CAMILA'S POV

I sat at the coffee table, gently twirling the spoon in my coffee cup as I waited for Eliza and her maid to come here. According to Drake, she comes to this coffee shop every morning, and it was the perfect time to let her know I wasn't going to just leave everything for her.

As I sat there waiting, my phone buzzed gently and I looked at the screen of my phone to see the name I thought I didn't want to see at all. It was my aunt's and I wondered why on earth she was calling me now. I knew if it wasn't for money, it would be something related to that.

“What do you want this time?” I asked, my tone evident that I wasn't enthusiastic about her call at all.

“Is that a way a queen should talk to someone? Do not embarrass this family in the seat of power, Camila.” She said with a low scoff and I tried to hold myself back from hanging up the call and focusing on better things I had to do for the day.

“Do you want me to hang up? You should know by now that I am too busy for y

    ADRIAN'S POVI sat gently in Candice's living room, waiting for Camila and Drake to return. I had asked him to keep an eye on her and search for her while she was with Eliza to avoid anything fishy that Eliza might want to do. “Here.” Candice's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as she placed a glass of juice before me. She sat on the other sofa, folding her legs as she sipped from hers. “Thank you,” I replied before taking the glass and drinking from it. The coldness made me calm a bit. “Candice,” I called her and she looked at me with a raised brow. “Do you still like Drake?” I asked her and she looked at me with her smile wiping off. “Do not get me wrong, I am not asking because he asked me to. But it seems you're still in love with him.” I said calmly and she scoffed.“I didn't say I wanted to permanently break up. I said I just need a break. I traveled and by the time I was back, he was already with another freaking woman. Who does that?” She said with a low sarcastic laugh. “

    Camila's POVI walked out of the apartment hurriedly before walking down the block to get what I needed to visit my mother. She has been in a coma for four years now and Candice took me to her after I recovered from my accident. Although Aunt Pepa wasn't the best woman ever, I had no choice but to let her take care of my mother while I did all the work. I packed all the groceries and took a cab right to the other side of the kingdom where her small building was situated. She was standing on the front porch like she was already waiting for my arrival. As soon as I stepped out of the car, she walked up to me, taking the groceries I had brought from me. “Did you get the meat? I need a lot of it to refresh the energy I have lost on your mother.” She said, making me scoff.“She isn't awake, Aunt Pepa. You are not taking care of her in any way, you are just keeping an eye on her as the nurse does.” I pointed out as I walked past her, heading into the house and straight to the room my moth

    Candice's POV“You should drive with Drake,” Adrian said as we stepped out of the apartment after the men had already packed our bags in the van which left already. I looked at him with a raised brow but he didn't even look back at me. “We'll be taking different routes, so see you at the mansion.” Adrian got into the car with Camila who waved at me with a smug smile before driving off. “Are you getting in?” Drake asked as he ignited the engine of the car. Inwardly rolling my eyes, I got into the car and he drove off at full speed. It's been a while since I have been in the same car with him driving me and deep down I loved it. Adrian's words about Drake being in his current relationship came back to my mind and I wondered if that was true or if both of them were trying to fool me. I didn't say a word and just brought out my phone. “Don't use your phone till we get to the mansion. Adrian already asked you to switch the phones off.” He said with his cold voice and I dropped my phone

    CAMILA'S POVAs I served Candice food, she seemed absent-minded, making me sit before her with a raised brow. “Spill it,” I said to her and she looked up at me with a raised brow. “What's wrong? You don't look like you're in a very good mood.”“It's Drake.” She said and I raised a brow. “What about him?” “I heard him talking with Adrian while I was coming down and now I feel like the bad guy. He has been trying to protect me, Camila. Everything he has been doing even before we separated was to protect me from his family.”I didn't know what she heard but I'm sure it had to do with what Adrian told me on our way here about Drake's family not wanting him to get married or be in a relationship with Candice because she would bring no good to him. “He's also in a relationship with Naomi because of me, but he won't even admit it to my face and has just been avoiding me.” “I understand he feels like he's putting additional pressure on you. He wants to stay away because the reason you both a

    Adrian's POVI drove into the palace compound and the first person I saw was Eliza who was happily standing at the position I would give the car to the guard to take to the car space. “Adrian.” She called in excitement as I stepped out of the car.The strict look on my face made her stop in her tracks as she tried to hide her embarrassment in front of the other guards. “Where have you been? I have news for you.” She said trying to hold my hands but I pushed past her, walking straight to Isabella who was already running up to me. “How are you, my angel?” I said to her with a bright smile, kissing her cheeks lovingly right in front of Eliza who I knew looked pissed. “I'm fine, daddy.” Isabella wrote as she wrapped her arms around my neck. Seeing me, Quinn rushed to me with an expression I could tell was her acting expression. “Your Majesty, it's been weeks now and Her Majesty is not back yet. There's a lot of issues we need her expertise on.” Quinn said, walking behind me as I walked

    ADRIAN'S POV“Your majesty, what do you mean by Lady Eliza should get rid of her child? She is pregnant for you.” The officials asked me as soon as I settled down in the meeting room. Eliza was sitting next to her father, shedding crocodile tears, making her look pitiful. I just leaned into my chair, looking at them all complain and protest. “Please think about this well, your majesty. Lady Eliza is pregnant with your child and who knows if it's a male? We need a king after you, your majesty.”“My daughter can take over the throne after my reign and I just started my reign not up to a year and you're already talking about after? Are you wishing me death?” I raised a brow and he laughed nervously.“Do not take it that way, Your Majesty. We just have to, you know, plan for the future.” She said and everyone nodded in unison. “And I can't let my daughter go through the process of getting rid of the child. You impregnated her, you have to take responsibility for it.” Trace said as he pa

    Eliza's POVI can't believe this is seriously happening. My plan was perfect to trap him but now he is talking about taking the child from me without having me fulfill my duties as its mother. I sincerely don't care about the child being birthed, I could dump the child with him, but I wanted him. “Father,” I whispered to him with a frown and he patted my hand gently. “That is not possible, in my kingdom, a man has to take responsibility for the child and the woman.” My father said I rested back in my seat and Adrian looked at us in silence for a few minutes before speaking up again.“Now I see why you have a lot of concubines. Too bad they all used pregnancy as an excuse to get the title though, because they all end up losing the child.” Adrian said and my father stood up angrily.“How dare you speak to me like that? King Adrian, you have no right to speak about me that way and I would not allow any of it.” Father yelled angrily at Adrian who didn't seem bothered at all. “Why are y

    Candice's POVI walked out of the building to take a breath of fresh air. It's been suffocating inside since the tension between Drake and I grew more and more and it seems to be getting worse with every breath. “You have to make the first move, girl or you'll end up without this man.” Camila's words rang in my head and a sigh escaped my lips as I pulled off my shoes, placing my feet in the cold flowing river. I felt calm and relaxed as a lot of things crossed my mind at the same time. “It wasn't like I didn't know Drake than anyone else. He wouldn't come unless I went to him to tell him he wasn't a burden to me at all. I pulled off my clothes and decided to take a dip since no one was around. I soaked myself underwater for a few minutes and as I swam back up to the surface, I came face to face with Drake who was standing at the bank of the river, staring right at me. His eyes fell on my body and he immediately turned to leave. “Sorry… I'll leave.”“Wait, Drake,” I said and he stop

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 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

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. "
