Mason walked into the company after one day of absence. The familiar smell and rush of cold air made him think he was absent for close to half a year, six months. Adrian Harvey, his assistant, rushed out to meet him and greeted him first. "Welcome back sir." He bowed to him. Mason stopped and chuckled at what he did. "You are acting like I was gone for the whole year man." Mason hugged him tightly to Adrian's disbelief. He nudged him playfully and proceeded into the company. Mason had informed Adrian about the accident which made him absent from work, that was why he greeted him that way. Mason has refused to make it public and wanted it to be private. He doesn't want it out in public, not like he would benefit anything from it. He already knew who did it and he would try to solve his family matter by himself. Public opinion and sympathy isn't needed. If the case was made public, the public would insist on an investigation which would not be favorable for the king and the royal fam
Jane and Mason arrived at the fashion show in a good mood. They were receiving more attention than before. It was for Mason! He did not receive this much attention when he was the Duke even though they did welcome him well but now, everyone wanted to share a word or two with him. It was like he was already the King in their opinion. It doesn't matter whether the coronation had taken place or not, he was the king already. Mason was really in a good mood so he exchanged pleasantries and pulled out a smile all through. Though, most were curious about his chief designer who clung beside him but they waved it off their mind and tagged it as a business trip. But the reporters wouldn't take it off their mind as they were already planning how to make a controversy and catchy headlines on it. After all, that's what reporters aim for. Jane wore a red gown which clung to her body, revealing her perfect shape. It exposed her bare shoulder and some skin. Mason admired the dress on her and couldn'
Mason turned swiftly to Jane. He held her and made her face him. "I'm not denying my relationship with her and I will never deny my relationship with you. You are kind hearted, you are beautiful. You have the qualities to lead the kingdom as a Queen. You are everything I want in a partner and more. I love spending time with you, I don't know what will happen to me if you ever leave me. Jane!" He called and reached for his inner pocket pulling out a box.Jane's eyes twinkled, not expecting this. She hopes it's not what she is thinking but it's definitely what she is thinking and what everyone is thinking. The flashes of camera got intense as everyone wanted to take the shot of those moments. People pulled out their phones and everywhere was dead silent with a little giggle and admiration here and there. Was she ready for this? Mason went on one knee and opened the box which contained a flashy diamond expensive ring. Jane gasped, not expecting what was happening. "Jane, my love, will
Jane was on Mason's chest who rested on the car seat as they drove back to Jane's estate from the airport. She kept on fiddling with his shirt button as the recent occurrence replayed in her mind. She can't believe this! Mason held her close to him, so close that Jane wondered whether he was fearing she would disappear any minute. She has to reassure him that she is going nowhere and will stay with him but she has to be sure of something. Did he propose to her because he wished to or it was because of the rumors and he fears it turning into a scandal and destroying all his hard built fortune. "I'm glad you accepted my proposal. Thanks dear." Mason hugged her tightly. He kissed her forehead as a victory smile lingered on his lips. They were already in Jane's estate away from the reporters and prying eyes. Jane smiled back at him. "This must be expensive." She purred, flaunting her ring. Mason chuckled at her words. He took off his suit and hung it. They were in Mason's room. "This w
Jane was led into the palace by one of the maids. They've been informed about their arrival and accompanied Jane since she was new to the palace. She came along with one of her robots who helped her with some of her belongings. She brought her cosmetics and some clothes. She was planning to shop some more when she has a free day. She doesn't want to take all her belongings from there. Anytime she wants to go back there, she would be at a loss. The maid led them to Mason's quarters. The crown prince wing. Jane admired the inner decor and planned to roam the palace after she was done unpacking. Mason's quarter wasn't any different from what she had expected but even more. She knew hee estate wasn't any less amazing but the decorations here screams wealth. It was classic. Mason urged her in and the maid went back to her position. Mason had been the first to arrive at the palace while Jane had gone back to pick some important things. Since they are engaged, it's only right for them to s
"Those two men were suspicious and I was sure they weren't from the palace. They weren't in the palace uniform either. I asked them a few questions and they couldn't give a reply. I had to call for help from the guards when they flew over the fence and escaped outside. They were obviously skilled." Jane was narrating what had happened to Mason who was listening attentively. He had heard that they were intruders in the palace. "Hope you weren't hurt?" He was concerned about her. "No, I wasn't. I am okay." They didn't even take a inch closer to her talkless of hurting her. "We have to be careful Jane. This is suspicious. I have increased the security around the palace and will re-strategize everything. For them to think of breaching the palace shows how lenient we are becoming in security around the palace. We have to be more careful." Mason was worried about this new occurrence. Who would think of breaching into the palace. It has been a long time since this kind of thing happened i
Finally, the time came for Crown prince Oleg's coronation as the New King of Greece. Mason and Jane were all dressed up in their finest attire. The press, likewise the people of Maldives has named them the Royal couple. Jane was dressed in a blue long flowing gown made of luxurious silk with intricate lace details and a train that trails behind her. Jane wore a diamond earring and a matching necklace and her hair styled in an elegant updo. Mason had bought the diamond earring for her to match with the ring he proposed.Mason wore a black tuxedo with a crisp white shirt and his hair slicked back. They exude an aura of grace and sophistication. They would be shown and recorded live as they leave the country so they had to live a sophisticated lifestyle and be humble. Mason and Jane left the palace and a limousine took them to the airport terminal. Bianca and her dangerous spies were prepa
"Who sent them? Who do you think sent them?" Jane panicked as she asked the questions that left her puzzled. She thought those criminals were after them. They were after Mason and her. But they barged into the palace when they were out of the country. It was no coincidence. Which means that they weren't here for them but for something else. Something more important! Jane wondered what was it? She was beginning to think whether there was more to the Royal family that she didn't know. Maybe there was more to the Royal family that Mason didn't tell her. Just like in all those complicated family stories. Jane stopped walking around and looked towards Mason who sat on the bed with his head in both of his hands. He was worried. More worried than her if what they came for was more important like she suspected. "Mason! What do you think?" Jane asked him hoping he would tell her what was in the room. "Do you have any idea why they are here?" She added. Mason sighed and raised his head to loo
