I watched as the duchess continued to giggle while rubbing her hands together. A shiver ran down my spine and I felt very spooked out about how she was acting. I had known that her character was a complex one, but I didn’t count on her being some kind of maniac on top of everything else.

“A fever or a sprained ankle? I’m sorry but I don’t think I understand…” I said without hiding my apparent shock.

“You’ll do as I say, right? We did make a deal with each other…” the duchess replied with a pleased smile.

Every sense in my body told me that something abnormal was about to happen. Duchess Flavia stared at me intensely and I could sense her excitement and that just confirmed that I had somehow gotten myself involved in another mess without really understanding anything at all.

“Even if you say that…” I began protesting.

The duchess shook her head from side to side before putting up her hand to signal for me to stop talking. I swallowed my words of protest when I decided to listen to

    There was no longer time for me to change my mind about this. I watched in absolute terror as the duchess put a beautifully manicured finger up to her lips to signal for me to stay silent as she waited for the call to connect. “Oh, Prince Leonard…” the duchess said through the phone. My entire body stiffened at the mention of the prince’s name. Unlike the carefree way that she usually spoke, the duchess’s voice was now clearly laced with worry as if she had just witnessed an emergency. I gulped while thinking that her acting skills were spectacular. My eyes immediately dropped to my unhurt ankle that was supposed to be sprained while I thought about how I would get through this. Of course, knew that this was a foolish quest and that I would be nothing more than mincemeat if the prince were to find out that we were literally lying to him. Apart from the fact that it was already too late to turn back time now, I had to admit that I might be willing to go through with this if it meant

    “What if he starts to suspect that this is all just an act? Won’t we get punished for this?” I asked. “He won’t find out. Just keep telling him that it hurts and that you’re so sorry. The trick for him not to blame you for anything is for you to overly blame yourself. It’s simple, really. If you blame yourself enough, he won’t blame you and will start defending you. Try it and you’ll see for yourself just how simple men can be…” she said with absolute confidence. How simple men can be…?“I’ll stand by the side to see how things turn out at first. If things start to go well between you two, I’ll take my leave immediately so you two can have some alone time, ok?” she said before giggling a little. I was sure that she was imagining some sweet and touching reunion between us, but I couldn’t seem to share her thoughts. Being alone with the prince while putting on an act just to get his attention felt so wrong to me and it made me scared about being alone with him. “He should be here an

    I winced at his touch, but it wasn’t at all from the pain while I wondered how long I could keep this act up. “I tripped. That’s all, it’s honestly not a big deal…” I replied softly. “We should get a doctor to look at this. It doesn’t look bad now, but it could get worse very quickly without the proper medical attention,” he said as he looked up into my face. “There’s no need for that. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore so you don’t need to worry so much…” I protested before trying my best to offer him a smile. “That’s no good. I’ll call a doctor over to take a look at you. It won’t take long and there’s nothing for you to be scared about,” he said reassuringly. But there was something that I should be scared about…“Honestly, there’s no need for that. This is all my fault…” I said while repeating the duchess’s advice. “This isn’t your fault, Mila. It’s just an accident,” the prince said before showing me a kind smile. “It is my fault. I…should have been more careful…” I replied

  • The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid   Can't be a Coward

    Time was quickly running out and with every step forward, the prince was taking me closer and closer to the doctor. If I wanted to tell him the truth, I had to do it now. That realization made me panic and I instinctively clenched my fists around his clothes. I could hear the prince’s regular heartbeat as I rested my face against his chest and closed my eyes to gather my wits together. I can do this…If I ran away from the truth, I would just be a coward. Although I may get lucky, and the prince may never discover the truth. However, in the event that he did, it would really be the worst if he didn’t hear it directly from me. This is my last chance to confess and tell Prince Leonard the truth. “Prince Leonard…” I called his name softly. “How many times do I need to tell you to call me Leo when we’re alone?” he replied before grinning down at me. I could tell that he wasn’t truly mad but that didn’t mean that his mood had improved. By that time, I could somehow feel that the prince

  • The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid   Real Confession

    “I didn’t trip or sprain my ankle…” I confessed before pursing my lips tightly together. “Is that so?” he asked casually. His lack of reaction to my confession of lying to him caught me off guard. The silent tension in the air made me feel uncomfortable and I started hoping that Prince Leonard would just shout at me instead of replying so calmly the way that he did.The prince’s lack of reaction made me feel like we were having a regular conversation about random things without any key significance. Prince Leonard didn’t seem angry at all, and I hoped that that was how he genuinely felt. “I’m very sorry for all of this. I made you come here without any good reason; I am so sorry…” I apologized as I felt tears threatening to spill from my eyes. Not wanting the prince to see my tears, I quickly turned away while blinking rapidly to keep the tears at bay. Silence filled the room again and I began wondering if the prince would leave and that this would be the end of our unfortunate me

