《Boss's Order's》Chapter 23
Advertisement
The next two and a half months pass quickly, I moved back in with Xavier fully and I couldn't be happier.
This time around though I was more cautious of everything, after being hurt last time; even if it wasn't Xavier that hurt me, I couldn't seem to trust as fully as I had to begin with.
I've been having weekly check ups with my baby Doctor, making sure that everything was going okay. So far, so good. Our little jelly bean wasn't so little anymore either, and I was in a lot of pain when he moved around and kicked. The Doctor assured me that it's perfectly normal for it to hurt now, because jb hasn't got much room left.
As I was nearing the end of my eighth month of pregnancy, I became nervous about the birth. At our check up last week, the Doctor had informed me that jb was head down, and engaged ready for birth.
I'd left the hospital feeling happy that our baby would be here soon, but terrified about the pain I'd be in.
We'd set the nursery up at Xavier's already, and had bought everything we could possibly need for the baby. The only thing we couldn't agree on was jb's name.
I didn't like any of the names I'd looked at in the book Mel had gotten for me, Xavier really liked Nicolas, but I wasn't so sure yet.
I wanted to wait until he got here to name him, I didn't want to choose a name that didn't suit him.
I found it hard to walk now, and had constant pain in my hips from the extra weight i was carrying. It's weird really, but I'd managed to keep my figure while pregnant. The only place I'd put weight on, was my bump itself. From the back you couldn't tell I was pregnant at all, but my front was all bump, that's why it hurt so much, because all jb's weight was on my hips.

I'd taken to spending most of my day doing odd jobs for Xavier, while he's at work. He still hadn't found and reason to fire Alexa yet, so the smug slût still worked there. Xavier had started asking me to do some work at home for him, instead of asking her. I'd gladly agreed, not just to spite Alexa either, but just because I was extremely bored.
When I didn't have work to complete, I either spent time writing more of my book, or swimming in the pool. The Doctor had encouraged me to swim as much as I wanted to while it was hurting me to walk, that way I was still getting the exercise I needed.
Xavier has been fantastic with me, and he was so happy when I agreed to move back in.
With only around 3 weeks to go until the birth, it felt like everything was falling into place finally.
The best part about it was that I'd finally meet my jelly bean, and i couldn't wait.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
