Adam was busy till he lost track of time and forgot to check on his wife after the two hours that he promised.To crown it all,she forgot her phone inside the car, making it difficult to reach out to him.Adam drove back to the sports house. He found Karina lying on the floor, looking exhausted and worn out, with bottled water."Hey!" He called."Finally! You promised two hours and came back after five hours? You really have no conscience" Karina replied, more in a joking manner."I apologize. I had to deal with some company issues and lost track of time. How was the training?" He explained, then questioned."As you can see, Mark didn't take it easy on me. I am tired and need to rest" Karina replied and Mark also showed up to welcome Adam back.Adam thanked him, promising to bring Karina back again and went home with Karina."At this rate, I might be qualified to represent the country at the international tournament" she jokingly Said."Babe," Adam called."Hun""If I may ask, do you
Four cars Including the one that Adam and his wife were inside drove in and parked in front of the company.Two guards with Rohan inclusive rushed to open the door for the couple as they got down from the car.Adam, who was looking cute in his white tuxedo, walked hand in hand with Karina.Both entered the company and the executives members were already on the queue to welcome them.Reporters were flashing camera lights on them, making Karina feel uneasy.She slowly removed her hand from Adams.Adam was putting on a serious face, which Karina was also scared of.There is no more in hiding his identity. He has prepared to introduce himself and his wife to the business world as the heir and the latest CEO to the Royal companies."You are welcome, your highness" one of the executives greeted, bowing slightly for him."Let's go inside," Adam answered.His voice was hoarse and full of authority.Karina had to take a glimpse to check if it was indeed her husband that was talking.They arriv
"What the heck did I just hear now? My brother's head? Even if I tell you how much I loathe my brother, doesn't that give your mom the go ahead to request for his head? I guess this isn't gonna work out cos your mother is being selfish! Forget about me, forget about the contract and forget about whatever connection you wanna make with the royal family!" Sofia yelled, picked her bag and stormed out of the restaurant, where she was having a val date with Felix."Oh my goodness! Why is mom like this? Why would she be requesting for such? Had I known that Sofia would be eavesdropping my conversation with mom, I would have waited till I get home before calling her. Fuck! I need this contract!" He kept screaming inside his head and was obviously frustrated by his mother altitude.He was about to leave the place when Angela came inside, looking stunning in her red gown and white purse."Hey Baby!" She greeted, smiling like a sheep."Oh! This is it! It's your plan with mom right? I bet you wi
Karina woke up dressed for work. The previous night event was still playing inside her brain.Not only did she get a car but also a gun?Which guy presents a gun for his wife as a Valentine gift? Who? Except the mighty Adam Anderson."Gosh! I can't believe he informed me about going to learn how to use guns! I mean is it a must? He has assigned Ryan to be following me around. Must I learn how to use a gun? What if I shot someone to death? That is gonna make me a criminal right? I never see this side of Adam" she assumed as she was dressing for the day.She has to go to work for a brief meeting as the director of the company.She walked outside the house after taking her breakfast, not without hissing and lamenting countless times to Aria.She didn't know how she was able to take revenge on Aria. Maybe it was because Adam was Involved.She got outside to see Ryan, standing beside her new car.She didn't know when she started smiling because the car gave her numerous joy."Wow! So this
"What happened to your face?" Ava asked her daughter, Clara as she entered the waiting room to visit her mother."Is it obvious?" Clara retorted."Hun. Were you slapped?" Asa inquired with her glance fixed on the cheek."Gosh! I'll surely squeeze her and make sure to send her out of the palace. It's just a matter of time" she mumbled to herself."Mom, I went to the Royal company today to meet Adam but unfortunately, I met his crazy and nasty wife, who slapped me because I addressed Adam by his name. Imagine the gut and madness! Who the hell did she think she is!" She ranted, with her Voice raised up but Her mother quickly reminded her that they were still inside the station."Don't worry, it's gonna be well" her mother assured."By the way, what do you think we can do? I need to get out of here. It's becoming uncomfortable. Maybe you should go to the palace and plead to him. Who knows? You might be lucky " her mother suggested but with a glare from her, she immediately shut up her mou
After a hectic working day, Prince Adam and his wife were returning home to rest for the night when Karina raised a topic concerning Clara."Your ex wife came today and acted like a boss lady. She was practically looking for you but trust me, I gave her what suited her silly attitudes" She said."Really? Well you don't need to continue telling me about her because you would have to deal with her sooner or later. With what happened between you guys today, I guess it would start anytime from now" Adam answered her, not letting her know that Rohan sent him the video of what happened."I don't understand. What do you mean by "I'll need to deal with her." She asked,seeming to be confused by what Adam said.Adam faced her, making their four eyes meet."Karina, do you trust me?" He firstly asked, making Karina's heart start accelerating more than before."Sure, I do," she murmured in response."Clara will try to fight you but I'll bring her down for you to punish to your satisfaction. How?
After waking up the following morning. Felix noticed he was inside his room, which was given to him in his father's house.The room that he had stayed in before he later moved out on his twenty-fifth birthday, to his father's other house, which was given to him.All he recalled was having beers with his father and the advice that he gave to him.He couldn't remember how he was taken to his room.Still wondering, his father opened the door to tell him to come downstairs to eat.Felix went to the bathroom, cleaned himself before he went to join his father for breakfast."Thank you, dad. And I'm sorry for behaving rude to you the other time" he murmured in between eating."I was being strict for your sake, not that I don't cherish you" Francis answered his son."Moreso, that Angela that your mother betrothed to you is forbidden for you to date, talkless of marrying. No matter what happens in the future, you must not share any romantic feelings together. Make sure you let that stick to yo
"Where is my mom?" Clara asked as she rushed into the restaurant."Your mom? Who is your mom?" The security guard at the entrance retorted, glaring at her."Oh sorry, I got a call that my mom is here because she couldn't pay for the food that she ate. That's why I was rushing to come over" Clara answered, explaining what happened."Oh, you mean that woman? Enter and ask the waitress. She should be in the kitchen, Washing plates by now" the guard ordered."What!" Clara exclaimed, then she rushed inside.The waitress took her to the kitchen and she was dumbfounded with the sight in front of her Ava was sobbing as she was washing the plate."Why would you do this to her? Didn't I tell you that I was coming? Why can't you wait till I get here and pay your goddamn money!" Clara yelled at her."Stop yelling miss. Did you know the gravity of the offense that your mother committed? How on earth would she seek for the most expensive food on the list, along with Italian wine when she has no ce
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
