"Please have a seat," King Noha said while sitting in a white couch when Princess Lorainne and Neil came to his office."What's going on?" Princess asked curiously, and she walked towards their parents first."We have something to tell you," said Queen Kristine calmly from her husband's left side."I don't like what I am thinking," Neil whispered to himself, and he approached his parents, sitting on one couch together with his elder sister and in front of their parents."What is this about?" Princess asked again, feeling uneasy in her seat because she can sense that something is up.Noha and Kristine looked at each other first as if they agreed on one thing and then, they turned their heads again towards their children."Well, I called you two here because I want to tell you both that we are retiring. Me and your Mom from the throne. We have decided to pass the throne to you, Neil, since your elder sister doesn't want to, and you are next to the throne. But don't worry, we will guide
Neil and Francis were at the Football stadium in Dubai, and Francis confessed his feelings towards him, but unfortunately, Neil rejected him twice and that was because he said he was more interested in a natural-born woman than a transgender. However, on that very day too, Neil kissed Francis and something happened between them in the dark alley, but thereafter, Neil disappeared without telling anyone, even his parents and elder sister the reason. When Francis heard that from Princess he was devastated, so, he told her everything, even their intercourse, which surprised her because what he knows is that his younger brother doesn't like gays, and that gives her confusion. ***"That was very wrong. Terribly wrong. Fvck. What's wrong with me? Why did I do this to him? I shouldn't have. I am going crazy. This is not right. Now, I have to leave," Neil mumbled inside his head in dilemma, and he started the engine of his car and left the football stadium where Francis was.In no time, he re
"Don't worry, Sir. We're already inside, and it looks like I've gained his trust right away," said Dad as he stood outside the opposite door.I wonder who he talks to on the phone every night. Ever since we moved here to the big house where Dad worked as a housekeeper, he has always been talking to someone on the phone as if reporting it. “Good night, Sir. Bye," Dad finally said, and put down the phone he was holding.Meanwhile, I closed the door slowly and hurried back to my room so that he wouldn't notice that I was watching him. I immediately lie down on my soft bed and closed my eyes, and I heard my bedroom door open as I expected. I know that Dad opened the room, and he checked to see if I was still awake, and I didn't hear anything from their conversation when he was talking to the person behind the phone. After a few seconds, I heard the door slam, which meant that Dad had closed the door again, so I opened my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief because he didn't catch me.I kno
I just came back from Thailand, and I'm heading to my house in the Philippines. I locked into my room and while I was taking a shower my phone rang. So, I picked it up, which was just on the side of the bathtub, and seeing the caller ID made me wonder whether I should answer the caller or not.Why is Dad calling me now? It's been, what—7 years since the last time we talked. Well, I didn't really make them feel because I know that they will just tell me to go back to Dubai, which I really don't like. And that's because I don't want to go back to Dubai, where I made a mistake that I know I'll never forget. I avoided them for 7 years even though they called and texted me several times, even my older sister, Lorainne, who really teased me even in the chat, but I never read it and because I knew she will just talk about Francis.I put down my phone and let it ring as usual. Likewise, I was enjoying my bath when I heard a pop from my phone, so, I looked into it and read the message.-'Answe
"Ugh!" Diana and I roared loudly after a few sips of wine."One more shot, please," Diana said in front of me, ordering one more."It's enough, Diana. I can't take it anymore," I complained, and I felt my head fall on the table on purpose because my forehead hit, and it has a sound."You're weak, aren't you," Diana said with a laugh that I heard. "Come on, let's go home," she mentioned, and I felt my right arm rise, meaning she was lifting me up. "Agh, gosh, Wendy, you're heavy," I heard her complaint, which made me smile."Fix my bu-vhu-hat sha," I said, even though I was very drunk.I can't feel my whole body any more because of being so drunk. I feel like a wilted vegetable."Let me help you," said a familiar man's voice that made me lift my head, but my vision was blurred even though I blinked a few times."Oh, thank God. Please, please carry him until we can take a taxi," said Diana happily as she immediately passed me to the man we didn't know who was kind enough to carry me.Th
I gained consciousness when I heard the sound of the monitor that is on my left side, and just like I've expected, I am in the hospital again. I opened my eyes, and the first person I saw was my Dad, who was full of worries about me, based on his face. "Thank God, and you're awake now, my daughter," my Dad said with a sigh of relief, and he sat on my right side where the chair is. "Did you remember what happened to you? Because Prince Neil told me he saw you fell so, he carried you here," he asked without knowing what really happened and why I lost my consciousness. He was the reason I was actually here now, if he didn't go near me and kissed me then, I wouldn't be here right now. I'm going to kill him later. "I think it's because of overfatigued, Dad, that's why I got heart attack again," I reasoned out instead, and I didn't want him to know what really happened to me. "You know your condition, Wendy, you have to slow down when you know already that it's gonna be too much for yo
"Here, read this," I said, and I handed to her a one sheet of paper about the contract marriage that we are going to deal with, while we are sitting at the dining table across each other."And you really have this, ha," she whispered, but I heard her, and she get the paper from my hand."I made that on the day that I offered you, just to my luck. Since you have your terms and conditions that I already put it in there, now you have to consider all of my terms and conditions too regarding this contract marriage. The number one on the contract, once we got married it says there that I will be the one to be in charge. It's not you, but it's me. Especially when my family is there, friends, and Mang Danny, your father--""Wait," she jumped in while I am talking that interrupted me from talking. "He is my father. I should be the one in charge when my father is there, and not you. And...Aren’t you thinking that my father would suspect us getting married too soon? He might think that we're rush
"Secondly, enjoy each other first. Okay? Don't think of having children just yet. You two still have a lot of time to do it," Dad added that made me laugh, while I am sniffing."Oh, you heard that. You are the one who keep pulling me," Neil mischievously reminded me, making me the bad woman instead of him.Wow. And he's really the one telling me that? I would like to hit his head!"Secondly, enjoy each other first. Okay? Don't think of having children just yet.

