>>Ulrich That was heavy. I’ve lived a good life so I didn’t even think that there could be a reason like this which explains why she was so distrusting. That was wrong of me. I feel so stupid now. I just relied on the mate bond, I should have gotten to know more about her. Well, not that she gave me a chance… But still, I saw firsthand what that woman Mary did to her. But Jena let it go. I didn’t think about it deeply at that time, but isn’t it because she’s used to this? She expected she might get betrayed. “Did you take care of that guy who was stalking her? Ron?” “Yea,” He nodded, “We got a restraining order against him.”

>>Portia Juniur is a college student. He’s working part-time here at the cafe to earn extra cash.“Those are your friends?” He asked me as he passed me the ice cream tray. “Yea,” I answer. He glanced at them again, “All of them look a lot older than you.” I held the tray in my hands and then paused, “Yea…” I nodded, “They are,” I didn’t pay it much attention but now that I think about it, I’m a lot younger than all of them. Jena is the one closest to my age and she’s twenty-six. “Don’t get stressed over i

>>Jena “Egon!!” Portia’s call was answered, “Egon! Help!” Her voice trembled after she heard the sound of her mate but unfortunately for her and for me, “Egon….?” The call didn’t connect properly, “E-gon…” The tooting sound of the call ending made us both look at each other in horror. The weather was bad, it had started raining more heavily and the signals were disrupted. I wonder if he even heard us at all. Did he hear Portia calling out his name and asking for help? The sound of glass crunching from the kitchen made us both stand up in fear. We had an intruder! “What do we do?” Portia whispered and I took her hand.

>>Jena WowI relaxed in the bathtub. “Penthouses sure are different,” I had my eyes closed as I enjoyed the warm bath, “This feels amazing,” I was lying down submerged from the neck down in the water but I kept my feet out so they wouldn’t get wet. Portia had put a plastic bag around them, so no water would get inside but I still decided to be careful with them. Portia giggled, “Right,” She was in the parallel bathtub, “It’s a good thing we get a fresh set of clothes too.” I smiled at her words. I knew what was going through their heads when the men offered that and I decided to play along.&

>>Jena I heard the whole conversation Ulrich had with his father. I guess he’s in a tight spot. I asked Portia about it and it turns out the Queen’s health is declining, and in response, the King is worried too so they want Ulrich to take over but a new king only takes over when he’s marked his mate. That would be me, right… I bit my lower lip as I walked toward the nightclub. If Ulrich takes the throne, wouldn’t that make me his Queen? My heart felt heavy. I don’t think I can take on such a responsibility like that. A Queen I shook my head. I’m an exotic dancer, to think someone like me would become Queen… I shook my head again. Ulrich is stuck with such a poor option like me. I sighed. And yet he wants only me… The king left yesterday immediately after scolding Ulrich and the two guards came in. I didn’t leave my room immediately. I let them talk among themselves and when they made their way to the second floor, I left the room. On my way to the elevator, still in Ulrich’s clo
