Princess Megan rushed down to Damon's chambers after receiving unsettling news from her healer. Despite the information being plausible, she found it difficult to accept. She was aware of her brother's intimate relationship with Belinda, leaving a strong likelihood that he was the father of her unborn child.Witnessing Megan's distressed appearance as she approached Damon's chamber, the guards swiftly opened the door, granting her unhindered access."Damon!" she called out, causing Damon to startle awake, his eyes wide open in response to Megan's cry."What? What's the matter?" he asked, hastily throwing off the duvet and hurrying towards Megan, who was also nearing him."Something significant has occurred! It's not entirely negative, but the timing isn't ideal... I..." Megan stuttered, struggling to catch her breath."Megan, take a breath..." Damon gently grasped her shoulders, locking eyes with her. Gradually, her restlessness subsided, and he nodded. "Now, please tell me what hap
“Mother?” Damon called out for his mother, rushing towards her with confusion evident on his face. However, his words were abruptly cut off by a forceful slap from Queen Marlena, conveying her disbelief and anger towards him."Mother, I understand you're angry, but please try to calm down," Damon pleaded, mindful of not scaring Belinda further with the tense situation."Calm down?! You impregnated a slave! A monstrous act!" She shouted, shoving him aside and storming towards Belinda, who stood frozen in fear."You must have hypnotized him! Cast a spell on him!" Queen Marlena accused, her hand raised to strike Belinda, but Damon intervened just in time, shielding her from harm. Queen Marlena's eyes widened in shock as Damon positioned himself between her and Belinda."I won't allow you to harm her, mother. If anyone should be punished, it's me," he asserted firmly.Marlena's eyes remained wide in astonishment at her son's unexpected reaction as she stepped back from him."You've comple
Megan stormed into Yolanda’s room and met her lying on her bed. Immediately Megan got in, Yolanda sprang to her feet. “Megan…” “What did you do, Yolanda?” Megan interjected her, causing her to furrow her brows. “I don’t understand you, Megan. What’s going on?” “Everyone knows about Belinda’s pregnancy. Apart from my healer and Damon, only two of us were aware. And I’m very sure I kept my mouth shut! Who did you tell?” Megan asked, boiling in anger. Yolanda raised her eyebrows and shook her head in disbelief. “Are you accusing me right now, Megan? The secret got leaked and I’m the one you accuse?” “Because I just went to my healer and she didn’t say a word to anyone.” “And then I did? Megan, I never mentioned it to anyone.” “And how sure am I that you’re telling the truth?” Megan further inquired, and Yolanda scoffed, shaking her head. “Did your doctor have to prove to you that she’s innocent? Or I’m the only one that has to prove it to you? Because I once betrayed you doesn’t
Isla headed towards the palace with the intention of conversing with the queen and discovering the next course of action. She felt a sense of accomplishment for completing the task assigned to her by the queen flawlessly.‘Creating these scars on my face wasn’t a waste after all.’ She said to herself as she ran her fingers through the fainting scars on her face. *Flashback*Isla sat outside her chamber early in the morning, contemplating different ways to disrupt Belinda's stay in their kingdom. At that moment, she observed Yolanda and Princess Megan walking past her, engrossed in conversation while holding hands. Isla's curiosity was piqued, prompting her to inquire about their close bond.Quickly springing to her feet, Isla stealthily trailed behind them, ensuring she remained unnoticed. They eventually made their way to the cell, leading Isla to realize that they were visiting Belinda. Eager to gather the latest information, Isla cleverly positioned herself behind a tree, grant
Damon and Mr. Theron entered the library, wearing smiles as they greeted each other. "You seem quite happy, Prince Damon," Mr. Theron remarked, and Damon chuckled. "Well, who wouldn't be? I never thought my father would come to accept my relationship with Belinda. It's a relief that he finally understands that she's the only woman for me," Damon replied, and Mr. Theron nodded with a faint smile. "Please, have a seat, Damon," Mr. Theron gestured towards the chair in front of him. "Thank you. But why did you assist me in talking to my father, Mr. Theron?" Damon inquired, smiling in return. "Because I know how deeply you love her, and I also recognize the value Belinda can bring to our cause, Damon. I simply wanted your father to see the positive aspects rather than the negative. Fortunately, the positives far outweigh the negatives," he responded, and Damon chuckled in agreement. "Thank you, Mr. Theron. I'm truly overjoyed." "And that's precisely why I've brought wine! For both o
