Simone's povđź‘‘

I growled and exhaled sharply. It looked as of the whole world was coming to an end for me.

The excruciating pains I felt drove me crazy and I could only hold onto King Lee for support.

"Where are the f**k*ng nurses?!" The King yelled at the doctor.

"They're on their way, My Lord...please, you must calm down--" 

"Aargh!" I screamed I tears.

I was starting to sweat already....

King Lee snatched the handkie from my maid and wiped my face with It.

"Don't stop breathing..it reduces the pain. Don't worry...anything can happen to the baby, but not to you...I'll make sure of that" He said softly and our eyes locked.

What does he mean by that? Anything can happen to the baby but not to me??

But I thought he cares more about the child than me. 

Or probably my hearing senses didn't hear him well cause of the pain.

    Simone's povđź‘‘I took a deep breath and pushed as hard as I could. The strength it drained made me feel death itself and I screamed in anguish."You're doing good, Simone...let's take it again" He said and I gasped for air.I pushed harder than the last and I felt more dejected.A maid dabbed a handkie on my forehead and I panted nonstop."Doctor..." King Lee called staring intently at me."Yes, your majesty_" The doctor replied coming close."Measure her cervix again" He ordered and the doctor got to work while I growled bobbing my heart up and down on the pillow."Its now 9 centimeters...she's ready to push" The doctor said and the Kind came back to the seat he was seating on.He held my hand firmly and the nurses seemed to pull some things together."On the count of three, you push as hard as you can Simone..."

He was surrounded with his guards and walked ahead of them.The men stopped and stared at me as i reduced my pace and walked royally to the king.He looked doleful and I could tell he was sad. One of the maid's told me Sieone's baby died and I'm just devastated."Yeah?" He asked in muffled breaths.I was eager to see him but right now, i just feel like crawling under a rock."I...I'm sorry about the lost baby. I'm also sorry for stopping you...I'll come later...your highness" I stuttered."No...its fine. Let's go to my chambers" He said and began walking away.I followed coyly with so much ponderous thoughts going on in my mind.Why poor Simone?...I sniffed and wiped off the tear that had rested on my cheek.I pray she gets over the pain of loosing her child immediately af

They barged into the room and grabbed me."No! Stop!" I yelled struggling."The king has ordered us to take you to the dungeon so it's left for you to cooperate" The leader chided and they began pulling me away."Mommy!" Xenia called running after us and the maids held her.My eyes watered as I realized what was going on...I'm in so much trouble.

He took my hand and pulled me towards the balcony.I rested my hands on the railings and he wrapped his hands around my waist."I have something to do, Annaliese..."I flinched and turned to look at him."You don't need to be too surprised...I know your full name" He said and I melted at the spot.He knows my full name?? I mean...Anna's full name...Oh Geez!I escaped this one...that's for sure."I have someone to deform...come here after you're done with the wedding tutorial" He said and placed a kiss on my cheek before leaving.I betted my lashes like a bloate

I asked alarmed.He clenched his fist and faced his guard."30 strokes of cane. I want to see her skin turn red" He ordered and walked out of the room.What?!No...."King Lee!!! This is not fair!..." I screamed with gritted teeth.The guards grabbed me up roughly from the floor and I continued to resist.This is wickedness...

I didn't need escorts to where i was heading.I stepped on the brakes and the car came to a screech stop.I opened the door and walked out. The house looked old but beautiful.I always come here with my father whenever he was confused about something.This place proved to be a comfort zone to any man that is pushed to the edge of breaking down.But I'm not about to break down.My reason to be here is entirely different.I approached the house and opened the door immediately.The old woman was sitting on the floor - eating from a plate.She looked up startled."Lee..."

That's impossible.Its not written on my face that I'm a healer.I was done shutting the windows and turned around. I caught him getting on his bed."Is there anything else you need, your Majesty?" I asked walking going towards him."No, you can go now" He ordered and my eyes dropped on his hand.He had tied a bandage around his injury.This means he just called me here to close his windows.Seriously?!"Goodnight, your highness" I said with a bow before walking to the door."Hold on...I think there's one more thing" He mumbled and I froze.You got to be kidding me.I was so sleepy and craved to lie

    (8 years later)The bright light from the sun reflected on the long white limousine which had the royal family inside. The car was speeding along the smooth hills of Euphoris."Mom, can I please wear your crown?" Kian - Dawn's first son asked removing the one on his head.Dawn sighed and reached for the gold crown on her own head and handed it to him. He collected the crown and right before he could place it on his head, Kyle - his younger twin brother pounced on him dragging for it."I wanna wear mom's crown too!!" He screamed and Dawn made a grimace."Stop it, you two!" She rasped and gave up immediately; She knew they wouldn't listen to her. Its their father they fear the most.Xenia sat across on her own sit together with Crystal - Dawn's little girl. She's five years old and is another version of Xenia.They're both the matured ones unlike K

