The walk to where Maggie and Jeremy stood seemed longer to Janice. She panted and groaned as her legs ached.

She couldn't remember the last time she had walked a distance as long as that. Even though she could see the couple from where she was, it was still a long walk for her due to the condition she was in.

“Are you alright?” Jules stared at her as she halted. His brows creased whilst watching her caress her tummy in the pale pink mid-length gown she donned.

“I'm fine. I think I feel the baby kick.” She muttered, with a grin.

“Do you want to feel it too?”

Jules' face lit up at the invitation. He didn't care if they were in a public or not. He hadn't felt the baby kicking before. He nodded and strode to her side, then placed his hand on her bump, but felt nothing.

“I feel nothing. Perhaps, it stopped?” He let out a disappointed sigh.

“Oh! Maybe. You can feel it next time.” Janice said.

“I believe so.” He affirmed, extending his hand to her.

    The next day, Maggie darted into Janice's bathroom whilst discussing some of the weird cravings she often had. She was able to lift the toilet lid on time before the vomit flew out of her mouth. She groaned, then dipped her head into the clean toilet, retching more. Maggie wrinkled her nose and patted her tummy before attempting to stand to her feet. She glanced towards the opened door, expecting to see Janice but was stunned to see her maid instead. "My Lady!" Grace exclaimed, rushing to lift her. "Are you alright?" "Of course, I am," Maggie murmured. Her head reeled and her mouth tasted sour like she had been eating limes. Despite the heaviness in her head, she took a step forward as soon as Grace released her hand. But, it didn't stop the dizziness she was feeling. "I just need to…" "Oh!" Grace gripped her hand before she could swoon. "You need to rest, My Lady!" "Grace," The duo swirled and noticed Janice was in the doorway. "Prepare a warm tea for the duchess and me." J

    "You are lying Madame, I know that," Jules murmured. "It's obvious I'm talking about my baby. Who else is pregnant if not me?" Janice asked him as he was scrutinizing her. Jules shrugged but said nothing. "Well," Jeremy began. He walked towards the chair Maggie was in and sat on it. He tucked a strand of hair that had slipped out of the ponytail she held it in beneath her ear. Jules did the same, sitting beside Janice before clutching her hands. "I saw the doctor at the entrance and I was curious who was sick. But, mother is happy which is confusing." Jeremy grimaced. He recalled going to meet her to ask what the good news was. But, she had refused to tell him any. Not even Jules whom he thought was her favourite son. "Oh, gods," Maggie mumbled, shaking her head. "Did she say anything to you?" "She didn't. Was she supposed to say something?" Jeremy inquired, creasing his brows. "I-I…" Maggie stammered. "She wasn't," Janice said hastily as she noticed Maggie was about to tell

    "I can't believe Jeremy is happy he'll be a dad," Maggie murmured. "I told you, you need not worry," Janice said. "Even though I'm happy, I think it will be a disaster." "It won't," Janice said firmly. "The baby is going to have lovely parents. I don't know why you think you would behave like your parents." Maggie shrugged. "It isn't my fault I think about their failed parenting all the time. They never made me feel loved. So, it is natural for me to think I will end up that way since I have their blood running through my veins." "You won't." Janice asserted, gripping her clenched hands. "We are here to assist you." With a sigh, Maggie nodded. "As I said, I am happy I am going to be a mother. But I'm somewhat scared. I know with Jeremy by my side, it will be a little easier." "Don't forget you have Jules and me." Janice squeezed her hand. "Of course, I have you. Maggie affirmed, then grimaced. "I don't know about your husband. He acts scary, and I don't think he would like to b

    Grace entered a while later after Jules left. She placed a huge tray filled with food on a small table at the side of the nightstand and hoisted it on the bed near the two women. She straightened whilst waiting for an order from them. "That is all, Grace," Janice said with a smile. She nodded with a smile as well and left the room. "This is a feast!" Maggie exclaimed, eyeing the tray. "Can you finish this?" "Of course," Janice said. "I have a human living inside me. Practically, I am eating for two. But I can share if you want." She grinned whilst eyeing the incredulous look on Maggie's face. "I don't think I can eat all this when I get to your stage." She swept her eyes over the food before glancing at Janice. "If Jeremy is anything like Jules, I know you would eat far more than this," Janice replied. "Jules always wants to stuff me with any chance he gets." "I hope Jeremy won't be that way because I will kill him." Janice giggled at the threat that poured out of her mouth.

