Amy took her bath while Bastian got dressed and waited for her outside the hotel. She wore a long and sexy black gown and applied a little makeup on her face before coming out of the room. She held a purse in her hand but Bastian told her to return it since she was going to spend most of her time dancing and having fun. Without remembering to take out her phone from the purse, she threw it on the bed and Bastian locked the door. He stared at her briefly and couldn't deny that she was very beautiful. However, he wanted her to regret plotting to marry him and the best way to do that was by making her life miserableBastian held her by the hand and led her toward their car which had been bought by the king for their convenience. They soon arrived at the club and when they went in, Amy looked around her in surprise and discomfort.When Bastian told her that they were going to a party, she did not expect that it was a place like this. People were lewdly dressed, there was extremely loud
The door was suddenly kicked open and three police officers barged in and saw the man who was in the process of assaulting Amy. He was instantly restrained and arrested while one of the officers took off his jacket and covered Amy who was already half-naked on the floor. Amy looked at them but she felt too weak to get up.The woman whom Amy had helped outside a few minutes ago ran into the house and held her as she cried. She did her best to console her while the officers arrested the man and took him to the police station. Only one officer stayed behind with them who was incidentally, the son of the woman whom Amy had helped.Amy was quickly rushed to the hospital and the woman stayed beside her all through. Amy kept staring at the woman as tears kept falling from her eyes. She was very weak and could barely make a sound when she arrived at the hospital. The doctor performed a series of tests on her and found out that she was given some sleeping tablets which was why she felt very w
Ivy wondered if Amy had been able to find her way back to the hotel. She knew that it would not be wise to call the number Amy had used in calling her because Amy had told her that she borrowed someone's phone to make the call.After waiting for a while, she finally dialed Amy's phone and heaved a sigh of relief when she picked up, "I was so worried about you my dear. I feel so relieved that you found your way back to your suite but are you okay? Why is your voice hoarse?"Amy cleared her throat and lied, "I was lying down that's why. I just sat upright now."Ivy smiled mischievously, "so tell me, dear, how is prince Bastian treating you over there? Did you both do the did last night?"Amy briefly recalled what she went through last night and laughed bitterly, "I was too tired from the journey so I just took my bath and fell asleep last night. Prince Bastian treats me well.Ivy sighed sadly, "I was hoping for good news from you but it turns out you suck. Don't let opportunities like t
Bastian broke the kiss and stared at Amy with a smile on his face while she kept staring at him. "My beloved princess, you must be tired after getting a massage, I'll feed you, okay?"Bastian picked up the spoon and began to feed Amy. She opened her mouth at his direction and began to eat. She was still staring at him in surprise while tears began to fall from her eyes.Bastian frowned, "I've told you that I don't like this, seeing you this way breaks my heart." He wiped the tears from her eyes, "don't do this again, okay?"Amy nodded her head. She was wondering if Bastian was the same man she had married. She did not believe what was going on in front of her because she had learned firsthand about the dangers of trusting him. However, she could not help but feel emotional and cry, if her married life were truly like this and Bastian loved her as much as he was displaying, wouldn't she be the happiest person in the world?"Bastian kept feeding her slowly until she shook her head and s
Bastian stared at Amy angrily and circled his hand around her neck, "who the fuck do you think you are? Does it look like I am giving you a choice?"Amy held his hand as she struggled to breathe. She began to cry as she thought that Bastian was going to kill her. She eventually let go of his hand before he pushed her backward causing her to lay back on the bed. Amy closed her eyes and held her neck which was now hurting.She knew that Bastian had something evil planned for her and this time, she was determined to not fall into his trap. She stared at him weakly and said, "if you force me to go with you, I will tell the queen the whole truth about how you have been treating me."Bastian regarded her for a while and angrily walked out of the room. When he got back to his room, he got a call from Ann and answered it, she said, "baby, my flight got delayed and I'm about to leave now. I just wanted to inform you that I won't be going to the place. I'd rather go home because the palace would
Bastian had thoroughly enjoyed last night with Freya. She was such a delightful girl and the thought of having more of her during the next few days made him feel excited.He loved sleeping at night with a woman beside him and thought of asking Freya to spend the night with him but he controlled himself. One of her friends, Peyton, was so beautiful and sexy, she had curves in all the right places and Bastian couldn't deny that he would have rather chosen her if he had met all three of them the first time.He didn't regret Freya though but he didn't want her to have access to his room. He planned on trying his luck with Peyton. Before leaving, he would love to taste the sweetness between her legs and there was a way she looked at him that made him believe he actually stood a chance with her, he just needed to play his cards right.Freya came out of her hotel room in the morning to go for a jog but Ann deliberately bumped into her just outside the hotel.Freya almost fell backward from t
