Secrets novel Chapter 10

Paula's p. o. v

I sat sighing in my room for what felt like forever, I wasn't happy with Henry's words, I was very much bothered by them, but despite feeling dejected I couldn't help myself from thinking about how he looked, I didn't know if it was my eyes or my imagination but he looked very calmer than usual and so handsome, he wore his royal robes without a crown on his head, his hair was brushed back for the first time and it really suited him.

I stood up from my bed and picked up my veil, I covered my face and looked at my ladies who were all sleeping on their beds, I felt bad that I was still sleeping with them, technically they all deserved a room each, and my room was suppose to be Henry's but he couldn't even look at me without showing disgust.

I slowly walked to the door and opened it carefully after glancing behind to make sure that they were still asleep, when I went out I breathed out in relief, I looked at myself and made sure my outfit was representable then walked to Henry's room, the guards quickly stepped aside with a low bow.

As stupid as it was I still wanted to work out things with him, I wanted our marriage to mean something for both our sake and for our people.

I took in a deep breath then released it and knocked on the door.

I waited for a few minutes but there was no answer, I pushed open the door and walked in, I took in a sharp breath when I found him kissing Grace on his bed, he was half naked with his robe nearly off while she was completely naked .

"You are back Grace, It seems you have no shame" I said sarcastically.

Henry pulled back and sat upright with a glare while Grace smirked proudly.

"Grace get out," I said calmly.

"No, why should I?" She asked loudly.

"I won't say this again, out!" I said in nearly a scream.

She quickly stood up and picked up her robe then left the room.

"So tell me, what do you want this time?," Henry asked annoyed.

"It's good to see you again, today I just came to ask you one question, please answer me and I will never bother you again," I said honestly.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked Softly.

"You think I hate you?" He asked while dressing up properly.

"Well yes," I answered.
