To say I was surprised on the prince attitude was an understatement.
"I need an advice from you" the prince said as I looked up at him.
"An advice?" I asked unsure of what I heard.
"Yes an advice, you've been in this kingdom more than me so I know you must know the problems of this kingdom" he said as I nodded.
"So tell me, what do you think this kingdom needs most?" He asked as I was confused on what to say to him.
"Uhm my prince, I don't think I'm in a position to give you an advice" I almost stammered.
"Are you saying that I made a mistake in seeking for your opinion?" He asked as my heartbeat increased.
"No my prince,I think what the kingdom needs more is a good source of education, children trek to kingdoms far from us just to attend school" I voiced out while praying he doesn't flare up.
I was surprised when he placed his left hand around my shoulder, I shuddered why wondering the reason for
PRINCE POV,"Son, don't you think building a school and also a hospital at the same time will cost you much money, you have to think this through first" My father told me as we were discussing in his Chamber."Dad I planned for all this before coming back, I'm a medical doctor dad and helping the sick is the only thing that keeps my sanity that's the reason I want the hospital built as soon as possible, as for the money if that is what you are concerned about, I will handle everything, money is not the problem here but you and your elders cooperation" I explained."Okay, what can I say, I've already informed my elders about the school and they are happy about it, I will inform them about the hospital tomorrow, I know they will be more than happy with the news" the king said as I nodded.I sigh in anger as the queen herself paraded herself into the king's chamber. I cursed within myself while watching her sit beside the king.
MMA'S POV,Visiting my mother during weekends is what I always look forward to every week, I hastened up my feet when I sighted the small hut I and my mother lives in."Mama I'm back" I shouted once I entered the empty room we use as our sitting room. I stopped and searched the room with my eyes when I heard no sound."Mama" I increased my voice but there was no response. "Did she went somewhere without locking the doors?" I asked myself as I kept the cellophane bag containing foods I was holding on the ground and went outside. I sat down on a log of wood we usually use to relax outside as I wondered where my mother might have gone to.I was taken at the sound of strange noise coming from the bathroom at the extreme of our compound which I ignored. The sound came again and I was curious to know the cause of the noise. I took a long stick near me as I gently walked towards the bathroom ready to strike any intruder. My eyes widen at the sight of my mother in the bathroom struggling wi
PRINCE POV,I knew something was wrong but I couldn't place my hand on any solid fact, the Mma I know is always bright but the one I saw today was dull and something about her countenance was so dark."I shouldn't be bothered about her anyway" I said within myself as I stood up to leave my chamber.Walking out I met Osondu who was heading towards the kitchen."My prince" he called with his head bowed."I want you to follow me to somewhere important" I said as he looked up."Where my prince?" He asked."The site for the school have been provided, I want to see how vast it is" I said as I walked pass him. Mma's POV,I met an empty room but that was what I needed most as I don't need any noise at the moment, I lied down on my bed but was interrupted by the sudden voice of Miss Margaret.I stood shocked wondering how she managed to locate my room as she is not one who visits the
Prince POV,I was heading towards one of my personal car when I suddenly had the urge to drink water."Wait here, I will be back" I said to Osondu before going back into the mansion. I located the kitchen after asking few servants.Entering into the kitchen, I was met with a hurtful sight which made me to intervene, the surprised look on the face of the maidens was visible but I was not moved. I knew what I just did was unlike me but I had that feeling to protect her."Get me a bottle of water" I said as I left the kitchen in a haste."I only did the right thing" I said convincing myself that what I did was not something unusual."My prince, I guess you missed your way to the kitchen" the voice of Osondu interrupted my thoughts as I stopped."No" I said and started heading towards my chamber."As for you escorting me to the site, you don't have to worry again, I will call you whenever I need you" I
PRINCE POV,I was satisfied with the progress of things at the building site, the school was situated close to the hospital, my phone buzzed indicating an incoming call."I have to pick this call" I said to Osondu as I handed my palmtop to him before walking away."Sweetheart" I said as I heard a chuckle from the other end of the call."My prince" my girlfriend said from the other end."How are you over there, I hope they are not treating you bad?" She asked with a concerned voice as I smiled."Not at all, as a matter of fact, I am at the site right now, the school and hospital is almost ready and I can't wait to have you back" I sat down on a block beside me."I can't wait to be with you too, I will be back once everything is ready" she said as I whined."Why can't you come back this week, your man can't wait any longer" I heard her laugh while I imagined her deep dimples which must be displaying now."Honey, I have few things to take care of before coming back, you know I love you r
