As I continued to cry, my heart felt heavy with the weight of disappointment and sadness. Marc held me tightly, his embrace offering me solace and comfort. His voice was filled with concern as he gently asked why I was crying.

Between sobs, I managed to choke out the words, “I'm not pregnant, Marc. The test… it was negative.”

His grip tightened around me, and I could feel his heartbeat at that moment. The pain in his eyes mirrored my own, and it shattered me to see him hurting because of me.

“I'm so sorry, Harlow,” he whispered, his voice filled with sorrow. “I had hoped… I had allowed myself to believe that I could change everything …"

His words trailed off as emotions overwhelmed him. We sat there on the bathroom floor, holding on to each other, both of us hurting in our ways. The dream of starting a family together seemed to crumble before our eyes, leaving us feeling lost and broken.

At that moment, I realized how much this meant to Marc. It wasn't just about me not being pregnant

    As we began our meal, the flavors danced on my tongue, but my mind couldn't help but wander to the challenges we faced. Blair's words echoed in my ears, reminding me of the doubts that lingered within me.Suddenly, the door burst open, and Blair stormed into the room, her face contorted with anger. “What do you think you're doing, Marc?” she shouted, her voice filled with venom. “You're wasting your time with her! She can never give you an heir!”I felt a surge of anger rise within me, but before I could respond, Marc stood up, his voice firm and resolute. “Blair, enough!” he exclaimed, his eyes filled with determination. “Harlow is my wife, and I love her. Our journey to parenthood is not limited to biology. We will explore all the options available to us, and I will not allow your negativity to cloud our happiness.”Blair's face paled, and she stared at Marc in disbelief. It was clear that she had underestimated his resolve and commitment to our relationship. At that moment, I felt

    Back in my bedroom, I couldn’t have a sound sleep and just continued to turn back and forth in worry as everything the man or should I say council elder said came rushing back to my mind.“Why is it so difficult to get pregnant? And even though I haven’t been his wife for so long, I don't understand why it worries me so much.” I muttered to myself as I turned around on the bed, it’s not like I could force him to get intimate with me all the time and what even scares me the most is what if just as the other wives had said he was incompetent does that means the council’s elders would continue to threaten me even make him lose his throne.“Ahhhh!!” I yelled in annoyance before standing up from my bed and heading straight to the bathroom. I took a long and clean bath before putting on one of my simplest yet elegant dresses.While I arranged my hair in the right place, I couldn’t help but admire how Marc cared for me was becoming so obvious.“If he won’t come to me because he wants to give

We exchanged a knowing look, understanding the gravity of the situation.“I guess we'll have to continue this later,” Marc said, a hint of disappointment in his voice.I nodded, my heart still racing from the intensity of our moment. “We will, Marc. But right now, your duty calls.”He kissed my forehead gently before heading towards the door. “I'll be back as soon as I can, Harlow. Stay safe.”With those words, he left the room, leaving me with a mix of emotions. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry about Marc and what the council elders might have in store for him.I decided not to be too worried and just waited for him in the study room, when a sewing book of his caught my attention and I could help but take it.I opened the book, and it was a drawing book, and it

I could feel the weight of the meeting and council's expectations, but In that moment, none of it mattered.all that mattered was the love and support that Marc was giving me.As I buried my face in his chest, Marc’s strong arms wrapped around me, providing a sense of security that I desperately needed. The council members, initially taken aback to my emotional outburst, quickly realized the gravity of the situation.

"There is something more important that requires my attention."The council members exchanged glances, clearly taken aback by Marc's interruption. But Marc's unwavering gaze silenced any further objections. He carried me in his arms, bridal st

    I didn’t know what to do but to listen to her as I followed behind her slowly, wondering where she was going to take me to this time….She continued to follow a hidden route in the wall, and I just had to follow her anyway.“Where are we going?” I asked jade, but She only smiled as we continued walking through the wall and this was the first time I was seeing a path like this in the palace. Just when I was about to ask another question we came out to an opening, and it was a small room with baby things everywhere which surprised me.“Wooow.” I mouthed as I couldn’t stop admiring everything around me. Why would she bring me to a room which belonged to a baby, or so I thought?“Don’t be so surprised, Harlow…I could have definitely made the room better than this, but I didn’t get the chance to have an actual baby.” Jade said, which puzzled me again because this was the first time she would say something like this to me or even actually speak to me.“I don’t understand why exactly you bro

    I looked back up at Jade and she was already crying… I moved closer to her and hugged her body tightly,I patted her back gently and relaxed her head in mine, “where is this child of ours that you had for another man?” I asked after thinking about it for a while and was not able to come up with a good answer.“He…he is dead, I couldn’t protect him.” She muttered to me, and tears began to pour even more than before.“Was the father aware?” I asked again, hoping she wouldn't get offended by my question, but all I heard was her sniffing in the tears.“He… I don’t know who he is, and you are the only one I am telling this to, even Marc didn't know about this before marrying me as his bride…. I cried for many nights and that’s why Marc thought I never loved him, not aware that I loved him too much as he was my savior and the only time I ever cried so bitterly was when I tried multiple times and still couldn’t give birth to any child for him…” jade said as the tears became more heavy, and I

Constantly looking at Blair stared down at me like I was a ghost, or Rona who always avoids me like I carry a disease. Not to talk of Jade whom I knew was somehow close to..."Arghhhh." I screamed internally trying my best not to yell out how frustrated I feel. I watched as Blair started walking to my direction, I felt like walking away but no, curiosity made me stay to hear whatever shit she has to say to me."How are you doing? Let's grab a drink or two." Blair didn't even wait for a reply from me as she threw both questions at me without even waiting for my reply."Excuse me but are you talking to a kid?" I asked her, anger evident in my voice."Can we go now? You mustn't throw a fit you know." Rona muttered
