Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 26
Isaac tossed on the bed as his somnolence faded out, his eyes landing on Natalie's who crawled towards him as she noticed he's awake.She placed her palm on his forehead and was glad his temperature was warmer. “Does anywhere hurt?”They had rode back together after his stunt at the airport, but before they reached home, he started to fall out of sorts.His breathing was heavy, and he could hardly speak. The doctors were at the villa by the time they arrived, and they put him on oxygen and IV fluids, which helped to stabilise him and put him to sleep.He had kept her by his side throughout his treatment, and she remained with him even after he dozed off.That was partly because she wanted to, and partly because she had nowhere else to go. They shared a room all through her stay with him, and given his attitude at the airport, she didn't want to implicate herself further by leaving.She doubted his aides would even let her leave.Isaac kept staring at her with emotion-filled, tired eye
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 27
Isaac followed the hospital director through the eighth floor's blue and white halls, where an eerie chill hung in the air, an indistinct quietness prevailed, and a subtle hint of lavender struggled to emerge from the overpowering antiseptic scent.They stopped in front of a steel door, and the director used his ID to allow them access.The white room was padded and had only a single bed against the far wall, a cabinet at an angle, and a TV hung on the wall.Isaac's heart reached out to his brother, who was in a hospital gown, reclined on the wall with his face buried between his knees, which were pulled to his chest.“Why is he in this room?” Isaac asked the director.“He's been trying to harm himself to escape, his Majesty permitted us to bring him here.”Isaac faced his brother again, and he raised his head to look at the intruders.Vincent's baggy dejected eyes flashed with hope as he saw his brother. He jolted to leave the bed, but his hands were tied with a rope, which was fixed
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 28
Natalie observed with a mixture of fascination and skeptisicm, as Mrs Peoni sauntered the narrow aisle between two rows of lit candles, a pile of 5 books balanced on her head, and her cape not making any of the flames flick.She demonstrated that to prove to Natalie, who insisted it wasn't possible, that it was.It's the second day Isaac was away, and they expected his return that night. Mrs Peoni started her ‘training’ the day before saying it was an order from Isaac. But Isaac never mentioned that to her.The truth was, they hadn't even talked about their future together.They could have, on the day he left. But his response to her question was: now I wanna fuck you.The words hit her like a truck at full speed, which crashed into a bumload of butterflies sending them fluttering everywhere within her.Like the hot and bothered naughty ‘cat’ she was that morning, she submissively let him have his wicked way with her. The sex was good, but she wasn't satisfied, no. She still wanted hi
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 29
They say communication is the basis of a strong and healthy relationship. Natalie couldn't agree more with that than she did at that moment. Having never been in a committed relationship, she never knew what she'd want from a man to keep her ‘interested’ and feeling loved. At first, Isaac seemed like the ideal man. A ten over ten. Practically, he's a man a large percentage of girls would want. And she got him like a wrapped gift from the sky, effortlessly. But could the gift wrap be all she should take off to wholly appreciate him in all his essence? Or was there more beneath his dazzling persona? She's starting to see him as a beautiful enigma, one she couldn't unravel and didn't want to toss away. He had secrets, a lot of them. There were a lot of things he kept from her. And even though she tried to understand that maybe he's doing so for her sake, she couldn't help but be curious, could she? He's supposed to return the day before, which he didn't. And then he appeared

“T-that's the truth, I swear _” Isaac slapped him again, and he grabbed his cheek, his whole body shaking as he cried.“Please stop.” He begged.Isaac pulled his arm to hit him again when he noticed the scratches on his shoulder. He held his nape and bent his head to take a better look, and he could swear those were sex scratches.“You had sex last night.” He more of stated than questioned as he released his grip.Vincent stilled, his trembles ceasing abruptly. He raised his head slowly, and the eyes Isaac looked at him with were confused, shocked, and furious.Isaac faced the body on the floor, then back at his brother's red eyes. “Are you gay?!”Vincent shook his head vigorously, looking like a person about to be hung to death. “N-no, shit no. Believe me, please.”“Then will you fucking speak?!”“I told you the truth _”Isaac slapped him again, that time harder than the previous ones and Vincent collapsed on his side, his right cheek red and bruised.He quaked in tears, crying bitte
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 31
They had just arrived back home that night when Isaac received Vincent's call.He would have returned the next morning, but he knew his woman must be waiting for him. He promised her he'd be back the day before, but thanks to the ladies that had to be rushed to the hospital, he couldn't until the next evening.But then Vincent's call had Dan turning around in front of the gate and heading back to the airport.‘Father found out!’ He had yelled pensively over the line. ‘What the hell did you do? I told you not to let him know!’If he had let Vincent take care of his mess himself, then he wouldn't have bothered about the king finding out, however.But he had taken him to the academy himself that morning, immediately after Dan headed to the hospital with the ladies and before taking out the corpse.That's because he didn't want any suspicion that'd point at him remain. Since he's planning to resume that day, he should do just that.But now the king found out by whatever means he possibly
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 32
The king took a sip of his beverage, then put the cup down, still saying nothing. “My king.” The Queen Mother called, and he faced her. "Yes, mother." "What do you know about this?" He was mute for a beat, and then he sighed. “Were you truly there, Crown Prince?" Isaac scoffed. "You know I was." “Was he with you, Vincent?" He shook his head, gritting his teeth. "No.” “Vincent!" Isaac yelled frustratedly. “What on earth did you say to him?” He faced his father. “I believe they should provide evidence to back their claims." The king said to the Queen Mother, still choosing to ignore Isaac. She trained her eyes on her son, but as always, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. “Vincent," She called, and he raised his eyes to face her. “Can you prove Isaac was not there at that party?" “He was definitely not at the party.” Isaac waited for him to complete the sentence, but he didn't. "I wasn't at the party, but I was there the morning after he died." "Can you prove that?" Th
Love Beyond Royalty CHAPTER 33
Isaac dragged his feet up to his room, slumped down on the bed when he reached. He wondered how his brother was doing and what those people would do to him. The Queen Mother had him sent to the North as a peace treaty. Vincent had cried and wailed and pleaded for mercy, but she insisted it's the best solution to the issue. He should go there and apologise for his actions. If he's forgiven, fine and good. And if not, they should punish him how they deem fit. The king refused to intervene no matter how much Isaac pestered him to, his excuse was that Isaac had already brought up the issue about his wedding, and that in itself was enough to cause a dispute between he and the Queen Mother. ‘One at a time.’ The king had said to him. ‘Vincent isn't a coward. He'd be alright.’ Isaac had wanted to go along with him, but the king literally had him locked up until they'
