To celebrate his twenty years on the throne, Andrew's grandfather hosts a party inside his palace.

Constructed in the early eighties, the four thousand-and-fifty rooms sit over forty thousand square meters.

Looking lost among the hundred people who came to grace the occasion in the palace, Andrew led the way and he was followed by Andrea.

"Let's find somewhere to sit under the shade of those trees," Andrew let out.

He was trying to avoid the expected fussing that would come after his grandfather introduced him as the crown prince.

Since the place was crammed with visitors from far and near, locating an empty seat took a while.

"Over there, Andrew. Let's sit under those apple trees."

"Get us glasses of champagne," Andrew called out to a smartly dressed lady in a yellow polo shirt and pants.

"Will you love to live here when you are crowned as the king, or you planned to build your palace?" Andrea asked after sipping her wine.

Since O'Connor's villa was handed back to them, the

    Teddy and his sons are causing lots of harm with their illicit drugs. It had reached the stage where young people were getting abducted and then used as their lab rats. Some died and were never seen, while those who returned were disoriented for a while, and then committed suicide when they were denied the use of whatever substance they were exposed to. In a few days, lots of lunatics filled the streets of Townley Island. They chose the island for their nefarious affair because they were isolated, smaller in population and protected by weak authority. "Why don't you report to the police? They are in the best position to bring them to justice." "We do, your highness. But the cops are forbidden from entering the royal forest. And that is where their factory is located." "There should be one or two witnesses willing to testify against them. The court will grant the cops the warrant to search the forest," Andrew let out with a bewildered look. "Did you think we haven't tried everyth

    Their flight was uneventful, and they arrived at Arkansas City by midday. After having a light dinner at The Presidential Hotel, they boarded a taxi that took them to the state prison. "How are you, Stevenson? Have you confessed where you kept my money?" Older, paler and thinner as a result of being locked up, Stevenson stared at his visitor with a hateful countenance, and then let out, "I saved your money into an anonymous account. My sentence for fraud is just a few years. I would rather go to jail and then enjoy the wealth whenever I am free than give it back to you." "What if you don't get out of the prison alive?" Andrew asked with a scowl. "You seemed to be underestimating my power as a prince of this city. It will only cost me a few dollars to get rid of you." "And then say bye to her money." "Am now a rich man, Stevenson. For your information, I was the one who bought the house from you, and I remembered the account we transferred the money to. Did you still think it woul

I want all the O'Connor's extended family to know that you are no more the loathsome son-in-law," Isabella announced. She chooses Andrew's clothes, shoes and jewellery. Dressed in a blue multi-million dollar suit with white pants, and blue suede shoes, Andrew looked as handsome as the devil as he hopped into their family chopper. "Prepare five racy cars for us," Isabella informed Simpson over the phone Their racy cars consist of a Lamborghini, a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley and a Hummer Limousine, and all eyes gawked at them when they drove into the O'Connor's villa. The walkway was filled with canopies to shed their visitors from the blazing sun and music boomed from the speakers arranged close by. "This looks like a carnival," Miranda announced. "Yes, Andrew answered back. They were celebrating having their villa back as well." Miranda nodded h

    Back at the Presidential Hotel, Isabella held Raul's hand and dragged him into the restaurant section of the hotel. "Let's grab a light dinner before booking a room." Since she had warned Andrew and Miranda to stay away from her, the pair sat on the chairs some distance away and stared at their sister. "Tea or coffee?" A young man in a white suit and blue apron asked. Isabella ticked some numbers on the menu list in her front and said, "Bring me a cup of coffee with lots of milk and sugar." "Coffee for me too. And I will have whatever my sweetheart ordered." Raul wished he hadn't gotten a lady pregnant. Sitting in front of him is a rich lady from a wealthy home. 'I will ask Roana to abort the pregnancy. I can't leave someone like Isabella and settle down with a poor lady from a miserable home.' "Hello, my love. I hope you are enjoying this serenity?" Raul smiled back in reply. Of course, he is enjoying the splashy large hall with an industrial air conditioning machine. Bein

