All Chapters of A Night With The King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lance opened his eyes and looked around. He knew at once that he wasn’t in his room. He felt someone move against him and looked to see Sophie in his arms. She was still asleep. He couldn’t remember much from last night but all he knew was that after he had a drink which was too much, he had tried to fall asleep but he couldn’t so he dragged himself out of bed and somehow ended up by her side with her sleeping in his arms. How he was not feeling anxious waking up by her side was beyond him, instead, he wanted to watch her sleep. He shook his head to clear off the crazy thoughts and calmer refused himself from the bed that was too small for the two of them but somehow, they were able to spend the night together on it. He couldn’t remember what he did or said to her last night, he wasn’t naked but he feared he might have touched her in his drunk state. He should have listened to Patrick and not taken that alcohol but he had been having too many thoughts in his head and had only wanted

The change of environment was so sudden that Sophie didn’t know what to make of it, it makes no sense that the king would want her to be moved out of prison and then he made sure to turn the dungeon into a mini hotel room just for her and now, he moved her to the emerald house. Sophie stood in awe as the guard opened the door to the entrance. “What am I doing here? Why did you bring me here? Is the king here? Is he drunk?”She couldn’t help asking. The guard has been nice to her so she expected him to answer all of her questions and yes, he did. “I don’t know a lot of details, the king is not here right now and he was the one that gave the instructions that you be moved here, I am sure you will find out soon, good luck,”The guard said and turned to leave. “Wait! Are you leaving me here alone?” She questioned. Yes, once he leaves, she would be alone because the place was separated from the main palace but connected to the king’s chamber by a single door and only a few people have

“I am not pestering you. I just don’t want you to do anything that you might end up regretting, you have a lot going on already.”“Yes, I know, thank you for your concern, Patrick but aside from the diamonds that are missing, Sophie isn’t much of a problem and I have reasons to believe that she is saying the truth about not taking it or having anything to do with it being missing,”He disclosed. He wasn’t so sure yet but he just couldn’t help but think that she was innocent, aside from her being pregnant, he really had nothing else to tie her to the supposed theft, because he had the guards search the disgraced queen’s house to be sure she didn’t hide it there and there was nothing there. She would not have hidden it somewhere else. Except, her baby daddy had been able to go there but the disgraced queen said there was no one with her. Lance knew he shouldn’t believe everything so blindly but Sophie has worked close to him for two years and she has never stolen from him even though sh

For the second time, Lance found himself waking up beside the woman who he shouldn’t even be this comfortable within the first place. Unlike the last time, this time he had been sober when he asked her, no, commanded her to let him share a bed with her, she had no choice but to allow him because no one can say no to him, except Patrick. That mudafucker has zero respect for him. Lance couldn’t deny the fact that he slept better with her around, maybe it was her or maybe he just needed someone close to be able to fall asleep. The first night he slept with her, he didn’t have any nightmares and last night was the same too. Not to mention he was comfortable in her presence. He watched her sleep. The woman was a hell of pretty. She caught his attention the first time she started working at the palace and she had been respectful, polite, and well spoken, he didn’t have to repeat himself twice for her to get what he wants, not to mention she never grumbles or anything when he calls her at an

“You don’t get a break until you meet with your wife-to-be, the prime minister, the minister of health, and also the ruler of the neighboring kingdom so you can only get a break by maybe nine or ten today,”Patrick listed out his schedule for the day. Surprisingly, aside from his supposed wife-to-be, he wanted to meet with the others he mentioned. Which was so not like him, he always hated the meetings and only met with those people because he had to for things to be done. Maybe because he had a good night's rest and he wasn’t hungover for once, he couldn’t help the smile that formed. “What are you smiling about? Are you suddenly excited to meet your wife-to-be?”Patrick asked. Way to ruin his mood. “Don’t push it, Patrick, I can tell you that woman has nothing to do with my smile. In fact, the thought of her is enough for me not to smile for a whole week,”He replied as he walked away from Patrick to his bathroom. He didn’t want Roseline in his space so he had to be at the dining t
