OMG welcome back with a bang …a literal bang 😏.You have not missed a beat. The thoughts swimming through my mind are shock and awe. First Liam is her lobster 🦞 , he came to mate for life. I cannot believe he is staking his claim. The confession of loving her, but left out something very important. 🤨. I cannot believe he would not share that with her. She definitely has to feel blindsided after what happen between them and what he told her. Jenna has got to really feel back in the place of sneaking around again while he has a betrothed. This chapter certainly was an awakening from what I read. Jenna seem to get a glimpse of what life was like back then, playful, loving, sexy, removed from all the worries of the court. She seemed to see just Liam.

Hana, damn Lee aka the conniving cat, what to think of this trick with the pop up. You do not pull pop ups unless your are super close to me.Hana showing up would have set off my alarm bells too when she showed up out of nowhere. This trick sat back and plotted how she would stick daggers in Jenna and slowly twist. She knew every question, every inquiry was meant to intensify the sting. She was waiting for the perfect time to drop the anvil on her… especially after inquiring if the have been communicating. I would not put it past Hana to have someone following Liam or follow him herself. This chick knows perfectly well that Liam is still in love with Jenna. I’m sorry but Hana is long overdue for a beat down.

Then to put the disgusting 🤢 thought of her screwing her man to produce an heir?! #Teamtoomuch

Jenna had to get some straight answers from the source.

I can only imagine the thoughts overtaking her mind . Poor Jenna, she let her guard down for a second and then to get sucker punched with the tea. Please tell me Liam has no intention to go through with this sham of a marriage.

You have the desired ending… you got me hating Hana all over again. 😂😂😂. You know Hana has pushed my buttons. Anyway girl, Great job picking up where you left off. What happens if he gets Jenna pregnant?🧐 We need to get this figured out fast. Let me get my popcorn ready to hear his explanation. This should should be interesting.

A/N: I have decided to resurrect this series with a little nudge from @umccall71. You can catch up HERE. Also since this series is old, so are the tags. If you'd like to be added or removed, please let me know.

A few days had passed since the brunch at the Palace. Liam sat reclined in his chair, staring at the phone in front of him. He wanted to call her, just to hear her voice would maybe set him at ease. Someone was going to lengths to set her up, but was it the same person who sent Tariq into her room that night? Or could it be someone else, a stuck-up court member who was determined to see her gone?

Hana had been a close confidant to him since Jenna left. She had become a good friend and an ally, someone who had his back against the council members who insisted he take a bride, the country would have a queen and the land could have an heir. He had to come to know Hana well or so he thought. Something in the conversation he watched between Jenna and her seemed off to him.

His mind kept going back to it. He had watched that video time and time again, Drake's eyes had glazed over when Liam leaned up "Did you see that?"

"See what?" Drake snorted, "We've been at this for hours Li. I've spent the whole day with Olivia, do you know how exhausting that is?"

"This. Right here." He pointed. The frame was of Jenna facing Drake and Olivia, her view was toward the back of the estate by the outdoor bar. She was speaking to the two of them, so she would not be paying much attention to her surroundings.

Drake sat up, squinting his tired eyes. "Looks like Hana handing something to the waiter, in passing." He answered.

Liam examined the frame carefully. It wasn't very clear but she definitely placed something in that man's hand, and he intended to find out just what.

He let out a frustrated sigh, shaking the thought from his head. He reached out and grabbed his phone, swiping the phone on and pulling up a name. His finger hovered over the dial button before tossing it back onto his desk. Fuck it he muttered standing up grabbing both his keys and phone and exiting his office.

Liam expertly maneuvered the sleek BMW around the bends and curves of the Cordonian Countryside. The drive to Lythkios would have taken hours, lucky for him where he was headed would take minutes. He pulled into the estate grounds and walked up to the door, knocking firmly. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around, it had been a while since he was there.

"Liam? Hey buddy. What brings you here?" The door opened and Maxwell beamed on the other side.

"Hello Maxwell, it is good to see you." Liam greeted him, stepping inside. "I was wondering if I could see Jenna, Olivia has told me she is here."

"Okie dokie, I will get her." Maxwell turned spinning on his heels. "Little blossom," he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Little blossom!" He shouted again. Liam cupped his ears laughing as Maxwell bound the steps.

