All Chapters of Caught In-between : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

RHEA'S POVI was lying on my bed writing on my laptop when Mrs Dutchman came into my room.“Your Highness, someone is here to see you.”“Who?” I glanced up from my laptop.“She said she's your sister-in-law,” she replied.My sister-in-law? Anna was the last person I was expecting to visit me. Was she here to apologize for what she did? Or was she here for the public to see?These past few days have been a raging battle for Anna and Estefan. It was worse than before and I had a feeling that Leah had something to do with it. Her fans were willing to support whatever she said and took it like a command. “Alright, I'll be down soon.” I turned back to my laptop. “Ask her what she wants and make her comfortable.”I decided to finish what I was writing before attending to her. There was no crime in making her wait a bit. After thirty minutes, I saved my work and closed my laptop. I stood up from the bed and changed into something presentable before stepping out of my room.As I climbed down

RHEA'S POV“Miss Ruiz, are you trying to tell me that you are Prince Esteban's biological mother and not the Queen?” Laura asked the strange woman.“Yes,” she replied, making me gasp. “I gave birth to Prince Esteban in a State hospital 25 years ago on the same day Queen Carina had her baby. I heard from a nurse that her baby died, so they approached me and told me to give her mine because I was planning to give him up for adoption.” “Why are you just saying this now after keeping quiet for twenty-five years?” “I have been seeing on social media that Estefan should be made the crown prince instead of Esteban. As a loyal citizen of Spain, I believe it won't be right to let a child without Royal blood take the throne, so I thought to use this opportunity to tell the truth and get rid of the guilt of my sins.” The host began to ask her more questions but I took the remote and turned off the TV. The room was in complete silence and the tension in the air was so thick that a knife could

ESTEFAN'S POV“Anna, relax.” I held her shoulder. “I know it's hard but you have to think about your baby and be careful with everything you do.”“But what am I going to do?” She cried. “My parents are planning to come and finalize the divorce so they can take me with them, and Esteban is not even here.”I sighed because I couldn't assure her that everything would be fine. I was more confused than I'd ever been in my entire life.“Just go to your room and get some rest, I'll see what I can do.” I glanced behind me to see Rhea in the corner of the room talking to someone on the phone. I had a wild guess that it was someone from her family, probably wondering what was going on.“Esmeralda,” I called and she walked to me. “Take Anna to her room and I'll take Mom to the guest room on the second floor.” She nodded before she asked, “Don't we have to stay with them here?” “Yes you have to but I will have to take Rhea back home.” I glanced at Rhea who was still taking on the phone with a

136RHEA'S POVThe rays of sun cast on my face and I shifted to feel my head resting on something hard and warm. Popping an eye open, I raised my head to see Estefan sleeping with his hands around my body. I positioned my head on his chest to get a good look at his face. I used my fingers to remove the strand of hair on his face before moving to place a kiss on his lips.His hands tightened around me before I could pull away and his lips moved against mine.“Good morning.” He smiled when he pulled away.“When did you home yesterday?” I traced my finger on the side of his face. “You look stressed out.”“I came in sometime close to midnight,” he replied and my eyes widened. “Why were you out till that time?” I sat up on the bed beside him.“Anna called me when I got home after meeting Miss Sofia. She was worried about Esteban so I had to go back out to look for him.” He stretched his body and yawned. “I'm so tired. I wished everything that happened yesterday was just a terrible nightm

ESTEFAN'S POV Esteban went back to his room as soon as Anna left the palace. My father glanced at Mom before turning on his heels and walked to the elevator. “He's never going to forgive me, is he?” Queen Carina sighed as she watched her husband walk away.“I'm sure he'll come around, just give him time.” Rhea moved closer to her and rubbed her shoulders.“Are you two going to London?” Esmeralda asked, looking back and forth between Rhea and me. “Who is going to help Dad if you leave?" she said to me. “Trust me, we won't be gone for long,” I assured her. “We are going for something important that might end up resolving our situation, so I want you to give Dad the moral support you can while we are gone.” “Okay.” She nodded. “I'll go talk to Dad before we leave.” I ruffled her hair before walking to the elevator. The elevator stopped at the fifth floor and I went to my dad's study after checking his room to find it empty. I knocked on the door and he responded, “Come in.” Pushi
