Chapter 186
At that moment, the security guard's instruction again made the ladies even more angrier. Their faces tightened, their pride stung, and the arrogance they carried so boldly suddenly felt under attack. They couldn't believe that these men were still adamant, that they were still standing their ground, that they still didn't want them to go in. For women of their standing, women used to walking into any place without question, this was humiliation of the highest order. The audacity of a common doorman telling them no burned like fire in their chests.At that moment, without wasting any more time, they said.“This is going to be the last time we're going to repeat themselves.” Their voices rose sharply, laced with venom. Their heels clicked against the stone floor as one of them stepped closer, her words slicing through the air.“Step aside now immediately step aside.” The warning in their tone was clear; they weren’t women who were used to being denied.At that moment, the security guar

At that moment, one of the seven ladies in their perfectly ironed satin skirts and elegant pointed heels, crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the entrance. Her dark sunglasses reflected the soft gold letters on the glass door.She let out a short chuckle under her breath and said in a slow, measured tone, “I think it won’t be such a bad idea if we actually step inside and see what this little setup is all about.”Immediately the other six ladies turned to her, a mix of irritation and curiosity in their faces. Monk Ridley was always the one who liked to observe before striking a rare trait among them but they knew she wasn’t soft. She was just calculated.She continued, “We can’t create havoc just yet. Not without knowing exactly who’s behind this place. We don’t know these people, and that’s already suspicious enough. Nobody opens a business on Z Street without clearance from us the guardians. You all know that.”One of the other women, Mallie, scoffed and clicked her tongue.
Chapter 184
At that moment, upon hearing what Sophia had just said, the king then nod his head slowly. His eyes lingered on his daughter for a moment, and a long sigh slipped from his lips. But deep down inside the king’s mind, a bitter thought twisted through his heart why couldn’t it be that Sophia was actually his eldest daughter? That question alone stirred a wave of regret in him. If Sophia had been born first, he wouldn’t have found himself in this situation. He wouldn’t have struggled to convince her. He wouldn’t have to push so hard or face such resistance. Sophia, with all her wisdom and grace, would have accepted his judgment maybe not without questions, but certainly without defiance. Then the king leaned back on his seat, lost in thought. He didn’t know exactly what to do anymore. The weight of the crown suddenly felt heavier than usual. But what made it worse, what truly broke his heart… was the reality that Sophia was also sick. And from the look of things, it wasn’t the kind of

At that moment, Naomi took a slow breath in, as if she were steadying herself not just before her father the king, but before the very weight of her future. Her eyes were calm, focused, yet carried a blazing defiance, a fire of someone who would not be moved by power, pressure, or persuasion.“Father,” she began, her voice not loud, but firm enough to silence even the rustling of the guards’ armor nearby, “with all due respect, you know I value your judgment. You’ve led this kingdom and the country with wisdom. You’ve raised me with strength. And I respect you more than words can say.”The King’s gaze didn’t waver. He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his fingers as he studied her.She continued, “But you also know… I’m a woman of principle. I’ve never just followed what the world demands of me I follow what I know is right for me. I’ve always done that, Father. And this this so-called arrangement it’s not for me. That person… Tyler he’s not the ideal man I dreamed of. Not

At that moment, silence fell across the royal chamber as Naomi’s words echoed through the thick air. Her voice was calm but firm, and her face though composed held a fierce storm beneath her sharp eyes. She had chosen to speak not as a submissive daughter, but as a proud princess one who understood her worth and wasn’t afraid to defend it.Now she looked her father directly in the eyes, her tone unwavering as she said, “Father, I am deeply sorry if my words come off as disrespectful, but I cannot keep silent about this. I cannot pretend to agree with a decision that disregards everything I believe in. With all due respect, I am a woman, yes, but I am also your first daughter a princess born not just to be gifted away like a trophy, but to be respected, fight for my love, to be heard, and to be understood.”Naomi took a breath, steadying her voice as she continued, “You are asking me to accept someone that boy, someone I do not know, someone without history, without standing, without e

At that moment, upon hearing what the King had just said, Princess Naomi shifted slightly in her seat. Her brows furrowed, and the corner of her lips tightened. She didn't want to be rude or seem impatient, but the way her father was speaking in circles, it only built more tension in her chest.She cleared her throat gently, lowering her gaze briefly before raising it again to meet her father’s eyes. Then she spoke, her voice calm yet firm laced with the kind of controlled frustration that only someone close to royalty could express without crossing the line.“Father,” Naomi began respectfully, “please forgive me, but I... I don’t understand what you're trying to say.”Immediately Sophia turned to glance at her sister, sensing the subtle irritation building beneath Naomi's collected tone.Then Naomi continued, “You said something about a declaration, and something about someone making a choice... But I don’t remember hearing anything like that before now. What other rules or decisions
