Pain!Rose's PovI grew up to know only my dad. People say my mother was very materialistic, and so she couldn't stay in her marriage with a husband who couldn't provide a three square meal in a day. An attitude everyone in my society saw as that of a woman who was loose and had no self respect for her family.Father had not been the best of dad, but he tried giving me what I needed at times. He was hardly home, and when he did it was with different women. I could remember the times he came home with different women. Threw lots of parties , danced with them and drank himself to stupor.A close by neighbor called Mariam ,had once told me some dispectible things about my mother, how she always got into a tinted Black SUV which always took her out and brought her back late at night. The whole neighbours believed it was the man which she had ran off with. They would hear her pick up quarrels with dad and he ended up fighting her. Most times she sustained injuries from their fight and ende
Blake's PovI sat down on a swivel chair in the royal garden so I could get enough fresh air from the evening which was so cool. It seemed cloudy as if it was going to rain but I didn't mind staying there because these past few days had been so hot especially when one steps out of the palace. I think the weather was trying to make up for those past hot days , although I was boiling so hard in my heart. My hands folded ,with my legs crossed against each other, as the seat spinned from side to side. One could tell that I was in a bad mood and needed my privacy.It was like the whole world was about crumbling before me and I was going to loose all I had worked hard for since I turned eight. The throne, which was my birth right was about to be taken from me by those council men who always presented themselves as the custodian of all our cultures. I had never had a cause to worry about my future than now. While pondering over those last words of Liliana, the duchess of Albania. She had le
Rose's PovMy eyes felt too weak, when I opened it gradually. Everything seemed blur before me as I tried to know where I was. I felt this sharp pain in my head as I tried stretching my neck from the pillow which I noticed was supporting it. I kept rolling my eyes from one side to another as I could faintly see someone looking deep into my eyes with so much concern. Although the picture wasn't clear,but I could tell it was a female and she was in great fear as I had her speak while holding my hands tightly.Although it wasn't all clear but I could tell she was not having a happy look as I felt tears drop on my hands. Then I felt a touch on my palm and a tiny voice which I quickly recalled." Thank God you are alive, I have been so worried and I kept praying that you over come this. I'm so glad you are finally awake", the voice said as my eyes beamed brighter and I got to see Sharon in tears beside me. She already had a red nose and I could hear her trying to blow her nose. Her eyes w
Blake's PovThe only place I could think of visiting was the hospital ,where father was. It was about two hours from the capital of New Orleans. Grace healing hospital in Greenville. Doctor Dante had suggested moving father there from the Medical Centre Hospital ,New Orleans, to avoid the media.The royal family knew how concerned the people were when it came to their King my father. He was loved by all and the news of his health could bring the whole country to a very sad moments. This was the reason why Dad had to be moved in order to hide his present condition from the people. New Orleans had a very great Media impact on the people and that was what we all feared the more. unlike Greenville where the media there was calm. New Orleans where the best in carrying news far and wide ,most times those news were fabricated lies ,although they had little atom of truths in them. We were not ready for such pressure from the media and the lies that came with their news this was why moving fat

As soon as Rose received the call from Sammie, she rushed to the location he gave her. She was nervous, anxious, and had no idea what to expect. When she arrived at the location, Sammie was waiting for her. He led her to a small cabin deep in the woods forcefully. When they got there, Sammie opened the door and Rose couldn't believe her eyes.Sitting in the corner, tied up and gagged, was Sharon. Rose ran to her to untie her, tears streaming down her face. "Oh my God, Sharon, are you okay?" she asked, hugging her tightly.Sharon was in a state of shock and confusion. She didn't know what was happening and couldn't comprehend what had happened to her. It took her a while to realize that it was Rose.Rose asked that Sammie sets her free ,but when he gave her that dreadful look, she knew he was up to no good. Sammie immediately smacked Rose on her check heavily which sent her to the ground groaning in pains.He reminded her of all the humiliation she caused him in court the moment she sa
Veronica had been keeping a low profile since the accident that left Chris and Flora injured. She had heard about the accident, but she was not aware that her daughter had been involved. For days, she had been trying to get in touch with Sammie, but he had not been answering his phone.She decided to visit him at his home, but when she got there, the house was empty. She tried calling him again, but there was still no answer. She went back to her car and was about to drive away when she saw a car pull up.She watched as Sammie went into the house and came out a few minutes later. He was carrying a small body bag. Veronica's heart sank as she realized what had happened.She got out of her car and walked over to Sammie. "What happened?" she asked, tears streaming down her face."I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your daughter was involved in the accident with Chris . She didn't make it."Veronica felt like her world had come crashing down. She couldn't believe that her daughter wa
Chris was driving with his daughter Flora on their way home from school when a car ran a red light and collided with their vehicle. The impact was so strong that it spun their car around and hit a pole on the side of the road.When Chris regained consciousness, he immediately looked for Flora. He saw her unconscious and bloodied in the back seat. He panicked and quickly pulled her out of the car, trying to revive her. But she remained unresponsive.Chris's injuries were minor compared to Flora's. He had only sustained a small cut on his forehead, but his daughter was in critical condition. He knew he had to act fast and get her medical attention.He flagged down a passing car and begged for help. The driver was a kind woman who immediately called 911 and stayed with Chris and Flora until the ambulance arrived.The ambulance arrived within minutes and rushed Flora to the nearest hospital. Chris rode in the ambulance with her, praying for her to be alright. The ambulance's siren blared,
Chris had been searching for Sharon, who had been kidnapped by Sammie on the orders of Veronica. His search had led him to Texas, where he found out that Veronica was hiding out.Determined to find Sharon, Chris decided to play along with Veronica's game. He pretended to accept her back into his life and they made out. Chris was sitting in a hotel room in Texas, feeling conflicted. Veronica was lying next to him, wrapped in his arms, but his thoughts were consumed by Sharon. He couldn't stop thinking about her and the guilt he felt for betraying her.As he lay there, lost in his thoughts, Veronica stirred and looked up at him. "What's wrong, Chris?" she asked, sensing his unease.Chris hesitated for a moment before responding. "I don't know, Veronica. I just can't stop thinking about Sharon. It feels wrong to be here with you when she's out there somewhere, alone and scared."Veronica's face darkened at the mention of Sharon's name. "Why do you keep bringing her up?" she snapped. "I
