No, please, it can't be... Most of these signs and symptoms here, she has them.

Some people glared at her as she passed, but she bowed to them slightly and walked away with her shoulders high.Pregnant...?No matter how she tried not to think about it, her traitorous mind keeps going back to that awful possibility. Terror seized her system.Heavens, no. It can't be. She convinced herself stubbornly. There's no way---A girl ran into her."Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" The girl said as she pulled away from her.Danika caught herself from falling. She looked at the girl in front of her.

Doesn't know how to start vindicating herself because she knows that all her attempt will be futile.These are the set of people her father enslaved and tortured for the past ten years. They look upon her with hate, judgement and rage.Suddenly, she wished Sally was there with her. Sally... Anybody...These people will devour her. Her baby... No, there's no baby, Danika.The words didn't convince her like it's meant to. She can only watch the angry mob in front of her.There is no pleading with them. Or begging them. It will change nothing."I did not steal that. I have never seen that bef

Vetta was having so much happiness as she remained in Karandy's house. She might not be at the market, but she didn't need to be.She could hear the angry screams of the women even all the way from here. They are beating Danika up so badly.Vetta giggled. She doesn't know what feels better right now... A good orgasm? Or the certainty that her plan is going so damn well?"You look so happy, mistress." Karandy's voice came behind her."Oh, yes. I'm so so so happy. This is the best thing that has ever happened in a long time. I don't know why I did not think of this plan all these while. The people... Damn, they hate her a lot." She drawled happily."Yes, they do. I'm sure they'll even burn her alive. It hasn't happened in ages but then again, all thieves aren't King Cone's daughter."You're right. Will they burn her?"

King Lucien has been staring at Danika in that unreadable expression of his, and they've been standing there for a very long time. More than an hour.His face might be unreadable, but Chad could have sworn that there is banked-up rage in his eyes.The king had been coming back from his walk with the princess when he'd walked to him and told him everything that happened in the marketplace.King Lucien showed no visible reaction but Chad had seen his muscle tense.

King Lucien's deep voice pulled him away from the recent past."My king." He looked at the formidable man standing beside him. His eyes were still at the fragile woman who laid on the bed, bandaged in
