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 limo left and headed for the CBD. Talia wanted a pizza so he was going to buy her one. The food court was inside the shopping mall, so they climbed out of the car and while holding hands the two of them made their journey to look for the pizza den. There was a long line and he just couldn’t use his power there but the benefits of being a royal member he got served first.He made the order for two large chicken tikka pizzas and the two waited for them inside. The feeling of waiting just like others was fascinating even though he knew they would be making his order first.His wife was busy having a banana this time and didn’t seem to care at all. By the time she gives birth Talia would be a very big ball and that would be quite fascinating. The thought of it made him smile.“What’s funny?” Talia asked.“I’m just happy that you are happy dear,” he said and gave her a peck on the cheek which made her blush.
She returned inside the mansion and went to her bedroom. The plastic bags were already on the bed. She removed them exposing the boxes inside. There was no note so she opened the first box and smiled.There was a white gown with embroidery of golden flowers and leaves. It was somehow creative, who would have such a thought? The outer robe was emerald green just like her eyes. It seemed whoever sent this knew her pretty well.The outer robe had matching golden flowers too just like the inner gown. She moved to the next box; the box contained her headdress. The headdress included several hairpins that formed a nice crown of flowers once pinned on the head.The next box had a pair of nice emerald green heels; she could see some diamonds sewed on top. One would kill for the shoe she thought. The last box’s contents were a golden clutch and her name was printed on it.Her name was like the design of the clutch and she felt very touched. If she could know
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.
