_EPISODE_13🎻.
his phone rang,he st©pped staring at whatever thing he is looking on my b©dy and reached for his gold la-id phone.
He looked into it and got off the be-d, he strolled around the room with his phone,guess it is business for he speaks so professionally.
“Okay”📲
“I will be the city today”📲
“just to see the industry plus the worth of the offer”📲
soon it was over and he c@m£ back to be-d,his be-d sli-pper was still on…
soo cute.
my eyes caught a gold anklet on his feet,I bashed my lashes and stared at the anklet again,it was very similar to the br@nd of gold nkem gave me.
what can this mean?.
I got so confused.
But wait-
what am I even thinking?
Lotanna might as well have the same br@nd,it doesn’t mean the w@!st chain can come from him.
I opened my closed eyes a little bit and look at him very well.A band was de-eped in his hair,he still wore a simple diamond earring and two gold rings to sleep.
finally,I turned my back against him, now that I have seen his face,I can now sleep peacefully.
his image as he stared at me keep on appearing in my memory-
what can he be staring at?.
I glance down at myself, I know I didn’t tie the rope well but nothing was expo-sed.I look clas-sic might be the reason he stared.
there is a glas-s wall opposite the wall where i can watch his every move. I could see him busy with the thing he called l@pt©p. He shut it afterwards and stood to turn off the lights,he dimmed it red,the white light from his phone still brightened some area as I could not see well with red lights.
He entered the be-d and dropped his phone,the white light went off. He la-id well,I felt him close.
I wish he will just answer the question I asked but he ignored- does that mean he s£nt nkem to me.
ohh gaaad,am confused because we have the same br@nd of gold,
he has his own as anklet while I have mine as w@!st chain.
can it be him??
He got so close,
I felt his hand on my hair…he chuckled.
“this your hairstyle look funny?” he said…
I smiled out tears.
“who is crying?” he asked.
“aah no one” I laughed.
“what’s this hairstyle called?” he asked,still tou-ching it..
“ummm..it is called “no leg” I said.
he laughed.
“what about “no hand” he said.
I laughed.
“guess I found the leg” he said and loose out a p@rt.
“Awwww,you loosed it” I said and fixed it back.
“that day you sang with me,did you add your p@rt on that same day or you’ve learnt it before?” he asked.
“I added it the first day we sang together at the stream,although you didn’t know it was me but I knew it was you” I said.
“why didn’t show your face then,you gave me so much stress and kept me in lots of suspence” he said.
“Aaah,sorry.My stepmother mustn’t know I sing”, I said.
“what about your father?” he asked.
“I don’t have one,he disowned me when I was ba-rely 8” I replied..
“Any family” he asked.
“I never had the chance to meet them” I said and imagined him taking hisl-ips in.
“how many jobs did you work before Tracy c@m£ into the picture?” he asked.
I smiled out tears,
seems he really care about me.
“Jobs,I do all jobs….
I weave mat,I can plait hair, I can sew cloth,I can knight,I do laundry,onome always use me for many things” i said.
“you also fetch water,bu-mp into lotanna and gave him a cut on his hand” he said.
I laughed as I remembered that day.
He also laughed,
I felt like turning to look in his face and watch him laugh.
“hmm sir,did you deliver gold w@!st chain to anyone recently?” I asked again,hoping he would be the one.
no words,he didn’t reply.
“what gold chain is that?” he asked.
chimoo😱😱😱😱
when I thought he was the one-
I pinched my cheek;
Adeife are you okay?.
Just because he saved you doesn’t mean all that,he is only helping you because his sister likes you.
“tell me,what gold chain is that?”
he asked.
“nothing sir,I think I lost my s-en-se”
I f0rç£d out a smile.
see what staying with Lotanna can cause!!
ngozi thought I was joking when I said the w@!st chain can’t come from you.
so after all,nkem is my destiny.
well,I accept it.
lotanna was close enough,he untied my robe and did it in the right way.
I felt like someone else as he did that.
Next day
6:00am🕕🕕🕕🕕🕕🕕
I felt him tapping my back,I quic-kly stood up, sleep was still in my eyes so I wasn’t seeing well.I mistakenly lean into him; was I high?.
