- Giselle -

I sucked in a deep breath in shock and covered my lips with my hands. I looked at the blank expression on Franklin's face and did not know how I was going to convince him that I was telling the truth.

"I don't know how this file is here," I told him simply. That was the truth and nothing else. I had no other words aside from that.

"You don't know how the file is here?" He repeated and I shook my head.

"I know this is difficult to believe since the file is right here in our room but that is the truth," I said earnestly.

He did not say anything further but went ahead to drop the file on the table. I wanted to reassure him, to tell him that I wouldn't do such a thing and that Kira was only trying to set me up but I did not know what to say.

He returned to what he was doing while I was just standing there, looking like a fool. Apparently, I was looking for evidence and here it is looking me right in the eye. What is going on?

"Frank?" I called softly, walking towards him. "You

    - Kira -"What are you doing here?" I shot at her, feeling relieved that it was not someone else like The King or Alpha Franklin."Kira, how much more can you do to make things worse?" Giselle asked me and I grinned."There is only one way to find out," I replied."Why did you lie to father about the document?" She asked, her voice down. There was nothing else she could do but to ask and only if I wished to, would I give her an answer. I am not her maid anymore and I am not answerable to her."I did not lie to him," I shrugged casually. "The truth is I did not know anything in that file.""And that because you blatantly refused to let me tell you all you need to know about it!" She said empathetically and I raised a hand to her face."Hey!" I scowled at her. "Keep it down, miss. Don't raise your voice at me. I did not want you to tell me anything. I have a right to choose what to hear or not and I cannot stand you.""Kira what you did was very stupid and foolish," Giselle shook her he

    - Giselle -I should talk to Dad at least. Since the heat of the incident should be reduced by now. I wasn't myself, I was not happy and I could not sleep.I knocked on his door and waited."Come in, Giselle," he said and I wondered how he knew I was the one at the door. I walked into the room slowly and he was seated on the bed as if he was expecting me."You're awake," I stated, more than asking since I could see that he was sleeping."And so are you," he replied with no emotion in his voice. I sighed as I sat on the edge of the bed beside him."I couldn't sleep and I decided I needed to talk to you," I said and he looked at me. "Dad, I am worried. I am worried sick because of what happened earlier. I was very sad because you did not trust me. I've never lied to you and you know how much I prioritise my business. I will not throw it away simply because I want Kira to be disgraced at the meeting. You know I know well that things are not done that way. That meeting was not for Kira al

    - Giselle - It was a good day, I could say, because nothing eventful had happened. And by that, I mean the usual hurdles with Kira and her mother. Ever since we found out she was Dad's daughter, I haven't had any peace.I was in the courtyard when a noble man approached me. I could not tell who it was from the distance so I watched until he came closer.It was Jason, Alpha Sheka's assistant. I straightened up to talk to him."Good tidings, my lady," he made a light bow when he got close."Good morning Jason," I greeted. "I was not expecting you."I looked him over, knowing well he did not come for just pleasantries and he mostly does not have the time for that. I could see the envelope in his hands and my guess was right."There is a reschedule for the meeting," he told me. "And I brought the invitation for you. The time and date are all there."He handed me the envelope and I took it."It seems very official," I commented more to myself but he heard."That's because the last time yo

    - Giselle -The hall was extremely silent while I made my presentation with all eyes on me, but I was not shaken. If anything, I was confident, and the looks on their face, especially Sheka's, confirmed to me that they were very impressed.When I rounded up, there was a round of applause."Beautiful!" Alpha Sheka commented. "This is excellent. This is what I am talking about. Before I get too excited, is there anyone that have anything to say?"He looked around the table, and someone raised his hands."Yes, please, go ahead," Alpha granted him the floor."Everything the Princess has said is very innovative, and I am very impressed. They are all good ideas, but I would like to ask her to make some clarifications. She talked about involving other packs in this investment, and I would like to know how she wants to go about it."Alpha Sheka turned to look at me."Gisele, please?""Okay, to answer your question. If you recall correctly, you must have heard me mention the names of the pack

    - Giselle -It was a done deal, I knew it already. Everyone knew, because after the meeting, they all gathered around me and Father and were congratulating us.I excused myself from the crowd and stood a few paces away from them with a glass of wine in my hand.Thank goodness I was able to pull through this. At some point, I was scared it might not work because of the emotional riot I had at home before coming to the meeting.I had stood in front of the mirror after dressing for a long time, a worried look on my face. Franklin walked towards me and held me gently."Take a deep breath," he said slowly, and I did. "You'll do just fine."I closed my eyes to the warmth of his body against mine and nodded to his reassurance."Thank you so much, Frank," I smiled. It was not because I thought I was not good enough. It was because of the tension between Kira, me and my father. It could affect me, but thankfully, I handled it well."Cheers to big things," someone said, interrupting my train of

