The bullet flew through the air. While Aishantha looked on at the gun quivering helplessly, a diving figure leaped across her and fell to the ground.What?Everyone's head was buzzing, did the Queen Mother really pull the trigger?Aishantha subconsciously probed her body for gunshot wounds. And when she found none, she instantly glanced at the figure lying on the floor. Her mind was boggled.It was Jake. Blood was stained all over his suit and his white t-shirt was red."No, Jake!" Princess Dohana cried, dropping to her knees and puzzled, not knowing how to help Jake at all. "Why did you do that, why?"With his eyes closed as if he was dead, Jake didn't respond.Everyone else stood there, stunned."Oh, you want to be a hero, right?" The Queen Mother said, chuckling before raising the gun towards Aishantha again. Prince Dominic quickly stepped over and blocked Aishantha completely."You...you have dissapointed me Dominic. Did you forget the plan so suddenly? You were supposed to marry
It was almost five pm and Jenna Ferguson was tiding up her desk and getting ready to knock off and go home when she heard the door bang close. When she lifted her eyes, an unfamiliar figure stood by her reception desk. Not only was her pretty face unfamiliar, but her sense of dress style and the luggage bag she held onto too."Hi," said the unfamiliar brunette, clad in what Jenna thought must be traditional wear with all the colours. She was waving her hand arratically. "I'm here to see Jenna, Jenna Fur...Furg-"'What the hell? She can't pronounce my name too?' Jenna thought."That's me, I'm Jenna Ferguson. You must be Christine Dohana, right?"
"Surprise!" Said Jake Larson, spreading his hands at the gift he had just bought his friend.Luke Hamilton was still sturdying Jake's new short hair-cut. When he turned to look, he couldn't believe his eyes. The new Ferrari F8 Tributo parked in his runway."No fucking way!" Said Luke, stroking his long black hair.Jake was all smiles looking on."Jake, really? Another Ferrari?""It's the latest one," Jake grinned."Jake look, the new
After Christine Dohana got out of the shower, she rushed to open the door. Mariot and Daisy waltz in holding shopping bags from very expensive boutiques."Dohana, you're finally awake," said Mariot excitedly. "Look, we bought you designer dresses, and very expensive shoes.""Come and see, you will love them," added Daisy.Dohana's face flushed with excitement as she hurried to see the dresses.'Wow, what kind of people are these, they just met me yesterday and are already buying me presents?'Mariot dropped the bag on
At the harbour, on a beautiful sun-setting evening, a cab pulled over and three beautiful women got out. The driver opened the boot and pulled out a few suitcases. The ladies hopped up in excitement watching people walking up the stairway boarding the super yacht. Many others stood on the stern of the yacht, waving back in excitement."Hurry, hurry, I can't wait to go up there," said Daisy. She wore a blue crop-top and baggy jeans and a Nike cap."Mr, please help us carry the bags inside," said Mariot. She wore a black mini-skirt and a white crop-top.The driver hesitated. "I'm definitely sure they wouldn't allow me pass the docks, miss," said the gentleman giving them a frie
A group of men sat at the VIP area of the party deck, illuminated by flickering party-lights of various colours. Jake was layed back on the couche, deep in thought. His friends heavily involved in a conversation while he warned up to the event. He glanced at his Rolex watch and noticed it was almost nine pm."Gentlemen, this yacht got the most gorgeous women. None of you are leaving here without a lady tonight." Jake heard Donavan say. When he turned to look, all the boys stared at him before they laughed.A waitress came over and brought them another round of wine and shampagne. She poured the wine on their glasses before she left."Not that again you guys," Jake said defending himself and picking up his glass of wine. "I was just knocked out, I don't even know why I didn't black out that night."The boys chortled again, forcing him to continue. "I'm serious, plus I didn't like any of those women, okay.""Jake, how could you not like any of
The full moon, illuminious above the ocean was gorgeous in the eyes of Dohana. She kept her eyes on it, her face joyous despite the breeze of the ocean striking against it.Jake marvelled at the way her coloured long dress tightened around her sculptured figure."What's a princess like you doing in a dump like this?"'Who could that be? Who could this stranger with a deep voice be?'Dohana turned her head slightly to her left as the man stood by her, fixated his eyes on the moon. Dohana stared at him. He was tall and handsome, she thought."Princess?" Dohana voiced out, concern written all over her face. "I'm no princess. What gave you that idea?"Jake looked at her, giving her a subtle smile. She was gorgeous, with her braided and curly flowing hairstyle. Her midnight black hair was flowing down over her shoulders."Well, if a certain kingdom needs a princess. I'd be glad to recommend you, cause you are one beautiful woman."
