“You have a new fellow,”The guard who had dragged her in after her name was registered as a criminal said as he pushed her towards a group of women all wearing similar clothes, they all looked at her weirdly as she tried to steady herself but she was much too weak to do anything right, aside from the fact that she has been toasted up and down for hours, she hasn’t even eaten and her body was beyond weak.“You better be ready to talk, neither the king nor anyone else will buy your lies, better speak up and get punished,”The guard said and turned to leave locking her up with the women.It was like having a staring contest with the women, there were five of them in the small room, she knew the living conditions here were bad but she never thought it would be this bad, there was basically nothing in here but worn-out beds that looked more like trash than a bed, a small table and nothing else, the beds bunks looked uncomfortable.“Are you going to introduce yourself or do you want a beat

Chapter 11

“What is your crime? I already know your name is Sophie,”Leah asked and Sophie wondered if she could be honest with her, she did bring her food and was one of the few people that have been nice to her so far, both she and the good old lady were the only people who have been nice to her.“I didn’t commit any crime, I lost something precious, they think I stole it but I didn’t,”She explained.“You worked for an influential family?”“Yes, I worked as a palace maid,”She revealed.“Aha, that explains a lot about why you were sent here directly, that king will be the end of justice in this kingdom, it was worse before he came and he made it, even more, worse, poor and irrelevant people like us can’t get justice because the ruling king only plays fair to the rich.Leah said bitterly which lead Sophie to believe she must have a beef with the king, it was obvious that she hated him.“Why are you so sure the king is evil, I mean yes he is but, you seem to have a deeper hate for him,”Sophie

Chapter 14

Sophie woke up feeling aches all over, she tried to get up from where she lay but realized she couldn’t move her right hand because it appeared to be tied to something, she opened her eyes and the light in the room almost blinded her, she closed her eyes again trying to remember where she was, the last thing she remembered was scrubbing the restroom where all the women as instructed by the self-acclaimed queen of the prison, how did she end up in a lighted room? She tried to remember but nothing came, all she remembered was that she felt dizzy and then there was darkness, she must have passed out or something.“I see you are awake,”She heard a man’s voice say and tried to open her eyes properly, the man was wearing a white robe and for a moment, Sophie feared she must have died in the restroom and she was now in heaven, it took a moment to realize the man was a doctor and when she finally did, she figured out where she was.“Doctor? What happened to me? Why am I here?”She managed to

Chapter 15

Sophie was woke by the sound of someone opening the gate. She sat up immediately in fear. She already knew who it was that was coming to see her and to be honest, she wasn’t ready to meet him, not after the way he looked at her the first time she was brought back to the palace. She wished they have just let her remain in prison, at least that way, she would not have to face the king. Well, he was here now and she should do well to prepare for the worse. “You are awake,”He said when he walked into the room in his commanding voice and presence. Even though she didn’t want to, she stood up and bowed before him, she dared not look at his face. He was dressed in his robes which means the day was over and he was here to make her speak before retiring to bed. A great way to end the day for him but a miserable day for her. She wanted him gone and hoped he would just disappear but he stood by the door. He must be looking at her but she couldn’t look at him. “Your majesty,”She greeted. She

Chapter 16

Lance waited for her to answer his question. She looked shocked that he knew, surely, she didn’t think that the doctors would not tell him? He was the king. She should have known he would be told. “Did I make you speechless? Did you think I won’t find out you are carrying a child?”He asked her. He didn’t know why he was being so lenient with her. he should treat her like he would treat any other person who had the mind to steal from him but she looked so weak and fragile that he couldn’t bring himself to keep yelling at her. Her body was shaking when he got close to her. Even though her voice sounded bold, he could feel the fear in her. Maybe he would have believed her if she wasn’t carrying a child but she was pregnant which could only mean that she had a man who must be the one that she had planned with to steal from him. “Sophie? Who is the father of the child you are carrying? Is he the one that put you up to this? Did you guys, plan to steal from me together and run away? Is t

Chapter 17

Sophie stayed awake long after the king left. She couldn’t fall asleep. She knew he would find out about her being pregnant, at least the doctor had told her he would tell him if it is required, maybe that’s why he had her leave the prison and why he had someone bring her food once she got here. If only he knew whose child it was that she carried. She was sure he would throw her back into the prison and accuses her of lying on his name. She knew better than to ever let him know that the baby she carried belonged to him. The people of Otano would see her as an enemy, they already saw her as one anyway, she stole from them. If the news gets out that she is carrying the king’s child, she would definitely face the worst fate. Either way, she was already facing the worst. How much worse can it get? “What’s going to happen to us, baby?”She let out while holding her tummy, she wished there was a way out of all these, wished the real criminal would be found, and that the king would not sen

Chapter 18

“Patrick, it is all your fault that I didn’t get to meet with that driver guy today, what’s his name?”Lance asked as he took off his clothes one after the other. He had a long day today and only had a fifteen-minute break. He just got out of the meeting and it was past nine pm. The most exhausting meeting he ever had. Those men were hard to get through to, if he ever had thought of persuading and making them see the reason why cutting their earnings, for now, would help a lot would be easy, it flew out of the window less than thirty minutes into the meeting, they didn’t want to listen to him. He hated how there wasn’t any woman among them, it would have been easier to persuade them if they were women because women have softer hearts and are considerate. Maybe it was time to replace all those bastards with intelligent and compassionate women who would put the needs of others in mind like his stepmother had done when she raised him as her son even though her husband cheated on her to

Chapter 19

Sophie was about to fall asleep when she heard the lock on her door turn, she sat up fast knowing it would be the king, he is the only one who would come to find her this late, she knew it was late because she calculated the time between when they had brought her dinner and that was five hours ago so the time was nine or few minutes past ten pm. Sure enough, the door opened and the king staggered into the room, his eyes found her on the bed and she hurriedly got off the bed and bowed in greeting. “Your majesty,”She let out as the smell of alcohol hit her, he was drunk. Why was he here when he was drunk? Did he want to question her so badly that he hadn’t bothered to sober up before coming? He could have slept it off and come to find her tomorrow. The king has a drinking problem and somehow always ends up getting drunk especially when he meets up with important people. It has happened so many times that she concluded that he drinks so that he can face them without fear, not like she