I pu-ll-ed back and bowed.
He nodded and took my hands out, we got downstairs to his living room where he left my hand,he turned on the light ,everywhere was now bright.
I got to the door and waited patiently for him to come and open it.
He opened it and tried moving out, that was when he dragged me back his other hand circled my w@!st so ro-mantically so as to prevent me from falling.
my eyes wi-de-ned as his hand t©uçhed my killer h!ps.
“sirrrr?” I said.
“I didn’t want to tell you this but i just have to do it” he said.
“sirrrr? I said.
“let no one find out about the gold chain,it c@m£ from me” he said and leaned in like he wanted to k!ssme.
I felt like my throat was taken away,
I shut my eyes.
someone entered,
I hastily left him in fear and turned, it turned out to be his younger sister-
Amarachi.
Our eyes locked,I moved away from lotanna hastily.
“good morning” she greeted her brother.
what am I still doing here?.
I ran out to the maids quarter where I bu-mped into ebere.
“hi” she greeted piously.
“where are you coming from” age said as she look all over me.
“umm from…” I hit my head.
“and where did you get a queen robe from,dumebi see what she is putting on” chioma said.
I rolled my eyeba-lls.
the other girls looked in my direction when they heard “queen robe”.
“waooow,this girl will pas-s by for a queen…she is a pretty one” Rhoda said.
“I wish for the likes of herl-ips…so nicely pouted,her h!ps made Prince Iyke went crazy” Vicky said.
“are you d@t!nga royalty?” dumebi got jealous.
they all surround me.
“Ife wait!!
“is it nkem??
“gosh,he sle-pt with you….you’re a lucky one!!!
“tell me what was his best S-x position?”
“is he 30mins man or a hour man?”
the girls were sounding so annoying, most especially chioma.
“Can you just leave this girl alone?”
Ebere shouted.
“eeeeh eeeh eeeh miss judge we-tin be your own hia! you leave your matter come carry someone else matter for head… Abeg flush away from here” dumebi said.
“biko pack well” chioma said.
“but I thought you were on detention, did nkem saved you? Rhoda asked.
dumebi went as far to press my b©dy a common way of knowing if someone had S-x, I waved her hands away.
“I don’t think she had S-x,see her br£@st is still pointing” chioma said.
I felt like sl@pping her.
someone knocked,they all went to their place.
the door opened,it was Mrs okafor.
waoow,she’s back.
“welcome ma’am” I greeted.
“God bless you all” she smiled and started sharing candies.
“where’s Adeife?” she asked.
“am here” I said.
she got confused.
“am the one, just that it is complicated” I said.
she smiled.
“Aaah” she said.
I opened my mouth,she put the candy in.
“it is well with you” she said and left.
the girls hurried and went out to join her.I stayed back and brou-ght out something else to wear.
I remembered what lotanna did.
but he told me female nighties-
was I blind? why didn’t I see it yesterday that it look like royalty.
Ebere c@m£ in.By then I had alre-ady changed fully and I was keeping the cloth I took off.
Ebere c@m£ to my side.
“you forgot to re-move this” she pointed to my hair.
“what is that?” I asked as I t©uçh my hair.
“this” she moved closer,I t©uçhed it and it was a hair chain.
so this is the reason lotanna t©uçhed my hair,he was actually fixing this.
“it’s nothing,aunty Tracy bought it for me” I told Ebere. Hi ome on+233544142683 to be added story headquarters room.
we both walked out.
Mrs okafor alre-ady shared duties. Ebere and i were to go to Veer market.
She gave me the money and told Ebere what was nee-ded..
we left.
Onome’s p.ov🎤.
I gathered my money that morning. I know I still have to get Ife back but it seem so impossible.
Adaobi c@m£ in with my sto-re key.
“did you wash the floor?” I asked.
“no ma’am, I didn’t wash the sto-re floor,I only wash the curtains with sweepings” she replied.
I grinned wickedly.
“you see Adaobi,the girl that was here before…always know what to do at the right time,if I call her once she always answer hundred times….
