The rain came down on Shawn and Agnus while they were still in town and they had to change their plans which led them back to the Hillroge estate. Shawn helped carry Agnus’s items into the estate where a servant took over and helped her carry everything to her room.
Shawn went up to Joshua’s office to check up on him but overheard Joshua and his father talking about Aldridge and Anthony. Joshua was speaking in Anthony’s favour but he could tell that the Duke was not happy at all.
Shawn minded his business and went to the master chamber and cleaned himself up. He walked back into the chamber with a towel wrapped around his waist and flopped down on the bed. He closed his eyes and without expecting it, he fell asleep.
After Agnus settled down she went into the office disrupting the father and son con
Aldridge walked into the servants quarters in the castle dressed in all white, his face looked like death and his orange hair grey from age. His skin was torn in place looking like it was dried and peeling.He silently opened the door to the queen’s lady-in-waiting’s room and closed the door behind him.He walked over to the bed where she was and gazed at her with a sneer then sat down on her feet at the edge of the bed and started rocking back and forth while cradling his arms as if holding his son. A hum left his lips while his eyes darted around the room like he was crazy.Lynette’s body started twitching as she grew conscious and heard the humming. Her eyes were still closed and she was confused as she tried to think what it could be. Then came the movement at her feet and the hairs on her body
One servant rushed to Lynette’s room after receiving the terrible news. She knocked on the door many times, but there was no answer and worried. She stepped back from the door and stepped her foot against the door in a kick and it opened.Lynette was asleep on the bed but hanging off of the bed almost as though she was about to fall. She rushed up to the bed, calling her name, but she wasn’t waking up. She looked to the side and saw the jug of water.Picking it up, she chucked it at Lynette, who immediately yelled at the top of her lungs and sat up on the bed. She looked at the woman in front of her and said, “Margrett, what happened? Why did you throw me wet?!”“You weren’t waking up! Lynette, something terrible, happened to the queen. She is injured, and she has been calling for
Shawn arrived at the castle with his sons and their nurses. They were led to the garden where the king and prince Sterling were already waiting. The king stood up with a smile, “Welcome Shawn.”His hands were already out, wanting his grandson from Agnus, but Lilith walked over and handed him Matthias. The king looked at her confused then frowned but she bowed and said, “Master Anthony is currently sick and will be cranky all day.”The king looked over at Shawn, who couldn’t be bothered by his anger. He nevertheless took Matthias, who glared at him.Shawn and Sterling shook hands. He sat down with the nurses by his side and looked at the king, who was already pulling Matthias’s cheeks. “Your sons have certainly grown, especially Anthony. Why is he so big?” He asked after settling Matthias on his left thigh.Shawn looked at Anthony and smiled. He was proud to have a son that was like him
In the carriage back to the estate, Alfred Hillroge looked at his son-in-law. Shawn was holding Matthias, who was grumpy and refusing to sleep. Shawn could feel the intense stare towards him and as much as he tried to ignore it, Lord Hillroge would not stop staring unless he fell asleep, which was not soon.Sighing, he finally turned his attention to the old man and asked, “The whole you are trying to envision on my face will not appear.”Alfred scoffed and folded his arms over his chest, asking, “So the prince is alive?”Shawn shook his head. “No, whatever made you think that?”“Shawn, his majesty asked when would they see him and you said when he wants to be seen, what was that all about?” He asked.Shawn rubbed his head and looked at the girls beside him. They looked at him knowingly but couldn’t give him a lie to tell.“Shawn, do not lie to me. We are alre
Joshua walked into the restaurant and saw Prince Sebastian. He frowned, staring at him, then sat down on the empty seat and greeted, “Good afternoon.”Prince Sebastian smirked and said, “Welcome.”“What do you want from me?” Joshua asked, going straight to the point.Prince Sebastian sat up straight and crossed his left leg over his right and said, “I called you here to tell you I plan on taking your husband off of your hands.”Joshua’s brows knitted together. Anger swelled on his face and he stood up. He slammed his hands on the table and said, “You bitch! What makes you think you can be in Shawn’s arms?”Prince Sebastian smirked, “Ginger hair, blue eyes and good in bed. All I have to do is do what you did by seducing him and then when I have him in bed, all I have to do is suck the life out of him and he is mine.”“You son of a
Alfred looked at Shawn who was drink tea. They were in the house where Prince Christian was held captive till to date and he asked, “If you knew that Prince Christian was behind the murders, why not turn him in?”Christian looked at Alfred and said, “That is what I want to know too.”They both turned to Shawn and could tell that he was off somewhere else. Christian looked at Alfred, saying, “Do you know, my brother-in-law never invites guests over unless it involves him killing someone.” He turned to Shawn and asked, “Who are you planning to kill today?”Shawn’s mind returned when he had the chatter and looked at Christian. “You speak too much for someone who is mentally ill.”“At least I know I am. You are a killer too, yet you do not admit to it,” he spat at him.Shawn stared at him, saying, “I sacrifice what I need to and when I need to.&rd
Joshua looked at Hudson, confused, as he walked towards him. He placed Anthony down next to his brother and stood up. Hudson bowed his head, “I am sorry to have disturbed your morning.”“It’s alright. Shawn isn’t here,” he said.Hudson nodded his head, “I know. He sent me here to pick you up.”Raising a brow, he asked, “What for?”“I cannot explain, my lord. You will see when you get there,” Hudson explained.Joshua nodded his head. He looked for the nurses but they weren’t in sight and said to the majordomo, “I’ll be back as soon as I can, please make sure that Lilith and Agnus tend to the children.”“Certainly,” he said and picked the boys up. Hudson glanced at Anthony briefly and saw that he was glaring at the majordomo and shook his head, amused. Anthony was just like Shawn, but silently.*&ldq
*Knock knock*Shawn knocked on the door. It soon opened and a familiar face looked at Shawn. She bowed her head, then stepped aside for him to come in.Shawn walked in and stopped at the family room entrance. There Sebastian was sitting on one couch enjoying a bowl of ice-cream. He smiled when he saw Shawn at the entrance and said, “Feel free to come in handsome.”Shawn walked over to him and sat down. “Shall I bring master a cup of tea?” The servant asked him.“No, a glass of whiskey,” Sebastian answered.Shawn did not complain. He needed something powerful right now and Sebastian knew it or just liked to get him drunk then drag him to bed.Sebastian placed the bowl on the table after she left then rubbed his hand up and down Shawn’s thigh asking, “So what brings you here?”“I’m here to talk about your mother,” Shawn said, placing his hand
