Catherine was well aware of the strict royal system in Australia. The expectations placed upon nobles were too extreme, and any misstep could result in public ridicule and embarrassment. She couldn't help but imagine the whispers and laughter that would ensue if word got out about her day-long nap. It was going to be a big deal, and the media would eat it up. The thought of becoming a laughingstock in the kingdom made her stomach churn with anxiety. ‘Oh, my God. I’m fucked!’ There were a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and if this gets out, she could as well step down as the King’s Fiancée. As a journalist and former newspaper editor, Catherine could already imagine the thousands of humiliating front-page headlines. “Lady Catherine Is Lazy And unfit to rule!” “Does Australia Needs A Lazy queen?” “The Jones Girl Is A Downgrade For A Queen.” “The Royal Sleep Scandal: Lady Catherine's Day-Long Nap Raises Eyebrows in the Kingdom! “The Future Queen Who Snoozed!” “Sleeping B

After watching her for quite some time, Shawn's hands moved with a delicate touch, helping her remove her clothes, shoes, and jewelry till she was left with just her inner, comfy wear. He let out a frustrating sigh as he gazed at Catherine's delicate figure, peacefully asleep. The way her body curved and the gentle rise and fall of her chest immediately stirred a desire within him that he couldn't ignore.The softness of her skin and the way her hair cascaded over her shoulders all added to her allure.

But as much as he was captivated by Catherine's beauty,

Catherine couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as King Shawn's thumb continued to caress her cheek. She felt herself leaning into his touch, her eyes fluttering closed for a brief moment.She wanted to back away but couldn't find the will to. This man had a way of making her weak in the knees. She was unable to think straight.She had been extra anxious and apprehensive ever since she stepped into the grand palace, waiting for the worst to happen.

She didn't know what and how to reply to that at all. The fact that his fingers were also gently caressing her face while he stared deeply and lovingly into her eyes was also something she wasn’t expecting.“What's wrong?”“Uh?” Catherine asked with a puzzled expression on her face.“Your face… Are you sick?”“What's wrong with my face, Your Majesty?”“It’s extra flushe

King Shawn emerged, looking delighted as he saw Catherine leaning against the bookshelves. He closed the door to the study behind him and walked over to her, his gaze never leaving her pretty face. Catherine's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and she couldn't help but smile despite the circumstances. She prayed that he wouldn't notice the change in her mood, so she spoke first. “What was the urgent situation about, My lord?” “Nothing serious, My dear. I already handled it,” Shawn explained, his deep voice filled with relief and exhaustion while his huge figure hovered over her. "I apologize for the interruption, my Dear." Catherine's disappointment melted away, replaced by a surge of understanding and empathy. "No need to apologize, Shawn. Duty comes first, after all." The King reached out, gently cupping her cheek with his hand. "Thank you for your understanding," he replied, his thumb caressing her skin. His gaze fell on her cute, plump lips, the desire to kiss her almo

Catherine's steps were light as she approached the ornate double doors to the King’s study. She wondered how long it would take for him to handle the sudden emergency. She couldn't wait for them to get back to their kiss and brewing romance right where they left off. She pushed the doors open gently, not wanting to disturb the sanctity of his space. The room seemed to radiate an air of sophistication and mystique that drew her in. It was dimly lit, with the soft glow of a chandelier casting intricate shadows across the mahogany furniture. As soon as she entered, her gaze settled on the large desk, where an assortment of papers and quills lay scattered, a testament to the countless hours he spent attending to his kingly duties. Catherine’s eyes wandered around, looking for something to keep her busy till he returned. She walked over to the shelves. It was lined with volumes of old books and various artifacts from different corners of the kingdom. Memories of their last visit to his

Time seemed to slow down as they locked eyes, both hesitant and eager to bridge the gap between them. They both leaned in, hearts pounding, ready to seal their lips with a tender kiss, just like the one they had before on the rooftop. But just before their lips could meet, a loud distant sound echoed through the hallways, interrupting their sweet moment. It was the unmistakable sound of urgent footsteps approaching. They pulled away, startled, and turned to see four palace guards rushing toward them. Shawn's hands slipped from her chin and the wall as he straightened, his expression quickly transforming from desire to resolve. Catherine took a step back, trying to regain her composure, her heart still racing from the nearness of his touch. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment at being caught in such an intimate moment. The guards skidded to a halt before the couple, their eyes widening as they took in the scene. Their surprised expressions were evident, as this was the first time

Chapter 1: Broken-Hearted Girl
Catherine Jones stood frozen in the doorway, her heart pounding in her chest. The scene before her seemed surreal, yet painfully real. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the sight of Tristan and Evelyn, her stepsister, tangled in each other's arms on the king-sized bed. A few hours ago, she’d gotten an anonymous text message from someone who said her boyfriend was in a hotel with some girl. The text contained the hotel room number and some additional details. However, she didn’t want to believe it. She had trusted Tristan too much and almost deleted it, thinking it was some sort of sick joke. But something inside her urged her to confront her fears head-on. And now, she wished she had never entered that room. The betrayal cut through her like a knife, shattering the illusion of trust she had built with Tristan over three years. Her voice trembled as she found her words. "Tristan... How... How could you?"
