My heart raced as I continued to plead with Demetrius, desperately hoping that he would see a reason to release me. Fear coursed through my veins as I realized the gravity of the situation. The queen would surely notice my absence, and she would stop at nothing to find me. But Demetrius seemed unfazed by my threats, his cruel laughter echoing through the room."Oh, my dear Naomi, how foolish you are," he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Do you really think I plan to keep you here for long? No, my goal is much grander than that. I plan to make myself the king before Rueben even has a chance."Shock and disbelief flooded my senses. The weight of Demetrius's words settled heavily on my shoulders, and I felt a surge of determination to stop him, to protect my kingdom and the ones I loved."Demetrius, please," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "Think about what you're doing. The consequences of your actions will be devastating. Is power truly worth sacrificing everything?"His expr

Just as Demetrius finished his sentence, a thunderous crash echoed through the room as the door splintered open, revealing Rueben and Martha standing on the other side. Their faces were filled with concern and determination as they watched the scene before them."Demetrius, it's over," Rueben declared firmly, his voice resonating with authority. "You've gone too far this time. Release Naomi and surrender yourself to the authorities."Demetrius's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, his grip on me finally loosening. He seemed momentarily paralyzed, his grand plan crumbling before his eyes. The realization of his impending downfall washed over him, and his face contorted into a mixture of rage and desperation."No! You cannot stop me!" He bellowed, his voice trembling with a manic fervor. "I've come too far to back down now. This world is mine for the taking!"Martha's usual gentle demeanor was replaced by a steely resolve, and she stepped forward. "Demetrius, you are not invincible. Yo

As the queen issued her warning to Rueben, the atmosphere in the room grew tense. My heart raced as I realized the gravity of the situation. It became clear to me that Demetrius had orchestrated this entire plan to create a rift between Rueben and the queen, with the ultimate goal of weakening Rueben's chances of becoming king.My mind raced, trying to find a way to diffuse the situation and protect Rueben from making a rash decision that could jeopardize his position. I knew that getting angry at the queen would only play into Demetrius's hands.Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward, my voice filled with determination and calmness. "Rueben, please listen to me. Getting angry at the queen won't solve anything. We need to think carefully about our next move."Rueben turned to look at me, his eyes filled with frustration and hurt. "But Naomi, how can we let her protect Demetrius after everything he's done? We can't just stand by and let injustice prevail."I reached out and gently pla

Chapter 50As Reuben reassured me of his love and concern, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for causing him such worry. I knew I needed to reassure him that I was fine, even though the remnants of the nightmare still lingered in my mind."I'm sorry, Reuben," I whispered, my voice filled with sincerity. "I didn't mean to scare you. It was just a nightmare, and I think the exhaustion got the best of me. But I promise, I'm feeling much better now."Reuben's worried expression softened, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I'm glad to hear that, Naomi. Just remember, I'm here for you, no matter what. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask."His words warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for his unwavering support. I nodded, a small smile forming on my lips. "Thank you, Reuben. I truly appreciate your love and care."Reuben leaned in and placed a tender kiss on my forehead before pulling away. "Now, come on.

The next morning arrived all too quickly, and as I lay in bed, I could feel the weight of the impending training settling upon me. This time, it wasn't Martha who woke me up with her gentle touch, but rather a harsh voice that cut through the silence."Get up, Naomi! Training starts now!" the voice barked, jolting me awake.I blinked, trying to adjust to the sudden change in atmosphere. Standing before me was a stern-looking woman, her eyes filled with determination and a hint of impatience. She introduced herself as Lady Evelyn, my new instructor, and wasted no time in rushing me through my morning routine.Barely given a moment to gather my thoughts, I was dragged to the bath, where Lady Evelyn scrubbed me down with a roughness that left my skin tingling. There was no time for relaxation or reflection, only a sense of urgency and a constant push forward.Once I was dressed, Lady Evelyn led me through the palace corridors, her pace brisk and unforgiving. I struggled to keep up, my le

Reuben's anger was palpable as he processed the news about his mother's plan. His fists clenched tightly, and his brows furrowed in a mix of frustration and concern. He opened his mouth to speak, his voice filled with determination."I can't believe she would do this, Naomi. I need to confront her and put an end to her schemes," Reuben said, his voice laced with anger.But I knew that confronting the Queen at this moment would only complicate things further. I reached out and placed a gentle hand on Reuben's arm, trying to calm him down."Reuben, please listen to me," I pleaded, my voice filled with urgency. "Confronting your mother right now could make things worse. We need more information and evidence before we can take any action. We have an opportunity to expose her plan, but we must be careful."Reuben looked at me, his eyes searching mine for reassurance. After a moment, he let out a frustrated sigh and nodded reluctantly. "You're right, Naomi. We need to be strategic about thi

Reuben looked at me with a mix of confusion and concern. "Naomi, why would confronting your mother make me lose the throne?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts before answering. "Reuben, your mother's plan involves manipulating the court and tarnishing your reputation. If you confront her openly, it could give her the opportunity to turn the situation against you. We need to gather more evidence and expose her scheme without giving her a chance to twist the narrative."Reuben's eyes softened as he processed my words. He reached out and gently cupped my face, his touch sending shivers down my spine. "Naomi, I won't let anything or anyone come between us. My love for you is unwavering, and I am determined to protect both you and our future together, no matter the cost."His words filled my heart with warmth and reassurance. I leaned into his touch, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. "I believe in you, Reuben. Together

lThe weight of Demetrius's words hit me like a ton of bricks. My heart raced, and a sense of dread settled in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't believe what I had just revealed to him in my moment of desperation. I had unknowingly given him a weapon to use against me and Reuben."You can't be serious," I whispered, my voice trembling. "You wouldn't stoop so low as to deceive the Queen and claim my child as your own."Demetrius's smile widened, his eyes gleaming with malicious delight. "Oh, but I would, Naomi. I would do anything to secure my place on the throne. And what better way than to present the Queen with an heir, one that she believes is mine."Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the extent of Demetrius's wickedness. He was willing to manipulate everyone, even his own mother, just to fulfill his lust for power."But the Queen will see through your lies," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper. "She knows the truth, and she will never accept you as the rightful King."

