After he regained his composure, Nicholas decided to return to the hut by the forest and reminisce whatever he could remember from his time there. His mind was filled with possibilities. If Sophia Romanov was really Sophia Hansley, she was his wife... Nicholas must go and find her. Gosh, he was so tempted to go back to the capital right at this instant. However, he realized, he shouldn't waste the opportunity while he was here, to find out more info about his past and his relationship with Sophia. He…

Nicholas lowered his head dejectedly. "Where are you? I am so sorry that I forgot about you. I am sorry that I left you. I am sorry... I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me...." More tears fell from his eyes, and he gripped his left chest tightly. Nicholas cursed himself for not remembering anything about his wife. He felt so guilty, he had hurt the woman. Tears continued to fall down the wooden floor below as Nicholas continued to contemplate what his wife must have felt after he left her alone in…

The old man turned to Nicholas and uttered his sympathy. "I'm really sorry for what happened to you, young man. I pray that you can get your memory back, and then you can find your wife." Nicholas could only nod weakly, unable to say anything at this point. They were silent as they stood together, facing the hut. One was thinking about the festive wedding, and the other one was trying so hard to exert every single brain cell he had into remembering the important event. Nicholas only felt a headache. He…

Nicholas suddenly forgot how to breathe when the old man mentioned that he already had a wife. So he didn't mishear the old man's words? Okay. His hearing had no problem, but maybe the old man mistook him for someone else. Nicholas looked down at his body and raised his arms to check himself. Did he have such a generic appearance that someone could mistake him for another man? Well, he did have quite a typical black hair and brown eyes. He was not easily distinguished like that guy, Duke Ariam Romanov…

The people who had gathered when Karenina was about to commit suicide noticed the king immediately leaving. They were surprised to see him get on his horse and then really left. In no time, the king had passed through the gate and disappeared at a faraway road. "His Majesty didn't even stick around to wait for his fiancee to wake up." "There must be something urgent that he has to attend." "But, what happened? Who saved Princess Karenina just now?" "I am not sure, but I think I saw the king carry her…

"Karenina, please open the door. Stop doing this," Nicholas kept banging on the door. "Listen, I'm sorry for offending you and accusing you carelessly. I really don't remember what happened that night." Karenina's sobs became louder. "Can we talk about this after I return? I need to go somewhere urgently. You should take the time in my absence to calm yourself down. I beg you, don't do this," Nicholas said. He really chose the words he wanted to say very carefully for fear that if he said the wrong…

Sophie took a deep breath and turned to Leland. Her voice sounded tired when she spoke. "Can we talk again later? Perhaps we both need to think separately on how we should deal with this problem." Leland didn't want to think separately because he already knew what he wanted and how he would make his decision. However, he didn't want to force Sophie to stay with him when she wanted space to be alone. "All right," Leland said expressionlessly. He closed his eyes and leaned his back on the headboard. Sophie…

Leland was at a loss for words. He was over the moon by her statement. Surely Sophie wouldn't lie to him, would she? He pulled her to his embrace. Leland peppered her face with kisses and finally, he planted a long and passionate kiss on her lips. Even though his wounds were so painful when her face and body touched his, Leland didn't even feel it. Happiness numbed him from pain. "I will always choose you, but..." Sophie spoke in a hoarse voice after Leland finally ended their kiss. "You will break my…

"Leland... can we just go and leave everything behind?" Sophie looked at Leland pleadingly. "I don't want to see you and him got into a deadly battle and..." She halted her words. She didn't want to imagine losing Leland... or even Nicholas if they fought to the death. What's worse... she might even lose them both. Men were prideful creatures and would sometimes go to the extreme to defend their honor. In this case, Sophie could see Leland fight Nicholas to defend his claim over her and their children.…

Hope you are having a wonderful week. xx . . . ______________________________ "You were saying... you were wrong about his death?" Leland asked Sophie carefully. "What do you mean by that?" Sophie took a deep breath. "I was wrong. I thought he died because he didn't come for me for years. However, I suddenly saw him again... yesterday." So, this was it. Leland knew they would finally come to…
