2024-10-29 19:42:56Paula's p.o.v
I was in shock over what Bridget had told me. It made no sense no matter how much I thought about it.
How could one easily give up after going through so much for someone?
Because of that, I couldn't even sleep much and Henry was upset with me.
I sighed softly while I faced the balcony.
"Talk to me," Henry said as he approached me and sat next to me on the couch.
"Are you not upset with me anymore?" I asked sadly.
He smiled then held my hand in his.
"I'm not upset with you in that way. I just don't like the idea of you staying up the whole night as if it's punishment. Paula, you are no longer alone, you are carrying our child. So before you decide to not eat or keep awake, please do think of that." He said seriously.
I swallowed hard and nodded. I didn't know if I had to tell Henry t

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 38. Epilogue
Paula's p.o.vA few months went by swiftly and there were no more troubles or arguments between Henry and me. We were so much in love and stronger than ever. I was handling my duties flawlessly despite being pregnant and near to the due date. My father, his highness usually came to pay us a visit almost every week. He was so excited about his soon to be born grandchild.He spent most of his time helping out Henry and sharing his views on how to run the kingdoms. Lauren was always by my side giving me a hand whenever I needed it. And for that, I was really grateful and happy."What are you doing?" Henry asked softly behind me.I glanced at him and smiled widely while showing him the little blanket I was knitting."I wanted to make something for the baby in my free time." I answered proudly.He moved closer and sat next to me on the couch with a wide smile.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK ( ADREANs side story) 1. My fault
Valarie's p.o.v"Son," I whispered in fear.He stood furiously facing the window.He didn't have to say a word for me to know how he was feeling. At this rate, he was more threatening than usual. But there was still hope of calming him down."I really was never meant to love anyone. No one was ever going to love me anyway." He muttered under his breath for the fourth time."That's not true and you know that," I whispered softly.He turned and stared at me with a cold, murderous expression. The warmth and love that was usually filled in his eyes when Paula was around was no longer present. In front of me was the Adrean most people in our kingdom feared and avoided.And the rumor that spread was well know
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 2. Wrong move
Grace's p.o.v"Walk straight you slut." The huge man beside me yelled loudly and tightened his grip on my wrist.I held in my voice as tears rolled on my cheeks."Hey, be a bit gentle with her, you know she's a virgin right?. And it's rare for us to kidnap one. On top of that, she looks like royalty. She will sell a lot more than we have ever made so far, that's why don't do anything stupid." The slightly built blond guy who was in front of me said seriously.Unlike the man pulling my hand roughly, he seemed a bit quiet and talked less.I looked around and saw that the place we were at was a marketplace. A few houses were there and a lot of people were passing, but they all couldn't look at me.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 3. Handsome stranger
Grace's p.o.vI glanced at the woman with blurry eyes as she stood in front of me with a displeased look on her face."Tears won't help you out of here or change a damn thing. So I advise you to quickly get used to this place and make it your home. Outside there are trained men that guard this place very well. No one has ever left here without my permission, only I and the customers are allowed to go out beyond these walls. Whatever you may need and which I shall approve will be brought to you in your given room by chosen male servants." She spat."I just want to go home," I whispered under my breath."I don't care about your thoughts or if you are a noble or part of royalty, what you should know is that you will be working for me as of today unless I find you worthless or useless." She spat then cleared her thr
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 4. Naming
Grace's p.o.v"Again." The mistress instructed.Tears were pricking the corner of my eyes and my jaw was badly hurting.In front of me was a curved manhood toy, polished and painted in a colorless fair paint."I said again." She commanded.I glanced at her and swallowed hard ignoring the ache on my tongue."Mistress, for three days I have been trying to get better at sucking different manhood toys of different sizes. My jaw hurts and kneeling on the cold ground only makes it worse." I whispered not wanting to offend her."You don't know how small or big he is, isn't it?. That's why you have to be prepared and learn everything there is to it. Not all men will talk to you sweetly and make sweet love to
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 5. Talk
Grace's p.o.v"Paula?" I asked again just to be sure I was hearing him right."Yes." He answered.I moved and flipped my hair backward with a soft chuckle.Paula huh?. Among all the names he could pick from, he had to chose that horrible name!. Why was that stupid woman hunting me even after giving up Henry!. It was like her spirit was after me and I couldn't escape.Despite that, I wasn't going to tolerate such a request. I was a noble and a lady of a kingdom. I wasn't meant to bow down for the likes of him. Rich or not I wasn't going to give in to such a name."If I may ask my lord. Why would you bestow such a name upon me when there are a lot of beautiful names to pick from?" I asked s0eriously.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 6. Servant girl
Valarie's p.o.v"Again!" I exclaimed furiously as the guards lowered their gaze to the ground."At first I let it slide because he was upset with me but not this time!. Find my son now!" I commanded loudly."Yes, my queen." They answered together then rushed out of my study.How could they lose sight of him so easily?. He was a king!, that meant his life was always in danger. Instead of protecting him well, they lost him and knew nothing about his whereabouts."My queen." Tom called from behind me.I turned and faced him coldly.He had a very calm expression on his face as usual and stood with his arm pressed on his chest."You called for me." He said in a respectful tone."Of course I did. Where were you when my son was going ou
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 7. Valarie
Tom's p.o.v"What do you mean I should take care of her highness for a while. Isn't that your duty?" Elliana asked."My duty is to make sure everything goes well and according to his highness wish as well as her highness." I answered."Pardon me Steward, but where exactly are you going?" She asked curiously.I sighed softly and kept quiet for a second. It still made my heart ache knowing that Valarie could dismiss me like that over something that wasn't my mistake. Was it because she was getting tired of seeing my face every day or perhaps it was because of the other day, I wasn't suppose to hold her hand or touch her in any way, after all, she was queen."That's none of your business, you only have to focus on her highness and make sure she has everything she needs in my absence." I answered pretending t

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 18. Last time
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
