With that thought in mind Stacy dashed towards the closest man, punching him before twisting his neck effortlessly. She killed one after the other,blood covered her clothes and wails of agony and pain could be heard from everyone she came across to. That was the scene that greeted the eyes of the three men who just dropped from the chopper. It had only been a span of five minutes since the girls arrived but the difference could be seen. Dead Bodies,severed body parts and blood lay on the ground giving the air a stench smell. The once beautiful Port courtyard suddenly turned to a war zone. Justin couldn't watch anymore. He hated these kinds of scenes the most. Upon seeing the place,he turned and wretched his guts out." Your highness,you could have just stayed back." Ronald said,his voice full of sarcasm. He was the prince of the country,the next ruler,yet he couldn't stand the sight of blood. How ironic!Miranda, who had been watching Stacy's movements from the corner of her eyes, cou
After the doctor recovered from his shock, he answered , " The young man is out of danger but has to be observed incase his wound gets infected." He said and strode away. Stacy could not breath at ease. She was worried that something would happen to gabriel. After the girls made sure that the guy was alright, they bid their goodbye and left with their partners. Now only Stacy remained at the hospital to take care of her man.She pushed the door open and entered the room as quietly as possible. She did not want to disturb his sleep. Stacy moved near the bed and pulled the chair closer before sitting and holding his hands. The remorse of letting something happen to him was gnawing at her heart, making her uncomfortable. It did not help when she remembered that Gabriel was in this case because he had tried to protect her by taking the knife. The sight of him lying on the ground,covered in blood made her take a memory lane back to the day she lost her younger brother due to a similar incid
Stacy hated this type of girl the most. Looking at her fake worry, Stacy felt disgusted. " I don't remember asking your opinion Cassy." Doctor Rose spoke coldly and from that conversation, Stacy could tell that the doctor was not fond of the lady. She must have seen through her cover. Cassy felt wronged but could only grit her teeth in hatred. If it was not for Gabriel, she would not tolerate this old hag but she could only suppress her anger and reply sweetly. " Aunt, I am just worried about Gabriel. As his fiancee, am I not allowed to worry." she said loud enough for Stacy to her while emphasising the word fiance. she had to let this bitch know that Gabriel was her man. How could doctor Rose not know what the scheming woman intended to achieve by saying that? she felt more repulsed for even staying in the same room as her. But she could not do anything. That was a decision made by elders and her husband seemed to be indulgent of this conniving bitch but she will never allow this kin
" I also think you should leave here immediately. Your life is in danger and yet she left you all alone and went to her business. Who knows, she might be meeting with her boyfriend while you lay in bed in pain." Cassy added, fanning the flames." Nobody asked for your opinion so do me a favour and shut your mouth before I throw you out of this room." Doctor Rose said sternly. She was getting irritated by the woman's irresponsible words. How could she not know what the woman was doing? After all, she wasn't born yesterday and could tell one's intentions with a single glance. Cassy who was reprimanded decided to shut it, she didn't want pushing her luck too much and besides, she had already achieved her goal. Gabriel was going home and that too without seeing the bitch.After settling the discharge papers,the three boarded a limo and went straight to the airport. While their Private jet was ascending high in the sky, Gabriel couldn't help the tightening in his chest. It felt painful, li
" Regardless,you should inform his guardian about that matter. It is of great importance. We don't want him landing in the hands of other terrorists. It's a good thing he already left the country otherwise the rebels would still make an attempt on him. We already have a lot on our plate. This is a crucial moment and we don't want any more distraction." Miranda said seriously. She knew that Stacy's office was soundproof so nobody could eavesdrop to their conversation. It was a matter of national security and had to be handled in the most discreet way." Talking on our current problem,I recently got information from my boys that the rebels are using the Morgan corp to smuggle firearms in the country. Is seems like they are preparing to launch another attack to the royal family." Stacy said seriously. " I still don't get it Miranda, why are you keen on protecting the royal family? We are your associates so the least you could do us tell us the reason why it's us trying to protect them an
But reality was too harsh." Listen little Miss, this was for the best. After you were born the royal family was under attack from time to time. Your mother was in poor health and giving birth to you lessened her life expectancy. Being the only heir to the Royal family, your mother asked her best friend who is now your mother to take care of you. You were secretly transferred from the palace to the Lambert family and Justin, who was your mother's adopted son, was taken to replace you as the king's son. I left the Lambert family and became the butler here to take care of you." Uncle Butler explained hoping that the princess would understand why she had to grow away from her family and why she had to hide her true identity." Princess,it's not your parents' wish to grow without their child but you had somehow to stay safe for the future of this family. "" Princess!" Miranda said and laughed bitterly. " Was it to just keep me safe or you only wanted the heir protected and keeping the li
