Thanks to everyone who has followed my story and takes the time to review. It means a lot to me to see each and every review. Hope that you enjoy this chapter.
Carter usually took Sundays off, so she didn't open her eyes until she saw the sun filtering through the curtains. She looked down and watched Rosie sleep. She looked so peaceful, so angelic. Carter felt that her heart would burst with love. She kissed Rosie's forehead softly.
"Mmm, morning baby," mumbled Rosie with a smile.
"Good morning, my queen. How about if I take my two favorite girls to town for breakfast this morning," suggested Carter.
Rosie happily agreed and they all got ready for their first family outing. They climbed into Carter's trailblazer after Carter checked and double checked that her princess was properly buckled in. They pulled in front of a nice looking family diner and Carter turned towards Rosie. "Rosie, this is Taylor's parents' restaurant. We're not eating here, but I want to talk to Taylor and apologize to her parents before you and I go out publicly as a couple," explained Carter.
Rosie nodded and leaned in to peck Carter's lips. "Are you sure this is what you want? I don't want you to do something that you might regret later," said Rosie fearful that Carter might change her mind.
Carter grinned at Rosie. "Trying to get rid of me so quickly Rosalinda? No deal, this time you're stuck with me for life," joked Carter as she leaned in for a sweet kiss before hopping off the trailblazer.
"Carter, what a sight for sore eyes!" exclaimed Andrea, Taylor's mom, as she rushed over to embrace the brunette. "Scott, look who's here!" called out Andrea.
Taylor's dad came out of the kitchen wiping his hands on his apron with a huge grin. "'Bout time you came by to see this old man," he said patting Carter on the back.
Carter forced a smile because she was extremely uncomfortable with the situation. She knew that Taylor's parents really loved her and she loved them too. "Where's Tay?" she questioned as she looked around the small diner and didn't see her fiancé.
"O she's upstairs with Miley. They should be down soon, but go on up if you want," said Andrea with a huge smile.
Carter nodded and went out the back door to climb the stairs to the second floor. She was surprised to find the door unlocked and opened it softly. "For someone who finds licking pussy disgusting, you're pretty fucking good at it," said Carter angrily as she watched Taylor eat out a brunette that Carter could only assume was Miley. Both girls were naked and together on a disheveled bed. Carter didn't think that they had gotten much sleep. They seemed to have been going at it for hours.
Taylor lifted her head quickly and looked at Carter like a deer caught in the headlights, while Miley covered her own body with a sheet.
"I have a feeling that this isn't the first time. Want to know the funny part? I actually felt bad coming here today. I thought I would break your heart by calling off the engagement, but at least I was being fucking honest. You have been cheating on me with this whore for who knows how long. We're done Taylor. Have fun with your booty call. I'm changing the locks on the house, so don't bother coming back. I will pack all your stuff and bring them to your parents. They will be so proud to know what you were up to. I'm going to marry the woman I love and form a proper family for my daughter. You will never be half of the woman that Rosie is. I don't know how I thought that you could ever replace her," said Carter with a bitter laugh.
"What did you expect Carter? You spent all your time with Rosalinda and Bella. It was as if I didn't exist," countered Taylor.
"I never cheated Taylor! Last night was the first night that I made love to Rosie since we got reunited and that is why I came here today, to be honest with you. But you know nothing about honesty. You have been going behind my back for who knows how long. If you had told me that you had fallen for someone else. I would have understood. I would have been happy for you and we could have remained friends. Don't play the victim," replied Carter as she headed out. "Keep the ring. I don't think that bum can afford one," Carter called over her shoulder.
Carter went back to the truck and smiled sadly at Rosie. "Ready to go my queen?" she asked as she put the truck in motion.
Rosie looked at her worriedly. "Carter, what happened?" she questioned.
"Apparently, Taylor has been screwing Miley behind my back. I walked in on her going down on Miley. I told her she was pretty good at it for someone who found it disgusting," said Carter with a harsh laugh.
Rosie reached over for Carter's hand. "O Carter, I'm so sorry. I know that you thought Taylor was different, but to be honest, I suspected something was going on," confessed Rosie.
"Yeah, she wasn't the person I thought she was, but who cares. The woman I love is perfect in every way," said Carter with a grin as she pressed her lips against Rosie's.
A Month Later
Costa Luna
King Alfonso sat behind his desk and glared at the two women sitting in front of him. "Let me see if I understand you correctly. You want me to give you a divorce and the nation of Costa Luna. In exchange you give up all rights to Costa Estrella and Costa del Sol," said King Alfonso as he rubbed his chin.
"And you renounce any rights to Princess Anabella," Carter reminded him.
"Why should I agree to such terms? I am the ruler of Las Costas, I have an heiress and a beautiful wife," said King Alfonso smiling evilly.
Rosie looked at King Alfonso with hate filled eyes as she placed a restraining hand on Carter's arm. "A wife that is in love with someone else and a daughter that adores her mommy. Why don't you just give me a divorce and find a woman that loves you? You are a handsome and powerful man Alfonso. Use it to your advantage. You can have another heir. Bella is mine and Carter's," said Rosie.
King Alfonso nodded curtly. "Very well. I will sign all the necessary documents," he said as he leaned down over the papers.
Before he could sign, the door burst open and they heard a loud commotion outside the window. They all stood up and walked to the window. There were thousands of people gathered outside. Mr. Elegante rushed to open the window with a huge grin on his face.
