"Stand up," Lauren whispered softly.
I answered then Shifted to face the other side.
"Why are you doing this to yourself?. I should have known you were in here crying." She said then moved closer and knelt next to me.
"Paula talk to me. What's bothering you?" She asked Softly.
"He really hates me a lot don't you think?. To reach the extent of slapping me, it means he does." I whispered.
"He hit you?" She asked in nearly a Scream.
"Yes," I answered then sniffed to hold back the tears from falling.
"I'm really sorry." She whispered then hugged me closely.
"It's okay, I guess I'm a huge bother to him." I answered while pulling back with a smile.
"You aren't, that man just doesn't know how valuable you ar

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 14. True intentions
Henry's p.o.vI was getting confused by each passing day. What was I really doing?. At first, it all started as a game of Revenge but now I was feeling bad for ever being cold to her.I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes remembering how I had met Paula.Was marrying a princess from my enemies kingdom a part of my plans?. No, neither was falling in love with her. I was torn between my heart and my mind.The day I had met Paula I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I could tell by the way she walked gracefully that she was the real princess not the lady who was talking to my cousin pretending to be her.It was hard not to smile and welcome them in my kingdom as if everything was fine when it wasn't. That's why I had to put on a cold expression on my face.I didn't wa
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 15. Adrean
Paula's p.o.vFor a few days, I did my best to avoid Henry, and for some reason he just let me be. I was very grateful to him but I also felt lonely. I seriously had no strength of arguing with him over useless issues, all I wanted to do was move on.I sighed sadly then stood still in the garden admiring the beautiful red roses in front of me. They somehow reminded me of Henry, he looked very handsome and breathtaking. But the more you got closer to him and dared to touch him, the more he hurt you like thorns."They are beautiful aren't they?" a familiar voice asked behind startling me.I quickly turned and faced Adrean who was smiling. He was in his usual clothes but this time his hair was tied in a ponytail.I cleared my throat then frowned at his informal speech towards me.He raised a brow then bowed slightly."Pardon my manners
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 16. Tired of arguments
Henry's p.o.v"What else is there to report to me?" I asked Jack lazily."The farmers had a problem, this year's harvest went bad. The crops were destroyed by insects and the little crops they harvested couldn't even cover half the kingdom." He answered.I sat upright on my throne with a frown."Why am I hearing this now, why didn't you report to me before you even allowed the farmers to harvest their crops?" I asked loudly."Forgive me, your highness, I ordered some guards to keep an eye on things but sadly they failed me. I will take full responsibility for everything." He answered.I stood up and walked to him. Jack was a very good brother and advisor, never in his life had he ever made such a mistake before. The fact that he did made me angry."And how will you take
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 17. Kind words
Paula's p.o.v"Paula, you don't have to force yourself to laugh or smile. When things aren't going as you had expected it's okay to be sad. Just as it is okay to cry when you are hurt, it's not a sign of weakness but strength." Adrean whispered.I wanted to push his hand away, sadly he was right. I was hurting so badly and I needed someone to give me a shoulder to cry on.I let the tears I was holding back fall. he smiled warmly at me and pulled me in his embrace as I sobbed bitterly."It's okay, let it all out." He whispered.I held his shirt tightly in my grasp and let out the pain I was enduring for too long through my tears."I act so strong in front of him when I'm not. He hurts me every time and treats me like a mere servant. Despite all that I want him to look at me as his woma
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 18. Once an enemy. Always an enemy
Henry's p.o.v"Why am I here?" Jack asked lazily.I looked at him then pointed at my clothes."Which outfit should I put on. Black or blue?" I asked seriously.He stood up from the couch and looked at the clothes on the bed."Wait, you called me in your room just to help you pick what to wear?" He asked loudly."Yes." I answered seriously."Henry, what has gotten into you, I'm not your servant am I?" He asked.I walked closer to him and pat his shoulder."I know it hurts to have no woman to show off your handsomeness to, but I do. So please quit being rude and help me out." I said seriously.He looked at me then moved closer to the bed to take a closer look at the clothes.I was feeling very nervous, it was already evening and I was looking forward to seei
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 19. Heart break
Paula's p.o.vI couldn't stop smiling like an idiot as I walked to the garden, my ladies picked out a very beautiful bareless black dress that showed my curves and more skin. My hair was pulled up in a burn that left two strands of hair at each of my sides.When a guard came to call me, my ladies couldn't stop giggling happily. They were surprised and very happy over Henry's change of heart. I too was still in shock over his sudden change. I looked forward to spending the night with him, if he would allow me I was more than ready to even agree to go to bed with him.I took in a deep breath and released it nervously when I saw him standing near the garden bench with his back towards me.My heart was beating rapidly and my throat was becoming dry."How should I greet him?. Should I say hello, maybe kiss his cheek?
