Drake's POV

“What?” Naomi screamed in anger as Apex broke the news of us not getting married anymore to her. “Why would you say that, father? I thought we agreed on this.”

“Drake and I just spoke about it and we decided he can marry whoever it is he wants to get married to. If he agrees to make you his second wife, then we can think about it but for now, he doesn't.” Apex said, gesturing at me who was sitting on one of the sofas in his office.

“Drake, please don't do this.” She said, walking over to me as she sat next to me. “I have done everything to be on your good side and make you love me, but you still don't? I have tried everything in my power and you're not helping me. If it's that, you should just try reciprocating my feelings for just one week and you can decide.”

“I'm not interested,” I replied and I could tell she was angry but she still tried talking her way to my heart.

“Please… Drake, please. I love you and don't want to lose you.” She pleaded and looked back at Apex

    Adrian's POV“Kill her?” Drake asked, looking at me in shock. “That will be the war you're asking for Adrian.” “Do you possibly think I haven't thought of that at all? I have. They want me to do something wrong so they can hold it against me and I'll give them the chance without them even knowing I was the one.” I replied, looking out the window. “So what did you and Apex conclude on?” “I'll be flying to Seat of Apex with Candice this weekend.” He said, his gaze focused on the road. “I'm yet to tell her we're leaving together though. I want to get engaged to her before leaving.” “Don't you think that's too early? You guys just got back together a few weeks ago.” I asked him. “She would understand. We can continue getting to know each other. If I don't get engaged to her, Apex will find a way to let her break up with me. And getting engaged here in the Seat of Rossi under your watch, he wouldn't want to directly cancel what you've joined.” Drake said and I hummed. “So you're using

    Camila's POVAs I walked out of the bathroom, cleaning my hair with a towel my eyes fell on my phone. A call was coming in and the phone was vibrating. I walked over to it and answered the unknown number. “Hello?”“Camila.” A masculine voice came from the other side of the phone. “No need for you to ask who this is. If you want your mother alive and safe, pay us up.”“What… what are you saying?” I asked, trying to suppress the panic I was feeling. “I'll mail you the address you should bring the money to and you should do that alone.” He said before hanging up and I hurriedly dressed up, rushing out of my room. “Where are you heading to, your majesty?” Quinn asked as I dashed past her but I wasn't able to reply and just rushed out of the building. Luckily, one of the guards who had brought our groceries was around and I could use his car. “Your majesty, please where are you heading to…” He asked as I got into the driver's seat before he could. I drove out of the mansion at full spee

    Eliza's POV“What? This is Camila's mother?” I asked as Naomi showed the picture of the woman in bed to me. She looked strangely familiar and I knew I'd seen her even before I met Camila. “She looks very familiar.” “That is not the problem now. The man has Camila where we want her to be and with the money.” Naomi said with a small smile. I wondered what exactly she wanted the money for since she had enough already but I didn't ask and just stared at the old lady's picture. “I'll get back to you,” I said as I walked out of the hall to reach Alan. “Alan.”“What's up, babe.” He said his panting slightly. I could already tell he was busy having a sexcapade with one of his lovers. “Are you coming over?”“No.” I blandly replied. “I sent you a picture, check if she looks familiar to you too,” I said to him before hanging up and after a few minutes, he called me back. “I've seen her once in the palace before Claire died.” He replied not seeming to concentrate on the conversation we were cu

    Adrian's POVI watched as the men headed towards Camila with someone in the bed. “Get ready men,” I said to the communication device as they all aimed their guns at the men.“Who sent you?” Camila asked, standing her ground before them and they all chuckled as one of them snatched the money from her. “How did you know about my mother?”“Do you think we'll let you know about that, you wanna be queen.” The one looking like their leader said and anger surged through my entire body as he disrespected her. “And you've come here, we have to give you a thank-you gift, don't you think?”One of the men suddenly grabbed her aiming to drag her into the house but before I could give any orders, she kicked the guy and he fell on his knees, grabbing his middle area. A smile appeared on my lips as I leaned back to see my queen's feisty era. “Should we do anything, your majesty?” The guards asked but I shook my head negatively. “I want to see what she'll do next,” I said, looking back at Camila who

    Drake's POVI looked at the old woman in the bed with utter curiosity. Camila looked nothing like her but there was someone who looked exactly like her. And I knew Candice would know what I was talking about instantly.“Don't let His Majesty see her till I say so,” I said to the nurse who nodded her head as I walked out of the room and headed towards Candice's but she was in Camila's room. As soon as she saw me, she excused herself from Camila and walked over to me with a raised brow. “Is something wrong?” She asked me and I lifted her in my arms, throwing her over my shoulders as she let out a loud squeal. “I don't have the strength to be in bed right now, Drake.”“Who told you I want to have sex?” I asked her with a low chuckle as I placed her on the bed, straddling and teasing her. “Then why are we in this position?” She asked, her cheeks turning red as she blushed hard. “Can't I stay with you using any position I want?” I asked her, burying my face in her neck as I trailed kiss

