And to my disbelief Rueben seemed very happy with her words, he was seriously looking forward to having an intimate session with Rachel despite how he had just supported me earlier.My heart sank as I watched Rueben's attention shift towards Rachel. It was as if I didn't exist anymore, and it hurt more than she could bear. I couldn't understand how Rueben could be so happy and excited about meeting Rachel, especially after everything that had just happened.I tried to keep my composure, but deep down, I was terrified. I couldn't shake the feeling that Rueben might leave me for Rachel. The thought of losing him to someone else made my heart ache.Every time Rueben attempted to excuse himself to meet Rachel, I found a way to keep him by my side. I didn't want to appear clingy, but I couldn't bear the thought of him going to Rachel.I held onto his arm tightly, pretending to be scared of the crowd or feeling unwell, just to ensure that he wouldn't leave me alone. Rueben seemed confused b
I wanted to run away, to escape from the pain that was consuming me. But something held me back. I couldn't tear myself away from the scene. It was as if I needed to see it, to feel the pain, to confirm that my worst fears had indeed come true.As the tears streamed down my face, I couldn't help but question everything. Had I been foolish to believe that Rueben could change? Had I been blind to his true nature all along? It felt like my world was crumbling around me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.But amidst the pain and despair, a fire ignited within me. I refused to let this define me. I refused to let Rueben's betrayal break me. I would not let him have that power over me.With a newfound strength, I turned away from the heartbreaking scene and walked away. The tears still fell, but my determination grew stronger with each step. I would not let this destroy me.As I ran away from that painful scene, the sound of Martha's voice calling out to me sliced through the haze

I stared at my reflection on the wall as I adored the dress, how I was never unable to find this dress or did he just buy the dress newly. Did Rueben buy it specifically for this occasion? The fabric shimmered in the light, and the intricate details seemed to come alive.Lost in my thoughts, I was brought back to reality when Martha walked into the room. She had a knowing smile on her face as she approached me. "My queen, Rueben, is waiting for you outside in his car. He said it's time for the surprise," she informed me.My curiosity peaked, and excitement bubbled within me. What could this surprise be? I couldn't wait any longer to find out. Without wasting a moment, I hurriedly made my way out of the room, feeling a surge of confidence in the stunning dress Rueben had chosen for me.As I stepped outside, the cool night air brushed against my skin, and I saw Rueben leaning against his car, looking dashing as ever. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and a smile tugged at the corners of h
I woke the next morning to a wide smile on my face. I have never felt this happy since I stepped foot into this palace. I even woke up before Martha could come to wake me up just to show how joyful and happy I was with all that was transpiring in my life.I heard a soft knock on the door, and Martha's voice called out, "Naomi, are you awake?"I couldn't help but grin as I called back, "Yes, Martha, I'm awake!"The door swung open, and Martha entered the room, a surprised expression on her face. "Well, well, well, look who's up before I even had the chance to wake you," she said, a playful tone in her voice.I chuckled, feeling a sense of lightness and joy in my heart. "I couldn't sleep in today, Martha. There's just too much happiness bubbling inside me."Martha's eyes widened, and she rushed over to me, excitement evident on her face. "What happened, Naomi? Did something wonderful happen?"I couldn't contain my smile any longer as I recounted the events of the previous night, startin
I took a deep breath, wiping away the last traces of tears from my face, determined to show a strong facade as I reentered the dining hall. The pain was still fresh, but I refused to let Rueben's betrayal break me completely. It was time to assert myself and show everyone that I would not be easily swayed.As I walked into the room, I could feel the tension in the air. The queen's eyes darted towards me, surprise evident in her gaze. Rueben's expression held a mix of guilt and confusion as he tried to meet my eyes. But I kept my gaze focused ahead, refusing to acknowledge his presence.I took my seat at the table, trying to maintain my composure. The queen's piercing gaze lingered on me, and I could sense her curiosity. She was likely wondering what had changed within me, why I suddenly seemed distant and uninterested.Rueben, unable to bear the silence any longer, cleared his throat and attempted to start a conversation. "Naomi, I hope you slept well. I noticed you were up early this
They even went to the extent of blaming me for the kings death.I ran out of my room as fast as my leg could take me towards the queen and king room and juts as I ran through the hall I got to realize I had never really met the king before…I had only seen him once or twice and then I heard a few times that he was sick and that was why I had to be called to the palace because Rueben can’t be pronounced the king without a queen to follow side by side.As I got closer to the room I saw the guards all around the bedroom with a few maids around and their expression were very sad, I continued to move forward as I was more than sure that the other royals were in there and it would be bad if she was excluded.I paced slowly into the room and Rueben looked like someone who had a lot of tears in his eyes but couldn’t let it out and then I looked at Demetrius and he wasn’t even shading a tear his face was just stiff like he was angry with his father for some reason but the teen was really puttin
The fake and heartless trainings I had to pass through…So this was a sham so I won’t know my real worth, they knew I was worth more than what they made me believe….“Why would no one tell you that…didn’t you read about it or trained about that part?” Jade said to me but I didn’t know how to explain to jade that I was actually trained to act like a rebel and didn’t bother to even read about the royal history.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "Jade, I have to be honest with you. I was never trained or educated about royal history or my role as a future queen. In fact, I was raised to believe that I was nothing more than a rebel, someone who didn't belong in the palace."Jade looked at me with surprise and concern. "That's terrible. They've been keeping you in the dark about your true worth and potential. But now that you know, Naomi, you have a choice to make. You can either continue to let them treat you as insignificant, or you can stand up for your right to the th
