Lawrence's POVAs I stood there, a figure approached, and it stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within me. "Bella?" I uttered, my curiosity and surprise evident.Her calm but forceful voice replied, "I have every right to be here. You have given me every opportunity to come back to this house."Confusion and disbelief clouded my mind. "What are you trying to say?" I questioned.With a sense of determination, she gestured for someone to step forward. "This is Mason, your son," she declared.The ground felt like it shifted beneath me. "How is this possible?" I gasped, my mind reeling from the revelation.Her words hit me like a lightning bolt. "I was two weeks pregnant before our separation. I gave birth to a son, and here he is, his name is Mason."Stunned into silence, I struggled to comprehend the situation. "Why didn't you inform me of this before you left?" I managed to ask, my shock and confusion resonating in my voice.Her response brought a surge of conflicting emotions. "The el
Camilla's POV"Please wait, let's talk!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, chasing Raymond as he stormed toward his car in the hospital parking lot."What more do you want us to talk about?" he shot back without even turning around. "I just got to the city and find you in the arms of another man? Come on, Camilla, what do you still want to discuss?"He reached his car, and as he turned to face me, I saw the frustration etched across his features. There was a tense silence before I finally spoke. "He was only trying to make me feel better. I've been stressed over George and what must have happened on the full moon. He observed my anxiety and tried to comfort me. There was no feeling attached.""We talked about this, Camilla, Raymond said to me, Why are you with Lawrence in the first place? How can you be with Lawrence?" Raymond's hands gestured wildly, his frustration palpable from his gestures,"I have a lot to share with you, Ray," I replied swiftly, hardly thinking. "Can we go some
Lawrence POV."It has been proven, he is the father of my son Frank, the DNA test shows that Lawrence is the father of my son" Bella screamed at the top of her voice as we entered the palace,I was feeling so low and embarrassed I couldn't utter a word, I was already expecting some drama to occur in the house because Bella was a very dramatic person,The elders all gathered on hearing of our arrival,"Lawrence is the father of the children", elder Albert questioned to gain clarity for Bella's claims, Yes he's the father of my child, and the DNA test has proven so."Then the kingdom has an heir," he said with a little smile around his cheek, I stood there not knowing what to say,The thoughts of Camilla and her twins were still going through my mind,"I can't let everyone here in the palace know about my children with Camilla yet, I need to plan and strategies properly," I said to myself,Then I managed to speak to the hearing of everyone presenting, with my Voice echoing from the larg
Camilla POVThe discovery of my child's deteriorating health plunged me into a chasm of anguish. I couldn't bear the pain any longer, nor muster the will to speak to anyone. Gently, I positioned him comfortably on the bed, ensuring he wouldn't suffer further even in my absence or the absence of anyone. Without a word to either Britney or Mira, I left the room."He's going to be okay," I overheard heard my sister reassure Mira as I stepped out the door.The overwhelming pain clung to me, my heartfelt encased in an impenetrable wall, unable to function. Tears threatened to spill with every step back to my office, but I held them back. My sister seeing me cry would be demoralizing for her or even Mira,I should be the ray of hope in their path."I have to be strong for both myself and my family," I muttered, steeling myself as I entered my office. "They can't see me like this. I need someone who understands my pain to be around me also".I decided to call Raymond, hoping he could help. B
Lawrence's POVSitting on the throne, silence hung thick in the air, it seemed like a heavy blanket over the room. My lips remained sealed, the weight of unspoken words pressing down. Silence enveloped the entire vicinity.The elders, before me, waited with bated breath for my response to the request they had made.They wanted me to reunite with Bella, the mother of Frank, whose paternity had been irrefutably confirmed by a DNA test. They demanded I remarry her, to seal our union as true mates, thus enabling the rites for the birth of an heir to proceed.The rite needed to be performed as the mouthpiece of the moon goddess has confirmed the calamity that awaits the failure of performing it.Finally, breaking the suffocating silence, I declared, "I will not marry Bella." The words echoed through the chamber, each syllable a defiant note against the ancient expectations that bound us."Why must I bind myself to someone I do not love?" I continued, my voice firm and clear. The elders exc
Raymond's POV:"Never contact me again in your life."The woman who was in the room with me disrupted our tense conversation. As she stormed out of the house, she slammed the door behind her, her furious expression lingering in the air."So, you've been cheating on me?" Camilla's voice trembled with rage, her eyes blazing with hurt and betrayal."You chose someone else over me?" she continued, her voice cracking. "I never expected you to betray me this way, Ray. I respected you for everything you did for me during my tough days in London. But cheating on me while we're engaged has destroyed any respect I had left for you."She recoiled as I stepped forward to hold her, my hands shaking. "Don't lay a finger on me," she spat."I'm sorry, Camilla," I stammered."There's no need to be sorry," she retorted coldly."I came to give you back your ring. This relationship can no longer work. I don't see a future for us."Her words hit me like a punch to the gut.Anger flared briefly,
Camilla's POV:"Lawrence just informed me he's going to speak with his mystic friend about George's condition. I need to be with him," I said to my sister as she walked into my office, a sense of curiosity lacing around my sister's face."I'll stay here with the kids, then," Britney replied, not bothering to sit down. Her eyes reflected the same worry that had been gnawing at me for days."George might seem strong, but he's still fragile," I reminded her, my voice steady but strained. "Please watch over him and make sure he doesn't engage in any strenuous activities.""That won't be a problem," she assured me, though her gaze lingered on the doorway as if she, too, was bracing up for what I was going to meet Lawrence for.As she turned to leave, a chill ran down my spine. Lawrence's mystic friend had never been wrong before, according to Lawrence, but the thought of what they might uncover about George sent a ripple of fear through me. What lay beneath the surface of his illness? I qu
Camilla POV"I've been expecting your call," Raymond's voice greeted me as soon as he answered. "Where are my children?" I cut in, my voice edged with desperation."They're safe," he replied, a silent laugh following his words."I want my kids back," I demanded, concern dripping from every syllable."Of course you do," Raymond's confidence was palpable. "But before that happens, the right thing must be done.""What are you talking about?" I asked, my curiosity morphing into a gnawing panic. I had no idea what he was implying, and the unknown was terrifying."You kids are alright, I love them, and I would do anything to keep them safe. But from this moment, that can only remain so if you comply with whatever I tell you," Raymond said, intensifying the anxiety I felt within."I don't understand what you're saying, Ray," I forced a reply through my lips."That's not a problem. I'll make it simple for you. Make your way home now; there's more for you to find out."In a state of panic, I r
