Raya walked in and got startled as she saw Stiles holding his pictures next to her bed.

“Stiles” she called out his name in a startled manner. 

Stiles turned to her gazing directly into her eyes with his pictures on his palm, “Care to explain?”. 

He spoke in an angry way. “Raya,What are my pictures of me having a conversation with a friend doing in your room, how did you get them Raya?”

Raya walked closer to him “I'm just looking after you Stiles and I really do care about you”, she held his hands, “that is why I put a spy camera on you Stiles” she spoke looking deeply into his eyes.

“Raya!”

Stiles said as he let go of her hand and a step back, his face etched with bewilderment and curiosity.

“Raya please you will get me into trouble if your mother and father found out what you are doing.”

Stiles said as he stared askance at Raya who was looking at him with his face etched remorse.

Stiles back her and face the door 

“You should consider marrying Anthion Henry the man whom you're parents choose for you.”

“And why did you bug me with a spy camera without telling me?”

“It's a breach of my right to privacy.”

Stiles said as his eyes fell on Raya whose eyes was overflowing with tears, she wipes off the tears with the hem of her gown.

“I thought i have told you that I am not interested in him.”

Raya blurted and came closer to Stiles.

“It’s you and only you Stiles my heart beats for.”

She said as she held Stiles hand and placed it on her heart.

Stiles gazed deeply into her eyes and said to him self.

“Wow!...She is really in love with me and wait… I must confess I do too feel something for her too but she is the daughter of my so call adopted parents, plus my life is more complicated than I can ever imagine.”

“Raya!”

Stiles said as held her hand and look into her eyes.

“Let's have a sit.”

He said as both of them sat on her bed.

“Raya I like you but your parents…”

Immediately he interrupted by Raya who still wondered who the man he was talking to was.

“Forget about my parents Stiles, don't allow them to come between our love Stiles.”

Raya spoke and she held Stiles hand very tight.

Stiles phone immediately rang and taking it out his pocket it was Jonathan Jacobs.

“who is it?...Let me guess your friend.”

Raya asked looking away.

“Raya, please I promise we will tell you all about this when the right time comes.”

Stiles said as he gets up from the bed and walked to the door and stopped and faced Raya.

“Oh! and Raya please dispose the pictures.”

“Please If your mother or father sees them I'm gonna be in a big trouble.”

Stiles clarified as he walks out of the room.

On his way he bumped into Mrs Lisa who gave him a resounding slap.

Taa!!.

“watch it!.”

“You bastard, you almost ripped my dress.”

She said as she gazed at Stiles scornfully, her eyes were staring daggers.

He stared at her as she looked at her dress.

“what… uhh, why are you looking at me that way do you want to slap me back?”

She said as she walks closer to Stiles.

“I thought as much.” She said as she pushed him away and walk outside.

Stiles holding his red hot face stared at her as she walks out…his thoughts went on rampage.

“I have an idea.”

Stiles followed her and hide at the back of the car as she entered her car, deflating her car tyres, he ran into a near by bush and watch as she comes out of the car.

 “What!”

She screamed as she looked around to see whom might have done this treacherous thing to her, she couldn't see anyone.

Stiles blurt out in laughter as he took the other way out.

“That will teach her not to mess with me.”

He spoke as he walks to stop a cab at the other side of the road.

He waved down a cab but was splashed with muddy water almost immediately.

Before Stiles could realize what was happening, the driver drove away as he saw what he have done.

Stiles waved down another cab and asked the driver to follow that cab immediately.

”That will be 400 bucks.”

The driver spoke as he look at the rear view to look at Stiles.

“Wait!.”

“What!”

“400 what?”

Stiles asked as he stared askance at the driver,.as the driver was about zooming off, Stiles immediately pulled off mint dollar bills and handed it to him.

“Okay here you go.”

The driver immediately stared askance at Stiles and the loads of cash he was handing out to him.

“Wow this much my friend.”

“Yeah I know, can you step on the gas now, he is getting away.”

 Stiles said as his gaze fell on the road.

“Anything for a generous friend who I just meet.”

The driver said as he grabbed the cash and steps on the accelerator.

They tracked the driver down to the exact location Jonathan Jacobs gave to Stiles to meet him. 

Stiles looked around and saw the driver car packed at the car park.

“There you are.”

He said as he walked down the cab, his face etched with anger.

“Sorry, should I wait for you?”

The driver asked as he tried pulling over.

“No sir, no need your services is no longer needed, you can keep the chaange.”

Stiles said as he faced the restaurant door.

“Thanks!”

The driver said as he zoomed off immediately happily.

“Nice doing business with you.”

He muttered to himself as he zoomed off.

Stiles walked into the restaurant and gazed around looking for the reckless driver who he found drinking at the corner, he walked towards him as someone called out his name.

“Young master Stiles!” The voice was Ortund and laced with authority.

Stilles immediately looked towards the left hand side of the restaurantand saw Jonathan Jacob who was waving at him.

“Over here young master Stiles.”

Jonathan Jacobs said as he took a sip of his glass of wine.

“Give me a minute let me take care of something first.”

Stiles spoke as he approaches the driver slowly and cautiously.

“Hey mister.”

 Stiles said angryily as he hit the table causing the driver to shudder in trepidation and then looked at him from head to his toe.

“What?”

