CHAPTER 39 : Open your eyes...

Natalia blinked her eyes as they fluttered open. She was barely aware of the figure lying beside her with his head on her tummy.

The Princess looked around confusedly and spotted Elva lying asleep on a couch. Her eyes continued to wander as they took in the drip, equipment, bed, hospital uniform and then it clicked.

.

She slowly got her memories back.

Natalia tried to sit up when her eyes caught Tommy. He was the one lying beside her with his head and arm wrapped around her tummy, sleeping peacefully.

Her heart softened as she reached out a hand and stroked his hair softly. She couldn't help but fall in love the more with the little Angel.

Suddenly, the door creaked open and Mrs Argent walked in with a bag followed behind by a doctor. She smiled warmly at Natalia.

"I'm glad you're awake. How are you feeling now, dear?" She whispered after Natalia signalled her not to wake Tom.

"I'm fine, ma'am....but then I'm not." She muttered sadly as her face fell,

She kept smiling at his sleeping figure until she noticed someone else was in the room.Mom Rose felt drawn to her the more when she asked to see Arian even at the state she was. The doctor had said that her blood sugar level was low, really low. She was weak and had lost a lot of energy. That was the main reason she'd fainted.The Princess was so fragile.Mom Rose was touched at how much she blamed herself for what happened.

Yet, he'd barely spent one hour to comfort his own son at the hospital!Mom Rose sighed helplessly.She'd sat on a single sof

She chuckled from the tight hug."Un-hun! Can't wait to go back to school." She smiled. Arian choked.Who's gonna be his roomie during the day??Tommy spent his day in kindergarten and he was NEVER gonna let his mother stay with him, irking his brain on how much he's in love! If that was his only option, the young master would readily go into coma! Butler Lee was also out of the solution. Arian concluded. He'd rather sleep in a graveyard instead!"Who's up for pizza?!" Damon announced walking into the ward with four steaming boxes of pizza and two packs of soda.Christ!He was wearing their uniform too? Wasn't it time for them to leave yet?? Arian continuously frowned in displeasure."Definitely me!" Jeffrey walked in next. "I already ordered some buckets of wings and sodas though.""Guys?" Arian mouth

Nicky, Natalia and Elva were at the cafeteria during lunch break, ordering their meals when an ecstatic group of girls rushed over.While Natalia and Elva looked confused, Nicky groaned silently. Who didn't know the 'Gossip trio' as they popularly called themselves?? They were part of the school's journalism team and it probably wasn't their shift today else It'ld have been their voices over the speakers announcing the school news. The euphoric girls rushed over to the group's table, knocking over a waiteress in the process. Nicky scoffed inwardly.They obviously knew how to create a scene! "Have you guys heard?" They screamed simultaneously. "What the hell's wrong with your vocal cords?! Pipe it down!" Elva snapped. A lot of heads turned their way which was typical. Anytime Ria, Sia and Zia made an entrance, juicy gossip was about to overflow. "What?" Nicky raised a brow cautiously. "You've gotta be kid

    CHAPTER 43 : So cliché! "Jeffrey?... I've known since like forever. She's my sister. So it's no big deal." He shrugged and she breathed out.Sometimes, Elva forgot they were twins. "If you're VIP, you might wanna follow me back stage. ' Cause they're gonna kick them out when practice starts. Too much noise." He updated. Elva looked around and nodded in agreement.Before she could register the speed of the moment, Elva's right hand was swooped into Ricky's left as he pulled her somewhere at the other end of the theatre. The popular hottie, pausing every time to throw greetings around didn't favour Elva because it gave the female casts a lot of time to stare and glare maliciously. Teenagers will never change! Became her new theory.If they could act that way with her, then how'ld they act with Nicky who was gonna pretty much kiss one of their favourite crushes repeatedly in their faces??Elva suddenly grew grateful for herself and pitiful towards her friend.

