DANIEL'S POV I nervously walked into the restaurant Diva told me to meet her and looked around for her. She had sent me a text earlier asking me come to this restaurant in town, that she wanted to introduce me to someone. My eyes scanned around and soon I located her sitting and laughing with a very good looking guy. I was felt slightly jealous. But I immediately reminded myself, she is Diva not Goldie or some heartbreaker. Besides she won't ask me to come if she was meeting him secretly. I smiled and walked over to them. "Sweety?" I called and they both turned on seeing me. The guy whose face seems quite familiar, stood up Immediately he saw me. "Jordan?" He said in recognition and I raised an eyebrow in confusion. That name's not very common with me. Those who knew it must be really close enough or so... "Common dude. It's me Carl from Lionel's high that year." He explained walking to me with a smile. That was when I recognized him. He was the defense player from the home scho
Royal Empire University Fifty Three: Planning a surprise
LUCIA'S POVWakey wakey! Sleepy head... My phone chimed and I lazily opened my eyes and picked it up. I had several unread emails and tons of messages. I dropped it back on the bed.I honestly need to rest. I've been busy with my shoot and thankfully, I completed the last one two days ago. And the so much anticipated movie, titled 'Are we really friends?' in which I was the leading actress, was finally aired yesterday noon.I rolled out of my bed, slipped on my rabbit-ears flipflop and dragged my ass to the bathroom. And after brushing my teeth and having a nice warm bath, I stepped out, drying my wet hair with a white towel while another was wrapped around my body.I'm not going anywhere today __ well except the hospital. It's been four days since I last saw Johnny and that's because I've been busy. I've been thinking about him of late so much especially about his proposal and all he told me. And I finally decided he's right, it's time for me to make amends and turn a new leaf. I pi
Royal Empire University Fifty Four: A changed 'Queen'
LUCIA'S POV I already arrived at the hospital and my guards were waiting outside. Immediately I stepped in, several people began to greet and praise me familiarly. I even signed out some autographs for some people. A sick teenage girl that was being pushed away in a wheelchair by a nurse, begged to hug me. I hugged her and I was happy. If it were before, I wouldn't have hugged her. I'm really in love with this new me. "Queen Lucy you're welcome," the receptionist said with a wave and smile when she saw me. I smiled at her. "I'm watching your latest movie and I swear I love it." She squealed turning her phone for me to see. She truly was. With the way it's going, I'm sure this movie would be the biggest hit in my career and I might win the award for the best young female actress of the year again. "Thanks," I smiled at her and walked to the elevator. Soon I was walking along the hallway to Johnny's room. I reached and was about opening it when I heard a strange female voice, I paus

I thought you said till I turn 25 and that's till a full year!""Well my dear son, you are still getting married to her on your 25th birthday. The reason I'm sending her to you is because I noticed you've become completely lenient on the policy I gave you."Shit! He must have been monitoring my activities and his spies must have told him about Penny."But father I'm not dating anyone. I've been abiding by your policy for a long time now. Arianna doesn't have to come here." I pleaded."Roe you must have forgotten that you are royalty. I'm doing you the favour of reminding you.

Your younger sister Diane, is engaged to a prince too and you know that, you were there. How then will yours be different? You're Royal blood Roe. And
Royal Empire University Fifty Six: Penny's real Identity
ROE'S POV I stood with several of my bodyguards at the large clearing of the jetport, awaiting the arrival of Princess Arianna's private jet, as paparazzi and the media crowded the vast land, some trying to interview me. Good thing my guards were here. I was leaning on one of my escort cars while they shielded me from the annoying reporters. This is a live broadcast, the world is watching this now...'Prince Roe what's your relationship with Princess Arianna of Ireland?''Your highness what do you have to say about the rumour that you are engaged to Princess Arianna Jonas?''Is she really your betrothed?''Is it true you that you dislike the princess?''When are you getting married to her?''Is she really your first love?''How long have you two been dating?'These and so many more annoying questions but I uttered not a single word.

Royal Empire University Fifty Seven: Why's that there?
LUCIA'S POV I was about stepping out of my room all dressed up thinking of going to Penny's place. I just saw the news and I know she'll be heartbroken right now but someone knocked on my door. I walked to the door and opened it."Dad?" What's he doing here? I thought he was preparing for his business trip."May I?" He asked with a smile. Dad's smiling at me this afternoon, what's the cause of this mood? Am I safe?"Sure." I opened the door wider and stepped aside for him to walk in. He did and sat on my bed, I stared at him nonplussed. When was the last time dad walked in my room?"Laurel come sit with me." He said. Okay Dad, what's going on? I can't remember the last time he called that name, it's been many years..."You think I'm being weird right?" He asked with a smile, looking at me. I nodded slowly as I walked to the bed and sat down beside him."For the past few weeks, I might have been too hard on you but I just want you to know that whatever I did or will do, It's because I

