Aysel’s pov.
I headed towards the queen’s quarter.
She’d summoned me minutes ago.
I bumped into Juliet on my way.
She scoffs.
“I’m sorry, miss.”I bowed.
She smirks.
“You will go down on your knees and apologize to me.”
I lowered my gaze.
“What?, you’re not gonna do that?. Oh, well, you will soon do that later.. you will beg me.. you will die.”she let’s out in spite and sashayed away.
Hm.
I turn to look at her.
If only she knows a knife is being held on her neck and that with just a word, the knife will cut her open.
I tutted and continued with my journey.
I got to the office in her quarter and knock.
“Aysel?, if it’s you, come in.”
I stepped inside and shuts the door before moving to where she was.
“I went to see my child. I just came back.”
I nodded.
“Sit down.”
I sat down.
“Did you apologize?”
“I didn’t.”she sighed.
I pressed my lips together.
“It’s okay. I know it’s hard for you. You haven’t really treated your child well.. so, I know the feeling. You.. will tell.. how sorry you are slowly by your actions, and when you think you’ve got the balls, you will apologize to her orally. It… would be hard for your child also.. so, it might take a while to accept you back.”
She chuckles bitterly.
“Why do you want us to keep this under wraps though?. I can’t bear seeing that good for nothing girl, that gold digger and pretending everything is fine. She irks me!”she gritted out.
“We can’t let them know. It might put your child in danger as they would start searching around for..”I suddenly paused and glanced back.
“Did I heard a sound just now?”
“It’s a message. A message came in on my phone.”
“Oh.”I turned back.
“Besides, we don’t even know who the boss is also. We can’t just act rashly.”
She panted heavily and chewed her fingers.
“I’m trying to calm down. Just, what the hell is on about the switching of babies stuff?”
“I.. don’t know as well, only the boss can answer that. But I belief it’s just for sheer delight.”
“Sheer delight?”she scoffs.
I shook my head in affirmation.
“Someone that doesn’t really fancy you could do that.”
“Enemy?, I have many of them. Fuck this, I remember I was in the VIP room that day, that was heavily guarded, how did you manage to get in?”
“The doctors were in cahoots with the boss. Anytime a mother delivers, we move, before the relatives could be allowed to go in, and switch the babies. That night, switching your baby with another was really an accident but I guess it was intentional also. Besides, I remember seeing all the guards asleep then. The boss really knows what he is doing.”
“I’ll take any punishment that comes with this. But, we can’t just let the boss slip away. Let’s figure out a plan.”.
She relaxed back on her chair and heaved a sigh.
“What do you have in mind?”

Diana’s pov.
“That’s not my room.”I told Emma as she made to enter John’s room.
“Huh?, oh. Does it really matters?”she stopped dead in her tracks and said before moving inside the room.
Geez.
I huffed and then followed suit.
She unpacked the clothes and gave me three dresses.
“Try it on.”she says.
Huh?
“O… on?”I stuttered, while directing my gaze to John, who was sitting comfortably on the couch.
“Of course. C’mon.”Emma urged.
I looked at her and shook my head.
“I can’t.”
“What?”
“He.. will have to step out before I can do that. I can’t….”I ironed my lips together.
“I… can’t *this thing* in front of him.”I palmed the clothes tightly.
“I didn’t ask you to undress in front of him. There,”she pointed at a door.
“Go in there. It’s a closet.”she added with a pout.
Her cheeks were reddened and she looks ready to laugh. Just waiting for the permission bell to ring.
I glanced at John and he raised his brows at me.
Gosh. This is so embarrassing.
I stared back at Emma and gave a bow.
“Alright, ma’am.”
I didn’t know I just rang the bell.
She bursted into hysterical laughter ad covered her mouth with her palm.
“What.. what the.. John, your wife.. geez.. alright, I’m not laughing… oh, the bow really got me.”she fell back on the bed.
I put on a crumpled look and stomped to the closet angrily.
I rested my back on the door as soon as i was in.
I didn’t know there was a room like this in here.
Ugh.
By the way, this place is really cool.
Woa.
The room is painted in blue and the ties look just too dazzling.
Oh, my Geee..
Alright, let’s get focused on what we came to do here.
I stripped out of my clothes and donned myself in the new one.
It’s a pink short gown with little pleating.
The upper part is a bit off my shoulders.
The sleeves were puffed up.
I moved to the mirror to examine my look.
“Not so bad.”the word slid out of my mouth as I traced my fingers on my bare skin.
Wait, don’t tell me I will have to test all those dresses in there..
I went out and gave Emma a nervous smile.
“Why?, you look gorgeous in that.”She smiled.
“Thank you.”I flashed her a relaxed grin.
“So, what do you think?”she turned to John.
I rolled my eyes before turning to him.
He shrugs with his hands folded up.
I went back inside to put the second one on.
This one is a long green gown.
But.. it’s showing part of my cleavage.
But, It’s not a lie if I tell you I’ve fell in love with it.
The hand is long sleeve and the material used is a shiny one.
I opened the door and stood by it.
Emma lifted her gaze up at me and her mouth spreads out.
“This… is amazing. It’s the perfect dinner gown you will ever find. It looks so… oh my!”
“Thanks.”
“Come on, move out completely so John would see you.”
“Nah..”I whispered.
“Why?”she asked in a hush tone.
I pointed at my cleavage.
She shrugged with a ‘that’s fine look* but I shook my head.
“It’s showing her cleavage, it’s not at all amazing.”John voiced out.
I turned to my side and found him there.
“You don’t have to be shy about it.”he smirks.
“But, if you like it, I will go with it also.”
I gave a nod.
“Do I really have to try all that on?”I questioned her.
“Uhm?, no. I’m feeling skeptical about the size of some, and that would be the one you will be trying out.”
“How many left?”
“Uhmmmmm… ten?”
“Geez, that’s too much. Just give them to me. You just want to be sure if it’s my size, right?. I will size them up in there and return the one that feels out of place to you. Or you could just come in.”I expounded.
“All this because of your husband?. You must be quite shy in his presence.”she stood up.
“My eyes are happy though.”John smiled sheepishly while staring at my…
“Pervert!”I shuts the door in his face.
