He refused to sign the papers, but I didn't care. I was determined to move on with my life.Leaving Sammie was not an easy decision, but it was the right one. I had been living in a toxic relationship, and I needed to get out.

Hardin's povAs a father, it was heartbreaking to learn that my own daughter had betrayed her husband and had an affair with someone else. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Sammie came to me with the news. I was disappointed in Rose for making such a grave mistake and putting her marriage at risk.But even worse was the fact that Sammie had reported me to the police, and now I was facing the consequences of my own actions. I knew I had messed up in the past with my involvement in drug scandals, but I had hoped that I could make things right and start over.But now, with Rose's infidelity and Sammie's betrayal, everything seemed to be falling apart. As a father, I blamed myself for not being there for Rose and guiding her in the right direction. Maybe if I had been a better father, she wouldn't have made such a mistake.I wished I had never forced her to marry Sammie, but at the time, it seemed like the best decision. Now I realized that I had been wrong, and it had only cause
Sammie's POV:I couldn't take it anymore. I had to confront Blake and let him know that he needed to stay away from my wife, Rose. I walked up to him with a determined look on my face and spoke in a firm tone.Rose had already left my house so an unknown destination to me and that was one of the most hurtful things I have ever experienced in my entire life. I was unable to find her and what kept on coming to my mind was confronting blake for her disappearance.Although I worked in the palace and I knew there was no way he would be hiding her there but I still have a feeling that she knew where she was and that was the reason I had to confront him they were there. it was quite a hard thing to do as no one speaks to any member of the royal family in an unpleasant way. when it came to what are treasured and desire the most I just couldn't wait hold myself for making these confrontations to him.Rose was eager to leave me and the lawyers had already sent me a copy of the divorce papers in
Veronica's PovI couldn't believe it when I found out that Blake was still avoiding me. I had been so sure that I could use our daughter Flora to get closer to him especially now that I was sure his closeness with Rose had been tampered with, but he seemed to be keeping his distance. It was like he didn't trust me anymore. I thought of ways to get him comfortable ,but I guess he was keeping his distance because each time we came together, it resulted into being intimate.I couldn't help feeling devastated. I had always been in love with Blake, even before he met Rose. But it seemed like he only had eyes for her. I couldn't accept that he had moved on so easily from our relationship. Ever since Maria's death ,I was so sure that Blake had never gone after any woman but just me, and now Rose had saturated his mind with thoughts of her.This made me so sad ,as I could only think of ways to get rid of her for good. The only issue was that ,I was allies with Sammie and he had always told me
Chris's PovAs I drove along the lonely road towards New Orleans, my mind was filled with thoughts of Veronica. She had been ignoring my calls and messages for days, and I couldn't help but worry. Was she okay? Had something happened to her?I was so lost in thought that I barely noticed the warning light that appeared on my dashboard. Before I knew it, my car started sputtering and coughing, and then it died completely.I got out of the car and looked around. I was in the middle of nowhere, with no houses or shops in sight. I sighed and realized I had no choice but to spend the night in this deserted place.I began walking down the road, hoping to find some shelter. After a few minutes, I came across a small motel. It looked run-down and abandoned, but it was better than nothing.I walked into the lobby and saw a woman behind the counter. She looked up as I approached her."Hi, do you have any rooms available?" I asked, trying to sound polite.She looked me up and down and then nodde
Liliana felt a knot form in her stomach as the council spoke to her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. They wanted her to pretend to accept the role of queen instead of her brother Blake, who was next in line to the throne. It didn't feel right to her.She knew that Blake had been preparing his whole life for this role, while she had never even considered it. It wasn't fair for her to take it from him just because the council thought it would be easier for him to find a bride if she wasn't in the way.But Liliana also knew that there was a sense of urgency to the situation. The king was unconscious and could die at any moment. If they didn't have a new queen in place soon, there could be chaos in the kingdom.She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She had to think this through carefully."I understand the situation, but I don't know if I can pretend to accept the role of queen," she said slowly.The council members exchanged glances, and Liliana could sense thei

As they walked through the gates, Rose couldn't help but feel nervous. She hadn't seen her father in months, and she didn't know what to expect.As they made their way to the visitor's area, Rose's heart raced. She saw her father sitting at a table, his eyes downcast. He looked tired and worn out, but when he saw Rose, his face lit up."Rose, my darling," he said, his voice cracking with emotion.Rose felt tears welling up in her eyes as she walked over to her father. She took his hand in hers, feeling the roughness of his skin. They sat there in silence for a moment, just taking in each other's presence.Sharon sat next to them, giving them some privacy. She could see t
As Blake walked into the restaurant, he was greeted with the familiar smell of Sharon's cooking. It had been a while since he had visited, and he had missed the delicious food. He scanned the room, searching for a spot to sit and enjoy his meal when he spotted Rose, sitting at a table in the corner.He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw how pregnant she had become. His heart raced as he walked over to her table. "Hi, Rose. It's good to see you," he said, trying to keep his cool.Rose smiled and replied, "Hi, Blake. It's good to see you too." They both sat in silence for a moment, unsure of what to say next.Finally, Blake spoke up. "I wanted to apologize for what happened with your husband. I didn't mean to cause any trouble for him, and I hope he's doing okay."Rose looked down at her hands and replied, "He's fine". "He actually quit the job himself. I think he knew how important it was for you too to have an income, especially with the baby on the way", Blake saidRose was surpr

