"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

Paula's P.o.vI stood in front of my father the king who sat on his throne with a calm expression plastered on my face when in truth I was panicking on the inside."It's been finalized, your wedding to our neighboring kingdom will be in two days, I hope and believe you are happy with the arrangements I've made" father said loudly so his advisors could hear his authority lance through his voice."Yes my king, it's for the greater good of our people after all" I answered with my gaze stuck on the floor.I bowed then stood upright, I notice the happy smiles that came from all the advisors."You raised her well," one advisor said in admiration."Of course" father answered with pride."excuse me," I said then turned and walked out of the throne room.I found my ladies waiting for me at the doorway, when I walked past them
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 2. Disrespect
Paula's P.o.vI woke up with a slight headache and found my ladies ( servants ) looking at me quietly, I sat upright and cleared my throat, those days I used to wake up with their eyes on me I felt so uncomfortable, but now I was so used to it."Morning princess." They greeted together.I smiled happily, they were like my own 6 blood sisters."Isn't my hair a mess?" I asked while standing up, I moved and sat on a chair that was opposite my big mirror.Bridget got a brush and carefully started brushing my hair."My Princess aren't you nervous about tomorrow? You know you will be wedded to the king right?" The new servant asked."Cleo Know your place!" Lauren yelled at her angrily."What did I do? I was just asking politely, we can't all just pretend to be calm, we are about to take a journey to
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 3. Discovering his hidden character
Paula's p.o.vToday was one of the worst days of my life, immediately I took a bath, my ladies dressed me up, a servant came to inform me that my carriage was ready, I wanted father to see me off but he refused, he was busy with one of his concubines to even say a simple goodbye to his only daughter.I got in the carriage with Lauren while the others got in the other carriage, when the carriage began moving, I sighed sadly."My princess are you okay?" Lauren asked with concern."Yeah" I answered then leaned against the couch and closed my eyes. . . .I was woken up by the sound of loud trumpets, I quickly sat upright and found Lauren asleep, I looked outside the window, it was no longer morning but mid-evening.The carriage was moving slowly in the street where people were gathered and cheering, Lauren woke up and looked at me th
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 4. Can't turn back
Paula's p.o.vWeddings were mostly a symbol of love and Union, but to me, it was a symbol of fulfillment, my people needed this kingdom's protection and guidance and that was all that mattered to me, even if it meant me hurting or marrying the worst man on earth."You look very beautiful princess," Lauren said as I looked at myself sadly.I wore a long white wedding dress which had diamonds on the front and spots of gold, giving it a royal breathtaking fit, a beautiful white long veil was covering my face up to my waist and my ladies wore beautiful light blue bearless dresses that went up to their feet."Let us go," I said as all my ladies covered themselves with dark blue veils.we walked out of the room quietly, each step I took my breathing was becoming laboured, I was scared and felt lonely.I gasped when I made a turn going towards the door and found fat

Paula's p.o.v"My queen please think this through, you shouldn't do this," Deby said as I sat upright and glared at her coldly, she quickly knelt down in fear and lowered her eyes to the ground."Then want should I do?, Tell me who that woman was, the bastard had guts to dance with her instead of me" I spat as my ladies gasped loudly."Please refrain from bad mouthing the king, despite you being the queen and his wife you can be hanged for that" Lauren said in concern."That lady you saw dancing with the king is called lady Grace" Amore answered as the door opened.When Henry walked in, my ladies quickly stood up and bowed in respect."leave us" he ordered.They quickly left the room without a second glance, I lazily stood up and picked my veil from the ground and put it back covering my face.Despite hating everythin

Paula's p.o.vEarly in the morning after a bath, I sat in front of my dressing mirror with Miriam combing my hair, while my other ladies were taking care of my room and choosing a worthy dress for me."Pardon me my queen, but you look happy this morning," Miriam said with a smile while she continued to comb my hair.I was more than happy, as much as I hated the stupid bastard's behavior, I wasn't going to let him ruin my mood."Well, what do you expect?, Today is a beautiful morning and we are in a new palace, you know how we have been raised alone in a locked up room, but today I'm a married woman and I'm free, I can go anywhere I want to," I said then stood up and looked at myself in the mirror.I wore a simple beautiful peach dress which showed off my curves, and my hair was nicely let down, in the afternoon I was suppose to change and put on another dress that the Ladies were

Paula's p.o.vToday I dressed up with one thing in mind, to get Henry's attention, I was so happy when jack came to me a few hours ago. Flashback"My queen?" Jack called outside my door.I quickly put on my veil and came out if my bedroom."Are you ok?" he asked Softly."Yes, why," I asked."You seem sad and yesterday some servants were gossiping on how they saw lady Grace leaving the king's chamber's immediately you walked in, I know it's none of my business but is everything ok?" he asked."I'm ok Jack, don't worry about me, everything is going perfectly fine" I answered while trying so hard to smile under my veil."Ok if you say so my queen, I came here to invite you and your ladies to
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 8. King's return
Paula's p.o.v"My queen, today you are suppose to be happy, the king is returning, you haven't been your usual self since he left, do you miss him?," Lauren asked, I choked on my saliva then laughed."No I don't, I'm actually annoyed at him, can you believe him?, he chose a concubine over me, he is such a disrespectful man," I answered angrily.I had been whining over his act for a week now, I couldn't help it but get upset every time I thought about him."Do you love him that much?" Lauren asked as I blinked in shock."Me, love that man, are you seriously asking me that? What I feel for him is respect because he's the king, I don't love him," I answered then swallowed hard, I really wasn't sure what I felt for him."And by the way where is Miriam, Deby, and Janet?" I asked while looking around."They went to admire the jewels at t

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 17. Work rules
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
