Adam turned back with his eyes shooting daggers at them.
“Hey! You don't need to stare at me like that!” Felix scoffed at him.“My love, go bring your things out please, I can't wait anymore,” Felix said shamelessly, facing Clara.Clara smooched his lips and smiled.“There is nothing here to take, I was just joking when I said there was something to take, like you wouldn't want me to take the rags, this idiot brought me to your beautiful mansion and fix in your golden wardrobe. Baby, I'm sure you wouldn't that” Clara uttered.“That's better, I don't want bugs in my house either,” Felix said with a smirk. Adam had never seen any person as disgraceful as these two standing in front of him, they were both disgraceful. Clara faced Adam, still with a disdainful and irritated look. “Remember to go to the divorce center tomorrow, so we can both complete the divorce process. I want this marriage done and dusted, I want it to be over like it never even started or even existed,” Clara reminded Adam before smiling at her lover. Felix finally faced Adam, if looks could kill, Felix would be dead right now. “I am Felix, your wife's newly found boyfriend or should I say, her lover” Felix introduced himself, he finally acknowledged Adam's presence. “Baby, don't say it like that, you make me look like a sinner” Clara chuckled and trailed her finger on his face. “And I'm sure you are her good-for-nothing ex-husband, the loser who has been making my love unhappy” Felix uttered, stroking her hair gently. “That's right baby, he's the loser I told you about” She added, pointing at Adam. “Your wife came to my company to seek assistance, regarding her company. She was a stunning woman when I met her. I was more than attracted to her, but she looked tattered and unkempt. How could such a gem be so rough?” Felix asked rhetorically. Adam raised his second eyebrow in disbelief, he didn't see any gem, all he's seeing was a dirty gold digger. “ I talked to her and seemed so shy and reserved, such a decent lady, I thought, but then she later agreed, and I made her the beautiful, classy, and well-polished gem you are seeing now, we got into a relationship and that was all for her to decide to divorce a penniless man like you. I also invested in the company that she inherited and right now, she is doing good. I'm doing what you should have done for her. Imagine she couldn't change her wardrobe, just because she was facing challenges in her company, but a dumbass like you would never understand that” Felix insulted looking down on Adam. “ He's penniless" “Yikes, I feel so sorry for you. Fortunately for you, I'm the only heir to my company, I mean a multimillionaire company, and I could offer you a job” Felix said like he was a reasonable person. He intends to mock Adam to scorn, to belittle and berate him, he thinks he's above him anyway. “Baby you are so generous” Clara kissed his lips and rested her head on his chest. “You could be a cleaner in my company, a delivery man, or my errand boy,” Felix said and laughed at his words. Adam finds himself rather calm now, any normal man in his position would punch the hell out of this ranting dog, he should do that right now, beat him to an unrecognizable state, and strangle Clara, but he's not ready to act like them. Felix continues ranting, but he isn't listening anymore, He wonders where he has gone wrong, there is nothing within his power that Clara has asked of him that he has never done, when she asked for the latest shoes last year, he struggled so hard, and did so many menial jobs to save up and get it for her. She didn't appreciate him, but he wasn't concerned about that.“Get out of my house!” Clara yelled and pushed him out. It was such a head push that Adam fell but stood up immediately and vacated the house completely.She never loved him from the beginning, because if she did, she wouldn't treat him hatefully. He is relieved and thankful that he has discovered her true intentions and character before he revealed his identity, and now he knows she's after money. “I won't be sad over you, I won't think of you any more Clara, you are dead to me” Adam muttered and sighed. He brought out his phone and sent a text message “I'm ready, Rohan”He waited under a tree for a stone thrown at Clara's family house. He watched how Clara was taken away inside Felix's black car.A few minutes later, a black limousine parked beside him. He didn't wait for the driver to come down and open the door for him before he hopped in.“Take me home” he ordered.“Yes, your highness” the driver bowed slightly before he started driving.It took them almost an hour before they entered what looked like an estate, due to the different buildings that were inside the place. Rohan continued driving for an additional ten minutes before he later parked in front of a gigantic building.Almost immediately he parked, two guys inside a palace security uniform rushed to open the car door for Adam.He stepped down from the car, wearing another look entirely. His looks were firm and with authorities.Hundreds of males and females were in queue and they all bowed immediately he stepped down.“Welcome back home, your highness” they chorused.“Oh my goodness! My prince is finally back home. I've been anticipating this moment for the past two years” an old woman, who happened to be his nanny, walked towards him and rejoiced.