    "Welcome home, Madame." Jules greeted. Janice lurched and let out a loud screech as he appeared in front of her. She had wanted to sneak in and had forgotten to watch where she was going after looking from her back to the left and right. "Goodness, sire! You gave me the fright." She scowled, clutching her still-racing heart."You will give me a heart attack one day if you keep appearing in front of me unannounced," Janice grumbled, striding into the room. "I believe you enjoyed your day out today?" Jules asked, ignoring what she said."I did." She affirmed. She lifted her hair from her neck and attempted to pull down her zip. Janice groaned whilst stretching her hand to her back more. "Let me." Jules offered as he saw her struggling with it. He rose from where he sat and walked towards the mirror. That instant he stood at her back, Janice noticed he wore nothing except a small towel wrapped around his waist. Her eyes met his in the mirror as his hand caressed her back whilst sli

    Janice yelped as she came awake.She was woken by someone prodding her side and nudging her face with a wet cloth. Her eyelashes flutter whilst trying to adjust to the bright light in the room. She wondered why it was this bright in the morning and why the blurry figure of Jules was hovering above her head. She furrowed her brows as her eyes got accustomed to the room lighting. And then she noticed it wasn't Jules alone that was watching her. The other wasn't a human but a four-legged being. Janice shrieked and almost leapt out of bed as it came down on her. "Jules!" "I thought you would like it." He shrugged, picking up the cutest brown-eyed puppy she had ever seen. It looked like a golden retriever, or maybe she was wrong because she couldn't tell the breed of most dogs, and she tended to mix them up all the time. The puppy whined and struggled to get out of his grasp. "Should I take it back?" He asked, caressing the white and brown fur. The puppy stopped struggling, and it

    "Your majesty," Grace greeted as she breezed into the room with a laundry basket on her hip.Janice glimpsed at the smiling face of her maid and how enthusiastic she was.Grace had always been an enthusiastic maid, but there was something quite different about her today.Janice stared at Grace once more, trying to pinpoint what was new about her. Although she wore the usual outfit all the maids in Cherview wore, this looked quite new.She wondered if she had just sewed it.Her curly blonde hair was brushed and oiled. It didn't look as frizzy as it often did.Also, she noticed she had star-shaped earrings and a necklace with a star-shaped pendant.It could easily be missed, but since the girl had come to the castle, she had noticed every little detail about her.Janice could also tell everything she donned was new."You seem quite cheerful this morning, Gracie. May I know what is running through your mind?"Grace halted, blushing. She didn't know Janice would notice anything about her.

  • Matched to the devil   Pain

    Everything was going well until the afternoon came when Janice began to feel pain in her lower belly.Panicked, she waddled to the calendar she had placed at her side of the bed when she moved into the room with Jules. She creased her brows, glancing at it.Janice rubbed her tummy as the pain intensified. And then she groaned, doubling over. It was worse than the last time she had thought she was bleeding to death. At least she knew it was normal then because the doctor had been called almost immediately. However, she didn't know the matter because she would not be due until three months. It felt like the baby was trying to tear itself out of her body. "Jules!" She groaned, panting. Janice clenched the nightstand as her vision blurred. She attempted to blink the haziness from her eyes, but it was useless. Her heart and head began to pound, and the pain didn't stop. Rather, it became worse. Janice managed to limp to the door, and she breathed out as it swung open. "Madame…" Jul

    Janice glanced at the door as a knock sounded on it. She rolled on the bed and snatched the hanky beside her to blow her nose.Her eyes were puffy, but she didn't care. She only wanted the pain that seemed to have multiplied ever since she moved out of the room she shared with Jules to vanish.Also, the new ones that surfaced when she knew about what happened seemed to intensify all that she had been feeling and wondered if she could do anything.As soon as she got home, she had tried to set up a meeting with Jules to talk about everything, but it seemed like he didn't want to see her because each time she went close to his room, she noticed it was locked.She didn't know where he often went and didn't have th

    The next morning, Janice groaned as she came awake. She rubbed her temple and winced as she sensed a headache brewing.She recalled doing what Margie had termed to be fun yesterday.It wasn't her wearing a skimpy bikini to show off her backside to people in the castle nor did she seduce anyone as she had suggested.They had a little tea party in her room yesterday. Only that it wasn't tea they had taken.It was a brandy Margie had stolen from Jeremy's collection and hid in her bag.Music had been played as well but was on low volume because of Prince Michael and even the dowager queen since she would term the choice of their music disapproving or vulgar.

