I turned to look at him, and he bent to kiss my lips. He lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around him.
Kissing me, he placed himself inside me and began to pump. I liked it.
I knew we couldn’t do this soon because of my growing bump, so I enjoyed it.
He travelled with his kisses to the sweet spot on my neck, and I looked up with my eyes shut to enjoy the feeling. I wanted him to claim me so severely, and Monica wanted it too.
Darius carried me out of the shower into the bedroom and laid me on the
bed to continue what he had started in the shower.
Laying spent on the bed, he turned to look at me.
“Guess what?” he said, and I was attentive.
“Hardy hooked up with Shanon,” He said, and I gasped and then smiled.
“Wow!” I said because I did not see that coming at all.
“How did you find out?” I asked him, and he smiled.
“After hearing what Lori did to Casey, and knowing Nikolas is involved and that he is at large, Hardy became worried that Shanon might be a part of it too and might be playing him just like Lori played Casey. You needed to see him; he was a confused mess,” Darius said, and I frowned.
“That is serious,” I said, and Darius nodded.

“Apparently, she told him my father was discussing something

confidential with her uncle when she walked in on them. My father thought she heard the discussion, and because of that, her uncle offered to take her away to spare her life.
Also, she did not return because since my father must have done that to her, my mother might do the same. It was weird, but I know my father has killed people for less, so it is plausible that she had to follow Glenda’s father to the south to avoid my father’s wrath.
When we catch Nikolas, I want to find out what he was discussing with my father that made him send Shanon away. It must be very serious.” he said, and I had a theory.
“What if it was his bastard? What if Nikolas knew of the bastard or what transpired between him and Jenny. Looking at everything, Jenny was your father’s darkest secret. What he did with that woman was enough for him. to lose face. He had to somehow salvage himself.
He did not want people to know of her. He flirted with many women but kept Jenny a secret because something bad might have come out of it. So he might have been discussing either Jenny or her son with Nikolas and thought Shanon heard,” I said and shook my head after thinking of my theory and realising I had nothing to support it with.
“I might also be wrong; she might have lied about the reason. I guess we will never know until we catch Nikolas,” I said, and he nodded.
“Alpha Ramsey told me that the fake king has a very powerful person behind him.” He said, which made it more interesting because if that was the case, then this bastard was not the one at the top, but a means to an
end.
“We need to catch the guy to know what is really happening here,” I said, not wanting to overthink the situation.
“Let us follow the plan and see what happens from there. Your

inauguration is in five days. Let us rest so you can look sharp that day. I can’t wait for you to be crowned,” I said, and he smiled and touched my
nose
“And you will be queen a week after the inauguration,” he pointed out, and I beamed at him. I had butterflies thinking of my upcoming wedding and claiming. I could not wait to be completely joined to Darius. I looked forward to it.
We remained in bed in each other’s arms until we finally fell asleep.
Morning came, and we went for breakfast. Everyone was present. There was an awkwardness in the atmosphere even though not everyone present knew of Lori’s treachery, the ones that knew made it radiate into the atmosphere.
I noticed Jake was not around, and when I asked about him. Nellie said he had gone to Wonderland to see his son. His daughter was still locked up in the Estate, but I doubted we would yield anything important. As things were, all that mattered was Lori, the Hand guy, and the person supporting
him.
None of the people we had locked up presently could give us useful information. Lori and the Hand handled the information so well that no one would be useful if caught.
Lori might not be the mastermind, but she was his tool, the one he sent and the only one that had direct contact with him and knew who he was. She was all we needed, so I will be satisfied with having an eye on her until they meet and we swoop in.
“How did the questioning go?” Nellie asked. I wondered why she decided to have breakfast with us instead of David and his family.
“We are still trying to get as much information as possible from the prisoners,” Darius said to stop others from telling her what was really going on, and she smiled at him.

“Your Majesty,” she teased and looked at Abelardo,

“Your Eminence,” she teased him too, but both Darius and Abelardo had false smiles on their faces. No one could miss it. They sucked at acting, and Nellie caught on.
“What’s with the two of you? You should be in celebratory mode,” she said, surprised by their mood. Darius nodded at her.
“We can’t celebrate when the king is still at large, and some people are missing,” he said, and Nellie nodded.
“Still, you got some victory, you should be proud of yourselves. Now you have the power to deal with them as you see fit without that corrupt council getting involved. It is a huge improvement,” She said, and they nodded.
“Anyway, we are almost done with the wedding plans for the blue moon. I wanted to know if you all will be going on honeymoons before we start implementing the plan,” She asked, and Darius nodded.
“Yes, I will be taking a short holiday with my wife,” He said. The others agreed to do the same, and Nellie nodded.
“I will look for the perfect spot. Fit for Royalty,” she said. There was genuine joy in her eyes. I wondered what would happen if she found out the truth.
After breakfast, Darius went to speak to his friends while Kara and I joined Eloise in her wing.
The Gamma wing was stunning, and I noticed that Eloise had made plenty of modifications to the place. She had always been the type to own a place thoroughly, and this was her own wing.
We entered her bedroom and sat in the living section of the room.

“What is this I hear about that snake?” Eloise asked about Lori and then served us juice.
“I was surprised too. “Kara said.
“What are we going to do? We let the ring leader go,” Eloise said, and I
nodded.
“I still can’t wrap my head around it,” I confessed.
I had maintained a strong facade to lend Darius strength, but the truth of the situation was that Lori outsmarted us, and it did not sit well with me
at all.
“She wasn’t dumb after all, cunning bitch,” Kara said, giving Lori a promotion.
“I used to think she was dumb, but after Theo told me what she managed to pull off, I have to give it to her; she is smart,” Eloise said, and I stood up and began to pace.