"Look who's finally awake. Did you miss me, Naomi?"I shrank back, trying to create as much distance between us as possible. "Demetrius, please, let me go. I beg you. There's nothing between us. I want to be free."Demetrius chuckled darkly, his voice laced with contempt. "Oh, Naomi, you always did know how to make me laugh. But you see, you're mine now. And I won't let you slip away again."Tears welled up in my eyes as I pleaded with him, my voice trembling. "Please, Demetrius, I'm begging you. Think of the

Chapter 156Jade pleaded with me to reconsider my decision, I could feel my resolve weakening. His words echoed in my mind, reminding me of the love and happiness I had shared with Reuben. But deep down, I knew that returning to the palace was not the right path for me or my child."Jade, please understand," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "I can't go back. I can't live a life that isn't true to myself. And I can't bear to grow up in a world of duty and tradition."Jade's eyes filled with tears, and he reached out to gently touch my arm.

It had been two weeks since I left the palace and settled down in the bakery with my parents and sister, Salie. Life had taken a drastic turn, and while I missed Rueben dearly, I knew that leaving was the right decision. The weight of tradition and duty had become too heavy to bear, and I needed time and space to sort through my emotions.But lately, something unusual has been happening to me. I had been feeling nauseous in the mornings, and my appetite had changed. The thought crossed my mind that I might be pregnant, but it seemed impossible. Rueben and I had never been intimate more than once, and I couldn't fathom how it could have happened quickly.The morning sickness persisted, and I couldn't shake off the worry that gnawed at the back of my mind. I confided in Salie, who listened attentively and offered her support."Naomi, it's possible that it's just a stomach bug or something you ate," Salie reassured me, her voice filled with concern.

Surprised by my mother's statement, I turned to face her, confusion evident in my eyes. "Rachel?" I repeated, my voice laced with uncertainty. "But mother, I thought we agreed that it was best for Naomi and me to part ways."The Queen's expression softened, her eyes filled with a mix of understanding and determination. "Rueben, I understand your reasoning, and I respect your desire to do what is best for both yourself and Naomi. But we must also consider the implications of breaking the promise made by our forefathers. The council members and the people of our kingdom hold great importance to tradition and stability. By choosing Rachel as your queen, we can maintain that sense of continuity while also fostering a sense of unity among our people."I took a moment to absorb my mother's words, feeling torn between my own desires and the weight of responsibility placed upon me. The council members watched me expectantly, their eyes filled with a mix of hope and concern.But as I glanced a

Exhausted from the weight of my decisions, I decided to lie down for a quick nap. Sleep had eluded me in recent days, my mind consumed by thoughts of Naomi and the consequences of my actions. As I drifted off into slumber, I hoped for a moment of respite from my troubled thoughts.But even in my sleep, I found no solace. My dreams were plagued by visions of Naomi, her tear-streaked face filled with anger and rejection. I reached out to her, desperate to explain myself, but she turned away, her words echoing in my mind."No, Rueben. I can never forgive you. You have hurt me too deeply."My heart pounded in my chest as I jolted awake, my body covered in a cold sweat. The image of Naomi's tearful rejection lingered, haunting me even in the waking world. But as I blinked away the remnants of my dream, I realized I was not alone.Standing by my bedside was my younger brother, Jade, his concern evident in his eyes.

As I turned to walk away from the queen, my heart heavy with the weight of my decisions, her voice cut through the air like a knife."Think, Rueben," she sneered. "Think about what you've done to that poor girl. You took her innocence and claimed not to know her. Do you honestly believe she would ever accept you back? Even if you were to beg on your knees, she would never be your betrothed again. You have lost, Rueben. You have lost everything."Her words pierced my soul, each one a painful reminder of the irreversible damage I had caused. The realization hit me like a tidal wave, and I stumbled back, feeling as though the ground beneath me was crumbling away.No, it couldn't be true. I couldn't have lost Naomi forever. I couldn't bear the thought of a life without her by my side, of never hearing her laughter or seeing her smile again. But deep down, I knew that the queen was right. I had betrayed Naomi in the worst possible way, and there was no coming back from that.Tears welled u

As I closed the curtains, blocking out the view of Naomi's house, I made a vow to myself. I would do whatever it took to earn her forgiveness, to prove that I had changed. It wouldn't be easy, and there were no guarantees that she would ever accept me back into her life. But I couldn't live with the regret of losing her without trying.But as the days turned into weeks, my frustration and anger began to consume me. I couldn't shake the image of Naomi's smiling face, her laughter echoing in my mind. It haunted me, a constant reminder of what I had lost.Unable to contain my emotions any longer, I found myself smashing things around my apartment. The anger and regret boiled inside me, fueling my destructive actions.

A few days had passed since the intense encounter with the reporters, and I was determined to move forward with my life. I had made the decision to take my younger sister, Salie, out for a day of shopping, hoping to distract ourselves from the chaos that had consumed our lives.As we walked through the bustling shopping mall, I couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom. The weight of the world seemed to lift off my shoulders, replaced by a newfound lightness. Salie skipped ahead of me, her laughter filling the air, and for a moment, I allowed myself to forget about the pain and betrayal that had plagued me.But as we turned a corner, my heart skipped a beat.
