23. Don't treat differently
Paula's p.o.v
"I don't blame you in anyway Adrean, all I want to do is just leave your kingdom and go back to my father's." I said honestly.
"No, you can't go back. The people will laugh at you and call you names." He answered.
"And whose fault do you think that is, huh!" I yelled out in anger.
"It's mine and I know that, that's why I'm going to take responsibility. Paula Marry me." He answered loudly as I dropped my jaw open in shock.
What was wrong with him, I was already married to the man I was in love with despite being treated unfairly.
"I'm sorry your highness, I'm already a married woman." I answered then stood up and faced the other side.
"I know you might think badly of me. You would think I had planned all this before it could happen, but the tru

ROYAL HEARTBREAK 24. Ruined
Henry's p.o.vIt's been weeks since I've been searching for Paula and her ladies. I really didn't know where else to look. Her father knew nothing of her disappearance and I made sure it stayed that way. If he was to find out that I was so cruel to his only daughter, he would have either taken her back or made my kingdom into his enemy.I was so scared and heartbroken, there was never a day that went by without me remembering her beautiful smile and stubborn character. Most times I usually found myself laughing, and on rare times crying for her. I needed her so much and I was willing to do anything if she were to ask. All I wanted was to have her forgiveness.The doors to my bed chamber's opened and Jack walked in."What?" I asked huskily.He shook his head sadly then moved closer.
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 25. Bad thought, ill mind
Adrean's p.o.v"Mother what did you do?" I asked loudly in my chambers."I told you exactly what I had told her. I said, "Please give my son a chance just for a week. If in this same one week you won't feel a thing, then I will never bring up this topic and discussion again. But if in this one week you end up feeling something for my son, then you will end your marriage with your husband and marry my son." She answered calmly."Why would you do that?" I asked in nearly a scream."Because it's what every mother would do for her son, you are in love with her and I can see it in your eyes." She answered loudly."That shouldn't concern you." I said then moved to the balcony."It does because I'm your mother, are you going to deny that you are in love with her?" She asked.I took in a deep breath then released it, I couldn't lie to her or hide
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 26. The ball
Adrean's p.o.vA few days went by quickly and in those days I was very close to Paula, chatting and laughing, it was clear to me that she would never love me as much as she loved Henry.I didn't want to but I was going through with my mother's plan, I didn't want her to hate me no matter what so I convinced my mother to drug her at the night of the ball.One of the servants was going to put a drug powder in her wine that would really arouse and affect her to the point of her wanting to have a way with me.Since she rarely drunk, I was sure that she was going to blame it on the wine. That way she would not have an idea that it was all my doing.All I needed to do was to stay by her side and wait for the drug to take effect.Henry wasn't invited and I made sure that Paula had no idea about it. I wasn't going to risk my chances of being with her or t
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 27. Shock
Henry's p.o.vI stood in the crowd feeling left out and out of place. It wasn't my intention to attend king Adrean's ball. But Jack made me, I tried to reason with him but he couldn't barge. After all, he was the one invited not me. But he believed I could be lucky and find Paula or one of his ladies. He really was foolish, but I went on with his request because I needed to think straight and wanted to be in the presence of new people."You will be fine." I whispered to myself then got a glass of wine from a servant serving it.Adrean came downstairs with his mother beside him. Immediately he walked into the crowd, the ladies circled around him. His mother chuckled softly then left his side. Well, he was really known for his looks and ladies were crazy over him.The Herald announced an arrival, I quickly dropped the glass when
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 28. Going home
Paula's p.o.vBe happy and have the best time of your life. Those were the words I told myself when I walked into the ballroom. My Ladies were right by my side as people's eyes landed on me.I took in a deep breath and walked forward. Adrean met me halfway and asked me for a dance. I agreed even though my mind was elsewhere. I hated what I felt, but I couldn't help myself. I was looking forward to seeing Henry. I knew there was no way he would come to such a ball and much worse if he knew who Adrean really was.I was sad and tried my best to hide the truth, the dance ended in no time and my ladies went off to enjoy themselves.The queen approached us and gave me a glass of wine to take. I tried turning her down but she insisted. I decided to take it to please her.Adrean was right by my side looking all h
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 29. You have a visitor
Paula's p.o.vI woke up feeling very calm and relaxed, a hand on my waist made me quickly sit upright.Henry groaned loudly then pulled me down in his arms."Let's sleep a little longer, I'm kind of still sleeping after being awake the whole night of making love." He murmured with his eyes closed.I quickly covered my face and took a deep breath. I felt so embarrassed for acting like I did last night, my hands were on his body and my lips on his when we walked into the palace. It was as if I was a dog in heat, all the gasps I heard from the servants and guards meant nothing to me, all I wanted was to feel his skin on mine.Jack's look was still stuck in my head, he had his mouth wide open.I looked at Henry then smiled, he really was wild too, he couldn't even hold me on the bed, we made use of the floor and couch in his room.Gosh, if my
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 30. letting go
Adrean's p.o.vIt made no sense how my guards had not seen Paula or Henry leave the palace. I was furious and very worried about her. She might have had feelings for him but there was just no way she could return with him without saying a word to me.Moreover, she had that drug, maybe she got weak and really passed out.When Henry walked in, I cleared my throat. He moved closer and punched my face.I stumbled a bit in shock and held my cheek."If you ever lay a finger, or even look at my wife. I will kill you Adrean " he spat.I stood upright and chuckled softly. I was fed up of his righteous attitude when he was the bad guy in Paula's life."You sure have some guts to say that Henry. The last time I checked, your wife had a broken heart because of you. Her position was even worse than a concubine. You are the bad guy and you don't deserv
ROYAL HEARTBREAK 31. Marriage
Lauren's p.o.vI was in shock over what Paula had told me and the rest of the ladies. But it made sense, king Adrean wanted her at all cost and he was willing to be selfish. But dragging her was out of option. It was even worse because it could have ruined Paula.I sighed then stood up from the bed and walked to the balcony. I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind.The rest of the ladies were with Paula in the library while I chose to have a few minutes to myself.Was I suppose to write to the king over her achieved happiness and success or let it be. One way or another the king had to know about her, if a year was to go by without him knowing it would be a bad sign and he would come here to see if she really was doing well. Well no matter how I looked at it, Henry was now our king and this now was our homeland."Home sweet home," I muttered under my breath.&n
