last update Last Updated: 2024-01-31 05:22:42

Eliza's POV

I stepped out of bed, feeling pain all over. I turned over to look at Alan who was still asleep after our intense love-making session that lasted all evening. “You are just a pawn in my game, Alan. You can be used and dumped at any time.” I thought to myself as I pulled my robe on and headed to the balcony.

I needed to find a way to get closer to my goal because right now, it doesn't seem like I am at all and I do not want any of that. No one should tell me what I should do or what I shouldn't do.

I sipped my wine gently as I looked at the brightly lit city ahead. I will not only ruin Adrian's chance of making Seat of Rossi better, I'll ruin the whole of Rossi.

Of course, I do love Adrian, I have been in love with him for a while till I realized the whole reason my mother died in the first place was for his mother to live. Why can't his mother die instead? After she died, it was not enough for me. He didn't feel the amount of pain and humiliation I felt when my mother d

    Drake's POVI got out of my car and headed into my apartment. I needed to stay at Seat of Rossi for the night before heading back to the ladies in the mansion. As I pushed open the apartment door, I could already tell someone was inside. A frown appeared on my face as I walked in and found Naomi standing in the kitchen, dressed too casually in a tank top and bum shorts under her apron. As soon as she realized my presence, she turned to look at me. “Babe, you're back.” She calmly said, letting go of the spoon and she walked over to me with a small awkward smile. “I'll help you with that.” She tried coming to pull off my tie but I shrugged her off, heading straight towards the room. I just don't know why, I didn't like her one bit. Although I tried standing her I couldn't help but be irritated at times. “I made dinner for you. Please let's eat together.” She said and I nodded before walking into the bathroom. I pulled open the water and it ran down my body in a rush. A sigh of relie

    CAMILA'S POV“Let's take a shower together,” Adrian said, standing behind me as I washed up all the dishes I just used to serve him and Isabella. The last time they came and he asked me to have a baby, we did have enough time to talk about it after I'd decided. I don't know how I would feel about it but if it was for us, I'm ready to have the child. And besides, I have been secretly wondering what it would be like to be a mother. To carry her child that is. I am grateful for Isabella but I wanted the from-birth experience with a child too. “I'll be in the room, waiting.” He said, kissing my cheeks gently before walking up. I looked back at Candice who was keeping Isabella occupied already so I just walked up the stairs to meet him inside. It was already late in the evening and it was the perfect time to seduce him. I chuckled to myself and walked into the room where he was already undressed and in his robe. “Do not come close till we get into the bathroom,” I said teasingly and h

    CAMILA'S POV I woke up the following morning after a long quiet peaceful sleep. I knew I hadn’t slept that long in like forever. As I tried to turn in bed, I noticed my arm was around someone's waist and when I looked up, the most handsome sight of Adrian’s face met mine.His sleeping face was damn sexy and not only that, it was also arousing. As I admired his beautifully sculpted face, the scenes of the previous night flooded my head, making me cover my face in embarrassment. All the sounds he made, he's pleas made me whimper. I didn't expect it to feel like this despite it not being our first time, he made me feel like it was. We had sex till almost dawn and we had it in every corner of the room and I could tell someone would have heard us from outside."What's making you blush early this morning sweetheart?" Adrian asked in his husky voice which made the butterflies in my tummy run wild. "Nothing… Good morning." I gulped nervously as I stepped out of the bed but he was quick to

    Eliza's POV“Eliza, when is this plan you are waiting to implement coming to place?” My father's voice came from the other side of my door as he pushed my door open angrily.I was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, applying makeup on my face and that seemed to anger him. “You're just sitting here, so relaxed about this issue. I don't think you value your life that much once Adrian realizes our plan.” He said and I looked at him with a raised brow. “If you have a better plan, please do let me know,” I replied sarcastically as I dropped the lipgloss I was applying on my lips back on the table. “You planned to get pregnant and now after your plan, you have nothing more to say. I do it.” “You ungrateful brat. Do something quick about this or I will have to show you the reason I am your father and what will you do about it? Nothing. Because without my influence, you won't be in the palace, living like you already are the queen.” He spat angrily and I reserved my comment before turnin

    Eliza's POV“So she's the Beth you said is coming over.” Naomi stood up and walked over to me with a bright smile and pulled me into a hug. I looked at her in a bit of irritation which she ignored. “Get her something to drink or eat, Diva.” “You've got some nerves bossing me around, Naomi. You're not yet a Mrs Apex so I'm still the legit Apex daughter here.” Diva replied, sitting on the nearby sofa as she looked up at the old man sitting on the throne-like chair with a cigar in his mouth. “She's here pops, anything else you want me to do?”“No. You can take the day off.” He said to her. “It's 3 in the afternoon. The day is already over.” Diva replied with a scoff before walking out of the meeting room. “Have your seat, Beth. We have a lot of things to talk about.” He said, standing up as I walked towards him. “It's nice seeing her don't you think?”“I don't. I'm only here because I need reasons on why you have me here.” I replied, sitting comfortably on the sofa on his left as they

    Camila's POVI lay in bed feeling all weak and tired. For the past three days now I've been feeling the same dizziness and lightheadedness I feel whenever I am having dizzy spells but this time, it's more tiring than it used to be. The headaches were slight but still contributed to my fatigue.“Are you sure I shouldn't tell Adrian to call the doctor?” Candice asked as she walked into the room with a tray that had a bowl of soup for me and a glass of juice. “It's been three days and all you've been doing is laying in your bed like a chicken.” “Haha very funny.” I rolled my eyes with sarcasm in my tone. “No need to worry him about it.” I sat up in bed gently and took the bowl of soup. I stared right at the owl of soup not having appetite at all for even a taste. “Any you've stopped eating too. Are you sure the sickness won't get worse?”“I eat like a starved human every midnight, Candice. I'm not getting any worse. I want to eat something but I don't have the appetite.” I said lifting

    ADRIAN'S POVI was still in shock when Camila confirmed she was pregnant. I knew she would eventually have a child for me but it was just so overwhelming. She looked at me with tears in her eyes as she hugged me gently. “Adrian…” She almost choked on her tears as she hugged me even more tightly.“I'm so glad.” I said with my voice just above a whisper as I hugged her even more tightly. I was so glad I had the chance to be the father to another. However, I missed all of Isabella's newborn stage because Claire left while she was still pregnant. When we concluded her coming back after almost one year of pregnancy, she died in a car crash. I would do everything in my power to make sure I protect Camila and our child. “I promise you, Camila,” I said taking her hands. “I'll protect you with everything I have,” I promised her and she just pulled me into another hug, sobbing in my arms. I could tell she was overwhelmed by this and so was I. I knew Isabella too would be so happy to know she

    Eliza's POVI sat comfortably on the sofa in my room in the palace as some of the maids gave me manicures and pedicures. A facial mask was also on my face when ok of my maids walked into the room. “Lady Eliza.” She said and I hummed. “His Majesty is holding a general meeting to make a special announcement in the hall in thirty minutes.” I secretly wondered what it might be. “Be done with the manicures as soon as you can. I need to attend the meeting.” I said to them, inwardly smiling. There was no doubt that he would either want to announce an event or make my child the crown prince. I have heard him speak about it to Drake a few times in the past week, although he hadn't told anyone it was my child yet. I put on my best dress and headed towards the hall, surprised to find more than just the palace workers there, but also other guests. They were high-ranked kings and queens of other Seats. “What's going on?” I asked my maid who didn't know what was going on either. There were two

    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 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. "
