Rose's PovI had never gone out on a date before and here was the most romantic guy I had ever met asking me to go out with him. It was very hard for me to turn such an opportunity down. Sharon was against it because she knew I was already married to Sammie.Even though I knew that, I wanted to be loved and I wanted to have such feelings as being cared for, pampered and cherished. I knew if Sammie found out about it ,he was not going to spare me , but who would tell him? Sharon would never sow me out to an unlovable husband like Sammie, even though she knew what I was doing wasn't right. I this point I didn't even care if seeing Blake was right or wrong. For the first time , I felt that someone actually loved me and I had feelings for him too. All I wanted to do was to enjoy the moment and everything that came with it.I knew very well how mad Sammie would be,but it didn't move me now. I was surprised to see Blake and Sharon acting all nice towards each other, I couldn't really under
Sharon's PovIt's been a month since Rose started seeing the guy called Blake. I wasn't happy with whatever it was they were doing , although she looked very happy and satisfied with it. There was something about him which I could not get my hands around. I felt he wasn't bad ,but at same time I knew there was something fishy about him which we didn't know about.Rose was so blinded by her love for him that she failed to listen to me. So many times I urged her that we have him checked properly and be sure she wasn't making any mistakes at all. My dear friend was completely blinded by her love and tried picking up a fight with me whenever I brought up the topic.I looked through the window of my office and saw her being dropped off by Blake with a flashy car which he claimed belonged to his boss who he worked as a driver for. The happiness she had while she waved goodbye to him after alighting was one I was happy with ,but at same time scared of.Blake had no idea that Rose was a marrie
Sharon's PovMy mother always told me that a good friend must always look out for her bestie and that was what I had had in mind towards helping my friend Rose.One of the days Blake visited the restaurant to see Rose , she wasn't on duty that day. He sat down and we both chatted so well. I noticed that his phone kept ringing ,but he bluntly refused picking it up, which was very suspicious.I had to excuse my to get something from the counter in order to give him some privacy to answer the call he was avoiding. I watched him as he got up and made his way to a corridor in the restaurant, I tiptoed and that was when I heard him discussing with someone over the phone on visiting New Orleans that day.The call was so suspicious as he kept calling the person on the end of the call honey. I noticed he was coming back to his sit so I left back to the counter and watched him sit, the rest of our chat was brief as I could tell that he wasn't comfortable and when he left , I saw it as an opport
Veronica's PovChris had always been my second option aside from Blake, he also had those features in a man which I always wanted and was so proud of, but he wasn't Blake and so Blake remained unbeatable.The fact that he was able to satisfy me whenever Blake neglected me ,was one of the reasons I always went back for more . Although he was the actual father of my daughter Flora, but he knew nothing about it and didn't intend letting him know anytime soon.I preferred Blake to be the father of my child, she would some day become a queen in another Kingdom and I the queen mother. Blake seemef to be avoiding me so much and I had no other option than to go over to Chris when you always had my time and was always ready for me.I have known Chris my love, for a long time, as far back as high school days, when we all attended the same school with Blake and Maria my late friend.Maria was always with Blake and I was always with Chris. Out connection was nice and all admired us whenever they s
Blake's PovIf there was anyone in the palace of which I knew had my back, that would be James my right hand man. He was my Enoch ,a well composed and loyal gentle man who had shown so much devotion to me for years.He was fifteen years older than myself and had worked in the palace since he was fourteen years old. Father said he was good in his service and that was why he was placed in charge of my Chambers.I had to make him my closet friend ,even though I know that the difference between us both was so much.Even when I tested him with some hard and difficult secrets years back ,he proved to me that my secrets we're safe with him and I could tell him anything I wanted. My phone rang that morning , as I was in the bathroom running some water through my skull which was burning from the severe headache I had all through the night, trying to run some business with my laptop which concerned the palace.This call must be important ,I said to my self. James was the only one who knew wher
Veronica's PovBlake had finally returned to the palace because of Liliana's visit. The Queen was right when she said she knew the only way to get Blake back was if the council , requested for Liliana's presence at the palace. She had pretended not to be aware of the meeting between the council and Liliana. If there was anything Blake wouldn't want to stay off from ,that would be the throne.I wasn't in support of her using the case with the council to get Blake home, what if they eventually handed over the mantle of leadership to Lily, then I wouldn't be able to be the crowned princess anymore.Although I wanted him back home , but this was like casting a dice without knowing what part it would fall to. The least thing I wanted now, was to loose the affluence I had always eyed from the onset.I was so glad that the plan had gone on smoothly and Blake fell for it as the queen had planned. The plan for me to reach out to him that night with a bottle of shappane, was the next. Blake had
