Engaged To The Royal Playboy Chapter Eighteen
The Maids carried on with their chitchat unaware of my presence, and I eagerly absorbed every word, yearning to uncover the truth behind Reuben's shattered love life. "Do you reckon she's even aware of the grand ball tomorrow?""Who are you referring to?""Who else could it be? The half-blooded soul dwelling under our roof. And as for the other woman, we both know her presence is a certainty. She doesn't require an invitation to glide through those doors. Funny, isn't it? She's destined to be queen, yet she fails to secure an invite to a mere ball." I heard one of them chuckle. "We both know this is nothing but a charade. It's pitiful to deceive the people, for the royal family cannot afford to break their promises. No matter the circumstances, they must uphold their word. But do you truly believe they would allow their King to wed a half-blooded being? Of course not. It's all a façade. So just sit back and watch as the truth unravels before our eyes. I can guarantee you that woman w

Martha stared at me in surprise as I smiled sheepishly at my words.“You want to ruin the princess ball?” Martha asked again to be sure she had heard me right.I nodded positively to her words, a smile still widely plastered on my face.“She won’t know what hits her,” I said to Martha who seemed a bit nervous at my words.“That won’t be safe and the queen might punish you again,” Martha murmured but I smiled before standing up from my bed and heading straight to the large mirror on the wall I stared at my reflection and smiled.“The maids were mocking me and trying to say I am not worth being called the queen in the future so I should at least step in there in grand style. All I need is an invitation but come to think of it I don’t need an explanation.” I said as an idea popped into my head.“What do you plan on doing?” I smiled at Martha’s question.“Of course it’s obvious, I am going to sneak in and if I get caught I will claim to be invited by Reuben.” I replied, "I know I am meant

Martha sighed loudly meaning she couldn’t convince me to stop, and I wasn’t planning to stop either.“Can you at least make me feel a little at ease by escorting you to the ball?” I smiled at how caring she was to me. She might only be a personal maid but she was the only one who was concerned about my well-being.“Thank you Martha and of course, you would be my escort into the ball, you know I can’t walk in there alone without some support.” I joked, I took my bath as usual and sat on the bed. Ever since I arrived at the palace this was the first time I was idle and I could understand why that was happening, it was clearly because of the ball.“I am sure even the slaves were invited,” I murmured in annoyance as I still couldn’t get over the fact that I was being neglected.“I wasn’t invited but I should tell you all the maids are so busy running everywhere in the palace,” Martha whispered. I subconsciously rolled my eyes at her words.“I am not to blame for wanting to do this,” I sai

I wore my heels back quickly as Martha covered my dress with a coat she had taken with her while jumping out of the window. “We still need to keep your dress a mystery.” She muttered before looking around to be sure no one noticed we had just escaped.“Let’s head to the party, we are already late.” She whispered and tip-toed in front of me and I followed behind quietly. We soon got close to the ball and honestly, I had never seen anything like it. It was so grand and filled with classy people but luckily for me I also picked up a grand dress to match the occasion.“They are so intimidating, I would be back my queen. I need to check and scan the party so we won’t step into the party as a novice.” Martha said.“That’s very wise of you Martha, go. I will wait here for you till your return.” I whispered to her as she nodded before rushing off.I turned around in fright as I feared Demetrius might just try to molest me in the dark, after a few minutes of waiting for Martha I soon sighted

The room was all echoing my name. That was all I could hear from left to right. Just as I planned to escape from this spotlight, Reuben wouldn’t let go of me… He continued to hold me tight but to my surprise, the queen didn’t make a move to come close to me in any way. I was expecting her to come and pull me out of the ball and maybe embarrass me with a slap but all she did was stare back at me with a frown and anytime the cameraman's attention was on her she smiled like everything was perfect.“Wow, I guess I made a really good pick..it is none other than my wife who ended up being my dancer on my birthday night,” Reuben said into the microphone which was handed to him after the dance ended, I looked up at him in surprise to why he was suddenly acting so nice to me but all he did was whisper to me.“Smile to the camera, the world is watching and I am more than sure you won’t like them to see a frown on your face.” After those words, I immediately had a wide smile on my face as I wave