"Arrrghhh!" Belinda clutched her chest, experiencing an intense pain unlike any she had felt before. It felt as though she had become disconnected from something or someone she cherished deeply, causing her heart to fracture within her chest. Her face flushed red, and her eyes rolled back as she collapsed onto the bed, desperately attempting to alleviate the overwhelming pain.Standing by the bed, the maids observed her struggle, hesitant to approach due to the head maid's warning not to intervene. "Leave her be until the arrival of the King and Queen," the head maid instructed, and the others nodded in agreement.As Belinda grappled with the excruciating pain coursing through her body, the chamber door swung open. King Talos and Marlena entered, their attention immediately drawn to the tearful Belinda. "Is everything prepared now?" inquired Marlena, and the maids nodded in response."Yes," replied the head maid, and they all bowed. "Excellent. Now, summon the guards to remove her f
Belinda slowly opened her eyes as the sun's hot rays touched her face. She winced, feeling a throbbing pain at the back of her head as she tried to shield herself from the sun. Using her hand to block the rays, she fully opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings as she sat up.She found herself in an isolated place, far away from civilization. The events of the previous night rushed back to her instantly—the night she was forcefully expelled from the palace, treated like an unwanted stray.Her eyes welled up with tears, and a surge of emotions overcame her. She held the back of her aching head and struggled to stand up, leaning against the tree beside her for support.As she rose to her feet, she instinctively placed her palm over her belly, feeling through the fabric of her garment. Through tearful eyes, she murmured, "I won't give up on you, my love. No matter what they try, I'll protect you. We'll be reunited with your father, and we'll find happiness once again."Beside her, t
Queen Marlena asked the maids to prepare breakfast for her, Miss Maisie and Damon. She could not contain the joy of having gotten rid of Belinda for good. The maids finished setting up breakfast in Queen Marlena’s room, and she invited Damon and Maisie in. “Welcome.” She uttered, with a large grin, sitting behind the table. Maisie looked at Damon and found him grinning too. She couldn’t help but ask herself what had changed. All she knew was that the queen put a call out to her that she should come and claim what was rightfully hers…Damon. At first, she was scared that she'd have to face Belinda again, but she summoned courage since it was the queen that summoned her. “Thank you, Queen Marlena.” Maisie responded, as she sat on the chair. Damon also settled next to her, staring at the meals on the table. “What are we celebrating?” He asked, furrowing his brows. “What is there not to celebrate, hun?” Marlena responded, and he raised his eyebrows. “Please don't tell me this is a
After 3 months~ Damon kept pacing in front of the room where Belinda was to conceive. His heart was thumping violently against his chest. He prayed silently that Belinda and their baby were going to be okay. King Talos and Queen Marlena also stood not so far from the room, waiting in anticipation. After the wedding ceremony, Prince Damon and Belinda became the talk of the kingdom. Everyone had their own parts to say about what happened, but Damon didn’t care. He wasn’t ready to lose Belinda again. He approached his parents after the wedding ceremony, and he told them that if they wanted their lineage to continue ruling, they had to want what he wanted. He went on to explain all the evil that Maisie had once done and that he was never going to settle down with such a woman. He told them the only way he would forgive them for erasing all memories of his wife was if they accepted her in the palace. After thinking about it, his parents finally decided to accept Belinda as their da
