EPISODE 59
“You are dwelling on the ‘what if’ scenarios and ruining the most valuable memories. Tell me what will you gain by pushing the reality away? At the end you have to accept it no matter what. By that time you would have hurt her”
“Trust me, I un-derstand your situation now. But there is nothing anyone could do now. Just try to accept the fact that you are going to become a father and that your kid and wife needs you.”
“So, just stay beside them and live the moment. Stop worrying about the future because it would bring good” Harry said.
“I know. But I couldn’t stop thinking of what if scenarios. I un-derstand everything, but” Louis stopped in the middle.
“Don’t you love children? Don’t tell me that you don’t want to accept that someone would be sharing her with you. Don’t tell me you are jealous because of that and to cover it, you are using this topic” Harry gasped when Louis didn’t say anything.
Although part of it is right, it is not totally right. He is jealous and not ready to share but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love kids. And, he is definitely not using the danger surrounding them as a facade to cover it. He is seriously worried about it.
But, what Harry said is true. That is how Brina is..
She should be so hurt now..
Yesterday, she was very scared and terrified but once he took her into his arms and a-ssured her she dozed off like a baby.
He is her strength and weakness. His a-ssurance and support are her best friends while his silence and uncertainty are her worst enemies.
It is up to him how he will make her feel.
Louis sighed and pushed his mind to an optimistic way.
“Thanks Harry. You helped me clean my mind. I owe you a big deal” Louis said.
“Just make me godfather, dude. That’s enough” Harry said, chuckling.
“That is something my wife has to decide. I will recommend you, don’t worry.” Louis playfully said.
Even after ending the call, Louis stayed out a few more minutes to clear his mind.
After that he returned back to the room only to look at his angry wife fuming. She is leaning onto the headboard with her arms crossed.
So bossy….
So se-xy…
*ahem…*
“Someone is angry,” Louis said as he walked to Brina who was fuming in rage.
However, the exhaustion and worry was evident in her eyes, making him guilty.
“How should I extinguish the flames now?” he asked as he hug-ged her shoulders but only to get a cold shoulder from his wife.
“Ouch” Louis pouted. But only to get no response from her.
“Perhaps I should bring gallons of cold water and cool down their fire in my Wifey’s eyes ,” he said as he leaned his head on her shoulder.
Brina just averted her face in another direction. But there is a small smile on her li-ps.
She is not angry. Not totally angry, just a little bit.
She knows Louis very well. So, she also knows that he takes some time but will eventually come back.
Whatever he does, it will ultimately point to the love he has for her. So, she figured out that he was thinking about the dangers and the chances of her getting hurt.
When we are extremely worried, the good things just stop making sense for a while. It is what that happened to Louis, at least it is what she hoped.
“Or, I could use more effective means” Louis said when he saw her averted face.
Getting no answer, he abruptly turned her face towards him and started kis-sing her li-ps fervently.
He slowly and gently pushed her back to the head board and continued pleasuring her mouth.
Ahh… how much he missed this.
Meanwhile, Brina didn’t reciprocate nor she reacted. She opposed it, making Louis worry and increase his pace.
“Uff..hey. wait, I still didn’t brush my teeth” Brina said, pushing him away.
Louis almost laughed but held back.
She is about to get up from bed but he stopped her.
He is grinning like an idiot. As she isn’t angry at him, he could finally sigh in relief.
Her anger and cold shoulder are the last thing he wants now, especially in this mess they are handling. Not only she but he needs her warmth and support too.
It is mutual.
“What?” Brina asked when he didn’t let her go.
“You are on bed rest. I will carry you” he said as he sprinted to her side and stopped her from getting out of bed.
“No need. As if you care about us” she said, mocking him.
Louis held her shoulders to stop her. He made her sit on the edge of the bed and then kneeled down, so that his face was in the level with her stomach.
‘Young guy, let’s cooperate all right, ‘ he thought, eyeing her stomach.
“Of course I care about both of you, love. I was just angry at this little guy for troubling you so much. It is not that I don’t care. I was angry, but now, it has subsided” he said.
“What you mean is something that is actually troubling you?” Brina asked, mocking him again.
“Ahh.. a little. But not now” Louis said.