The driver blurted as he took a sip from his bottle of alcohol.

“You splashed water on me as you sped past me.”

Stiles spoke as he stared back and forth a the man and Jonathan Jacobs who was now staring at them cautiously as they were the only one's in the restaurant.

The driver chuckles as he took another sip from his bottle of alcohol.

“Oh you were the poor guy I splashed water on, so sad didn't you come with your mummy.”

The driver said mockingly causing the restaurant owner to burst into laughter.

Stiles immediately clenched his fist and immediately bashed the driver head to the table.

Dragging him out, he punched him out the restaurant, everyone at the restaurant stood up and Jonathan Jacob immediately intervened.

“Calm down everyone that is a friendly thing they are just having, no need to be alarmed.”

He said as he ran out towards the door to hold Stiles back.

Stiles have beaten the hell out of the huge driver.

Jonathan Jacob immediately took Stiles off the driver.

 “Young master that is enough.”

 Jonathan Jacobs said, his voice was barely above whispers.

 “No Jonathan allow me to teach him some manners.”

Stiles spoke as he tried getting on him again but Jonathan succeeded on getting Stiles off the driver and gave the driver money to go take of him self.

“Why did you give him money Jonathan?”

Stiles asked his gaze laced with venom and anger, his heart thumping faster th

an usual as he clenched his fist.

“You are just like your father Stiles.”

 Jonathan Jacobs immediately replied, his voice was barely above whispers.

Stilles immediately gazed at him in shock.

“What do you mean by that…”

The sound of her chewing, the way her words dripped with venom, made the hairs on the back of Stiles' neck rise.Stiles took a slow breath, trying to calm the knot of anxiety tightening in his chest. The weight of the conversation, of the promises made, of the mistakes weighing on him, felt heavier now that he was facing the full force of Sophia’s manipulation.

    Stiles smiled, a wry twist to his lips. "Every day. But... sometimes the things that bind us are stronger than our desire for freedom. And yet, it’s that longing that keeps us going. It's the hope that one day, we might find a way out.”She studied him for a moment, her expression thoughtful. "Perhaps we’re not so different, after all.”She spoke, her face marked with a little bit of a smile as she gazed at Stiles. Who immediately let out a chuckle.“Yeah, you can say that again.”Stiles spoke.The princess's smile deepened, and for a moment, there was a quiet understanding between them. The weight of their respective burdens seemed to lift, if only for a second, as they shared that brief connection. Stiles leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting to the far side of the room, though his mind was still tangled with the princess's words.“When I heard my mother was killed, my heart was shattered and I made a promise to myself that I am gonna do everything it takes for me to find o

    Sophia spoke to herself as she stood up from Miss Raya’s bed and began searching for her phone. She checked under the pillows, between the folds of the blanket, and even in the drawers of the bedside table. Finally, she spotted it on the windowsill, half-hidden behind a small potted plant. Sophia hurried over and grabbed it, checking the screen for any missed calls or messages.“Raya, you are so easily tricked, you don't deserve to be happy not at all, I will make sure you and that low life brat Stiles will never speak again.”Sophia spoke as she gazed at herself at Miss Raya’s makeup mirror.“Sophia! Are you still there?.”Miss Raya asked.Sophia snapped her head up, her heart racing as the sharp sound of Raya's voice pierced through her thoughts. "Yeah, I'm still here.”Sophia responded as she immediately took out her own cell phone from her pocket and immediately went to Rayas contact.“Ohh, okay, I will be out in a second.”Miss Raya spoke from the bathroom.“Take your time cous

    Miss Raya paused, her fingers absently brushing over the fabric of her bedspread as her eyes darted to the window. For a moment, her thoughts seemed far away, her expression unreadable."I... I don't know," Miss Raya murmured, almost to herself. "It's complicated."Sophia's gaze softened, but she didn’t stop pushing."Complicated how?" She asked gently, her voice dropping just a little.Miss Raya turned, meeting her cousin's curious gaze. Her lips parted, then pressed together as if weighing her next words. She crossed her arms over her chest, a habit she picked up when trying to guard herself.“He is at work, Sophia, I don't want to disturb him while he is working, his boss might get mad at him.”Miss Raya spoke as she gazed at Sophia, whose face was curiously gazed at her.“Alright fine, I don’t want to rush it, Okay, there, I said it!” She said quietly, her fingers drumming against her arm.Sophia raised her eyebrows, leaning forward slightly, the playful gleam in her eyes shif

    The princess's voice trailed off, her worry clear in her eyes. She stepped closer, watching Miss Laura and Miss Anna work with urgency.Miss Anna glanced up from the diagnostic console, her expression focused and serious. "We'll have to take the chance. But we can secure the room with defenses. If anything happens, we'll be alerted.”Miss Laura nodded in agreement as she carefully removed a damaged circuit. “We don’t have a choice. Mia is a big helper around here, fixing her is the only way to make our mission easier. We need to trust that she’ll hold up long enough.”The princess chewed on her lip, her mind racing as she weighed their options. "What about the mirror?Do we still have time to uncover its significance in all of this?"The princess asked, her tone quietly as she asked. “The mirror isn’t the priority right now. The creature is. But yes, once Mia’s back online, we’ll focus on that next.”Mr Jonathan spoke, his tone steady as he and Stiles walked out from the Storage ro