    - Giselle -He finally stopped laughing, trying to catch his breath."How's your sister?" He asked out of nowhere."What?""Your sister, Kira," he repeated. "How's she? Or you don't want to talk about her? You know, it's easy for you to say how some people don't have a high sense of reasoning, fascinating also that they are royalty, and it makes no exception to them. It made me remember your sister."And that was when I realized what he was trying to say."Don't drag my sister into this," I warned, not wanting to be involved in that kind of conversation."Or what?" He smirked. "You don't want us to talk about her and what a total disgrace she is? But you just pointed it out now. That being a royalty does not guarantee you to be sharp, and I did not argue with you. Yet when I point out the same applies to your sister, you cannot take it.""You and Kira are two different people, and it is pathetic that you try to compare yourself with her," I said. "Kira only became a part of the royal

    - Kira -I sat in front of my mirror after taking a bath and applied my lotion. I put it gently on my skin and rubbed it, catching a smile on my face.My thoughts? It was all about Jason. Nothing going on actually but just the way he looks, his subtle movements and his smiles.Now I was sad he did not ask about me when he came around the other day or could it be that he asked but Giselle did not bother to tell me?Why should I care that he asked for me anyway? My subconsciousness asked. Well, because we are at a level of relationship where he could ask, I told myself. Even if there was no encounter to have made us talk much, he could still ask just to check up on me.I sighed deeply. How did I find myself thinking so much about a total stranger? But Dad had said he was not just any man. He is a good man. The kind that every woman wants in her life. He looks like the kind of man who will cherish, love, respect and protect his woman with those strong arms.Oh...Someone cleared their th

    - Giselle -"Bitch!" One of them swore at me then turned to the other. "She's got some powers.""Not holding back," the other replied. "She doesn't know how to control it."Not yet, you idiot, I muttered to myself. I tried again for the powers but nothing came. The men kept getting closer. Why does this shit happen to me all the time? I mean, what is the use of having powers when I cannot make use of it? But I kept trying."Who are you and what do you want?" I resolved to talk to the attackers in a bit to distract them and delay the attack."Who we are is not so important to you is it?" They said. "After all you are a princess. You must see yourself as more important. However, we are here to put a brake for you."Talking did no job of distracting them. They were on me already and pinned me to the ground."We don't want to hurt you unless you give us a reason to. We just want to give you something to work on. When the contract comes to you, don't sign it."It took me a few seconds to r

    - Franklin -"Where is my wife?" I asked the question I dreaded."Oh, she is fine," the doctor said. "She and the babies are fine.""Thank goodne..." I let out a deep breath and sucked it back in almost immediately as his words registered in my head. "What did you just say?"He smiled."She had twins," he told me. "A boy and a girl."I couldn't believe my ears and did not know how to react to the news either."You mean, I'm having two babies at once?" I asked, holding out two fingers.I don't know why that sounded funny to the doctor but he chuckled and nodded."In fact, you already have them," he said. I brushed him out of the way into the room and found them. My two gems and lovely wife are on the bed.Words failed me. And for the first time in a very long while, tears gathered in my eyes."Oh my goodness, oh my goodness," I muttered as I moved slowly towards them. Giselle was awake but looked weak. In spite of that, she managed a small smile.I held her hand hands gently and kissed

    - Cleopatra -I turned round abruptly, surprised to see him."Franklin?" I called as if I was not sure of his existence in flesh and blood. "What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you were going to wait in your chambers so the doctors can work this out?""I changed my mind," he said. "I will stay here till the end of it.""No you will not," I said hastily before I could stop myself then sighed. "I mean, you shouldn't. We've discussed this already. It's not nice for you to go through this. I will stand in for you. You will only be agitated waiting here.""Don't worry about that, sister," he said with a straight face. "I am strong enough to wait. It is cowardice to leave my wife in this condition and stay in my room. Let me worry about her. That might not even be the problem. I am staying strong where her strength fails her.""But it's not even the issue of staying strong or not," I chuckled. "It's making an environment where these guys can work freely and save her.

