Chapter Fourteen
Stefan's POV
I hate mondays but I had to work very hard or else my competitors would take advantage of that.
Carlos came home late so I went to check on him in his room. It was 7am and he still looked like he had been ran over by a truck.I covered him up and went to the kitchen where i found Nina roosleeping on the counter She too looked like she had been ran over by a truck. Where we these two yesterday? I hope Carlos wasn't falling for this crazy mud girl.I always loved to prepare my breakfast.I had the mentality that no one would understand my stommach more than me.I tried making noise with the cooking pans while I was cooking but she didn't wake up!even placed a piece of bacon on her lips but she just bit it and continued sleeping.Damn!She was indeed a heavy sleeper. I didn't want to ruin her beauty sleep but I ated people who were unprofessional.
"Wake up!" I screamed in
Chapter FifteenNina's POVI was still in shock of what had happened in Stefan's officeI didn't like the direction he wanted my life to take. I couldn't stand him as a human being how would leven think about dating him?Thinking about the kiss and him made me Wanna throw up..He was nothing like his grey and black themed bedroom which had a king sized bed with table lamps on each side,Recessed lights on the ceiling, a staircase book shelf, a walking in closet with mirrors on its door, and the unique furniture pieces that complemented the room. Yes it was a beautiful room for a selfish man."measurement?" Princess Elsa asked the moment I got into the mansion."No, your brother was busy " I whispered "What?""Do you know how much the part
Chapter SixteenNina's POVWe were busy doing the final touches on the sketches that we were supposed to be used to make princess Ella's dress when I heard a commotion in the living room.Obvious it was the spoilt brat creating some drama. You know dramatic brat should be her name.But it was none of my business, her brothers could handle her.Well, that's what I thought until Jennifer came to fetch me.And guess what, Jennifer had the audacity to slap a stupid question on my face."Where is Ella's diamond ring?"Did you fall and hit your head?" I asked her.Jennifer dear this is not the way to solve this matter. Maybe the ring is somewhere in her room"The Queen mother tried to be civil and realistic."No your Highness mother, one is not supposed to be linient with thieves..." Jennifer retorted."Can someone please brief me on what is going on? Thief, diamond and me...""You stole princess Ella's diamond ring..." J
Chapter SeventeenNina's POVI know you all think that I am heartbroken and spent the whole night crying.Dears that's where you are wrong.I have never slept so peaceful .You know why? Yes i was called a thief but I wasn't ready to let that define me..But I was going to make them beg for my forgiveness.No one messes with Nina Harlad, no one insults her in public apart from her parents and that's is if I deserve it.I woke up and stretched myself out when my phone begun ringing.Guess what it was my mummy. I jump up and down excitedly but my joy was short-lived when I remembered the scandal in the newspaper and blogs . I know my sister must have told her the exaggerated version of the story."Hey mama..." I stammered."Hello my dear..." She whispered."Am sorry about the story you have heard. I swear I didn't want to embarrass you and Papa..." I stuttered."Don't cry.I just wanted to know how you are after your sister
Chapter EighteenNina's POVI kept my word.It's not that I would have quit my job, it was just a smart move that would make Carlos force the arrogant man to ask for forgiveness.No need to brag but the musician needs me.He is obsessed with my work and that one hell of a weakness fellas.For the past one week, I was so busy trying to finish up with princess Ella's dress and also prince Carlos sneaking into the studio once in a while to steal a kiss. Its not like it bothered me, I loved the way we acted like teenagers in love.Everyone acted normal after the theft incident, The Queen made sure I always made me coffee at four o'clock and Jennifer atleast faked civilisation.Finally Friday was here, I was done with Sophie's dress.I couldn't wait to get home and take care of the tired me."Done with work?" Carlos wrapped his arms around me from behind."Someone could see us...""I don't care..." I wanted to move away but my body was in a