Mma's POV, The dust that escaped from the house when he opened the door was unbearable as we closed our face with our hands. It seems like ages since the house was cleaned. He walked in with his hand placed on his nose as he helped illuminate the room with the aid of his mobile phone. He opened the windows as the dusts lessened giving me an opportunity to finally get in with the cleaning materials. I stared round the room as all the items and wall was covered with dust. I gradually walked towards a drawing board which was covered with a piece of cloth. "Wow" I was mesmerized by the sight I met on the drawing board. "That was my mom best piece of art" he said as I felt his breath on my neck. I shuddered at his closeness, he gently smiled while cleaning the canvas with a piece of cloth. "This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen all my life" I exclaimed not being able to hide my excitement. "
Mma's POV,I felt intimidated by the goddess that just entered the dinning room, Osondu almost tripped while staring at the gorgeous woman, her expensive dress, earrings and ornaments shows that she is a woman of high caliber."Good morning my king, good morning my queen" she greeted with a smile which made her dimples more visible."How can one be this beautiful?" I asked within myself while watching her calculated movements, everything about her seems special and with class."Good morning my daughter" the king answered while the queen reciprocated with a smile.She went towards the prince who was busy with his food and pecked him before sitting down beside him.I felt myself getting jealous at her action which made me wonder why I was jealous in the first place."I heard you are the daughter of Chief Magnus from Ikwerre kingdom?" The king suddenly asked as the lady looked up and smiled."Yes my King"
Mma's POV,Mum looked okay to me as she ate from the plate of food I gave her."Mum you don't look bad like the last time I visited, so tell me what's the secret?" I asked her as she smiled before sipping from the cup of juice I served her."This tastes really sweet, I want more of this" she said."There is more inside, I guess the herbs from mazi Uche is really working" I said not being able to hide the excitement in my voice."Far from that, the prince is really a Godsent in the life of a poor sick widow like me and the community at large" she said as I stared confused at her."The prince, how?" I asked curiously."A hospital has been built for the community by the prince, don't you know about that?" My mother asked still focused on her food."Wow, that's good news" I exclaimed happily."I went there and I was diagnosed, they said I have breast cancer""What's breast cancer?" I wa
𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗩,I stared at the young lady before me without saying a word, she coughed trying to get my attention but I took my stand."Hi" she said while waving her palms before me."How can I help you?" I asked with no glimpse of smile on my face, her presence was obviously upsetting me, to think she has the guts to visit my office still surprises me.She searched through her bag as I stared suspiciously at her, she finally brought out a perfectly wrapped cup of pills arousing my curiosity to the core."What's this?" I asked while staring directly at her."That's why I'm here, there are many doctors in town whom I can consult but my spirit lead me to you" she said while staring at the cup in her hands."I had an accident six years ago, it was a terrible one which cost me my memory, I'm suffering from amnesia, I can't remember anything about my past life" she said confusing me the more."So how does that concerns me?" I asked as she looked up at me, I looked away from her not w
CHERRY'S POV,I felt jealous while watching him smile at the jist of one of the ladies in the conference hall, I huffed while wondering why I was even concerned on who he was talking to.I felt like the ground would swallow me when I sensed him coming towards my direction."Hi" I felt like I was in a trance at the sound of his voice."Hi" he said again as I finally turned to his direction with a fake smile plastered on my face."Hi" I replied while trying to comport myself."Are you sure you are okay? You look kind of distant" he said while staring intently at me, I looked down in order to avoid his steady stare at me."I'm okay, I'm just not used to conferences" I lied as I noticed a pitch of smile on his face."You sure?" He asked with a mocking tone."Yes" I replied."Or are you uncomfortable because of me" he added as I hastily looked up at him."What makes you think so and why should I be
KING'S POV,I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched her walk elegantly around the hall."I can't believe this, she really looks like the Mma I know, she must be the one" I soliloquized while watching her every move.." The king himself" the voice of Mr Otumba brought me out of my thoughts as I stood up to reciprocate his extend of a handshake."I'm very surprise seeing you in my party because I can't remember ever inviting you" Mr Otumba said as I swallowed hard enduring his indirect insult."What can I do, since the mountain refused to visit Musa, Musa has no option than to visit the mountain" I said as he smiled before sitting down on the seat opposite me."The toad does not run in the daytime for nothing, so tell me what you want from me?" He asked as I sat down."I came for peace, your company has been threatening to sell your shares in my company to the Nelson's group of companies and you know very well Nelson's group of companies is my company number one enemy, so I wonder why"
