FinnThere were lots of things I needed to do at the academy. Having known that the tests would take place soon. As the principal, I had to make proper arrangements to ensure everything was taking place properly.I made several supervisions for how it was to be carried out. But then, Everest was on my mind. I recalled how I had made a promise to her. I was certain that her friend must have vacated the building by now. I decided I would go check it out myself and also see how Everest is doing since she had insisted on seeing her.I headed to the room. I realized it was partly opened. Just when I was about getting in I saw how they had embraced one another so firmly with smiles on their faces. That was indeed, emotional. I must say that on seeing them, I got moved by their reactions. Their friendship was a unique one and I could see the love in their eyes. The whole place was covered by warm emotions that caused me to stare at them. It was to an extent I didn't realize when I let out
FinnMy prince, that is the situation we have on ground right now." The moment he informed me, I got really curious to go see what he was actually talking about. He made mention of finding the culprit who had wanted to kill Everest. And here I was getting so pissed and at the same time, I was impatient to crush such a person. There was a certain location, he said the culprit was. Just then, I couldn't wait to set my eyes on such a person. What I had intended to do was more dangerous than I imagined. It was a good thing I was informed in time. My bodyguard and I headed to the location where the culprit was. The moment I got there, I saw one of the royal maids confessing her crimes. Stating, she was the one who had plotted to kill Everest. She was trembling in fear and her whole body shivered. Having seen all that, I couldn't help but laugh. I could tell that the maid who was confessing wasn't the culprit. From mere seeing her, I could tell she was going through alot and had no such
FinnA month laterThe examination was already on going. I felt a bit anxious and also curious to know how far Everest had gone with studying. I had full confidence in her that she would definitely make me proud. Despite the fact that she did not have much time, she tried as much as possible to be consistent. She has been rather busy these days. I needed to know what she was up to this time so I went ahead to peep on them.They were both unaware that I had my eyes on them. And just as I had thought and expected, Everest was studying so hard as if her life depended on it.I was certain of the fact that she was very smart and also intelligent, I knew it wouldn't be difficult for her. And the fact that she had Adrienne at her side I couldn't ask for more. They were both comfortably studying so hard together. I had my eyes on them for about half an hour and got to realize that Everest wasn't too good in math. And for the fact that she had Adrienne beside her, she was able to put her thr
Finn“Wow! Wow! That's more like it!" He applauded in excitement.I stared at him."That's not all!"Caleb furrowed his brows in surprise."There's more?"I shook my head in certainty. "Yes, Everest is carrying my child." I informed him.Caleb got shocked as he widened his eyes and mouth in surprise. He stood stiff.And so he later blinked his eyes repeatedly, as he exclaimed."What did you just say?"I sighed."You heard me right, she's carrying my child."Caleb was in the same state of shock. He turned left and right wards and cleared his throat, as he showed off a serious look. "But how did it happen?""It's a long story. A very…very…long one to be precise.""Oh..! Now I remember. Months back you had spoken about somebody spitting your drink. I can relate!.That implies that the incident had something to do with it right?" He asked.I was in no mood to speak much. "Absolutely! I bet you do understand now."Caleb sighed."Of course, I do! Okay then, Since you knew you were gonna be a fath
EverestIt's been a month of ceaseless examinations, my brain seemed to have a mind of its own. I felt a bit relieved today.After a series of tests and exams, finally I have the last paper to write. I heaved a sigh. I never thought a day like this would come. A day when I would finally put an end to all my stress.At first when I had started, I felt like it was never gonna end. It had seemed a bit stuffy and also hectic, it was all easy all thanks to Adrienne. She had always been by my side and had also assisted me while we both studied together.At that point in time, I was excited and felt relieved that I was able to carry it out along with her.But then, I was curious to know how it would all end. I had anxiety in me as I imagined how the last paper would be, despite the fact that I was confident about all the tests and examinations I had written.I lowered my head, staring at my belly at the same time I placed my hands on it. All of a sudden I got emotional.I rubbed my hands
Everest “Thank you so much for the words. It has done alot to me, you know. And I feel much better right now." I felt grateful.Adrienne smiled Likewise."Come on…, you don't have to thank me. I love it when I see you smile. And just so you know, you don't look good whenever you're sad, so cheer up!" It was about time we began the last exams. I was full of confidence that I would make it just as Adrienne had assured me. We headed to the hall together as we stood at our various positions and waited to be given instructions by the invigilators.The invigilator stood before us. "As you all know, this is your last paper in the academy. If you know you're with anything that could implicate you during the examination, do well to do away with them immediately. I will advise you to go out now and drop any sheet of paper and whatsoever you came along with." He instructed, making the announcement just as he used to whenever we're about to begin the examination.Just when we were about to beg