I have my wicked side and in other to avoid my wraths always obey my order” I said.
“but mama, that was the girl.
The sto-re floor is too dirty,no matter how long I wash,it won’t get neat” she said…
“you can’t wash bah! oya go inside” I said..
“biko mama oooooo” she screamed.
I picked the nearest stick,
she ran back.
Soon,olamma c@m£ in.
By then I alre-ady stood up and gather my money.
“Oluchi,did you sweep my room?”
she asked.
“uchechi did you wash my dirty clothes?” she asked.
“yes,they are done” oluchi and uchechi rushed out.
she rolled her eyeba-lls and faced me.
“what’s wrong?” I asked.
“Akuna said I should meet her at veer market,guess we should go together” she replied and followed me out.
The two maids followed us out.
“oluchi stay back” I said.
so olamma,myself and uchechi left for veeer market.
⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰
we got to the market,
I remembered i still nee-d some diabolical stuff.At least if I can’t get Ife back,I should be able to fight her spiritually.
The rowdy market suddenly bec@m£ silent, a royal chariot was pas-sing.
“he is from what kingdom?” olamma asked…
the chariot st©pped in a p@rticular sp©t.
“why is he st©pping?” she asked.
“seems he is staring at something, what can it be?” she asked curiously.
everywhere was as silent as a grave yard,the young prince stepped out.
where to???
everyone look in his direction,
I turned,
Olamma stared with de-sires..

[I know you won’t stay💝]
.
#SEASON_2_EPISODE_14🎻.
I made a puzzled look.Olamma,my daughter taped me.
“mama what can be happening there. .. it’s actually wrong for a prince to stag long in a crowded place like market” olamma said.
“or does he wants to buy something, if he wants to then one of his guards should do that” olamma still said.
“you’re right,this is slightly wrong”
I replied her and tried seeing,
but the crowd got much.
more people trooped in,ma-king it more difficult to see throu-gh.
“mama am coming,I want to go and see” olamma said and left,
I watched blarily as she squee-zed herself into the crowd.
Ebere’s p.o.v🎤
Ife stayed behind me while I was busy pointing at the things Mrs okafor s£nt us…
suddenly,the market got quiet and the crowd and piercing eyes got out of hand.
A royal chariot was opposite the place Ife and I where buying stuffs.
what can be happening?
Royalty should be seen in a place like this-
Yet,I admired the chariot.
It smells of wealth in all.
The prince could be seen inside the chariot,his eyes was glued in my direction.
gosh,I got hypnotized.
my prince charming finally arrived.
Ebere a prince is staring at you-
I couldn’t breath well,for I felt so special and happy.
I got heated up that I even forgot I was buying things.I stared back at the prince.
He had this type of dreaming brown eyes,his brows was sharp,his nose nicely pointed and hisl-ips looks soo soft and beautifully pouted.
But he is still not as handsome as Lotanna and Jedinna.
I felt his sight from the chariot, if this is really love at first sight,am glad it c@m£ for me.
the crowd got much still,
many maidens were drooling on the prince,
many admired the chariot,
many were there to know what was going on.
I stylishly look in his direction again,
his eyes was looking elsewhere behind me!
gosh😱😱 and I thought it was me he was staring at .
I sighed as I traced his eyes,it landed on Adeife who was behind my back,
Ife who was busy interacting with the trader since she’s with the money,
someone who doesn’t even care if people are looking at her.
I bite myl-ips beautifully.
The unknown prince waved at me from his chariot, I could see the rings on his five f!ngers.
I un-derstand the wave and shift away so he can see Ife clearly.
my eyes caught princess akuna in one side…
“what’s she looking for?…
beside her was olamma- speaking of the she devils.
“is there anything we are buying again?” Ife asked without turning.
“see the prince is staring at you,I think you should go to him” I whispered another thing.
“sir I think this is all what we want to buy” she replied something else.
“Ife see the crowd,everyb©dy is staring at you.Won’t you go to the prince,this is really love at first sight” I said.
“you should see princess akuna’s face right now,even olamma and your step mother are staring” I said.
“happy staring in advance” she replied and untie the place she kept the money.