Olivia had some business to attend to out of town, she was very quiet and private about her personal affairs but, as Liam understood it was something to do with Jenna's scandal, and for that Liam was grateful. Bertrand was not a fan of Jenna, he was embarrassed by her actions and her not becoming queen hurt any help his estate could benefit from. Liam, being the caring soul that he was, stepped in and helped anyway. Fydelia and the Palace we're known for their beautiful gardens and landscaping, Ramsford was home to a beautiful vineyard. The Beaumont family had created a delicious wine they called the Royal Apple, Liam helped land a contract to supply several upscale restaurants in the country with their wine.

"What is so damn important that you had to drag me out of my bed. I was watching Friends and it's the one where Ross is Rachel's lobster. You never interrupt that episode." He heard Jenna scolding Maxwell. They turned the corner and there she was, dressed in her ratty old Nsync t-shirt and a pair of grey sweat pants, his grey sweat pants.

"Liam." She gasped, crossing her arms across her chest. "What. What are you doing here?"

Maxwell looked back and forth between the two. "Ahh, I gotta go um, dress Clarice." He quickly mumbled before running off.

"Who the fuck is Clarice? No clue?" Jenna spoke to herself aloud, shaking her head before turning her attention back to Liam. "So, what are you doing here?"

"Well as I stated in my text, We need to talk. And since we haven't done so yet, here I am." He motioned to himself.

Jenna shrugged her shoulders in defeat and motioned for the stairs. She led him into her room and quickly closed the door.

"You look great in my sweatpants," Liam smirked.

"I'll give them back." Jenna's cheeks turned a bright shade of crimson. "Keep them, they look better on you." He sat down on the edge of the bed, patting the side for her to sit.

"Listen, Jenna, I know that you did not want me to know about the investigation. But I am glad you are letting me help. Drake told me about what happened the other night." Liam gave her a sad smile, taking her hand. "I want you to know that your safety means everything to me. I am so very glad you are doing this but, I have to ask. Before we were working on clearing your name so we could be together, is that? Is that still true?"

"Liam." Jenna sighed. "Seeing you with Madeline screwed me up, I became an Alcoholic and this is still something fresh. I don't know what I want. Hell, I don't even know who I am." She stood up, beginning to pace the room.

"I'm sorry. I am so very sorry I just, I didn't mean to upset you. Of course, you're sobriety is very important to me. I am not trying to be selfish, I just. I love you, Jenna. I always will and I will wait for you. As long as I have to. If at the end of all of this, you don't want to be with me, I will just have to deal with that. But, I'm going to be selfish right now because I want you, all of you. All your perfect imperfections." Liam closed the gap between them, stopping her from moving.

"I know who you are," his voice a whisper. "You're incredible, smart, funny, caring," his hand reached out tucking her hair behind her ear. "Beautiful, charming, sexy." His hand caressed her cheek, cupping it gently. His lips a breath away from hers "insatiable." He pressed his lips to hers, claiming them in a soft, cautious yet sensual kiss. Her lips began to move against his in response, and his tongue swept across hers, popping them open with a gasp.

Her mind kept getting in the way, it screamed no, but her body screamed yes! Jenna grasped his shoulders pulling him into her. She made short work of his shirt, letting her hands travel his perfectly sculpted chest. Liam lifted her shirt over her head. His fingers ghosted her bare chest as he slowly made short work of the rest of her clothing, lifting her and carefully laying her down on the bed. His lips found hers as he hovered over her, Jenna's fingers tangled in his sandy locks she looked up at him, her eyes pleading "Liam." She whispered, giving him a clear sign that she wanted him as much as he wanted him.

The next morning Liam awoke to the faint buzzing of his phone on the bedside table. He carefully pawed around until he reached it, glancing one-eyed at the screen in front of him. He let out a heavy breath, slowly turning his attention to the sleeping form beside him. He didn't want to disturb her, she looked so peaceful. The past few weeks had been hard on her. He shook his head making a mental correction, the past almost year had been hell. He slowly crept out of bed, retrieving his discarded clothing.

A far cry from the girl who came from New York for him. They had connected in ways Liam had never dared to dream and he fell, he fell so very hard. Fate wasn't kind to them, someone went to great lengths to force them apart. His stomach was knotted at the thought that that person was still out there and how they could hurt her again if they knew anyone was digging.

"So were you going to pull a me?" Liam turned at the sound of her voice to see her sitting up in bed. A smile tugged on his lips as he took in her wild hair and darkened lips, all signs of their night. "No, but I do have to get going soon." He smirked as he sat down on the bed, slipping on his shoes. "I was going to see about getting us some coffee and food, I'd say we worked up quite the appetite." He flashed her a lopsided grin.