Alice Just as the inspection was going on, I had my eyes fixed on Everest. To my greatest surprise it was taking much longer than expected. I decided I would wait patiently to see the very end of it. But then, I just hoped it isn't what I think.I was certain of the spot at which I had placed the piece of paper. Everest was rather confident as she stood.What does she think of herself? A hero? Never! that would never be! Not when I'm still alive. I muttered. Indeed, she was very lucky that she didn't get to die in my hands at first but this, she won't escape.After all my efforts, she thinks she was actually gonna write this last exam and go Scott free? Impossible! I felt they weren't searching properly. How long does it take for them to get the piece of paper out of her body? How long? I no longer had patience to wait any longer. I just felt like standing up on my feet, giving them directions on where they could get the piece of paper or better still pointing out the location be
Alice“This must be yours.” She stretched forth the piece of paper to me. I was surprised and wondered what had contained in the paper and for the fact that she had handed it over to me, it was indeed mine.I stretched forth my hands as I collected it. And at the same time, I was curious to know what was in it. I opened it up. I exclaimed in a shock as a result of the content in the paper. From the look of things, this was the exact paper I had placed on Everest's body. But the question is, how on earth did she find it? How then, did she get it? I wondered in surprise.I glared at her.``So it was you! You took the piece of paper away!" I yelled in anger as I clenched my fist. Adrienne burst into laughter.I frowned."What's funny?"She chuckled."You're funny of course! Here you are reacting like a vagabond. You haven't learnt a lesson yet. I thought you were going to change but you still remain the same as a matter of fact, you got worse than I ever imagined. Alice, what the hell is w
SeleneI couldn't just get what was going on. It's been several months since I set my eyes on Everest and now that she had returned, she was acting strange all of a sudden. I could say that I was completely in a confused state. As a matter of fact, It was so terrifying to behold. I just couldn't explain what it was all about. I stood still watching all Everest did and could say nothing. I watched her being taken away. Afterall, I didn't give a fuck.Miss Phoebe folded her arms as she stared at me. "Are you just going to stand there?" I sighed. "Of course I am. What on Earth do you want me to do? Do you expect me to run along?"Miss Phoebe chuckled. "You're unbelievable! Don't you know what she's going through?""As if I cared."She glared at me. "Just so you know, Everest is suffering from an illness, a severe one. She has schizophrenia!" She announced.Her response turned out to be a shock to me. I widened my mouth in surprise as I exhaled. "Schizophrenia?"She shook her head."Yes
Finn “I…am…Emily!" Caleb also burst into laughter."So you were the one who had taken Everest out of the academy huh?" She shook her head. "Apparently. Well, the academy was so boring to stay in and so I was in need of something to keep me busy or better still give me fun. And you know how that can be. I can't imagine that brother could be so blind, he was blind that he had suspended the innocent girl without making proper investigations. And if only he did a proper investigation, he would have known that it was Alice behind the whole thing. Caleb furrowed his brows in surprise."Alice behind the whole thing?" "Yes. And not only that, she had also tried to kill Everest but ended up killing one of the contestants." Having heard her response, I was shocked. I was amazed she knew all of this all along. And heard I was still investigating and was unable to trace Alice. What then, have I been doing? I wondered in guilt. Caleb folded his arms as he stumped his feet."I said it! I kn
Finn Seeing Everest go through such pain made me feel a huge sympathy for her. I felt hurt to see her behave in such a manner. She was completely innocent after all. And once again she had to go through such trauma. It's so sad that I couldn't do anything. And even if I were to do something it won't change anything. As she had stood before me with a smile, I was helpless and totally devastated. The only way we could calm her down was only when she black out. I can imagine the pain she was going through. I clenched my fist in anger having recalled the response which my parents had made concerning her, and to top it all, right before my presence. After she was knocked out, she was taken into a private room so she could take some rest. But then, I spent some time with her before I decided to return to the palace. Having seen her in such a condition I got really pissed. It was all absurd. It turns out that she wasn't lucky after all. Caleb and I returned to the palac
