LEAH'S POVMy phone rang in my bag as I stepped out of Empire Fashion House. Despite telling Estefan not to do anything, he still went to Mr. Darlington, asking him to renew my contract with them.Thanks to that, I was able to get back on my feet and make my way to the top again.Fishing out my phone from my bag, I smiled when I saw that it was Asher calling. “Hello, babe,” I said as I picked up the call.“Look at your left,” he ordered, and I complied with a confused expression on my face.A grin spread across my face when I saw him leaning on his red Maserati in an all-black outfit. I moved closer to him and I noticed his blue eyes staring at me in admiration.“How long have you been standing there?” I asked as he pulled me into his arms.“Thirty minutes.” “Why didn't you call me?” I gasped. “I was done an hour ago.”“I wanted to surprise you, so it's worth it.” He shrugged before taking my hand. “Let's go grab lunch together.”“Sure. I'm starving.” He opened the passenger door fo

RHEA'S POV It wasn't hard of a task for the little boy to be found by the Royal family. Anna and Esteban left the palace with some guards and the media team, who would be livestreaming the whole thing. Sitting in my room with my laptop on the bed, I had a bunch of snacks beside me as I had decided to have a writing marathon to cover for the days I missed. Estefan came into the room just as I finished the first chapter. He had to leave the palace early that morning because of something he had to help his father with. “Do you know what channel Anna and Esteban would be livestreaming on?” He asked as he took off his shirt and sat next to me. “Yeah.” I took the remote and searched for the Channel but I stopped when I caught Estefan taking out my chips. I swatted his hands and grabbed the packet of chips. “Go get your own.” “Stingy woman.” He rolled his eyes at me but I ignored him and finally found the channel I was looking for. I adjusted to find a comfortable position on the b

RHEA'S POV“Wow, this place is beautiful.” I gasped as our car parked in front of the carnival. “I know, right,” Estefan said as the door on his side was pulled open. He stepped out of the car and held his hand out to assist me. We walked into the carnival hand in hand, stopping at different outlets. We were offered a pair of red hats to join in the carnival spirit. We put them on and continue with the fun and game going on. A young guy approached Estefan, introducing himself as the leader of the youth community. He thanked us for coming before taking to the podium that was set in the middle of the carnival ground. The community leader stood in front of the mic and publicly expressed his gratitude to Estefan and me on our first appearance at their carnivals. We received lots of applause before he invited Estefan to say something. Estefan stepped forward and the entire crowd went wild.“Good evening everyone, it's such an honor to be here today,” he started. “First, I want to com

ESTEFAN'S POV Stepping into my father's office, I met him standing near the window with his back turned to me.“I understand what you are saying, but it's not a decision I can make in haste,” he said on the phone. “Why don't we wait it out and see what happens?”He turned to face me before hanging up. A sigh escaped his lips as he took his seat on the couch in front of me. “What's wrong?” I asked, sitting on the chair opposite him.“Some of the court members are suggesting that I remove Esteban as the crown prince and appoint you according to the people's wishes,” he explained. “What do you think about it?” “Though it's true that the people's opinion about the leader matters in a way because their leader is meant to serve and make decisions for them, but at the same time, I don't think such a trivial matter should be an excuse for Esteban's removal.” A smile etched on my father's face as he leaned into his chair. “I was expecting you to say something to support Esteban's disposal

LEAH'S POVI climbed down from the stairs dressed in a fitted black gown that stopped mid-thighs. I made my way to the dining room where my parents were already waiting for me. After finding out that my dad lied to my mom that day, I haven't gotten the time to ask him about it. I still hadn't found out why he did that, so I didn't want it to come out as if I was accusing him.I also chose to keep it from my mom because I didn't want her to jump to conclusions. When I figured out what exactly was going on, I'd ask my dad about it and decide it was something I should tell my mom about.“Good morning.” I sat on my seat, opposite my mom. I filled up my plate and began to eat while going through my phone. My hand hung midair when I came across a video on social media with the caption ‘The future monarch of Spain's first appearance at the Madrid Youth festival’. The shocking part of the video was that it was Rhea and Estefan in the video instead of Anna and Esteban. “What the hell is goi

