Maxon's POV 
                          
Kriss's coronation is coming up fast. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want her being queen. She would be a horrible ruler and I want America to rule by my side. Not Kriss. I also want a divorce. Now that I know that America feels the same way I want America. 
                          
Even if America would still choose Aspen over me, I know that I want Kriss gone. She doesn't belong here. Even my father dislikes her. America has gotten under my father's skin. He believes that Kriss is the one who planted the bomb. Father has become better since Mother was hurt. 
                          
Clarkson's POV 
                          
Kriss needs to pay for what she caused. Because of her my wife is injured and hurt. I don't have any proof it was her I just know in my heart it was Kriss though. I remember when she told me to drop Amberly. Kriss has bad mouthed Amberly so much. How could I have not seen something like this coming? 
                          
When I heard what that, America has said. She told anyone who would listen that she thought it was Kriss. America supposedly overheard Kriss talking on the phone with her friends at the rebel base and that she and the rebels talked about the attack. 
                          
I was just walking down the hallway when I look through the glass window and see Kriss and the new doctor talking. We hired that doctor because she specialized in pregnancy and kids. If Kriss was pregnant than we would need a speacial doctor for that. Kriss suggested Dr. Britney, so we hired her. 
                          
"What are you talking about?" Kriss screamed at the doctor. I easedropped a little. 
                          
"Kriss I promise you I thought Amberly was in her room! I heard talking. I thought it was her!" Dr. Britney argued. 
                          
"Well you were wrong! Dead wrong. Now because of that rookie mistake you killed three maids and a few guards. Not the QUEEN! You know our intended target?" Kriss got all up into Dr. Britney's face. 
                          
Dr. Britney closed her eyes and sighed. "Kriss I promise. It was an accident! The queen is hurt. Isn't that enough?" 
                          
"No! No that is not enough. I need the queen dead! Not "injured" if I wanted the queen injured I would have planned something that would have INJURED her! I want her DEAD. Do you understand me? With that PHD that you would understand my simple instructions." Kriss storms out of the room and runs into me. 
                          
"You! You planted the bomb! How dare you-" she cut me off. This girl had the nerve to cut me off. 
                          
"What? Marry into the royal family? Try to kill off your wife? Have allies in the castle? Trick you? Fake my pregnancy to get Maxon to love me more? There is a whole list of amazing accomplishments that I have. Oh and don't forget Clarkson. You helped me through most of it." She smirked. I wanted to slap the smirk off of her face so bad. 
                          
"Why do you think you can just tell me about all of this and expect me not to tell anyone? I could ruin your coronation. Say bye bye to being queen. And say bye bye to Maxon." It was my turn to smirk. 
                          
"Oh Clarkson you really are an idiot. I have so much on you. I could ruin YOU. Not the other way around. You think you are all high and mighty. Well. You're not. Sorry. But it's true." She laughed in my face. She was so rude as to laugh in it. How dare she. 
                          
"And what do you have on me that could ruin me exactly?" I ask her and she just laughs more. 
                          
"Well let's name all the horrible crap you've done. 1. You cheated on your beloved wife. So who's the evil person now?? How would Amberly feel when she learns that you cheated on her? She did everything for you. Why repay her by sleeping with another women? Oh and one of my favorites! 2. You beat your son! Who does that? Even Satan wouldn't even be that cruel to his son? Again. How would your wife take that information? That you whip your son whenever he does something bad or something you don't like. No. Wait. How would Illéa react? If I'm not wrong, it's illegal to whip your kids. What do they call it? Child abuse? It's really funny because your parents are the ones that enforced that. Ironic really." Kriss says and smiles evilly. "Awwwe I've left the great King Clarkson, Wait, EX KING, speechless. I've done the impossible. Haha. I'm amazing. Truly. So if you want to keep your family, Illéa, and basically the world at peace with you than I wouldn't say anything if I were you. Clarkson face it. I'm better than you now. I'll have more power soon, once I'm queen. The main thing that I'm threatening you with is that if you tell a single soul. I will ruin you and your family. You don't want that do you?" She walks away with a smile on her face. 
                          
Maxon's POV 
                          
So I was in my room minding my own business when I needed to find my one maroon tie. I needed it for a press conference that was in a half an hour. I couldn't find it on my side so I decided to search for it on Kriss's side. 
                          
You will not believe what I found. Fake pregnancy cushions that could make it look like you're pregnant. Kriss was faking her pregnancy. Even more reason to divorce her. It would remove one of the many weights that could force me to stay. I still didn't know how I would divorce her, but I knew I had to. 
                          
I put the cushions back under the dresses she had in the drawer. I would save this new information till I needed it. I couldn't let her get away with this. I knew what I had to do. 

                          
I went to my mother's room where she was still healing from the bomb. I knocked and a guard let me in. My mom was laying in the bed and she looked up when she heard the door open. 
                          
"Darling! What brings you here?" She asks and smiles. 
                          
"I confessed my love for America. She loves me back mother!" I say happily. Her face seems to lift and glow a little more after I said what I did. 
                          
"Sweet heart that is amazing! Why did you tell me exactly?" He face frowned a little. 
                          
"I want to divorce Kriss. I don't know how to. All I know is that I'll do whatever it takes. If I need to fake my death. I will. If I need to sign one million papers I will. Anything. I'll do anything Mother. Please tell me how!" I pleaded. 
                          
"Come here darling. I need to tell you something." She patted the bed next to her. I make my way over and I sat down next to her. 
                          
A lot happened in this chapter!! Sorry in my last chapter I said I would post again on the 2nd. I forgot there was 31 days in July... sorry again I totally had a brain glitch when I was writing that. What do you think the King will do with the information he's learned? How about Maxon? I feel like a lot of people knew she was not pregnant. I got inspiration from the tv show Glee. You know when the wife fakes her pregnancy? Well that happened. Where do you think Dr. Britney fits into this whole thing? Please please comment!! And vote!!
                          
I will post again 8/3/18
                          
Spoiler: Kriss's coronation day is next!!
