Aldridge helped Shawn pack his things and Shawn could tell that Aldridge wasn't happy that he was leaving. He smiled and cupped Aldridge's face while he sat on the bed and looked down at him. He smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Aldridge sighed and said, "I am going to be lonely without you."

"I can always stay and leave another time," Shawn suggested.

Aldridge shook his head, "No, I want you to do this now so that you can have you all to myself."

Shawn chuckled and pecked him on the lips, "Everything will be okay, I will be back as soon as I can."

Aldridge was not assured at all about this whole thing. The moment he told Shawn about his decision, things seemed to be off with his thoughts.

Shawn hugged him from behind and kissed him on the cheek,

Just the other day he came home in haste and lied about being at Julius's home when Julius's mother clearly stated that he was not there."Alice shrugged and made her way out while she said, "It is all in your head Berene and what Bradley does is none of your concern. He is MY son and not yours."Berene turned around and yelled, "But he is the son of this household and I am the mother of this household," but when she finished her sentence, she saw that Alice was nowhere to be seen.Alice went o

He made his way to a window that he was familiar with. He knocked on the window and hid away. Soon the door opened and a boy with blond hair and green eyes opened it. Bradley popped up from nowhere greeting, “Hey!” The boy yelped and stepped back shocked, “Bradley what are you doing here?” Bradley climbed through the window and closed it.

Shawn went to see if the guests were still here but they had left and he was very happy that they were not around especially because they were not the crowd he was used to with their royal noses in the air.

    Aldridge immediately pulled back and looked down at Shawn’s lying figure. His heart was beating erratically as he stared on dumbfounded at what he could make out of Shawn's face. His mind started racing as anxiety built up in his system and the tears flooded his eyes along with his erratically beating heart.He did not know where to start and wished that he was the one to have explained his actions to him but now what was he to do and he knew for a fact that what Shawn heard must have been from Mr Wright's mouth who knew somewhat of the truth but then again, what was the actual truth?“Shawn I…” He started but was cut off by Shawn who flung the sheets off of him and sat up on the bed with a glare on his tired face.Shawn stood up and turned around to face Aldridge in the dark, “Aldridg

He had been crying all night and as loud as he cried calling for help, Shawn did not come in to comfort him which made him feel even worse about what he did and going as far as thinking he deserved all of this after not consideration how Shawn would feel.Aldridge looked around the chamber and saw that he was not in his chamber but in Shawn’s chamber that they barely used but he clearly recalled Shawn leaving to this chamber last night and him falling asleep in his own.He moved the comforter off of him and heard a clank. He did not take it to mind and climbed off the bed but heard an even louder clank as something hit the floor.

Shawn was inside, holding his hand while Miriam and the servants were rushing.“One last push and baby number two will be out,” Miriam assured them as she held half of the baby’s body in her arms.Joshua looked at Shawn and felt dizzy. He took in a deep breath as he squeezed his hand, then pushed hard.Miriam guided the baby out and quickly cut the umbilical cord. She wrapped him in a towel and handed him to Lilith, saying, “Make sure they are clean.”Shawn wiped the sweat off Joshua’s forehead and kissed him on the lips, “You did so well.”Joshua forced a smile and said, “Shawn, you know I love you, righ

    The sun was setting and just as they thought they would have another quiet day, there was a knock on the door. Miriam was closest to the door and answered. She saw Richard standing there holding his daughter, and it looked like he had cried.At his feet were five bags, and it was as if she travelled into the past when he would sleepover. Richard looked at her sadly and asked, “Is there an extra room for us?”“I’ll let them know you are here. For now, you can leave your bags there and follow me to the family room.” She said and closed the door when he stepped in.Following her to the family room, he saw Prince Christian sitting by the fireplace, reading a book. Christian looked up and raised a brow. He looked at Miriam, who introduced who he was, then ignored Richard.She went to let Shawn and the others know he was here.

He walked past Shawn too after greeting and went inside to warm up.Alice stepped out of the carriage and looked at the beautiful estate covered in snow and when she laid eyes on Shawn, her eyes watered as she smiled.

    “I need to think this through,” Sebastian said, rubbing his forehead. He felt like crying, not even he could pull off something like this and in the end, she was not even executed. He looked over at Aldridge and asked, “So, did you kill my mother?”“I don’t know what the fuck she tried to do after I closed the cell door. She jumped off the bed and fell straight to earth,” he said.“So she really died like I suspected,” he confirmed.Shawn turned to Joshua, who was beyond angry and said, “Joshua, I know you disagree with the affairs I have and with what I do, but that is just how I am and I will never change. Even when I was with Aldridge, I let you walk into my life and it was not only you. But what I can assure you is that everyone that matte

I even had to buy new clothes to hide this,” he complained.Covering himself, he walked out of the estate and to the carriage. He looked at Joann Coachman and asked, “Where do you plan to take me?”“I am only instructed to pick you up, not give you any information,” she said and faced the front. Joshua stuck his head out of the carriage and said, “Hurry or we will leave you behind!”Sebastian looked at him surprised and asked, “Why the hell are you here?”“Oh, it disgusts me too that you are going to be in here with my children. Just hurry so we can go see what Shawn wants us to,” he said, and pulled his head back in.Climbing instead, Sebastian saw that Agnus and Lilith were in

    Shawn’s heavy footsteps could be heard hitting against the concrete floor. He made his way down to the last cell and turned on his heels. He glared into the cell at the queen, who looked up at him blankly.“Are you comfortable?” He asked her.She lowered her gaze and said, “Ever since you entered our lives, things have gone downhill for the royal family.”Shawn raised a brow and smirked. “No, the moment you tried to kill Aldridge the first time, things went downhill for you. Aldridge never died once I came into his life.”She scoffed and lifted her gaze. Standing up, she walked towards the bars and said, “But he finally died, didn’t he?”Shawn stared into her eyes an
