KAEL.

Adessa’s eyes fluttered open. She was looking straight ahead, still lost in her thoughts, and I just let her be. We were already threading a narrow, rough road through the deep part of the forest. The canopies of the trees filtered the sun, casting shadows across the path and making the area darker and gloomy, even if it was already midmorning.

The road was barely wide enough for a car, but it only meant I was in the right direction. It had been almost a decade since I’d been here, but it looked and felt the same.

“Where are we heading?” she finally asked, breaking the silence between us.

“We need a place to stay for at least a day so you can rest, and I can make some adjustments on our way to the north.”

“This seems to be too far from civilization already.”

“Are you scared of where I would take you?” I teased her.

She turned her head to me, and a smile slowly curled on her red lips. “You can tell me we’re on the road to hell, and I will still come with you. Hell with you s

I think they love each other. Was Karl getting drugged so he couldn’t remember? Maybe his memories will come to him soon. Thanks for the chapters

    ADESSA.“I’m not complaining. It was a good one year.” I told him, still smiling, and this time I nodded my head to convince him more.He took my hand and brought it to his mouth, kissing my knuckles. “The best is yet to come. I promise…”He lowered our hands but kept holding mine as we continued to drive in silence. Despite losing his memory, Kael was still the same Kael I knew. He was always calculated and never seemed fazed by uncertainties or danger, but something about him changed. He became more expressive.Before his accident, he would always kiss me or hug me, which frequently ended up with us having sex. But lately, he would do the same but never push more. He was content to simply hold my hand or give me a hug. And I liked it.If I were being honest, I had no idea if I should be grateful for all the things happening in my life at the moment because Kael was being extra protective and attentive to me like he had never been before.“We’re here.” His voice snapped back to the p

    ADESSA.Meeting Erika was a pleasant surprise. She was very motherly and immediately offered a home-cooked meal that I’d been missing. In the last three weeks, my only good meal was when I was with Aunt Aria, so my growling stomach welcomed the warm meal she shared with us.During mealtime, she finally confessed that she had seen the news that the King’s Court was looking for me. But the moment I showed up here with Kael, she knew there was something more to it than just me killing them. And I was grateful for her honesty.Kael then talked about his accident and him losing his memory. She didn’t hide her animosity with Miranda and directly told Kael how disgusting her behavior was toward me. I was glad Kael didn’t defend his stepmother this time. “I’ve heard about the accident, but I never thought it was that bad as I called, and I was told you were resting. I called twice after that, and I was given different excuses. The excuses seemed like you were working and not in a coma.” She s

    ADESSA.Sasha came, and I felt out of place right away because she made it seem she knew Kael more than I did. Or maybe I was just overthinking things, as they obviously knew each other way before I existed in Kael’s life. But to be fair with Kael, he made it a point to include me in their conversation or at least explain things when Sasha would throw remarks or tell a story like it was their little secret.Maybe I was just being jealous, but I couldn’t help it. It seemed every female I encountered these days was, in one way or another, related to Kael and had a past with him. “More drinks?” Sasha approached and filled Kael’s glass with red wine. Kael was sitting beside me, his arm resting on the back of my chair so his skin was brushing against the back of my neck.“Tell me, you really don’t drink?” Kael asked as Sasha sat back on her chair in front of us. The three of us were seated at the dining table while Erika took four-year-old Gabe, Sasha’s son, for a bath before bed. I shoo

    ADESSA.A drunk Kael was heavy to assist, but a pretending to be “too drunk,” Kael was heavier. He was surely having a great time throwing his weight on me as we walked down the corridor to our room while singing the same song he had sung to me the last time he was drunk. “♫🎜And it’s you and me and all of the people. And I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes off of you. 🎜🎝” He sang, off-tune of course, but I loved it more. I hoped that song was meant specifically for me, as he had started singing it a few weeks prior to his accident. But as much as I wanted to believe that, it was also the time he began to feel a little more distant and the time that Desiree came back to the territory.“Kael, you’re heavy,” I mumbled. “I thought you’d take care of me when I’m drunk.” He replied, pausing from singing and pressing a kiss on my cheek.“I said, take care of you, not carry you!” I feigned a scowl despite feeling giddy with the kiss. I still held his arm around my shoulders while my

    ADESSA. “Fuck me, Kael.” I finally said it. A growl reverberated from his chest, and his lips crashed into mine without a warning. My arms wrapped around his neck as we hungrily kissed each other.I couldn’t hear anything but the loud beating of my own heart and the grunts coming from him.In no time, I felt cold air brushing against my skin, waking me up from my trance.Kael had let me go and left me fully naked, splayed out in the middle, while he stood at the foot of the bed without a shirt and unbuckling his pants. He was undressing himself slowly while his eyes were devouring every part of my naked body. I was sure he could smell my arousal as his eyes were dilating, and I could see lust all over his face. His reaction was giving me the confidence I needed to play the seductress that always made him want me more. I anchored my feet on the mattress and spread my legs wider before letting my hand crawl my belly down to my core. The moment my fingers touched my wet pussyfolds,

