THE KING'S RIVAL

Everyone stared at me dumbfounded.

Ivan was staring at my stomach which was showing through the gown. He wasn't the only one Kiran and Yasmin were also staring at my stomach as if it was the strangest thing they've ever seen. Although I can't really blame them, it must be the strangest thing they've ever heard. Two babies growing inside of me. Something no one has ever heard before.

"Two?" Ivan asked me.

I nodded my head in confirmation as I gave him a wry smile.

"Two? Inside of you?" Kiran asked and I nodded my head again at him. "Well this just complicated things." He muse as he stared at my stomach.

Ivan cleared his throat before he spoke again. "How do you know that?"

"Tag'arkh." I blurted out.

Ivan scoffed in frustration. "Of course it had to be her, fucking Tag'arkh."

"Tell your husband to control his tongue or I'll burn it myself." Tag'arkh said in my mind clearly not happy with Ivan's statement.