The loud music banged through the speakers as curves of sexy women in short skirts moved with the beat. Their partners moved along too, their hands holding their partners waists as the women held onto their men's shoulders. The DJ had switched from banging house and pop music to sweet melodies with love tunes. At this time of the hour, only those with partners remained on the dance floor.Jake had finally summoned the courage to hold Dohana's waist as they danced, eyes locked on each other. They smiled each time they made eye contact. Sweat trickled down Jake's forehead as his heart pumped erratically.Dohana blushed as she leaned on Jake's chest, before she twisted and felt his hand grab on hers tight. She could feel her hand slipping away with sw

Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Prince Dominic was furious. How could he have let his guard down. As the renown Prince of Paris, and having trained on the art of combat since he was a child, how could he accept defeat by an amateur. 'Obviously this kid is no experienced fighter, and to be cheated and be outdone by him is just embarrassing. But I'm a Prince, I can't lose.' "I said, say your last words pal!" Jake yelled. Prince Dominic thought of countermeasures quickly. "Who said I've lost," after he spoke, the Prince used his left hand to squeeze Jake's injured shoulder. The Prince had thought about it. He'd hurt Jake where he previously stabbed him and then use this momentum to turn the tables. After using all his strength to squeeze and jab the injured shoulder, Jake merely glanced at his hand. Seeing Jake's smirk, Prince Dominic was astonished. Why is he not hurting? Seeing his puzzled face, Jake leaned back and used his right hand to reveal the wounded area. What?
Pin drop silence followed as all eyes gathered around the man who had just crashed into the wedding hall. Everyone couldn't help but gasp at the sight and the aura that pervaded him. He wore a stylish black suit, with a red tie; the black shades he had on gave him a mysterious demeaner. With his hands jammed into his side pockets, looking extremely relaxed, he smiled as he glanced at the audience. The Queen Mother was staring at him in total bewilderment. She couldn't figure it out. She had done her utmost best to ensure he would never be able to enter the palace, let alone the wedding venue. How did he pass through the thousands of royal soldiers defending the royal palace?"Jake!"Princess Dohana couldn't believe her eyes. She shuddered at the site of him, staggering back.'Finally, my Prince charming didn't let me down. He came to save me. He is really here. Am I dreaming? That means I don't have to marry Dominic, I don't.'As a thousand thoughts ran through Princess Dohana's mind
The atmosphere became tense in a second. Erick Vohn drew out his sword, showing a sneer as he directed his sword towards the Resistance army."How dare you try to deceive us? Do you know who I am?"Mr Heart returned a mocking smirk, "You're the general of a mutilated army.""Shut up! the general shouted, "soldiers, attack!"The royal soldiers roared and charged together simultaneously."Resistance, buckle up and get ready to defend, walls of steel!" As soon as the words resonated through the air, the Resistance formed a straight wall. One soldier had his knee to the ground, the other stood behind him blocking the abdomen, their shields both blocking the opponent. Behind them, the soldiers pushed them hard to resist.When the oncoming traffic of royal soldiers clashed against the wall, they bounced off and stabilised their feet before rushing back. After several attempts, the soldiers began to wonder what was up about the wall? How could their opponents be so strong. Seeing this scen
As the sun rose in the east, Princess Dohana opened her eyes and she couldn't help sighing with emotions. Today was her wedding day but she was sad. She had always imagined her wedding day would be the happiest day of her life. But instead, it promised to become a dreadful day.Soon Princess Dohana picked herself up and prepared to head over to the bathroom to wash up but to her surprise, a man was sitting on a chair looking at her attentively."Prince Dominic!"The Prince smiled and said, "you look even more beautiful when you're sleeping so peacefully."Feeling intruded, Princess Dohana stepped back instinctively and said, "what are you doing here? Don't you know the groom is not supposed to see the bride on the morning of the wedding?"The smile on the Prince's face was quickly replaced by a lazy sneer. "Oh please, cut the crap. It's not like you really want to get married to me."Princess Dohana looked down as she saw his gloomy face.Seeing her so docile, Prince Dominic stood up