“Really?” Brina asked. She knew that Louis didn’t accept wholeheartedly yet. But, at least he is trying his best.
She also knows that he is doing this so that she won’t get worried or hurt or angry.
But that’s fine, this is good progress.
Eventually he will love the baby more than her.
She knows how Louis is. No parent could resist their baby’s cuteness, especially a good person like Louis.
“Yes, really! You want me to prove it?” Louis asked.
And, without waiting for the answer, he pulled her shirt up and pressed his head to her stomach. He gently kis-sed her tummy.
“See, I was the first one to kis-s our baby. So sad that you can’t” he teased her. However, there is a genuine glow in his face.
It came subconsciously that he himself didn’t know that.
Once he starts accepting, it won’t take much time for her to fall in love.
….
“Where are we going?” Brina asked when Louis pulled out a jumpsuit for her and helped her wear it. He is treating her like a little baby now.
Not that she complained about it anyway.
“Family breakfast. The last Royal breakfast for Greta” Louis said, devilish flame glistening his eyes.
He kis-sed Brina’s forehead and hug-ged her ti-ghtly.
Greta tried to harm his wife and almost killed their baby. In no way he will let her go!
If this would have really happened, he is aware that she would have lost his Brina. She would have never come back to normal.
“So, a good show is waiting for us, hmm?” Brina asked as she placed her hand on his che-st when Louis hug-ged her and continued hugging her.
“Yep. After she is taken care of, you will be un-der strict orders, Hon. Bed rest, no mental stress, healthy food and mainly no overthinking” Louis said, now making her sit in front of the vanity table as he pulled out a hair dryer to dry her hair.
“Why do I feel like I am going to suffer your overbearing protection?” Brina asked
“No doubt in that, Wifey.” Louis a-ssured making Brina pout
“I recall Rhianna warning you that you and the fetus are weak. We have to go and get you another check up too” Louis said, avoiding the topic.
Brina could only roll her eyes but eventually nodded her head, obediently.

“Why am I called to this family breakfast? I don’t want to be part of the silly time you people have” Greta scoffed as she walked grumpily towards the huge dining table.
King Edgar, her son, almost rolled his eyes and felt like strangling her to death. However, his wife Elora sque-ezed his hand un-der the table, helping him to control his raging anger.
“Mother, Edward has important news it seems. That’s why we called you” King Edgar said, gritting his teeth. However, Greta who was over the moon couldn’t detect it.
As soon as Greta heard it, she just smi-rked, totally not aware that her end is not too far.
According to her, the plan is going just as she schemed it. She is totally oblivious to the fact that her misdeeds are out on the barren ground, long back revealed.
‘Now, that useless Brina will announce that they are pregnant with a baby. Everyone will be very happy to welcome the next generation. However, after a few days, she will have miscarriage. What a nice drama ahead’ Greta thought as she haughtily sat down
‘That innocent Brina would be still taking that tonic, not aware that it provides the poison rather than the essential vitamins to her body. Now, that poison she added would start affecting her body…’ she laughed inside.
‘And, soon everyone will find out that she can’t give birth to an heir any more. Because of that, everyone will start hating her… They will call her a jinx.’
‘Even Edward will hate her or he will get pressured to marry someone else. People would never support a queen who would not give birth to the heir. So, with this rebellion that is going on, Prince will have no option but to marry someone else.’
‘Then, I can manipulate someone who would listen to me to become the queen. Like this, I will get back the reins of this kingdom again!’ he laughed evilly.
Thinking of her ‘superb’ plan, Greta beamed at herself and leisurely started drinking the juice.
…
Meanwhile, Louis and Brina arrived.
They simply sat down and started eating after the pleasantries.
A few minutes pa-ssed by and they didn’t bring up the main topic, making Greta anxious.
“What is the important news you wanted to talk about?” Greta asked, acting indifferent.
“Oh, that. We have to wait for a special person to come” Louis said as he poured wine into Brina’s gla-ss.
That was not wine but fruit juice.
It is just to fool Greta.
And, their little act was successful in that, that Greta narrowed her eyes.
Wine?
Isn’t it restricted for a pregnant woman?
Brina smiled at Louis and took a gulp. “Thanks honey. I have been craving for this one” she said, kis-sing his cheek.
