Alice Anderson"I mean... We... we're getting late. Mom must have been waiting up for us downstairs, don't you think?" I lied again. All I'm trying to do is get out of here before he entraps me again because I'm not ready to get hurt this time around again. I'm sure, I won't be able to control that pain if that happens. "Sure, I will help you with your shoes then" Before I can protest and stop him from doing what he says he was going to do, I'm already seated on the edge of my bed with my right leg on Ken's lap as he is trying to help me put on my heel. As he was helping out, he was smiling too like someone who just won a lottery. I wonder what's going through his mind right now and, what's so funny that made him smile like that. He helped with the right leg and moved to the left, before he slide my leg on the heel, he kissed my toe first and then slide my left leg into the shoe. I widened my eyes in horror and felt a sudden spark again from his action. "We're done. Come on, let me
Alice Anderson"Oh my! Look at your cute little face" my mom said smiling at the picture hanging on the wall I'm front of her.We're done eating and now in my room. She's looking at all the pictures I took when I was still little. Both the ones hang on the wall and the ones in the album. Dad and Ken said they have something important to discuss so, they're now both in Dad's study room. I want to really know what they're both talking about. They exclude me from everything and it's so annoying. We've been doing things together for years and now, they're both counting me out on everything they do. No, I need to talk to them and know if they were able to work on the plan we had weeks ago. "Mom, can you continue to look at the picture for the time being, I need to drop something off for Dad""Is it something serious?" She asked looking at me with a concerned face. "Oh! No, no, no. Nothing serious, it's just about the company. Mom, I will be right back, okay? Please, just give me a few
Alice Anderson "Hey mom" "You are done talking to him? That was fast" she said, turning her head to look at me and smiled. "Mmm, it wasn't much. Plus, I can't leave only you here. I need to be fast and come back as soon as I can" I answered. "So, are you done looking at the pictures?" I added as I move closer to her and take a sit beside her. "Well, almost. And this picture, when did you take them?" It's the picture I took during 6th grade. I took first place in class and Dad was so happy and proud of me so, he took me out to get me thongs just to make me happy. "In my sixth grade." I answered, shortly. "I'm so sorry, Alice." She suddenly apologize and turned to face me as she hold my hand in hers. "Mom, what are you doing?" "I'm sorry for not being there for you all this while. You know, looking at all your pictures now made me realize how distant I've been with you ""Mom, why are you apologizing when it's not even your fault? All that happened in the past, was never your f
Alice Anderson"Are you even listening to yourself right now? All I'm trying to do is to make things right with you. You've always complained that I'm heartless, I never want you around me, and now... Now that I'm trying to change just for you now means, everything I'm doing is wrong? What exactly do you really want, Alice?" He looks really pissed right now. Yes, he is right. I have always wanted him to treat me right like his woman but he has never for once done that to me. All he installed in me was; I will always be nothing but a girl who forced on him and now, he wants me to believe that he is doing this for me."Why?" I asked him. "What?" He looks confused. "Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to change just to please me?" I questioned again. I need to know what's going through his head. "Just because-" he was saying then stopped talking again. "Just because...?" I asked, looking into his eyes intensely. "Just because I want to. Can't I change because I want to?" He
Alice Anderson"Good morning beautiful" He took me off guard and the next thing I felt was his lip on my cheek. I swear, I wasn't expecting that. I widened my eyes in horror and turned to him hit instead, this brat winked at me. "How dare you kissed me?!" I wanted to burst at him but end up, drowning in the small smile he just pass me. Did I say earlier that he looks horrible? No, I'm wrong. He looks really charming. I never knew, putting on a black shirt and a black T-shirt would look so hot on him. "Okay, that's enough you lover birds. Let's seat and eat our food. You can eat each other later" "Mom!" I glared at her. Dad chuckle and shook his head. I helped Mom with the other two maids set the table before we finally seat and start eating. •"Alice, I swear, this had better be something serious else, I'm going to kill you for disrupting my sleep" Angel threatened and the rest of the girls burst into heavy laughter. I can't help but roll my eyes at what she just said. I guess,
Alice Anderson"Wait, what? She changed her mind?!" Sophia looked shocked as she questioned Chloe. Not only her but every one of us in my room right now looks shocked. The girls missed my mom's food so, they decide to come to Dad's house since that's where Ken and I still are. We will be leaving for our house by the weekend though.We're doing Skype with Chloe right now. I'm so happy, I can't even contain my happiness and end up jumping out of joy. "But how did it happen? Just yesterday, she was still adamant and believed you're only with her son because of his money?" I asked. "Well, turned out my mom used to be her friend, and also, they've always wanted Seb and I to marry each other right when we were kids. They lost contact some years ago and she couldn't even recognize me while I was working in the palace " Chloe explained. "What?!!" We all exclaimed at the same time."Yes, yes. I know y'all are surprised. I'm as surprised as you girls.""But, how is that even possible? It me