RHEA'S POV“How long are you guys going to keep this up?” King Estevan asked his sons over dinner. The brothers remained quiet, ignoring their father's question. The wedge between Estefan and Esteban was getting bigger by the minute. I tried talking to Estefan to settle things with his brother but he refused to do that until Esteban made a proper apology to me. Estefan also believed there was no point in settling things with his brother because it wouldn't change anything as long as he still believed that Estefan was trying to take his throne from him.“Anna, Rhea, what are guys doing about this?” He looked back and forth between us. I swallowed the food in my mouth and put my fork down. “I've been trying to talk to him but…”“You don't have to involve them in this,” Estefan said. “This is between us.” “It's because you two believe that you have to protect your wives from each other that's why you are fighting each other,” King Estevan raised his voice.Everyone fell into an awkw

ESTEFAN'S POVThe meeting at The Cortes Generales went smoother than I expected. My dad already filled me in on the alliance project that the King of Norway was coming for. After I gave him my opinions on the project, he decided to let me handle the negotiation with the king of Norway. My dad didn't say a word throughout the negotiation process and I was able to handle it with ease. They signed the agreement with the Prime Minister and shook hands. The King of Norway shook my hands and said, “The citizens of Spain are lucky to have you as their future king.” I opened my mouth to correct him but my dad shook my head at me, so I nodded with a smile on my face.The Prime Minister treated us to lunch where I was able to meet the other council members. They talked to me about some matters concerning state affairs and they were surprised at my response to their questions. I had learned all those things and researched them while helping Esteban out with his duties in the past. They event

LEAH'S POV“Why don't step aside and let me do the cooking?” Asher said when he saw how terrible I was at cutting the vegetables.“No, I can do this.” I refused as I cut the vegetables, trying not to cut myself in the process. Asher stepped back and continued to prepare the rest of our dinner. He was who insisted that we prepare dinner ourselves when I had opted to order some chicken. Since we were at his apartment, I decided to follow his decision. I could tell he was regretting telling me to help him out. If only he had asked Rhea before doing that, he would have made sure I never went near his kitchen. “So you are going to take the job for that price because he's your brother-in-law’s friend?” Asher asked. “Yes.” “Don't you think they are taking advantage of their relationship with you?” He continued.“Of course not.” I dropped the knife and turned to him. “Estefan offered to pay me the rest of the money but I refused.” “Why would you do that? You shouldn't mix personal relat

RHEA'S POV“Is she sure about that?” Estefan raised his eyebrows at me. “She said she is.” I ran her fingers through her hair. “Mom is going to be devastated when she finds out but we can't keep her in the dark.”Despite being married for years, my parents loved each other unconditionally. I was still trying to figure out what could have prompted my dad to take such actions.“Why don't you talk to your dad first? You should hear his side of the story before telling your mom,” Estefan advised. “If you are not careful in handling the situation, it might break them apart.” “That's what I'm scared of.” Tears slipped out of my eyes. “I don't want to see my parents fighting each other in court to sign a divorce agreement.” “That's not going to happen.” He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back. “You should get your mind off it, it will only distract you.” “How am I going to do that? I can't stop thinking about it.” I sighed with my head resting on his chest.“You need a distraction

LEAH'S POVTears rolled down my cheeks as I made my way toward the hospital exit. “Leah,” Asher called, making me stop on my track. I was so eager to get out of there that I forgot he was here with me. Turning to him, I watched him jog toward me.“What's going on? Why is your dad here?” He asked before he noticed the tears on my face. “Are you crying? What's wrong? Please talk to me.”“I just found out that my dad has been cheating on my mom,” I answered and his eyes widened in shock. “The child that woman delivered is my half-sibling.” “Leah, I'm so sorry.” He pulled me into a hug and I sobbed against his chest.“Please just get me out of here.” He pulled away and led me out of the hospital building. We sat in his car in a comfortable silence and I closed my eyes recalling how my father claimed to be the baby's father and the doctor congratulating him on the birth of his son.It made me angry as I thought about it. To think that my mom was home preparing his dinner and waiting fo
