She has been trying to hide her real identity from a very long time and after so many struggles and all she had made sure nobody knows about her but here a man just casually called her by her real name. She looked at Stella to confirm she hasn't head and yes she hasn't as she was asleep.
"Angelica Kenneth is your real name, Right? Valentine asked but there's no way that is a question.
"Don't call me by that name. Who are you? And what the hell do you want?" Angelica asked her eyes furrowed.
He pulled her to him by waist as she was pushing herself away from him.
"You'll wake your friend if you pushed any further", he told her and slowly his left hand pulled her right hand to his face to kiss the back of her hand. This is a formal greeting there in the west.
"Milady, I hope I hadn't annoyed the princess." He said politely with a wide smile on his face.
Her heart was beating fast in her chest. She wanted to know the man's intention but he didn'
Car stopped and the driver remarked, "It is here""Let's talk inside", Valentine said smilingly and kissed the back of her hand. She wasn't resisting anymore. She was curious to know how he survived."Let's go", Valentine said to bring her back from her mind. He stepped outside and offered his hand to Angelica.Angelica stepped inside the restaurant with him. She diverted her sight away from Valentine to look around, "There ain't anyone here""I booked this hall room", Valentine said."I see"The waiter approached them and offered them a seat in the middle of the hall room. The table was well organized. She noticed how they have followed western royal ways of doing things. The way the tables were decorated and everything felt homelike.Valentine pulled out the chair offering her to seat and she sat there. It's been long since she has been treated like this. She left her home a long ago and she has adopted a lot to the northern way of
"Show me the bullet scar on your left leg"He furrowed his eyes, "you're kidding me, here""Are you being shy?" She didn't moved her eyes away but stared right into his eyes."Milady, let's eat here for now and I will show you later." He forced a smile."Why?""Because I am saying""I am also saying.""Milady, you're being rude to your host." Valentine said. He knows his wound hasn't aged yet. It's still new. If pressed against it will reopen.The waiter brought the food and placed it on the table in front of them and there were others too to serve them. Her honey blonde eyes were still looking in his blue ones. She was persistent."Are you for real?" Valentine said, " there are people looking at us", he tried to cut her off."Then ask them to not to look"Being accustomed to royal life where people even bathed you and served you every second. She was used to people eyes and she never felt uncomfortable. It
Valentine laughed, " I will take it as a complement"His phone rang and he saw the caller tune it was from 'Michael Iselgais'. He held his phone low enough that even Angelica can look at the caller name."Who is he?"" A friend of mine, excuse me", he replied and picked up the phone."Valentine, Where are ya pal? Let's meet for the last time before me and Stephen leave.", Said Mike on phone that only Valentine could hear."How is it with Stephen?", Valentine asked knowing that Stephen drank a lot yesterday out of sadness. Even though he was used to this after every times he break up but still too much drinking is alarming."Nevermind, the whining man, he promises he ain't getting into another relationship but God tell him he had promised the same thing a hundred times before too", Mike angered staring at Stephen, he was irked.On the background, a crying voice came from Stephen, " You guys never believe me. I will prove you two wrong.
Scientist George Milton calls Valentine."They are having a hard time to find her location but somehow they have managed to gain many crucial information which the Kenneth's family is trying to hide as soon as possible by power.", Scientist George said."It's alright ask them to stop their stop", Valentine casually said."Are yo
Valentine paused the game and looked at Stefon, " Reply to what Mike has said", Mike paused his game knowing he will be getting a better scene now. And he stared at Stefon too."Are you two ganging up against me?", Stefon asked looking helpless."Answer", Mike asked in a teasing tone.Stefon looked at Valentine to confirm if he meant that and he did." F###", Stefon admitted his defeat, " You two are killing me from that staring"" I dropped Stella and her friend to their hostel yesterday", said Valentine to which Stefon's eyes widened." I am close to her friend and I even have her number and ", Valentine paused and continued in a teasing tone, " I can ask her to give me Stella's
"How did you go home last night?", Anna asked. She held her head high looking down on Stella continuously. Anna is smaller in height than Stella but she was wearing high heels, and that made a huge difference in height making her look taller.Stella was a bit surprised to hear her ask that, " Lucia came to pick me up""You have learnt to lie now", questioned Anna."I see no reason to lie", Stella replied."There shouldn't be any either. My parents are sheltering you, you should be grateful and repay by being honest and faithful to us. So, tell me. Why were you in Valentine's car last night? What were you doing in his car?""Actually, the cab Lucia booked last night had a puncture and Mr. Valentine decided to help us. That's i
Chapter 21"I kid you not""When I was little, I went to the castle once on their only hier Angelica Kenneth's 8th birthday. She was so pretty and magnificent to look at. She looked really beautiful. I still cannot forget the colour of her hair and eyes."Mika leaned forward, " What was the colour of her hair and her eyes?". Lucia's goosebumps raised. There were so many at the royal ball that she doesn't remember seeing her but it shouldn't be surprising that she does."Surprisingly, I have an example to show you", Lucia stared back to look into Stella's eye if she knew something but the look on her face was innocent."You know what, she had the same hair colour as Lucia, bright long straight blonde hair. Even Princess Angeli