Alice Anderson"Hey Ken, what's with the weird look on your face?" Sophia tried to make a joke but instead, he walk over to where I was seating, grabbed my right hand, and forcibly stand me up. "K... Ken" I stuttered as I called out his name in fear. Seeing him acting like this is beginning to scare me again. I thought, he has changed. So, what's going on?Without replying to her, he tried to drag me away with him but Sam hurriedly stood in front of him with her hands wide open as she stop him with her slender body. All my friends joined her and tried to block him with their bodies."Out of my way, Sam" he ordered in a cold tone."No, we're never going to allow you to take her away like that. Do you even know how you look right now? You look like a monster and I'm sure, you're definitely going to hurt her again. No, I'm not going to allow that. You've been hurting her way too long and now, you really have to stop that. It's time you stop all this nonsense, Ken! I thought you have ch
Alice Anderson I shut my eyes tightly waiting to feel his hand on my face but being waited for a few seconds and felt nothing, I opened my eyes slowly then... I saw the most shocking thing. Ken has water of tears dripping down his cheek. I can't believe he's actually tearing up right in front of me. I thought... I thought he was going to hit me but instead, he end up hitting the wall. "Ken I-" I tried to talk but he raised his hand stopping me. "Leave my room now," he said with no emotion in his voice. "Ken please, can you at least talk to me? I don't know how you came to know about James but believe me, there's no-""I don't want to listen to anything. Just leave my room now before I change my mind" he said again in a hard tone. "But how can I? You drag me all the way here just to send me away without asking me the question you intend to?" I asked in a worried tone. "GET OUT NOW! GET OUT! JUST... GET OUT!" He growled.I hurriedly ran out of the room before he does something cr
Alice AndersonSo, they both know about this too and, none of them bothered to say anything to me. "I know what you were about to say, Dad ""Huh? You do?" He look surprised. "Mmm. Aren't you trying to tell me it was because of you our car got into an accident and my Dad died?" I asked and they all widened their eyes in horror. Including my real parents and my brother too. "You know ?" Dad asked again. "Yes, I do. I found out almost a month ago. I decide not to talk about it because I learned it wasn't your fault. You only mistook our car for someone else's. I wanted to hate you, I wouldn't lie but I can't. You made sure to find me, took good care of me and never make me lack in anything. That... Is it enough for me to forgive you, Dad " I said. He looks so happy right now. I'm glad he does. "Babe" I heard my husband's voice call me. I slowly turn around and saw him kneeling with one knee on the floor with a beautiful diamond ring in his hand."K... Ken. What's going on? What are
Alice AndersonWe just got back home. I mean, to England, the Palace. I'm nervous and happy at the same time. Nervous because I do not know how to face my real parents, and even my mom too. I did a lot of things to them before we left for Paris. I was so rude and annoying. Even though it wasn't my fault why I did that to them, I regretted it to be honest. Myself, Seb and Jessica have grown a great bond. We're so close that we're inseparable. I really had fun. We did a lot of things. We went to the park together, and to cinemas, and did a lot of games I wasn't able to ever since I was little. We even went to the tower. I had no idea it will be that fun. Ken was devastated a week ago but I'm glad, he overcome it. We also promise to visit his mom's grave when we go back home. I'm glad he listened to me and now, he's happy. Everyone is and I can't thank God enough for finally making my life so perfect. And now, for the past two weeks now, I've been feeling too tired and get dizzy at e
Alice AndersonThree Days later"Ken, come on. You can't do this to yourself. What if your wife finds out about this? You think she will be happy?" I heard Andrew say in a worried tone to Ken. I was standing at the door, ready to twist the door knob open but what I heard made me stop for a moment."Andrew is right. You brought her here to make her happy, are you going to do this over some woman who left you without any regret?" Lucas said. Woman? Left him? Is he worried about Anna? "She's not just some woman, Lucas!!!" Ken busted angrily at him. Now, I can't take this nonsense. I thought he said he love me?I twist the doorknob open and barge in on them. "What woman are you talking about?" I asked looking at their faces. They all widened their eyes in horror. I guess, none of them expected me here. "Can someone tell me what the heck is going on here? What woman are you talking about? Is it Anna? Is Ken like this because of her?" I bombard them with questions.I know, I look like