Before she could weigh out her options, Nicky drew away from him and wiped her tears quickly. "It's nothing. It's just...I was just...it came....I thought....No, I was just rehearsing a part in the play that's all." "You don't expect me to buy that crappy bullshit! Now, tell me what happened or if I should find out myself, Nicky I... " He threatened. "I said it's nothing! I'm serious." Nicky got scared that her greatest fear was about to happen. Ricky ignored her and sharply turned to Elva. "Was it some idiot in the drama club? Did she get bullied? Did someone say something nasty??" Elva flinched in fear. She had never before seen him so angry! "I said it's nothing, Rick! I was just going through the part in the script where Romeo and Juliet died, that's all!" She stood up and picked a powder brush to gingerly dust her

    CHAPTER 45 : For Everything (2). "Natalia, I'm hungry." Tommy pouted, leaning on the door frame. With lightening speed, Natalia's eyes flew open and they broke apart in a flash! She stared, with a flushed face, at everything but at the boy before her. "O..Oh. L..let's go?" She stuttered and rushed Tommy outside. Arian stood still, staring after her.That was....He was one second from kissing her? No, he wanted to kiss her.Badly! The young French had never met a girl who'd made him lose control over his emotion in a heartbeat and that realization freaked him out! Slowly, he started to recall all those strange moments he'd caught himself smiling at her memories, looking forward to seeing her and now, losing his rationality being so close to her?Was mom right?Was he really in love??Or was he just attracted??? Gosh! Rick was right. Figuring it out will leave you close to insanity! He shook his head and walked out. In the adjoining living room, Arian spot

"Nicky, it kills me to see you cry and get hurt repeatedly." He ended on a softer note."And do you think any of this is easier for me too? Stupidly liking a person who likes someone else and who might probably never look at...." She was cut off by a big hug from Ricky.The tears Nicky had been trying so hard to control started trickling out. She shook beneath him.

And that was the truth.She was scared, scared of facing a rejection...*****Ten minutes later, Ricky tucked his sister in bed and laid beside her.

She stated, playing their usual nightly 'what' game.....which usually followed the same pattern. Arian seductively wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. "We have the rest of the night to ourselves." He deliciously bit his lips and swept down to capture hers.But Natalia stepped away. "I need to check if the twins have yanked their heads off already." She tried to escape but Arian blocked her. "You're just coming from the nursery." He sexily pouted and Natalia almost gave in. She shook her head to reject the temptation. "I think it's time for Adrian's milk." She tried again but Arian easily caught her. "Adrian's asleep and his milk isn't until midnight. So..." He kissed her and slowly

Natalia had set up a special committee of her most trusted ministers to hold the Empire for a few days. Jake was among the members so he had a little delay. "I really admire you." Naomi continued, taking the attention away from herself. "Being an Empress, a wife, a mother, a philanthropist and also a role model, all in one package!" She dramatised. "It's no wonder you haven't changed much with three kids! On the contrary, it made you hotter. I'm just expecting my second child but I feel like a granny!" Nicky joked and fondly rubbed her huge baby bump. "No! You're not a granny. You're my mommy." Louisa raised her head and pouted.The girls giggled when Nicky blushed.

"Stressful." She pouted. "I know, right? This champ is quite a handful at night.'' He tickled Adrian who hung on his neck like King kong. "Da-da! Da-da!!" He squealed happily which echoed arouund the room. "As if you weren't a handful yourself." She scoffed and turned away, pulling the duvet closer around her. It made Natalia a little jealous that Adrian hadn't yet learnt to call her mama. In fact, Dada was the only word he knew! Arian noticed it and chuckled, pulling her back to face him. As usual, he was shirtless wearing only sweatpants. Some habits were just so hard to break! Not that Natalia was complaining though. It made her husband look uncontrollably sexy! Adrian grinned down at his mama in his diapers. Fa

    CHAPTER 182 : The Seal Of Their Love. ( Astheria, Australia. ) Still sitting on the floor, Naomi slowly arranged her things inside a cardboard box. She shivered a bit because she was still wearing her clothes. But Naomi didn't care. There was more important things to be done than caring if she had gotten a cold by wearing her wet clothes for so long that it'd dried still on her. A knock sounded on the door. "Please go away. I'm a little busy." Her hoarse voice sounded. Naomi knew the visitor wasn't on an official business. If the Empress or the royal assistant needed her, they'ld have easily sent an email. And so far, they hadn't. Naomi couldn't blame them though. She felt embarrassed and hated her family's history. And after everything they had done to the Santianas, she couldn't bare to look at anyone anymore. After a while, the knock sounded again and this time, the person walked in without consent. Naomi didn't bother to l

