Kenzie's POV
It's been a year since the death of Sienna. But now, we've been strong. Currently, our son, Prince Edward, was sent to a house near the castle, near my sisters. And a few miles north from Maddie's children. Maddie, stayed with my son so he gets the care he needs. Everything he touches or is around must be cleaned.
"I heard there are threats in the south side of the kingdom. What's that about?" I asked my husband.
"Yes. I sent some guards and men to find out what the problem is." He replied, then ate a piece of dinner.
"Darling, May we go to bed now? My mother has been sending me letter after letter asking if I am with child yet. We need another heir darling." I explained to my husband.
"Not tonight sweetheart. I have papers to fill. I promise darling, I will make it up to you." He kissed me goodbye, then went to his office chamber. I sighed, not getting my husband's affection again. I'd like to have more children, but can't do that without my husband.
I went to my chamber, the servants got my bath ready, as I took off my jewels. "Your majesty, the bath is ready." I nodded, then went in the room with the bath. The servant helped me strip of my clothing, then left so I could bathe.

As I sat in the water, I heard the door open. I thought it was a maid, so I said, "Cecilia. I never asked you to come-" but I stopped when I knew it was someone else. I opened my eyes to see a man, his pants tight from the bulge in his pants. "GET OUT!" I yelled, but he covered my mouth with his hand.
I squirmed to get out, but he was stronger. Where were my guards? He took me out of the bath, and dragged me to the bed, where I saw the door blocked. Every time I tried to hit him, he smacked me in many different places, mostly in places where only my husband should touch, let alone see.
I tried to scream but he used a piece of my clothing to tie it around my head and close my mouth. I was screaming, but stopped when I felt it go into me. I just was, quiet. It felt as if I were dead. I was lifeless.
It felt like forever, I heard noises, then other things. But I didn't move. "Mackenzie, Mackenzie!" If was my husband. But I didn't care to look. I was lifeless.

Days gone by, 4 weeks to be exact, the man, dead from when my husband stabbed him to death when he saw the rapist on top of me. No one would've ever thought I committed adultery. If they would've even thought of a thing, they would've been committing treason.
I haven't left my room. Not once. Johnny tried to talk to me, but I don't respond. I look at this certain spot on the wall. Blank, but it's where I looked when I was raped.
Normal POV
Mackenzie, knew something happened that shouldn't. The rape, and what's come of it. A pregnancy. Not her husbands, the rapist's child.
"Darling, you're out of bed." Yes, it was her first time out of bed, but just a few steps away, sitting at her desk.
"Johnny," she cried out. He ran to her side, and comforted her.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked as she cried into his should.
"I haven't gotten my round." He knew what that meant.
"No, no. You can't be." He said, knowing if it was a child growing in her stomach, it wasn't his. They haven't had an intimate moment for two months, and last month, she had her round.
"I can't," she couldn't speak, her words were thrown out of her throat. She didn't know what to do.
"I will send you to Maddie's house until you have birthed that traitor's baby. Then you'll come back." Johnny explained, trying not to sound mad but he was furious.
___
During those months Mackenzie was at Maddie's, she given birth to a pair of twins. Two boys. She named them Finn and Freddie. Maddie will raise them in secret, Mackenzie would only be aloud to see him 3 times a year. Their birthday, Christmas Eve, and the day after her birthday.
While she was gone, Johnny had, intimate relationships with many other women. Mackenzie was clueless. She had no idea what was going on in the castle. She stayed in the house, not stepping the outside for 8 months. She wrote to her husband, everyday. But he only replied a few times.
"Your majesty, it's time." Mackenzie kissed her twins bye, then held her gown as she walked to the carriage. The whole kingdom thought she went to visit her mother and aunt in Montreal.
The queen stepped into the carriage, her sister and niece and nephews waiting. She never got to see her other son the time she was pregnant. That made her cry every night. Maddie told her what he looked like and every milestone he took.
Once they arrived at the castle, it looked the same. But Mackenzie knew there were many different things. Just the vibe of the castle gave her shivers.
"Maddie. Tell me, what has changed?" Mackenzie asked her sister.
"I better not tell you sister." Maddie replied, then they all got out of the carriage.
That frightened Mackenzie. Horns were heard, letting the castle know he queen is back. Mackenzie smiles when she saw her husband. But faded when he didn't even smile, but instead snuck a look at a lady of the court.
Johnny wine tip to his wife, putting on a smile, "hello darling." He said to her, making a hand motion for her to walk with him inside.
"You've changed. And I don't believe it's for the good, husband." Mackenzie said as they walked in.
"I've changed. We all have." He said then brought her to their chamber.
"What do you want to talk about?" Mackenzie asked.
"Have you gotten rid of your bastard?" He asked with a different tone she wasn't used to.
"You mean Finn and Freddie? Yes. I will never see them again." It pained her to say those words.
"Your majesty. Prince Edward is here." A maid informed then let the child in.
Mackenzie was brought into tears at the sight of her son. He was walking. She missed his first steps. "Oh my darling!" Mackenzie smiled then her son went into her arms. "I missed you my baby." She told her son.
She let him go and watched Edward leap into his father's arms. Mackenzie then saw the man she married. The true man Johnny was.
"The kingdom expects you to produce another son. Not another bastard." Johnny spat at her when their child left.
"I know. But I just gave birth. We have to wait. Just a little please." Mackenzie begged, placing her hands on his chest.
He rolled his eyes and headed to the door.
"You do not leave the queen like that!" Mackenzie yelled, stopping her husband from leaving. "I am the right queen to this throne! I could easily leave you helpless along with your family! I can take away our son just like that!" Mackenzie pauses. "You were MARRIED into king. I was BORN to be QUEEN!" Mackenzie yelled, then lost her breath.
"Mackenzie?" Johnny questioned as Mackenzie held her stomach, gasping for air. "Mackenzie!" He rushes over, and she moved her hand, there he saw blood drenching from her gown. "CALL THE PHYSICIAN! THE QUEEN IS BLEEDING!"
