~Prince Randall~ “What? But you made it clear that you weren’t interested in ruling. Why the sudden change of heart?” Alpha Don, one of the Alpha asked in confusion, while the rest nodded in support of his question. Trump on the other hand left his jaw dropped and was speechless. “I have come to realize that I am the true and only one that the throne needs. After what happened today, I have come to understand that I can’t run away from my responsibilities or try to push them on someone else. So, here I am, as the worthy one to reign. “The coronation will commence after my mother, Anne, is discharged. That’s final.” I said and turned to walk away from them. Daciana took rapid steps after me. “Randall, are you sure about this?” She asked, and I looked at her. “There’s one thing I’m sure of and that is that I don’t want Trump on that throne. It was all part of my mother’s games and I’m not going to let her win. The best way to do this is to seize the throne before it falls into the
~Daciana~ The Next Day I couldn’t visit the hospital anymore because the phone Randall asked me to fetch wasn’t there anymore the moment I got back to the palace. I thought so hard about it. Maybe Anne must have taken it but I couldn’t remember her being with the phone before the fall from the stairs. There were zero to no chances of her getting it. If she didn’t take it, then who did? Who else knows about this secret phone?This left me wondering and it disturbed me so much. I had yet to tell Randall what I had discovered. I wanted him home first. Anne would be discharged today if she wasn’t on her way home already. The only chance of me finding that phone is now and I don’t think I’ll ever find it. I had turned her room upside down just in search of this stupid phone. I stood in front of her room door when I suddenly began to hear movement downstairs. I hurried to the window and I saw Randall’s car and other cars driving in. ‘Speak of the devil. She’s back.’ I hurried out o
~Daciana~ After we were done in the shower, Randall went to talk to the Alphas of the kingdom about his coronation, while I decided to put all differences aside and go and see how Anne was doing. Getting to her room, I met the door slightly open, and from the space provided, I could see Mr Trump standing. He was having an almost inaudible conversation with someone, who I believed was Anne. Judging from the look on his face, he was pretty paranoid. ‘What are they talking about?’ I thought, moving even closer. I leaned forward and placed my ear close to the door, hoping I’d hear something… anything, but then, I realized they stopped talking again. I peeped in through the space and that was when I saw Mr Trump staring at me. My heart sank as I hastily moved away and knocked. “Why are you knocking? It’s not like you haven’t been standing there for a while.” I heard Anne’s voice from inside the room, and I proceeded to open the door wider. “I haven’t been here for a while. I just go
~Prince Randall ~I rushed back to the living room, my heart racing in my chest as I stood at the door. “I’m sorry, Alphas, but this meeting needs to end now. I have to attend to something right now.” I said to them, and without waiting for them to respond, I ran out of the living room, heading to her room. I felt so scared to knock on her door because I knew she was so mad at me. She had never cussed me out before. Never. I began to pace in front of her door, thinking of what to say to her if she opened the door. I breathed out deeply with my mouth and slowly moved closer to the door. “Babe,” I called in a low tone, expecting her to yell back but she didn’t. “Baby…” I knocked again. “I know I fucked up, but please can you at least give me a chance to explain?” I further asked. I placed my ear against the door and that was when I heard her sobbing quietly. “Sh*t,” I muttered, reaching for the doorknob. I turned it and to my greatest surprise, the door opened. It wasn’t locked t
~Daciana ~As I scrolled through my phone, I heard my door open. Knowing it was Randall, I didn’t hesitate to speak up. “Baby, the wedding dress testing appointment is tomorrow. Are you free? We should go together.” I uttered with a faint smile before raising my head. But when I saw his face, my faint smile slowly faded away. “What’s wrong?” I asked, and before I knew it, he fell on his knees in front of me. My eyes widened in shock and I was unconsciously glued to the edge of the bed by his action. “Babe, why are you kneeling?” I further asked, hoping whatever he was going to say wasn’t going to hurt me more than I already was. “Daciana, I just heard something from my mother. I don’t know if it’s the truth or not, but right now, all I need is for you to trust me. I want you to believe that you own my heart and no matter what happens, I am always going to be in love with you and you alone.” His words made me more scared and I could feel my heart thumping against my chest as he s
~Lily~ As I sat in the back of the car, I stared out of the window as nostalgia hit me. It was like I never left. I could remember everything like it was yesterday. Our favorite coffee shop, restaurant, and even park. I could picture ourselves lying on the grass and staring at everyone else doing their own thing. I missed the feeling and I wanted to feel that way again. Maybe my coming back would bring all my wishes to life.“Mom.” My son, Kendall called, stretching his cookie box out to me. “Please, open it.” He said excitedly, causing me to smile widely. I opened the box and handed it over to him before taking my time to stare at him. I was glad Anne reached out because I finally had a chance to answer all of Kendall’s questions. He often asked who his daddy was, and why he wasn’t living with us, and he could even ask if his daddy loved him. If only he knew that his father had no idea that he existed. I heaved a loud sigh and looked out of the window. Just then, my phone began
~Prince Randall ~“I can’t believe you still remember you have a friend somewhere,” Branden muttered, judging me as hard as he could. “Branden, I know I haven’t been a good friend to you these past months. I’ve been busy with other…” “Uhm Uhmm…” He cut me short. “I’m not going to accept that. You chose Daciana over me, and you know what? I’m fine with that. I mean, seeing you in love is crazy. And the whole fake death thing, that was a very good one.” I heaved a loud sigh and poured myself another drink. “I thought we talked about this already. That’s enough about me. Let’s talk about you. How have you been?” “I’ve been well. Being going out of the kingdom frequently on business. So don’t think I thought about you a lot. We both have been busy. “I met this girl when I was out of the kingdom. Oh my, Randall, she is gorgeous!” “Really? My eyes widened. Tell me more. Love is beautiful. Did you talk to her? Did you collect her phone number?” I asked eagerly, and he scoffed. “No, I
~Daciana~ Another message popped into my phone and when I checked, it was Randall, sending me his long text messages like he had been doing every morning, afternoon, and night for three days straight now. I excitedly showed the message to Carl again. “You see? I told you his text was going to come in! It’s been the same pattern for three days now.” I uttered with a wide grin as he stared into my phone. “And you’re glad he is consistent, aren’t you?” He asked, and that was when I realized I was supposed to be mad that he was reaching out instead of giving me the space I waved, but I couldn’t be mad at him. Not for so long. “I mean, It shows he cares about me, doesn’t it?” I took the smile off my face immediately. “Daciana, even if he didn’t send you these long messages every day, I need you to know Prince Randall really cares about you, okay?? I know you were hurt by what happened, but you need to know it was above his control. And he did what he could do at that moment to make y
