Kim was shocked to hear that Elvis called her the name of his dead ex-girlfriend. She still remembered that Thomas told her about the issue of Elvis losing his girlfriend to cancer. Although she felt pity for him, she still feels like he didn't have to right to do whatever he was doing to her.Just when she felt his breath get heavier on her skin, she opened her eyes and jerked up quickly."Kim. it's not what you think.. I." Elvis began to speak."You don't have to explain. It's exactly what I think it is Elvis.""What do you mean?""You had me drugged. How do you explain such actions? And you touched me in my sleep. Do you want your limbs cut off? Do you know I'm Henry William's woman?.""Kimberly.. it isn't what you think. I didn't do any of that to you." Elvis denies."Don't even try to deny it, Elvis. I am aware of every single thing you've been up to. Even with the issue of Henry." He accused quickly.Kim got off the bed and stared at Elvis Sternly."How could I have trusted you?
"You don't have to act that way, Kim. We are still friends. Remember?." "I am not a friend to someone like you. matter of fact, I regret knowing you, Elvis." "Ah ah ah.. be careful what you wish for Kim. Remember you're still in my grip and I might tighten it." "Now tell me. Why have you refused to let my maids take care of you? Do you know you look so miserable?." He said sarcastically.Kim doesn't regard it as a joke since he wasn't lying. She looked miserable. "Does it matter?.""Yes, it does matter to me. I don't like to see you this way."Kim scoffed at his words."Then let me leave." She demanded."Sure. I will do that soon enough. You just have to exercise patience. My dear.. patience is a virtue and it's very precious, especially in your situation.""Did I offend you in any way and this is how you're punishing me?."Elvis doesn't respond."What am I saying? Evil people don't need a reason to treat you badly." "Your tongue is still as sharp," Elvis said and stood up."Let
"Are you pregnant?." She heard him ask all of a sudden.Kimberly who thought she was about to have her monthly period gets bombarded with such questions by Elvis."No, I'm not." She retorted instantly."Women don't throw up for no reason," Elvis informed."You should get the test done." He suggested."It shouldn't bother you if I'm pregnant or not Elvis. Even if I am, you know quite well that it isn't your baby.""But I don't mind fathering him." "Him? It isn't confirmed yet. Stop labeling a gender." Kim reminded and headed towards the bed."I need privacy please leave." She requested.Thinking about her current condition, Elvis decided not to stress or force things on her."I will leave you and your baby to rest." Elvis exited the room instantly.Kim was perplexed by how Elvis reached them when he thought she was pregnant. He seemed more excited than her. The supposed expectant mother.Kim found herself touching her tummy as she thought of the possibility of carrying Henry's baby in
After leaving Kim's room, Elvis went downstairs to attend to Vanessa who he realized didn't come alone but was accompanied by Margaret."Your highnesses. To what do I owe the honor of this visit?." Elvis asked as he sat on the jacquard couch designed extravagantly."My sister here.." Margaret began but stopped as soon as Vanessa cast a gaze at her."Where is Kimberly?" Vanessa asked."Kimberly? You're in my house don't forget that fact Nessa." "It's Your house alright. But I came to speak with my sister-in-law." Vanessa responded angrily. Margaret tried to calm her down as she patted her back slowly."Calm down Vanessa. Don't let your temper rule you." Margaret pleaded."The last time I checked, Henry isn't your brother, and Kimberly isn't Married to him yet. And you both weren't having a good relationship." "Shouldn't be a bother to you." Vanessa flared up."It also shouldn't bother you that Kimberly is now my woman and not your brother's.""You're nothing but a coward Elvis and a
"Did you ever even love my brother?." Vanessa asked and finally got into the car and Margaret joined her instantly.Vanessa took over the driver's seat in an attempt to drive the car but Margaret wouldn't let her. "You don't know how to drive and I can't let you risk it." Margaret reminded."I don't care. I just don't want to be anywhere around a disgusting woman like you." Vanessa spat."Don't you dare speak to me in that manner Vanessa?" She takes a seat as Vanessa shifted to the passenger seat."You are not aware of whatever's going on and you have no right to ask me such questions, Vanessa." She shouted."All my life and all these years I have been married to your brother and I pledged my loyalty to Leonard and the Williams household.""That doesn't answer my question, Margaret. I ask, do you love Leonard?."Margaret sighed for the umpteenth time."Yes. I do love Leonard even if he cheats on me countless times. Yes, I still do love him so much. Just like the very first day when I
