “My Lord this document here is the original copy of the will of the late Mr. Mason Knightely. It has a clause which is being violated by this honorable court.” Mr. Reed explained as he handed the will to the Clerk. “According to Section 4 - ‘In Terrorem’, Mr. Knightley stated that ‘If any beneficiary under this will contest the validity or any provision of this will or commences any legal proceedings challenging the distribution of my shares, then that beneficiary shall be considered to have predeceased me and shall forfeit any shares or interest in the company.” Mr. Reed stated. “As stated in the will, Sara Edgars’ 23.7% shares were all willed to her by Mr. Mason, and for challenging his will, has lost every right to the above shares.” He added. Unlike the other shareholders who bought their shares, Vivian’s shares were willed to her upon marriage to Mason and when she first changed her name to Sara Edgar in

    By the time Damien and Blake arrived at the hospital with his vans of Bodyguards, Grace was already up, packing her things which had been unpacked after she lost consciousness. Then she tried to find out Damien's way about the nurses but Dr. John told her of his absence. Grace became even more worried and questioned the doctor just to know where her son was and Dr. John was patient enough to explain to her. “You don’t have to worry about Damien. He must have gone to the Palace. He hates to be addressed by his title at the hospital but Blake is the Pri…”At that moment the door flew open and Zane walked. “Morning.” He awkwardly waved at Grace before going on to look around the room thoroughly. This was for security purposes and under normal circumstances, the royal guards were supposed to storm in and thoroughly search the room before letting Blake and Zane walk in but Blake didn’t want to inconvenience the Patient and fervently begged the guards to at least let Zane search since

    “What?” Chloe gasped in disbelief as Victoria finally revealed the truth about Blake to her. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth all along?” She asked curiously. “Because I know you will react like this and spoil the fun. It’s already bad that Blake couldn’t celebrate today with us. Having you ruin it would only make such a beautiful night even more boring.” Victoria explained, slumping onto the big couch in the living room of the Royal Villa where she was staying. By that time, Isabella already slept off in one of the bedrooms in the house. “Is this all because of me? Does the King already know about us?” Chloe asked worriedly, fearing she might be the cause of Blake’s predicament.Victoria’s prolonged silence quickly confirmed Chloe’s fear. “Does he disapprove of us? Can you help me meet up with him? I could really convince him to gain his approval. I really love him and I don’t want to leave him for any reason.” She begged. “Chloe, things are more complicated than that. Aside fro

    CHAPTER NINETY - FOUR Blake stopped midway out of the room and walked back to his dad as he remembered an important question he wanted to ask. “Dad, I was just curious about something…it’s kinda related to the history of Castile.” Blake said, beating about the bush. “Tsk…” Braxton shuddered. “When have you ever cared? If you’re so curious why don’t you take a few history lessons.” He suggested jokingly. “Dad, I’m serious.” Dad complained. “I heard something about a map secretly carved in an Ouroboros tattoo. Is there something like that in real life?” He asked, trying to act as clueless as possible. Braxton’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing the question and he was quickly brought up to his feet. “Where did you hear that from?” He asked curiously. Blake didn’t think it through before asking his question but he definitely wasn’t going to give Chloe’s identity out just like that.“F!ck! Grace must have told you.” Braxton guessed, saving Blake from his misery. “More reason I need

    At first, Chloe was flustered but then she knew the name well so she thought Blake might have suffered another horrible nightmare and had probably run to her for comfort. She pulled him closer, hugging him tightly whilst also patting the nape of his neck but Blake didn’t stop talking and apologizing. “I’m so sorry Aurora. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. I’m sorry for not recognizing you all these years. I’m sorry for being so clueless about the pain you had to go through for my family…”Blake’s apologetic and tear-filled voice eventually made Chloe realize this was way more serious than a nightmare as she gently released his hold around him and pulled away. To her surprise, Blake’s face was covered in his own sweat and tears and his eyes were blood red. “Blake, what’s going on? Did something come up?” She asked, confused and curious. Blake let out a sigh of relief, wiping his face with the hand of his suit. He grabbed Chloe’s hand and pulled her to sit beside him on the couch.

    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
