Mason returned for the evening after his day's tasks at his office. On his way to his apartment, he met with his dad who called him. "Yes son, I'm calling you." He turned around and walked towards his dad, wondering what he was going to say. "Perhaps, it's gonna be something connected to Jane." He thought right inside of him. It had been four hours since Jane left his office, he didn't want to know where she was going, he didn't just want to see her again. "What happened to Jane?" The king asked, stating a warning, his eyes were stern on Mason, even his fist were balled but then Mason blinked his eyes several times in a second in confusion. "What do you mean?" He wondered inside of him, refusing to say a word to his dad who just throwing dagger stares at him. The next thing that came to Mason's mind was amusement on how an old man like him would fight his only son who was the heir to the throne just because of a woman he is old enough to hear. He didn't see this as enough reason t
CHAPTER 52"How can he send the love of my life away?" The king muttered to himself, walking around his room with his hands clutched to the back. He was deeply troubled that Jane whom he wanted as a wife to enjoy his retirement day with wasn't with him any longer. He snapped his fingers, murmuring some sinister words against him. "Mason is going to receive it, I don't care if he's my son or not!"It was that early part of the morning, where the sun was yet to rise, he couldn't sleep on his bed, normally as the King he always wake up by 8 AM, most especially now he's growing older and weaker, participating in less activities.While he was here, planning his sinister thoughts, Mason has already rose up to prepare. He sent a message to Stephanie through her WhatsApp, he wanted telling her something important, so he alerted her of this.When Stephanie heard her phone ping, she sprang up from the bed, just to see who it was. "Maybe it's an emergency for all of us to resume work early toda
The contract which was given to Stephanie, in the company of Mason's lawyer, stated that Stephanie would be brought in to live in the palace so that everyone believes she's the right fit for him, his true fiancee. The pay which Mason already told her was still the same amount in the contract, the terms were really good CHAPTER 53The contract which was given to Stephanie, in the company of Mason's lawyer, stated that Stephanie would be brought in to live in the palace so that everyone believes she's the right fit for him, his true fiancee.The pay which Mason already told her was still the same amount in the contract, the terms were really good. Stephanie couldn’t believe the opportunity this as left open for her, but she was saddened by how he taught she was to be paid. She will happily do this for free her crush for him as long overwhelmed her a long time ago, who knew he would ask her to be his girlfriend. She couldn’t help to let out a squeal as soon as she dropped the call. Sh
Mason took Stephanie to meet his dad, the king in his palace, other relatives living in the palace were invited to witness this meeting. The king couldn't believe that his son whom he wanted to punish for sending his mistress, Jane away has passed his test. "Now I can be king after you, right?" Mason asked his father, he stammered a yes but deep inside of him, he still wanted him to feel the same hurt he felt for challenging Jane which made her to pack her things and leave. ***** Stephanie was anxious, today was stage day Mason was going to introduce her to his father and family, She had chosen her attire for this special occasion, a beautiful dress that flowed like a waterfall, a symphony of lace and silk. It was a deep shade of royal blue, a color that resonated with the history and grandeur of the castle she was about to explore. The gown accentuated her figure, and as she twirled in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but smile at the vision she presented. She was filled wit
The king was furious. As he entered his private chambers, a room adorned with priceless artwork and lavish tapestries, he found himself consumed by frustration. Without a second thought, he kicked down acrafted architectural model that sat innocently by the door. It crashed to the floor, sending fragments of ivory and ebony all over the place As the king vented his anger, he couldn’t believe what his son had done. He had no intention of retiring from his throne and he was going to get rid of him immediately. A guard who had been stationed outside the door heard the commotion. With a mixture of concern of what might be happening , he quickly approached the king . "Your Majesty," the guard said, "Is there something troubling you?" He said as he took notice of the room which happened to be tured up side down. The king's eyes blazed with frustration as he turned toward the guard. "It's that wretched boy! My son! He passed the test which was meant to bring him down, I feel enraged, I
While they were hiding in the dark room after they switched off the light, some men, part of who the king was plotting with walked into the room, scanning everywhere, they couldn't detect where the light switch was from the dark room. They hadn't been here before, so they don't know. Stephanie wanted to panic, but Mason tapped on her shoulders urging her not to be frightened, he kept observing them, since they couldn't navigate through the room, they turned back and were about to go away from an average height man walked in and gestured on them to go in and shake the room really well. Mason who was happy that they were leaving suddenly became so furious. "Why should this men threaten my life this way?" He couldn't stand this again as he wasn't happy at all, he couldn't have the peace he deserved as a prince. "I'm gonna do whatever it takes!" He vowed inside of him, pulling up his shirt, he pulled out a shot gun, Stephanie who stayed with him and felt this wanted gasping but he quick
"What!" He screamed so loud, hoping to get the attention of the Chief of staff, he was doubting this, he couldn't just believe it. He thought it was some prank meant to destabilize him. "Well, your Majesty, as I'm now addressing you as, you're the next in line to the throne, in fact, you're now the king, so get prepared and return home from wherever you are." As he said this, he ended the call not giving Mason any chance to ask any question. ******** The palace woke up early in the morning to this bad news, it was time for the king to order for his breakfast and he didn't, the chef became scared wondering if the king was angry with him and planning to punish him. He couldn't get in touch directly with the king, he reported this strange warning to his Chief of Staff who also had the responsibility of checking up on him every morning and get his schedules for the day. When he arrived at his private chambers, he caught a sight of a man lying in his pool of blood. "Who could have
Mason returned home to meet with his fake fiancee, he was worried about what happened, that she didn't pick up his calls. Was it the way he rejected her and abused her for having sex with him? He had a lot of thoughts in his mind. When he reached their apartment, he called the maids who worked around, asking if they had seen Stephanie since morning but each of them replied in the negative. His heart began to beat so hard. His thoughts slightly drifted apart to thinking of when he will become king, he needed a wife but no woman has come to him naturally, he hasn't fallen for anyone naturally. He was caught in a death trap, he heard that it was about three days, then he would be crowned as the next king but he wasn't really sure of this. He pushed open the door of the living room, searched around, there was no sign of anyone being here, he ran upstairs, along the way, he lost balance and almost fell. He was glad he hit his leg rather than falling to get injured, he wasn't really ang