“Ife what do you see opportunity as, this is what everyb©dy wish for like in folk tales” I said to her.
“let him continue admiring God’s creativity” she replied.
I still turned to the prince direction in the chariot..
🚺 gosh,she got proud”
🚺 and she’s a maid” I heard olamma
the prince heard “and she is a maid” he got more interested.
He might want to take actions with his control.
I got angry and faced olamma.
“how can you say such things in the public? did you hook your br@in alongside your br@” I snapped lowly.
the gossipers were still around staring of course.
“my beautiful maiden,my prince calls for you! one of the royal guard c@m£ to Adeife.
Princess Akuna scoffed and strolled away with her crews angrily.
“sir,my change”
Adeife says to the trader as she counts money to pay.
“ohh don’t bother,my maiden” the royal guard said and brou-ght out a hvge calabash filled with gold coin.
is this really money?
two girls fainted in the crowd.
I sighed,conniption gr!pp£dme also.
.
the royal guard paid and dropped another gold coin calabash to Ife’s pres£nce.
“can you now see my prince?”
he asked.
Ife stayed quiet.
“he is waiting for you there in the chariot” he said.
Ife shook her head negatively as I pinch her to say yes.
“I don’t want to come,I don’t want your money also” she shakes her head.
“aaahh,don’t mind her she will come” I said,she sh0t me a glare.
“my prince is waiting,you must have heard of Jedioku kingdom” the guard said..
Adeife stayed quiet,likewise me.
“Jedioku is the third largest and wealthiest,Ife this is a dream come true” I said,in a whisper.
The prince moved out of the chariot and approached our direction,
two girls fainted.
hmmmm,what will happen if they see Lotanna or Jedinna.
“long life my prince” Ife and I bowed.
likewise the people that were near,
I felt that honour.
“can we just talk?” he said.
Ife still stayed quiet,
the stares still got much.
🚺 wait,who’s she?
🚺 is she a meremaid?
🚺 and I always think Akuna is the prettiest!!
🚺 who’s her family?
🚺 what kingdom is she from?
I heard things.
I could also feel the glares the prince gave Ife,ohh goodness he is in love!.
“whenever I see a rare beauty like you,falling in love is like eating getting drun!kof palmwine”he said.
what a voice!!!
“I saw you and couldn’t think of anything else,your scent and face is all i nee-d and want every time I wake up,these words are true, they are not meant to flatter you but to convey the true intentions of my heart,your undying love is all I ask for….”
he added..
“you’re a natural,you look so innocent i hope your character is as clean as your looks” he said.
two girls pas-sed out.
I pinched Ife to say something.
she raised her head and couldn’t withstand the eyes watching her.
“I do not mean to disrespect anyb©dy but I nee-d to go,the person that s£nt me message would be worried sick..
can you permit me to leave?”
she asks..
the prince still stared at her, I un-derstand those looks.
Next, he asks he “who is your father in this land”….
everywhere was quite.
“I….I….I…my father!
“plea-se i nee-d to go” she said in tears and gr@bb£d the two baskets of what we bought,she didn’t only walk out on the prince,she ran away.
murmurs was heard everywhere.
but I pity Ife,why would she walk out.
the guards had wanted to follow her but he st©pped them with three simple words.”let her be”.
“for we shall see each other again” he added.
🚺 waooow!
🚺 this is so unbelievable!
🚺 she turned down the prince… .
🚺 gosh,and I thought Akuna was the prettiest…
🚺 hey,who’s she?
🚺 is she your friend?
🚺 what’s her name!!!!!!!
“Adeife” I replied.
🚺 Ife! Ade! deife!! didi!!!
🚺 help me give this gift to her!!
🚺 hope she will attend the p@rty in the next three moons???
🚺 give her this earrings!
🚺 this pair of dress would suite her.
I got so many questions.
even the prince was still stunned that she ran away.
I cleared my throat.
Now I have so many gifts for Ife, that girl is really lucky. .
she ran away simply means she is not a cheap person; she have self control and would never get carried away by material things.
I cleared my throat again.
then I bend to carry the calabash that contain money.Even if she doesn’t say yes to the prince,I must gain something by being her friend.
