Camila's POVA knock on my door jolted me awake. I sat up in bed, looking at my bedside clock, realizing it was fifteen minutes before I was to wake up. The knock came again and I wondered who it was very early this morning. I walked over to the door as I tied my robe. I pulled the door open and I came face to face with Adrian who was staring down at me with crossed arms. "Your Highness…" I bowed my head. "What do you want from me this early morning, sir?" He handed me a black folder and I pulled it open, it was the contract I asked him to draft for us. "I brought the contract to you." He said and I looked up at him in disbelief. "It's 5 am in the Dawn, your highness." I pointed out and he just shrugged. "Are you trying to get me to read it while I'm still sleepy so you can take advantage of me through the contract, and add additional details we didn't agree on?""I'm not asking you to sign it standing on the spot so I guess I am being accused falsely here, young woman." He replied
ADRIAN'S POV"Your majesty, you can't marry that lady." The prime minister said as i sat comfortably on my chair. I looked at him with a raised eye brow."And why can I not marry the woman I love?" I asked him and he looked around to see everyone at the table supporting him with a slight nod. "We can't have a commoner be our queen Your Majesty. It is in the rules of the kingdom…""Then we can just change the rules. Do not forget I am the king. I make the rules and change the rules to fit the benefit of the kingdom and I know Camila is the best queen we can have in this kingdom." I replied. "You can't do this, Adrian. My daughter will benefit your kingdom and the bond between our two kingdoms. Seat of Rossi and Seat of Trace will benefit a lot from each other if this marriage between you and Eliza goes on." King Trace tried to explain to me and I knew well they all just wanted to manipulate my seat of power for his selfish reasons best known to him."Maybe she can be of very good use
ADRIAN'S POVThe preparation of the wedding and coronation was going by very fast and everyone in the palace seemed to be so busy with one thing or the other. I barely saw Camila and Isabella because they were always busy choosing decorations or fitting the wedding dress. I watched as Isabella was glad because I would be getting married to Camila but it made my heart ache knowing it was all fake and an act so I wouldn't get married to Eliza. I still couldn't get her mother out of my heart and just saying her name alone still brought a great ache to my heart. "Your majesty, you have a guest," Drake said, making me turn to look back at the door. "Who is it?" I asked and just then, Xander, my younger brother walked in with his hands perfectly tucked in his pockets. "Ohh, it's him.""Oh come on brother. Do not act like you're not excited to see me." Xander, my younger brother walked over to me, throwing his arm over my shoulders. "I heard my big bro is finally moving on and getting mar
CAMILA'S POV I sat in front of the mirror, looking at the complete makeover I had been given. I never knew I could ever be transformed this way. My hair was beautifully decorated with golds, silvers, and diamonds and I looked like a character straight out of a fantasy novel. Only that this is real. I heard the door close. I turned to see Isabella rush in with her pad in her hands. She wasn't looking and just scribbled away. "Isabella, watch out," I said, just before she tripped over the table and she fell, her pad falling off with its screen smashing into pieces. I rushed over to her, helping her to her feet as tears started to well up in her eyes. She walked over to the smashed pad and the tears rolled down her cheeks. "What's wrong baby? Will Daddy scold you for breaking the pad?" She nodded gently and I wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks. "I will talk to him, okay? He won't scold you. And you have to promise me, no writing while walking." She nodded before pulling me in
ADRIAN'S POVThe sound of everything around us faded as my lips touched hers. Sparks went through my body l, feeling her lips on mine and I couldn't explain the feeling I was getting. As I slowly pulled away, her breath was heavy and she stared at me with an expression I couldn't read. I took her hand before turning to face everyone. I still didn't understand the feeling because I had only felt that way when Isabella's mother kissed me.We both sat on our thrones and Isabella ran over to her to sit on her lap and she happily let her. As others twirled and danced on the dance floor, she was focused on Isabella who I noticed didn't have her writing pad with her. "Where is your pad?" I asked Isabella and she immediately hugged Camila."She might have mistakenly smashed it when it slipped from her hands," Camila said, and I knew immediately that Isabella was walking and writing at the same time. "You won't scold her okay? I have warned her against it." "So you're trying to take her side
CAMILA'S POVEliza looked at me with disbelief in her eyes and I didn't care one bit. "How dare you speak to me that way? You are nothing but a commoner…""Who is the maid who let you in here in the first place." I heard Adrian's voice and I turned, along with Eliza to see him get out of bed. He walked over to me and kissed my cheek gently.I knew it was just to spite Eliza but I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach and I wondered what was wrong with me. "Adrian, Camila hit me. Is this the kind of woman you want to be by your side as your queen? She has no manners…" "Enough, Eliza. If you value your stay here, never cross paths with my wife again. If you cause any more issues, I won't hesitate to throw you and your father out of my kingdom." Adrian warned and she looked all embarrassed as she stormed out of the room. "Good riddance." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled before letting go of my waist. "You should prepare for the day, my queen. We are going on our honeymoon trip today."
CAMILA'S POVI looked up to see a man around Adrian's age standing a few steps away from me with a lady in his arms. She looked sassy and her bikini was even more revealing than the bikinis I normally see, her sarong was transparent and one could see right through it."Good day to you," I said gently as I lifted Isabella in my arms as she tried to show me something on her tab. "He is the king of Seat of Wealth. Daddy doesn't like him much." She said and I tried to keep my expression the same way. "I expected it to be someone more beautiful, more attractive than Eliza but I guess King Adrian's taste dropped drastically these past few years he is without a woman." She said, looking at me with a disgusted look on her face. "At least I've got a better shape and man than you even in decent clothes," I replied and she looked furious like she was going to hit me but I felt an arm around my waist. "You should teach Evelyn some manners, Kingsley. My wife isn't someone who lets insults slip
ADRIAN'S POVI don't know what was wrong with me or what Camila was doing to my mind and my body. I have been feeling the same way I felt towards Claire, Isabella's mother. I don't know if it was time for me to move on but this lady right in front of me just made it so easy for me to love again.But is this attraction I'm feeling towards her love? She stared at me as I admired her and hurriedly looked away with a hue of pink rising on her cheeks. "Thanks." She said before she continued to eat. After eating, we walked down the beach as the ocean water calmly washed our feet. "Camila, have you ever had a boyfriend?" I asked her and she stopped before looking up at me, but I kept a straight look. "No. I can't remember." She replied and I looked at her in confusion."What do you mean by you can't remember?" I asked her and she let out a sigh. "Four years ago, I just woke up with no memory of who I am or who I was. Although my best friend and mother tried so hard to remind me of my pas
