Leila's POV Stepping out of the confines of my room, I smiled for it was the day Lily would die, I would lay the blame on Queen Laurent, Marcus's judgment could lead to her exile and I would be crowned Queen Consort.I walked with an air of confidence and pride. I walked towards the grand mansion. Little wonder why it was built in the likeness of a palace.The mansion had four whole divisions, the north wing belonging to the king, the south wing belonging to the queen, the west wing belonging to Marcus, and the east wing for the servants.I hated the idea of servants living so close by, but I had to only endure for a little while longer. I walked into the grand Mansion and headed straight to Marcus’s wing. I anticipated maids hurrying about to clear Lily’s room out and Marcus sulking a while in his room, but when I arrived he was out of the room and I did not meet the expected turmoil I had anticipated.“Where is Marcus?” I asked a maid passing by“He is in Lily’s room?” She respond

Marcus's POVWhat!!!“You wanted to know, now you do!” She exclaimed. “How would you go and point accusing fingers at your mother and base them on the words of your slave Marcus?”“If that is what I have to do, then so be it,” I replied coldly and made for the door, but her voice stopped me.“After that, what next?” She asked. “You will pronounce judgment on your mother and your father will come at me. What will you do then? You still have Leila and her father too, so Marcus please,” She was good at making her pleas but that is not what made me who I was.“I know what to do and do not worry it will cause you no more trouble,” I said to her and left the room with her in it.“No one is allowed to visit her except for the maid who just left here or the chief gardener, Winston, or myself,” I ordered the guards stationed outside her door.“Yes, Master Marcus.” They replied“Also, make sure she does not leave your sight. She can go anywhere within this wing only.” I added.“Okay, Master Mar

Lily's POV After Marcus left the room, I hurried off the bed and back into the bathroom. I felt very nauseous earlier on but I fought hard to control it, so he would not make a fuss out of it.I could not allow any more people to know of my baby. I knew a doctor had come in to check me while I passed out.Looking at myself in the mirror I remembered my conversation from earlier with Clara.“What did the doctor find?” I asked her as she stepped into the bathroom.“You can keep calm, he could not find any pulse to read. Quite mysterious right?” Clara had replied.I wondered why he could not find any pulse and was worried about it. Clara had agreed to come back after Marcus had left, so we could go to see her father.Throwing up now made me confused as to whether it was the aftermath effect of the potion I drank or if it was still my babies intact.I did not want to think it was the latter, but I would still follow Clara to see her Father.As I walked back into the room, I met Clara set

Marcus's POV As I lay down on the bed, I reminisced on what Winston had said. He sure did have his way with words.“Master Marcus, it is not enough that you revealed your wolf to her,” He began.I had thought he was going to tell me to run away again, but he did not.“You need to confess to her as Marcus Darkwood.” He blurted out.I looked at him in shock before sending him out of my chambers. How could he ask me to go and do something so unthinkable and unreasonable?I tried to force myself to sleep, but only she infiltrated my thoughts and dreams. I forced my eyes shut, but it was not working either.I looked beyond the beautiful dancing of the curtain around my bed and imagined Lily behind them. Dancing and luring me into her. I smiled and immediately sprang to my feet.Maybe, after all, Winston was right. Why did I have to bear it on my shoulders all alone? I can be with her all I want, while as for Leila, she will be engaged for a couple of months before I break up the engagemen

Lily's POV “I have secured a small carriage and some wigs she can use.”“Good. What colors?”“I got black, brown and red wigs,”“Alright. I just need her to sleep for a while then she will be ready to leave for good.” Grayson replied.I began making out the faces of the people whose voices I heard.“Clara?” I called out.“Oh Lily, you are awake,” She replied as she hurried to my side.“What is going on?” I asked.“We only discussed your disguise and the carriage you will be using,” Clara replied.“Thank you, Clara,” I said and stood up from the bed.I went ahead to have a quick shower, then dressed in the male clothes that Clara brought. With my short silver hair, I put on the black wig.Marcus was well familiar with the Brown wig and using that one would mean that I would be most likely to be caught by him if I use the brown wig.“Hello Mr Ly,” Clara teased.We laughed lightly.“Thank you so much, Grayson, thank you so much, Clara,” I said to them in gratitude and moved in for a hug
