2024-12-11 20:00:42Anna/Linda POV
My father looked astounded.
“I thought you don’t want it anymore?”
I nodded. “I still do. But you needed me, Daddy. I will hold the fort until one of my siblings, Colter or Isabella, is ready to take over from me.”
“Colter is…” My dad spreads his arms wide in helplessness, his mind groping for the right word to describe my brother.
“Happy-go-lucky.” I supply for him.
“Do you think it was because you put all your faith in me? Colter could be King. You only needed to believe in him.”

Anna/ Linda POVAfter my discussion with Flint, my father called an impromptu meeting.We had to leave the care of Penelope to Briana to be able to attend. Penelope squealed when she saw her cousins. She ran to them, ignoring us. “Take care of my daughter, sis.” Flint reminded her. Briana snorted. She turned a little to eye Penelope, running toward her cousins to make sure she did not trip on her way. “Of course. Penelope is our little Queen.” She kidded.“Good luck!” Briana called out before closing the door to their suite.“Let’s go?” I asked Flint, and we walked together to the meeting room, Of course, I am bringing Flint with me. Me, taking the crown would affect his life, too. I wanted to get his two cents worth on the table and see how we can work out our lives around this recent development.

Brie POV“Congratulations, Mrs. Hunter. You are ten weeks pregnant.”I got out of the doctor’s clinic completely in a daze. Her words echoed in my head, making my heart beat fast. In the midst of grief and pain, finally, there’s some good news, I mused to myself. Ecstatic, I could not help the grin that spread across my face, feeling the slight lifting of the weight on my shoulders. With renewed vigor, I quickened my steps. The elevator opened. I walked out, passing the nurse station on my way to the ICU.“Mrs. Hunter.” The nurse greeted me. “Hi. How’s Noah?” I asked the nurse, feeling a little fatigued. “Still the same. Mr. Hunter has not woken up yet.” The statement dampened my enthusiasm. Still, I marched to my husband’s bed, took the chair, and sat down. The nurse left to give us privacy. I looked at the dearly beloved face of the man I loved, and longing pierced my heart. Involuntarily, my hand lifted to touch his face. I let the tip of my finger trace his eyelids bef

Brie POVTwo things came to my head at once. My husband is awake, and he is divorcing me. “It does not make sense,” I said to Mr. Langley who looked so much like he wanted the ground he stood on to swallow him. His body language screamed of guilt and pity. I can’t stand it anymore. There had to be a misunderstanding somewhere, and the only person who could clarify and explain the questions in my head was my husband, who, I believed, was still lying in the ICU bed. Immediately, I asked one of the company drivers to get a car ready for me, but no one was moving. It looks like everyone knew about Noah’s decision to divorce me except me. I could not help feeling bitter, seeing how these same people who used to bow down in my presence suddenly turned cold and uncaring. How have the tides quickly turned?I pivoted on my heels and started walking back to the hospital. But before I could do that, Uncle Matt called me. When I turned around to inquire, I was shocked when he upended a box

Brie POVAfter signing my name on the divorce agreement, I walked out of Noah’s room as if the devil was after me. There was something about the air in Noah’s hospital room that had me suddenly feeling suffocated. “Mrs. Hunter, are you alright?” One of the nurses asked when she saw me pressing my palm to the wall for support, breathing heavily. The nurse walked up to me and held my arm. “You looked pale. Do you want me to get the doctor?” She asked, sounding concerned. I shook my head. It was then that I realized I had been crying. “I am alright. Thank you.” I told the kind-hearted nurse and hurriedly wiped at my tear-stained cheeks. I winced, feeling a sudden overpowering sense of nausea.“I have to go,” I told her. “Your box.” She reminded. I looked at the box in repugnance and shook my head, my chest constricting in pain. That box represents painful memories of today. I cannot take it. “Can I leave it here? You can throw it away for me.” I said.The elderly nurse looked a

Brie POVNoah must have assumed that I had accepted his accusation with my silence because when he spoke his words were full of venom.“Facts won’t lie Briana. And the report said that someone deliberately caused the accident. Someone tampered with the car.” “It wasn’t me!” I argued in my defense. My voice came out harsh because I never thought that I would become a suspect in the accident. Not in my wildest dreams.“You have the motive.” “What motive?” “Don’t tell me you have forgotten about your lover? Didn’t you plan this whole thing with him so you would be left to inherit our family’s fortune once we were gone?” His voice held his contempt, and my brows furrowed, recalling when I had ever had a lover. “You know I can never kill them. I love Marsha and Danny too much!” I tried to grope for the right words to say to make him see that what he was suggesting was preposterous. I can never kill the two people who took me in from the orphanage when I was young. The ones who had

