'Gwen pushed him back, trying to create enough space between them. "I do not love you."
Alexander smirked. "You do. You just don't know that you do."
Gwen moved back. "Do you know the ways of my heart."
"Yes, I do. And it tells the truth. You are only too stubborn to acknowledge it." He moved closer, pressing her against the wall. "When you decide to tell yourself the truth, I will be waiting." He kissed her forehead. "But don't make me wait long. I am not as patient as people think." This time he kissed her lips and staked off, leaving Gwen in a complete daze.'

Marriage and a family is all life is to Gwen and she would see to it that she is not humiliated before then. A wife, and not a mistress is what she plans to be, but what can be done when the king of her country makes a proposal to put her by his side?

Alexander is used to getting what he wants and getting his way, after all, he is King. But when he sets his eyes on the young and beautiful Guinevere who is just as stubborn as he is, will making her stay at the castle earn him her love, or will it be the beginning of his undoing?

HATING HER KING

"Aunt Marrily, would you please? Enough with the crying." Gwen chided her Aunt as they stood on the stairs, watching the wedding carriage ride out into the sunset. Everyone had come out to watch and wave, bidding farewell as the newly-weds departed, leaving for their honeymoon. They intended to spend some weeks in London, before leaving for their new home. "She is still your daughter, she has only gotten married."

Aunt Marrily sniffled. "I cannot believe it, my little girl, married and off to raise a family of her own." She sniffled again.

"It is what you have always prayed for." Gwen interjected.

"It is not always as easy, dear." She wiped her cheeks with her handkerchief. "Lucy now has a household to command. Can you believe it, Victoria?"

Her mother was teary-eyed too. "At least yours is eager to start her family. Beth wants nothing to do with marriage."