" You will live long to see your grandchildren. '' Miranda cut him off. Regardless of whether she grew up in his care or not,he was after all her father m They say that blood is thicker than water. Despite her anger which of course she didn't show,she still held him special in her heart. It's no wonder she felt pulled to him and comfortable around him back when he visited her as a little uncle." I would love to believe so but I can feel your mother is desperate for my company. I never accompanied her enough and all I want is to join her and keep her company in heaven." The king said,his eyes turned gentle but had a hint of grief in it." You loved her!" Miranda stated her observation. It could be seen written all over his face. Her mother must have been the most precious person in his eyes." Very! It's a pity she left so Young." The king said and his eyes suddenly turned gloomy." Do you blame me?" Miranda asked again. She was afterall the reason her mother's life span was shortened
" Did something good happen?" Justin could only ask. He would never get used to a sweet miranda. It was until yesterday he saw how skilled his baby was. Be it in combat skills or shooting, he could swear that her precision was better than his.He was rumoured to be the best shooter but that was until he saw Miranda in action.She was talented in almost everything and that included driving him crazy with desire, just like what she was doing now. The worse thing was that even she did not know she had an effect on him . She was ever clueless." Nothing serious, just that I came to know that I am not the real daughter of the Lambert family." she said casually like she was reporting the number of absentees in a meeting. " what? you are not from the lambert family?'' Justin asked with disbelief laced in his voice. What was this? a soap opera or what. Was it the scene where the female lead discovers that she was adopted and angrily leaves the house feeling cheated? Maybe it was. He did not eve
After the glaring contest ended, Justin helped Ezekiel to the house. They all sat on the couches and silence reigned in the house. No one said anything, nothing could be said either way." Now that we have found Ezekiel,I think we should leave the couple alone. I am sure they have a lot to say to each other." Miranda finally proposed and they all agreed. Minutes later, only Ezekiel and Lucia remained in the house." Why honey. Why didn't you tell me?" Lucia tried to gather her composure and try not to break down in front of Ezekiel. At this point,she understood that he needed her support more than ever." I thought this is the best way to not burden you. I knew that I would lose my eyesight anytime soon. I am also about to leave this world. What's wrong with wanting to spend my last days alone?" Ezekiel replied. He didn't like this topic but he knew he couldn't avoid talking about it either." If it was me in this situation, will you abandon me?" Lucia Inquired calmly." Ofcourse I wouldn'
One week. Two weeks and the news about Ezekiel's whereabouts never reached the girl's ears. They followed the lawyer who was the legal advisor of Ezekiel and the Hawk construction company but never got to trace Ezekiel. The newly appointed CEO also refused to say anything about Ezekiel's whereabouts. The secretary knew nothing about his boss' departure.Lucia tried begging Ezekiel's parents but they refused to talk saying they respected their son's decision. The four girls were seated together with their fiances and husbands. They had tried looking everywhere for Ezekiel all in vain ." He must be somewhere in the country. I already checked every record from the airport. Ezekiel never Left this country,but where could he be hiding?" Miranda wondered out loud."Isn't there a place, Maybe a property he bought secretly?" Ronald asked Justin who had a contemplating look on his face." Now that you mention it,he once talked about a beach house he liked and was planning to buy. Back then he
While they were still contemplating on where to start their investigation,the doorbell rang." I'll get that, " Ava said, walking downstairs. Looking through the peephole,they saw Lucia's parents standing at the door,worry evident in their eyes. She opened the door and offered them a polite smile." Aunty, uncle you are here." She greeted with a bow." Yeah,we came as soon as we got the letter. What's happening here my daughter?" Mrs Mendez asked. To her,the four Ladies passed as her daughters." A letter? From Who?" Ava asked, puzzled." From Ezekiel. He said he wanted to officially break the engagement and set Lucia free. He also talked about taking care of his daughter for him." Mrs Mendez replied." It seems he was really prepared to leave." Ava mumbled but her words were caught by Mr Mendez." What do you mean dear, where is he going and why does he have to cancel the engagement if he would be coming back." Mr Mendez asked, puzzled." Aunty, uncle it seems like Ezekiel is not com
