All Chapters of Tales of the Broken Queen : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Eleanor’s POVI slowly opened her eyes, after blinking them multiple times, trying to adjust my eyes to the surroundings. My head throbbing with a sharp pain in my neck, I placed my hand there as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. As my vision adjusted to the dimly lit room, confusion washed over me. The unfamiliar surroundings sent a shiver down my spine, and my heart raced with a mix of fear and anxiety.“This was not my house, where am l, where is my baby?” I asked myself loudly in panic as fear gripped me. I scanned the room, my eyes darting from one corner to another, searching for any sign of my precious baby. But to my dismay, there was no trace of my little one not even his stroller or napkin. Panic welled up inside me, threatening to consume my every thought. So many thoughts raced through my mind. How did I end up here? Where was my baby? Why does my head hurt so bad? The room felt suffocating, the air heavy with unanswered questions. I wrecked my brain trying to re

Eleanor's POV"Oh, mummy is here," I said cradling my crying baby, he had been crying for a while now and I wanted to put him to sleep, I paced around the room patting him on the shoulder gently so he could fall asleep. In no time I noticed he stopped crying, so I raised his head from my shoulder to see if he was sleeping."That's my baby" I muttered to myself as I carefully placed him on the bed, using the blankets to cover him.I paced around the room after putting my baby to sleep, it's been days since I was brought here, and they have been treating me nicely and taking good care of my baby, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of unsettledness, I don't know the reason why I was brought here, I am not allowed to leave the house or talk too much with the maids. It's almost like I am a home prisoner here.King Derek hasn't made any attempt to hurt me, I just couldn't help but question his motives. Why would he treat me and my baby well after taking us against our will? Was it all a f

Eleanor's POVI inhaled heavily as I suddenly became conscious. I opened my eyes quickly and all that came to my mind was my baby. I turned around to see where he was, and my gaze fell on my baby, lying perfectly beside me, sleeping. I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping my forehead with my palm. I was back in the room I was kept before as I looked around. I exhaled slowly, feeling disappointed at my failed attempt to escape from the palace.My mind wandered off suddenly to the last thing I saw before going unconscious. I breathed heavily as memories of him transforming into a mysterious animal flashed in my mind. My face was pale and drawn, my eyes went wide open with terror, and my hands trembled gently. At this point, I was breathing quickly and shallowly, and my heart was racing. I could not help but think about it. I could not get it off my mind.He is a beast and a monster. I must be careful and wary around. I must not let him harm my baby. I thought in my mind. I turned to look at

Eleanor's POVI sat on the bed momentarily as I could not understand what he had said. He does not know why he has not killed me yet. I thought. Why has he held me and my baby captive? I kept asking myself the question without getting an answer. My heart raced fast as I bit my lower lips, shaking my head slowly. He turned around, and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he was about to leave the room, but he only started to walk around the room.“Is he asleep again?” He suddenly asked as he went close to the window, looking outside. Words ran out of my mouth as I sat there dumbfounded. I only managed to nod my head in affirmation, but he didn't seem to notice I nodded, and he asked again.“I said is he sleeping again?” He asked, but this time with a sharp tone, accompanied by a bit of anger. I knew better than to nod again at this time. “Yes!.” That was all I could force myself to say. His words continued to reverberate in my mind. I could not take my mind off it. He already had the i

King Derek's POVI sat there on my chair in my office, lost in thoughts. I placed my hand on my chin, stroking it gently as I hummed lightly. My legs, shaking gently as different thoughts ran through my mind. I jolted from my reverie instantly as my eyes when wide open when I suddenly remembered I had some unfinished work. I stood up quickly from the chair and walked to the drawer. I brought out some piece of paper and walked back to the chair I was seated earlier.“What are all these?” I whispered as I looked through the content of the papers, exhaling slowly. It was the record of the finance of the palace. I did seem to understand a thing written there as I flipped through the pages. “Why is the profit margin not correlating with the total funds recorded here. There is tax evasion too.” I asked myself loudly in the office. I paced around the office slowly, holding the papers in my hands. I have to call the head of finance. He needs to do a breakdown analysis of the total money spen
