“Where is she?”
“She is with mother right now. She brought them for you and I’m glad that they came at the right time,” he said and wiped the oil at the corner of her mouth.
“Thanks, I’m very hungry.”
“I can tell and by the way you look beautiful.”
“Thank you,” she said and took another one, “aren’t you eating?”
“I will eat later. Right now, I will just watch you eat and make sure you are no longer upset with me.”
“I’m not and you know it.”
“If you aren’t anymore, then go with me and meet my friend. You never saw him before, right?’
“No, I haven’t. I would love to meet him.”
“That’s my girl.”
She finished the plate of dumplings and left the room with her husband.
It had worked, he smiled to himself as he held Talia’s hand walking
His birthday cake was ushered in and he went to the front to cut the cake. The birthday song was played and everybody sang along with him. He didn’t want to cut his cake alone so he called Talia to the front that came eagerly and happily.He helped her to put her hand on the knife while his was on top and adding some pressure the two of them sliced the cake. There were cheers and whistles as the two finished and returned among the guests. The cake was taken so that it will be cut and shared among everyone.All of a sudden, the king stood up and everyone quite down.“Thank you all for attending Prince Neal’s twenty first birthday. Today I didn’t want him to just celebrate his birthday but bestow upon him his duties as a prince of Qarth,” he said and the priestess walked in.What was happening again?“Come forward son,” he said and Neal did as he was asked of.He kneeled right in front of him and just
She didn’t talk much to his parents and the next thing she was leaving the hall using the same exit Talia had used. Immediately he stood up and went to his mother.“What’s happening?”“I think something huge is about to happen and we should alert the guests.”“What do you mean?”Neal explained the whole story to his mother and father and saw that look in his father’s eyes.“Father, do you know something?”“It’s complicated but we need to do something. Make sure your friends are enjoying and then you find an excuse and follow us.”“I will do that. Be careful,” he told them.He didn’t want to lose anyone especially on his birthday. His parents left and he called Jasper for some help. &n
Queen Grace at one point once suspected that her friend Mercy changed ever since she got married to her husband Rob the king of Qarth. She thought maybe she was only distant because of the regulations and all that but she never expected that Mercy had been in love with Rob all the time.After listening to Mercy’s confession after she had been caught by Talia was something she just never expected and find it hard to believe. Feeling weak to her bones she fell to the ground and her husband caught her.“Are you okay?”“No, I’m not. I trusted her and shared everything with her and she just wanted to destroy everything I cherished. How could she?” she cried looking at Mercy who was on her knees and begging for forgiveness.“What should we do with her?” Neal asked.“She might as well just rot in jail,” she said.“No, we can’t do that. If she is sent there then everything will
“Fine, just send her this way. I can’t go inside while I look this way,” she said and the maid left.Who was her guest really, she wondered? Few minutes later the maid returned followed by a woman who was in her thirties she guessed.“You may leave now and bring her something to drink,” she instructed the maid.“Greetings your royal highness,” the woman said as she bowed down to the ground. She was getting used to this and she just couldn’t stop it at all.“Please be at ease and rise,” she said and the woman did rise up.“I’m sorry to barge here like this but I need your help,” she said.“What kind of help do you need from me?” she asked, she didn’t want to pry for herself. She just wanted a free day without courting anyone’s troubles.“My names are Gina Hartley and I’m a widow. My husband recently died of an illness and I
“That’s the spirit. Jane will show you your room; did you bring any clothes with you?”“I’m afraid I didn’t.”“It’s still okay. On weekend, you will go shopping and pick some all necessities you will need. The maids will be going out too. You will leave with them.”“Thank you very much; I will be loyal to you.”“I’m glad to hear that. Just take care of my flowers for me and don’t do things that will make me regret for I don’t use the legal system for I am a judge myself,” she warned.“I do understand.”“I will leave the garden to you then but first wear some protective gear, I wouldn’t want any harm to fall on you,” she said and handed over the watering jug to Gina.“I will change immediately.”Talia left the green house and headed for the mansion. When she arrived, that young maid ran
The car came to the front and Beth opened the door for her. Talia went into the back seat of the car and Beth to the front. The car left the mansion while she pondered on her destination.“Have you thought of where you will be going?”“Take me to the amusement park,” she suddenly said.“Did you just say amusement park?”“Yes, I did, why?”“It’s crowded,” Bet said.“I know and I still want to go there. Am I now taking orders from you?” she asked angrily.“I’m sorry duchess, I was worried.”“Take me there and I want some peace and quiet on the way,” she said closing her eyes.It wasn’t Beth’s fault but she was just mad and she didn’t know where to vent it out to. At least if she visits the amusement park she had never gone to before she might feel better.She had always wanted to go but she n
She rolled her beads and forced herself to move forward but she knew one thing, if she was going to come next time, she would cancel the haunted house on her list.That was the first and last time she was entering such a house. She would try and punish the person who scared the hell out of her but that would be cruel. He was just doing his job and he was good at it.When she exited the house, she took a deep breath and saw a smile on Beth’s face. She could tell she was saying, “I told you so,” but she just let her celebrate her win this time.After the haunted house like she promised she began to find some food stalls to by some food.“There are restaurants over there,” Bet said pointing her to another direction.“I don’t want their food. I feel like having something forms a food stall,” she said and spotted one.She walked a bit faster and stood in front of the man who looked to be in his fift
People were taking pictures and even videos. He saw that Talia became aware of him and yet she didn’t even move an inch. The Talia he knew even for the past weeks she would welcome him home and was just as calm but this one was very angry.“Your Highness,” she said as she stood up when he arrived.“Talia, what’s going on here?” he asked her.“I’m waiting for him to prepare my food and the rest of their food,” she said and offered him a seat.“No, you can sit,” he said and she did.“So, what are you doing here?” she asked as if she didn’t know.“I heard about what you were doing and was worried so I came.”“Is that really the reason?” she asked him masking her anger with a smile. There were a lot of people and he wasn’t going to fight her here.“Your hot dog is done,” the old man said and gave it to Talia
THE LEGEND OF THE VIPERPROLOGUEThere were so many ways one could celebrate their twenty first birthday but never had she ever thought it would be this way. Dressed in a black beautiful and exquisite robe with the huge vicious viper on the back, she walked slowly and confident down the aisle as she went to her throne.The hall was crowded with her followers, children to the hilt; all wearing their specific colors. Behind her the Oracle followed her. The only sound that was present was that of the drums being played. She finally arrived and stood there.The two leaders among the Oracle stepped forward and everyone began to cite a verse she had seen and read from the ancient books. She didn’t really understand why they had to go to all the trouble.The whole thing took an hour before she was handed what was more precious. They handed her the box; from what she had heard, the box had

This couple came as a shock to everyone but they kept on fighting and loving each other more each day.“Thank you for joining us today,” Reporter Olivia Sawyer said as she smiled at her two guests who were seated right opposite her holding hands.“It’s our greatest pleasure to be having this interview with such a hot shot like you,” Jasper said with a smile that lit everywhere he goes.“So today we will be talking about some sensitive topics.