I don't know what you're talking about,” I replied annoyingly, and I elbowed his waist.“My daughter, I know that your husband to be is handsome, but take it slow. Not yet. Maybe after two years of
“Where are we going? And, what did you say? Tour me around?” I questioned confusingly while I was sitting pretty beside him in the passenger seat, and I didn’t like what he said inside before we left.“Yes, and I know that you are bored already so, I cleared my schedule today to tour you around,” he coolly said, and he looked at me in a second.“Okay,” I mumbled, and I pulled my hand from his as I sat down properly.Quietly, I looked to the window to my right side and I could see a lot of things. I’m amused. There are a lot of people here. This place is really alive. And because Christmas eve is coming, I can see a lot of shining, shimmering decorations around like trees, stars, and lights.“Let’s go down here,” I said not leaving my eyes on the streets.“What? No. I will bring you somewhere else. Not here,” he hastily declined.I saddened because of what he told, and I turned to give him a look. “No, I want here,” I insisted, and I tapped the driver on the shoulder. se stop “Sir, ple
I am getting bored here. Why did I come with him here again? I have nothing to do here anyway. Boredom! Oh, right. To remove my boredom, I fished my phone and I chatted my best friend, Diana, while Neil is busy talking to his secretary and to the other guy about business. -How are you? I smiled when I saw that Diana immediately seen my message, which means that she is doing nothing as of now, even she is at her work. She might have no customer so, she had time to answer me. -Here, still alive and kicking. You, how are you there? You okay there? I laughed just reading her reply because I can tell that she is really bored right now. -Are you busy? You want video call? -Yes, please! I’ll call. And she really called me that I quickly answered. “Hi, girl,” I greeted her cheerfully because it’s been a while, even we just talked to each other last night. “Hello. Wait. Where are you? You’re outside?” she questioned when she noticed my background changed. “Yes, I’m outsi
Something is brushing my face and at the same time, someone is on me. So, I opened my eyes and I brushed off the hair that was flying over my face. Then, I looked down at the person who was currently hugging me like a teddy bear, which made me smile because she was sleeping so peacefully like a baby. But my smile vanished when something strikes my heart that I couldn’t explain, which made my left free hand moved since my right was on the back of her head. And, I gently removed the hair that was on her face. And there’s her angelic face. Her face is unique, that I could stare at her all day without getting bored. My heart feels something strange just staring at her, when suddenly my eyes diverted to her lips that I am tempted to kiss. And with that, I recalled everything that happened last night whereas I fell to the bar stool but thankfully, Mr. Charles carried me going to my room. He, then, immediately left, leaving me and my wife alone. Subsequently, she walked me going to the b
It’s 2 o’clock in the morning but still, Danny couldn’t get to sleep so, he went out and sat down the bench near the door. He is looking at the nearby house where his only daughter is living with her new husband. A thought came to him so, he fished his phone and he texted. -Your Highness, I would like to inform you that your son married my daughter here in the Philippines. I hope you accept her. I don’t know what to do now. After sending the text, he sighed because he really is clueless right at the moment. He even couldn’t intervene to the two because he saw how they love each other when they visited his house so, who is he to be a barrier to their relationship. He is just hoping now that the royal family would accept his only daughter. Meanwhile, King Noha is resting on his chamber alone when he heard his phone beep for a text message. He opened his phone, and read the text, which made his eyebrows contracted. -Are they coming here now? And after a minute only, Danny replie
I didn’t know, I fell asleep. I opened my eyes when I noticed that my surroundings changed, we are now in the car, and I am surprised to see Neil’s face near mine. Then, I noticed that I am sitting on his lap while we are moving, and his both hands are on me that instantly gives me chills down my spine because I am not used to someone touching me. We stared at each other when I noticed his head moving towards me. Wait, what is he doing? Is he trying to kiss me? I will not allow it to happen again. And so, I moved my head backward, and I quickly covered my lips that he wanted to kiss. But he is determined, he pulled my left wrist while his other hand held my nape in place. In response, I didn’t let him, even though his eyes are begging to me charmingly. What is he, lucky? Not all people will follow to everything he wants. Whatever he is going to say just to get into me, I will not surrender. Maybe his charm will work on other women, but not to me. His charm will not work on m
I couldn’t sleep.It’s midnight, the light here in my room is already off, but here I am and still awake. I couldn’t stay still. My mind is still flying, and for some reason my mind keeps repeating the scenarios a while ago whereas I embraced Wendy, the way I kissed her on her forehead gently, and the way she closed her eyes that time. I was tempted to kiss her on her lips, but I didn’t pursue because I was thinking that she might push me so, I just hugged her tight to comfort her that I think worked because she stopped crying. Because to be honest, when I saw her crying while leaving her father’s house even though she’s really not gonna leave, she will just transfer to my custody since we’re already married, made my heart ache. I know that it’s hard for parents to be away from their children whom they nourished and gave life, just like me and my parents, but in my situation, I was the one who part ways with them because I want to know until where my own feet could go. It takes a lot
