In the taxi, Angelica dials a number severally it wasn't answered. She assumed Margret was busy and then sent a text. The job is done, I told her what you asked me to. Shortly, her text was replied to."Send your account details, I'll wire your balance to you." She read inwardly. It Angelica had a satisfied smile on her face. A few weeks back, Margret had gone to meet Angelica at the club, for details about Kim. Margret is determined to separate Henry and Kim, Angelica was the perfect tool for her. She was positive Kim would listen to anything Angelica tells her.Kim arrived at the mansion and went to her room. She didn't expect Henry to be there, he sits on the bed comfortably. Kim couldn't help but wondered how this good-looking vibrant man could be gay. It was awkward and she became uncomfortable with him in the room."What are you doing in my room?" She asks proudly, she was determined to have him stay away from her. She didn't get close to him, she stood by the door. Of course,
In a speeding car, Kim seemed to be in deep thought. in her mind, going back there was similar to stepping into Lion's den. She knew how ruthless and selfish everyone there was. She wasn't going to act weak or pretend. She knew they all hated her and wants her gone. If she wants to survive there she has to avoid any form of advances. She's had a few encounters with the members of the Royal family, they didn't seem friendly at all. They don't even try to pretend.Kim breathed deeply. She felt Henry's big palm cover hers. Then he pressed it slightly, trying to comfort her since she had a worrisome look on her face"What are you thinking?" He said calmly, looking directly into her eyes seductively."Do you also want to be in my thoughts?" She retorted sharply."If it's possible, I would." He said with a straight face, one would think he is angry.His hands wrapped around her waist and he pulled Kim closer.She struggled to release herself from him and Her eyes went through the head mirro
Henry walked into the room and saw Kim's eyes fixed on her phone's screen.He stood for a while, watching her hands tap the screen continuously as she smiled."Who was she texting? she never smiled this way to me." He said, feeling jealous.He walked towards her sneakily and grabbed her phone hurriedly."Give me the phone." Kim struggled to collect the phone from Henry, he switched the phone from one hand to the other and finally throws it on the other side of the bed.Immediately Kim tried to take it then he grabs her hand and pulled her close to his body."Let go of me." She struggled to pull herself away from him and almost falls from the bed but Henry grabs hold of her and pulled her. They both roll on each other and finally reach the edge of the bed. Henry used his hand to block Kim's head if they fell from the bed, his hand would protect her from hitting her head.Kim closed her eyes tightly, tightening her grip on Henry's suit.After a while, she opened her eyes seeing her lips
In the grand Hall, Many members of the family sit beside their various partners all dressed elegantly for the ceremony.Kim walked slowly, approaching the emperor and empress with her maids behind her."I thought this was a small ceremony? And how come the members of the royal family are this many?" Kim thought to herself."What are they planning? There are So many people."Reaching the Emperor empress Kim stopped and bowed slightly.They responded and then the maids led her to the table where the ingredients for making the tea were.She opened every one of the ingredients and sees they were all fresh and neatly put in their jars. Reading the names in her mind, she knew the type of tea they wanted her to prepare."The ingredients are fresh and the imperial chef tested it herself." The empress said out loudly.She turned and sees everyone watching her then she replied."Are you implying I'm doubting the ingredients?" Making everyone whisper amongst themselves. She then poured the hot
In the room, Henry sits beside Kim who was still unconscious. He touched her forehead and finds out it was hot. "She has a fever." He mumbled to himself. He holds her hand, pressed it slightly, and said."Kim, do you not think before doing anything? Why do you have to drink the tea? if you suspect it was poisoned why did you do it? what were you trying to prove?." All these questions he asks rhetorically. But he still hoped she would wake up and give him an answer.After a long silence, he continued talking."Are you this desperate to leave me? Do you hate me this much?" He said and smiled with tears pouring from his eyes."Kim, do you know I've loved you for a very long time? No, you don't. Right?" "Every day, I come to watch you dance at the club, I get angry when I see other men look at you. Every time I see you, I'm happy. All I ever wished is for you to love me back. But no, it seems I'm asking for too much. I promise to protect you from now on." He finished talking and then kis
Andrew searches amongst the books on the floor, slowly. He checked the pages of a few books. Then it occurred to him Henry didn't tell him the type of poison it was, in case he finds it."Your highness, what kind of poison is it?" He asked. Concerned."virelia," Henry replied, with his face still fixed on the book."Virelia?." Andrew asked, panicked."Do you know it?"Hmm. He cleared his throat and said."Yes, I do. It's very deadly and the antidote is Browallia also known as bush violet which is hard to find but french honeysuckle is also effective for curing the poison." He said blurted out."And?" He asked again, then he realized that Andrew just told him the antidote to the poison then he said. "Did you just say french honeysuckle?""Yes, your highness. That flower only exists in my hometown in Southern Europe and must be used immediately after being plucked for effectiveness." "Meaning, we can't bring it here for use? even after making an antidote with it?""Your highness," Andre
On the hallway leading to the exit of the southern mansion, Henry bumps into Margaret. Pretending not to see her, he walked past her."Henry stop." Her voice sounded calmer than ever. She said and he paused.She then walked close to him, staring at him, lost in her admiration of his handsome cold looks. She never had the opportunity to see him this closely."Is this a staring competition?" He said coldly, unperturbed.Then, Margaret realized she's been staring at him for a long time."How is Kimberly doing?" She asks calmly."She's alive," Henry said, it almost sounded like he meant she was responsible.Margaret clenched her fist tightly watching Henry walk away.Still in the restaurant were Vanessa and Elvis discussing."Tell me something, why did you get divorced?" He asked."Knowing so much could get you into trouble." She said, unperturbed.Elvis smiled and said,"Oh! I'm so scared." In his mind, this woman didn't know who he was, he is a danger himself.She watched the waiters se
After walking almost around two mansions they arrived at the big flower house, it was almost like another mansion. An imperial villa is a big place."Your highness, after you," Monica said and Kim entered the flower house."It's so beautiful." She said out and sniffed the air briefly. Different satisfying scents filled her nose immediately. But she wasn't satisfied with just that, she wanted to see the process of the whole thing. "Where do they process the oils and perfumes?" She asked and the maid said."It's dangerous to go there your highness, there are many dangerous chemicals in there. It'll be bad for your health. " Chemicals?" "Yes, the chemicals used to ferment the flowers and extract the oils.""You sound experienced, do you know how to do them?" Kim asked."Yes I do, I worked in the flower house before I was transferred to work in the mansion," Monica replied."Can you teach me someday? " "Yes your highness, I promise. But we can't stay here any longer. His highness migh
