Alice Anderson"K... Ken? What are you doing here?" I asked, looking surprised. He walk closer to where I was standing and stopped feet away from me. "We need to make one thing straight. This building belongs to me! This... is my house, I can walk in wherever and whenever I want. You have no right to question me, don't you get it?" He said in an arrogant tone. "I'm... I'm sorry" I quietly mumbled. I have no idea you were here already. I thought you left for Seattle" "Wherever I go to or what I do is non of your business!" He hissed again. Okay, I should keep my mouth shut because this man ceases every opportunity to cut me off in whatever question I ask him. "I can see you know how to lie to people and make them believe your lies. It's good to know that" he said again. "Wh... What are you talking about?" "My dad, I heard every bit of your conversation with him. You're so good at lying. Well, I don't care what you do but, just make sure my Dad never knows about this going in bet
Alice Anderson"N... nothing is going on. We just decide to let things that way""I'm not a kid, Alice. And you can't deceive me forever. I know exactly what's going on between you two. I thought you were going to open up to me but I realized, you are not ready to do that. You think I don't know that this marriage between you two is nothing but a forced marriage? You two never loved each other even though, I could see a lot of sadness in your eyes whenever I bring up his name." She said and I choke on my food. "Hey! You need to be easy on yourself" she scolds before offering me water to drink."How... How did you know about Ken and me?" I asked her. "Isn't it obvious? You two weren't acting like a couple in love. Ever since the day, you two walked in yesterday, none of you looks happy. Ken was so angry yesterday night and you on the other hand look so sad. Also, he came here with that girl a few weeks ago. There's no way he will be in love with you and yet, still move around with th
Alice Anderson"Yes, dear. I'm telling you this not because I hate Ken. I love him and took him as my biological son. I nurtured him ever since he was a kid and I can even lay down my life for him but as much as I can do all of this for him, you seem to be a good and innocent girl. I can't allow you to fall into his trap, that's why I'm telling you this now" she finished saying whilst I still sat down there looking at her confused. If I say, I wasn't confused about the whole thing yet then, I'm only deceiving myself. Her words kept ringing like a bell in my ear and it's becoming scary for a moment. I know Ken to be a scary man but, never for once have I thought, hearing things about him will make me this scared. I'm shaking already. "Come on, finish off your food. It's getting cold already. I also have to show you around the house, you need a tour"A tour? How can I be in the mood for a tour when I just heard a scary warning about Ken from her? I am a mafia right and I'm not suppose
Alice AndersonI adjust myself properly not to fall because the person I just bumped into, is not planning on helping me at all. "K... Ken" I stuttered once my eyes were fixed properly on him. What is he doing here? I thought... I thought he left the house already. "How dare you come into my room?!" He growled in anger. All the veins in his body rose one after the other. "K... Ken, please calm down. It's not what you think, okay?" I said in a panic tone. He looks so upset right now and I have no idea what he might do to me next. I have been warned about him but I never listen. Not only did John try to tell me but the nanny did too and even, the other guy I met earlier. Shit! What have I gotten myself into this time around?- I thought. "I JUST FUCKING ASK YOU A QUESTION, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN MY ROOM?!" He growled in anger again as he forcibly grab my hair all of sudden in his hand. Tears roll down my cheeks. "Ken please, you're hurting me" I tried to get myse
Kenneth Domanco"What about me?" "Do I also have to work hard to win your heart?""What?! Baby, you've won my heart already and you know that. You don't have to prove yourself to me. I love you just the way you're, you're perfect for me. I've always wanted and chosen you over every other girl and would still keep doing that no matter what. Nothing is going to change that, my love""Even when your father is involved in all of this?" "Not even my dad can separate us and you know that" I said, trying my best to give her as much assurance as I could but suddenly, something caught my attention. My eyes suddenly fixed on blood. I have no idea."But baby, I-""Babe, I will call you back, okay? I love you so much, always remind that, okay? No matter what, I will always love you" I said and throw her a kiss through the phony before I hurriedly hang up the call. I followed traces from where the blood is coming from and opened my door only to see Alice's lifeless body on the floor. Did the
Kenneth DomancoAfter an hour feeling like forever, the doctor walked out of the emergency room. I walk up to him panting hard like someone who just had a marathon race. "How is she feeling now?" I asked and he sighed. "For now, we can subdue the blood but, she needs a blood transfusion right away else, her life will be in danger, or we might end up losing her" "Don't you dare say that! Nothing must happen to my wife, you get that?!" I growled in anger as I suddenly jack his shirt. "Mr. Domanco, please calm down. This is against the hospital protocols" he said in a panicked tone. "Just do whatever you can! Do all it takes to save her! She needs to be saved at all cost!" I hiss out in anger. "I know and it's our job to save your wife at all cost. What we need right now is a blood donor. We have to get one as soon as possible to avoid complications" "Then fucking take mine! What are you waiting for?!" I burst. "It's not done that way. We need to carry out some tests first to be s
Kenneth Domanco"Please, whatever it takes, you have to treat her. Nothing must happen to her" my dad said to him in a pleading tone. "We will do our best.""I will foot the bill at the counter downstairs when I'm done here. That will be all, right? What you intend to tell us concerning her health?""Yes, Mr lemiere""And please, do whatever you can to get her treated. She's the only daughter that I have. And also, make an arrangement to transfer her to s better room. I do not like where she is""Yes, yes, Mr. lemiere. And please, don't be bothered about that. we will try our best to make her well and better""And, I hope we can see her now, right?""Yes, yes, Mr lemiere. You can go in to see her but I think, she might still be sleeping at the moment" "It's fine. We just need to see how she's fairing. We promised not to disturb her. And please, make sure to commence the treatment as soon as possible" "We will do that but you also have to help us too""On what?" "She needs someone
Alice AndersonI've been hearing two familiar voices, dad and Ken yelling and screaming at each other in anger. I could hear the agony also in Ken's voice but why can't I open my eyes? Why can't I just find my voice? Why am I feeling sharp pain down at my side stomach? Why can't I move? Am I dead? What happened to me? Can someone just talk to me or make me understand what's going on? I don't know if I'm still dead or alive. Does the dead hear words? Because I can clearly hear everything dad and Ken are both talking about. "So, is that the reason why you end up hurting her by making her almost lose her life? Because you're jealous of her?" I could hear the disappointment laced in that tone. Finally, I got to open my eyes slowly and my eyes landed on the two most important men in my life glaring at each other. I look around and saw myself in a weird room painted with milk color. Not only that, my dress has been changed and I'm putting on a weird short blue gown with a drip on my righ
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
