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.

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
