It was the next morning when Kimberly woke up, her visions were still blurry so she touched Henry's part of the bed and realized that it was empty. When she could finally see clearly, the sun didn't relent in finding it's way directly to her eyes through the small opening in the luxurious silk curtains.Kim felt sour all over and could hardly speak. After so much moaning overnight, she wasn't sure if she would recover her voice soon. Kim tried to move from the bed in order to find Henry but as she tried, it became hard for her. The pains she felt was undescribably painful. Her legs felt really heavy and aches around her thighs.Kim almost regret allowing Henry rampange her body that much the previous night.Just as she laid back down in order to rest her body a bit, she saw the door push open. Revealing the most handsome man she had ever seen. Henry walked in holding a ceramic tray containing Kimberly's breakfast. Kim couldn't help but feel flustered with the fact that Henry made her
"The food I cooked for you tastes horrible." He confessed shamefully."You tasted the food?." "Don't try to act cunning with me. Why did you eat it when it tastes that awful?.""Because you made it." She blurted out instantly."It doesn't matter how it tastes, what really matters was the effort and time you put into making it, Henry." Kim said as she stood up from the bed to meet him."Careful." He cautioned.Kim walked slowly till she finally got to Henry who stood near the window and she wrapped her warm arms around his waist."I'm sorry for not telling you the truth." She apologized and kissed his naked back. "You should never lie to me, no matter what." Henry demanded as he turned face her. "I love you." He confessed, followed by a kiss on her forehead which she returned pleasantly and it furthered into a romantic action. Unexpectedly, Henry carried Kimberly up and she jerked. Noticing her cringe, Henry broke off the kiss and whispered to her."You can't escape me Kim. You'll h
Kim was now out of the bathtub and was busy drying her hair while facing the mirror, Henry had just left the room to go attend to Andrews calls. She continued with her hair while she was clouded by thoughts. Despite the fact that Henry brought her here to his vacation house and promised to be together with her, she still thinks that it doesn't guarantee anything since he was about to be married to Regina and their marriage alliance still holds. She couldn't help but wonder if the marriage would still push through despite everything. She also thought about how it would've been for her if Henry had successfully married Regina that day. She would've lost him forever if it wasn't Leonard's stunt.Kim felt warm kisses on her neck as she was about to turn from the mirror, Henry grabbed he tightly with his bold arms and pressed slowly.."Hnm.. what is my wife thinking about?." He asked."When did you get here?.""Just now, why? You didn't notice? What's wrong?." Henry surveyed her face for
Kimberly served two bowls of soup and offered one to the maid."You highness, I don't deserve to eat a meal cooked by you." The maiden knelt down instantly."What is your name?." Kim asked."Hilda. My name is Hilda ma'am." She answered politely."Hilda, here is a bowl of soup for you." Kim pointed and left with hers to eat in her room. Meanwhile at the palace, Henry wasn't given an audience by Emperor Francis who claimed that he didn't want to speak with anyone that day. He had Leonard locked up in his dungeon and he expected anyone to come plead on his behalf but he didn't expect Henry to come."Your highness, you can't go in." A bodyguard argued with Henry.'Do I have to fight your guards to always get through to you father?.' Henry yelled from outside. Knowing fully well that Francis heard him. It didn't take long before he saw that Francis came out of the room to address him."What have you come to see me for?" He spoke. Maintaining an unperturbed attitude towards Henry."Let go
"Henry, I swear, it's our baby." Regina cried."Regina, stop deceiving yourself with this lie." Henry said and slowly removed her hand from his shirt."I would be returning back to the palace. With my wife." He informed. "But I am your wife." Regina reminded."Even the gods were against the wedding. That's why it was such a disaster." Henry mocked. Regina could hardly stand on her feet after what she had just heard Henry say. He would return to the mansion with Kim. How was she going to cope with the woman around Henry?. She had to put a stop to all of this before she finally lost her place in Henry's life.Later that night, Henry returned back to the vacation house and the maid announced that Kimberly had already fallen asleep, after waiting for him for so long.Henry went into the room and after freshening up, he went to bed beside Kim. In the morning, when Kimberly woke up, she realized that Henry had come in last night. His scent was still very fresh in her nostrils and it was pl