Everyone gathered in the large hall, and in front of them stood the Monk, Damon and Maisie. The Priest read out words from the scroll to repeat. Maisie was the happiest woman on earth, while Damon on the other hand couldn’t stop worrying about why Megan was yet to get to his marriage ceremony. Damon never felt any surge of happiness, but he just had to do it for his parents, the king and queen. “We promise in front of every kind of us present today, to cherish our bond and love each other till eternity.” The monk uttered, waiting for them to repeat these words. Maisie opened her mouth to speak, but realized that Damon was being hesitant again. All the words they were asked to repeat seemed like a burden to him. It was more like he was forced to say these words. She didn’t care, because what she had always wanted was right before her now, and there was no turning back. “Please repeat after me.” Damon heard the voice of the monk from a distance, throwing him back to reality once m
Getting to the palace, Megan led Clara and Belinda in through the back door, sneaking them in. The palace was so busy with the preparations for the Prince’s wedding that they hardly noticed their entry. “Where are we going now?” Clara asked, turning to look at Megan. They hid behind a wall; watching how the people walked to and fro. “We need to get to Mr. Theron, I believe he can help us.” She suggested, causing Belinda’s eyes to widen. “What? You just told us Mr. Theron was the one that placed a spell on Damon and made him reject and forget me. Why would he help me now?” Belinda asked. “I have spoken to him, okay? He has always regretted what he did, and he told me he had to because of my father. But now, he’s ready to do anything because he doesn’t want to be the one to change fate. So he’ll help. I promise.” Megan reassured them. Belinda and Clara exchanged looks and nodded at each other. “So what do we do now?” Clara further asked. “You two need disguises. I have some in m
~Six Months Later~ While Belinda sat in her room, rubbing her big belly bump, Clara rushed into her room. The loud noise caused Belinda to jolt and turn to the door. “Belinda!” Clara called, panting seriously. Belinda hastily stood up in fear and approached her. “What’s wrong, Clara? What’s happening?” She asked fearfully. “I… I have bad news! And there are two of them. But one of them is very urgent! We need to get out of here, right now!” She uttered, causing Belinda to shake her head. “Why? Talk to me? Where is Agatha? And everyone?” “Agatha sent me to you, and told me to take you somewhere sef. Cephas’ pack has found us, and there is going to be a war soon. Though we would defeat them, we need to keep you safe.” She uttered, rushing to Belinda’s closet and picking a big jacket and wrapper. “But I don’t want to leave. Nothing is going to happen to me. What if Cephas dies in the process? I don’t want to leave without watching him get the death he deserves.” Belinda answered.
Agatha and Clara took Belinda to the cage where they had locked Alpha Cephas. He sat on the floor, his hands over his knees and his head bowed. The clothes he had on were stained with his dried blood. He tried putting up a fight with Agatha and one of the men in the pack, and he ended up getting brutally wounded. “There he is.” Agatha uttered, and Cephas raised his head and looked up to see Belinda standing in front of him. He clenched his jaws angrily as he stared at her. He just wanted to get rid of her once and for all but he kept failing and getting himself humiliated. He hated her even more because of this. Belinda stared at him speechlessly with lots of thought going through her head. A part of her wanted to pounce on him and kill him right away, while the other part wanted to make him suffer slowly until he died. “What should we do about him? If you want us to eliminate him right away, we can, Belinda. He hurt one of us and we don’t take that lightly. He should be dead, b
Belinda’s eyes slowly opened as she felt the hot sun rays hit her face. She moaned as her consciousness caused a throbbing pain around her neck. “She’s awake! She’s awake!” The loud voice pierced her ears like they were going to destroy her eardrums. “Argh.” She groaned, covering her ears tightly with her hands. She slowly opened her eyes, and with her blurry vision, she tried to recognize where she laid. The last thing she remembered was somebody trying to strangle her to death on a rock, in the woods. “Where am I?” The question came in her head as she reached for her neck, slowly running her fingers through it. But then she found out that something was tied round her neck too. She creased her eyebrows, touching the bandage around her neck and finally looked up to see two women staring at her. One of them looked very young, while the other woman was pretty old. “How are you, dear?” The elderly woman asked, and Belinda furrowed her brows. They didn’t seem familiar to her. “Wher
