RHEA'S POV
“Miss Ruiz, are you trying to tell me that you are Prince Esteban's biological mother and not the Queen?” Laura asked the strange woman.
“Yes,” she replied, making me gasp. “I gave birth to Prince Esteban in a State hospital 25 years ago on the same day Queen Carina had her baby. I heard from a nurse that her baby died, so they approached me and told me to give her mine because I was planning to give him up for adoption.”
“Why are you just saying this now after keeping quiet for twenty-five years?”
“I have been seeing on social media that Estefan should be made the crown prince instead of Esteban. As a loyal citizen of Spain, I believe it won't be right to let a child without Royal blood take the throne, so I thought to use this opportunity to tell the truth and get rid of the guilt of my sins.”