    - Franklin -There was a strange look on the doctor's face, not exactly strange because I could already tell what he was going to tell me was not a good news."Her pregnancy was induced," he told me. "We'd have to take out the baby to save her life.""Her life?" I was able to pick. "And what of the child?"The doctor went mute and looked away. I held his shoulder and shook him."Tell me," I half yelled."I'm afraid we might lose it," he said slowly. I let him go, my heart shredding to pieces. I cannot lose my child. No. Not after all these years. Not again."And my wife? What is the probability of her being saved?" I asked, and again, I feared his response."If I'm to be sincere with you, it's a fifty," he said. "But, I will assure you that we will do our best."I ran my hand through my hair and took deep breaths in a bit to calm myself. I was not thinking straight and I felt extremely cold.King Markus was there with me, looking and watching. There wasn't one amongst us who could com

    - Jason -I instinctively placed a hand on my stomach, waiting to feel any slight pain."Did you poison me?" I asked him. The seriousness dropped off his face, and he laughed. Morgan laughed long and hard, doubling over. He hit his fist on the table while he laughed, and I watched him, dumbfounded.He finally struggled to control the laughter with a wheezing sound, tears in his eyes."Gosh, you need to see the look on your face," he said. "I did not poison you, silly."I let out a deep breath I had not realized that I was holding."Now, why will I want to kill you and choose to do it by poisoning your food?" He asked, taking a cup of water from the table. He gulped it down and shook his head at me. "You looked so shaken. Are you that scared of death? For someone like you, poisoning is a disgraceful way to die, for even if I wanted to kill you, not that way."He laughed again."Morgan, that was not funny," I had to say."You think? You looked like a wrung chicken. You looked like your

    - Jason -I had just finished speaking with Alpha Sheka about very important matters of the pack and was about to leave when he called me back."That reminds me," he said. "I need to invite you to a banquet tonight. I was going to tell you earlier but I skipped. Also because of the matters at hand you know.""I understand alpha," I replied empathetically. "Where'd we get the invitation from now?""Oh it's not far," he said with a suspicious movement of his lips that could pass for a smile. "It's from my son.""Oh, that's interest...what!?" I was saying before my brain registered what I heard."Yes, my son, Morgan. He arranged the banquet specially made for me and you," he repeated and I still could not believe my ears."Did he say he wanted me at the banquet?" I still asked because I could not make sense out of it yet."He made a special request for you to be there. You are surprised, aren't you? Well, I am too. I hope you don't mind the banquet. I've always thought you two were...uh,

    - Jason -It took me a few seconds after I returned to my room, to notice someone was there. I turned around with a displeased frown on my face."What are you doing here, Morgan?" I asked him."It's Prince Morgan but yeah, I think I can let that slide since it's you and also seeing that you'd always stress me with having to correct you all the time," he said with a grimace."What are you doing in my room?" I sighed."I'm here to talk," he replied with a shrug. "Can't I talk to you?""What are we talking about and why in my room? Official meetings are not held in the bedroom.""That's it," he snapped his fingers. "Because this is not an official business.""I cannot tell when we began to have an unofficial relationship," I stated and he laughed."Maybe if you were paying attention more, you'd remember that I did mention it.""I don't want to be acquainted with you, Morgan," I said to his face. "I am fine the way we are.""Come on Jason, don't make this hard," he said, relaxing his back

    - Cleopatra -I eyed the greedy man and scoffed."What do you mean by this is not enough? Do you want four generations' wealth before you're okay?" I scowled at him."My lady, you know what it caused us to be able to cover up for you. And I have other people to settle and keep their mouths shut. You will have to remit more."I sighed tiredly."Okay fine. I am going to give you some more but that will be it. You must not complain nor ask me for anything after that. And you must not try to contact me because we can never be seen together. Do you understand?""Clearly," he replied."Good."I was able to handle him without anyone finding out about it, and I hoped it remained that way. Anna has promised to keep her mouth shut and only say what was agreed on if Giselle finds her, but I couldn't trust her.How could I hold her to her words? I looked into her eyes and saw the fear.

    - Giselle -I was very eager for the reports, but I was disappointed."There were no prints," the experts told me. "The old lady poisoned herself to death.""You're trying to tell me she took her own life?" I asked for clarity even though I heard them. I felt like asking them why, but knew they wouldn't have an answer to that.The midwife was well, according to the reports given to me hours before I went to see her, and then she poisoned herself?This doesn't make any sense to me."There has to be a reason why this happened," I said thoughtfully as I paced around the room. "Why did she take her life? What made her do it?"I lifted my head, and Franklin was barely paying any attention to me."What do you think about this?" I asked, and he looked at me."I don't know," he said with a shrug."You don't think she'd take her life for no reason, right? What must have made her do it? Did someone threa

    - Giselle -"What?" I asked, my eyes following the direction of his hand. There was something at the edge of the bed, and I walked towards it.An old woman, obviously the midwife, was lying dead on the ground in the corner."Oh gracious heavens," I muttered, placing a hand on my chest. One of the guards moved close and picked up a bottle lying beside her."Looks like a poison," he said, lifting the bottle to his face and observing it. She had foam all over her mouth, and her body looked fresh like she could have died just a few minutes before we arrived.How did we not even notice all this while? And I looked all over the room. There were no signs of death anywhere.Gosh, I was this close to getting her, I lamented."Looks like murder," Another commented, what was going through my mind."What do we do now?" They asked me after moments of staring at the cold body beneath.
