~Prince Randall~ After Daciana fell asleep, I headed out of her room, and back to the living room. As much as she was hell-bent on catching whoever did this, I was too. I need to question this Trisha girl. I slammed into the couch and began to go through her profiles on social media, hoping that was going to give more hints that she did it. “Randall,” I heard my mother call from behind and I turned to look at her. “Hey Mom,” I responded with a smile. She moved closer to me and sat before looking into my phone. “What are you up to?” She asked, and I let out a sigh. “Honestly, I’m not sure. Daciana and I built up a theory about the person who vandalized the restaurant. I’m going to follow up to see if she truly did it.” “She? You mean a woman?” She asked in shock and I nodded. “Crazy, huh? I mean, a woman is the only one who would have so much hate for a proposal. It’s just so crazy. I’ll be heading to her house to question her.” “I would love to come with you.” She answered, a
~Daciana~ After A WeekThe news of our wedding day spread like wildfire across the kingdom. In a week’s time, I’d be Randall’s wife, and the thought of this made me extremely happy. I felt like the happiest and luckiest woman in the world. However, I had noticed that anytime we talked about our wedding plans, Anne didn’t seem to be very interested. Or maybe I was just overthinking, but her attitude towards me has changed drastically since she got back to the palace. It wasn’t like I cared though. I just wanted her to stay clear of my relationship with Randall. For the proposal crime on the other hand, Randall told me it wasn’t Trisha, and I was sorta relieved, even though it meant we still had an enemy out there. The last thing I wanted was another drama with Trisha. “Babe,” Randall muttered, looking at me. “Yes?” I looked at him and saw he was showing me a wedding dress on his phone. “What do you think?” He asked, with a wide smile and I grinned hard. “Wow,” I muttered. It w
~Daciana~ I can’t believe Anne was behind the destruction at the restaurant. Everything now made sense. She knew about the surprise, she took the key from Randall without him knowing and went there to destroy the decoration. All for what? ‘Because she hates me?’“I need to let Randall know what kind of woman she is. But before I do that, I need to have more evidence.” I headed out of Randall’s room with the shoes and headed straight to Anne’s. I had this gut feeling that she was heading something in that big chamber of hers, and I’ll find out and tell Randall all about it. She would be the one to leave this palace, not me.Getting into her chamber, I began to search everywhere for anything suspicious. Inside the drawer, under the bed, and even inside her closet. There were so many things to look through but I took my time. I knew she was going to be too busy standing at Mr Trump’s side so I had time to search thoroughly. The drawer had nothing so serious. They were just filled w
~Prince Randall~ After my mother returned to the hall, I expected Daciana to be with her but she wasn’t. I asked her and she told me she wanted to get something from her room. I kept waiting and waiting for her to show up, but then she didn't. After a while, I decided to excuse myself from the coronation to check up on her. Walking into the palace, I saw my mother roll down the stairs, hitting the floor with a loud bang. “Mother!” I yelled in terror, running up to her. I looked up and saw Daciana on the second floor, lying on the floor and staring down. “What have you done?!” I yelled, grabbing my mother off the floor. She seemed to have lost consciousness. “Mother!” I yelled again, but she didn’t respond. Hastily, I lifted her off the floor and rushed out of the palace. “Randall! Babe!” I heard Daciana call out from behind me. But I ignored her and kept running to the car. I put her in the back seat and hopped into the driver’s side. I was about to ignite the engine when the
~Daciana~ I stood next to the bed, watching Randall stare at his mother for a while. Looking at his face, I could guess there were so many things going on in his head. He needed a moment of silence and deep thinking and I gave him that. I was so happy I was able to tell him everything on my mind so that he could see Anne for who she truly was. In the hallway were the people from the coronation. They couldn’t continue without the presence of the Royal Family, so a few of them had to come down to the hospital to wish Anne well. Mr Trump, my Mother, and other Alphas of the Kingdom were kept out because Randall insisted that only both of us should be in the ward when she woke up. “Ran…” He raised his hand, cutting me short. “She’s opening her eyes.” He said, his eyes glued to her face as he spoke. I looked at her and he was right. Her eyes were opened, and she stared at the ceiling for a minute. She turned her head to look around and when she saw Randall, she instan