    There was something that I was curious about all this time. The prince did not seem surprised, and it was like he had known that something usual was going on. “Umm…” I made a hesitant sound.“What is it, Mila?” he asked in his most caring tone. “Well, I was just wondering…since when have you known?” I asked as I started to relax a little in his arms. “Hmm…if I had to say, then probably right from the beginning?” the prince replied before grinning at me. “Since the beginning?” I asked in disbelief.He had always known…?“Pretty much. I knew that something wasn’t quite right the moment that I answered the duchess’s call,” the prince replied with a casual shrug of his shoulders. “But I thought…” I said before trailing off. “That she’s a flawless actress? You’re right about that but I can also quite confidently say that I’ve gotten used to her acting,” the prince said followed by a small chuckle. “I guess that makes sense. You’ve probably known her for a long time…” I took a guess.

    I could feel regret in his tone, and something about it just didn’t sit well with me. I was the one who was in the wrong and there was no reason why the prince should feel like he had done anything wrong. “It’s not your fault. Please don’t say anything like this…” I desperately tried to convince him. “Thank you, Mila…” the prince thanked me before offering me another warm smile. I felt a wonderful feeling bubbling up in my chest at the sight of his encouraging smile. Without thinking, my lips curved upward into a smile. As our eyes met, I could feel like we had arrived at another level of understanding, and I felt eternally grateful for it. I was wholly convinced that I had made the right decision to be honest and admit to what I had done to the prince. Everything turned out much better than I could have ever dreamt of. “Duchess Flavia is well liked and respected by almost everyone in the palace and out of it. Most people have the same thing to say about her. She’s beautiful, kind

    “Prince…” I murmured softly as I tried desperately to suppress my moans. His stunning blue eyes stared deeply into mine as his fingertips slowly slid up my arm. I wondered if he knew that the gentle lines that he slowly drew up my arm made me feel like my skin was burning. My heart began beating faster and harder in my chest and I had to bite down on my lower lip to keep myself from moaning. I gasped when both his hands held my shoulders but before I could react any further the prince had already buried his face into the side of my neck. His hot breath tickled my sensitive skin for a brief moment before I felt the burning heat of his lips press themselves against the skin of my neck. “Ahh…” I moaned because I could no longer hold it in. His touch on my skin felt unbearably hot and made my body ache with desire. The way his lips softly kissed and then nuzzled the side of my neck made my entire body go weak. It felt as though the heat from his body had ignited a fire deep inside of

    “Congratulations to us, you’re pregnant, Mila!” Prince Leonard announced excitedly.“I’m pregnant?” I asked more out of curiosity than out of surprise. Although I knew that the prince would never joke about something like this, I still found it hard to believe that I was suddenly pregnant.“That’s right, you’re pregnant, and that means we’re about to have another baby,” Prince Leonard said before breaking into another wide smile.“I’m…really pregnant?” I whispered as I struggled to wrap my head around the prince’s sudden announcement.“The doctor said that you might have been feeling tired because you’re in the early stages of pregnancy. I’m sorry that I hadn’t realized this sooner; otherwise, I would have kept all the ceremonies short so that you didn’t have to go through all of that when you’re feeling so tired,” the prince said apologetically as he took my hands into his. I kept staring at the prince as he buried the side of his face against the palm of my hand.“We’re about to hav

    “Have you eaten anything? Actually, that’s a very stupid question. I know that you haven’t really eaten anything because you haven’t had the time, right?” the Duchess asked knowingly.Although I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to anyone, the Duchess was spot on correct that I hadn’t had the time or the opportunity to eat anything. The day had been so busy from early in the morning up until the evening, and everything seemed more important than filling my own stomach.“It’s fine, I’ll make sure to eat something when this reception is over,” I told her reassuringly before offering her a smile. Duchess Flavia only gave me a disapproving glare before shaking her head from side to side.“You look like you’re about to faint. It’s like I can see your face go pale even with all the makeup,” she said as she brought her face closer to mine to get a closer look at me.“I’m feeling fine,” I told her while I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t feeling light-

    "Your daughter looks like you," Prince Leonard commented."And I think that your son looks like you, and I'm sure that he will grow up into a great king," Regina said, and I could hear the confidence in her voice."Let me know if you ever need anything," the prince told her with a warm smile."You're always too kind. Please take good care of yourself and of Mila. Mila, please take care of our King," Regina said, turning to address me."I will," I replied shortly before finding myself smiling at her.Regina truly did look happier than the time when she lived in the palace. It felt like the shadow that had always been following her around and haunting her was no longer there. I could tell that she was no longer living under pressure, and it made her shine with happiness and freedom. It seemed that I didn't have to worry about her anymore.After some parting words, Regina led her daughter away from us so that we could converse with other guests. I had no idea how many conversations we ha

