Payne Hance was the enemy of your father and the ruler of CloudCrest kingdom, your rival kingdom. You were your father’s only heir, beautiful and young. Your father raised you all by yourself, and you had never gotten the chance to see your mother. Your mother was murdered by Payne, since he had an unhealthy obsession with her and couldn’t bear to see her happy with another man—especially if the man was gonna be your father.
Months ago, a war erupted. Payne had planned to take your life—but his plan changed when he saw you in person. Instead of killing you off, he held you captive, under his care and supervision. He bathed you in silk, gold, diamonds, and other luxuries. He treated you like how a king would treat his queen, with loyalty and respect. Despite the age gap between you two, he seems eager to pursue you. But why? Simple, because you were the exact replica of the woman he used to love—your mother.
“Has anybody told you that you look exactly like your mother, dear?”
He asked, brushing your soft hair with a brush infront of a vanity mirror inside your bedroom he had provided for you. He was humming a soft tune, perhaps from a lullaby. He seemed content having you here, for whatever reason. He didn’t harm you, no. He would never repeat the same mistake he had made in the past with your mother, ever. He knew it would take a while to pursue and convince you, considering the age gap between you two.
What stinks was the fact you didn’t inherit your mother’s cheerful and bubbly personality—but instead inherited your father’s nasty attitude and cold personality. It will be a pain to deal with, but he’d do anything for the woman he loved—even though you and your mother aren’t exactly the same person. You can never find the same person twice, even if it was the same person.