    Candice's POVI stared at Drake with a pale look on my face. If he already figured it out, that means Adrian already knows about it. “Answer me, Candice, please.” He said with a worried look on his face. “She is Claire?”“Does Adrian know about this?” I asked him and he shook his head negatively. “So she is Claire. You knew about this and you didn't tell me?” He asked and I shook my head, trying to make him understand me. “Her mother asked me to keep this a secret from everyone. You would notice I didn't want to meet Adrian since I arrived from work.” I tried explaining to him. But of course, I was unable to escape meeting him and I had to lie to the duo that Camila wasn't Claire. “If Eliza realizes Camila is Claire, she'll most definitely kill her,” I said to him and he looked at me with a raised brow. Of course, none of them knew the reason behind her death in the first place. “Did Eliza have anything to do with Claire's death?” He asked me and I nodded gently. “Why did you keep

    Adrian's POVI walked back into Camila's room and I found her asleep in bed. I knew she hadn't eaten anything but at the same time stressed, so I decided to go make something for her. My phone started to buzz in my pocket as I walked down the stairs. “What's wrong?” I asked the caller on the other side of the phone. I had asked some men to keep an eye on Eliza just to get her locations once in a while when needed. “We lost her, your majesty.” They said with trembling voices. A groan of frustration came from my lips as I looked around the room in annoyance. “She seemed to be heading somewhere hastily and the person called her with the private phone of the house she's in. It might have something to do with her majesty, your majesty.” “See if you can still catch up to her and find her in any way. I paid you to keep an eye on her and not do this nonsense.” I said through gritted teeth. “We're so sorry, your majesty, we'll fix this right away…’’ Before they could complete the sentence,

    Adrian's POVI didn't know how to feel or what to say. I just wanted to run over to her and pull her into a long-deserved hug. Drake seemed to get my thoughts and he spoke up immediately. “She doesn't remember anything and if you try to bring them up, it might be harmful to her health.” He said and I looked at him with a raised brow. “Camila already has a hard time with the memories coming back. You putting it in her to remember quickly will affect her.” Candice explained and I didn't know what to do. A wave of emotions come to me and anger is included. “What did Eliza do to her?” I asked Candice who looked like she didn't know about it at all. “I'll kill that stupid whore…”“Calm down, Adrian. Killing her is not the solution right now. Let her see Claire with her own eyes. She'll know it's the end of her already so she won't try any stupid thing.” Candice said. Although what she said did make sense, I just had that itching to go kill her but I knew it was war and my plan wasn't per

We've been through a lot together, haven't we? We've faced through the plans of Eliza (metaphorically, more like we are watching it while we read 😂.), dived deep into the deep end of human emotions and emerged on the other side with our hearts strangely full, if not a bit bruised. 🙏.. 🥺

    Claire was laying on the bed, in Adrina's arms after the whole day of going through everything Rossi had left for Isabella and the male child he wishes Claire to have, they decided to go to bed to avoid stressing her so much.As Claire laid there, she felt a sharp pain from her sleep and suddenly groaned out in pain. She quickly opened her eyes and she instantly knew it was time for her baby to come. “Adrian.” She called him, tapping him gently and he sprang up. “It's time.” She said and he immediately lifted her in his arms, calling out to the maids outside. “Get her bags and everything. Place it in the car and ask Quinn to drive it over to the hospital.” Adrian commanded and the maid nodded, hurriedly doing as she was asked. Adrian drove her to the hospital at full speed as she groaned in pain. He couldn't bear to see her in pain and he wondered if this was the same pain she went through when she was about to give birth to Isabella and he wasn't there from the start. “It's okay ba

    “Finally, everything seems fresh and refreshing.” Claire stretched as she touched her already swollen belly, obvious she would be due anytime soon. Adrian came up behind her, handing her a plate of fruit which she had requested for. “Here you go babe.” He said, kissing her cheeks gently. “Thank you.” She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck even though her stomach tried to get in the way. “You look even more beautiful day after day. I'm envious.” He pouted and she laughed as he carried her in her arms. She was amazed by her strength to carry her even though she was nine months pregnant already and it was difficult for her to lift herself up.“The more beautiful I become, the more handsome and strong you become, I'm so jealous.” She pouted and he placed her on the chair, kissing her pouted lips. “No need to be envious. It's all yours, baby.” He said, flexing his muscles and she could help but giggle at him cuteness. “So do you think we'll be having a baby boy or another Isabe

