He Stole My Children I Refused His Crown Chapter 11

He spoke of Celeste as if he weren’t the man who had met her in secret and gotten her pregnant.

“Redhaven wanted to use the baby to salvage the situation. But as the car reached the estate gates, the brakes suddenly failed and it slammed into a security barrier.”
“Celeste miscarried on the spot. Lucian, not wanting a royal pregnancy on record, refused to let the royal medical wing treat her for bloodline stabilization. He only allowed a private Healer to save her life. The delay nearly killed her.”

The first person arrested by the royal guard was Elliot, who was serving at the capital garrison.
By the time the news reached me, Elliot was already locked inside the royal security center.
