EMMA POV
We both turned to find Micheal standing by the door,Starring at the both of us.
“Why are you here? “I asked
“Didn’t you guys miss me,I didn’t communicate with you for a week and you never bothered to call and ask about me”He said
“St©p with the joke and just tell us why you are here,Brian is in the chapel and if he should see you here,He will be furious”Nina said
“Relax,I made sure Brian and his stupid guards didn’t see me and as of now,He is locked up in a room with the priest”
“What do you mean by locked up?”I asked
“Are you planning on causing another harm?”Nina asked
“Relax,I listened to what you said Dora and I won’t t©uçh him until you are married to him and once the fortune is in your hands,Then I will strike but now he is safe”He said
“I still can’t trust you,I will go and check on him”Nina said running off
“That girl! I thought I told her to st©p having feelings for him,Seems like love has blinded her,I just hope you won’t be like her and fall for him too”
“I have no intention of falling for any one, Not when am being f0rç£d to live a lie”I said
“That’s my girl,You know how to be professional and you know how to deal with your emotion, That was why I chose you for the job”
“Well it seems like youve chos£n wrong this time because Brian alre-ady suspect me”I said
“That son of a………..,He sure is smart but not smarter than me, Don’t worry,Have made sure to cover your tracks,Even if they try,They won’t find a thing about you”He said
“Really?”
“Yes,So don’t worry about Brian and just continue with our plan,Though Nina might be in love with him, In the end she will still st©p that feeling,After all she is only interested in getting her share of the deal”
“Now go and worry no more,cause your big brother is here”He said
“If you were really my big brother,You won’t make me do this”
“Just be thankful that I chose you,When all this is over,You will be known as a Wealthy widow and with your share you will be able to take care of your dad”He said
“How is he?”I asked
“Doing fine! Just keep it in mind that I won’t hurt your dad if you do as I say”
“And that is by getting married to Brian and then I get all his property and then I help you kill him”I finish
“Yup,Am glad to know that you still have that in mind”He said
“Its better you leave,You wouldn’t want him seeing the both of us together”
“I will but one last thing,Don’t you make the same mistake Nina did,Don’t you fall for Brian,I mean it”He said and walk off
I sighed gently and thought about what he said
If only he knew about my deal with Brian,He would have chos£n Nina to do it instead of me
Though Nina loves Brian,She is ambitious and am sure that she would chose money over love a hundred times.
I just hope that she won’t break Brian heart,I thought
I was about to leave when I saw some thing on the floor.
It was a ring and it was Micheal,How can the fool be care less with his wedding ring,I thought as I went throu-gh the path he followed.
It led to the back entrance of the church,I was about going when I saw Micheal and he wasn’t alone.
Nina was with him,I hid behind the door and gently spy on them.
But she was suppose to be with Brian,She ran off saying she was going to meet him and why is she here? I thought as I kept on starring at the both of them.
I couldn’t hear what they were saying but from their expression,I could tell that they were having an argument
And just then Micheal pu-ll-ed Nina to him,k!ss!ngher.
I thought that Nina would push him away but instead she drew him closer and k!$$£d him back
What is this? I thought still starring at them,If she loves Brian,Why is she k!ss!ngMicheal?
quic-kly I ran back to the balcony,I still can’t believe what I saw just now.
I knew there was some thing about Nina that can’t be trusted but I would never have thought that she would be capable of cheating on Brian.
Brian! If Nina is out there with Micheal then Brian would still be locked up with the priest.
Immediately I went in search of the room and when I did find it, It was not only locked but there was fire.
Immediately I ran outside and called for his guards,They followed me and with their help the door was opened.
The fire wasn’t that much and I could see Brian on the floor along with the priest too
I ran towards him,Turning him over “Brian! Brian! “I called
He opened his eyes and stared at me and then he closed it again but not before whispering Nina
The guards c@m£ towards me and carried him out while the others tried to st©p the fire from escalating .
They took them to the church infirmary and luckily a doctor was around and so he checked up on them.
“What happened?”Nina c@m£ towards me looking worried,Worried about what exactly? Does she really love Brian,I thought starring at her
“Answer me! Is Brian okay!”She asked
“Right now the doctor is checking up on him”I answered
“But how did the fire start?”
“Are you asking me that? I thought you ran off to check up on him”I asked
“I did but when I didn’t find the room,I st©pped searching and he told us that Brian was only locked up,He never mentioned that There was going to be fire”She said
“You have been with him for a while now,You should have known how his br@in work,You should have tried to search for Brian no matter what but instead you…….”I couldn’t finish because the doctor c@m£ out
“How are they ?”I asked
“They are both doing fine”
“But what started the fire and why were the both of them unconscious? From what I know the fire wasn’t much and so the smoke wouldn’t have made them unconscious”I asked
“You are right,seems like some one had put in slee-ping pills in their drink and when he saw that they were both asleep,He started the fire”The doctor said and left when he got a call.
“Seems like the person who wants his Highness dead is very close to him”Andrew said as he walked towards us
“Do you have any idea who would want to harm him”I asked pretending not to know who it was.
“Well I don’t really have proof yet but I have some one in mind and when that person is caught,I promise to make he or she pay”Andrew said and then he went into the room.
“I believe that he was referring to you”Nina said
“I know that am innocent and Micheal have as-sured me that no matter how they try,They wont find a thing on me”I replied
“Let’s hope so,Cause I don’t want any thing to ruin our plan”Nina said
The door opened and Andrew c@m£ out
“His Highness would like to see you ” He said starring at me.
