“You have a new fellow,”The guard who had dragged her in after her name was registered as a criminal said as he pushed her towards a group of women all wearing similar clothes, they all looked at her weirdly as she tried to steady herself but she was much too weak to do anything right, aside from the fact that she has been toasted up and down for hours, she hasn’t even eaten and her body was beyond weak.“You better be ready to talk, neither the king nor anyone else will buy your lies, better speak up and get punished,”The guard said and turned to leave locking her up with the women.It was like having a staring contest with the women, there were five of them in the small room, she knew the living conditions here were bad but she never thought it would be this bad, there was basically nothing in here but worn-out beds that looked more like trash than a bed, a small table and nothing else, the beds bunks looked uncomfortable.“Are you going to introduce yourself or do you want a beat

And that’s how a series of horrible events started for Sophie, after she was able to get water for the self-acclaimed queen, she had to wash the toilet and also run errands for the other inmates and before she was finally able to take a break, it was almost afternoon, just when Sophie thought her problems for the day are over, she got called by the prison warder.“So, let’s make this easy for the both of us, I will rather be anywhere but here, and apparently, you don’t have a lawyer and can’t even get one because your offense is against the number person of this kingdom, let’s not make things hard for ourselves, you tell me where the diamonds are, I report to my boss who will in turn report to the king and viola, we all win, except you will have to serve jail time for daring to steal from the king of Otano,”The lady said as Sophie sat across from her in the interrogation room, Sophie had nothing to say, nothing, yes, she knew she would not be able to get a lawyer, even if the king al

Sophie woke up feeling aches all over, she tried to get up from where she lay but realized she couldn’t move her right hand because it appeared to be tied to something, she opened her eyes and the light in the room almost blinded her, she closed her eyes again trying to remember where she was, the last thing she remembered was scrubbing the restroom where all the women as instructed by the self-acclaimed queen of the prison, how did she end up in a lighted room? She tried to remember but nothing came, all she remembered was that she felt dizzy and then there was darkness, she must have passed out or something.“I see you are awake,”She heard a man’s voice say and tried to open her eyes properly, the man was wearing a white robe and for a moment, Sophie feared she must have died in the restroom and she was now in heaven, it took a moment to realize the man was a doctor and when she finally did, she figured out where she was.“Doctor? What happened to me? Why am I here?”She managed to

Lance waited for her to answer his question. She looked shocked that he knew, surely, she didn’t think that the doctors would not tell him? He was the king. She should have known he would be told. “Did I make you speechless? Did you think I won’t find out you are carrying a child?”He asked her. He didn’t know why he was being so lenient with her. he should treat her like he would treat any other person who had the mind to steal from him but she looked so weak and fragile that he couldn’t bring himself to keep yelling at her. Her body was shaking when he got close to her. Even though her voice sounded bold, he could feel the fear in her. Maybe he would have believed her if she wasn’t carrying a child but she was pregnant which could only mean that she had a man who must be the one that she had planned with to steal from him. “Sophie? Who is the father of the child you are carrying? Is he the one that put you up to this? Did you guys, plan to steal from me together and run away? Is t

“Patrick, it is all your fault that I didn’t get to meet with that driver guy today, what’s his name?”Lance asked as he took off his clothes one after the other. He had a long day today and only had a fifteen-minute break. He just got out of the meeting and it was past nine pm. The most exhausting meeting he ever had. Those men were hard to get through to, if he ever had thought of persuading and making them see the reason why cutting their earnings, for now, would help a lot would be easy, it flew out of the window less than thirty minutes into the meeting, they didn’t want to listen to him. He hated how there wasn’t any woman among them, it would have been easier to persuade them if they were women because women have softer hearts and are considerate. Maybe it was time to replace all those bastards with intelligent and compassionate women who would put the needs of others in mind like his stepmother had done when she raised him as her son even though her husband cheated on her to