When Amy got into the car, she noticed that the officer was smiling at her and smiled back before saying, "thank you so much for picking me up. I'm really sorry to have troubled you.""There's no need to thank me," he replied. "My mum likes you and that's good enough for me, besides I'm on leave this week. My girlfriend who is presently out of the country will be back in two days and I plan to use the opportunity to propose to her and see her parents.""Wow," that is amazing, congratulations. Your girlfriend is lucky."The officer smiled, "I guess she is."As she stared at the officer, Amy could tell that he loved his girlfriend and was committed to her. She wished she had been that lucky as well.Seeing that she was now quiet, the officer said, "I know what you are going through because my mum told me about it. I'm sorry about that and whoever your husband is, he certainly has some nuts loose to be acting the way he does.""Amy laughed, "yes he definitely does."They soon arrived at
Amy felt an adrenaline rush when she got on a horse. She screamed happily as the horse moved slowly while the officer followed by the side to ensure that she did not sustain any injury.Bastian's day got ruined as he spent most of his time staring at Amy who did not notice him. After riding for a while, Amy came down and received the pictures the photographer had taken. She was so happy that she could not stop thanking the officer.His mum called right at that moment and said that dinner was ready so they strolled out of the beach. When Bastian had seen Amy laughing, he realized that she had never shown that much happiness around him before.His pride felt wounded and he told himself that someday, he was going to teach her a lesson for being such a cheap woman. Amy who had no idea that Bastian had even gone to the beach, bought a headphone for herself and decided that whenever she was bored, she would put them over her ears and listen to some music.When she arrived at Beatrice's hous
A few hours earlier, Ann left James at the club saying, "Today, I will put an end to my biggest rival." She went straight to Amy's house and checked her door, but it was locked. She came out and waited around, having a feeling that wherever Amy went, she would come back.After making her findings, she had learned that Amy had not returned to the palace. This made her hopeful that she was going to get Amy.Her ex-boyfriend, James, had refused to help her get rid of Amy because he said he did not want to get involved in any offense related to the royal household. They had so much money, and he was not ready to live a life on the run.However, he taught Ann how to shoot a gun for a price. Now that she had enough confidence, she came to carry out her mission. She disguised herself by putting on a t-shirt, trousers, and a face cap. She stood by a tree, partially concealed.To her left, there was a street. Her plan was to run through the street after carrying out her plans. She waited until
The other three friends of Amy's brother were afraid, unlike him and the one with the knife. They had not expected that Bastian would show up, and knowing that he was a prince, they believed that there would be guards around. So, one of them said to John, "Listen, I think we should back off now. I mean, he's a prince, and you know that attacking a royal." "Shut up," John snapped at him, "Stop being a scaredy-cat. He might be a prince, but he's alone." The other friend holding the knife said, "Oh, you all think we're joking here." He put the knife around Amy's neck. However, Bastian said, "There's no need for all that. My hands are already raised, and I'm out of the way. Go ahead and do what you want, but do not harm my wife." John smiled, "He's a coward after all, but a sensible one. Let's go."Amy was in front with John's friend pointing a knife at her neck while he walked behind her. John and all the other three friends followed. Just as they walked out of the street, Bastian
Mabel and Armstrong came out of his mother's house holding hands."That went well," he said to her. She smiled. "Yes, your mom is such a sweetheart." He spun her around so she could face him. "What are you doing, Armstrong? We're still in your mom's compound. She can see us at any time." "Relax, she's busy and she thinks we're gone. Mabel, in three weeks, you're going to be my wife. Do you know that?" Mabel laughed. "Of course, I know that. I mean, we picked the date together." "I know," Armstrong said. "It's a dream come true, my love. It seems like just yesterday when I was wishing that you would look at me, not as a friend but as the man who loves you the most in this world.I am so excited about spending the rest of my life with you. I love you, Mabel.""I love you, Arms" Mabel replied and hugged him.Armstong caressed her cheeks and said, "We can only go for our honeymoon a week after the wedding because of your exams, but I'm just so worried that with everything that is ha