Following a week,Andrew could move his legs and walk as well. He'd been on bed rest for a week, which was unusual for him. He was also under the care of a physician, and he had many x-rays to check that he had recovered.He puts on a t-shirt and heads over to Henry's balcony where he was seated, enjoying the view. Andrew became concerned when he noticed Henry was sipping whiskey because Henry is known to struggle when he drinks. And he could tell he hadn't gotten back to Kimberly yet."Your majesty." He respectfully bowed"Take a seat," Henry ordered which he did instantly."You have just recovered and shouldn't be moving around much." Henry cautioned."I'm fine your highness. I appreciate your care towards my health." After a short silence, Andrew spoke."I don't deserve your forgiveness. You've done a lot of help for a rebel like me." "You haven't betrayed me. Not at all." Henry assured."I shouldn't have done that. I don't deserve to seat or serve you my Lord. I've committed a c
"Henry.. please Not my baby!." Regina screamed out from her sleep. A maiden was there to hold her back as she attempts to stand up immediately after she woke up."It's just a nightmare, your highness." The maiden assured.Regina breathed and sighed. She began to touch her tummy and rub it all over."My baby. He tried to hurt him." She cried."Who is he?." The maiden asked.Hearing that question, Regina somehow regained her senses and realized where she was in.She didn't dare to say anything, especially to an ordinary maiden."Nothing. " She quickly denies it."What happened?.""You fainted. The doctor is on his way to come to examine your health.." Just then, a knock was heard on the door and a man walked in with a bodyguard. The man was wearing a white lab coat which already Indicated that he was the doctor called to attend to Regina."Good evening. I am doctor Hillary." He introduced himself politely to Regina who snubbed his greetings."I don't need a doctor to check on me. I had
Andrew entered the room after receiving a phone call to report to Henry."Your highness.." He bowed politely as usual."What did you get?.""It has been confirmed by our source that Elvis is bringing Kimberly to the wedding. And they are heavily guarded." He announced.Henry doesn't reply."She also isn't pregnant. It was a false alarm after Elvis took her to conduct a test. It came out negative." Andrew explained in detail.After a while, they were all settled in the hall. Both the guests and the couples. Also, a priest to conduct the ceremony. It was a grande celebration between two socialite families. Despite the casualties surrounding the wedding, it was still determined to push through that day.Regina was dressed elegantly in her white wedding dress.

She roamed her fingers on the portrait, touching his face and lips.She managed to get a picture of a full full-face file of Henry's from the internet. During her time with him, she was able to take several unaware shots of him and his side profiles.

Kimberly thought of ways to contact Grandma Lee's lawyer. He was the only person she hoped for. If Grandma could trust him with her documents, he must be able to get her out of prison. In the evening when the prisoners were in line for breakfast, Kimberly didn't go to get her food. She felt sick from what she ate for lunch. Anthonia stayed back with her."Ahhh." She cried painfully."What's wrong with you? Are you okay?.""No I'm not okay, my stomach hurts." Kimberly cried."Here, drink water." Anthonia offered."No, that's not it. My stomach hurts so much."Kimberly felt a warm wet liquid run through her thighs and she touched it. She was bleeding."My baby. I'm losing my baby." She cried out. Anthonia freaked out and she began to bang hard on the grate gate."Someone, we need help in here." Sh

Kimberly still stood her ground and refused to give it to him.Francis showed her some pictures on hon tablet. "I'm sure you wouldn't want your brother dead?." He asked her.

