"Nothing happened mama" I replied noticing her doubtful stare at me.
"Mama I swear" I added as she never said a word."Mama I'm resigning from the maid job in the palace today" I said as she was obviously surprised."The prince asked me to and I think it's wise I stop working there" I said."The prince really did good in asking you to stop working in the palace, I've thought about it and I think it's better you leave the palace to avoid being harmed by the queen or even the king, I fear for your life over there" my mother said."I will be goingThe prince rushed out of his chamber as he walked towards the exit of the Royal Mansion."Son, where are you rushing to at this time of the night, it is raining so heavily outside there" the king who was coming out of his throne room said at the sight of the prince leaving the palace.The prince rushed passed him without uttering a word making him more curious and at the same time worried about his only son's safety."I don't just get it, what is really wrong with this boy" the king soliloquized as the queen walked in with a curious look."You look worried my king, what's the matter?" The queen asked."The prince, my son, he is really behaving weird these days" the king said with his eyes still focussed at the exit of the mansion."What has he done this time?" The queen asked."He just left now without even informing anyone and to make it more scary, it is really raining heavily outside
MMA'S POV,I groaned painfully as I tried to sit up while looking around the room which was decorated with white curtains. Mama who had her head placed beside my bed raised up her head as she hastily stood up to help me out."My daughter, how are you feeling now?" Mama asked me with a concerned voice."I'm okay mama and I'm sorry for putting you through all this" I said as she shook her head in disapproval."No my daughter, all of this is never your fault, I feel so fulfilled as a mother to be able to be here for you so you don't have to feel guilty" she said as I felt like crying."Thank you so much mama, I love you so much" I said as I hugged her.The opening of the door made us disengaged from the hug as we were shocked at the intruder.She stared at us with a smiling face as she paraded herself towards us. I and my mother stared at each other wondering if she has come to finally put an end to me. The
QUEEN'S POV,I still can't believe Mma and her mother bluntly refused my enticing offer. Does that means they are not after the prince fortune or what. I laughed knowing so well they were only pretending."You mean they rejected such amount of money and also a blank cheque?" Chelsea asked still not believing what I just told her, even I myself couldn't had believed had it been I didn't witnessed everything myself."I guess this is becoming hard than I thought" Chelsea said as I nodded."Isn't that amazing?" We almost froze at the sound of the prince voice as he stared angrily at us."My prince you are welcomed" Chelsea said as I smiled but his dark aura made us stood still."You don't have to be surprised that she rejected your money, after all not all women are gold-diggers" the prince said as I stared at him wondering where exactly he was driving at."My prince I was just…""Stop it woman
MMA'S POV,Going to the palace to search for the prince is a no go area for me. My mother was almost lifeless yet no sign of any doctor or nurse to attend to her."Mama please wait a little longer, I will make sure you get treated" I said as I hastily ran out of the ward.I ran with all my might to Adaure's house, I think she is the only person who can help me talk to the prince as soon as.I was lucky to see her preparing lunch with her mother as they were discussing."Mma why running? Is any one after you?" She asked while staring back from where I was coming from."I want to speak with the prince, please help me out" I said while fighting to breath normal."The prince? Why?" She asked as I was in no mood to explain to her."My mother is at the verge of death and only the prince can make her live, please help me go to the palace and inform him that my mother is dying" I said."I real
She sneaked into the long passage that led to the emergency ward while looking at her left and right almost at the same time.Something was fishy about her movement though that was the thought of one of the nurse which ignited the said nurse curiosity to know what she was up to.Entering into the ward, she stared out to make sure no one was coming before gently closing the door."Hello Mrs Obi, the only wretched woman who wants to be the mother inlaw to the prince despite her background, hail thou great one" she teased with a smirk on her face."It's so unfortunate my dear Mrs Obi, I can't let you have a taste of the prince fortune" she continued while pulling out a syringe filled with white liquid."Good bye woman, in your next life learn to stick with your class" she muttered before injecting the content of the syringe into the almost lifeless woman.She stood up as she stared at the woman in satisfaction before gently walking
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
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
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
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