"Yeah, about that." She chuckled nervously.

"You don't have to say anything, Jenna. I know last night wasn't supposed to happen." He paused, pulling his shirt over his head "I know you're in a delicate state right now and I do not want to rush into anything that could hinder your progress but," he turned to face her, taking her hands in his. "I love you and I am willing to wait for you to be ready." Liam's phone began vibrating on the nightside table again, he picked it up letting out a frustrated sigh. "I'm so sorry to cut this short but, I do have to go." He leaned pressing his soft lips to hers and he stood to leave

"And how do you know that I want this?" She called after. Liam abruptly stopped. His hand gripping the door handle. "Because a love like ours just doesn't just go away." He answered, still facing the door. "We will talk soon," he said. Twisting the knob and leaving her room. As soon as the door clicked shut Jenna flung back into the bed letting out a frustrated sigh. What the hell did I get myself into?

After a long shower, Jenna got herself dressed and sat on the Veranda with a book in hand. Maxwell had a meeting to attend in the capital and Olivia and Drake were following up on a lead they were particularly adamant about Jenna not knowing the details of. After reading the same line three times she frustratedly tossed the book onto the floor. Her mind was completely consumed with Liam and what had happened between them. She picked up her phone, finger hovering over Liam's name when a knock came at the door. She jumped up, heart hammering in her chest at who may be on the other side.

" what are you doing here?" her Jaw dropped as she opened the door.

"Why I believe we agreed to go shopping silly. Ready?" Hana stood there with a wide grin, motioning to the town car waiting behind her.

"Oh. I don't know Hana." She nervously twirled her hair. "I'm not even dressed to go out in public." She hesitated.

"That's ok. I can wait a few minutes for you to go change." Hana smiled back at her. Jenna was having a hard time coming up with an excuse when Olivia's voice rang out in her subconscious. You need to get on her good side. Maybe she will spill some secrets.

A smile bloomed on Jenna's face, "of course, Hana. I will be right back." She bound the stairs and rushed into her room. Tossing on a pair of nice jeans and a blouse. She walked over to the dresser for her brush when the apple pendant caught her eye. She was nervous to be alone with Hana, she didn't trust her as far as she could throw her but, perhaps having a sentiment of Liam with her would help. She fastened the pin to the shirt and took off the meet back up with Hana.

The two drove into the capital and went to several shops. The two made small talk, Hana mostly asking about Jenna's time away from court, Hana for the most part remained tight-lipped about anything Jenna could use as evidence she was sabotaging her.

The ladies walked into their final shop of the day, Jenna hesitated at the door. "Why are we here?" Her eyes nervously darted around at the extravagant dresses that adorned the racks.

"Why for the annual Lythkios fire and Ice ball of course. Didn't Olivia tell you?" Hana smirked, taking in Jenna's shocked demeanor.

"N, no.. she failed to mention that."

"Well it is in a couple of weeks," Hana grinned pulling Jenna into the store further. "I must find something spectacular. I need your help. Besides, we have to find something Devine for you as well."

The two browsed through racks upon racks, pulling multiple dresses. The sales associates set them up in two dressing rooms and the girls began trying on their finds. "So Jenna, have you had much time to speak to Liam? I know the two of you split on stressful terms." Hana called out.

"Um, we have spoken a bit," Jenna responded, behind the curtain.

"Well that's good. It's good you two can remain friends after, well, what happened between the two of you."

"Mmhmm." Jenna mumbled as she fidgeted with the dresses zipper.

Friends, huh. Pretty sure just friends don't have sex and say they love you she thought to herself. What am I thinking? Get ahold of yourself Jenna, of course you're just friends.

Jenna let out an audible sigh, promptly clasping her hand over her mouth.

"Are you ok, Jenna?" She heard Hana ask, this time she was right outside of her dressing room.

"Oh. Um yeah. Just not sure about this dress thats all." She lied, sliding the curtain over and exiting the stahl.

"Wow. I know Red is usually Olivia's color but, that dress is stunning on you."

"Thanks." Jenna blushed, she looked at herself in the mirror, catching a small glimpse of her former self, she smiled remembering the last time she attended the Lythikos fire and Ice ball. She let her mind wander while Hana droned on..

She stood in her room at Lythkios, admiring herself in the mirror. The dress was gorgeous. A strapless light blue satin dress that hugged every curve. The bust encrusted with rhinestones that sparkled against the lights, and the slit that hit right at the hip left little to the imagination, well it would leave very little to Liams anyway.