“I'm back home to rule as father wanted. I've been cheated on, and it's time to retaliate. I'm not just a Billionaire but the country prince and the only heir to the throne” he thought and smirked.“Finally, I'm home” he uttered sternly with his voice, roaring like a lion.The next morning, Adam flung his eyes open, inhaled, and looked around, he imagined that he just had a dream. Adam stood up and strode tiredly to his room, he noticed that he was sleeping on a huge white colored bed. He knew he wasn't dreaming, but had fully returned to the palace.Adam sighed, a knock came on the door, and he walked out of his room to the door. He opened it to see Rohan,his personal assistant. “Rohan,” Adam smiled. “Good morning, my prince” Rohan greeted and bowed respectfully to Adam. Adam paved the way for him, and he walked in, five other men walked in with items in their hands. “Good morning, your highness”“We have to dress you up and prepare you for the ball, " Rohan smiled, with his eyes lowered. “You mean the reunion tonight” Adam muttered, there was going to be a reunion tonight rather than a grand welcome party where he was going to be officially welcomed back to the palace.He left the palace three years ago, when his father approached him to go out
After a few minutes, the divorce was concluded, Adam didn't feel happy that his marriage was going to end like that but at least he was free from the burden of being with a woman who had hated him and detested him so much that she did not mind how much she could hurt him with her actions, if he wasn't a strong hearted person, he would even attempt committing suicide because last night was the most traumatizing moments of his life, it was like a nightmare that didn't want to end. Adam walked out of the court and his guards followed, Rohan was right behind him, he was elated that his boss was free from such a detestable woman, he would love for his boss to meet a better woman that would treat him right. Clara ran after them, still crying “Adam, Adam” Adam didn't even care to spare her a glance, the guard widened the door open and Adam entered, he closed the door, and the guards retired into the cars. “Adam, please listen to me, I apologize for what I did to you last night, everythin
After conversing for a while with his father, he left the hospital, not without checking the dramatic couple, but the man was still unconscious, and the report said he might enter coma.“The wife will know his worth when he enters coma, and she has to hustle for the family” he assumed.“I need to branch at Yummy's Restaurant. That's where I was working as a delivery man. I need to tell the manager that I'm done working with him so that he won't be waiting for me” he told Rohan after they left the hospital.“Noted, your highness” Rohan answered.After some minutes, they arrived at the restaurant.Adam instructed Rohan to stay behind, since resigning doesn't take long, and he had nothing that to discuss with the manager.On reaching there, it was already the lunchtime and the place was already crowded.“Hello Darren, I have something to tell you and I don't want to stay long” he approached the restaurant manager.“This isn't the right time for whatever rubbish that you might want to say
Aria kept trembling. She has always informed her friends about how lucky she was to be working at the Royal's Hotel. It was a privilege for her to be working with the royal families.Where would she start from? Won't she be mocked? Though she had hoped to work in her late father's company, the pay was lesser than that of the Royal's Hotel.But is that possible for Adam to be the prince? How on earth is that even possible? She immediately unlocked her phone and started Browsing for his pictures. As the prince, his pictures were supposed to be on the internet but she was wrong.All she found was his name, Prince Adam Anderson but there was no picture of him.There are numerous people with the same names right?Adam must be joking! He can't be! He only did that to scare her. A prince would stoop so low to be walking as a delivery man and still ask for his Salary after humiliation.What about the car and the driver? Well, that might just be a plan.Aria composers herself,took a deep brea
After making the call to the unknown number, Felix zoomed off from Clara's house. There was no essence of waiting when they wouldn't come outside to see him and the door was locked, which prevented him from going inside the house.On entering his father's house, he noticed his father's car. He was shocked but managed to hide it.His father wasn't the type that paid him a visit, else it was a business related meeting.What is happening? Why can't he wait for me in the office like he always did? The last time that he came to my house didn't end well, why is he here again?Those were the questions that were running inside his head.He saw his father's driver, who greeted him with a bow but Felix ignored him and went inside. It wasn't a new thing that his father knew the passcode to his apartment.He opened the door to see his father sipping from the glass of wine he was holding and his face was cold as usual."I wasn't expecting you to be here" Felix uttered, sitting opposite his father.