After everything was over, Leonard appeared in Henry's grave later that day.He was dressed in black as per funeral rights and he stood near the grave. Didn't attend the burial earlier that day, so he decided to pay his respect at that time. He was a bit drunk when he got there.He leaned down on the grave, staring at the tombstone of his half-brother seemed unbelievable to him. Even though he wanted Henry dead, he wanted Henry to die in his hands. Leonard felt that he lost to Henry, seeing him die in a plane crash."You're a coward, Henry. You're always fond of running away and not facing me. " He said,"We should've fought a lot more times. I owe you so much. Remember?" He lamented."I still have to pay you back for getting me locked up by my father. I deserve it. I have to shoot you with the bullets from my new gun." He explained.That same evening, Kimberly arrived at the graveyard to pay her last respects to Henry. As she saw the man on the grave, she quickly recognized him as Leo
Kimberly woke up after a few hours. According to Grandma Lee who was sitting beside her bed, she had passed out earlier and was brought to the hospital by granny with the help of some servants. Kimberly tried to stand up from bed."Henry, I need to find Henry. Grandma." She cried. "I cannot live without him." "Kimberly, get a hold of yourself. You should live well, if not for anyone but for your baby." "Grandma, it's hard for me to move on. Henry promised never to leave me. I told him I wouldn't leave." Kimberly couldn't control her tears as she spoke.Later that day, she was discharged from the hospital. Granny found out that Kimberly had no pregnancy complications as Henry had thought. The doctor in Germany lied to him. Granny didn't tell Kimberly anything and decided to investigate the issue. She found out that someone had the doctor manipulate the results to send Henry away. Henry's death had been plotted before now.Granny swore to get to the route of everything and find out w
When Kimberly opened her eyes she realized that she wasn't tied or blindfolded as she expected since they were kidnapped earlier. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar place which she instantly recognized as the Williams mansion.She felt a throbbing headache hit her as she tried to stand up, they used so much drugs for her that she woke up late at night. "Henry?" She called out, staring at the masculine figure standing near the window. Henry wore only pants and was shirtless. Kimberly twitched her face irritably at the choking smell in the air. It was the smell of Henry's tobacco, clouding the air in the room.He put out the smoke, realizing that Kimberly didn't like it and he went to her.Kimberly was still confused by everything that happened. She realized where they were but wasn't aware of what happened after they were kidnapped which was the last scene she remembered before passing out.Henry sat behind her on the bed and patted her hair backward slowly. "How did
Kimberly stared at him for a moment, admiring his sincerity as he swore not to lose her. She grinned teasingly for putting him in a frenzied state."You sound so serious like any one of us is going to leave," Kim said and she wrapped her hands around his waist tightly. "I love you, Henry." She muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I love you too," Henry replied."Now, we should be heading inside. I think we've had enough of the wind for the night." Henry said and he carried her in bridal style inside their house. Kimberly giggled all the way Inside. "It tickles." She spoke in an almost faded voice.At the airport, Kimberly bid goodbye to David. It was a bit emotional for both siblings to separate from each other again. Knowing fully well that it may take long before they see each other again. After boarding the plane, Kimberly didn't hold back her tears and they streaked down uncontrollably on her face.Henry pulled her for a hug. "We would see him soon, Kim. And you both won't hav
Kimberly was discharged after three days and was placed under bed rest. Henry knew that they couldn't make a journey back to their country yet till she recovers so he brought a house in Germany for them to stay comfortably. He wouldn't want her using an elevator or feeling bothered to climb stairs so he bought a well-furnished bungalow."I feel like our life is peaceful living this way, Henry. Without anyone bothering us." Kim spoke. She snuggled herself into his arms on the bed and he held her tightly."Kim." He called out. "Yes?" She answered instantly, sniffing in his cologne that she couldn't get enough of. Kimberly had always loved the scent of Henry, and it seemed that it increased ever since she realized her pregnancy. She couldn't tell if it was her normal self or the change of hormones that made her love his scent more. But one thing she could tell was that Henry scents so well."I love you." He whispered. "I love you so much." He repeated and kissed her forehead."And our bab