    "I think we are done here." I watched the man in suit seated at the other end of the table voiced out before he stood up.He stacked up a few papers on the table before placing them into a black briefcase.The meeting had been concluded finally and shortly after, Eliza was apprehended by the security men close by.Soon, we exited the meeting room, Claire and I standing close to each other as the weight of the recent events hung heavy in the air. Eliza's cries echoed down the corridor as the security men dragged her away while everyone watch with utmost disgust."Let me go!!" She protested, while struggling as hard as she could to break free from their hold. "This is not how you treat a pregnant lady, this is not how you should treat me."Her protests fell on deaf ears as she soon started claiming to be pregnant, but after all the deception and betrayal, it was hard to trust anything that came out of her mouth.I turned to my side, urging Claire to leave but it was then my attention w

    The elders who were four most trusted people that Rossi had placed on that seat of power before dying sat there with the officials looking at them in shock. None of them has ever met them so it was a surprise to see them here. After waiting for almost thirty minutes, Adrian walked into the meeting hall with Claire and Isabella next to him. They all bowed and greeted him including the elders and he bowed back in respect. They all sat there and the officials whispered to each other wondering whatbwas going on and why the elders were there. Most of them feared for all they did wrong because Adrian was no longer predictable and he could get any of them out of their position with just a snap of his fingers while the elders were seated. “It is a great honor to have you back with us, Queen Claire. We didn't know you're the same as Camila. Our actions towards her was just to save your legacy and making sure not just anyone can sit on your throne.” The head of the officials laughed nervousl

    My heart was beating very fast as I stood in the middle of the room, Eliza was standing at the entrance with a gun in her hand, she had it pointed in my face, any fucking move from me could end my life. "So you are alive, you just didn't know how to die" Eliza yelled at me, she still had the same look of anger and wore years back even now. She just hated me for no reason, from the first day she met me and even more that my face has changed, she still hates me "Eliza please drop the gun and let's talk" I pleaded and she threw her head back and laughed. "I should drop the gun and allow us have a conversation? it's not going to happen sunshine, not in a million years so just forget about it" She yelled I flinched and then tried to stop my legs from shaking, I didn't want to die yet, I had just found out that I am pregnant again, I now have the chance to love my daughter for who she is, and I have my rightful place in the kingdom as Adrian's queen. I don't want to die now, I have for

    Claire's POVEveryone sat in front of us whispering and looking around like they didn't understand what was going on which they didn't. I couldn't believe Adrian called a huge amount of people just telling them to Camila turned out to be Claire. Who would even believe that story because I definitely would not believe it. I just watched as everyone looked at me in utter curiosity before the whole hall settled down in silence. “I want to thank everyone for taking their time to be here live to watch me make my announcement. I know you're all confused by who is this sitting on my queen's throne.” Adrian said and the whole hall became quiet. Everyone looked at me and I just stared into a distance waiting for Adrian to explain everything to them. As he did everyone gasped and oohed as they looked back at me. They couldn't believe their eyes. Most of them knew me from when I was queen and all I did for the seat and how much King Rossi loved me as his daughter-in-law and couldn't believe

    Claire's POVAll Adrian told me about us meeting again was nothing I understood at all but I felt bad missing an important part for my daughter's life. I don't even remember how I got pregnant again for my husband. “Why did I forget memories of things that happened while I was Camila?” I asked Adrian, not knowing why everything in my life was becoming confusing for even me to understand. “The doctor doesn't understand either but you should be able to remember in a few weeks or days even,” Adrian said with a smile on his face, planting a kiss on my cheeks. A smile appeared on my lips as I felt butterflies fluttering in my tummy. I can't remember the last time I was kissed by him while I was being me. He led me down the stairs where Candice was standing with Drake next to her, a bright smile on her face. “You look so much like Claire with your black hair,” Candice said, stretching out her hands to touch my hair and I slapped it away with a joking frown. “Of course I'm Claire.

    Tension filled the air as I stared straight at Claire, who in return, stared right back at me.My heart raced with so many mixed feelings as we both stood there, opposite each other."Adrian." Her words finally broke the silence, her voice still sounding like music to my ears. "Is that you, Adrian?""Claire!" I said silently, with a heavy heart. "It's me," I responded as I walked closer to her.I placed my hand on her face, feeling the warmth on my skin as I stared at her face."I've missed you." She responded, reciprocating by brushing her cheek over my palm."It's you, isn't it?" "Yeah, it is me." Though I could see her standing before me, I couldn't believe that it was the Claire I knew.Everything felt so unreal being close to her as her memories had returned.I watch as Claire fidgets with the hem of her shirt, her eyes searching mine for answers she can't quite articulate."I still can't believe it's you." I finally spoke up, my voice soft yet laced with a hint of disbelief. "