Brie POVWhen I came around, the overpowering smell of antiseptic was the first thing my mind noticed. I opened my eyes to be greeted by a white ceiling before my sight wandered to take in the white walls, door, and blanket covering half of my body.This time, I already had a fairly good idea about where I was.It was also by this time that I acknowledged the presence of a cannula tube connected to the IV drip and attached to my hand when I got up from bed to sit up. The door burst open, and in came four young handsome, and tall men I haven’t seen before, but their presence suddenly made me feel safe. Their presence was enough to make me feel comforted. I did not feel so alone anymore. “Are you alright?” One of them asked. He had black eyes and brown hair just like me, but my hair color was slightly paler.It felt awkward when I noticed the four of them looking at me, and all I could do was nod yes in response. Their faces looked strikingly similar. “I am Charles Ford.” The s

Brie POVTwo days later, I was discharged from the hospital.I could have left the hospital that day when I met my brothers for the first time, but my brothers insisted I had to stay for another day.When it was time for my hospital release, I was surprised because, outside my room, men in black were standing in attention.“Is there a VIP confined on this floor?” I asked Jenna, who only laughed and commented,“Your brothers are crazy.”Then, she gripped the handrail of my wheelchair to push me out of my room.At the hospital entrance, I was amazed at the number of similar-looking cars parked outside.When they spotted us, the first car moved forward until it stopped in front of me while the others followed close behind.I could not believe my eyes. “S*it! Are you telling me this is for me?” I asked the four men when it finally dawned on me that the cars and the suited men were in their employ.“No one but the best for our little queen.” My brother Marcus said before he lifted his arm

Flint POV“Wow!” Riley exclaimed when we unloaded from our respective vans to gather in the middle of a massive courtyard fronting what looked to be an old but elaborate building consisting of almost twelve floors. “Is this your house Aunt Anna?” Anna nodded. “Yes. This is my home.” “Cool. Almost as big as my Daddy’s hotel. Is there a revolving restaurant inside? Can we go see?” He asked eagerly.Briana nudged him, and he zipped his mouth shut. Anna smiled. “There is no revolving restaurant in the palace, but we have wonderful amenities inside.” She offered and started walking toward the main entrance.Riley stopped when we passed by a uniformed royal guard who stood to attention upon our approach. Riley, ever curious, poked the man’s side. “Why doesn’t he move? And what was that in his head?” Riley asked, pointing to the tall ceremonial military cap atop the royal guard’s head. “Shh! Riley!” This time, Briana sounded stern.No one spoke after that. Each one is taking in the

Thank you everyone for coming.” Anna said.When we walked out of the airport, there was a lightness to my steps that was not there before.With my entire family to back me up, what could go wrong?I felt like I could tackle even the highest mountain just by having t

Anna/Linda POVWhen the plane disembarked from the airport’s tarmac, nerves attacked me, and I gripped Flint’s hand.He misinterpreted.“Don’t worry, dear. I am here.” Flint squeezed my hand.I looked at Penelope strapped on her FAA-approved car seat, which Flint’s secretary sent.She was smiling at me. “Mommy! Fly!” The happiness on her face calmed me. I smiled. “Yes, we are flying, sweetie,” I told Penny and chucked her under the chin. She was using Flint’s tablet while watching a movie. When the plane took off, Flint pointed at the window beside her to show the view outside while he never let my hand go. When Penelope lost interest, she resumed watching the movie. Flint turned his attention back to me when I unclasped our hands. “You are not frightened anymore?” He asked. “I was not frightened during take-off, I was worried about what awaited us in Arkadia,” I admitted. When we reached cruising altitude, Flint hugged me close. “Let’s keep our fingers crossed.I could o

SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 365. Serendipity
Flint POVNoah came just as we were finishing our meal. “Got a minute?” He poked his head in,Briana beckoned him to come in, and he walked to the table where the three of us were eating. He placed his hands on the balls of Briana’s shoulder. Briana, on the other hand, took Noah's hands to squeeze them before she tipped her head to receive his kiss. The affectionate gesture made me smile inwardly. They had been married for more than ten years. They divorced, separated, and found each other again. Seeing them together like this, no one can deny the love that flows and connects the two. It was hard work, but they are making it happen. “So.” Noah sat beside Briana and munched the apple slice he snatched from her plate. “We already cleared the hotel. The paparazzi and the police are gone.” He informed us after swallowing. “We can leave?” I asked, feeling an easing in my heart at the news. “Yes.”“Were you able to keep Anna’s identity under wraps?” Briana asked, pulling Noah's a