HIS LITTLE BRIDEPROLOGUEShe couldn’t believe what she was hearing at the moment. Was this some kind of joke or what? One thing was for certain though, this man never joked. She had known him for a month and she had never seen him making a joke or smile for that matter.The other staff had given him a nickname, he was known as Mr. Cold because of the coldness he emits wherever he was. She knew that he was a good man; it was just the circumstances that turned him this way which was also one of the reasons why she developed a huge crush on the man even when she fully knew that he will never see her that way.So, after all that assessment, why was he saying these words to her?“Are you joking sir?” she asked him as she staggered since she was standing on her two feet.“I am not a person who just jokes. I thought you said that you will help me wh
THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN LOTUSPROLOGUEShe sat crying by her mother’s side as she watched her breath fade away. She had been by her side all her life and now the invincible sacred lady was dying. How could she just die like that?“Mother, please don’t leave me!” she cried holding her hand.“I will always be there with you princess. Always remember that I love you and everything I did was to keep you safe,” she said.“Please don’t talk like that. Save your breath.”“I can see that your father is already waiting for me. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you, become much stronger no matter what you face in the future. Turn this mountain into something great and make everyone shake by the mention of your name. Don’t let them step on you ever. Remember that you are special child and you will always be in my heart
Talia couldn’t stop laughing as she watched her sister in law children playing hide and seek. They were so cute and lame. How could they be foolish like that?Because she was heavy, she was now moving around in a wheel chair and had been staying in the palace for a few weeks now. The queen wasn’t taking any chances. She was in her last trimester and she just looked like a huge ball.Her husband appeared holding her favorite dumplings and she shoved one into her mouth the second the plate landed on her thighs. She was enjoying her food so well when the pain started. She screamed and threw away the plate.“Baby, is everything okay?” Neal asked very worried.She looked at herself; feeling wet and she looked at down and saw the pool of water between her legs.“I think my water just broke,” she murmured.“Oh my god, she is going into labor!” Jane who was close called out.Whatever happened ne
The movie was an epic one and she really enjoyed it to the fullest. Holding her popcorn, she went out of the cinema after the movie ended and bumped into someone she wanted to see.“Fancy meeting you here Chloe,” she said feeling happy with what she was seeing.Neal suddenly came to a halt upon seeing Chloe. He didn’t understand what was happening but the look on his wife and Chloe’s wasn’t scary at all.“You are the person I wanted to see. Neal, you don’t mind if I borrow your wife for a few minutes right?” Chloe asked him and he just looked at Talia.“That’s good. Let’s grab something to eat while we are on it. I get constantly hungry nowadays,” Talia said.“Perfect, I am hungry too.”In disbelief Neal watched as the two ladies left smiling and not fighting each other at all as if they had been friends for centuries. He realized later that Chloe was with so
He stood there wearing round glasses like a true nerd; he just looked funny and cute at the same time.He was holding something that was too familiar, a red envelope. She snatched it from him and opened it. There was a letter just as she expected.“I hope you will continue to smile for your smile still brightens and shines the world that I live in. please cheer up and be strong. A”All along she had been receiving these letters at least five times a week. She had kept all of them well but never seen who sent them. She really cherished them and always wondered who sent them and yet he was in front of her all the time. He had loved her from the beginning and still did.“Did you write this?” she asked after reading the contents and he nodded in reply.“Why?” she asked him.“I’m sorry, I never meant for you to find me.”“Is that why you had
She looked at the scan and really saw it for herself.“I think I’m going to faint,” she said.“Lia, don’t!” her husband held her.She took a deep breath and looked at him.“It’s going to be fine, be at ease okay.”The scan came to an end and she couldn’t stop staring at the pictures. Why were they giving her so many children? Would she even be able to carry them to a full term?She looked at her bulging stomach, it wasn’t normal to begin with for someone who was ten weeks pregnant.Neal took his wife home; she wasn’t feeling well after learning about the triplets. They had never been a history of triplets in both of their families. This was new territory for him and his wife needed great attention now more than ever.The next day Neal woke and got ready to go to school. It was his last day of exams and he needed to get this over with and stay with his wife.
