Blake's Pov

I couldn't stop thinking of Rose and how she struck my heart when I met her at the restaurant and we got talking for the first time. She was such a sweet soul, very simple, nice and cool headed. Such a fine woman I thought almost all the time and I felt it would be cool if we actually had to meet each other again.

Something deep inside told me that she was just that perfect somebody which I needed. Although I knew nothing about her, but I was willing to give it a trial, who knows things might just click up well between the both of us.

I could only think about her , and it helped me do away with Moms and Veronica's visit, which wanted to drive me crazy, those two were something else. Here I was having something else that made me very happy as a man.

I was quite happy the way I had handled their visit and told Veronica off, at least she would be so annoyed with me and would avoid me for sometime so I could get to know this pretty lady the more.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

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