~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
~ Daciana~ After a year. We sat in the living room. Randall and I. And in his arms was Darian, who also seemed so interested in what was showing on the television. It was pretty funny that he had a favorite show at age one already and it was Cocomelon. He loved the show so much that if it came on, he’d stop crying and begin to giggle. I looked at Randall and he looked at me with widened eyes. “What?” I asked, and he looked at Darian. “He’s giving those low groans again. I think he’s going to…” All of a sudden, Darian pooped all over his garment and my eyes widened. “Poop.” He completed his statement and we both burst out laughing. Darian looked at us in confusion and suddenly began to laugh too. “I’m so sorry. I should have used his pampers. I had no idea he’d poop again so soon.” I uttered, carefully carrying him away from Randall’s arms. “It’s okay. I’ll just go and wash up.” He responded, holding the helm of his royal garment and lifting it so the poop won’t mess the floor
~Randall~ After eight months. There was a meeting with the Alphas of the kingdom and we all sat in the waiting room when all of a sudden, a maid dashed into the room panting hard. “Your majesty! Your majesty! The Queen… she is… her water broke.” She said, shivering profusely.“What?” I spanked to my feet running out of the meeting room. Getting out, I saw two guards, each on both sides holding her as she walked. “Baby.” I ran towards them, taking her from them. I placed her arm over my shoulder and grabbed her by the waist. “Randall, the baby…” she stuttered and I could feel fear in her.“It’s okay. We will be in the hospital in no time.” I tried to calm her down even though my emotions were all over the place. I was scared too. Getting to the car, the guards helped lift her up. My driver hopped into the driver seat and I sat with her holding her hands and comforting her as she groaned. My driver drove as fast as he could and we got to the hospital in less than 15 minutes. I c
~Carl~ I got an invite to a party at the palace. I was personally invited by Daciana. I wasn’t sure what the party was about, but I was sure she seemed super excited about it. I wouldn’t miss it too because this is the first time she has sounded so happy after Anne’s death. “Baby, are you ready?” Bonnie asked, spraying her body with some cologne. To my greatest surprise, she told me I could bring my plus one, which is now Bonnie. After the proposal dinner, I finally got to talk to Bonnie and we seemed to click instantly. I realized after speaking for a while that we had so many things in common. I asked her out on a date that very day and since then, we’ve been super cool. “Baby!” She yelled from the room again. “What?? I’ve been done for more than twenty minutes. I’m waiting for you to finish.” I responded in a loud voice, looking towards the room. “Why didn’t you answer me then? I thought you’d headed out to the car already.” She replied, walking out of the room. As soon a
Lily~ Leaving the palace, I headed for Brandon’s house. I had Kendall in the car with me because I knew he was going to help me get back to him if it got too difficult. “Mummy, when are we going to see Uncle Brandon again? I miss him.” Kendall uttered, and I raised my head to look at him through the rear mirror. “I know you miss him, baby. I miss him too. But, guess what?” I asked with a wide smile, facing the road again. “What? Are we getting Ice cream?” “What? Why would you even guess that?” I chuckled, looking at him through the rare mirror again. “Because you buy me ice cream every time I talk about Uncle Brandon.” He responded, and my eyes widened in shock. “I don’t do that all the time.” I tried to defend myself even though I knew he was telling the truth. “Yes, you do. But it’s okay, I love ice cream.” He replied, reaching for his phone. “Trust me, Kendall. It’s not the case anymore. I promise you, you’ll get ice cream and you’ll also get to see Uncle Brandon.” “Real