Adam was inside his room with his three dressing servants that were in charge of his dressing when Rohan knocked then entered the room.Adam was already dressed for the reunion. He was glaring at himself inside the mirror. Both his highschool and college days were boring. He studied outside the country, where no one knew his identity and he was not allowed to tell about him. That was how his father raised him, Adam and his step sister, Sofia."It's almost ready,'' Rohan announced and used his finger to signal to the three servants to vacate the room.Adam kept staring at himself. He took a deep breath before turning to face Rohan."How do I look?" He asked."Perfect, your highness" Rohan truthfully answered.Adam smirked before he proceeded in removing his suit jacket, leaving him with the white t-shirt."I think this is good enough" He uttered, smiling satisfyingly about his dressing."It's still good but it would have been perfect if you wore your suit jacket back" Rohan advised."R
Adam Anderson stared at the mirror as he was done dressing for work. He discharged the three men earlier after he was dressed. Though, he tried to let them know that he can dress for himself and he wasn't used to people dressing for him but those men wouldn't wanna lose their jobs. As the prince and the next king of the country, he had to learn how to make use of some things.Like he wanted, he was dressed in his jean trouser and a polo shirt coupled with a pair of sneakers. Though they cost a fortune , he loved them more than suits and other corporate dresses."Your highness, isn't it too early? Your arrival time was scheduled to hold at ten am but it isn't eight am in the morning" Rohan lamented."Rohan, I thought we had an agreement about this last night? I wasn't going as the CEO but as a worker of the company. Find me a small office near to yours, probably as your PA or assistant secretary and that would be fine. I've learnt more about the country people but nothing about my empl
Rohan walked inside the office with his hands pocketed inside his trousers. He had been listening to the discussion between Sam and his team members from the entrance and he couldn't help but to giggle at the discussion."Mr. Rohan, you are welcome" Sam immediately faked a smile and welcomed him. He took his seat beside his master, Adam."As a team leader, isn't it your duty to carry all the team members along with your discussion? How dare you make the decision all by yourself? Moreso, you have no right to talk about their family background. Since you are all working here, you suppose to be one, irrespective of your background" he cautioned and Sam understood what he meant.Sam immediately apologized to Adam and Karina. He knew not doing that might earn him a demotion.After the meeting ended, they all went back to their offices, including Rohan.It was almost closing time when they returned back to their office. Adam was arranging his backpack when Sam called him."You need to deliv
Five years laterAt an amusement park, Kids were playing, rejoicing and having fun."Aunty" , a little girl of three years called Kayla , arrived at the place."Oh my little pumpkin" Kayla rushed to meet her and bowed to her level."I have been looking for the but I was told that you went to your hospital" she said in her tiny tone "Yes, I had an emergency to attend to buy right now, I'm back to you. Let's have fun" Kayla uttered as she tickled the little girl while they both laughed.As they were walking hand in hand to another section of the park, the girl mistakenly collided with another girl of her age and she fell down."Oh no" Aria, the little girl rushed to carry the girl up, despite that she couldn't.Checking her body, she had a wound on her leg.Like a drama, princess Aria started crying"Are you okay? Please forgive me. I had no idea that you were going to fall down. I was only following my auntie without focusing on the road" she said, amidst her tears.Kayla was stunned.
Tears couldn't stop flowing as Aria and Nanny bodies were being buried under the ground.Ava and Clara felt like following her. Truly, life has not been unfair to them for the past few months but that doesn't mean that Aria should leave the world ultimately.Pastor Abel finished his sermon and the graves were cemented.Adam gave whoever wanted to witness the burial a chance to come there.They were all in black with Adam carrying Nanny's picture closer to his chest while Karina was the one carrying Aria's picture.They also made sure to bury them with expensive caskets.After the burial, They all left the cemetery and went back home.In the evening of the same day, the cry died down.Karina sent for Clara and Ava. They were no longer the disobedient type since they have lost Aria and moreso, They have been stopped from working since it was a grieving time for them.They entered the living room and bowed to greet her "Have your seat" she instructed.They glared at each other before fi
Nanny was rushed outside the hall , Drake was already waiting inside the driver seat. "Nanny, please hold it there. You will be fine, I promise" Adam Kept uttering as he carried the nanny to the back seat of the car. Drake started driving and zoomed off immediately. It was five minutes to get to the hospital when Nanny started coughing."Sorry nanny, just a few minutes more" Adam pledged and felt Nanny's Hand on his cheek."I'm proud to be called your nanny. I didn't have a chance to give birth to my own children but raising you and your sister is the best gift I've ever had. You made me feel the joy of a mother and I can't be more happier to die In your hands, knowing you are going to give me a befitting burial. I love you, Adam, "she said."It's okay, I've heard you. just keep quiet, we will soon arrive at the hospital '' Adam Assured and pecked her cheek.Nanny felt happy . She smiled then took her last breath..Her hands dropped from Adam's cheek and her eyes were closed."Are y
