A Night With The King

“I am sorry that I doubted you,”

Sophie whispered.

“Don’t say sorry anymore, okay? All I want is for you to trust me from now on, I got us, I got our family and I will do everything to protect what we share, don’t ever for a moment think that I will regret doing that,”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

He told her, he caressed her face, wiping the tears from her eyes, she nodded as she couldn’t say any more words and her throat felt tight.

“I love you, Sophie, so very much, I will never regret loving you, don’t ever be scared that I might change, because I won’t,”

He continued, her eyes watered again at his words, she didn’t know if she could ever be able to repay the love and kindness that he had shown to her, no one had ever loved her so dearly as he does and it made her determined to show him just as much love.

“I love you too, Lance, so much, I don’t want to say sorry anymore because you said I shouldn’t be I feel sorry, I should have believed in our love a little more, it won’t happen again, I will love and believe in you from now on, I want to be with you, Lance, I don’t want to ever be alone,”

Sophie went into his arms when he reached for her and he wrapped his arms around her in a protective way.

“I love you, my beautiful Sophie, and you too, my little princess,”

he spoke to their baby who made sure to move to show she was there, both her mom and dad looked at each other and smiled.

“You are my happiness, Sophie, my life, you can’t leave me because if you do, my life will be meaningless, you are trapped with me, my love,”

He said and gently placed a sweet delicate kiss on her cheek, then he kissed her nose, both of her eyes, and her forehead before his mouth found hers, she leaned into the kiss, she missed him so much. It wasn’t a rushed or loss-filled kiss, just a slow kiss that was meant to reassure and smoothen her, it worked because she felt herself relax even more, the event and horror of the past week disappearing from her head and in its place, a gentle sweet loving feeling settled.

“I love you,”

Sophie said when they stopped kissing.

“I love you even more,”

He replied and pulled both of them back to a lying position on the bed with his arms still wrapped around her.

“Do you mind telling me how you were able to get away? We were preparing to send the money when I got your call,”

Lance said. Sophie had Gavin to thank, if not for him, she might have rescued a little too late because if Damon had woken up and met her in the house, she was one hundred percent sure he would have hurt her, both physically and mentally, she shivered at the thought of what might have happened if Gavin hadn’t helped her escape, he was truly a God sent.

“One of Damon’s men helped me, this isn’t the first time he helped me, last time when Damon asked him to bring me to him, he told me to leave Briscout and that’s why I was able to escape last time, this time, Damon came into the room I was in ready to hurt me, I hit his head with his whiskey bottle, did even more damage with the wooden light-stand and ran out of the room, I was looking for a way out when Gavin found me, he pointed a gun at me and I thought I was going to die but he told me not to go to the gate, took me to a place that would lead me directly to the main road and also gave me some cash to get a ride,”

Sophie explained. Saying it out made her see just how much Gavin did for her.

“Wow, that’s, I don’t know what to say,”

Lance said, she understood him, it was a miracle that someone who had worked for a devil like Damon for so long still had some goodness in him.

“That’s not all, he was the one that reached out to Patrick through the number that he had given me when I left, they took my purse and everything with me when they took me and he called Patrick without even letting me know, I only found out he did earlier when he came to tell me that you guys were willing to pay to get me back,”

Sophie explained.

“Wow, he deserves some grace then, he might have to pay for his other crime but if you want, you can help him get a lesser sentencing,”

Lance said.

“They have been arrested?”

Sophie asked in surprise, she used to think Damon was above the authorities with how he operated in Briscout without any fear of consequences.

“Not yet, but they will be, there have been quite a couple of charges against them and this made it worse, I kind of entered an agreement with their government, I am willing to build a partnership that will see to the growth of Otano and Briscout but he has to get that crime and his men off the streets first,”

His words made Sophie realize just how much power the man she loved held, why did she ever think he would lose the kingdom because of her? She really didn’t think it through properly.

“That’s good to know,”

Sophie said with a yawn, she felt sleepy again and Lance noticed.

“You can sleep, baby, I will wake you up when we want to land, you still have enough time to sleep,”

He told her. She felt so safe in his arms that it didn’t take long for her to fall back to sleep.

Like Lance had promised, as soon as they landed in Otano, they drove straight to the hospital even though it was late when they arrived, the doctor suggested a series of tests and scans which she had to do, and Lance went with her to every one of them even though she told him that he didn’t have to, he replied by telling her not to say nonsense, not only did he follow her around like a personal bodyguard, he didn’t let go of her hands. The people in the hospital already knew who she was so no one raised an eyebrow when they saw their king follow her up and down the hospital. They finally finished all the tests and scans by one am and it was time to see the doctor.