The atmosphere in the hall changed, one could cut the air between the Queen Mother and Princess Dohana with a blunt knife. The silence that reigned, if you dropped a pin, it could be heard clearly. Between the royal family, it was Dorah who recovered first. Her sharp eyes stared down the Princess and she couldn't hide her disgust. "You...Dohana, how could you be this stupid? What marriage are you talking about?" Sirah also added, furrowing her brows, "do you mean you're married officially? Like legally?" The Queen Mother cackled out of nowhere. The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the hall as everyone looked at each other in dismay. "Child, don't tell me you got drunk and had an accidental wedding." The Queen Mother continued to laugh. "No. Your majesty, it was a sober day when I got married." "Shut up!" Dorah scolded angrily. 'How shameless can this woman be?' "You shut up, okay!" Dohana retorted, pointing her fore-finger across the lot. "I don't need any of your
At the royal palace, the pre-wedding festivities were still thriving at midnight. Earlier that evening, the Queen Mother had even set up a celebration banquet for the wedding. Everyone had been drinking all night and this time, most of them were drunk. The Prince of Paris, Dominic, kept the crowd alive with his humourous stories. The crowd kept bellowing with laughter. "Imagine, without a penny to his name. A nobody still wants to marry the Princess?" A roar of laughter followed. Raising his voice, Prince Dominic continued. "Huh, trying to wrestle the Prince for his bride? That's like a lightweight trying to wrestle a heavyweight. He has his eyes on the throne? We might as well hand over the kingdom to a peasant." More cachination ensued. Suddenly, the door to the Banquet hall banged open and general Bengy Dowson strode in with a panic. The sudden sound attracted everyone in the hall as they turned to stare. Seeing the serious face of the general, the hall went so silent you cou
All the soldiers glared at the man in disbelief. How could they believe that they had travelled all the way to the Andorrian boarder for nothing. If this was possible, it would mean that they had been tricked all the way here and would not be able to return to El-Tarter on time. Crazy..."What nonsense are you talking about?" Said Bengy Dowson, feeling embarrassed and disgruntled about the possibility of this truth.Mr Goodson took a few deep breaths, walking over with a dertemined look on his face. "General, it's all true. When I returned back to El-Tarter last night, I followed those farmers back to their camp, only to find that they are part of the resistance. They pretended to be returning to the mountains just to avoid your trouble."Hearing this, Mr Dowson turned around to look at the windy mountains. They suddenly felt so abondoned and disolate."General, don't waste your time exploring the mountains. We don't have enough time, let's rush back immediately to catch them unaware
A few hours later, on the outskirts of the El-Tarter, a thousand royal soldiers marched toward the east. The general Bengy Dowson led the men, riding alongside him was none either than Mr Goodson. As the men passed by a narrow path, they saw a few men farming near the river. The general raised his hand up and everyone stopped."Quickly, ask those men if they saw the bandits pass by here lately."A soldier ran down quickly and soon returned."My lord, the farmers say thousands of men passed by here some eight hours ago. They recognised some of them as the mountain bandits."Hearing this, both Bengy and Mr Goodson nodded, but the latter was skeptical. Just as Mr Dowson was about to signal for them to continue, Mr Goodson spoke."Wait, Mr Dowson, don't you think there's something strange going on here?" Mr Goodson said while staring at the farmers."What do you mean," Bengy glared at him suspiciously."Look at it like this," Mr Goodson said, pointing to the farmers. "Why does it seem li
