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 doctor had been with her for thirty minutes and she still wasn’t out. Was she that serious? The doctor finally came out smiling and he wondered what that smile meant.“Doctor is she okay?” he asked.“The duchess is fine. She is just exhausted. She wasn’t getting much sleep lately, I guess. She is sleeping so be at ease now,” he said.“That’s good news then. When will I be able to see her?”“You can go and see her now but I need to tell you some other news too.”“What is it?” his mother asked.“It’s good news, my queen. The duchess is pregnant and the fetus is stable. She mustn’t be stressed from now on or else we won’t be lucky next time.”“You mean she is..?” he asked and couldn’t finish.“Yes, she is. We will get an ultra sound after she wakes up but for now let her sleep and rest.”
It was a bit early to tell the press so she was going to wake till she was up and well and take it from there. She switched on the TV only to witness Talia doing the unthinkable in the park. When did she even go there?The response was quite good considering the fact that she humbled herself and ate at a food stall. People liked her which was good. It would have been bad if the reaction had been negative. Her head began spinning.She was going to be busy these coming weeks. She had nurseries to prepare even that were the job of the mother. She would just steal it from Talia. She will allow her to be willful at least this once. &nbs
When he came out of the hospital going to where the car was, he met reporters. He had no idea who slipped out the news that they were in the hospital but thankfully the guards were well prepared. They shielded them from the trauma of the reporters and they climbed into the car safely.The driver took them straight to the mansion where everyone had prepared a huge surprise for them.Talia cried when she saw how happy the staff was for her. It wasn’t overboard but it was touching. He carried her upstairs where their bedroom was. He couldn’t remember the last time he took her to bed. He really had missed his wife and it took him another incident to realize it.He tucked her in the bed and made sure the pillows were adjusted well.“Are you hungry?” he asked her.She looked at him and said, “I’m sorry for scaring you. I never meant to.”“I know. Let’s just forget about everything and start afr
Because she needed some peace in the house, her nursery had been put on hold. They would only continue while she wasn’t in the mansion like now. Talia followed the queen to the nursery room and fell in love with it.It was beautiful filled with neutral colors that didn’t discriminate anyone. The ceiling was covered with stars and was just appealing even to the elder’s eye.“I love it, it’s beautiful.”“I hope the child will love it too,” the queen said.“The child will. After all you put so much effort into making it.”“What else can I do? This brings me so much joy. I can’t wait for the baby to come.”“It’s early but time passes by fast,” she said.“Oh, I know it does. Let’s take a walk now, the paint is still fresh and might affect you,” the queen said and she was touched.She didn’t even register it in her
How long had it’s been just being the two of them having a nice chat without any fight like this? Is been a long time. He missed her and he wanted her but he was afraid of hurting her since she was pregnant.Talia turned her head towards her husband and saw the look in her husband’s eyes. She might be new to this but she wasn’t a fool to not notice what he wanted. For the first time she gave herself courage to initiate the first contact.It felt weird having her lips touching her husband’s. It’s been long since they were intimate and she was afraid he wouldn’t respond but to her surprise he did. Not only did he respond but he picked her up and she sat on top of his thighs straddling him.She had never been in this kind of position with him before. She turned around to check if anyone was looking; the driver but there was a screen between them.“It’s okay,” he said and pulled her face to his.His
Talia greeted every single one of them even though it was tiring. But the more she did it the more she realized why they stood there.“I’m honored to have you wait here for us. Thank you very much but as for the reason you all waited here, I will meet you one by one as the things we have ordered get loaded,” she said.“Good idea,” Neal said.They entered inside and they gave her the manager’s office for the consultation.“I will be outside; you just do your thing and don’t stress. We don’t want anything happening to the baby,” he said.“I will be careful. Take care,” she said and Neal left the room.The staff began to enter one by one and she began to help them in a way she could. Some wanted to know about their future, others just wanted to enquire. What she could help with she did.They were coming to an end and the last one entered. Beth gave her the bottle of
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
THE BLACK ROSEPROLOGUEThe magazine crew had just finished applying make up to their two interviewees they had just started interviewing a few days ago. As one of the top magazine company K, they strived to get the best of the best for their exclusive special edition magazine for the following month.Their two guests happened to be the hot couple that had been trending for two years now. 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. I hope the two of

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.