Ivy's parents, as well as Mrs. Harlow, all sat around her. They were surprised at the news they had received. When Ivy's mother arrived and heard from Charles what Raya had done, she quickly informed Mrs. Harlow, who rushed down with her husband. They all found it difficult to believe that the same person whom they saw as an ally was their enemy, the one who had taken their daughter away from them. They kept staring at Ivy, thinking that if she hadn't been fortunate to react when she did, Raya would've successfully killed her, and no one would've known that she was the culprit.Charles came into the room at this time. He had a guilty expression on his face as he sat on the bed. He said, "The police have taken her away, and, she's in a wheelchair because she's paralyzed. The only thing she can do is speak. She can barely move.""I can't believe this was what she was planning to do to Ivy," Ivy's father said.Charles replied, "No, she wanted to kill Ivy. It only had that effect on h
Ann went back to the club to meet James who had helped her kidnap Mabel. The moment she saw him, she ran into his arms and began to cry, "Now my mom is gone. I have no chance of ever becoming the queen. My heart is heavy. Your men are all useless. How could all four of them lose Mabel? I was this close, I was this close to getting what I wanted, but they ruined it all for me. How could you do this to me? You should've given me more capable men.""What are you talking about?" he asked. "Don't say such things. Haven't I done enough to assist you? It seems you do not appreciate my efforts. How is it my fault that your mom got arrested? Why did you take her into the palace when you knew your plan hadn't been successful? That was a very wrong move, and you didn't even tell me about it. I would've given you proper advice.""My mom so badly wanted to go back to the palace, so I had no choice, I just wanted her to be happy. I've been doing all this for my mom but where is she now? She's in
In the past few days, Charles had been coming to the hospital to feed Ivy and spend time with her. Despite the fact that she did not respond to anything he said but just sat down staring at him, he always spoke to her, telling her about his day and how things went. Raya came there almost every day pretending that she was giving him support, but what she was doing was looking for an opportunity to make sure she carried out her plans completely. Most times, Ivy's parents also came, stayed with her, and left, but Charles was always there with her. His mom had also come to the hospital to spend some time with them. He thought of reaching out to Amy to tell her about Ivy's condition, but he decided not to. Ivy had told him that Amy was going through so much, so he did not want to add to it. As he sat by her bed staring at her, he said, "Do not worry, Ivy. I believe that someday or very soon, you will get back on your feet, and you'll go back to the Ivy I've come to know." Right at th
Armstrong stared at Mabel in surprise and walked closer to her as she laid on the ground. The men rushed towards him, but in anger, he beat them thoroughly until they all became unconscious. Afterward, he lifted Mabel and ran out of the building, heading toward his car.When he got to the car, he placed her in the passenger seat and put on the seatbelt before getting into the driver's seat to drive her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Amy sat on the couch in her bedroom, watching as Bastian sat on the bed with Ann beside him. He unzipped the back of Ann's gown and took it off, leaving her with nothing but her bra and panties. His eyes went towards Amy, who was staring intently at him, and when their eyes met, she smiled.Amy was afraid that if she showed any other emotion, Bastian would change his mind and everything would be ruined. So she pretended to be happy about it. Bastian took his attention back to Ann. He cupped her face and crashed his lips against hers. He pushed her towards
Amy came down from the taxi in front of her street and ran into the house. When she rushed in, however, she saw Maria sitting in a chair, and Armstrong was sitting in another chair. They both got up and stared at her. Amy was already crying, and her eyes were very red. She also looked exhausted and had dark circles under her eyes. The moment Armstrong looked at her, he knew that she was going through a lot. She ran to Maria and hugged her."I'm so sorry, Maria. I'm so sorry. Please, don't ever think of suicide again." Maria stared at her in surprise, realizing that what Armstrong had said was the truth. Out of anger, she had said so many bad things about Amy, and now she regretted them. "I'm sorry too," Maria replied. "Please, Amy, do not hide the truth anymore. Tell us, tell Armstrong so he can help our sister.""What are you talking about?" Amy asked. She turned to stare at Armstrong. "I don't understand what she is saying. I came here because Maria said she wanted to end her li
While she was being locked up, Mabel thought about her loved ones and felt very sad. When she thought about what Amy might be going through, she began to cry."I don't know what Ann is making you do," she said to herself. "I'm sorry, Amy. Because of me, you must be suffering over there. I'm sorry, Armstrong because I know you must miss me so much. We were supposed to go see your mom in two days, but now I know you'd be very depressed. I'm sorry, Maria. You always act strong, but at this moment, I know you'd be the one who'll cry the most. I don't know why this had to happen to me?" She laid on the floor and cried until she got tired.Meanwhile, at this time, Armstrong, who had not gotten any reasonable news from the police and the private investigators he had sent, also sat at home sadly thinking about Mabel. He couldn't go to work or do anything else. He kept thinking about where Mabel could be or who it was that was keeping her.In the evening, Ann, who had moved into the palace,