~Daciana~ It was a week after Anne's funeral and I was yet to tell anyone, even Randall that I was pregnant. I don’t know, but the vibe was off, most especially because of how Anne’s funeral went down. Somehow, we regretted that we didn’t get to tell her how much we loved her in her last moments. We sat in the dining room, ready to eat, and when I lifted the spoon to my mouth to eat, it suddenly smelt awful and I had this sudden urge to puke. I sprang to my feet, holding my mouth as I ran down the hallway. It was my very first time acting like that in front of Randall. I had tried to keep my pregnancy cravings and signs away from him because I didn’t want him to suspect. I was looking for the perfect time to spill the beans. I held onto the toilet and puked whatever was left in my belly. “Are you alright?” “Ahhh!” I jolted, looking back and saw Randall, behind me, looking worried. “Did I startle you?” He asked, lowering himself too and I nodded. “Yes, your Majesty. You startl
~King Randall~We, the family, stood in front of the catafalque. There were flowers, candles and pictures of Anne displayed on it. We all had straight faces as we all waited in silence in respect to the dead. This wasn’t how I pictured things to end for my mother. Hiding in the palace and not being able to invite people to my mother’s funeral was unbelievable. “Your Majesty. Do you have anything else to say?” The monk asked, moving away from the catafalque, and I nodded, standing up. In my hand was the note my mother wrote before she killed herself. With clenched jaws, I stood in front of everyone and opened the note. “Since my mother decided that killing herself was the best decision she could make, I had refused to read whatever she had written in this paper. “But, I think it’s the right time to read this, and at the same time, read it out to everyone here,” I uttered and slowly unfolded the note. “Dear son, by the time you see this, I’d have probably been dead. But I want to
~Lily~ After the note was found, we were told to go to the living room by Trump. I guess it was our cue to leave.“We should leave now,” I said to Brandon and he nodded in agreement. “I will tell Randall we are leaving.”As he left, Daciana approached me “How are you feeling?”“I should be the one asking you that. We are leaving already”“I’m sorry about what happened today. I’m glad Kendall is safe.”“Thank you” I smiled faintly and continued “You should go to Randall, he needs you right now.”“Right, take care.” She said as she turned to leave. Just then Brandon returned with our stuff. “Let’s go,” he said as we headed out. Getting to the car, I put Kendall in the back seat and sat in front with Brandon. My head was on the window as we drove out of the Palace.I recalled how scared I was when Kendall was missing. It made me realize he meant more to me than I ever imagined and that I should give him my undivided attention and love.‘I would never let what happened today happen aga
~Daciana~ I let out a soft moan as my eyes slowly opened. “She is awake, she’s awake.” I heard their voices faintly.“Queen Daciana, can you hear me?” His voice sounded louder than before and I nodded.I looked to my right and I saw a man dressed in a corporate outfit with a stethoscope around his neck. He was a Doctor. “Yes, I can,” I responded, trying to sit up.Just then I remembered what had happened before I lost consciousness, there was no Kendall or Trisha in sight. “Where is Kendall? Where are they?” I asked with agitation and Carl hurriedly moved closer to me.“Please take it easy Daciana. Randall has gone to fetch them. You should be more concerned about your health.”“Are they fine?” I asked, still very worried.“We got a call from Lily telling us that they have been found,” Trump said.“They are fine. You should talk to the Doctor, he has refused to say anything to us unless you are awake.” My mother replied, and I looked at the Doctor“What is wrong with me Doctor?”“C
~King Randall~ “Why can’t we leave for the hospital right now?” I asked in frustration as I rushed Daciana into the house. “You just got coronated. You can’t be seen in the hospital right now. There are eyes all over you.” Trump answered as we followed me alongside the others. “Who cares?? My Queen just fainted and I should care about what people will think?” “The doctor is on his way already.” Carl butted in as I laid her on the couch. “We… we can’t just sit back and do nothing! My son is missing! We should be out there looking for him!” Lily cried in agony. “I sent the guards out already. They’ll find him. They have to! Do you think I want to be here right now too??” I asked, sitting next to Daciana and holding her hand, hoping she would wake up. “I knew something like this was going to end up happening. We invited an enemy to live with us!” Agatha uttered, and we all looked at her. “What are you talking about?” Trump shook his head in confusion. “Anne, of course! After all
