*Jhanvi Pov*“But why?” I asked while arranging the clothes on the bed in the order I want to place them in the cupboard.“My whole family is here and they want to meet you. I know you all shifted yesterday only and must have work to do. So, come to my house and meet them for dinner.” She requested.“Kalpana!” I said, sighing.“You can get rest with cooking too, and you must be tired with all the work.” She added.“Then shouldn’t I stay back and rest?” I asked and she laughed.“Please!” she pleaded and I finally accepted, but her next words made me stiffen.“Don’t bring Jay!” she suddenly said and I frowned at her words.“Why?” I asked not being able to keep the anger away.“Well, they are still angry with everything. Why make him face all that?” she asked, but I continued to frown.“I will call later.” I said and hung up before calmly placing the clothes inside the cupboard.“Most of the work is finished out there. What about here?” Jay asked, walking inside the room, but I kept sile
“A wife?” I asked the people before me in a whisper.“Yes! And he has a son also who is eleven years old.” My darling assistant in this place said smugly and I know I can use darling along with her only when I want to be sarcastic.And I want to be sarcastic like hell otherwise I don’t know what will do after hearing this betrayal. He acted like he is interested in me, but he has a wife and son. How could he?I will kill him if I ever see him again. With that though I turned away from the group and started working with a force wishing the ground I am digging is his body.“You are here!” hearing those words made me stop and take a few breaths otherwise I know I will do whatever I was imagining.“And you are a married person with a son.” I said without moving and again started digging.“I…” he didn’t finish when we heard someone calling me.“Excuse me, your highness!” with those words I walked off ignoring his stare following me.After I covered everything and luckily with no other en
*Nicole Pov*What am I doing in this school in the first place? I want to go home, but… but Mom will not listen to me. With that conversation going on I tried to ignore the students around me trying to bully me.“Hey! What are you doing to her? Leave her alone!” I heard those words and turned to see a girl nearly my age walking near to me and they all scrambled away immediately making me frown.“Why are you letting them bully you?” she demanded with a frown of her own and I felt like maybe she will even bully me after knowing the truth and everyone are scared of her too.“I…” I couldn’t reply, to which she sighed and started playing with her nails but still waited for my reply.“I have a better question. Why are they bullying you?” she asked and I know for sure she must be elder than me because I don’t think any twelve year old kid will talk like this.“Well?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.“Because my Dad left me.” I replied, knowing well she will not leave it and took a step back
Before Ten years*Abdullah Pov*“Ali! The list of prospective brides have been made and sent by the kingdom council. Choose one if you want or else I will choose one for you.” I stated passing the file towards him over the table.However, he just sat there staring at me with a blank face before whispering, “I don’t want any of them.”“Did you choose anyone by yourself? Let me know her details and I will decide whether she is suitable to be a queen for this kingdom or not.” I said, hoping she is at least a princess of some small place.“No! I don’t want to marry at this age.” He said, frowning at me and I felt my minister stiffening beside me.“You are 21 years old, Ali. Why do you want to wait?” I asked, gesturing to the minister to keep calm.“All my friends are still studying further and you want me to marry?” he asked standing up.“I know! It was my mistake to send you to normal schools. I should have kept you within the kingdom, but your Mother was too stubborn. If she was here no
*Nicole Pov*“Madam!” I looked away from the map to see a few workers standing before me.“Yes? Why are you all not working?” I asked them frowning.They looked at each other, but didn’t open their mouths and I looked around to see where Rahim is so that they can talk to him freely but he is no where in my sight.Then I glanced at the tags they are wearing before glancing at the map to find the spot where they are suppose to work.“Is something wrong with the spot or anything else?” I asked, but still they stayed silent and fidgeted in their places.“What happened?” we heard a new voice and turned to see Rahim walking near to us.“I don’t know! They are not saying anything.” I replied, gesturing the people.One of them stepped near to Rahim and talked in some language which I didn’t understand at all. So, I waited calmly for Rahim to explain.He slowly nodded and looked far away, which is actually their spot before replying to them in the same language and send them away.“Actually th
*Nicole Pov*I thought yesterday the day got better then I don’t know what to describe today as because when I walked near to the place where I am supposed to work, he gave a nod pausing his work.Seeing that I paused myself not knowing what to say about that. Should I react anything and will he even acknowledge my reaction?So in the end I ignored it and prepared myself for a meeting with my team regarding the progress we made in this one week.“Ask the workers to be present for this meeting, Rahim. Now, they are part of this too.” I said when he reached me to inform everyone ready for the meeting.I waited for the workers along with the team and to my surprise along with everyone, even the Prince walked near to us.“I am sure we all had time to adjust to the area and get a feel of it. Now, we have removed some part of coverings from different spots. Any of you feel we shouldn’t get involved in searching for artifacts ourselves from this point onwards? I mean to say, any of you thin
*Nicole Pov*“What do you mean she needs my help?” I asked Rahim frowning.“I don’t know! She is asking for you and she made others stop working saying she will not do anything until you help her.” He replied making me frown more.“Why did you people take her for this project in the first place? First she was behind your prince and now something else.” I mumbled, standing up and glanced at Ali to see him digging without any feel for the surroundings.“Let’s go!” I said following Rahim and reached the spot to see the team waiting for me.“Madam! The labor is not listening to what we actually want. So, if you stay here and make them do the work it will be better.” She said the moment I asked her about the problem.So? She is stopping the whole work for this much? Didn’t she know that their work is not the main one but our own work is?“Very well! You go inside with them and give me the details of what can be actually seen.” I ordered and she gaped at me.“What? I am not here to make you
*Nicole Pov*“Sure! I will get it done.” I said with a smile and turned around leaving the place with the same smile until I reached my cabin.The moment I sat down, I glared at the door, wishing I can hit that man’s face right now. Because of that king this guy is treating me like a failure.It’s been two weeks since I returned and because I came back in the middle of the project my boss just made my competitor the promotion I wished for and now that Jack is irritating me like hell.I can’t blame my boss because no matter what is the reason, I came back without finishing the project. I glanced at my phone in surprise to see two missed calls from Rahim. Why is he calling me now? If he is calling me to ask about anything regarding the project, I will kill him along with Jack.I took a deep breath and called him glancing at the files before me which I have to go through. How did I fell to do this desk job from the field work?“Madam?” he asked the moment he lifted the call.“How are yo
