Raquel stood alone in the confines of her opulent room, her face flushed with embarrassment and frustration. The encounter with the palace guards had left her seething with indignation. How dare they refuse her entry? How dare they deny her access to the very place she once called home?A mix of anger and determination welled up within her, fueling a fire that burned brightly in her eyes. Clenching her fists, Raquel vowed to herself that she would not be defeated. She would not allow Liam's rejection to dampen her spirits. In fact, it only fueled her desire to bring Liliana back to the palace and show Liam just what he had lost."Mark my words, Liam," she muttered under her breath, her voice dripping with venom. "You think you can cast me aside? You think you can disregard my worth? Well, I will show you just how wrong you are. Liliana will be back in my palace, and you will have no power over her."As she paced back and forth, her mind raced with plans and strategies. She knew she co

As I sat in the cozy sitting room of the palace, surrounded by Raquel's parents, a wave of curiosity and concern washed over me. I couldn't help but wonder if Liam knew of my presence here, seeking refuge under their roof. The weight of our tumultuous history hung heavy in the air, and the last thing I wanted was to ignite another storm."Did Liam discover that I am here?" I asked, my voice laced with a mixture of apprehension and vulnerability.Raquel's mother, Queen Isabella, exchanged a glance with King Dairus before turning her gaze back to me. "No, Liliana, he does not know," she replied gently, her voice carrying a touch of sympathy. "We have kept your presence here a secret, respecting your desire for privacy and safety."A sigh of relief escaped my lips, and a sense of gratitude washed over me. The mere thought of Liam storming into the palace, his anger and frustration directed at me, sent shivers down my spine. I needed time and space to find my footing, to discover the trut

I sat in the luxurious confines of my room, surrounded by opulence and beauty. The grandeur of the palace could not be denied, but the heavy weight of confinement settled upon my heart. Raquel's words echoed in my mind, reminding me of my limited freedom within these gilded walls."Liliana, darling," Raquel said, sauntering into the room with a smug smile on her face. "I hope you're getting comfortable here because this is your new home."I forced a polite smile, though my heart sank at her words. "Raquel, I understand that I need to stay hidden from Liam, but does it have to be like this? Can't I at least have some freedom to move about?"Raquel's eyes glinted with amusement as she crossed her arms. "Oh, Liliana, you don't seem to understand. If you want to keep this little secret of yours safe, then you must remain within the palace grounds. You are not to leave without my permission."A wave of disappointment washed over me. I had hoped for a semblance of independence, a chance to

The moon hung high in the velvety night sky, casting a soft glow through the windows of my chamber. Restlessness tugged at my weary bones as I lay in bed, the discomfort of my heavily swollen belly making sleep elusive. Thoughts of Liam and our tumultuous past danced through my mind, mingling with the anticipation of the impending birth.Suddenly, a sharp pang coursed through my body, and I gasped, clutching my abdomen. My heart raced as I realized what was happening. The labor had started, catching me off guard in the stillness of the night. Panic surged through my veins, and I called out for Raquel, my voice laced with desperation."Raquel! Please, I need help!" I cried out, my voice echoing through the empty hallways. But no response came, save for the haunting silence that enveloped me. The realization that I was alone, left to navigate the storm of labor on my own, struck me with a wave of fear and vulnerability.As the contractions intensified, tearing through my body like a rel

The festival of harvest was around the corner and Raquel was to head the occasion,As she was working she kept wondering what she was going to gain by hiding Liliana and her new babies from Liam and then she paused but spread a sky smile on her face,She was doing this because of what she had lost and the embarrassment, Liam made her feel when he threw her out of his palace and now she was going to take away his happiness after all she had nothing to be happy about,She didn't have a mate and she had lost her chance to be married to Liam. " I have been searching everywhere for you" Raquel's mother tapped her from behind and she bounced back to reality." Mother!!!!! What are you doing here ??? " Raquel said expressing shock." Raquel!!! What are you thinking about?? " Her mother asked and Raquel Shaked her head." Nothing for you to worry about after all I am in charge of the festival so alot is going on in my head" Raquel lied."
