" I don't want to fight with you, I just want to know the truth about you and my husband", Lira said .

" We are together since before you came into his life", Crissia explained.

" Really, then you never separated? all this time you stayed in the background?", amuse Lira asked.

" Yes, I did! you're angry because you found out about me? imagine what I felt when I was waiting for him all along to marry me, then he decided to marry other woman instead? it was very painful for me, when he told me he'll marry you", Crissia explained.

Lira wanted to cry but as she heard Crissia's explaination she like her honesty regarding those matter.

" Then why you let him? why didn't you fight for your right? Five years ago I was so young and I don't want to get married yet, maybe if you fought for your love it will never be this painful for me", Lira blamed her but as she heard every word Crissia said she felt pity for the woman.

" What can I do? when he decided to marry you? all I did was cry", Crissia said.

" Is that his baby?", pointing at Crissia's baby bump. She nod, confirming the obvious.

The woman is beautiful, inspite of her pregnancy she still look good.

" Did he asked you to marry him? ", she asked.

" No,I know that one of your condition is that you'll divorce him if he marry other woman.", Crissia replied.

" Then what's your plan for the baby?", Lira asked worried about the baby.

" Would you let us get married?", Crissia asked her back.

" Yes I will, I will give you a chance for your love", Lira replied. There's a sudden spark of happiness in Crissia's eyes.

" Thanks, I will let him know about that", Crissia said. That night Patrick was in good mood when he arrive home.Lira thought, he might have talked with Crissia already.

" Are you sure you'll let me marry Crissia?", the prince asked Lira.

" Yes of course, have pity on your child" she said.

" Then thank you for giving me a chance to have my second wife", the prince said.

" You can make her your wife, but as what I said we will file for divorce and I will go back to my mom in New Zealand", Lira said.

" Then you're tricking me?", the prince happy disposition suddenly go dark.

" If I only knew there had always been Crissia in your life I will never marry you, you fooled both of us.", Lira said.

" No, I will never sign a divorce paper, I don't want to lose my children", fhe prince said.

" Don't worry I will leave the children under your care if that's what you want. I know that their nannies will take good care of them. I will be the one that will leave and go back to my old life", Lira explained.

" What kind of mother are you? you will leave your children in exchange of your freedom?", the prince burst out angrily.

" I will not sit down watching you having an affair with other woman, besides I pity Crissia, she had always love you just waiting in the background, If I go you will be free!", she tried to reasoned out.

.." No second marriage, just stay with me, don 't leave the children behind, don't leave me please", the prince beg.

" Why not let me go? She's your first love, why not give her a chance to have you fully?", Lira asked.

" No, no, no, you will be my queen and will be my only wife while I live if that's what you want", Patrick decided.

" You're so selfish! I pity Crissia for loving you , you couldn't give me up because of the title of my father and grandfather.?", Lira wanted to know.

" Can't you understand that I don't want to lose you because I love you!", the prince heartily said. In any circumstances hearing what Patrick said will make her feel happy. but right now she felt disgusted hearing those words which were all lies.

Alicia called after a week to tell her the tickets were available and she send it online. She left the two kids, she know it will be difficult for her to bring her children they will be prevented to leave the country. She left quietly early in the morning, she left her car in the airport, when she arrived in New Zealand she called her driver to pick her car in the airport. The next day she left with her mom to America just to unwind, for vacation.

When they arrive in America her mom's secretary called to inform them that her husband arrive , very angry looking for her,, he had been coming back for three consecutive days. For one week she had been in peace, they go out to shop and watch movie, or go to famous tourist destination in America. Then one day she was surprised when she opened the door and her husband was standing outside with their son.

" Mom," Anton extend his hand asking her to carry him, without a word, she carry her son and hug him so hard.

" I miss you mom!", as he hug her back.

" I miss you too!", she said. She decided to talk with the prince and be persuaded to come back to him. Her mom had supported her decision to go back to her husband.

To think that he had left Crissia and marry her instead, she pity the woman who had truly loved her husband but inspite of that love he had chosen her to be his wife and because of his promise that he will no longer take anybody other than her for a wife, she gave in to all his lies and promises. He had let him have a relationship with Crissia and her baby girl, as long as he don't brag his infidelity in public.

The prince agreed, she no longer keep grudges against Crissia especially now that she know it's the other girl who's in the losing end because her husband had chosen to keep her in his side as his wife while Crissia will forever be a mistress...