"Your grandmother is home today. Do not tell her you were hanging out with friends, you will only start a question answer series on yourself" said his father Henderson Crimson. Valentine nodded.His grandmother came and sat next to Valentine, Valentine bowed standing up from his seat to pay respect and sat when his grandmother asked him to."It's been so long since the last time I saw my grandson and looked at him. He is all skinny now.""It's not skinny, Grandmother.""What do you mean by that? Your cheeks have sunken in""I am just growing up", said Valentine."Look at the child not admitting at all. You should eat more.", His Grandmother scolded him, " Where were you? It's Sund
Stella walked out first like always. Mika was packing her stuff lazily as Leah was just about to leave the room too."Leah""What is it?", Leah didn't glance at her."What are your thoughts about the last night?""Dam!""Huh!", Mika furrowed, "What kind of reaction is that?""That was a damn scary unexpected night.""Hmmm", Mika nodded."What do you think about Lucia?", Mika asked further after a long break.Leah didn't say a thing but started doing her bed which was already been done."The man was c
One of the men who was earlier holding the 38-year-old Rex captive held Rex's neck low when Rex tried to raise his voice against Princess Angelica.Valentine looked at Angelica thinking maybe it would have bothered her a little bit but when he turned to look at her, she had an unbothered expression on her face. She closes her phone and said something to Valentine."They will be here by an hour.""That is quick", Valentine was surprised. His uncle is in another country and flying from one to another usually takes a lot longer. Visa process and all but then he thought that she and her family isn't someone normal but the monarch of the west and it made much more sense.~~~Valentine sat next to Angelica but the awkwardness had f
Before the end of the knife could touch Angelica she dodged it but the man’s actions cannot be stopped. He raised the knife again for another hit and this time Lucia cannot doge it, she had hit her back in the bedpost and there was no other way out.Noise from many men running towards the room hushed and in no time the man was held captive. He struggled to set himself free from the two men holding, his knife was taken away.“Ahhhh”, the man held captive was making a ruckus now.Valentine brought them all here and his timing was awesome. One more second and no one can guarantee what would have happened next.Lucia relaxed her chest catching the breaths she mixed. Valentine had no time to look at the man held captive. He gave a hand to L
Leah stood up on her feet. To see what is happening, it took her some time before she could adjust to the brightness of the room but now that she could see clearly. Nothing was making sense to her.Who was knocking at the door in the middle of the night. Why are they standing still shocked in front of the door?What is happening there?Stella asked whispering into Lucia's ears, "Who is it at the door?""I do not know that but we should not open the door at any cost."Leah heard the whispering and was caught off guard with all this happening around them.A thief or burglary is not possible at hostels but then what else could it be that they
Scientist George Milton searched for what was it, that made it work out and he was confused to see the outcome. His old commands didn’t work the last time and were showing problems in the functioning. And now it worked smoothly and when he searched for more, he found out that there have been more commands that he doesn't remember entering. It feels like something that only he could enter but he doesn’t remember doing it but he doesn't think anyone else than him did it. He was thrown a bunch of questions.Why weren’t the terms working earlier and what happened this time? And who else could have the same brain as him? Or was it really hi?Or did the future him be involved in all this?But why would his future one stop him in the very first place?
Valentine went to visit scientist George Milton.“So, how is it all going?”, Valentine said.George was discussing something with his subordinates but he dismissed them when he heard Valentine and asked him to follow him to the office.Scientist George handed Valentine the documents he got from the secret team.“These are all. They have got from their research.”“I see”, Valentine glanced through them.“They were curious as to why you stopped them from further research. I didn’t tell you that you have already found the girl. They claim to have found someone who knows where the princess Angelica Kenneth is.”
Lucia has come back.She went to her hostel room to find Leah and Mika are arguing over something and Stella seems done from all this. She sat on her bed listening to music and scrolling through her mobile phone screen.“Girls, What’s up with this kitty fight?”“Mika has gone mad again”, Leah complained with her arms closed.“You’re dating and we never knew it”, Mika cried.“WHAAattt!!”, Lucia said, “I am dating and I don’t know a thing about it”“What do you mean?”Mika asked, “What’s with you hiding about going out with a male? You're not dating him, so What are you doing?”
"I lost my appetite", Lucia stood from her seat, "I am going to take some fresh air" and she left.Valentine has never hated his decision of starting a conversation like this before. He himself was worried from hearing so many people after her life. But her reaction has worried him even more. He clenched his hands and then called out for someone to clean it all.Valentine joined Lucia by sitting next to her in an open garden which was situated behind the resort. Lucia didn't see him coming so she was a bit surprised when she sensed someone sitting next to her but then it was Valentine, she relaxed."What was it, inside?""Nevermind", Lucia tried standing only to get pulled by Valentine.She was on him, her one hand rested on
There came a knock on the door, "Meal is ready".Valentine's hand was too close from her face, almost about to touch them but he retrieved his hand back."Let's go", he said standing. Lucia stood next awkward.~~~"Lucy, come here", Valentine did the seat and after making her sit, he sat back on his seat. He asked everyone to leave them alone."Lucy, I was curious if you were ever to go back to your home.""Before leaving, I told them all, I ain't returning back, never", Lucia cut her food, "why do you ask? Does it matter to you?""It doesn't matter and yet it does. But anyway", Valentine started cutting his meat too," Actu