“Umm my prince you don’t nee-d to worry about the money, I will help you speak to her and deliver this money to her” I beamed with a bow..
someone coughed,
I turned sideways and there stood Ngozi with a local bell.
she actually c@m£ here to sell and I thought she wasn’t in the crowd..
“scam” she muttered.
I also left the crowd.
Jesus,they s£nt me message! I ran with all the gifts and of course the money.
Adeife’s p.o.v😍😍😍😍🎤
I hurried back to the palace,
like I knew,Mrs okafor got so worried she was even about s£nding guards to look for Ebere and I.
“what made you stayed long?”
she asked.
“umm there were lots of customers there,we had to wait for our turn” I replied and proceed to drop the baskets.
“where’s Ebere?” she asked.
“she’s on her way” I replied.
“but you left together right?” she asked…
I scratched my n£¢k.
“yes..but…” I stammered and stared in a pitiful manner.
one of the maids called her attention, that was how i got freed..
I did my duty and went back to the maids quarter where I met Ebere with so many gifts and that same calabash of money.
“don’t tell me all these are for you”
dumebi said and picked a pair of earring.
“And I love this also” she picked a pair of pretty wra-pper.
“common drop it,miss eye service….have you forgotten how you abused me yesterday”
Ebere hissed and hijacked everything from her.
“Ife be fast,we nee-d to talk” she said.
“About what! chioma cuts in.
I rolled my eyeba-lls and selected what I wanted to wear.
I freshened up and got dressed.
I wanted to go out,Ebere c@m£ in.
I cleared my throat.
“hope it’s not about the market?”
I asked.
someone knocked.
“excuse me,who’s Adeife? Princess Akuna wants to see her” the little girl said..
“what did she say I do?” I questioned.
“how am i suppose to know” she replied.
.
I sighed and followed her.
We reached the garden where she was.She was with her friends.
Ain’t they shameful????
and I wonder if the queen knows their true colours.
i had even wanted to report to her that Akuna always bully me…
but she does not always reply my greetings,how will she now listen to me then?.
“she’s here” the little girl said and went away..
ohh god save your daughter!.
I looked around,no one was there.
Just then footsteps approached, I turned it was Ebere watching us from afar.
I saw Ngozi behind her..
Did she come to see me?? She really c@m£ in the wrong time.
I sighed as i faced the bunches of rude and jobless princesses.
“gosh,you don’t know how I felt…. That prince is my dream man,he is my crush.. I actually c@m£ to veer market today so that he would notice me…
the most painful p@rt was that he has never said a girl is beautiful, I was shocked when he asked this tramp out openly” one of the princesses bur-st out.
I couldn’t recognize her cos have not met her before.
“but I didn’t tell him yes..
I ran away…how is it my fault, I didn’t actually went to meet him.He was the one to c@m£ to meet me,I was just on my own” I explained.
she stepped forward with her flowing red princess regalia.
she cut a p@rticular leaflet.
“and she still have mouth to talk”
xara said.
I sh0t her a glare.
“ohh my god,she looked me with bad eyes” she shouted.
“can you just leave this girl alone for once….this is annoying, she’s pretty she’s pretty,who wouldn’t look.
Am sure your father the king will look” princess sharia said.
Akuna sh0t her a glare.
The rude princess still approached me with a leaflet..
ohh my gaad,I will get marks today again!…
“Akuna tell your friends to st©p”
I said,their servants made me kneel down.
“that gold chain,do you have it”
akuna asked.
“well….Akuna this is not fair oo, have you ever known what pain is” I said.
“you just called my name..
she said furiously and collected the leaflet from the other princess.
I shut my eyes and left myself for her,after all am just a maid..
I waited for her to wh!pme,she didn’t and I opened my eyes.
Her hands was alre-ady down, and her friends had their faces down…
Fear was written all over their face..
“gosh😱 is that him”
I heard one of them say..
“Akuna,is this what you are???
I heard voices..
I turned,it was prince Lotanna
Akuna quic-kly had on fake tears. Hope she won’t make me look like a bad person?.