    (Next Morning) Dawnđź‘‘"Everything's all set and Caroline has left to go get Raphael. We have to start going" I rasped trying to zip up the dress I wore.My baby bump was getting in the way for the clothe to pull together. Xenia was on the bed playing a game with my phone while King Lee was behind me fixing his hair.He helped me pull up the zipper and the dress was finally fitted. Thank goodness it isn't too tight. I'd pass out before we get there."Alright let's go! Come on Xenia" I said taking her hand. She climbed down from the bed and we left the room together.King Lee wasn't I such a good mood so I tried not to get him more upset.He has been dead quiet since we woke up this morning. He might be angry about Tristan. I know I shouldn't have told him!We got to the hall which was a wonderful sight with sophisticat

    Dawn's pov..."Its nothing. I'm fine" I replied feeling a bit febrile. He walked slowly to where I was and took my hands."You don't need to worry. After I get back from the meeting, I won't be going anywhere else through out this week. We'll spend lots of time together, huh?".I stood up and embraced him tightly. His hands wrapped around my waist and we cuddled ourselves for some minutes."I'll be back and stay out of trouble. I wouldn't want anything to happen to the twins" He teased with a wink.I gasped."Don't you dare wish that for me. I can't possibly have twins!" I panicked and he chuckled."With all the make outs and more rounds you've been asking for? There's definitely gonna be twins growing in there" He smirked.I hugged him again brimful of smiles. The exciting thoughts of having a child for the king. What more could I

    Tristanđź”±My eyes pierced into the short bottle of whiskey and it seemed to stimulate me the more. Cheers to my failure!I uncapped the bottle and brought it closer to my lips. I gulped all the bitter strong content at once that it started to wear me out. I tossed the bottle out of the window.That's the third bottle I'm taking today. I know its wrong for guards to be drinking on the job but right now...I don't give a d**n!*Tristan! Tristan!!* A familiar voice yelled from out in the room.I stood up from the toilet seat and wiped my lips with the back of my palm."I'm here!" I shot out stonily and stepped out of the toilet.There was a figure leaning by the door and his hands crossed. I know that figure - I can never forget the jerk that keeps lecturing me to emulate my cousin's virtues."You've been working here for a long time, Tr

    King Lee"Seriously Dawn?! I've been away for two weeks and that's all you can say?" I asked glaring at her."Oh...I'm sorry honey. But I suddenly felt like the cologne on your shirt is too much. It smells" She replied making a grimace."You're so annoying!" I grunted and started pulling off my shirt. I was now shirtless and the gold chain dangled on my neck.Dawn ran her hands around my chest and I just gazed into her beautiful face.She's added so much weight because of the baby."Are you tired? I think I want you right now" She whispered with her eyes glued to my half n*ked body."Are you kidding me?? A while ago, you called me smelly and now you want me?" I asked rolling my eyes.She sniffed and lowered her head.Here we go with her fake tears."I thought you loved me...and now you don't even wanna hel

    (Wedding day) DawnI was hoping the castle would be filled up and occupied with a huge crowd from the whole kingdom and afar but no - it was just people with important positions and the wealthiest families.The royal priest had done the first wedding rituals and we said our vows and wore the rings. It was time for the proper ball and luckily, much things weren't required from me.Mom was here dressed so ravishing and shimmering her gold gown. Caroline posed as the bride's maid and Xenia as the little bride.I never for once sat down and thought about me getting married some day. And now its happening in such a way that surprises me.There were so much gift presented by the guests and Caroline was in charge of putting them away from the hall.It was finally time for the King and I to take our first dance together, befor

    Dawnđź‘‘I bumped into King Lee on my way to the throne room. He looked happy and I told him about Xenia."Let's go then. She needs to start letting the maids feed her. I won't be around all the time" He mumbled as we strolled to her room together."She's still sad about her mom leaving. She can't stop being moody and perturbed" I said worriedly."She'll get over it. You can help her, Dawn. You're her second mom, right now"."I realized. How's your mother? She barely comes out of her room after the day she spoke in court" I recalled."She's used to being indoors so that's virtually her business" He replied coldly.I opened the door to Xenia's room and we entered. She sat on the bed quietly.There's no doubt she's going through something. She's being disturbed emotionally."Hey princess" King Lee called and knelt beside her on

    Aliciađź”±I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was at the hospital. The machinery and everything. Oh God! Why do I feel a bit empty around my lower abdomen.I was worn out and felt weak. Too weak to sit up or do anything. I can't believe I survived the torture earlier. I'm still alive after the pains and bleeding.I don't want to leave this beautiful world yet. So, I'm really grateful that I made it all.There was some wires and strings attached to my body and a thin transparent line placed across my face.The door opened afterwards and a doctor walked in accompanied with two nurses."Good morning, queen Alicia. You should be grateful that the surgery went well and we were able to save your life" The man said and scribbled something on the paperboard he was holding.I gulped and tried to recover my voice. My throat was a bit sore and stung

It was him - staring at me.I yawned before sitting up on the bed.I can't believe I slept off last night and without having dinner.How insecure of me.He also sat up and kissed me on my left cheek.I gazed down feeling uncomfortable. I told him about the baby. I actually had the urge to do it.Oh goodness!"Won't you kiss me back?" He asked mutely.I remained quiet for a while.I'm not sure of what next to say or do."How do you feel about the baby?" I asked in a flaccid voice."There's no word for how I feel. What else cou