    KAEL.Adessa continued to whimper, her body shuddering at her release. I didn’t even give her time to enjoy her orgasm before I reached for her waist and lowered her from the bed, positioning her onto my thighs while I remained half kneeling on the floor.She looked at me with her mouth parted and lust in her eyes.I didn’t need to tell her what to do. She knew exactly how to proceed like we had done this in this position before.She reached for her pussy and opened her folds wider before I positioned her onto my erection. The moment her folds welcomed the tip of my shaft, she removed her hand and arched her body backward.I plunged my throbbing cock into her without warning, causing a sultry moan to escape her lips as she threw her head back.A growl escaped my throat at the feel of her pussy clenching around my hard cock as she adjusted to my girth. She was so tight and warm, and if I didn’t take time to gather myself, I might end up exploding soon. My hands on her waist tightened a

    ADESSA. We had just calmed down from a wild sex. My head rested on Kael’s arm while my hand was playing on his chest while he was staring at the ceiling, his heartbeat already returning to its normal pace.“Kael…” I mumbled, letting my fingers trail down his chiseled abs down to his washboard stomach.“Hmm…”“Next time that we have sex, we need to use a condom.”“Next time? Will there be a next time?” He asked. I felt my cheeks burning, but I tried not to show his response embarrassed me. “Oh, I mean. Of course, only if you want. I’m not going to force you. Sex should be consensual…” I couldn’t stop my mouth from talking, but even before I could finish my litany, Kael had already moved in a swift motion. It was so fast that I just found him hovering over my body, our faces parallel and just inches away from each other, while his arm was on my side, propped against the mattress so that he was not crushing me beneath him. I swallowed and smiled sheepishly.A smirk tugged at his mout

    KAEL. “How much time do we have?” I asked Erika as I put on my shoes. “I don’t know.” She replied while helping Adessa to zip up our bags.“Adessa, the pouch.” I reminded her. “I have it.”“Where is Sasha?” I asked. “In her room. I will deal with her later. You need to leave now. Don’t use the trail you took going here, as I’m sure that’s the same one they will come from. Do you still remember that secret exit I showed you before?”I nodded. It had been decades, but I knew where it was. I just hoped the landmarks hadn’t changed yet. “I’m sorry. I wished I had seen this coming. I knew she would never hurt Kael, so I thought…” Her tears fell again, and I felt the misery inside her. I should have told her about all the other things Sasha did to the women in my life. Then, maybe we could have avoided this. But more than Erika, this was all my fault. I should have seen this coming. She would never hurt me, but she surely didn’t have any reservations about the women in my life.But I

    ADESSA. I had no idea what to feel once the result of my pregnancy came out. Negative. A part of me was grieving because Kael and I wanted to have a child, and another part was relieved that no other person I loved would be pushed into this messy life I had. But aside from that, nothing had changed.I threw all my doubts about Kael. Danielle was right. There are people worth taking risks for, and I would risk it all for Kael.If he turned out to be the bad man in the end, at least I had no one to blame but myself. Rather than turning my back on him and finding out they were all wrong about him.He might not be my husband anymore, but I remembered the vows I made to him in that car—for richer and for poorer, in sickness and health—I promised to honor and cherish him. I planned to keep the end of my vow, even if I didn’t have the ring anymore that we had that day, as I had taken it off and left it in the car when we attended the Moonlight Ball. I’d been longing to see Kael. The days

    ADESSA. I whimpered softly before fluttering my lashes. The bright lights blinded me for a millisecond before I was able to open my eyes completely and found everyone staring at me—as if I were a subject on a petri dish. “Am I dead?” I asked. “Adessa!” The king hissed, and I closed my eyes immediately.“I’m sorry, Father. I just…”“Enough. We will talk about that in private. You need to be checked first.”I just nodded my head before opening my eyes. They assisted me into a sitting position before they checked my vitals. After a while, the physician said nothing was wrong, and it could only be pointed to exhaustion. He then asked the King if he wanted him to do sets of tests to check further.Even before he could answer, I had already blurted out my own question. “Can you check if I’m pregnant?”I knew I was being bold, but the earlier I could find out, the earlier I could plead to stop the Royal Games. “Do you think you are?” The King’s jaw tightened as he asked.“I’m already del

    DANIELLE. Prince Esriel was approaching. As much as I wanted to walk away and pretend I didn’t see him, I couldn’t. I had my responsibilities as Princess Adessa’s handmaid and as a palace worker. So, I turned my body around and bowed my head in his direction. “What’s happening here?” he asked once he stopped before me and the guard outside the room. I tilted my head up and met his piercing gaze before replying. “The princess fainted your Royal Highness. I already requested for the family physician to come here.” He didn’t say anything and opened the door, stepping inside the princess’s suite, so I had no choice but to follow him.I walked faster than him, leading him to her bedroom. “She still hasn’t woken up.” I immediately checked her pulse and if she was breathing. “Do you mind helping me to position her correctly, sir? I can try carrying her, but I don’t want to hurt…”“Cut with the Sir crap, Dani.” He interrupted me, and then he chuckled. He walked toward the bed, and I cou

