Chapter 22

• Sophie stared in awe as guard after guard came into her cell room taking out all the things that were inside, she didn’t know what they were up to and they refused to answer her. If this was the king punishing her then not only was he an evil man, he was also petty too. She did nothing wrong. He was the one that came to meet her when he was drunk and insisted on laying on the bed with her even when she tried to send him back. Last night had been hell for her, she barely got any sleep being squished up against him and when she finally fell asleep, she was woken by him while he was trying to leave. The way he had asked her if anything happened between them the night before, if anything, it was enough to confirm that he really has no memory of what happened that night two months and a week ago. She wondered if it would have been different if she had not sneaked out that night before he woke up, maybe it would have been easier to tell him about the baby being his.
• “And be faced with getting the baby collected from you?”
• The voice in her head queried. She was right, It was better that he didn’t know they slept together and she made sure to tell him that nothing happened between them last night. He looked relieved by her answer and left without even apologizing for crashing into her bed the night before. She didn’t really expect a king to apologize to her.