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 20. Leaving
Paula's p.o.v"We don't understand, please make us understand." Lauren said loudly.I stopped gathering the little jewelry I had and faced them. They all had tears in their eyes and it was all my fault."We have to leave right now." I answered with a husky voice."But why?" Cleo asked loudly."Today when I went for a walk in the garden I met a knight. He was very friendly and so I opened up my heart to him and cried in his arms." I said sadly as they gasped loudly."My queen, how could you, did his highness find you?" Lauren asked loudly.There was no reason in telling her everything, either way, Henry knew."Yes, and he wants me to go back to my father's kingdom while he still has his reason." I answered."No, try and talk to him. Beg him please." Bridget said loudly."I did,
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 21. Furious
Henry's p.o.vI was walking back and forth in my room. To say I was angry was an understatement, I was furious. How could she do this to me, was my love for her a game."Your highness, just calm down." Grace whispered then stood up from the bed and walked to me."Stay where you are." I warned.She ignored me and touched my shoulder gently."What did you expect from a slut?" She asked with a chuckle.I lifted my hands and pressed them on her neck, squeezing hard."You are the root cause of all my problems!. If you hadn't told me about her being with another man I couldn't have been this upset and kicked her out!" I screamed on top of my voice as she struggled and choked.The door burst opened and I was pushed to the ground, I tried to st

Grace's p.o.v"See, you look pretty like you were born to be a servant of this palace." The servant lady who I knew was Elliana said with a smile across her face."Thank you very much for your kind words." I answered politely then looked at myself carefully.I was in a black dress which had white lace at the end of my arms.I looked horrible!. Not even Henry's servants were dressed in such an ugly attire.But thinking about it, it was okay. I was here to work hard, not to look fancy."You are welcome." She answered then extended a soft black cloth to me."Use this to whip the dust from the tables, shelves, books, and chairs. Then this broom on the ground is used to sweep the floor. The bin next to it is where we put in the dirt." She said calmly as I got the

Tom's p.o.v"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Valarie asked seriously."Yes, your highness." I answered calmly."So do it right now before I end up changing my mind, also remember to address my son as duke Adrean. Under no circumstances should you let Grace know the truth and that's a direct order from the king." She said.I slightly bowed and turned to walk away."Also, do report to me if anything out of the ordinary takes place." She said."I'll do just that your highness." I answered then walked out of the study."Gosh," I murmured under my breath while I approached the stairs.Since yesterday Valarie looked busy. She had the royal tailor summoned, a few of the servants taken to the grand guest wing to attend to Grace and she made sure that mor
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 16. Decision
Adrean's p.o.vAfter making sure Grace was safe and in the guest wing. I went to my mother's chambers, walking in without knocking.Immediately she looked at me she stood up with a smile."She is beautiful." She said softly.I was angry at her for trying to get Grace to look beautiful for the king. Yes, I was he but that didn't change a damn thing. Her trying to make her do something she wasn't comfortable with was out of the question."Yes, she is very beautiful." I answered honestly then cleared my throat."More beautiful than Paula." She pointed out.I brushed my fingers through my hair and walked to where the wine was.I grabbed the jar and poured some wine into the cup."It doesn't matter if she is more beauti
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 15. The queen
