She was on her bed, lying in wait for an information when her phone began vibrating beside her, indicating that there was a call coming in. Harriet snatched the phone to her line of sight and answered the call the moment she saw the caller ID.“Have you done the job?” she inquired the moment she responded to the call, her brows creased with sheer curiosity.“Yes,” replied the deep, masculine voice from the other line. “We succeeded in locking them all in, not one escape path left.”Harriet grinned with sheer excitement at the news as her heart fluttered with relief and logistical, vengeful pride. She was finally getting back at Adonis for what he'd done to her Oliver. Ever since the doctor had told her that he had a fifty percent chance of survival, she had been darkened with the need for revenge against Adonis. She hired someone to keep on his tail and dig into his life to find out what she would use against him as her retaliation and found out that he was always around the woman th

On the course of his deliberation, Adonis then decided that getting Valerie to a medical center first was fairer, as he couldn’t bear her little pained whimpers in the back seat of her car. She laid at the backseat, fragile and in pain—and it hurt his gut so badly. He knew that he could not just give an excuse as to why he wasn’t at the palace as it would tag him as irresponsible and not fit for the throne to Oliver's favor. He didn’t want that. And then was when a rising need for Jesse erupted, because he couldn’t also leave her side. He glanced at Valerie through the rear-view mirror at the back seat in her distressed state and his remorse piled. But before he could rev up the car engine to move, his phone beeped, signaling to his attention that a message had entered his phone. He looked into it and confirmed that it was a message from Jesse. In case you get this message, your highness, we’re already at your location; it read. Adonis typed in a brisk reply about the others tha

As Oliver couldn’t contain the upheaval of dismay and frustration at the sight of Adonis being appreciated by people, he rose from his seat to limp away towards the exit, Harriet clinging to his side as they made to the door through the throng of people. Deep down, he couldn’t deny the insecurity that piled up as did his anger, and couldn’t help buy ponder on the may things Adonis could do to him in his esteemed position and get away with. His memory reeled back to the time he’d been beaten up by Adonis's men. Adonis’s escape from the gang assault and the ban that had been placed on the gang as they were arrested. It all made sense to him then. They managed to pass the reporters without having to be stopped, as their minds were on capturing on photos of their future king for reference purpose to notice the lesser prince and his supposed lover walk out of the hall. Oliver was bitter with spite. All his life before the man he’d never expected to be his stepbrother came into the picture

The moment Adonis stepped foot into the office of the landlord of the apartment he’d previously rented—the same apartment he was kicked out from with no explanation as to why he had been evicted, although he knew why—and greeted him with a mischievous smile, the landlord began sprouting rude, slandering words at Adonis, oblivious to Adonis's revealed identity. Adonis had not walked in with his cortege of bodyguards like he had at the office, thus causing the man to think he was still a poor old fella who just happened to have a change of wardrobe.As the man ranted on, demanding that he left the building immediately, Adonis watched the man in amusement, surprised that he was still unaware of whom he was talking to. Due to Adonis's incapability to leave as he demanded, and a growing annoyance at the smug look he wore on his expression, he called for the security officers that guarded the building, and they answered with swiftness to his call. He ordered them to have Adonis thrown out o

As they awaited Adonis's move, Oliver threw him a taunting smirk. But his proud exterior was soon extinguished when Adonis took up a T-shirt from the rack of expensive clothing worth three million dollars and bought it on the spot. This made the manager even more gleeful that he ordered one of his sales attendant to fish out racks of different expensive clothing, eager to make humongous sales as this showdown between both princes was his break way.Adonis's stunt reeled Oliver into an ocean of confusion, alarm and anxiety that he became more than skittish enough to continue the brawl. It became clear enough that it was some sort of trap Adonis was planning to lure him into, but it seemed already too late to back out, because if he were to quit, Adonis would win and he would suffer embarrassment. Meanwhile, Harriet saw Oliver's hinged expression and made to encourage him against Adonis, as she also didn’t want him to get embarrassed, therefore, causing her also to suffer the same emba
