Andrew's feeling when he was told the DNA result of Serah and his own was zero percent compatible was disappointment and dumbfounded, and his disappointment showed on his face as he wobbled out of the laboratory. He had strongly believed the baby was his own and being told otherwise was quite unexpected. Having no other proof to claim his baby, Andrew gave up on his pursuit. Yet still, he harbours some doubt about the authenticity of the result. After dinner one weekend, the pair were cuddling inside Andrew's room when he asked. "What did you think about Jackson's offer?" "I'm against it. Why should we stay in someone's house when we have a place as big as this? Let's stay here until your dad changes his mind." He merely asked for courtesy's sake. He had instructed Marian to buy a nice and comfortable duplex beside the shore, and the place was furnished with the latest gadgets and home appliances. This is the place he will be staying during his remaining days in Arkansas
After the burial of Elizabethan, Andrew and his sisters were invited to the royal palace for dinner. As expected, the place was filled to the brim with important personalities who came to visit his royal highness and to commiserate with him on the loss of his son. It was very late in the night before they had the chance to enter the main palace. Sitting on the throne is an old man with fluffy white hair, and his face is filled with a welcoming smile as he announces, "I am sorry for keeping you all waiting. I have to attend to everyone who left their business to check on me." He stood up, spread his arms, and with a speed and agility that is surprising for his age, he hurried towards his son, daughter and grandchildren, and held all of them in a tight embrace. "Please come and sit while dinner is served." He turned towards Andrew and his sister and let out, "I am so sorry for the loss of your dad," He paused his breath, inhaled louder and said in a voice filled with sadnes
Andrew had two reasons to believe the king was murdered. First was his declaration to enthrone him, and this was followed by a secret meeting that took place between him and the king before his death. He was deep in thought, as he gazed at the glass of wine in his hand, when a palace maid knocked on his door, marched in, bowed and mumbled, "His royal highness requires your presence, my prince." "I will be with him shortly. " The King was sitting on the throne, and in attendance were the king's adviser and the lord chamberlain. "I'm officially introducing my grandson and the heir to the throne," The king muttered with a glittering face. The Lord Chamberlain wrote something down in the brown-cover book on the table in front of him, smiled, nodded his head and asked, "Which name should I put on this decree? I learnt that our king-to-be is named O'Connor and not Elizabethan." "You were all aware of the circumstances that led to his changed name, weren't you? He will change hi
A few weeks later, Andrew was summoned to the palace by the chiefs and the kingmakers. And he was disgusted at the sight of his uncle and his son. Twelve chiefs and the lord chamberlain circled the empty throne, while other lower-rank chiefs sat opposite them. All eyes peeked at Andrew as he walked inside, and sat beside his uncle. . "It's been three months since the death of our king, and it's high time we have another king on the throne," the chief priest announced. He was an aged, tall and chubby man with fluffy white hair and overgrown beard. "As mandated by the late King, Prince Andrew is the legal heir to the throne. We are here today to choose a day for his coronation and to discuss other relevant things," the lord chamberlain let out. "I beg your pardon, chief. Andrew is no longer part of the royal family and is not legally capable of ruling as a king. Have you all forgotten that my brother disowned him some days before his death?""Yes, we are all aware," The lord chamber
After searching for Andrea for some months, Andrew gave up and accepted the wishes of the chiefs and kingmakers. Many ladies of aristocratic families were introduced to Andrew, but none seemed to be up to his taste. Apart from Andrea, only Simpson wakes the passion in him. One day under the influence of alcohol, he spent a night with Jasmine, and that was the beginning of a healthy relationship between them. Months later, the pair got married. But it was a one-sided love. Andrew never loved her, and neither did he pretend to. It was a marriage of necessity. Andrea gave birth to a girl but lost her at childbirth. She was sad and depressed but picked up her life when she heard that Andrew had gotten married to Jasmine. In her new city, she fell in love with a rich widower, and both got married immediately and had a male child. A year later, the widower died, and Andrea and her son inherited all his wealth, sold his estate, and then moved back to Arkansas City as a billionaire. Whe
Three months later. Andrew was seen walking to and fro in his palace, and the grimace on his face showed his state of mind. His body shivered, and his eyes were cloudy. A red line shows around his eyes and a patch appears on his forehead. After yawning twice, he suddenly whirled towards the men at his back and asked, "Are you telling me she had grown wings and disappeared from the surface of the earth? I have spent millions of dollars to look for her, sent people from one end of the earth to the other side, and the result is always negative." "I'm sorry, my lord," A tall man with a large scar in between his eyes answered back. " I guess she didn't want to be found and had been evading us." "We heard she was in Orlando, and we immediately flew down there. But she must have heard of our arrival and disappeared before we reached her hideout." Andrew's frown deepened as he stared at the men on his front. "Why am I unfortunate to be surrounded by letdown people? I want a result and no
The sun was already glaring in the sky when Andrew woke up. After having a light meal, he decided to visit his ladies, at least for courtesy's sake. They came from far and near, and sending them home without attending to them seemed very insulting. They were put separately in different rooms, and Andrew knocked on the first door and stepped inside.A tall and shapely lady with a beautiful face stood up from the bed and walked towards him. "Good morning, my lord. I have been waiting for you since yesterday and I am glad that you finally come to visit me."The lady hugged him seductively and dragged him towards the bed in the middle of the room. But Andrew gently removed his hand and then motioned to the lady to sit down, while he sat beside her. "What is your name?""Janet, my lord.""And your profession?" "I'm a barrister and I'm working with a private company." Janet placed her palm on Andrew's chin to caress him, but Andrew held her hand, frowned and shook his head. "Take it eas
After their first night together, Andrew and Jasmine seemed inseparable. Though their relationship can be termed one-sided, Jasmine appeared to be happy and satisfied, and it looked like Andrew had at last forgotten his lost love. Since the royal chief won't stop disturbing him from getting married, Andrew has no choice but to propose to the excited Jasmine who immediately agrees. In truth, when the desirable is not available, the available becomes the desirable. Six months later, the pair decided to tie the knot. Their marriage was the talk of the town, and a week was declared a public holiday to celebrate the important occasions. During the royal banquet, Andrew was seated among his family and friends in a deep conversation when he noticed a silhouette of a woman who resembled Andrea. "Excuse me, please," Andrew muttered, standing up from his throne and hurried towards the outgoing lady. He ignored all the well-wishers who called out to wish him a happy married life and smiled
