The boys stood there dumbfounded, glancing at each other for answers. All their eyes finally fell on Donovan, who instantly blushed with Embarrassment.
Jake understood quickly, Donovan hadn't told the boys about what happened that faithful night when he and Lacey bumped into Don and Dohana on a date.
"Donovan, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you this but Lacey rocked up at my office the other day. She said you guys weren't seeing each other at all. And she asked to be my date on the weekend away to Hawaii."
"What!"
"That bitch!"
"Is she crazy?" The boys lamented, appalled at what they were just hearing.
"So, knowing that she was your woman, I didn't agree at the time, n
"You really came." Jake was exctatic in his heart, trying his best to suppress his emotions. Dohana came closer, one hand dragging her suitcase, smiling as she gazed at Jake. "I came, you made it up to me so, I came." Suddenly, the group of friends were all flustered. They stared at Jake, and then at Lacey, wondering what Jake would do now. Noticing something was amiss, Dohana lost the smile and subconsciously looked around the crowd. 'What? Lacey Crawford is here?' When Dohana spotted Lacey, she frowned and glanced at the girls. Traces of guilt and awkwardness were written on their faces. Dohana knew immediately what the situation could be, but to be sure, she calculated the couple's quickly.
Reaching the Ferguson Hights, Jake didn't waste time and rushed up directly. The security guard recognised him and was stunned to see him react that way. He shrugged and continue to guard. Jake knocked at the door heavily for a few times and soon the door swung open. "Jake, what the hell!" Mariot yelled as she stood behind the door. "Mariot, I'm sorry, okay. Is Dohana inside?" Jake asked anxiously. "No, she-" "What do you mean? She left the airport, she must have come here." Mariot looked perplexed, "she agreed to go with you? Then...what did you do to her?" Sensing that Mariot was shocked, Jake knew that Dohana couldn't be in t
"Yes," Jake nodded with a smile. "I will-" Dohana turned to face the ocean and interrupted him. "You chose me even after I released the video and probably bankrupt your company?" Jake sighed and came closer. "Dohana, it all makes sense to me now. I don't need the company, I don't need to be a CEO either. All that is just materialistic. What I really need is you." Dohana had tears building up at this stage. "But...you said you don't like me before, why now?" "I was a fool then, I didn't know what I wanted. I said I wanted someone unique, and you are all that, I mean who could challenge me like you did? Who could have the guts to look at Jake Larson and pour a drink over his head? Which woman it's gods green earth would start a company and actually succeed to bankrupt
Perceiving the danger in Dohana's eyes, Jake didn't ask questions. He grabbed her hand and they both rushed up the docks. "Dohana, I said I'll protect you. Just follow me, okay." Jake shouted as they ran, leading her towards the taxi. The driver was laid back taking a nap when a loud bang awoke him. He saw Jake banging the door repeatedly. "Buddy, what's wrong?" He said opening the door as Jake and Dohana got in. "Start the car quickly, take us out of here!" Seeing the urgency in Jakes eyes and the sound of his voice, the driver quickly started the car and drove out of the docks. As the boats arrived at the docks, Mark Norman watched the princess and his friend r
The couple had just finished their dinner when the waitress served them drinks. Jake stashed some dollars under the bill, leaving a huge tip to go with it. He looked at Dohana with expectancy. Perceiving Jake's stare, Dohana shrugged, "what?" "Sweetheart, I think it's time you tell me what's happening. Who are those men in those ships and why did we have to get away?" Dohana sighed and glanced around, "Jake, I'm not who you think I am. My identity is rather…" "Ah! I knew it," Jake sighed leaning back on his chair. "You are not as simple as we thought. I mean how could you afford to start up such a big company." Jake wiped his excited smile with a frown, "then who are you?" "
A Buggati parked by the airport gate and two figures got off and rushed in while holding hands. The male had long black hair, a huge moustache that covered the whole face and had a black rope on. The woman wore long blond hair, with heavy pink make up and she looked very pretty. As they walked, they had a subtle conversation. "Dohana, this diguise is so good, I don't think they will be able to spot us." Dohana giggled. "Credits to your driver, he knew exactly where to get these disguises. And now the plane leaves in fifteen minutes, that's enough time to sneak in and leave undetected." "Yeah," Jake cried, "I don't know about leaving here without my clothes and all-" "Jake, your bag must still be at the baggage area, let's go-"
A private plane was speeding on a run way of a private property that belonged to a prominent billionaire. As it lifted off, a couple stared at each other with excitement. "We're finally off to Andorra." "What did I say?" Jake said with a smile, his eyes piercing through Dohana's, making her blush. "Well, how was I supposed to know that Mr Larson is so well connected?" "Mr Larson?" Jake kept the grin, as his eyes sparkled looking at the beauty that sat beside him. Dohana was blushing, causing Jake to continue. "Does that mean I've finally pulled my end of my bargain and delivered? Well, since now you're referring to me as Mr Larson?" "Well," Dohana turned to look at him, her
The Queen Mother and the various cousins of Dohana stared at her in utter astonishment. Their mouths gaping on the breakfast table. For over a minute, the table was quiet. 'What?' Jake was dumbfounded, 'a King? Did I hear that right?' Jake glanced at Dohana. 'Is something wrong with her? How can she casually say if I'm married to her I'll become the King? What's going on here?' The Queen Mother shook her head before she began a short cackle. When she stopped, she gave Dohana a gloomy stare and giggled. "Dohana, you're really full of humour, when did you learn to make lame jokes?" With a straight face, Dohana quickly answered her back, "it's not a joke, Mother. Since you want to marry me off to a wicked Prince, I decided to run away from home and find myself the
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
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