" I Know by the time you get this letter I will be away,far away from you and my daughter but will be thinking about you.I am sorry my love,I know sorry will not fix anything and you must be cursing me for being a scumbag, which I am .I love you Lucia but I will not become a burden in your Life just because I love you. I set you free,live your Life and take care of our daughter. I already sent an engagement cancellation request to your parents and explained myself. I hope you can forgive me.All arrangements for her future have been made,you don't have to worry about her finances, ofcourse I know that's the least of your worries.I left a video,let her watch it when she turns twelve,tell her that Daddy loves her the most and most importantly, don't come looking for me."Ezekiel.By the time she finished reading the letter, streams of tears were flowing down, wetting her clothes. So that's it? Was that the end of it all? Why didn't he wait for her and tell her those words instead of l
, After dropping Lucia off to work, Ezekiel went straight to the office. He had a few things to do before taking his leave away from his family, his love. He ringed his lawyer and instructed him to prepare a ownership transfer of all his properties, including the company.He also called a number and when the call was connected,he briefly said. " Meet me at my private Villa by the beach tonight."Arriving at the office,he called his secretary to give him a few instructions." I have transferred ten percent of the company shares to your name. I am resigning and never coming back. Please be here to guide the person who will take over after me and probably when my heir finally succeeds, support him too. Take care of yourself and your young madam while I am away." Ezekiel instructed his secretary to widen his eyes in astonishment." Boss,are you going anywhere? Why don't you let me accompany you?" He asked. After working with Ezekiel for years,he had gotten used to him. Their relationship
Ezekiel thanked the doctor for keeping his health condition from Lucia but the doctor informed him that he did it for her. Seeing that she was pregnant and knew nothing about his condition,he decided to keep it a secret from her. He then urged him to break the news to her because according to his diagnosis,he barely had two months to live. Ezekiel assured him that he would definitely discuss the matter with Lucia and thanked him yet again before leaving to Join Lucia who was waiting for him in the waiting lobby." That took you a long time to just say thank you." Lucia commented. He had been gone for fifteen minutes which according to her was a long time for just a thank you." He was occupied and I had to wait for him." Ezekiel replied casually trying to keep a straight face. Lucia didn't probe further and dropped the topic. She was so exhausted and jet lagged that she went to bed immediately after they got home.After ensuring that she was asleep, Ezekiel took his phone and went to
Tomorrow marked the second week of their long vacation. Ezekiel was very secretive of their last destination. He told Lucia that it was meant to be a surprise for them and he didn't reveal until they were receiving their boarding pass. Upon checking their last visiting destination, Lucia's eyes widened with both surprise and excitement. Of all places, Ezekiel decided to close their vacation by taking her to Africa and precisely to Kenya,her dream country." Honey,did you do this on purpose?" She asked,tears of happiness streaming down without restraint. Ste was deeply touched by his consideration. Along the way he had taken her to places sfe wished to visit but she never in her wildest dreams think that he would take her to visit Kenya as their last destination. She couldn't help but kiss him In Front of the people." This was supposed to be our vacation, not just mine. I have known for a long time that you have always dreamt of visiting that country so I chose it as our last destinat
The following morning, Ezekiel was the first to wake up. By the time Lucia woke up,she found Ezekiel ready with two packed suitcases." Good morning my Queen." Ezekiel greeted pecking her lips." Morning." Lucia replied, eyeing him then added," going somewhere?" She inquired. Yesterday,he didn't mention going anywhere. What was more surprising was the fact that one of the suitcases belonged to her." Yes,we are going somewhere." Ezekiel replied with a smile on his face. After last night,he figured out that before going to meet his maker,he might as well fulfil some of the wishes piled up. He had always wanted to tour the world with the woman he loved. He still had like three weeks before completely losing his sight,he might as well take advantage of that available time and fulfil that wish." You didn't mention something about that yesterday!" Lucia stated." I decided on it overnight. I want to take you on a vacation as we tour the world together. After this month,I'll be busy with c
Lucia had this unsettling feeling that something was up with Ezekiel but she couldn't say what exactly. How did she know? His frequent out of mind moments. She had caught him staring at her with pity filled eyes. Sometimes,his expressions would spell sorry. She couldn't quite understand why he looked sorry towards her.Pushing those thoughts at the back of her mind,she decided to go prepare something for him to eat once he woke up. He had been the one taking care of her all these days so while he rested, she figured out she should return the favour. Another reason was because she had noticed that his body was declining and his appetite poor. These days,he hardly eats anything and would always say he's full. That was alarming according to LuciaShe cooked his favourite chicken rice and veggies. She didn't forget to prepare pumpkin soup which was known for increasing appetite.Evening came and Kiel had slept for six good hours, something that added more to Lucia's suspicion. Despite how