    ADESSA.I made it back to my chamber and found Danielle there. She ushered me in and locked the main bedroom before guiding me to sit on the bed. “Are you okay, my lady?” She asked, and I could tell she was worrying about me, even if she knew she was in a greater mess than I was. “No,” I replied, letting out a big sigh. “I’m sorry that you don’t feel good, but I have to say this first because they can take me away from you any moment now.”“I won’t let that happen.”“Don’t worry about me, but listen, Princess Adessa. Under this mattress is my phone. It is safer here than in mine if they ever search my room for anything.”I nodded before I threw my arms to hug her. “I’m sorry I put you in trouble.”She rubbed my back and pulled away from my hug. “It’s okay. I want to help as much as I can.”“Did he message already?”“Not yet, when I placed it there a few minutes ago.” She replied. “He must not have the chance to do it yet.”“Do you think he loves me and not just because I’m a princes

    ADESSA.“Did the accident really happen? Did he lose his memory, or was that an act to force divorce on you because he no longer wanted you?” Father asked all this in one breath. “But he changed his mind when he found out you could be of Royal blood.”“He had an accident! If you researched him, then it should be here!” My voice was higher, and my hand slammed on the folder as I fought my tears—everything he said kept piercing my heart. I could take anything. I could take the divorce talk. I could take looking at photos of him and Desiree embracing and laughing. But my heart couldn’t accept that he didn’t love me as he said. “It is here.” The King took out documents and pushed them in front of me. My eyes watered as I looked at the papers—some of them I was familiar with as they were handed to me while he was in a coma.All these documents were signed by Dr. Carlitos, the one who attended to him because Dr. Gideon was not around. “The doctor who saw and attended to him was not a leg

    ADESSA.“Your brothers will be the ones screening all the applicants for the Royal Games. They should know who your ex-husband is.” Father’s words kept resonating in my head, and I was losing my focus. Father talked about not wanting to meddle with whoever would be joining the games, as he was the one to determine who would take the crown after him. So he needed not to give any favor to any of my possible husbands. I still couldn’t understand anything. So, instead, I looked at all the men around the table. Esmaeel, Eston, and Esriel, the three oldest, listened intently while Esaias, the youngest, looked bored and kept yawning, although he was trying to be discreet about it. Esegar was playing with a Rubik’s cube and seemed to be in his own world. But he did ask a few questions while Father was reminding all of them when the screening would start, so I knew he was listening. I did wonder, though, who among them wanted the crown. Maybe I could plead to him or them to let Kael part

    ADESSA.“There she is.” I heard a voice, and my head snapped to look where the sound came from. I found myself face-to-face with four men around a conference table. Even though they were sitting, they all looked tall. They must be taller than Esriel, who was already six feet and two inches in height. “One would have thought she was tall. Did we have a midget for a sister?”My eyes widened. Midget? I was around five feet and four inches. I wasn’t short. They were just giants. I thought they were seriously judging me when I realized they were all smiling. “I would rather have a midget than a giant for a sister,” Esriel said as he stood beside me. They all chuckled, and if these four men, who must be aging from their late twenties to late thirties, were the princes, they didn’t look like one except for the formal vests they were wearing. The way they were snickering reminded me of the boys of the little rascals. “Hi…” That was all I could say as my eyes shifted between them.They imme

    ADESSA. “Do you think I will just get my details from another’s mouth without any proof? Don’t you think I’m not capable of getting credible information?” The King asked, and his voice was back to being cold again. “I’m not challenging your resources, Father, but I know my husband. I know what we went through and why we ended up here.”“Do you really know your ex-husband, Adessa?”I was confident when I started talking about Kael, but the way he was delivering his words made me question whether I really knew Kael. Was one year enough to know him? But even if there was doubt in me, I did my best not to let it show. “Nothing anyone can say can make me see him in a different light.”“You are blinded by what you feel about him.”I swallowed hard, but I kept my gaze on him. I was torn between challenging him more and allowing him to speak his mind. “Let’s move to my office. Your other brothers are waiting for us there.” He stood up from his chair, and I immediately moved to block his w

    ADESSA.Danielle helped take my clothes off, but I told her I wanted to shower alone. I wished I didn’t. I wished I had let her help me with my bath because she was gone the moment I stepped out of my bathroom. Another handmaid was waiting for me. Aileen informed me that she would be assisting me moving forward. I knew right then and there that Danielle was in trouble. I might get away from the King’s anger, but not her, and it was all my fault. I maintained my composure while Aileen assisted me in putting on a new gown, even if I was worried. She offered to braid my hair, but I refused and let it down. And even if she wasn’t in agreement, I left the room in a hurry. I wanted to find Danielle to make sure she was okay. My feet led me to one of the Palace Salons, where I was told the King was. Either he left the banquet early, or the breakfast had been concluded. But it didn’t matter anymore, as Kael was no longer there, and I had to make sure Danielle would not be punished.Aile
