"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
It was D-Day! The day of judgment for the contestants. The past few weeks have been smooth with Adam and Karina's friendship going smoothly.Rohan and Nanny were in the living room, along with the remaining three contestants.They all knew that the hall for coronation, to welcome the Prince's wife along with the Prince's welcome party had been organized and all other things were all In order.The coronation party was to happen two days after the judgment day, according to King's Anderson wishes."Shall we start?" Rohan asked and the Ladies gave him the go ahead to start"Wait!" Nanny stopped him."Is there anyone of you that wants to say something regarding this contest Before the final judgment? Feel free to say it now. Karina? Faye? Elena? You guys should speak to you because in the next two days, One of you will become the Prince's wife and the future queen of this country" she added.The ladies went mute. They didn't know if they should speak or not.After a few minutes of silence
Aria was dragging her bags from her room, to the living room."I can't believe this!" Clara scoffed, still amazed by what her sister Aria was doing."It's left to you to believe or not. What I know is that I've been employed into the palace and was asked to resume today. Even, I've signed a contract deal which means nothing would make me leave my work for the first five years" Aria giggled at her sister.She felt excited that she had gotten her dream job, after leaving the hotel."What's the nature of your job? At least, we need to know. Also, are we allowed to pay you a visit at the palace? You know when I've been longing to enter the palace" her mother also asked."Mom, I'll ask more when I get there and give you the feedback. I just know that prince Adam will never give me some god-damn work to do. He is fully aware of my qualifications and the characteristics that I possess. Moreso, I spent three weeks at culinary school, learning to be the best version of myself. I bet that I'll
She checked the time as she rushed out of the house, realizing that she had only fifteen minutes to get herself a bucket of water and take a shower.She got outside, took a glance at the environment but there were no traces of where to fetch the water.There were some big iron tanks but the water was connected directly to each bathroom, restroom, kitchen, dining room and all other places but there was no place outside for the water.While standing up there, still confused, she saw two maids that were walking towards her direction."Excuse me" she stopped them and approached them."Where can I get a bucket of water?" She asked.Both stared at each other and were confused."Water? Who are you and why do you need water?" One of them questioned."I'm Aria, miss Karina's new and personal maid"Addressing herself as Karina's personal maid sounded bitter on her tongue but she couldn't introduce herself better. Well, that was her new post, given by Prince Adam Macmillan Anderson."Oh! Water
After Karina left her father's apartment and stopped the cab, she hopped in, giving the driver her home address.After thirty five minutes of journey, the driver parked in front of the tall building, which Karina's apartment was inside.She paid and the driver zoomed off.She was about to enter the building when another car drove to her side and two men got down."Hey!" The first man greeted Karina and before she could reply, the second man covered her nose with a white handkerchief.She waggled her leg as she was bundled inside the car and the darkness took over.****"Rohan, send Karina's driver to go to her house. She wants to pack some tangible things of her belongings and seek privacy. By the time the driver will arrive there, she would have been done and would need a driver. Instead of taking a cab, her personal driver would bring her back to the palace" Adam instructed Rohan as he was about to leave for his father's quarter."Yes, your highness" Rohan answered and did as told.
Seeing the necklace shocked him to the bone. He hurriedly walked to her and grabbed the necklace, reconfirming it again."Where did you get this?" Adam asked Joyce."What do you mean by that? You have no right to ask me such a stupid question!" She retorted but started getting scared when she saw Adam's eyes were burning in rage."Where did you get it?" Adam asked again, yelling this time around.Joyce was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say again.When Adam saw that she wasn't going to speak up soon, he dragged her into her father's office."Let go of my hand. You are hurting me" she was pleading but Adam paid deaf ears to her plea."What's going on here?" Joyce's father questioned as Adam banged his office door open."Your daughter is currently doing what is gonna bring your family down and will make you rot in jail" Adam answered as he let go of her hands."Young Man! Watch your words,else I'll get you arrested! What do you mean by that?" Joyce's father asked again and at that tim
The door opened, revealing Adam, who was burning in rage. His eyes were bloody and were shooting daggers at his prey."A-A-Adam" Karina called, smiling before she lost consciousness.To think she smiled immediately he entered meant a lot to Adam.To him, she knew he was going to show up for her.With the way she smiled, it means he has hope that Adam would come if he saw the messages.Then he couldn't recall Adam's number, so he sent the message to her sister, Kayla, begging her to forward the number to Adam for tracking.Kayla was already sleeping when the message entered and she couldn't check it in time. It was when she woke up to dress for school, she saw the messages.Panicking, she immediately sent them to Adam, Including the number of the sender.He stared at Karina's unconscious body, seeing her half naked made him lose it."Darren!" He yelled as he grabbed, the guy that wanted to rape Karina, the one that seeked for her Abduction, Darren by his throat and smashed his head aga
Felix was enchanted. He felt numb in his body and couldn't stop anything at that moment."Ain't you gonna say anything?" Sofia asked, rubbing his chest with her right index finger."I-i-i" he opened his mouth to talk but stuttered instead, words failed him."What? I can't hear you. Don't you wanna be my boyfriend? Why? Ain't I beautiful enough for you? In addition, I'm also rich and known to be a princess. don't you want the privilege to be the king's son in law, if we eventually married?" She seductively questioned."Ehm.." Felix swallowed the Saliva, still lost In Sofia's beauty."Gosh! I can't believe that I'm experiencing one sided love" Sofia angrily hissed and was about to leave when Felix pulled her back, planting a soft kiss on her lips."I was taken away and lost in your beauty. It's my first time experiencing a lady proposing love to me, which makes me stunned. I'll be your boyfriend " he replied and Sofia grinned, feeling excited."Let's go to the mall and have dinner after
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
