“How can I be so careless?!” Janice mumbled, whilst pacing around the room. Since her arrival back at the castle, she had been thinking of what Jules would do to her when he reached home. She had seen how furious he looked, and she wondered what punishment he was going to mete out on her. Janice shivered, clutched the robe she had slipped into around her body whilst glancing at the still-closed door. She hadn't thought Jules would ever arrive at the place she went to because he had left earlier to go hunting, and she hadn't mentioned it to him. Perhaps he arrived and didn't meet her at home. So, he had asked Grace, the only person she had told where she was going. Janice's heart fluttered as she sighted Jules from the window. He climbed from his horse and walked towards the entrance. She twisted the golden band on her ring finger out of habit and pondered on what to do to escape the brutal punishment he had promised if she ever disobeyed or made him furious. Janice knew explai

“And the final touch,” Grace mumbled, rolling Janice's hair in a chignon bun and clasping it with pins. “My lady, you can see your face now.” Janice stared at the mirror she had turned to the other side because she didn't want to be tempted to stare at herself and point out corrections to the maid helping with her makeup. She marvelled as she glimpsed at the woman staring back at her through the mirror. It barely looked like her. She didn't know what Grace did to her face to make her cheekbones more prominent and her eyes popped out more. However, she knew the maid had done a great job. Although it wasn't as extraordinary as the one on her face during her wedding, she liked how modest it looked. “Thank you, Grace.” Janice beamed. “I tried my best, your majesty.” Grace blush, gazing at the ground. She continued, twisting her fingers, “And I didn't know you'd like it.” “You did more than your best.” Janice stood from the chair she sat on and walked to the middle of the room. Gra

“I wonder what is going on with those two,” Janice muttered, glancing at Jules and Brightstone, who were taking a defensive stance. Both men had been on that spot for an hour now, and she wondered what they were talking about. “They are probably catching up.” Cecilia smiled. Janice nodded. However, she knew it wasn't what they were doing. She could recognize the hostility that was starting to brew up the moment Brightstone appeared. “Perhaps,” Janice said. Then glanced to her right as she noticed the dowager Queen walking towards her. Janice and Cecilia bowed to the dowager queen, who nodded in acknowledgement of their greetings. The women straightened as the dowager queen passed by, and Janice followed suit, leaving Cecilia after promising to catch up with her after the ball. “I see you are acquainted with Baron Beckwith's daughter. She is a good girl with a charming personality.” The dowager queen added. Since her arrival at the castle, Janice had glimpsed the dowager queen a

Janice lifted a brow as she sensed Jules's eyes on her. He had been watching her ever since she stepped into the room. She wondered why, because he barely did that. It was her first time noticing his eyes on her, and it unnerved her. “Madame,” Janice jumped, swirled and glared at Jules that had sneaked up on her. “Quit terrifying me!” She bristled. Jules chuckled, clutching her tiny hand as she prepared to punch him. “I enjoy seeing you startled.” He said with a cheeky smile. Janice frowned as she stared at his amused face. It was a rare sight to behold, and it entranced her. She found herself returning the smile. And she couldn't help but feel her heart skipping a beat at how boyish and cute it made him look. “You should often smile.” “You think my smile is cute?” Jules inquired and his grin widened. Janice rolled her eyes, nudging his chest. “I didn't say you were cute. Your face looks pleasant and less scary when you smile.” “Also,” she went on as she noticed him raisin

Brightstone's eyes darkened as he watched Jules and Janice, who sat a few seats away from him. He grimaced, shaking his head as the thought of punching Jules's face evaded his mind. His hands clenched into fists, then averted his gaze when Jules turned his head. He sensed Jules' eyes on him. But he didn't look back. Rather, he concentrated on the performers that were now exhibiting their abilities. Not that it scared him to stare at Jules, he didn't want to let him know he had been watching them. “My Lord.” Cecilia's sultry voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He stared at her for a long while and wondered why he wasn't interested in an unmarried woman like her. Cecilia was beautiful, but not like Janice, whose beauty was extraordinary. Janice, even without makeup on, looked like a siren. He had never thought any woman would look as perfect as that until he saw her. Brightstone thought of how Jules was able to snag her attention because he was aware he wasn't the type that w

“How about we play a game?” Janice shook her head whilst glimpsing at the mischievous smirk that played on Jules's lip. It was a lazy afternoon for them, and she was glad to be indoors with Jules and away from the guests that were roaming about the castle. By Guests, she meant Brightstone, who never stopped making suggestive winks at her and the Princess of Cones, who went on flirting with Jules despite her presence. “Why, Madame, are you frightened I'm going to win?” “I'm not scared you'll win. Rather, I'm afraid of how you'll make everything go in your favour.” Janice answered with an eye roll. Jules shrugged. “I've always won fairly.” “I doubt that you often win fairly. Because all I see is you cheating.” “Me, a cheat?” Jules gasped. He placed his hand on his chest, feigning hurt. Then he glared at Janice, who rolled her eyes at him. “Prove to me, you are not a cheater.” “Of course, I'll do that,” Jules said. He grabbed the scrabble board that was beside him and placed it

“This tastes so good.” Janice hummed as she dipped another steamed lobster into the cocktail sauce. She moaned as she took a bite from it. “I feel like I'm in heaven.” “Are you enjoying this as much as I am?” She opened her eyes, staring at Jules. She noticed he was yet to touch his food and wondered what he had been doing. “Are you not hungry?” “I am.” “But your food is untouched.” She frowned, eyeing the food before him. “I'm hungry,” Jules stated. “But not for the food. Rather, for what is underneath your dress, madame.” Janice reddened as his leg came into contact with her underneath the tulle-covered table. “Sire, we are in public and someone might hear you say those nasty things.” “I don't care and besides, we are married. So, I'm allowed to say whatever I wish to my wife.” Janice could feel her body simmer under his scrutiny, and she averted her eyes as he continued staring at her. She didn't know she still looked good in his eyes. Despite how large she was becoming,

Janice waddled out of the room. She clutched the hem of the gown she donned and caressed her tummy slowly as she felt the baby kick. "Your majesty." Janice nodded her head at a maid, as she bowed slightly. She walked past her and let out a gasp as her head almost collided with someone. "Your majesty!" "Jeremy!" Janice gasped once more as she stared into the twinkling eyes of Jeremy. It had been ages since she last saw him. After the wedding, he and Maggie left almost immediately. Janice was a bit sad since the only person she could relate with left. Now that her husband was here, it was possible she would be around too. "Where is Maggie?!" She asked as they walked towards the dining room. "I'm glad you are happy to see me too," Jeremy mumbled with sarcasm laced in his voice. Then, he shook his head. "I'm afraid she is not coming." Janice let out a disappointed sigh. Perhaps, she should have known she wouldn't come since she had told her living at the palace was more like bein

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.

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.

"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
