After leaving Amy's hotel, Bastian decided to go back to his palace. He had been away for a while, and he also realized that Amy needed time to get over her anger. On his way back to the palace, he kept remembering how he bared his heart out to Amy and told her how he felt. The way she reacted deeply hurt him because it was the first time he had ever opened up to any woman in his life. But then again, he knew that he was the reason why Amy acted that way. If he hadn't treated her so badly in the past, she would not have reacted the way she did.Despite the fact that he was leaving, he gave instructions to some of his guards and said, "Keep an eye on Amy and on everything she does. No matter what happens, report it to me." He wanted to give her the opportunity to get the space she wanted, but he was determined not to give up on her. When he arrived home, he hired some men and instructed, "I need you to find someone for me. Her name is Ann. I'll send you her pictures and all the infor
Mabel smiled at Armstrong and said, "I guess now that I have you, there's nothing for me to be afraid of.""But of course," he replied and kissed her lips. She pulled away from him, "What are you doing, Armstrong? You're sick, and a sick man should rest." Armstrong threw his head back and laughed, "You're my remedy, Mabel. So, as long as I am sick, you have no choice but to cooperate with me, okay? Because I need to get better." He was about to kiss her again when the door was opened, and his mom came in. He stared at his mom and smiled. She looked at Mabel briefly and back at Armstrong."Hi mom, I know you've met Mabel before," he said, "but let me introduce you again. This is Mabel, she's the love of my life, the one, and she makes me so happy. Mabel, this is my mom, my sweetheart, and my first love." Both Mabel and his mom smiled. She stared at Mabel for a while longer before saying, "Well, she's beautiful.""I know, right?" he replied excitedly. "Bring her home sometime to s
Armstrong stared at Mabel and nodded, "Okay, Amy is your senior, but do you think she will not be okay with the idea?"Mabel sighed, "Even I feel uncomfortable taking money from you.""But why?" Armstrong asked. "A lot of girls out there do it.""I am not a lot of girls," Mabel replied. "The money Amy gave to us, she got it as a wedding gift from the king, that was why she took it. And as I said, if I want to, I can spend money from there, but I don't know how much it will cost me to complete college and I don't want to end up lacking when I'm close to the finish line. It's the same with my sisters. This is why we all still try to live simple and content lives. Amy hasn't even begun college. The plan was to get a divorce from Bastian before coming back, because if she went to college as Bastian's wife, she will have to follow some rules. I think she'll have to be homeschooled or something like that.""I understand everything," Armstrong said. "I just feel that it's too stressful for
Ann got dressed and ready to leave the house. "Where are you heading to?" her mom asked. "Well, I have a meeting with someone. I'm working on my next plan to separate Bastian and Amy. I already told you, Mom. I will not lose to Amy. No matter what happens, Bastian will be mine in the end.""Well, I wish you all the best," her mom replied. "I'm already tired of living here. I want to go back to the palace. I enjoyed the life we had there.""I know. I'm going to give that to you. But come on, Mom, it's not like we're lacking. We've made a lot of money. You made enough, working in the palace and I made enough, dating Bastian. Look at the house we live in, look at our bank accounts. We're not lacking.""Yes, we're not lacking." Her mom responded, but if we do not return to the palace, with your expensive lifestyle, we'll eventually run out of money. And I do not want to go back to the slums.""Come on, Mom, that is going to take a long time. It's not as if you even spend the money on yo
Mabel stared at Armstrong in surprise. The last thing she had expected was that Armstrong would want to marry her when their relationship was barely a month old. Although, she had come to understand his character, marriage? She didn't think she'd get married at this young age. She knew Armstrong wasn't like Bastian, so she wasn't afraid that she would suffer like her sister. However, she was excited and afraid at the same time.Armstrong was on his knees, waiting for her answer. When he saw that she was hesitating, he suddenly became afraid and began to wonder if he made the move too early. He had wanted to settle down two years ago, but after his fiancée cheated on him, he gave up on the idea. After meeting Mabel and falling in love with her, he was convinced that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Now that she had accepted to be his girlfriend, he didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted to do it right away, which was why he proposed to her. Being
Mabel unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing, revealing her almost naked body to Armstrong's hungry eyes as the shirt landed on the ground.His hands moved lower to her breasts and he cupped them gently. He looked into her eyes again and she smiled at him. His lips covered the tips of her breasts as she threw her head back and moaned in pleasure. "I love you," he breathed before crashing his lips on hers. Mabel circled his neck with her hands as waves of desire rippled through her.He lifted her and took her back to the room, placing her on the bed. She stared at him, admiring his body and his hard length as he stood beside the bed and took his sweet time drinking in her beauty.When he was satisfied. He got on the bed and slowly pulled down her panties. His hand gently rubbed her folds before it was replaced by his mouth.Mabel clutched his hair as she moaned in pleasure and told him how much she enjoyed what he was doing.He got on her body and covered her neck with kisses as she p
Amy sat across from Mabel, and they both stared at each other while Mabel waited for her to give her the gist she was waiting for. Amy said, "Well, there's not much to tell. I mean, you are the one who should be telling me what I want to know.""Yeah, but what happened over there in Milan?" Mabel asked."Nothing much," Amy replied. "Just as I told you I was going to do, I sold off everything I had bought." "You look kinda sad," Mabel pointed out. "I may be wrong though. "Well, I guess it's the whole issue with Bastian," Amy replied. "Well, I'm surprised he hasn't called me in three days, perhaps he has finally given up, which is good because once he divorces me, I can move on with my life and go to school on my terms. Okay, that's by the way. Bastian is irrelevant. Congratulations, girl, tell me how everything went."Mabel was all smiles as she narrated to Amy how Armstrong surprised her by proposing to her, and Amy just sat down listening to her happily. "Mabel, you're so lucky.
Ivy spent the next few days bonding with her dad and everyone else. She was having the time of her life since both her dad and Mrs. Harlow showed her so much love, but it wasn't the same in Charles' house. Each time she went there, she'd get fed up and want to leave because of Raya. She came to the house virtually every day and wouldn't stop talking about Hannah. Ivy didn't like her because she acted so possessive, as though she owned Charles. Raya even offered to become Ivy's best friend, but Ivy said, "No, I already have a best friend." Raya acted offended by it, but Ivy couldn't care less. Charles, on the other hand, was nice. He always tried to change the conversation each time Raya brought up Hannah, but Ivy wished he'd tell Raya to give them some privacy. She'd come to the house in the morning and stay till evening, making it impossible for them to spend quality time together. It had been three days, and Ivy hadn't seen Charles because the last time she was there, she barely