"Knock knock." Maxwells voice rang out as the door cracked open. "Come in Max." She smirked as Maxwell gasped. She did a little twirl and let out a giggle. "Little blossom you look amazing."

"Thanks max. You've really out done yourself this time."

"Yes, yes, perhaps Maxwell can become a stylist to help keep our beloved Ramsford afloat." Jennas smile faltered as he entered the room. " That is if you completely fail us as our sponsor " Bertrand snapped.

"Must you always be so doom and gloom Bertrand?" She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah Bertrand lighten up. Little blossom is going to kill it tonight. Just trust me." Maxwell winked at her as he defended himself.

Jenna ignored the two as the bickered back and forth. Before she knew it she was in the ballroom, she scanned the room until her eyes met his. Like a moth to a flame the two gravitated towards each other. Liam reached for her hand, his lips softly brushing her knuckles.

"My lady, I must say you are absolutely breathtaking in that dress."

"Why thank you, your highness. You look rather dashing yourself. But I must say it does look awfully coincidental that our attire seems to match."

Liam gave her a smirk "Coincidence or a well thought out plan. I will leave that assumption up to you, Lady Jenna."

"Liam, you didn't." She gasped, a small giggle escaping her.

"I did." He smirked again, just as the music started up. "May I have this dance?"

Jenna took his hand as he led her to the dance floor. He took her hand, his other resting on the small of her back. She could hear the gasps and murmurs of the crowd around her. "Everyone is starting liam."

"Let them. Everyone is already talking about the two of us, they have it pegged that I will choose you to be my queen."

"Is that so?" Jenna smirked. "Hoe scandalous of you, your highness. And what do you say about all of this gossip going around?"

"I say they're on to something." His tone playful but she could see the seriousness in his eyes. "If I had my way I would tell everyone to go home. I'm not supposed to play favorites but, nobody compares. And maybe I dont care who knows anymore."

"So I supposed Liam told you about his deadline then?" Hanas voice pulled her from her daydream.

"His what?"

"Why his deadline. He has until the end of the month to choose a queen or the council will be forced to take action."

The color drained from Jennas face, she stumbled back until her legs gave out and she fell into the chair. "He. He what? How can this be happening?"

"Oh, he didn't tell you?" Hana feigned concern. Jenna shook her head no.

"You don't look so good Jenna. Perhaps we should head back to Ramsford." Hana patted her leg. Jenna nodded in agreement.

Jenna quickly changed back into her clothes as Hana paid for her dress. The ride back to Ramsford was quiet. Jenna's mind going a mile a minute.

Hana cleared her throat. "Jenna, I have to ask you something. I seen the way you reacted back there when you found out about Liams time limit. And well, I have to ask. Do you still have feelings for him?"

Jenna's eyes widened, words became hard to come by. "I. I. Why do you ask Hana? Is there something else I don't know?"

"Well, I did not want to be the one to tell you this but," hana let out a sigh. "After you left Liam was in a bad place. The council had been hounding him to take a queen, and show the country that he was stable. Liam and I made a pact that if he did not find someone by then that we would marry and have a political marriage. For Cordonia of course."

Jenna's eyes snapped shut, her stomach churned as the visions of Madline draped in Liams arm swirled in her head, morphing into hana and Liam. The country would want an heir, the thought of the two of them together pushed her right over the edge.

"Stop the car." She shouted as the driver pulled over onto the side of the road. Jenna jumped out in just enough time, vomiting into the brush. She returned a few minutes later, Hana giving her an unreadable look.

"Are you ok?" She asked. Jenna nodded her head. "I dont think lunch agreed with me." She lied. They pulled up to Ramsford Jenna gave a quick goodbye and she rushed inside. She watched from the window as hana drove away she grabbed a set of Keys and quickly made her way to the one place she didnt want to be but needed to go.

She had no trouble entering, it was as if they were expecting her. She walked through the front door, up the stairs and stood in front of the door. She knocked hard and when the door swung open her hand flew up and connected with a loud slap.

Bastien stepped forward, Liam held up his hand. "Give us a minute Bastien."

Bastien nodded as he stepped out of the door, closing it behind him.

"Is it true?" Jenna questioned.

" I'm not sure what you're referring to my love. If you would just have a seat and."

"Is it true Liam? Are you actually going to marry Hana?"