King Edgar chuckled. “You guys are having all night to yourselves. Still you are giving us dog food in the mornings too” he said teasing them.
“Yeah. He took my sister in law from my room yesterday night. I had enough dog food then and I don’t want to have dog food again” Eliina pouted, supporting her father.
Their act is so natural that Greta felt uneasy in her heart. ‘Didn’t Brina go to check up a couple of days back?’ she wondered.
“Hey, I just don’t want to share my wife with anyone, got it? And, dog food? You should have already gotten accustomed to it ” Louis said, acting his level best.
Meanwhile, Greta could only roll her eyes at these silly family talks.
No manners and no refrainment.
They don’t act like a Royal family at all.
There is no dignity. There is no laconic elegance in them.
“It’s been a month since you both got married. You have also spent almost half of the month enjoying your honeymoon. When do we get to listen to the news of the heir?” Greta asked, not able to hold her anxiety anymore.
This is killing her.
This is the last plan she has and this is the last gamble left on her table to retrieve her glory back.
She was so cautious and has put a lot of effort into cooking this plan. She is just afraid what would happen to her if this goes wrong.
Meanwhile, Louis raised his eyebrow. “Just like I said, I don’t like to share my wife,” Louis said.
“So, you won’t get to listen to that news for at least two years,” he added.
“Might be by accident?” Natalie said, helping them out to bring the main topic.
“She takes her monthly shots, sister in law. However, I heard that they aren’t reliable, so we use protection too. Hence, I a-ssure you there won’t be news of it until unless we decide to have a baby” he said.
‘How badly I wish I should have got this idea a month back! Now, my wife is accidentally pregnant’ he sighed inside.
“Hmm” Natalie hummed a response, reminding Louis to continue with flow. They didn’t plan anything but decided to cover all the points.
Louis said. “Sister in law, we would be waiting for the news from you” he casually said.
“Isn’t it right, love?” Louis asked, kis-sing her li-ps.
“Of course.” Brina said, kis-sing him back. “They are the first to marry,” she added.
Meanwhile, Ethan rolled his eyes. “Don’t expect from us too” he said. “I don’t want to share my wife just like you don’t want to. And, yeah, we are totally cautious just like you” he said, crying inside to pull him inside.
“Isn’t it, right, Nat?” he asked, pecking his wife’s li-ps.
Their main motive was to make this conversation as casual and natural it could be. So that Greta wouldn’t get suspicious.
‘We just asked you all to act naturally. It doesn’t mean you have to throw dog food like this,’ Eliina thought, crying inside.
‘Damn! Why are these people making her remember her boyfriend so much these days?’ she huffed.
Meanwhile, Greta almost felt like her heart stopped.
If they are using protection as well, her plan failed.
Utterly failed.
She knew they would be cautious. But over cautious? Nah! She never thought.
She gulped her saliva.
But her sm-irk came back.
Her plan was to make Brina feel sad for losing the baby. It is just a catalyst to her plan.
However, Brina is still taking that tonic.
It would still affect her reproductive system.
However, it didn’t last long when Elora spoke.
“As we are talking about this, I remembered one thing” she said.
“Brina, I heard that you returned back the tonic? What happened, dear?” she casually asked.
“Mum, that was very bitter, so Louis said he would bring the herb doctors and make me a new tonic. The herbs doctor would be coming today” Brina said.
When Greta heard this the remaining color on her face drained.
Not only because Brina wouldn’t be using that tonic but also because another herbs doctor would be coming here. What if they detect what she did?
“I… I will be going then. You don’t have any important news to talk about but just these silly things” Greta scoffed and was about to stand up when Louis stopped her.
“Grandmother, that important news will be out soon. Please sit down or else you will regret” he said.
Greta frowned but sat down.
Sweat beads drenched her saggy forehead.
Meanwhile, the Royal guards came inside with an old man.
He was around the same age as Greta.
And, he was beaten up. His face, arms are filled with bruises while his eye is swelled up.
He is weak and he is chained up.
Overall, he looked miserable.
Meanwhile, when Greta saw him like that, she was pretty shaken up.
Her arms shivered with anger and her eyes quivered.
