It was time for P.E so a group of people were in a corner of the field playing basketball, some were playing volleyball, some were stretching and others were playing football.
On the other side of the field were the royals and of course Prince Andrei sat on one of the bleachers playing with his phone looking terribly bored.
He had no friends because most of the guys were in Damien’s gang and the others were his puppets.
After he caught his ex girlfriend Serafina with his cousin, he severed all ties with him and became friendless but he was still very much popular with the girls.
He sighed in relief when the coach blew his whistle and dismissed the class then everyone dispersed.
“Hey look at Prince Andrei.” Lucy tugged on Anna’s arm.
Anna turned to look at the prince but only saw his retreating back sauntering towards the other exit of the field.
“Yeah so?”. She looked uninterested.
“Why do you always not see him in time?”. Lucy accused.
“Maybe...because I’m not meant to see him at all?”. She asked in a duh tone.
“Can I tell you what I think?”. Lucy asked.
If she said no ,Lucy would ask anyway.
“Shoot.” She sighed as they walked off the field.
“I think that you’re scared to see his face.” Lucy beamed.
Anna stopped walking and stared at Lucy then she burst out laughing. “What!?.” She stared at Lucy in shock. “Why would you think that?!.” She chuckled.
“You’ll probably fall in love with him if you see him.” Lucy quipped.
“Please”. Anna scoffed. “Even if he tells me he’s Justin Bieber... I won’t fall for him. I don’t even like Justin Bieber that much.”
“Justin is lit I tell you.”
“Whatever.” She huffed.
“Wanna bet?”. Lucy asked.
Anna rolled her eyes. “You know I don’t like gambling.” She reminded her.
“Tch! it’s not gambling.” Lucy said. “Come on Anna!.” She gave her the puppy eyes.
Anna grunted in exasperation. “Okay fine!. What are we betting on?”.
Lucy beamed. “By the end of this week... you’ll come face to face with Prince Andrei and you’ll be speechless.”
“Hmmn…I can see you losing”. Anna grinned. “How much?”.
“Two thousand.” Lucy replied.
“Game on.” Anna said and they shook hands.
During lunch time Anna remained in class to finish her essay homework which was to be submitted at the end of the last period and by the time she finished, it was just ten minutes left for lunch break to be over so she stuffed her books into her bag and rushed out of the class.
She ran towards the stairs but as she turned the corner, she bumped into something hard or maybe it was someone? But she didn’t have the time to analyze it as she found herself falling down the stairs with the person.
“Ow!”. Anna cried as she hit her head on the last stair. “Ow!”. She sat up slowly and rubbed the back of her head and hoped that she didn’t injure herself any where else.
“Can’t you watch where you’re going?!”. She snapped. Her eyes were closed so she didn’t see who it was.
“Excuse me?!”. A shocked velvet voice bristled.
Her eyes flew open and widened when she realized whom she’d rolled down the stairs with.
Andrei freaking Sebastiani!.
Anna tried to scramble to her feet but she cried out when a sharp pain shot up her leg and she fell back on her ass.
“Fucking serves you right.” Andrei snapped then stood up and dusted himself. “ You have four goddamned eyes but you can’t see. Fucking awesome.” His voice dripped with sarcasm.
“Excuse me?”. She glared venomously at him. “You should apologize for bumping into me.”
“Are you high on something four eyes?.” Andrei bit out. “You bumped into me...not the other way around.”
Anna remembered someone else from a long time ago who’d called her four eyes so it made her furious that this jerk had the guts to call her that even though she was literally wearing glasses.
“You’re an idiot!.” She spat.
Andrei gasped in horror. “Did you just call me an idiot?. How dare you? Do you know who I am and what I can do to you?”. He was livid. No one in their right mind had ever called him names.
“Am I supposed to know you?”. She asked haughtily. “You’re not Jesus Christ or are you?”.
“I can have you beheaded you know?”. He asked.
“I’m shaking in my boots.” She sneered then raised her hands up for him to help her up.
Andrei stared at her hands but he couldn’t stop his eyes from going to her chest.
She was unfortunately not like those girls who wore tight fitting shirts although hers was not too tight or too big and her skirt was even covering her knees!.
“Go fuck yourself bitch!”. He spat and started up the stairs.
Anna gasped in mortification then removed one shoe and hurled it at his head and she didn’t miss.
“Jerk!”. She fired back but hoped the shoe had not hurt him that much. It was converse so it probably didn’t.
Andrei turned around to glare at her making her flinch. He marched down the stairs and grabbed her by her jacket lapels to her feet then pushed her against the wall.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?!”. He growled.