Chapter NineteenCarlos's POVI know when describing Nina I should used the word beautiful, talk about her hourglass figure, her night deep mysterious eyes but those didn't matter to me.The beauty in a woman is her intelligent personality and confidence.Nina had a spirit that could soar and that to me was attractive than any colour or shape in the universe.After Diana left I thought all was lost. I thought my heart would never beat for another. But then I saw Nina being interviewed, she wasn't the kind of a girl who would shy away from critisms, she knew critisms was one of the ingredients for success.People said she had an attitude but to me it was more of creating limits to how far things and people can go.I needed that kind of a woman in my life. My career needed an alpha woman who would hold my hand when the storms came my way and she was that.In her Instagram posts, my eyes always fell to her hand to look for rings since she nev
Chapter TwentyNina's POVI was shocked, words were stuck on my throat. Suddenly my knees were as weak as cooked noodles.I knew, the dress was from Stefan but how was I to get myself from this mess. I finally have things going right with Carlos and I didn't want to mess that up.Carlos's face was scrunching with anger."What is this dress?""How should I know?" I replied coldly. I could feel my world crumbling down."It's an expensive dress." He raised his eyebrows in surprise."Yeah and I can't afford it...""Are you sure you have no suitors? Because I don't get why it is on your bed..."God get me out of this mess and I promise I will try not to be so rude."Are you calling me a sl-t? Yes you are calling me a slut . How am I supposed to know about this dress?I was with you to Maasai Mara." I rose my voice.I know I didn't have to but I had to make him feel bad to forget about the dress."Baby, you are putting words in m
Chapter Twnety OneNina's POVIt was on a Tuesday, three days to Jennifer's grand welcome ball.I had called in sick at work since I needed time to figure out my life.I had a well thought out plan in my mind of how I was going to get out of this mess, even went ahead to set an alarm at 7am, wrote in my diary every detail of the plan but guess what I woke up at 11am.Where was the motivation to fix this mess? Under the table perhaps.I got out of bed, cooked some noodles and lazily sat on the sofa watching Netflix.The house was kinda boring, Lucy was out looking for a job whereas William had gone on a business trip with his boss and so I was home alone.My eyes were stuck on the television when I heard a knock at the door. At first I thought I was hallucinating until the knocks became loud and constant.My eyes were stuck on the television when I heard a knock at the door.

Chapter Twenty TwoStefan's POV"You did it, didn't you?" Ramon questioned as he got inside my office."Did I have a choice?" I raised my voice."You are practically destroying her life right now. There is always another way..." He explained calmly as he sat where that crazy mud girl had sat earlier."Bring two cups of coffee!!!" I ordered my PA on the telephone and got back to my seat."You are supposed to be supporting me.""No Stefan, you have crossed all the limits anyone could ever think of. I am so disappointed..."What was he disappointed about. I know I was a wicked tornado but being my best friend he should have learnt to deal with it by now . I am a prince and a businessman to me life is like business deals, emotional rubbish is for weaklings.In fact Nina should be happy that I am marrying her. Does she know how many marriage proposals I get everyday? And here she is acting like queen Beyonce."So what do you
Chapter Eight SixNina's POV13 years later.I tried to get out of bed when Prince Stefan held my hand."Where are you going so early in the morning?" He pulled me back to bed and wrapped his arm around my waist."You know I have missed being so closed to you.We are both busy with work and I barely even hold you like this anymore." He rested his head on my back.Prince Stefan should understand that for the past thirteen years, things have changed.We have a teenage boy and an eight year old who thinks is a princess."Prince Stefan, it's Saturday and Ethan will soon wake up very hungry." I dropped his hand from my waist and quickly got out of bed but he jumped out of bed and stood Infront of me."Ethan can wait.All I want is to hold my wife for some few minutes.I miss kissing these lips, I don't know even how they taste anymore." He begun c*ressing my lips.""Prince Stefan please not now." I stammered but he didn't listen.He held me
