Flashback"Chloe, get table 13, please." Mrs. James, the owner of the restaurant I work for said to me with a sweet smile plastered on her face. "Yeah, sure!" I said and ran towards the table to take the customer's order.Is there any other word to use other than perfection? Mrs. James is such a nice person. She's a boss every employee would ever ask for. Ever since I started working here three months ago, she has always treated me like a daughter rather than a worker. Wondering how I ended up here as a waitress? Months ago, my house caught on fire. I lost my mom in the process because she was an asthmatic patient and she couldn't survive it. And my kid sister, Diana.. the only sister I have is also nowhere to be found after the incident. Not only her, but my Dad too. We lost track of each other and I'm still confused to date. Everything seems to have fallen apart after the house caught fire. I seem to be the only survivor even though, deep down in me, I know my dad and sister are s
flashbackHe wasn't joking when he asked his men to close down the whole place. They had started to ask even the workers out of the building and no one could do anything to stop him. I have no idea who he's but they're all so scared of him. "No one is leaving. This is not your father's house to-""HOW DARE YOU DRAG MY FATHER INTO THIS?!!" He fumed in anger."And how dare you treat my mother in such a manner?" I asked back in the same tone. There's no way I'm going to get intimidated by him."Chloe Collins, stop it!" Mrs. James scold me and suddenly drag me away from this brute to talk to me, I guess. This would be my first time of working with her in the past months I heard her call me by my full name ."Chloe, what do you think you're doing?" She whispered yelled.I sighed before answering her. "Mrs. James, I'm sorry if things turned out this way but, I just can't stand there and watch him treat you in such manner. You've been so good to me for the past 3 months of working for you,
Flashback"Where are you taking me to?" I asked the moment I got into his car but he ignored me like I'm invisible. Earlier, when he was done with his threat and I agreed to leave with him. Mrs. James pleaded to have a few minutes with me, he agreed and left for his car with his guards. I took that as an opportunity to search for him on the internet with my phone. I couldn't believe my eyes when his picture popped out. He's one of the richest, bachelor businessmen in the whole world. I have no idea why I never knew about him until now. Now, I see the reason why everyone was so scared of him earlier. It was because they knew who he was. "Can you please tell me where you're taking me to?" I questioned again. Of course, this road doesn't lead to the airport else, I'm wrong."Can you just keep quiet!!!" He snapped at me."Look here, you anno-""Finish that statement and I will do the unthinkable thing to you" he threatened and I hurriedly shut my mouth up. I don't know what suddenly c
flashback"SOPHIA?!!!" "Oh my goodness! That's Sophia" I said to no one in particular.I smiled to finally lay my eyes on her again. I can't believe she's standing right in front of me after so many months. I couldn't hold in the excitement anymore and tried to go hug her but, I was abruptly stopped by one of the maids I was with. Her grip on my arm was so firm and tight. "Hey! Where do you think you're going to?" "My sister" I smiled pointing towards where Sophia was standing. "that's my sister Sophia, I need to talk to her"She sneered and rolled her eyes at me. "That's the king's youngest daughter" she said in a duh tone."But... But that's my sister, Sophia"I might not have seen her face clearly but, I'm sure that's her. "please, I need to talk to her. I promise I'm not lying. She's my sister, Sophia""I just told you, she can never be your sister! She's the king's youngest daughter!" She hissed and glared at me. "Look, her name is Janet and not Sophia whatsoever, understood
FlashbackChloeThe sound of the cold breeze blowing outside woke me up. I opened my eyes and take a sit as I rubbed my two eyes. It's been two weeks since I have been brought to the palace by that jerk of a prince. Well, to me, he is a jerk. "I'm glad that he hasn't made me pay for what I had done to him last two weeks. He might just kill me and no one would dare question him. After all, he's the prince... And according to Mrs. Samuel, he's one of the most influential businessmen in the country. And for that, I'm so grateful to him- I thought.To me, everything in the palace seems strange. Though, it's very big, classy and quiet but boring and not lively. When I first came, I thought it would be lively, but to her surprise, everything seems the same just as the first day I had come."And their stupid rules? Oh my God! It's just so frustrating! I can't believe that there are some places that one could go and could not. All the gates are to be closed at exactly 10:00 pm. I don't eve
"Huh?""No, nothing. Never mind". "Thank you, Mary". I thanked her. She seems nice- I thought, smiling."It's my pleasure, Chloe. Okay, I'll be seeing you around then" She smiled at me."Yes, I hope so" I nodded my head and Mary walk away. I breathed out and look around the main kitchen for the very last time before walking out. While Diana on the other hand, was eyeing me from where she was standing. I could see her from the corner of my eyes. Only goodness knows why she's acting like that towards me when I haven't done anything to her.I walk out of the kitchen and halt for a moment. I facepalm myself as she recalls that she hadn't asked Mrs. Samuel where the prince quarter is. There are so many quarters here and if I start to count, I might just faint at the end. Still thinking of who to ask and then, I spot John coming her way. Swiftly, I amble closer to him. "Erm, h... Hello" I muttered standing right in front of him." Miss Chloe" John answered cheerfully. "How are you d
"Chloe, right?" I heard a voice call out my name whilst taking a sit beside me. A while ago, after I ran out of the room in shame I ran up to the prince's balcony and have a sit and think about my life. But my mind kept wandering back to the incident that occurred earlier. I thought for a moment. Why was he so rude to me for no reason? "Your highness" I called rising from my sit immediately my eyes landed on Alexander. Then, I saw Angel standing right beside him too."Please Chloe, you can take a sit" He said to me in a calm and soft voice. "B... but your highness....". I trailed off."Cut the formalities, Chloe. Why are you calling this idiot His Highness when he just asked you not to". Angel blurted out and smirked at Alex."I swear, I might.... just kill you.... right this moment, Angelina". He said to her through gritted teeth."Oh my goodness! I'm so scared right now" She dramatically uttered, feigning scared to him."Can you just shut up for goodness sake! Why do you hav
Chloe"Now, it's time to face the demon himself." I sighed and murmured under my breath before sauntering back into his quarter.I walked into the room but saw no one. "Where could he be?." I thought as I scan the whole living room. I expected to see him since he had asked me to come and meet him but here I am, and there's no sign of him being around."Could he have left and never bothered to-""What are you doing here?." I jolt in fear as I heard his hard voice behind me."Yo... Your... Your Highness! I... I was told that-" I was saying but instantly froze for no reason. What should I do? I don't even know what to say. Should I tell him that 'here I'm since you asked for me?' or what do I tell him?And, Why am I even afraid of him? Why is my heart beating twice faster than it should? Am I that scared of him?"Should I write it down to you so that I don't ask questions twice?." He burst at me in an angry tone.What's really happening to me? I haven't turned around to face him yet, I
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
