Early 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

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 9. His past pain
Paula's p.o.vI sat sighing in my room for what felt like forever, I wasn't happy with Henry's words, I was very much bothered by them, but despite feeling dejected I couldn't help myself from thinking about how he looked, I didn't know if it was my eyes or my imagination but he looked very calmer than usual and so handsome, he wore his royal robes without a crown on his head, his hair was brushed back for the first time and it really suited him.I stood up from my bed and picked up my veil, I covered my face and looked at my ladies who were all sleeping on their beds, I felt bad that I was still sleeping with them, technically they all deserved a room each, and my room was suppose to be Henry's but he couldn't even look at me without showing disgust.I slowly walked to the door and opened it carefully after glancing behind to make sure that they

Paula's p.o.v"My queen be reasonable," Laurencried as she and my ladies stood at the doorway."Get out of my way all of you," I demanded as they shook their heads in refusal."You can't go back to your father's house now, you will be made into a laughing stock and they will call you names, they will say you failed to do your duties as a wife and it will bring shame to you and his highness your father," Deby cried."Deby let me go before everybody wakes up," I ordered."No my queen, who will marry you after you leave this kingdom, please think about that. They will think you are impure and tainted when you still are pure," Bridget pleaded."I would rather die pure than stay here with him when I have no duties to his kingdom, for heaven's sake I'm his wife but he treats me like
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 11. No more aguing
Paula's p.o.vI woke up and shivered when a cold breeze swept by, I sat upright and looked at Henry who was laying next to me peacefully, it was still dawn and that was a good thing, I slowly moved his hand that was on my thigh then got off the bed and picked up my dress and dressed up quickly.I didn't want to wake him up because I seriously had no energy left in me to argue, I tiptoed and quietly opened the door then got out and rushed to my room.Immediately I entered I breathed out in relief, Lauren sat on my bed looking at me sadly."Paula!, oh sorry, I meant your highness you are back," she said as I walked past her and sat down at the far end of the bed sadly."What's wrong did something happen to you," she asked In concern."You sold me off to him and you expect nothing to happen?" I
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 12. Jealous
Paula's p.o.v"You look pretty," Lauren said while fixing my hair."Good, because I want to look very pretty for Henry this morning," I answered calmly.I felt somehow bad for not talking to him in the garden when he asked me a question. I acted plain rude when all I wanted was to treat him with respect."I'm done," Lauren whispered."You look beautiful," Cleo said softly.I looked at my ladies and smiled happily."Wait for me to return, I want to go and see Henry alone," I ordered."Go your highness, we will be okay," Mirriam answered.I nodded then walked out of my room and went upstairs, I took in a deep breath when I approached his room, the two guards guarding his Chamber's stepped aside then bowed.&nb
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 13. Hopeless
Paula's p.o.v"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

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

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