    Prince Leonard probably had no idea that it was the way his beautiful eyes looked at me and the way his alluring lips curved up into a smile that was responsible for making everything else fade away from my field of vision so that all I could do was focus on him."Thank you for making me your queen," I whispered softly and sweetly.The prince only nodded his head once before carefully placing the crown on the top of my head. When I was aware of the world surrounding us again, all I could hear was the thundering sound of applause that echoed in the royal hall...."Hang in there for just a little longer, Mila," the prince said before flashing me a teasing smile."I guess we're done with two out of the three parts of what we have planned for today," I mumbled before stifling a yawn. I had no idea why I felt so lethargic and sleepy, although it was only just early in the evening. So far, the prince and I operated as the perfect team to pull off two of our most important events of the day

    His words touched me like never before, and I could feel it in my heart and soul that I reciprocated his feelings and thoughts. I had never understood the concept of fated mates until I experienced it myself along with the prince. Our bond felt stronger and firmer than any endearing words of promise."I love you. I’ll love you forever," I said the words that came naturally to my mind.**Back to the present**When it came my turn to say ‘I do’, I found myself managing to say it without any difficulty. It must have been partly because I truly meant it when I vowed to be with the prince in sickness and in health, through thick and thin; however, I was certain that everything felt easier because I knew that we had a bond that even the heavens could never break."I do," I said firmly when it was my turn.When we shared the kiss to seal our wedding vows, I knew that what we had was something that was going to last forever until the end of our lifetimes....Our wedding ceremony in the churc

    I gave Logan's hand a slight squeeze before taking my first step forward into the church. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I reminded myself to keep my head held high, curving my lips into one of my most beautiful smiles. Without any hesitation, I made my way forward down the aisle. The fact that each step forward brought me closer to the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle gave me the comfort and courage to continue on. I didn't even bother trying to identify faces that I might recognize in the crowd of guests present on both sides of me.It felt as if all my nervousness melted away completely when my eyes met Prince Leonard's. I’d always thought he looked amazingly attractive, but seeing the prince wearing an all-white tuxedo standing in front of the altar with such a loving smile on his face as he waited for me was out of this world. I felt my heart skip a beat in my chest, and it wasn't at all because of my nervousness. Everything and everyone around me slowly faded aw

    It was clear that everything was too extravagant for my own taste to the point where it must have been pretty obvious to Prince Leonard that I had no hand in the selection and design of the proposed decorations. "I'm actually fine with anything. I think everything they've chosen is very beautiful, and their work is a lot more professional than anything I could have done by myself," I admitted to the prince honestly."If that's the case, then fine, but if there's anything that you don't like, just tell them to take it out," the prince said firmly."I just think it's easier to let them sort everything out. It's enough for me that we'll be getting married and that Logan will be there to witness our union," I said while trying to keep my tone cheerful. I was certain that if I picked out anything by myself or intervened with the guest list, I would be bringing unwarranted complications and troubles that I didn't want to deal with."If that's what you say," the prince said after finally gi

    I should have known that the prince would never want to become the next king for his own personal gain. I found myself nodding my head naturally in agreement with his plan when I realized that I also had to play my part in contributing to the happiness of our son in the future.“I agree that that seems to be the easiest way. I guess if you become king, you can change the rules in whatever way you want,” I said while seeing more than a glimpse of hope.“It’s not going to be that easy. Many people on the committee are going to be against it, but this is our best shot. No matter what, we’re going to make this successful and change the rules of this country for the better,” the prince said, so motivatingly that I found myself feeling slightly excited.“I guess bringing change, especially big changes, isn’t going to be easy,” I said, but by then I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. In my mind, I had already envisioned such a bright future, and it gave me the greatest honor to be able to co

    “What is it?” I asked, feeling a sense of worry stir in the pit of my stomach.“I’m concerned about Logan,” the prince confessed in a whisper.“Concerned? What is there for you to be concerned about? Is something wrong?” I bombarded him with questions, thinking there might be a threat to Logan’s safety. I had no idea why I felt that way, but I just had a very bad feeling.“Remember when you asked me why I changed my mind about taking over the throne? I’m sorry, but I haven’t been entirely honest with you,” the prince said with a regretful look on his face.“It’s fine. It must have been hard for you,” I said understandingly while wondering what had the prince feeling so concerned. “What is it about Logan?” I asked as I started to frown with worry.“Logan is getting a lot better at controlling his transformations now, but he’s still too young for us to be sure about what will happen in his future,” Prince Leonard said.It was true that our son had improved tremendously at controlling hi