Grace's p.o.v"Welcome," Adrean said softly as we walked into the palace.The palace was bigger than Henry's and way grand than any palace I had ever laid my eyes on. The king of the kingdom was obviously amongst the richest kings of all kingdoms because I had never seen such a place before.Speaking of the king, where exactly was he, and why were we in the palace?.I was sure Adrean had a high official rank, I could see it by the way he acted, spoke, and dressed, not to mention the gold bars that he had. He was a high-rank official, but that didn't explain what exactly we were doing at the palace."Thank you," I answered softly then linked my hand to his.He looked at me surprised then smiled.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 14. Freedom
Adrean's p.o.vI was upset, very upset with how the mistress had treated Grace. To think she would make such a move of punishing her. The place was a brothel but the treatment was very annoying.I turned slightly and looked at her coldly. She quickly lowered her gaze to the ground."My lord, I....""I wasn't even gone that long and you had the decency to do as you pleased to what was mine. Do you want to lose this whole place?" I asked loudly.She looked at me with widened eyes."My lord." She whispered in disbelief."I can tear this place down within minutes and you can't do a thing to stop me, mistress. Do you think I'm bluffing?" I challenged.She quickly went down on her knees and shook her
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 13. Saved
Grace's p.o.vI was worried. Very worried about what would happen to me.A week went by and there was no sign or word from Adrean. The mistress didn't pay much attention because she thought of him as being busy. I didn't want to tell her about what had happened, because I knew how she would mistreat me. Selling me off at a cheaper price to more than three men was one of the things she would do to punish me.My sorry life was in her hands because she ran the place with an iron fist.When the door opened I quickly stood up with a loud beating heart and prayed for it to be Adrean.My heart was filled with disappointment when the mistress walked in with a cold look on her face. She strolled to where I was and stood in front of me."Child, do you have anything importa
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 12. Take me as a servant
Grace's p.o.vI burst out in laughter startling him.His brows were frowned and his shoulders stiff."Are you okay?" He asked when I stood up and fixed my hair."Of course Adrean." I answered seriously."Then, can I have your answer." He said while he too stood up."Listen and listen well Adrean. I, lady Grace, will never be one substitute or second woman. And never will I let the name Paula come first from the man I'll marry or allow to touch me." I spat furiously shocking him.Respect and freedom aside!. I wasn't going to be someone's puppet or means of sexual release. When I was with Henry I went through that, and I experienced how hard it was to be in love with a man who loved another. I was hurt and cried mysel
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 11. Pledge
Grace's p.o.vI slowly stood up and looked at the lord who sat at the edge of the bed quietly. I wouldn't dare to ask if he was still upset with me because I saw it in his eyes a few seconds ago how furious he was, he even raised his voice at the mistress.How was I going to apologize to him when I had lifted my hand and slapped him. What if he was a highly respected Duke?. He wouldn't kill me, but I would be badly looked down upon by my fellow women for slapping such a nobleman. No, he wasn't a noble. Most nobles were so full of themselves that they cared about no one. The man in front of me didn't act like a noble should.The man in front of me did care about me although he had no respect.When he called me a liar and accused me of not being a virgin, I acted without thinking."M...my ...my
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 10. Confused
Adrean's p.o.vI was about to claim her lips once more when she turned and faced the other side.I frowned deeply not fully understanding why she was acting this way towards me. A second ago she looked happy to see me, she even took the initiative to initiate our kiss.Maybe she was just playing hard to get.I lifted my hand and touched her cheek gently hoping she would look at me. But when she couldn't meet my eyes, I knew there and then that she wasn't acting. She really didn't want to be with me.I sighed softly and sat upright. I wasn't going to beg for her attention nor sweet talk her, after all, she was just a slut. Her job was to please different kinds of men and I was no different. All that rubbish about her being a virgin was obviously a lie
