"No, nothing," Pamela replied and Louis nodded. He got out of bed in complete nudity and Pamela looked away. "Get a boxer or wear anything to cover your body" she suggested. "I am going for a bath already? Besides you and I, who else is here?" Louis asked and chuckled aloud. He wondered if women still get shy after having sex with a man. But he practically cannot hide his body from her henceforth. Pamela didn't reply but wasn't comfortable to look at him. She turned and tried getting out of bed but felt like she's got a tear, a pain between her legs and wetness. She glanced at Louis and their eyes met. He squinted and pulled the quilt. His eyes went immediately to the bed covering and saw blood stains, it was much. He glanced back at Pamela and saw her looking away. He walked over to the other side of the bed and raised her up. As she stood up, he saw she was still having blood on her and held her close. "Looks like you're still bleeding" he declared and said "st

Louis glanced at Lucas sharply but didn't probe further. What does he mean by those words? Is Pamela's real parents known, her father to be precise? At least her mother was a princess. "Pamela's father is Greg and Freya's elder brother. None of them know the real relationship they shared but I happened to know about it. She's their niece not by adoption but by blood relation. Greg and Freya have the same eyes and hair colour. Compare the both to Pamela. I haven't found the right time to tell her how related she is to the Freeman's because she's one herself.." Lucas explained. Louis discovered a secret. He knew Pamela's parents met in Middletown City but didn't expect that her father had the guts to get involved with a princess despite being from a middle class family. Love has no regard for class and status, indeed. The funeral was conducted and Pamela was sobbing. Her eyes had gone red and Louis had held her in an embrace. Freya and Emma held each other and Lucas he

Clarion laid in the lounge of the private ward where Jimmy was admitted. She didn't know when she slept off but suddenly woke up to a shivering cold and a quietness that seemed not to be from this world. She hugged herself and a sweet breeze blew towards her and almost immediately heard her father in-law quiet and whispering voice called her name "Clarion" She was startled and scared. She looked around the room, Tarvan was not in there with her, he's seated by his father's bedside. A sudden fear gripped her, and she came to a realisation, has her father in-law become a ghost? She quickly climbed out of bed and went to the room where Jimmy laid. Tarvan's hand was intertwined with his father's. But he was asleep. His head was laid close to Jimmy's chest. Clarion's heart beat fast. She glanced at the lifeless body of Jimmy. She knew he was dead, she had that feeling that he's become a ghost and probably came to inform her so when she heard his voice called her name.

Louis turned himself and stood before the mirror, combing his hair. He was already dressed, he needed to attend a few things before having a management meeting with the senior employees of the Hayden's cooperation. "Grandma" Pamela chimed immediately she answered the phone. But her smile soon disappeared when she heard her grandma's voice go low. "Are you alright,grandma?" Pamela asked in a shaking worried tone. Louis paused and turned to glance at her. "What! Great grandfather?" Pamela exclaimed. She glanced at Louis and the latter saw her eyes gone red. Her complexion was ashen and immediately tears fell off her eyes. "...the royal burial will be taking place in two days' time, and it will be with your grandfather's coronation. You must be there as the next heiress to the throne. And don't forget what your grandfather said, you are yo bring your husband along, otherwise the crowning of the next heir might elude you…" Clarion explained. "Great grandfather…"

Leah asked in a frosty stare. She remembered telling that spoiled rich bitch to stay away from her son. How dare she take a bolder step by getting more intimate with Louis? "She lives here now. Is there a problem?" Louis asked, pretending to notice the resentment in his mother's voice. She hasn't said a word to him. She's only talked with Pamela and he would pretend not to know a thing. "As what, the kids' mother or what?" She demanded. She was not hiding her resentment and Louis couldn't help but put the pretends away now. "Kids, go upstairs. The adults want to talk" Louis declared and kissed their temple. The kids nodded, hugged their grandparents and giggled away. "As my fiance. Where else could she be if not with me?" Louis asked as soon as the kids left. He needed to stand in defence of the woman he loves. It's a test of true love. "What is wrong with you,Louis? How can you think of being with a woman like Pamela?" Leah asked, expressing her unhappiness. "Leah, what is