EverestOf course I know! And so also you are my only friend." "You actually came at the right time. I know you would never lie to me but rather tell me the truth. Everyone here seemed to say things which I don't understand. Tell me what they had done to Elena. I want to know where Elena is at the moment. Is that why she's in hiding, what did they do to her?" Adrienne smiled gracefully."Everest, you don't have to worry. They did nothing to Elena. Absolutely nothing! Oh goodness! Is that why you're panicking? Come on! Cheer up now, Elena had stepped out. She went on an errand. As a matter of fact, she went to get you a surprise gift. Besides, I'm not supposed to tell you because it was meant to be a surprise."I heaved a sigh of relief and burst into laughter as I let out a perfect smile, facing the others. "You see, I knew it! After All, I knew I wasn't insane nor was there anything wrong with me in the first place. So why would you all say that I'm mad, that I had lost my sanity? E
EverestAfter a series of pains and tears I let out, I couldn't keep up any longer. I was as weak as a cat. While in search of Elena, I shouted and shouted but there wasn't a response. She didn't turn up anymore. I was confused and devastated. Totally exhausted!In my current condition, it isn't advisable as a pregnant woman to move about in such stress and tension. It could equally affect my unborn child in any way. There was no way I could stay back any longer. And having recalled all that happened, my heart hurts.I moved towards Miss Phoebe. She stood still as she watched me search for Elena. On second thought, Elena must have returned home. I concluded. All that had mattered to me was to find her as soon as possible.And from the look of things the perfect the place to find her would be at home since she was nowhere to be seen around the arena. I would use the opportunity to confirm things for myself.I stared at Miss Phoebe with a sad face as I reached out to her. "Miss Phoe
Everest I staggered backwards in shock as my heart raced heavily. I widened my eyes in shock, it seemed my senses were failing me. What was all this? No! No! This can't be happening!! My heart beat changed completely, the fast rhythm felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. Paraventure If I was told such a thing would happen on such a special day. A day which I hope I would never forget as a result of the excitement I felt, I would never have believed. Who would have thought it could happen? There I was overwhelmed with Joy not knowing that my past would come hunting for me in the future. I must say that indeed, everything had worked out according to how Alice had planned. She let out a sinister smile as she displayed it. The more the audience spoke harsh words, pointing a finger at me, the more excited she was. So this was her plan all along? The moment she stated she had something to say to the audience, my heart skipped though I had no idea what she was gonna say. Deep
Everest You don't have to worry, I'm here for you." "Prince Finn! Leave that insane lady immediately and return to your seat, now!" The king commanded, yelling at the top of his voice. I trembled in fear. The prince didn't make a move. But the look I got from everyone was terrifying. They all stared at me like some piece of trash. Staring at Alice once again, she was having a smirk on her face. Adrienne on the other hand stood aside in fear, I could tell that she was worried and tensed for me but could do nothing. His parents had gotten furious already. They couldn't stand my presence any more. And I very well know that what got them more pissed was for the fact that their son had supported me even when they had declined. Even after receiving support from Prince Finn as I tried to get on my feet, I just couldn't. My legs were shaking massively that even I myself had no idea of what was going on. Thank goddess that he was beside me and had also chosen to stand by me. But the
FinnI welcome you all to the twenty-first anniversary of the Luna academy, where the winner of this year's competition will become the Luna. And according to our principles, the second best would be allocated to the remaining princes. So also goes for the third best and the rest, they would be allocated to the other royal princes and the Betas." We all applauded at once with smiles on our faces. Not only did he make a welcoming speech but also made references to the royalties who were present. My identity as the prince was revealed. Mister Roland cleared his throat. "And now, the moment we all have been waiting for. The winner of this year's competition is none other than….." he kept quiet as he let out a perfect smile. My heart raced heavily, everyone shivered in curiosity. Some had closed their eyes and were also curious. I had to place my hand on my chest so I could relax and by doing so I heard the sound of my heart beat. "Is… none other than… Everest Luthar!" He screamed o
Finn I heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing I was able to sum up confidence to tell Everest about my identity. Else, I can't imagine what would happen. She was absolutely right about my fears. There was no way results would be announced that my identity won't be revealed. Though, I saw this coming so I was fully prepared. But to my greatest surprise she laughed over the matter. Here I was thinking she would be really upset with me but little did I know that it would turn out this way. Just when I said it out, I felt a great relief. Now I bet she would be really confident and happy to have me beside her. Finally! This is the day we've all been waiting for. Deep within me, I was full of excitement. As a matter of fact, I couldn't get yesterday off my mind. The moments I spent with Everest made me happy and made me impatient to witness tomorrow's event. I must say that I was in a good mood. I ordered a limited collection. They were of the latest designers. I was certain tha
