Days past turning into weeks and King Archer wasn't still back, I had waited for him but still no signs of him coming back. I fought all negative thoughts and didn't want to believe that he was in any form of trouble as I lay on the bed with my eyes focused on the ceiling and my ears listening to all the advice from the midwife, I must say… Ever since a midwife was appointed to me the pregnancy process has been quite easy with the exercises she made me do and all. Most importantly the cravings were now better cared for. "My Queen, I'm done here for today, I will see you tomorrow" The midwife said, lifting her fat body from the couch as she bowed and headed out as I turned to Sage who stared at me with a smile on her lips. "So my Queen, I made this special lemonade for you and I am sure you will love it after tasting it" she said as she made to the glass jug on the table pouring some contents out of it into a fragile glass cup. My attention wasn't exactly on the lemonade she was ab
I stared at her with distaste and a frown that I couldn't hide as two teenage boys came down from the second chariot which made me even more surprised. What's going on here! Who is this Lady and why is she here with her kids? Does King Archer have a family that no one knows about? "Yes, Pearl meet Lady Ann She is my elder brothers wife" He announced as my eyes shone in shock, I never thought of Prince Ray's family all these while "And here are her son's Charlie and Liam" King Archer said pulling them into his arms, they where indeed handsome and I could see Prince Ray in them, They look alot like him! I was so dumbfounded as I turned to the smiling face of the Lady, I suddenly felt bad for giving her such a long face even before she was introduced. Her wrinkled eye bags were so red and slightly swollen which shows that she has cried a lot, she must have been through a lot lately. "Hello Queen Pearl, nice meeting you, I have heard lots of amazing things about you and I must say I a
"Archer, you're not serious right now?" I asked as tears already smudged my view. "Well, yes I am not serious" He said bluntly as he smirked on seeing the tears in my eyes. "You look so annoying when you cry…" Even if he has a slut with him I do not have a say over it, he is King by the way. "You should stop joking in such a manner" I said in a smile wiping off my tears. "Hence you ain't coming to my room with me good night then" he said turning towards the hallway exit, I was lucky that my room was in same hallway with Lady Ann which means that I don't have to stress myself walking down the stairs "just bare in mind that you are going to be occupying Zinnia's room from tomorrow" He announced as I signed deeply. Now he wants me closer to him, this time I won't be able to avoid him at all and I will be far from my new friend Lady Ann. * * I batted my lashes steadily from the brightness that shone to my face and the noises I heard around me as I opened my eyes to see the maids t
It's been three months after the death of Zinnia and Fox and the 8th month of my pregnancy, my pregnancy was almost due and I was getting more stress from it every passing day, my mood swings became worse to the extent that King Archer stays with me at least seven hours per day, My hunger for weird food became even worse I was gaining much weight and having lots of stretch marks around my belly and my laps, I noticed that King Archer no longer tries to get close to me that much because of his hatred for stretch marks. I sat at my balcony as the cold refreshing breeze blew my hair around. I had tried my very best to calm and free my mind from stress and Lady Ann and her son's helped me with that. I and Lady Ann became closer each passing day and her son's became free with me to the extent that they spend more time with me than their mother. Lady Ann was so fast in moving on and forgetting her loving husband and I admired her for that knowing that I won't recover quickly if anything h
I was roughly handled out of my room, walking through the hallway I sighted King Archer at the corner addressing some guards he turned to me but didn't react in any way. Their grip was just so hard that I felt unbearable pain, getting outside of the castle they threw me roughly to the ground as the crowd gasped… Yes, the People of Guham came to witness my ritual and I could see pity in the eyes of most of them. I sat on the floor weakly as tears streamed down my cheeks, I was scared of whatever task they would give to me because their approach wasn't peaceful at all. "Before we begin the ritual we would like to plead to the queen to endure whatever task she would be given, this is a peaceful ritual and every one of us has gone through it so please do not see it as punishment" one of them said which I didn't react to knowing how weak I was already. "The King has the right to stop us from performing the ritual with the Queen" The queen with pixie blonde hair said as I followed her ey
Lady Ann rushed into Pearls room as she has been hearing the disturbing cries of the baby, seeing the puzzle in Pearl and the king's eyes she hurried towards them taking the baby from Pearl seeing the baby's sudden change of color her heart ached the baby's crying voice was growing louder by seconds and she understood the pains the little girl was going through. "Lady Ann, you have cared for babies before and I am sure you understand wherever my baby is going through right now, please tell me so that we can find a solution immediately. I can't watch my few hours old baby crying more than an adult would!" Pearl said in a pleading voice as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Pearl she will be fine once the doctor comes, she has a heart problem but don't panic she will be fine" Ann assured as she caressed the baby warmly. Pearl fell on her bed devastated by her baby's situation as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably "isn't she just too young for all these…" She whispered calmly as
After a long horrible coma of three years, Pearl was back on her feet to celebrate her 23rd birthday. She was so happy finally seeing her friends and family after three years. No one could ever believe that a simple fall into a slope could put Pearl into a three years coma. After all the years of lost hope, Pearl was back in good health. She has always been that brave red-haired girl with sharp blue eyes who never fears anybody. She's also known to be good with swords and fly kicks. She's, in general, a strong girl. "I am so happy to see you this strong and happy, Pearl. We literally lost hope of seeing you alive!" Seren said as she styled Pearl's hair beautifully. "I know, right? I am so happy seeing my lovely besties again; I can't imagine what it'd look like losing you two!" She said with a smile as the three friends hugged warmly. "It's your first birthday after three years. We will make sure we pimp you real good for the guest to see you, you know?… You will be having lots of
I was being taken away by some unknown men, and my parents weren't saying a word to stop them; I felt so hurt and worthless. Was this why they were acting suspiciously all the period of my birthday? Were they expecting this to happen? Who was the rich-looking young man dressed in a royal robe? He stood in front of my parents so strongly and powerfully. I hated myself for not being able to defend myself and my parents, and I hated the woman I had become after the coma. I was now a weak duckling. "What do I owe to deserve this kind of treatment from you and your master?" I asked the very mighty-looking black man, who wasn't smiling a bit as he turned to me coldly with no expression written on his face. "He is not just my master, he is the King of Guham, and you're betrothed to him, so you should learn to get used to him or watch yourself be his sex slave," the man said sternly and faced the air staring at nothing in particular. I was a bit confused by what he said; what did he mean
