A Rise to the Throne Chapter 48: Let's play a Game.
The door's bell dinged the moment Adonis stepped through its glass doors, his eyes searching for Oliver and Harriet. Then, he spots them moving around the place, from one cloth rack to another, in search of clothes they were going to purchase. Those around him that noticed his presence bowed their head in a significant reverence as he walked past them to Oliver, his expression mischievous. “Oliver!” he called out to their attention and they froze in a spot. Oliver, not failing to recognize the voice of his enemy, unhurriedly turned in the direction of Adonis's voice. Their eyes met, coursing in the atmosphere a mix of different expressions from their gazes. Oliver's gaze was visibly irked by the sight of Adonis, yet lingered a brief amount of fear and caution as to what he was doing there. Harriet was not left out in this emotion sharing battle, as hers was a trembling mess. Adonis acquired pleasure at the sight of the state he’d left them in at one glance of him, and he strode from
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 49: Tension in the Boutique.
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
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 50: Who Wins?
To everyone’s amazement and dismay, Adonis asked to buy the whole boutique itself, with all the goods contained inside of it. It was awe-striking and appalling to everyone that even the manager stood stunned for a moment. Silence descended on them as dew and anticipation hung heavy in the atmosphere. The request stung Oliver like an arrow to the heart that his knees wobbled in utter disbelieving fright.Harriet wasn’t left out in that marveling moment, as she also was stunned at the fact that Adonis would want to buy something that expensive and expect Oliver to counter it.Jesse, on the other hand, watched Adonis make the decision. But as much as he did not like the extravagant height Adonis was climbing, he didn’t make a move to stop him. Anything to hinder a joyous expression from etching on Oliver's prideful look.“How much does it cost? The boutique?” Adonis asked the manager with an unhinged expression, as if he had all the wealth in the world to squander without effort.“Uh…” t
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 51: Heartbroken.
Some nurses walked into the room on his confused state, holding some sheets in their arms. They noticed Adonis's presence and remarked him with a greeting before one of the nurses headed to the bed to change the sheets. Their action dawned on him a more complex perplexity, as he did not understand why they were changing the sheets when someone was still admitted in that ward, on that bed, but on a view of his expression, the less busy nurse addressed him to relieve his confusion “Sir, you must be in search of the patient that was admitted here,” she probed. “Yeah, where is she?” Adonis asked, his brows knotted as it revealed his puzzlement. “She was discharged just some moments ago, sir,” she replied, her expression docile. Adonis's brows contorted into a furrow of surprise and bewilderment, and then infuriated at the fact that they hadn't informed him before letting that happen.“How could you discharge a patient without the knowledge of the person that had brought them in?!” he q
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 52: Dangerous Plan.
Fuming with anger as he clenched his fists with gritted teeth, Oliver barged into his Father—king Archie's chambers to confront him on the decision they’d taken making Adonis his successor. He couldn’t stand it any longer; couldn’t tolerate Adonis any second more. The throne was still his goal and nothing could deter him from standing on the fact that Adonis did not deserve the position as their father’s successor.“Father!” he bellowed, his nose puffing invisible fume as he stepped into his Father’s room, disturbing his evening siesta. “What now, Oliver?” King Archie groaned as he laid on his back, visibly disturbed and weary to tolerate any ranting from Oliver, but Oliver didn’t notice that to respect the verity.“I assure you father, that you made a mistake making that guy your heir instead of me,” Oliver said, his expression contorted in a plight to convince the King to pay him heed. King Archie, who had already foreseen Oliver's outburst the moment he'd barged disrespectful into
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 53: The maids.
She was visibly startled by the sight of her father at the door, in his wheelchair, staring up at her in a conclusively concerned manner. In a bid to not alert Oliver on the fact that there was a high tendency her father had heard what they'd discussed, Harriet shut the door close before turning to her father.She hadn’t expected him eavesdropping, but it was something that was bound to occur at any moment of their stay in the house. And it had been just a few days back, after what had happened to Oliver, that her parents had moved to the house to keep her company. It had been worthwhile during the period she was alone, but at that moment, she saw their presence as nothing but a disturbing burden that she mostly wondered what still kept them back from moving back to their own allocated home.“What are you doing here, Father?” she inquired, her gaze repudiating. “Harriet,” his tone of voice confirmed the fact that he had definitely overheard her conversation with Oliver, so she headed
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 54: Persuading Him.
Adonis's shoulder hung dejectedly as he made his way to his chamber, his feet lagging as they dragged him up to the room. There was nothing to hide anymore, as his identity had already been revealed, so he needed not to stay in the hotel any longer. The palace was his home now, and the title of a Prince was his.A title that caused him the only shimmer of hope he’d gotten from life.His expression was a mix of guilt and sadness as he strode into the room that was intricated with Princely dignity and explicit—his room. He was too distraught to notice the little changes that had been implemented in it. The wardrobe change. The linen curtains that hadn’t been there before. All of those did not matter to him, but Valerie.The fact that had dawned on him that he was losing her forever plunged him into an engulfing depression that he could barely utter a word. In his distraught state, he could barely prepare himself for the family banquet that was supposed to hold that evening on his behalf
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 55: Failure Again.
They awaited just so eagerly for him to take up that morsel of food into his mouth and mark the end achievement of their mission, but the ruckus that seemed to be happening outside the room disrupted him from doing so. Thus, as he was pricked with somewhat curiosity on what was going on, he dropped the spoon to the plate and stood to his feet, making his way towards the door. In a panic fidget to make him eat the meal instead of leaving the room and getting the job over with, the maids tried compelling him with words to disperse his attention from whatever was happening outside his room to eating the food, at least a spoon full, but Adonis wasn’t one to be deterred when his attention had already been pricked by curiosity. Pushing them aside from his way, he escaped through the door, only to find his Father—King Archie—lying unconscious on the ground just right in front of his room, surrounded by lots of panicking servants and maids. An addition was the queen. Shoving them out of his w