    "But trust me, can you see he is suffering the same way as you?""Just drop it, Margie.""Fine." Margie shrugged. "I hope you accept him before it is too late. You should try considering him because of the prince anyway."Janice glared and puffed out a breath. "We are not talking about him anymore."Margie giggled as Janice tossed her a throw pillow. She drew an imaginary zip across her lips and tossed the key away before staring at her."How about we do something fun?"Janice creased her brows whilst staring at the twinkles in Margie's eyes.

    Janice glared at the phone, continuously ringing on the nightstand, then at Margie, sitting beside her with Prince Michael in her arms."Give him a chance, I don't think he wanted to hurt you.""Well, when Jeremy does the same, I'd like to say the same to you."Margie rolled her eyes, "Jeremy wouldn't dare. Besides, I trust Jules and I know what he can do. He'd never do such. I smell blackmail."Janice shrugged, "I don't think so. We both know how Jules is before he married me. What shows he wouldn't do the same?""You should see how he stares at you, Janice." Margie enthused. "He freaking adores you and you think he would do something as awful as this with

    "Janice…""Stay away from me!"Janice snapped, moving past him and down the hallway. She stepped into the room and he followed suit.Jules let out a sigh and he pinched the bridge of his nose. "At least, give me a chance to explain myself."Janice sat on the bed, her eyes were on the ceiling. Even though she could see whatever Jules was doing in the room from the corner of her eyes, she pretended like she didn't see him."Will you ever hear me out or just assume I cheated on you?"She glared at him but wished she hadn't. His eyes were sunken and bleary as if he had not slept for days.

    "How dare he do that to me?!" Janice paced around the room, gritting her teeth. She balled her hands into fists and exhaled noisily through her nose."I don't think he is aware of this. I believe what Jules says, and you don't have to blame him. He is even astonished himself." Margie pointed out.She glanced briefly away from her phone, then at Janice."I don't care if he is astonished or not! Why the hell will he go about assessing everything in a skirt?!"Janice tossed her hands in the air. "I should have known he would never change. I thought he was beginning to become the kind of man I want…""He changed for you." Margie interrupted. "He mi

    Jules was the first to snap out of the daze he was in. He stomped towards the woman and glared, "Lucy, I think you are mistaken.""Perhaps I need to say it again. This is your child whom you abandoned years ago. He is here now. You can take him. I don't want him anymore."Lucy shoved the little boy forwards and despite her confusion, Janice instinctively caught him before he could tumble to the tiled floor."I have no child with you." Jules gritted his teeth.He yanked her hand and tugged her towards the waiting room, which was inside the church.He noticed people were gathering. A few people took photos of him. He didn't want them to know more than t

    "May I?"Janice nodded as Jules pointed to her chest. She turned, and showed her back to him, to help her undo the hooks of her brassiere.She breathed out as her ample breasts bounced free from the restraint.She rolled her eyes as she noticed Jules’ eyes on them and glimpsed him licking his lips slowly."Don't." She mumbled."Don't what?" A grin plastered on his face, "I said nothing.""I know and I am aware of what you are about to say." She mumbled, grabbing her son who was squirming in his cot.Jules shrugged, "I doubt that."

    It was exactly two hours after Jules landed and Janice was a bit relieved that not only had the pain in her tummy and lower back lessened, but she could move around the room as well, without feeling like she was going to be ripped into two. The only restriction she had was that she couldn't go a long distance, but it was better than being confined to the bed. “How about you take a cold shower to help with the pain?’’ Jules asked, whilst Janice fanned herself. She nodded without hesitation and allowed him to help her out of the bed. Stripping down to nothing, she stepped into the bathtub and let out a sigh as the warm water caressed her delicate skin. Janice eyed Jules from the corner of her eyes as she noticed him watching her from the d