CHERRY'S POV,The glassy walls of the gigantic building met my eyes immediately I entered the company, no doubt everyone present was captivated by my beauty and sophistication as all eyes was on me. I walked gorgeously towards the receptionist not minding the lingering gaze from the employees after all I'm used to people staring at me right from when I was in the state."Is my father on seat?" I asked the receptionist who looked up with a glint of smile on her face."Yes ma" she replied."Tell him I'm here to see him" I said as I kept myself busy with my cellphone."Ma, you can go in" she said after placing a call to my father."Please follow me" she said as I followed her.I smiled as I met my father busy with some files on his table."Dad" I called excitedly as he looked up and flashed me a smile."My princess" he said before standing up to hug me."Dad, I was worried when you said you wanted to see me urg
TWO YEARS LATERPRINCE'S POV,She smiled exposing her dentition as she went about welcoming the guest, her hourglass shape was the desire of all men, she occasionally twitched her fingers while demonstrating her words showing off her high level of sophistication, no doubt Cherry is the pure definition of excess beauty.He grimaced why watching her every move which seems to add to his level of confusion. How one could change totally within six years is what he is yet to unravel. He knew for sure that the gorgeous woman walking sophisticatedly around the hall is definitely his long lost love Mma but what he is yet to know is how she turned out to be the only daughter of a multi-billionaire who just finished her education abroad."Hi" he was interrupted as he turned to meet the owner of the voice.He was captivated by her deep smile as she stretched out her hand for a handshake. The Mma in front of him i
Prince POV,I still can't believe Mma left me with no awareness. She has disappeared with no trace of her."Dad I feel like dying, I can't bear this" I cried deeply while holding on to my father, he has been my pillar of support since the mysterious disappearance of Mma."Son you don't have to cry because of a woman, you are the son of a lion and lions don't cry, you should be happy she showed you her true colour" my father comforted me as I looked up at him."Dad tell me she will come back, I will die if she don't, I can't live without her" I felt like I was in a dream which I pray to wake up from."I'm sorry son but she is not coming back, you have to accept the fact that she was only after your money and move on, she doesn't love you" the king said as I shook my head in disapproval."I don't believe you, Mma loves me so much, I guess she travelled and she will be back in no time" I tried to give hope to myself."S
PRINCE POV,One week of being a nobody was like hell to me. I mumbled inaudibly remembering the look of pain from mma when I walked into her compound empty-handed one week ago. To say that life has been hard was the least words I can use to express my situation. Feeding from hand to mouth is definitely not what one should ever experience."My prince I hope you are not thinking again?" Mma's voice interrupted me as she stood at the door with a basket of vegetables."Off course I am, I can't believe my father actually has the heart to disown me" I said as she gently walked towards me."My prince, I feel guilty because I know all these happened because of me" she said as I looked at her."No Mma this is not your fault, I love you and that is all that matters" I said as she shake her head with tears from her eyes."Loving me is not enough, don't you see what is happening? How can we survive this situation, things ar
MMA'S POVI stared dumb at the prince not believing what I just heard."Mma marry me, let me make you the happiest woman on Earth" I turned at his voice as he knelt beside me on the mat.I was shocked not believing he was actually proposing to me because I just rejected his advances towards me."My prince I'm sorry I can't" I finally replied as I could notice a visible shock on his face."Why?" He asked while staring directly at my face."Because I can't, look my prince my mother just died so I don't want to make any decision that will endanger my life beside you just said this to make me give in to your sex demand" I couldn't believe I was bold to say that. I guess the challenges of life really thought me to stand up for myself.He chuckled while staring romantically at me, no woman in her right senses won't fall for the weird prince in front of me. I couldn't believe that behind that strong-willed and serious prince is also a player type of prince. My mind drifted as I started imagi
MMA'S POV,It hasn't been fun to me since my mother passed away, it still felt like a dream to me but what can I do? She has finally left me to fight the obstacles of life alone.I sliced the onion while waiting for the oil to heat up. I stared out at the sound of the Prince's car which drove into the compound. He has been my comforter since the departure of my mother as he sometimes spends the night with me in my little hut."Welcome my prince" I greeted as he stared silently at me."You look dull, don't tell me you've been crying again?" He asked with his eyes fixed on my face."I'm okay" I replied while trying so hard to be strong."You should be, mama won't be happy to see you sad like this" he said as he walked towards me.He placed his hands on my waist as I shuddered before gently disengaging from him."I feel like easing myself" I said before walking away. I was stopped by a strong grip by
