Best Friend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby
Marrying her best friend was a dream come true for Kelly, but everything truly has a limitation. Pierce is Kelly’s first love, but as his best friend, she knew well there was always another woman deep in his heart. Lexi Gilbert. The woman Pierce could never forget even if he had already been arranged to marry Kelly. *** Kelly finally realized their happy marriage of the last three years was just a beautiful dream when Pierce asked for a divorce just because Lexi returned. She could only be his best friend even if she was carrying his baby. *** Since their friendship had become a cage, Kelly chose to set him free, as well as the miserable herself. But why then, it was Pierce who became the one who refused to move on? To make matters worse, her devil stepbrother also domineeringly stepped in at the same time, asking her to be his. *** Her Prince Charming vs. Her Devil Stepbrother? How could Kelly save her heart in this battle of love and hate?Prince Alexander stared out of his bedroom window, his eyes fixed on the crowd gathering below. From the palace's marble balcony, the scene looked like a painting - hundreds of citizens clustered in the square, their banners waving in the wind like angry brushstrokes. The chants of the protesters were faint but unmistakable: "Down with the monarchy! Power to the people!"
He sighed and turned away, pacing the room in frustration. As the heir to the throne, he had been trained for a life of diplomacy and public duty, but nothing in his upbringing had prepared him for this - the growing unrest, the demands for change, and the widening gap between the royals and their people. His father, King Leopold, had always maintained that the monarchy was the bedrock of the nation, a symbol of stability in uncertain times. But Alexander couldn't help but wonder if that bedrock was starting to crack.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. It was his closest advisor, Lord Kensington, a man who had served the royal family for decades. His stern expression was unchanged as he entered, holding a tablet displaying live footage from the square.
"It's escalating, Your Highness," Kensington said gravely. "The protesters have begun pushing against the barricades. We've called for more security, but it's only a matter of time before things get out of hand."
Alexander frowned, his mind racing. "And what are they demanding this time?"
Kensington scrolled through the feed. "The usual - more transparency, cuts to royal spending, and, of course, a complete overhaul of the monarchy. The woman leading the protest is becoming quite the figurehead."
"The woman?" Alexander raised an eyebrow.
"Sofia Alvarez," Kensington replied, tapping the screen to show a close-up of a young woman standing at the front of the crowd. She was waving a flag, her eyes ablaze with passion, her voice ringing clear over the shouts. "She's been stirring up dissent for months. We've tried to keep tabs on her, but she's remarkably elusive."
