Karina was shocked and dumbfounded at the same time. Seeing Adam was enough to shock her and falling on him was another one.They were both silent for seven seconds before Adam later voiced out."Ain't you gonna get up off me?" He asked, hissing in pain."Oh!" Karina immediately stood up but to her utmost surprise, Adam was still laying on the floor."Hey! You need to help me up!" Adam yelled."And why would I do so? For what reason would I help you?" She shouted back at him."Is that what are you going to use to reply to my kindness? For goodness's sake! I just saved your life, I just saved you from accident!" He yelled again."Did I ask you? Why are you always helping me, making me indebted to you? Why? Why? Why? It hurts, you know? Moreso, why did you follow me? Ain't you supposed to be at work?" She rushed her questions.Adam opened his mouth to talk but words failed him. He didn't prepare for that and from the way she was sounding, pains were apparent from her voice."Hey! I didn
"Why are you guys crying like I'm dead? Is it more than the section that got burnt?"They all went silent when the voice came from behind. They were all shocked to hear the voice.Adam immediately turned back and was more amazed to see his father, walking with the help of his walking stick, approaching them.He glared at the burnt remains again but nobody could identify the identity of the person."Thought you said none of the palace workers are missing?" He asked Rohan who nodded yes. He was also surprised."Mr. Anderson" Karina called,ran to hug him and cried on his shoulder."Oh my god! I think I'll finally die from this embrace" The king mumbled but reciprocated to her hug.Faye and Elena were surprised to see the chemistry between Karina and the King."Hope you haven't called Sofia? I don't want her to come here and create scenes. You are fully aware of her temper" Adam asked Rohan again, more in a whispering tone."Not yet," he answered."Mr. Anderson. I thought the remains be
She entered the room and froze immediately."What happened?" King Anderson asked, noticing her change of mood."Where is the person that was communicating with you?" She retorted."Person? Communication? I've been the only one since morning" King Anderson explained."Hell no! I'm sure that I heard some voices as I was about to enter. Am I hallucinating?" She asked, wondering what happened to the voices that she was hearing.She sat on the sofa that Adam was seated on before.She began using her nose to sniff the sofa."This smells like Adam. Was he here?" She questioned."Karina. I was the only one here. I just finished conversing with someone on the phone before you entered. The smell might be from lilly. She was the only person that had entered this room today" he tried to explain but Karina wasn't convinced.She stood up, trying to trace the scents and she had almost reached the curtain, where Adam and Rohan were hiding when the King yelled at her."What are you trying to do? Are y
King Anderson was inside his room, staring at some old pictures.Among the old pictures was a young woman and a little girl. The woman seemed to be the older version of Karina while the girl was the small Karina.Another picture of Adam and Karina playing inside the palace when they were young was also with him."You have started staring at these pictures again?" Lilly asked, as she brought a cup of tea for King Anderson."I can't seem to take my mind off it. I've been gathering some courage to tell her and explain things to her but I don't know why it's difficult. I think that she will not forgive me for what I did and I'm scared Adam will reap what I sow" King Anderson said.One could sense worries in his voice."My king, it's not too late. You can still tell her now and I'm sure that she is gonna forgive you, even if it takes time. I can see the bond between her and Prince Adam. I am scared that this might later bring separation to them in the future when You are no more. You need
"Adam" Karina was already getting scared but Adam held her hand and they aty went to the VIP section of the mall Not only clothes but shoes and other clothing accessories were all there.The lady started by checking out some of the latest gowns. Well, she was initially there to go shopping."Is this all what you get? Why not the VVIP section?" Adam asked."Hey! You don't need to embarrass yourself more. Let's stick to this side" The lady warned and continued with her shopping.Adam didn't pick anything for himself, he was searching for expensive things to buy for Karina.When they were too beautiful, he got confused. He said ; "hey! Park all this gown in this line"He called one of the attendants."What!" They all exclaimed, including Manager and Karina.The line that he pointed at has more than twelves different gowns."Move closer, babe," he said to Karina, who dragged her feet closer to him."I don't have money for this. You are going to put us into trouble" Karina whispered to hi
"Isn't that a black card?" She said with surprise noticeable from her voice.She walked closer to Adam but he immediately hid it."Let's talk outside" he uttered, pulling her by her hands while the attendant took the shopping bags to the car.With the help of the driver, the bags were neatly arranged."Adam, I asked you a question. Where did you get the card from and where did you get money to pay for the shopping? I know how much you are earning and moreso, you are yet to get your first pay. I'm going crazy please, explain" she requested and was already restless."Karina. The card isn't mine. There is a man that once worked for as a Gardner and he was somehow close to the Royal family. I still use to go to his house whenever he sends me there and as a matter of fact, he isn't currently in the country. He trusts me like he trusts his son and he gives me the card to be used whenever I need to get something to his house " he fabricated, lying smoothly."Really?" Karina inquired with lit
After noticing that she was already deep in sleeping, Adam tiptoed out of the room. His eyes were red as a result of the anger. If look could burn, everything he sighted would have turned into ashes.He met Rohan, waiting for him in the living room, sitting with his legs crossed.Rohan stood on his feets when he heard Adam's walking steps."How is she?" He asked."Currently in the dream land. I hope she will not wake up till I'm done cos she is scared of being alone" Adam answered."I still need to know what exactly happened and how it happened because the Driver took her home," Adam added."Two umbrellas that belong to the palace were seen inside the uncompleted building. I guessed she was worried about you drenched by rain and was trying to bring an umbrella to you. She might have noticed your wallet was left inside the car and was worried about you getting home safely " Rohan guessed."Silly girl. She doesn't know what she should be worried about " Adam scoffed and led the way.The
"Blood?" He repeated the same thing again, staring at his shirt with his brain thinking on what to say."I might have stained you when you rescued me. Thought it would have dried but I guess the weather is crazy" Karina added and Adam couldn't help but to rejoice inwardly cos at that moment, he had lost words and things might fall apart."Ain't you hungry? I made you some snacks since that's the only thing that I was able to make with the few ingredients at home" he asked, standing up to be on the way to the kitchen."I'm watching my weight. late night foods do give a big tummy and I'm trying to prevent that from happening at all cost" she replied and before Adam could say other things, her tummy made some grumpy sound, indicating that it needed to be fed."I think I should go and bring you the snacks, so that you can use pain relief drugs, '' Adam uttered as he embarked on the short journey to the kitchen."This is some minutes past one in the morning, " Karina mumbled.★★★The follo