"Karina?" He screamed as his eyes were shooting daggers. He found it hard to believe that his lovely wife, aware of how much he loves kids, will terminate her pregnancy for her memory recovery.Fortunately for Karina, Sofia was the only person with her.They were both shocked and immediately rose on their feets."How dare you? How dare you terminate my pregnancy? Is there anything that you are not telling me? I asked this same question earlier after reading the letter that was left to you by Aria but you chose to keep mute. Why on earth would you flush out the baby without my knowledge?" He Shouted again"What?" Sofia also screamed.She was amazed and was heartbroken by what Karina did.Karina was embarrassed, she started glaring at the ground.She didn't know what to say because the glares on Adam were enough to deal with her. She became scared."Why would you do that?" Sofia asked.Karina tried to open her mouth to talk but none was coming. She was scared to the extent of now knowin
He kept walking faster , not bothered to answer his father that was calling him until he realized that he had no single penny on him.Visiting Sofia will eventually cost him transportation fare and he had none."Fuck!" He cursed as he paused walking.Eyes were on him but he didn't care. His white shirt was already dirty, likewise his trouser and his shoes."What the heck is wrong with you? Do you want to watch me die? Don't you know that you are going to give me a heart attack at this rate and I might end up dying" Francis shouted at him"I'm sorry father, thinking of going to Africa suddenly annoys me and I couldn't help but to get angry but do you have cash with you? I need to visit Sofia for the last time" Felix answered and requested."Have you gone nuts? Why would you want to pay her a visit? Ain't you ashamed of yourself? Do you think that she is going to spare you again! She is no longer the princess that you know. She became more powerful last night after getting married to Pr
Everywhere was deadly silent as Aria took her last breath. Fortunately, the party was already coming to the end when it happened, else it would have affected the whole ceremony.The moment she drank the drinks and when she took her last breath was not more than Two minutes, meaning if Karina had taken the drinks, then she would have also died instantly.Adam signaled to Rohan to carry her corpses to the hospital for autopsy, which was done almost immediately.Karina was sweating. Tears were flowing on her cheeks but she couldn't open her mouth to cry out."Did someone just die on her behalf? What would have happened to her if she took the drinks? Does Aria know about the poison? If at all she is aware about the poison, why didn't she take it away instead of drinking it? By doing that, it would have saved their lives and she would have believed whatever explanation that was made".Due to what happened, Adam has to make an announcement that the wedding party is over but a welcome party
Inside his room, staring at the neatly ironed suit. Andrew Kept smirking, thinking of a way to execute his next plan. "Sir, we have been waiting for your approval regarding the kidnapping of the groom. Should we go ahead with it?" A man entered and asked. "No, not again. I might think Rohan has my back but he might end up disappointing me. Thinking of it, I would like to kill two birds with one stone. I have got another back up plan which remains a secret for now. Rohan's loyalty will be tested, before I will be able to put my trust in him. Not only would I ruin Adam, I'll also use his wife to hunt Lucas then throw Sofia into forever agony. Let's wait and see" he replied, then chuckled. The man bowed slightly before he finally exited the room. "I'm the bride's uncle. She needs to get one of the best gifts from me, doesn't it?" He talked to himself then suddenly bursted into a devilish laughter. ★★★ At the court, very early that morning. Putting on normal house dress and without a
"Ain't you gonna say something? You have been quiet since prince Adam left here" Pearl voiced out after noticing the silence in the room after her husband had a dialogue with the prince."Will you leave the country for a while? Pending when I'll be able to sort out this problem?" Rohan asked.For the first time, he was a bit afraid. Why wouldn't he be afraid when he was concerned about the safety of his wife and unborn kid."Wait, are you telling me this cos Andrew threatened you, using me? Is that why you are scared? I knew you to be a courageous man, with your life attached to Prince Adam. Look at how far we have gone with his help but you are now thinking of betraying him for his uncle that didn't know of our existence till he needed your help! Don't forget that you told me how king Anderson picked you up from the slum, raised you and also provided a befitting education for you! If you are going to be an ingrate, then I'll be left with no other option than to divorce you, so that y
Waiting outside the house, walking to and fro with black eyelids and swollen face.She supposed to be sleeping at that time but couldn't take a wink of sleep since she sent Aria an an delegate errand She picked her phone, wanting to call but stopped on a second thought."What if the phone call gets her distracted? What if a passer-by heard the sound of her phone ringing?" She thought then stopped the intention of calling her Checking her time, it was some minutes to five In the morning and Adam would wake up anytime soon.What will happen to her if he finds out that the key to the secret room is missing? Won't it be an issue ?She yawned loudly but wouldn't dare to sleep After another few minutes, Aria rushed inside, painting heavily."My princess," she called in a faint voice."Come inside" Karina was glad to see her back and took her into her personal room, not the one she was sharing with Adam.She gave Aria a bottle of water, and she gulped them all at once."It wasn't easy but