“You’re hurting me! Ow!.” She cried and hit his chest with her fists but he was all muscle and didn’t even flinch. Instead he grabbed her hands in one of his holding them hostage. “ Let go of me!”.
“And if I don’t?”. He questioned with a smirk. “You’ll call the police?”. He leaned in close.
Anna’s breath hitched in her throat as she inhaled his masculine scent. She really liked his cologne.
“Are you high on something Lowan? What the fuck?!”. She mentally scolded herself.
“I’ll hit you where the sun doesn’t shine.” She raised her leg for emphasis with a smug smile on her face.
Andrei looked down at her leg and imagined both of them wrapped around his waist as he pounded into her as if his life depended on it.
“what the hell Mitch?!.” His subconscious growled at him.
He looked back up at her smiling face wishing he could wipe the smile off it but he released her and stepped back before he’d do something crazy...like kiss her fucking tempting heart shaped lips.
“What’s your name?”. He demanded.
Anna raised an eyebrow at him. “So you can report me to your father and have me scourged?”. She asked mockingly. “No thank you.”
“I doubt that you’ll survive being beaten.” Andrei said. “ But never mind. You look like my doctor - doctor Lowan.”
“She’s my mother.” Anna said.
“Ah so you’re the precious angel she’s always talking about.” Andrei eyed her over and nodded. “Jean Anna right?”.
“Yeah so?”. She asked impatiently.
“But you’re no angel.” Andrei said. “You’re more like an untamed tigress.”
“My leg is literally killing me and all you can think about is what animal I’m like? Are you for real?”. She scowled at him. “You’re not only a jerk but a…”.
“Get on my back and quit yapping.” He cut her off harshly and turned his back to her then crouched a little so she could get on his back.
“Now you’re talking.” Anna crowed and got on his back tightening her arms around his neck as he straightened. “Good boy.”
“Shut up.” He ordered and took her downstairs.
If shock had another word to describe how the students felt when they saw the crown prince of Mercia giving plain Jane Jean Anna Lowan a piggy back ride to God knows where and she had a smug smile on her face then that word should be used.Quietly they followed behind him till he got to the infirmary and they stopped to watch as he pushed open the doors and went in then they started muttering among themselves.
Immediately Anna opened her locker, she was surprised to see a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates – her favorite one to be exact which made her frown because no one else apart from her parents and Lucy knew she liked snickers so who could it be?.“Wow”. Lucy said from behind her when she saw the flowers. “You have an admirer.”Anna scoffed. “More like a very annoying little pest called Andrei Seb
“Here you are.” Sera said as she pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.Andrei stared at her with a frown wondering how she found him. He’d left the palace knowing she was bound to look for him there and now she was here.She was like a bug that wouldn’t leave him alone no matter how he swatted at her.“What do you want again Sera?”. He asked.&
Anna looked everywhere for Andrei on Monday but couldn’t find him. She’d made a noncommittal promise to her mother on Saturday that she’d try to befriend Andrei even though she hated his guts but she’d not been able to get their conversation out of her mind so she decided to just go ahead and see if it’d work out between them...as friends.She almost gave up until she saw him coming out of the swimming pool complex and&nb
“I’m still waiting for my check.” Sera reminded Andrei.Andrei frowned. “What check?”.Sera rolled her eyes. “Wanna start acting dumb now or do you want me to tell your precious Jean Anna about the bet?”. She threatened.“Go ahead.” Andrei said, smiling smugly. “The two of us are friends now.”“Whatever. I still won.” She flipped her hair out of her f
Lucy’s birthday party was fun and Andrei could say he really enjoyed himself and of course ate a lot of cake.Girls wanted to take pictures with him and he let a few of them but after that stuck like glue to Jean Anna’s side and for the first time she didn’t seem to mind and Infact danced a lot with him then they sang Lucy’s favorite song Meghan Trainor’s “Like I’m gonna lose you”.
Anna began to wonder why she had offered to let Andrei stay in her house for the night as she tried unsuccessfully not to continue checking him out as they watched a movie.She was dressed in her PJs while Andrei was only in his jeans having pulled off his shirt earlier very well displaying his toned muscles and mouth watering abs.“I’m hot.” Anna said. “Aren’t you?”.
“Anna!.” Andrei alighted from the car and ran over to meet her and Lucy who just walked into the school premises having missed the school bus causing the students to turn and watch Andrei catch up to them.“What do you want Andrei? I told you I don’t want to talk to you.” Anna said.“I’m sorry okay”. Andrei apologized. “It was wrong of me to do that.” He sighed. “I just couldn’t help my
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.