Veronica's PovI was so displeased that Blake had to avoid me the more after what had happened the last time. I had taken that action so we could get more intimate;but I guess it didn't work at all. The look of his face when he woke up that morning ,kept recalling in my mind.He felt so irritated finding me laying next to him and I wondered why that was so. On previous occasions ,when we got intimate ,he got to be nice to me for at least weeks before he turns out acting strange. I immediately knew that this must have been as a result of a lady.Blake might be seeing someone and that was why he was so angry that we had made out the last time. This got me so concerned as I tried asking James if he knew if Blake was seeing someone.James gave me that usual attitude of his ,which was filled with ignorance of whatever Blake was doing, of which I knew he was always fully aware of his actions.Blake had referred to me as Rosie that night,and even when he woke up the next morning, he still ca
Sammie's PovI was at the servants quarters when Richard came in to fetch me. He was one of the palace drivers and most times drove Flora and Veronica to wherever he was assigned to." You must hurry now, Lady Veronica seeks your presence immediately", he said." Is anything the matter,did she tell you what the problem is?", I asked " No she didn't but she looks very much disturbed and asked that you meet her at the royal garden this minute", he replied and left I was quite confused, Veronica had never come in search for me at the quarters and I was sure that whatever had brought her here was really very serious.I got up immediately, dressed properly and left to meet her at the garden. I just hoped it was nothing serious and that she did not want me to do anything crazy for her.I walked into the garden and could catch a view of her from afar. She gave me a very sad look and I immediately understood that all wasn't well at all. She hardly wore that look and whenever she did then som
Blake knew how much Rose loved her father, Hardin, and the fact that he was in prison had been a constant source of pain for her. As the King of Greenville, Blake had the power to commute sentences, and he was determined to use that power to help Rose and her father.Blake began by speaking with the prison warden and requesting that Hardin be transferred to a more comfortable cell. He also made sure that Hardin had access to better food and medical care.Blake then went to work on the legal side of things. He enlisted the help of the best lawyers in the country, and they began to work on a strategy to get Hardin released.The case was complicated, as Hardin had been convicted of several serious crimes, including drug trafficking and racketeering. 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. He convinced the judge to grant a retria
Rose couldn't believe how much her life had changed in just a few short months. From being a simple waitress in Greenville to eloping with her half-brother Blake, discovering her true parentage, and now, being crowned as the new queen of New Orleans. She felt overwhelmed with all the new responsibilities that came with her new position, but at the same time, she knew that she was ready for the challenge.The coronation ceremony was a grand affair, attended by dignitaries from all over the world. 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. He looked dashing in his formal attire, and she couldn't help but feel grateful that he was there with her.As they approached the throne, the Archbishop of New Orleans stepped forward to perform the coronation ceremony. He asked Rose to swear an oa
Sharon and Chris' wedding was a grand affair, attended by their family and friends, as well as members of the royal family and high society. The ceremony took place in the beautiful garden of the palace, with white roses and lilies adorning the surroundings.Sharon wore a beautiful white gown with a long train, while Chris looked dapper in a tailored suit. They exchanged vows, promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives, and sealed it with a kiss.The reception was held in the palace ballroom, which had been decorated in shades of pink and gold. The tables were adorned with crystal glasses and silver cutlery, with pink roses as the centerpiece. A live band played romantic music as guests enjoyed a sumptuous meal and champagne.As the night wore on, the newlyweds took to the dance floor, holding each other close as they swayed to the music. Chris couldn't believe that he was finally marrying the love of his life, after years of waiting and uncertainty. Sharon w
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. "What happened?" she asked, tears streaming down her face."I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your daughter was involved in the accident with Chris . She didn't make it."Veronica felt like her world had come crashing down. She couldn't believe that her daughter wa
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. The driver was a kind woman who immediately called 911 and stayed with Chris and Flora until the ambulance arrived.The ambulance arrived within minutes and rushed Flora to the nearest hospital. 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