    Inside the Arkansas prison cell, Raul looked dishevelled as he peeked into Simpson's eyes. Simpson glared at the shivering man in front of her and asked, "Who will believe we will be meeting again? The world is indeed a small place." Five years ago, Simpson met a young man and they became lovers. Deceived by the man's sweet talk, she immediately falls in love with him. "I need three million dollars to buy crude oil from West Africa" the man informed her, after long and tiring lovemaking. "How much did you have in savings?" "Two million dollars. The total cost is five million dollars." "Three million dollars is a lot of money, honey. Where did you plan to get such an amount of money now?" "From you, dear. I promise to return the money in a few weeks." "I don't have such an amount of money." "Removed it from the hotel's fund. I don't want to miss this supply." From the hotel fund?" Simpson asked back. "That's stealing. No, I can't do such a thing. "You are only loaning me fo

    The security guard was tied down beside the steps, blood trickling down his face and he looked as faint as death. The old man gasped for breath as soon as the cloth stuck into his mouth was removed. "What's going on here?" Andrew asked in a whisper. "I have no idea, Sir. I was so tired and I decided to take a nap when some people suddenly appeared at my back and then whacked something on my head," he paused his speech, swooned backwards and lolled on the building wall. "I lost consciousness and just woke up when you arrived here." "Let's wait for the cops. They should be here in a few minutes." Isabella looked around and then sighed when she discovered Andrew had hurried out of her sight. Just like the compound, the parlour was empty. "Let's check the corridors and the Ante-rooms." Mary was found unconscious inside the washroom, and Madam Alice was seen tied down on one of the cushions in their parlour. After pouring water on Mary to revive her, Andrew kneeled in front an

    He parked at the end of a deserted street, hopped down the car and stepped into a roadside bar. "A glass of vodka, please." A man in his late sixties is the barman. He is fat and grimly looking with a scar over his face. He served Andrew his order, glared at him for a while, and then shook his head and went back to his section of the Inn. Andrew brought out his phone and then punched some numbers on the screen. "Hello. What's the update?" "We have been able to track her line to a remote area and we will be on our way as soon as possible." "What is delaying you? You should have called me as soon as you found her location. " Andrew disconnected the call, hissed, swallowed the content in the glass belched with contentment, and then ordered a glass of tequila. He was on his fourth glass when two young men wobbled into the bar. "Is that not Andrew?" "It's him. What is he doing here?" The men were his friends during his youth days. Several years later, he decided to quit hanging w

    A year later, Andrew had almost forget about his estranged queen, and only the vacant position of the queen keeps Jasmine's memory fresh in his brain. During the chiefs meeting one late night, the chief chamberlain cleared his throat and muttered, “When is our kingdom having a new queen? It’s over a year since Queen Jasmine left our palace.” “The chief chamberlain just spoke my mind,” An older chief in a white regalia let out. “ As our custom demand, the throne of the queen must not be vacant more than twelve months. We must choose another queen as soon as possible.” Andrew Inhale louder and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “I can’t just make a random woman my queen. I need to first find a woman that I like, fall in love with her and then choose her. Don’t you think this is a long process that can’t be achieved in a few months.” “We all know this, your highness,” Another chief in a blue regalia and extra large hat mumbled. “We have all think this through and decided to choose Andrea

    ACTING ALL SWEET

    Jasmine barged into Andrew's chamber one night and met him staring at some family photos. “You don’t bother to check on me since Andrea arrived.”Andrew offered a sardonic smile and gestured to her to come closer.“I’m so sorry. You have been acting cold and making it difficult to talk to you.”Jasmine fixed her eyes on Andrew's face as she stepped closer and stood beside him. “You know why am angry, yet you keep doing the same thing to drive me to anger... Did I do wrong by marrying you?”With an innocent smile pasted on his face, Andrew shakes his head sideways and asked, “What did I do wrong? You have been avoiding me since Andrea arrived in the Palace.”“You know what you did, Andrew. So stop acting all sweet.”“I only knew Andrea’s presence here is not agreeable to you. But as you already know, she is the mother of my heir and I can’t stop her from visiting her only son.”“Oh!” Jasmine exclaimed. “Are you shaming me because I haven’t given you a child or you just hated me?”