TANIA'S POVI held my breath as she stared down at Alex's hair. She didn't see it right? I watch her stretch out her hand to Alex's hair and I momentarily freezed, preparing for the worst. "How did this happen Alex?" She asked as her eyes stared down at a particular place in worry. I looked down and noticed she was looking at the slight cut at the back of Alex's neck, slightly below her right ear. I heaved a sigh of relief in my mind and quickly let her hair fall back, covering the mark. I made it fall in a way that Elle could still see the scratch on the other side. "That was my nails, I had scratched my neck unconsciously one night at my aunt's last week. Didn't know the mark is still visible." Alexis said staring at us from the mirror. "Oh sorry. Be careful with your finger nails next time okay?" She nodded. "I'll treat that for you Immediately Tania is through with your hair. You shouldn't have scars on your body." Elle said as she walked back to her closet. The way she loves

She said and I smiled. She doesn't know her friends were planning a huge surprise for her. Yeah I know because Elle gave me a hint. They are so kind, the gift package from the other day was a huge check sum of 20 million dollars and a beautiful friendship bracelet designed by ARIEL'S JEWELERIES. I sent 15 million to my dad and kept the remaining sum. I stopped working. What's the point of working when I can definitely take care of my bills now?

Royal Empire University Eighty-Three: Rescuing Ariel

I sat up quickly and looked around the unpleasant old looking warehouse. Goons stood around watching me strictly.I became scared upon realizing that I've been kidnapped. Oh no! I lost Candy's gift bracelet. I said within me on looking at my wrist and not finding the rainbow colored, leather bracelet she gifted me on our parting.Wait! Why am I here anyway? Why would someone kidnap me within the vicinity of my school? Everyone must be scared right now; Hector, Aunt Hanna, Diva and the DSD girls, including those handsome idols.It's a pity I didn't get to see Diva's surprise.

Seems like he's on a call...I returned my attention to the call, the phone's been ringing for a while now but he ain't picking up...Panick already set in as I placed a call again, it rang and just when I thought no one's gonna answer, it connected."Where have you been Antonio?

LUCIA'S POV "Thanks so much for your time Professor Adams." I said smilingly as I made my way out of his cozy office."Anytime Queen Lucy." He smiled and I waved and walked out.As I took the elevator back to the last floor, I smiled as I stared at her personal contact in my phone. With this I know she'll forgive me totally, Diva's so broad hearted.Oh my gosh! I should hurry before that silly girl does something I'm very sure she'll regret.The door opened and I made my way quickly to the car park. Typing away on my phone...

ELINA'S POVI entered my car and the guard closed the door after me. I touched my cheek in disbelief, Lucia slapped me! Well I pushed her too far by talking about her mom in that regard but she caused it.What am I missing? When did she suddenly changed? Something doesn't feel right. When I mentioned her getting back at Diva for taking her fame, crush and friend she didn't seem concerned about it. But up till last month, she was still notorious as ever. She had even hired goons to beat up a medical student who had made a mocking meme of her, till he was hospitalized. So why's she acting differently now, I thought she would be excited like she used to be? Did she change?I sighed and brought out my phone and began to surf their student website for any updates about her.

Royal Empire University Seventy-eight: Meeting an ex-bestfriend. Alexis in danger
LUCIA'S POV I walked into Balmont's cafe and saw her already seated there. I stride over to her and sat down. The only reason I'm here is because of the fact that she'd mentioned Diva's name. Johnny also said to come and see what she's up to."Oh you are here." She smiled while I just stared at her."Why's this place quiet and devoid of customers?" I asked, as I scanned around. "I bought it for a few minutes so I can have a quiet conversation with you. Don't worry, I also took care of the CCTV." She said and I couldn't help but scoff. Whatever she wants to say must be pretty illegal..."How long has it been? Nine years? It's really good to see you again Lucia. You look much more matured and way prettier than I last remembered." She said smilingly and I rolled my eyes away. She didn't change, still really slender with her mother's brunette hair although I noticed she dyed some part of it to blonde. Her dress style was like that of a total badass girl."Look Lucia, I'm really sorry f

I settled for toasted bread and milk, Alexis was having cereals, Lia and Kim were having noodles and Tania settled for pancakes with a glass of orange juice. We ate in silence, while I kept my eyes on Tania's waterfall braid, it really looks pretty on her. Carl would be returning to South Korea soon, he told me in our chat yesternight."Are we practicing today girls?" Kim suddenly asked, looking up at me in particular. "We didn't practice for some time now due to Lia's birthday and Jay's concert. So I guess we should." I said shruggingly. They all nodded approvingly and continued eating. I smiled and looked at Alex beside me, she just dropped her spoon."Thanks everyone. I'll head for school now." She said smilingly."Okay Alex, do take care alright?" The girls said and she nodded.I stared silently at her for a while wondering about this ominous feel