However, Blake was confident that they could find a way to prove Hardin's innocence.Blake also used his connections in the government to put pressure on the judge who had presided over Hardin's trial.

Rose looked resplendent in her new crown and gown, with her hair styled in an intricate updo. She had never felt more beautiful or more nervous in her life.Blake stood by her side, holding her hand as they walked down the aisle towards the throne.

Hardin walked beside his daughter, Rose, with a sense of awe as they approached the palace gates. This was the first time he had ever been here, and the grandeur of the palace was truly breathtaking.As they entered the palace, they were greeted by a member of the royal staff, who ushered them towards a grand hall. Hardin felt a sense of nervousness in the pit of his stomach, knowing that they were about to meet the royal family.Rose, on the other hand, seemed more composed, and Hardin was grateful for her steady presence.As they approached the grand hall, Hardin felt a sudden jolt of recognition when he saw the Queen. He had not seen her in years, but he knew her instantly."Is everything okay, Father?" Rose asked, noticing his hesitation.Hardin took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice. "I know that woman. That's my run away wife, your mother Rose!."Rose's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean, Queen Bianca?"Hardin nodded. "Yes, that's her."Rose's jaw dropped as the realizatio

As soon as Rose received the call from Sammie, she rushed to the location he gave her. She was nervous, anxious, and had no idea what to expect. When she arrived at the location, Sammie was waiting for her. He led her to a small cabin deep in the woods forcefully. When they got there, Sammie opened the door and Rose couldn't believe her eyes.Sitting in the corner, tied up and gagged, was Sharon. Rose ran to her to untie her, tears streaming down her face. "Oh my God, Sharon, are you okay?" she asked, hugging her tightly.Sharon was in a state of shock and confusion. She didn't know what was happening and couldn't comprehend what had happened to her. It took her a while to realize that it was Rose.Rose asked that Sammie sets her free ,but when he gave her that dreadful look, she knew he was up to no good. Sammie immediately smacked Rose on her check heavily which sent her to the ground groaning in pains.He reminded her of all the humiliation she caused him in court the moment she sa
Veronica had been keeping a low profile since the accident that left Chris and Flora injured. She had heard about the accident, but she was not aware that her daughter had been involved. For days, she had been trying to get in touch with Sammie, but he had not been answering his phone.She decided to visit him at his home, but when she got there, the house was empty. She tried calling him again, but there was still no answer. She went back to her car and was about to drive away when she saw a car pull up.She watched as Sammie went into the house and came out a few minutes later. He was carrying a small body bag. Veronica's heart sank as she realized what had happened.She got out of her car and walked over to Sammie.

Chris was driving with his daughter Flora on their way home from school when a car ran a red light and collided with their vehicle. The impact was so strong that it spun their car around and hit a pole on the side of the road.When Chris regained consciousness, he immediately looked for Flora. He saw her unconscious and bloodied in the back seat. He panicked and quickly pulled her out of the car, trying to revive her. But she remained unresponsive.Chris's injuries were minor compared to Flora's. He had only sustained a small cut on his forehead, but his daughter was in critical condition. He knew he had to act fast and get her medical attention.He flagged down a passing car and begged for help.

Chris rode in the ambulance with her, praying for her to be alright. The ambulance's siren blared,
Chris had been searching for Sharon, who had been kidnapped by Sammie on the orders of Veronica. His search had led him to Texas, where he found out that Veronica was hiding out.Determined to find Sharon, Chris decided to play along with Veronica's game. He pretended to accept her back into his life and they made out. Chris was sitting in a hotel room in Texas, feeling conflicted. Veronica was lying next to him, wrapped in his arms, but his thoughts were consumed by Sharon. He couldn't stop thinking about her and the guilt he felt for betraying her.As he lay there, lost in his thoughts, Veronica stirred and looked up at him. "What's wrong, Chris?" she asked, sensing his unease.Chris hesitated for a moment before responding. "I don't know, Veronica. I just can't stop thinking about Sharon. It feels wrong to be here with you when she's out there somewhere, alone and scared."Veronica's face darkened at the mention of Sharon's name. "Why do you keep bringing her up?" she snapped. "I
