Mabel unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing, revealing her almost naked body to Armstrong's hungry eyes as the shirt landed on the ground.His hands moved lower to her breasts and he cupped them gently. He looked into her eyes again and she smiled at him. His lips covered the tips of her breasts as she threw her head back and moaned in pleasure. "I love you," he breathed before crashing his lips on hers. Mabel circled his neck with her hands as waves of desire rippled through her.He lifted her and took her back to the room, placing her on the bed. She stared at him, admiring his body and his hard length as he stood beside the bed and took his sweet time drinking in her beauty.When he was satisfied. He got on the bed and slowly pulled down her panties. His hand gently rubbed her folds before it was replaced by his mouth.Mabel clutched his hair as she moaned in pleasure and told him how much she enjoyed what he was doing.He got on her body and covered her neck with kisses as she p
Amy sat across from Mabel, and they both stared at each other while Mabel waited for her to give her the gist she was waiting for. Amy said, "Well, there's not much to tell. I mean, you are the one who should be telling me what I want to know.""Yeah, but what happened over there in Milan?" Mabel asked."Nothing much," Amy replied. "Just as I told you I was going to do, I sold off everything I had bought." "You look kinda sad," Mabel pointed out. "I may be wrong though. "Well, I guess it's the whole issue with Bastian," Amy replied. "Well, I'm surprised he hasn't called me in three days, perhaps he has finally given up, which is good because once he divorces me, I can move on with my life and go to school on my terms. Okay, that's by the way. Bastian is irrelevant. Congratulations, girl, tell me how everything went."Mabel was all smiles as she narrated to Amy how Armstrong surprised her by proposing to her, and Amy just sat down listening to her happily. "Mabel, you're so lucky.
Ivy spent the next few days bonding with her dad and everyone else. She was having the time of her life since both her dad and Mrs. Harlow showed her so much love, but it wasn't the same in Charles' house. Each time she went there, she'd get fed up and want to leave because of Raya. She came to the house virtually every day and wouldn't stop talking about Hannah. Ivy didn't like her because she acted so possessive, as though she owned Charles. Raya even offered to become Ivy's best friend, but Ivy said, "No, I already have a best friend." Raya acted offended by it, but Ivy couldn't care less. Charles, on the other hand, was nice. He always tried to change the conversation each time Raya brought up Hannah, but Ivy wished he'd tell Raya to give them some privacy. She'd come to the house in the morning and stay till evening, making it impossible for them to spend quality time together. It had been three days, and Ivy hadn't seen Charles because the last time she was there, she barely
Mabel placed her arms by her waist and stared condescendingly at Bastian, who was standing below her. "I think Amy made it pretty clear that she wants nothing to do with you." "I'm not leaving here until Amy comes out to see me," Bastian replied. Mabel smiled. "In that case, be my guest." After that, she shut the door and went inside. Bastian sat on the veranda waiting for Amy to come out. The sun was already shining, making him uncomfortable, especially since he was wearing a shirt and a jacket. He took off the jacket and held it in his hand, telling himself that he wouldn't leave until Amy came out.That morning, the people he had asked to keep an eye on Amy had informed him that she had traveled back. After realizing that she was back home, he was so happy. It was going to be much easier for him to woo her and get her back because her house wasn't so far away from the palace. Moving to another town just to try and convince her hadn't been easy because he wasn't really familiar
Bastian walked toward Amy and turned her so she could look at him. He moved closer to her and cupped her cheeks, "Why, Amy? Why won't you give me another chance?" However, Amy pushed him away, "Get dressed and get the hell out of my house, now Bastian. Do not get any wrong ideas. I only let you in because I did not want you to make a fool of yourself outside. Now you've used the toilet and the bathroom, please leave. Do not take my kindness for granted."Bastian surprised Amy by going on his knees. He said, "Listen, Amy. I promise you that I am innocent. I was set up. I didn't do anything with Tina. It was a set-up by Ann, and I've dealt with her for doing that. I wanted to deal with Tina as well, but I had to hold back because she's related to you. If you give your consent, I will deal with her as well. I can make her miserable for the rest of her life. Amy, I never touched her, I swear on my life. I have never loved anyone but you. Please give me another chance. I promise to do t
Ivy, Charles, and Raya all went hiking as they had planned. Raya acted really nicely, doing her best to boost Ivy's morale and make her comfortable as the latter complained that she was tired of walking. When they got closer to a cliff, Ivy said she was very tired and thirsty, and Charles offered to go back to their car and get water for Ivy because she had exhausted the one she had. After Charles left, Raya got up and moved over to the edge of the cliff. She said, "Wow, I can't believe there's water down there, so much water. Ivy, come and take a look." Ivy, who was already tired, said, "Please, I'm so tired. I don't have the strength for that.""Come on, this isn't something you'd want to miss," Raya said. At Raya's insistence, Ivy got up and tiredly walked to the edge of the cliff. Just as she turned her back on Raya, the latter pushed her off. Ivy struggled and hung onto a pole hanging out on the edge of the cliff. She was staring at Raya, her eyes displaying fear and surpris
Amy sat across from Maria, staring at her as she talked nonstop. However, Amy's mind was occupied; she had no interest in what Maria was saying as she kept thinking about how Bastian had begged her, kissed her, and made love to her. "So what do you think?" Maria asked bringing back her attention. "About what?" Amy asked. "About what I said," Maria replied. Amy said, "Oh, well, I think it's a good idea. It makes sense." "Really? Yay!" Maria screamed. "I should call him now." "Call who?" Amy asked. "My boyfriend, duh. I'll just tell him to let his brother know that you're interested in dating him too." As Maria took her phone to dial the number, Amy got up and knocked her on the head. "Don't be silly. What is wrong with you? Don't you know I'm still married to Bastian?" "But you're getting divorced," Maria said feeling aggrieved. "Besides, you just told me that it's okay. Why are you overreacting? You know I just want you to be happy, and I'm doing everything for your own good,
At the hospital, Charles sat by Ivy's bedside. She had not regained consciousness since he rescued her and brought her to the hospital. As he stared at her body, he was reminded of when he had also seen Hannah's dead body. He held Ivy's hands and began to cry. Raya, who had been standing outside, came in at this point and hugged him from behind. "I can't lose Ivy," he cried. "I can't lose her, Raya. This is all my fault. Raya, I don't think I can live without Ivy. If I lose her, then I cannot live anymore.""Do not say that," Raya replied. "Ivy will get well, okay? She will wake up for your sake."Right at this point, Ivy's parents, including Mrs. Harold, arrived. They all stared at her condition in surprise. Her mom broke down and began to cry, while Mrs. Harold tried to comfort her. Mr. Harold stood by her bedside and turned his face to look at Charles, who was crying. "This is all my fault," Charles kept saying. "I shouldn't have taken her, I shouldn't have let her come with me
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,
