Sold to the Cold-Hearted King

Royalty moved closer to King Zain and assisted him in his feet. He wiped his tears and smiled.

“You are in love with her?”Royalty asked.

“Yes ,,,, I ,,,, am “he stuttered.

“Am also pregnant, so don’t think about Tessa’s pregnancy, you can still have her only if you can assist her, perhaps share her pain”Royalty uttered.

“What about her husband, he’s still in love with her”King Zain muttered sadly.

“Ha ha ha ,,, Nathaniel passed away, I am just wondering why I trust you”Royalty uttered.

“You all are pretty, to be sincere your younger sister is very pretty”King Zain complimented.

“So you are crushing on promise now”Royalty teased.

“No, I am not. Tessa is also pretty, “he said.

“Physician, how many weeks is my sister “Royalty asked.

“Three weeks gone, she’s unconscious now, but you can check up on her”he replied and left afterwards.

“Would you like to go in?”King Zain asked.

“No, I am not ready now, you should go in first”Royalty uttered “I will check on promise, she’s running temperature”she said and left.

King Zain walked inside his chamber and shut the door quietly, he took some steps closer to his bed. He sat quietly on his bed and took her hand into his.

He tucked her hair behind her ear,,, a smile curve up his lips as he stares at her beautifully. Princess Tessa made some movement which made King Zain’s heart skip a thousand beats.

She opened her eyes slowly, not so quick, not too fast. Her sight was a little blurry at first but she blinked them repeatedly everything became clear but was astonished by how her portraits were hung around every corner of the room.

“Who is she to you?”She asked.

“Who?”King Zain asked.

“The lady that ordered the guards to torture me,”she asked.

“I’m sorry for what she did, actually she did them out of jealousy and that’s because I’m in love with you”King Zain uttered.

“Have seen it in your eye, the moment you stare at me at the village auction”Tessa scoffed.

“She knows, oh my goodness. . I can feel my immune system dancing already”King Zain thought, a smile visible on his lips.

“Who is she to you?”Tessa asked again.

“She’s my best friend, she’s a mistress on her own, not my mistress. Have always thought of Raine as a friend, sometimes my best friend. I didn’t know she’s really obsessed or in love with me”King Zain answered.

“No wonder she told them to torture me,, I knew there’s was more to her sudden behavior”Tessa explained.

“There’s a news I will like to drop to you”King Zain uttered, feeling his breath.

“A news”She uttered, sitting up.

“The physician said you are perfectly fine and,,,,,, and,,, your babies are doing great”He dropped.

“Babies”Tessa stuttered in shock.

“Yes, you are pregnant”

“I’m pregnant”Tessa screamed in Joy as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. She fell on her knees and sang praises. She couldn’t hide her tears of Joy. She jump up and hug King Zain, who didn’t act stupid in hugging her back.

“I was told my womb was damaged,,, I was told I am infertile,,, am carrying your Damien and Penelope Nathaniel”Tessa cried out loud.

King Zain couldn’t his tears enough as everything streamed down his cheeks. I thought no one will be happy to have me as a wife,,, my carrying his Penelope and Damien. “Tessa cried, almost falling wobbly but King Zain was fast enough to draw her back to himself.

Their hugs tightened,,,

“I’m in love with you Tessa,,, “King Zain confessed his feelings. Tessa disengaged from the hug instantly.

“You say what?”She asked, not getting the whole confession.

King Zain felt uncomfortable with her reaction but he tended to reply to her”I’m in love with you Neveah Tessa Brown…”King Zain uttered slowly.

“You,, are,,, in,, love,, with, me…”She stuttered.

“Yes, I’m in love with you the first time I set my eyes on your portrait.”King Zain uttered truthfully. Tessa stared at him straight in the eye and saw how heavy his feelings for her were. She snapped back into reality and smiled.

“You are just smiling,”King Zain asked.

“Yes, that’s because I saw how truthful you are.” She said and moved more closer into his arms. Wrapping her soft hands around his neck was the move she took.

King Zain got lost between those stares, but her next move after the previous one left King Zain in awe. She devoured his lips hungrily. King Zain moaned out, it has been a long time since he kissed someone. Not even Raine has taken his lips in.

King Zain carried her up and wrapped her legs around his waist, he kept kissing her while moving around the room until her back hit the wall. Tessa disengaged from the kiss when she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Am sorry”She apologized feeling shy all of the sudden. King Zain smiled at her sudden shyness.

“Don’t be shy”He murmured, dropping her on his bed.

“Your face looks like my best friend’s face,”she uttered.

“Could it be Fiona, hold on is Fiona her best friend and not a slave”King Zain thought.

“He’s lost in thought,”Tessa thought, observing his facial expression.

“King Zain”Tessa called, tapping him softly, which made him snap out of his thoughts.

“Who do I look like?”King Zain asked worriedly.

“You look like my best friend, my pain bearer, my joy giver, she’s the best among all.. the caring friend, she’s isn’t a back stabber, my tears wiper, my back bone.. I can choose her over King Nathaniel, You and My sisters. She’s very sweet and beautiful.”Princess Tessa showers praise, forgetting herself.

“She’s Fiona??”King Zain uttered with tears on his cheeks.

“How did you know?”Tessa asked in shock.

“Because she’s my younger sister”He uttered painfully,,…

“WHAT??”