Just make it as quick as possible." The aged doctor whispered and walked away. Elva Thompson and Jake Buniz nodded before walking into the Royal study. They found Natalia leaning on her desk, gently running her fingers over her grandmother's diary. Louis had kept it safe like he'd promised. "You should be resting. Doctor's orders." Elva let out a small frown in displeasure. "I'm fine." Natalia curtly said and stood up. The thick sweats she was wearing matched with her pale skin. She returned the diary to one of the drawers and faced them back. "Tell me. The casualty report?" She ordered. "We lost a good number of our men while the rest are being taken care of." Jake reported. "And Max?" Jake lowered his cold eyes in hes

    CHAPTER 180 : The Battleground (3). ( In The Carribean Ocean.) The Mob boss snickered which sounded like something made in hell and back hugged Natalia, erotically pulling her closer. Arian fought the impulse to take a step and lunge at him! He was purposely riling him up to draw him into the sensors! "Tsk! Don't make her feel bad!" He clicked his tongue. "You were smart, my love. But sentimentality was all I needed to sneak into your lives.... And you gave it to me." He nuzzled her hair and possessively trailed kisses down her neck. Arian's insides cringed feeling his control slowly snap while Natalia's self hate increased each passing second. "Let her go!" Arian snarled, running out of patience and clenched his fists. "And you expect me to ask 'Or what?'." Leonardo cocked a cocky brow. "Look around you, fool! We ain't in some shitty movie. This is my turf! I run this freaking game!" He viciously barked. "What do you want?" A

Meanwhile, the automatic doors trapping Arian De' Argent in the hallway reopened after the lights had suddenly turned off and returned after five seconds. Arian turned to continue the search for his love but stopped when Naomi froze....and then fainted. He hastily caught her before she could crash land. "Hey, hey!" He called seeing her drowsy eyes. "What..." The French heir froze on his interrogation when he saw four darts pierced into her pretty brochette and a fifth one stuck on the skin of her neck. Naomi had thrown herself in front of Arian when she noticed the danger he was in without thinking. Arian pulled them out and tapped her lightly. "Hey, stay with me, okay?" The timid spy tried to nod but the snake venom was working tremendously fast, already at the second stage of the symptoms which was total paralysis. "Hey!" Arian yelled. "What?!" Max yelle

    CHAPTER 178 : The battleground (1). ( In The Carribean Ocean.) "Who do you want to go first?" He casually, but deviously asked. The gunshots continued more fiercely and through the cameras, Natalia and the few in the room could see the gory battle going on. As observers seeing the whole battle ground, anyone could bet that Astheria had an upper hand! "The only game we'll be playing is the one you'll be losing." She seethed in confidence. Leonardo coldly smirked which gave her goosebumps for some reason before placing his hand on a screen which scanned his fingerprints. "Good evening, Master. How may I be of service?" The voice of an artificial intelligence echoed from thin air. "Ava, place the fortress on lockdown." He ordered. "As you wish, Master." A moment later, metal doors sprung up trapped everyone in. Those who were fighting outside couldn't get in and those who were in couldn't get out. Natalia's heart skipped a be

The geniuses among the little battle squad was in the same tent, doing what they did best with the gadgets and devices in there. They were all dressed the same with silent and serious features. "She should've made contact by now." The Captain of the army continued. "Let's think more positively. It could be that Naomi hasn't yet located the Empress.... Even though it's not really a positive thought. However, you above everyone else knows how shady these Kelions are. There's still a few hours till midnight. We should give her a little more time." Max offered, more relaxed than his superior as as he typed away on a computer. "I trust my instincts. And right now, something doesn't feel right." Jake stopped behind him and leaned over with a hand on his chair and the other on the table.