Chapter Eighty FiveNina's POVFinally the D-day was here.I was excited that Stefan gets to finally perform the rites required but I was also anxious.He is unfamiliar with our traditions, what if he messes up? Dear God,help that stubborn man to do things right.I was so lost in thoughts when I heard Ethan cry.I rushed out of my room like a mad woman and found his lip bleeding.My poor baby.He was rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands wearing a sad face.Only heavens can explain the pain a mother feels when she sees her baby in pain.The moment he saw me, he ran to me."Mama?" He wrapped his hands around my legs."What's wrong baby?" I picked him up."Mama me fall." He cried out.I looked around and saw Britney agitated."What happened to him?" I raged out at her."Am sorry .I went to go for a glass of water when he fell." She stammered..I looked around and saw Britney agitated."If you can't look after Ethan, don't play with

Chapter Eighty FourStefan's POVI pressed my hands against the incubator glass trembling.The pain had unpleasant warmth to it.The wait of holding my son in my arms was giving me a burning pain .Tears spilled down my face as I looked at him.It was a profound deep love never to be replaced.This is the greatest love one could ever feel.He had a chest lead on his chest, a pulse oximetry on his finger, an IV on his hand and an oxygen hood placed over his head.Not for a moment did he cry, it seems he was strong as his mother."Son, I can't wait to hold you in my arms.Your mother loves you so much too.Be strong for us my baby.We love you."Nina's POVOne week laterEthan you are my sun, moon and all of my stars.Holding a baby in your arms is one of life's greatest pleasure.I wanted to drink that moment.The moment with my son, Ethan Valedram.His looks were so perfect and his smile divine.I can't believe I carried him in my arms
Chapter Eighty ThreeStefan's POVI could barely feel my fingers from the massage I was from giving Nina.It had become a habit of mine to massage and bathe her since she could barely even reach her knees. It was the much I could do for her.Her belly was growing bigger and bigger by the day.She was now seven months pregnant which was by God's grace.She has been on and off hospitals and nothing seems to change . She is more pale, more weaker but full of enthusiasm to meet her beloved son and hold him in his arms.The persisting headaches, the unbearable abdominal pains, the nausea and vomiting were nothing when it came to this fearless mother to be.Never look down on mother's my friends.But if it was possible for a man to carry a child inside him then I would have been more than willing to and take the pain from herAfter fearing God, fear mothers.They can be very dangerous and persisting when it comes to their children.
Chapter Eighty TwoNina's POVI think I was too harsh on Stefan.He was just concerned about me but I am a selfish mother.Nothing or no one will make me get rid of this baby.We have a bond and since the day he begun growing inside me we became one.I should go and talk with him softly and sweetly.I will assure him that I am okay and we can do this.Yes it becomes unbearable at times but that's the fruit of our love and we aren't giving up on it. I was about to get out of bed when I heard footsteps towards the door.That must be Stefan,even thou I wasn't angry at him anymore I won't show it .Let him suffer for a while.I pulled the bedsheet over my head and pretended to be fast asleep when I felt a soft pat on my shoulder."Go away Stefan.I said I don't want to see you. "I cussed out. There was no reply."Stefan I know you are there.Just leave or I push you out.""Excuse me madam,sir Stefan sent me to bring you some toast and baby shake."
Chapter Eighty OneNina's POVI walked into the kitchen to make some baby shake and found Carlos making his favourite chocolate milkshake."So how is the baby elephant doing?" He joked and I slapped the upside of his head."Do I look fat to you?""You said it not me." He raised his hands dramatically."Fool!!!!""I love the glow in your face.You look happy and it makes me happy.I told you he loves you."I couldn't help but blush.Was it that obvious that I was happily in love?"And thank you for being there for me.Who would have thought we would have fallen in love with different people?" I shook my head reaching out for the blender when I felt his hand on mine."Missy, I will make you the baby shark.Just sit on top of the counter and tell me anything." He wiggled his eyebrows and I shrugged. He lifted me on the counter and begun making the baby shake."So how are you right now? Do you still have those killer headache
