"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
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 22. Marry me
Paula's p.o.vI blinked a few times then shifted to the side to block the light that was blinding my eyes."She's opening her eyes, please inform his highness." Lauren's voice came through."His highness." I muttered softly then quickly sat upright in fear."Don't panic, you are safe." Cleo said loudly.I looked at her then at my other ladies and relaxed.Lauren moved closer and helped me sit upright."Thank you." I whispered.I looked at the door when it opened. Adrean walked in with a smile."Paula, thank heavens you are awake. I was getting worried." He said loudly.I was shocked that he was in my room. How did he even manage to walk past the guards?"Can you please leave us."
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 23. Don't treat differently
Paula's p.o.v"I don't blame you in anyway Adrean, all I want to do is just leave your kingdom and go back to my father's." I said honestly."No, you can't go back. The people will laugh at you and call you names." He answered."And whose fault do you think that is, huh!" I yelled out in anger."It's mine and I know that, that's why I'm going to take responsibility. Paula Marry me." He answered loudly as I dropped my jaw open in shock.What was wrong with him, I was already married to the man I was in love with despite being treated unfairly."I'm sorry your highness, I'm already a married woman." I answered then stood up and faced the other side."I know you might think badly of me. You would think I had planned all this before it could happen, but the tru
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 24. Ruined
Henry's p.o.vIt's been weeks since I've been searching for Paula and her ladies. I really didn't know where else to look. Her father knew nothing of her disappearance and I made sure it stayed that way. If he was to find out that I was so cruel to his only daughter, he would have either taken her back or made my kingdom into his enemy.I was so scared and heartbroken, there was never a day that went by without me remembering her beautiful smile and stubborn character. Most times I usually found myself laughing, and on rare times crying for her. I needed her so much and I was willing to do anything if she were to ask. All I wanted was to have her forgiveness.The doors to my bed chamber's opened and Jack walked in."What?" I asked huskily.He shook his head sadly then moved closer.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 25. Bad thought, ill mind
Adrean's p.o.v"Mother what did you do?" I asked loudly in my chambers."I told you exactly what I had told her. I said, "Please give my son a chance just for a week. If in this same one week you won't feel a thing, then I will never bring up this topic and discussion again. But if in this one week you end up feeling something for my son, then you will end your marriage with your husband and marry my son." She answered calmly."Why would you do that?" I asked in nearly a scream."Because it's what every mother would do for her son, you are in love with her and I can see it in your eyes." She answered loudly."That shouldn't concern you." I said then moved to the balcony."It does because I'm your mother, are you going to deny that you are in love with her?" She asked.I took in a deep breath then released it, I couldn't lie to her or hide
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 26. The ball
Adrean's p.o.vA few days went by quickly and in those days I was very close to Paula, chatting and laughing, it was clear to me that she would never love me as much as she loved Henry.I didn't want to but I was going through with my mother's plan, I didn't want her to hate me no matter what so I convinced my mother to drug her at the night of the ball.One of the servants was going to put a drug powder in her wine that would really arouse and affect her to the point of her wanting to have a way with me.Since she rarely drunk, I was sure that she was going to blame it on the wine. That way she would not have an idea that it was all my doing.All I needed to do was to stay by her side and wait for the drug to take effect.Henry wasn't invited and I made sure that Paula had no idea about it. I wasn't going to risk my chances of being with her or t

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
