" Thank you, father." Justin politely received the cup of coffee from his father's hands. It's not always that the king treated him to a cup of his favourite beverage. Although he felt that something was awfully wrong,he still enjoyed the coffee to the last drop. His father may not treat him right always but whenever he did,he would make him feel special. After everyone was done with their drinks,the room fell awfully quiet. No One said a word until the king cleared his throat to gain the attention of the two.

" I have something to confess to you Justin." He started and Justin's breath was caught in his chest. The feeling of dread increased rapidly hearing those simple yet complex words. " Yes, father." He responded, his voice soft. The King lowered his head in shame. He was finding it hard to look Justin in the eye without feeling the guilt gnawing his heart. He had lied to the boy for as long as he can remember,it was not intentional but that did not mean he wasn't guilty. " You are

    " You don't harbour any resentment or hate towards me son, afterall I caged you here making it impossible for you to have a normal life?" The King wanted to be sure that his son harboured no ill feelings. Justin could see the uncertainty in the king's eyes so he walked back to him and side hugged him. " Father,I really don't have anything against you, if anything,I should thank you for raising me with love and care. I enjoyed the title and privilege of being a royal,I can't be any luckier." Justin said, his voice full of conviction and gratitude. He couldn't get angry at the man who gave him family,love and care for all those years." Don't you want to know your family?" This time, Miranda asked the question. She had not asked the king about the roots of Justin but that didn't matter to her. Irrespective of where he came from, she would never let go of him. Hearing her question, Justin was stunned and then shrugged nonchalantly. " I don't think I need to look for my real family. I don

    One second. Two seconds.ten seconds. Thirty seconds. One minute. It took one plus minute for Justin to process the new Information Fed to him. His mind was shutting down involuntarily like a computer that has been invaded by a virus. Like,was life playing a joke on him? He was sincerely happy that he was no royal but he knew what it meant to be One. How could he be happy with his woman miraculously turning out to be one. His work life was already dramatic, he didn't need drama in his real life." Wait, what?" He practically roared, causing the king and Miranda to flinch at his offending noise. " You heard me right, Miranda is the princess of the family. She was separated from us for her own safety." The King explained. He wasn't sure what was with Justin today. When they expect him to be angry, he's relaxed but the moment they expect him to be maybe happy or relieved,he seems... Sad? He couldn't tell." No no no! This is not happening right? I must be dreaming, I swear." He entered a

Her words were sweet like honey making his whole body smell of sweetness.

    " protect yours?" Miranda caught the slip in his tongue and probed.Nikolai cursed inwardly. He almost let his stupid mouth reveal everything. It did not help that the princess was watching him with hawk-like eyes anticipating his answer." Protect my prince of course." Nikolai masked every expression and answered. He knew that his answer was unconvincing but there was no way he would say the truth." Are you hiding something from me?'' Miranda asked dangerously and Nikolai almost shivered from the coldness of her voice. He knew that she was not the kind of lady anyone would want to mess with. He had seen her in action. How she had made men wail in pain and that was the last thing he wanted to experience." What's with the questioning? don't make it sound as if i am your boyfriend and am hiding secrets from you. I am just extending my help to you. That does not mean I have to tell you everything about me." he defended himself." you better not do anything to cause harm to my justin ot

    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.

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?"

    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

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.

    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
