"What did you do to Princess Serafina?!". Mitchell demanded immediately Andrei stepped into the living room.
Andrei was shocked and froze on the last step leading into the room. His father was very livid and he had a whip in his hand which he didn't notice before, until he really looked at it and his brows raised so high, he was scared they might disappear into his hairline.
"Uh… are you going to use that on me?
"I'm going to have these three guards whip him five times each and everyone of you is going to count out loud the numbers." Mitchell told them. "If you falter...they start all over again. Understand?"."Yes Your Majesty." They chorused."Good." Mitchell beamed. He faced the guards and motioned the first one forward which he did. "If you falter… you're dead. No mercy." He threatened."Yes sir." The guard nodded.&nbs
Anna was talking now but her voice was not the same as before. It was husky and unfortunately she couldn't sing very well anymore."Andrei overdosed on his painkillers." Lucy told her."What?". Anna croaked out. "When was this?"."Yesterday. He was found in his bathtub this morning hardly breathing". Lucy replied.Anna covered her mouth as tears pooled in her eyes and dropped. "What ha
"What's going on?!". Anne demanded as she rushed into Andrei's hospital room and saw two doctors trying to hold him down so a nurse could inject him again. "Wait!". She went over to the nurse and took the syringe from her. "Don't inject him again.""But Dr..", The nurse began.Anne shook her head. "I'll talk to him". She said. "Andrei! Andrei, calm down. It's me Dr Lowan." She took his hand in hers and rubbed slow circles on his palm
"Well?!". Bianca probed staring at the two teenagers. One looked scared and the other was indifferent as always.Andrei sighed in exasperation and shot Bianca an icy glare. "What are you doing here?". He bit out. "When I needed you, you weren't there and now that I have no need of you..you don't want to leave me alone."Bianca frowned not liking his tone of voice especially in front of Anna. "I just talked to doctor Gomez and&n
School vacated for the Christmas holidays but Andrei went to school just once and that was the day school closed. He was... different.He looked different with his shoulder length hair, dark circles under his eyes and he looked thinner than the last time Anna saw him which was two weeks ago after the glass vase incident.She tried to talk to him but he practically ran when he saw her coming towards him &nbs
Andrei entered the palace and he felt strange as if something was going to happen and he wasn't going like it so when he found his father waiting for him in his room as he walked in and with him were two guards… Andrei knew he was toast."Where've you been?". Mitchell demanded."I went out for a walk." Andrei replied."Before or after I sent Arielle to get you?". He asked.
Andrei fell terribly sick after he was released from the well and had to spend a week in the hospital.School resumed a week after new year but he couldn't go because he was recovering and he hated his father more for that.His mother tried to get back in his good graces but he paid her no mind and just pretended as if they didn't exist. He never said a word when they talked to him an
"Happy belated birthday sweetheart!". Andrei exclaimed behind Anna making her jump."What...What's going on Andrei?". She looked around shocked. "It's not my birthday.""She's celebrated it already". Lucy chimed in, looking confused also."I know." He pouted. "I missed it, remember?"."Ah!!." Both girls nodded in understanding."So I want to do it again." Andrei told her.
A year later"Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today in the sight of God to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Not to be entered lightly, holy matrimony should be entered into, solemnly and with reverence and honor." The priest began."Into this holy agreement, these two persons come together to be joined. If any person or people here can show cause as to why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or 
Three days later Sera's car slowed to a stop behind the big mango tree when the car she was trailing also stopped in front of a wooden shack in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Mercia. She waited until Arielle alighted from the car and walked into the shack before she alighted from her car, shut the door gently and locked it then gently and quietly ran through the trees to the side of the shack very thankf
"What's going on?". Andrei rushed into the house immediately Lucy opened the door for him. "They just won't stop crying." She replied. "We've tried everything we can to make them stop." "Maybe they're hungry." He said walking to the living room where he met Anna's father rocking one of the crying babies in his arms. "I had to call Anne." Justin sighed. "She tried giving them food from the bottle but they
Andrei and Damien walked into Pinetop supermarket and went straight to the counter ignoring the people that were queuing up waiting to pay for their items but fortunately no one said a word about his intrusion because he was the Crown Prince and future King of Mercia."Hello." Andrei greeted the cashier."Your Highness." She curtsied surprised to see him. "How can I help you?"."My fiancee, Anna Lowan ca
Sera was surprised to see Arielle at her front door by 11pm with two big luggages when she opened the door and from the look on Arielle's face, she knew it had gone bad with Andrei."Can I come in?". Arielle asked in a shaky voice. "I didn't know where else to go." She sniffled."Um... Sure." Sera stepped aside to let her in and helped her with her bags then closed the door. "Are you okay?".
Anna heard Andrei talking to her parents outside her bedroom but didn't bother getting up to go and see him already knowing that he'd come looking for her and as if on cue, her bedroom door opened and he walked in dressed in all white; white t-shirt, white denim jacket, white jeans paired with white Nike shoes. He looked like a dangerous angel."Hey babe." He closed the door and walked over to plop down on her bed."Hey."
Andrei walked into his room, closed the door and let out a tired sigh. He rolled his head to release the tension in his neck and sighed again.He'd dropped off Anna and the quads at her parents place, paid Damien a brief visit and came right back home to see his father whom he had a little chat with until his father became tired and had to rest so he stayed a little while with his mother.
"So I hear congratulations are in order." Sera slipped into the seat across from Andrei. Andrei looked up at her from his phone. "Hello Sera." He said. "Hi." She smiled. "You look good." "So do you." He said. "How have you been?". "I should be the one asking you that. Imagine my surprise when I heard that you eloped with saint Anna." She chuckled. "I expected something like that from you
"Your Majesty, the Prince is back!". A guard rushed into the living room to inform Bianca. Bianca closed the magazine she was reading to frown at the guard. "Which Prince?". She asked. "Prince Andrei, Your Highness." The guard replied. "Are you very sure?". Her heart raced in her chest. "Yes...he's very sure.. Mother." Andrei said from behind the guard who bowed and left.
