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
Rose had been through a lot during her pregnancy. The constant sickness, the fatigue, and the emotional toll had all been too much for her to handle. But now that she was feeling better, she knew that it was time to visit her father, Hardin, in jail.With her friend Sharon by her side, Rose made her way to the prison. 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
Rose sat in Sharon's living room, staring blankly at the wall. She couldn't believe what she had just found out about her husband, Sammie. He had always bragged to her about owning properties and being a successful contractor. But now she knew the truth - he was just a common servant who worked for Blake, the man who had just left Sharon's restaurant.Sharon sat beside her, trying to console her friend. "I can't believe it either," Sharon said, shaking her head. "He had you fooled all this time.""I feel so stupid," Rose said, tears streaming down her face. "I was so blinded by my father's desire for me to marry a wealthy man that I didn't even see the truth. Sammie was just using me for my family's money."Sharon put her arm around Rose and pulled her close. "It's not your fault, Rose. You were just trying to do what your father wanted for you. And Sammie was a good actor, he had everyone fooled.""But how could he do this to me?" Rose asked, wiping away her tears. "How could he lie