Alice Anderson"S... Seb. You're crying?" I looked scared right now. Why is he crying when all I'm trying to do is to bond with him? Without uttering a word, he suddenly hugs me tightly. "Thank you. Thank you so much for accepting us as your family. You have no idea how happy I am right now and I'm sure, Mom and Dad will be happy to hear this from you " he said in a happy tone. I could tell from his exciting tone. He's really happy. I broke the hug and smiled at him too before taking his two hands in mine as I caressed them. "That's why, I've thought about it. We can go back home early, right? I want to talk to them and set things right. Though all these still seem like a dream to me, but all I want right now is to bond with them.""Of course, that's... That's a great idea. We can go back as soon as you conclude" he said, excitedly. After that, none of us said a word to each other again. It was like, we were both left in our world but, still aware of the surroundings and things hap
Alice AndersonIt's been days since we come here and it has been the best for me and the girls. Ken has been helping a lot to help me forget about my worries too and I really can't thank him enough. This past few days, I've been able to grow a bond with my little sister. Yes, you heard me right. I'm trying my best to accept who I am now. The following night after the day we arrive here, Ken talked to me and made me understand a lot of things. He made me realize I will always be me and I can't change my background or my Identity. No matter how upset I am, I have to accept my family back else, I will lose them forever- he made me understand that and I'm so thankful for having a sweet husband like him. And Jessica, she's such a sweet soul. I've been able to grow a bond with her for the past few days now and it was great for me. I never imagined that I would have a kid sister or, be a princess in my entire life. The moment I learned that Seb is a prince to be crowned a King and Chloe
Kenneth Domanco"Who could it be?""I have no idea. I'm still doing my findings" I answered. I need to be sure of my thought first before I accuse anyone."Ken, allow me to say this to you. I'm not okay with this decision of yours but, if this is what will make the two of you happy for now, I'm ready to do it for you. But please, always remember that we've warned you about this beforehand. Please, do not hurt her. She's now Seb sister and, if Yu hurt his sister, I do not think he will sit still. You might be more powerful and scary than us but when it comes to protecting one sister, one can be scarier""I know, I know okay? And please, I never intend to hurt her because she means a lot to me. She means everything to me, she means the world to me but damn it! I can't just find myself opening up to her. She will hate me for that""She would still eventually hate you if she comes to know about this""That would be after I find a way to tie her down with me. I will make sure she doesn't f
Kenneth Domanco"Hey! Is anything bothering you?" Alex asked as he took a seat beside me. I've been sitting alone here on the balcony of my room and then felt a hand on my shoulder. Turns out to be Alex. I sighed after looking at his face before answering. "It's about Alice..." I trailed off as I rub my face with my right hand."What about her? She is fine just now before the girls drag her away and, as far as I know, you two are fine with each other also so, what's the problem? Don't tell me you're down because she's not here with you?""I don't know it will be so hard to find her despite my power and capability. Can you talk to your private investigator? Mine, couldn't get anything to date and it's becoming frustrating, to be honest" I said."Ken, I don't understand all you've been saying. First, it was Alice, and now, who? Who are you talking about? Talk to my private investigator for what? Look, I'm not saying that I won't do that but for what reason? I mean, I have no idea what
Alice Anderson"What in the world did you guys just bring home?!! You guys are being ridiculous right now? Did I write the list or not? I gave the list to you personally, Ken. And, why are there so many items missing?" I bombard the guys with so many questions. They just came back after leaving the house an hour ago and, when they decide to return, this is what they brought to us. All the items they brought are weird. Definitely not what is on the list.I watch as they all gave me their innocent look. Like, I'm going to fall for that. "You sound like my wife babe" Ken said sweetly."Stop giving me that tone, Ken. Of course, I'm your wife! And, this is ridiculous!""Geez! Alice, calm down, will you? You're acting like a pregnant woman" Alex said. "Well, why am I not surprised? Your friend said that to me some hours ago. I guess, if I'm pregnant then y'all should be happy then... What do you think?" I said, rolling my eyes at him before turning to face Ken and pointing my index fing
Alice Anderson"I'm glad you love this place. I did this so you can forget about everything and clear your head over here" He said and peck my lip."I know and I do. A lot, a lot, and a lot!" I exclaimed, excitedly before looking around us again. We've been waiting for the rented cars they paid for and still not here yet they ought to be here for the past five minutes but there's no sign of them. I guess, we will have to wait some more. "You two look so cute right now. I swear, you're making me want a man for myself" Jessica said in an awe tone."Then go find yourself one. Stop daydreaming and work on getting yourself a man" Philip said to her and smirked. I do not know what has been going on between these two but whatever it is, they will make a great couple. That, I'm sure of."I wasn't even talking to you Philip so, do you interfere in my conversation with my sister" She glared hard at him as she said that. Sister?Maybe, I should begin to get used to it. "She's right. Don't bu