Kim had stayed awake on the couch throughout the night accompanied by Hilda who didn't dare fall asleep and watched her.As she stood up, Hilda did the same."Go to bed, you must be very tired Hilda." Kim said."I can't. I have to do the chores." She reminded."I'm relieving you of your duties today. You can have a day off. Have the other maidens clean the house while you rest." She instructed and went upstairs.After a while, Kimberly came back downstairs when she was fully dressed to go out. Her initial plan was to go out and find a way to get through David but she didn't have a place in mind yet. She wanted to hack through his guardian emails which only Henry could access. She didn't know when he would return it if he would reveal to her what the issue was so she had to find out for herself."We can't let you go out, your highness. It's his Majesty's order." The bodyguard said."Are you trying to restrict me from leaving? How dare you?.""Please understand my situation. I'm only do
Henry let's her off and she falls to the ground. "Ouch!." Kim exclaimed in pain."Would you let me go with you now? I really need to be there with David." She begged."Fine, I will let you come with me. I bought our tickets already." Henry announced. Kim couldn't contain her happiness and she tried to stand up and hug him, forgetting the pain in her waist when she fell."The flight is scheduled for tomorrow." Henry added. Kim nodded and smiled at him. "Got it." She said."Please help me get up." She requested but he only ignored her."You wanted to fall, you can stay there, while I sit here and watch you.""Seriously?." Kim sounded frustrated. And it was something Henry loved. To see her frustrated after she got him angry.Later that night, Kim was standing near the window and she stared at a necklace. It was actually a pendant. David's pendant, which he wore from childhood. She actually took it from him in order to hide his identity. The pendant contained pictures of their parents a
As soon as the reached the station, they went straight to the police chief office to wait. Shorty, David was brought in by two policemen and they left him with them."Sister." David exclaimed excitedly and rushed to hug Kimberly but instead she pushed him off from her."Don't touch me." She snarled at him angrily."Sis, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't do it." David explained instantly."You didn't do it? Why were you there in the first place? Why did you go to the party if you didn't want something like this to happen?." She scolded."Kimberly, it's okay." Henry tried to speak to her."No Henry, you won't teach me how to discipline my brother." She retorted sharply."Well, this isn't about discipline Kim. It's about believing that he didn't do it and getting him out of here." David stared at Kimberly as tears streaked down his cheeks. "I swear, I didn't do it. I know I'm wrong for going to the party in the first place. I regret it. But I never touched Carmen." "Please, you ha

Kimberly stared at the gigantic portraits of Henry and David which she didn't get tired of staring at. she moved closer to them and touched one of Henrys'"Henry, I miss you so much," she confessed, hoping to get a reply. 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. Henry didn't like pictures, even when the press managed to get pictures of him, he had them destroyed.Kimberly smiled as she was reminded of that.She put her forehead on that of Henry's picture and closed her eyes. Kimberly couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes.suddenly, the door was barged open by a little boy. "Mummy." he rushed in quickly and hugged her. Kimberly shif
Kimberly spent three more days in prison, there was no disturbance from Francis or torture from the policemen. Anthonia, her new cellmate made sure to protect her from her previous cellmates. 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 hoped that she wouldn't regret her actions. She spent two days in solitary confinement and wasn't given food to eat or water to drink. Kimberly had almost died from hunger. On the third day, she was taken back to her normal cell and was given food. That evening, Francis came to visit and request the papers again. 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. Kimberly was shocked to see her brother in such a situation, he was all tied up and a gun was pointed at his head. In the video, David struggles to speak as his mouth was gagged.She couldn't hear a thing he said."Please don't hard my brother. I'll do anything you ask of me." She pleaded."Where are the goddamn papers?""I swear, I know nothing about them. I don't have any papers with me." She confessed.Kimberly was taken back to her cell, mistreated,d and beaten by the guards. Kimberly held
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