"Viva La Reina Rosalinda! Viva La Futura Reina Carter!" they all chanted.
"Those are people from all over Las Costas. They are here to protest your decision. They want you and Carter to rule Las Costas. They want King Alfonso to step down or they will hang him in the town square. Your mother was wrong Queen Rosalinda. Your people love both you and Carter, they want you to rule the united nation of Las Costas," explained Mr. Elegante happily.
Alfonso looked terrified as he saw the large group outside. "I resign to everything," he said signing the papers and writing in that he wanted nothing to do with Las Costas, Queen Rosalinda, or Princess Anabella, before running out like the coward that he was.
Rosie took Carter's hand and led her to the window to address their people. "Gracias por su apoyo. Carter y yo no los defraudaremos (Thanks for your support, we won't let you down)," said Queen Rosalinda before turning to kiss her fiancé. The congregation erupted in applause.
Carter grinned at Rosie before pulling away. "I'll be right back my queen," said Carter. Carter hurried out of the office and spotted Alfonso as he was about to leave. "Not so fast. Seize him!" ordered Carter. This time the guards didn't hesitate to act. Carter approached Alfonso and caught his chin with an uppercut as the guards held him up. "That was for putting your hands on my fiancé," said Carter with a satisfied smirk. "Have you ever heard the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer?" questioned Carter as she faced her head guard Tomas. "Tomas show Alfonso to his new quarters and do me a favor and don't mention this to Queen Rosalinda," requested Carter.
The guards nodded and dragged a dazed Alfonso away.
"Baby, what are you doing?" questioned Rosie with a raised eyebrow as she walked into the entry hall moments after Alfonso disappeared from sight.
Carter grinned at Rosie and walked towards her. She surrounded her slender waist and pecked her lips. "Making sure that the trash leaves the palace," replied Carter.
Below the castle, the guards dragged Alfonso through the labyrinth that led to the Costa Luna dungeon. It hadn't been used for years, so no one would come looking for Alfonso. They would feed him to make sure that he lived a long life thinking about what he did. Tomas unlocked the dungeon door and tossed him in. "I hope you enjoy Costa Luna's finest establishment," said Tomas with a grin as he closed the door. The guards walked away as Alfonso's cries became an echo in the distance.
The months passed and Carter was cranky because of all the wedding plans. She understood why they couldn't have a small wedding, but that didn't mean that she was happy about it. She was also a bit sad because although she was happy in Las Costas, she missed spending her day in the ranch. Royal Acres and the animals had sold quickly along with her sense of independence.
Rosie stepped into her bedroom with ten month Bella on her hip. "Carter, there is no need to look so annoyed. The wedding is only a week away and then you can hide if you want to," chastised Rosie.
"Then what, Rosie? You will be busy ruling and what will I do all day. I will feel like a useless stay at home wife," complained Carter as she took Bella from Rosie.
Rosie frowned at Carter. "You are not useless Carter. You will get to spend time with Bella and plus it was you who chose to remain in the background. You said that you wanted nothing to do with the politics. Come with me. I have something that will cheer you up," announced Rosie as she pulled Carter outside and into a waiting chauffeured black Cadillac Escalade.
As the Escalade came to a stop, Carter's mouth dropped open and she jumped out. "No freaking way. How?" she questioned as she turned towards Rosie who had stepped out of the Escalade with Bella in arms.
Rosie knew that Carter loved life in Royal Acres and that she had moved to Las Costas to please her. She decided that the best way to thank her was to give her the best of both worlds. Rosie had an exact replica, only at a slightly larger scale, of Royal Acres, built inside the palace grounds. She had one of her advisors pose as a buyer to buy all of Carter's animals and have them shipped to Las Costas.
A black horse trotted over to the fence and Carter's eyes teared up. "Majesty?" she said choking up. She turned towards Rosie with glistening eyes awaiting an explanation.
Rosie smiled at her lovingly as she took her hand. "I know that you loved your ranch and I wanted to thank you. Now you can live here with me and enjoy the life of a rancher," said Rosie as she captured Carter's lips in a kiss.
"That's not all, Pal," said Major Mason as he appeared hand and hand with Sophia. They had made up after Rosie and Carter got back together.
Carter had convinced both Major Mason and Rosie that Sophia was only trying to do what she thought was best for Rosie. Carter understood her point of view now that she had a daughter of her own. As a mother you want what's best for your children.
Major Mason had a badge in his hand. "The PPP wants their best agent back. They know that you have more responsibilities now, so your assistance will only be required in missions of extreme importance," said Major Mason proudly.
"Seriously, dad? I'm back in the PPP?" questioned Carter as she reached out for badge. "Thank you so much dad," she said happily before turning towards her fiancé who was grinning proudly.
Carter took Bella from Rosie and kissed both her cheeks. "Hear that princess? Mommy is a PPP agent again. Aren't you proud?" she asked her daughter as she nuzzled her cheek before turning towards the love of her life. "Thank you so much Rosie. You have given me more than I could have ever wished for," whispered Carter as she leaned in to capture her future wife's lips in a loving kiss.
For Carter Mason, life was falling into place. The days as bait girl were long gone. At twenty one, she was the Future Queen of Las Costas, she had both of her dream jobs, a beautiful fiancé whom she loved with all her heart, and an adorable daughter. What more could she ask for?