I was soon tossed to an unknown person who was still the only one with his mask. I could feel his grin even with his mask on and it made me confused.“You look beautiful, you always look beautiful. I always told you that but tonight I mean it.” With those words I realized who it was, it was none other than Demetrius. I tried to pull away from him but he was holding on to me so tightly while Rueben stood still waiting for me to return to his arms, He noticed that I was being held too tightly and I was also clearly aware that he knew it was his brother and that was why he hadn’t come to pull me away.“Let go of me, Demetrius.” I whimpered hoping he would listen to me but he wasn’t going to.“Rueben can never love you and if you think marrying him would make you the queen then stop dreaming because I am still the rightful king.” He muttered to me before letting go of me harshly.“Naomi,” Rueben called as I walked towards him but instead of walking into his arms which were opened widely

And to my disbelief, Rueben seemed very happy with her words. He was seriously looking forward to having an intimate session with Rachel despite how he had just supported me earlier. My heart sank as I watched Rueben's attention shift towards Rachel. It was as if I didn't exist anymore, and it hurt more than she could bear. I couldn't understand how Rueben could be so happy and excited about meeting Rachel, especially after everything that had just happened. I tried to keep my composure, but deep down, I was terrified. I couldn't shake the feeling that Rueben might leave me for Rachel. The thought of losing him to someone else made my heart ache. Every time Rueben attempted to excuse himself to meet Rachel, I found a way to keep him by my side. I didn't want to appear clingy, but I couldn't bear the thought of him going to Rachel. I held onto his arm tightly, pretending to be scared of the crowd or feeling unwell, just to ensure that he wouldn't leave me alone. Rueben seemed confus

As I stepped out of the ballroom in search of Rueben, my heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't shake off the sinking feeling that something was wrong. The air felt heavy with anticipation as I made my way through the corridors, desperately hoping to find him.After what felt like an eternity of searching, I finally caught sight of Rueben. My heart skipped a beat, but the sight before me shattered it into a million pieces. There he was, with Rachel, wrapped in each other's arms, lost in an intimate session.The sight was like a knife to my heart. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was as if my worst fears had come true right before my eyes. I stood frozen, unable to tear my gaze away from the painful scene unfolding in front of me.Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. I tried to stifle my sobs, not wanting them to hear me. I felt a mix of anger, betrayal, and heartbreak coursing through my veins. How could Rueben do this to me? How could he betray the trust we had buil

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."

The events of the past few hours came rushing back to me, and I felt a wave of fear wash over me. Demetrius had captured me once again, and I was at his mercy.Before I could gather my thoughts, the sound of the door creaking open filled the room. Demetrius stepped in, his eyes filled with a sadistic gleam. My heart pounded in my chest as he approached me, his presence filling the room with a suffocating aura."Well, well, well," Demetrius sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "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. "Naomi, I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do. But please, consider the consequences of your decision. Reuben loves you, and he wants to be a part of your life."I nodded, my heart heavy with the weight of my choices. "I understand, Jade. But for now, I need to do what I believe is best for myself and Please, respect my decision and don't come back."Jade's expression was filled with a mix of sadness and understanding. He nodded slowly,

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. "But if you're really worried, maybe y

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. Jade had always been the calm and level-headed one, a stark contrast to my i

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. It was as if the physical pain could somehow alleviate the emotional turmoil I was experiencing.But no matter how many things I broke, the pain remained. I couldn't escape the reality of what I had done to Naomi, the hurt I had caused. It was a heavy burden to bear, and I f

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. There, standing in the middle of the mall, was Rueben, arm in arm with Rachel. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt a surge of anger and hurt wash over me. How dare he show his face after what he had done?Rueben's eyes met mine, and for a split second, I saw a flicker of remorse. He began to approach me, his lips parting to