    A MATTER RELATING TO THE HEART

    The legal battle was tougher than Andrew had imagined. But at last, Jackson was given the option of parole only after five years and a commendable behavior. Though it wasn't exactly what Andrew wanted. Yet still, he was glad that he was able to reduce his punishment. A year later, Andrew was attending to some political guests when he was informed of Ajay's arrival in his palace. "Take him to my private chamber. I will be with him in a few hours." He quickly dismissed his guests and rushed to attend to his childhood friend. "What brought you to my palace at this time of the night? I thought you had gone to Arkansas City for the Yuletide holiday." "Yes, I just came back some hours ago," A smile appeared on Ajay's face as he muttered," Andrea is back at the O'Connor's villa." "Oh! Why doesn't she come to me?" "She can't. She knows that you are happily married and she won't like to be a distraction to you or your wife." "Married, yes. But not happily… Do you have her new mobile n

    LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

    Jacob was found dead in his room the following morning. As expected, Jackson was arrested for the murder of Teddy. During the interrogation, he refused to mention Andrew's name and insisted it was an accident. Nevertheless, he was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Though Andrew was happy that he had avenged his father's and grandfather's death, he felt sad that Jackson ended the scapegoat. But because of the sensitivity of the case, he had no choice but to sit and watch the law take its full course. A few days after Jackson's judgment, Andrew was seen gazing absent-mindedly into the sky when he heard some footsteps behind him. He turned and a smile appeared on his face at the sight of the unexpected guests. "Hi, Simpson.""My king!"Andrew stepped closer and held Simpson in a tight embrace. He then picked up his daughter, hugged her and then ruffled Jimmy and Tommy's hair and mumbled, "You guys are growing fast," He turned towards Simpson

    THE POISONED RING

    Andrew was right. Bad news travels faster than its counterparts. His rumour of death had reached his enemies even before Jackson arrived. Sevreachedmen were seen in a jovial mood as Jackson stepped inside a splashy large room with a blinding light. "Welcome, Jackson. We have heard of the usurper's death, and we realized this is your handwork," Jacob announced as he held Jackson in a tight bear hug. "Now that he is dead, let's see how he wants to wear the crown.""It's my pleasure to serve you, people," Jackson mumbled as he offered his hand for a shake. And he was aware of the poisoned pin as it pricked Jacob's palm. Jacob also feels a light sting and his eyes immediately gawk at the ring on Jackson's finger. "Where is the poisoned ring?" Jacob asked as he released the breath he had been holding. Seeing a different ring on Jackson's finger brought immediate relief to him. "Here… Here it is," Jackson said as he dipped his hand into the pocket of his suit and brought out the deadly

    NO PERMANENT ENEMY OR FRIEND IN LIFE

    Though Andrew didn't believe Jasmine's explanation. Nevertheless, he decided to let the sleeping dog lie. Yet still, this seemed to bring a bigger hole in their imperfect relationship. And the two of them live like cat and mouse for months. A year later, Andrew was still wondering why he ended up with Jasmine when he was informed of a guest awaiting him. Thinking maybe it was Andrea, he immediately asked if it was a man or a woman, and disappointment could be seen on his face when he was told it was a man. "I can't see him tonight. Take him to the guest quarters until I'm free to attend to him.""Yes, Your Highness. Though he claimed that it was very urgent and begged for your immediate attention.""What is his name?""Ajay O'Connor. He seemed to know you from your days at Arkansas City.""Send him in," Andrew mumbled. He wonders what Ajay wants with him and his curiosity makes him restless until Ajay arrives. The young man was a shadow of himself. His once smooth and shining ski

    WHEN THE DESIRABLE IS NOT AVAILABLE

    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

    HISTORY WITH HIS EXCELLENCY

    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

    REAL BEAUTY LIES BENEATH THE SKIN

    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