I went in and saw him sitting on the be-d,He didn’t look like some one who has just walk out of death door, He looked just the same, Healthy and fit.
“How are you feeling?”I asked as I walked further into the room
“Are you really concerned ?”He asked
“Of course, You were almost killed in the fire and…….”
“St©p with your lies…. enough okay!!! “He yelled angrily
“What do you mean by lies?”I asked And suddenly he pu-ll-ed me by my arm and pushed me on the be-d with him crouching over me.
“Tell me the truth! Why do you want me dead?”He asked
I stared at him in shock,Did he know? I thought Micheal said he has covered up every thing.
“You are hurting me Brian”I said trying to get up but he pushed me back
“I won’t leave you until you tell me the truth”He said
“Fine! You want to know the truth right! Well I will tell you”I yelled at him and just then the door bur-st open and Andrew walked in along with two guards who were both holding unto a fellow guard
“What’s wrong?”He asked
“We are sorry we barged in like this but Your Highness,We found the person who started the fire “Andrew said
“That’s true,I started the fire and I did because THE BOSS instructed me”He said
“He has also confessed to having cause other incident which endangered your life,Am really sorry your Highness,I didn’t know that the person who kept on causing you harm is some one within us”Andrew explained
He stared down at me and re-leased me and then he stared at the guard who they had brou-ght in
“So you were s£nt by THE BOSS right! Tell me who he is” Brian asked
“Do you think i will tell you? No matter what you do to me,I won’t talk,I won’t ever Betray THE BOSS” The guard replied and was rewarded with a punch
“Don’t worry your Highness,We will make him talk”one of the two guards holding unto him said as they dragged him away.
“Am sorry your Highness,We made a wrong conclusion about Lady Dora,She is innocent,I apologise”Andrew said bowing at me before leaving the room too.
No, Am not innocent,Am guilty too,Guilty because am deceiving every one,I was s£nt here to kill you but instead of killing you have been saving you and yet, you blame me,I thought feeling so sad.
“Dora I……”
“You don’t have to say a thing,I don’t want to listen,Without getting to know me,You thought the worst of me,It doesn’t matter any way, The wedding won’t be happening and while you marry the woman of your dreams,I would be out of this country, You have Made a deal with me,So no matter what plea-se fufil it”I said and left the room.
I got out and immediately Nina ran towards me
“What happened? Is he okay?”She asked
“Don’t ask me,Just go in if you want to”I said and walked off.
I won’t intrude in his life again,If Micheal try another stunt,I won’t try to save him and if Nina is deceiving him with her love,I won’t interfere too. I thought as I walked out of the church and went into the car.
“Lady Dora your car is over there!” the chauffeur in it said
“It will be taking back his Highness,Just take me back home”I said and he did as I instructed him.
As soon as I got to my room, The phone began to ring and I answered only to listen to Micheal
“Did you like what I prepared for him”He asked
“You told me you won’t do any thing until am married to him”
“But I didnt do any thing”He lied
“St©p with your damn lies,You set the room on fire after sed@t!ngthem with slee-ping pills”I said
“And is that me doing some thing? I didn’t do anything, I only sacred you all a bit”
“You should just st©p it Micheal,St©p trying to harm him,Not until am married to him”
“Have heard you,I won’t do any thing until you are married to him,For now I will st©p and in exchange you will make sure he gives you all his property”He said
“Have told you ,I will get it for you, Just st©p for now,They alre-ady suspect me”
“But I got one of my men to cover up for every thing”
“Yes you did and for now they won’t suspect me for a thing but if you should do some thing again,They will suspect me once more,So just st©p ”
“Fine then I will st©p and I will make sure they st©p suspecting you”
“What do you plan on doing about that?”I asked
“If I tell you,It will ruin every thing,So just sit back and wait”He said and caught the call.
What is Micheal up to now? I just hope it won’t be some thing bad.

Episode 22
EMMA POV
“Do you really have to come?”I asked Dora mom who was seated beside me on the chair
“Yes I have to,My daughter will be buying her wedding go-wn today and you are saying there is no nee-d for me to come”She said looking angry
“Its not that I don’t want you to go, You are a busy person and you coming with me is not necessary”I said
“It is necessary,Your wedding is once in a life time And I won’t miss a p@rt in it”
“Fine then”I said as I gave up persuading her
The buying of the wedding go-wn is today and as much as I would have like to go on my own I wasn’t given the chance.
Dora mother wants to p@rticipate in the wedding plan and buying the wedding dress is a big deal for her.
Well in a few days time,I won’t be seeing any one of them because I would be out of the country with Brian help of course.
The do¢v-ments have been signed,I managed to get Dora father to sign it before the wedding, It wasn’t an easy task though but knowing that it’s the only way I can get out of this mess,I made sure I convinced him.
Now the merger p@rt is over,It’s the wedding p@rt.
All I have to do right now is to wait,I have to wait for Brian Go ahead.
Is just a matter of days, Five days to be precise and then I would leave this place for good,I will leave with my dad and I won’t ever come back .
“Have been thinking a lot about it but I nee-d to ask Dora, What’s going on between you and this maid?”Dora mother asked starring at Nina who was seated in front of the car beside the driver
“Nothing mom,why ask?”
“You always go out with her,It’s not like there she is the only maid in the palace,Why her?”
“It’s because I feel more comfortable with her,I like her more than the other maid”I said quic-kly
“If you say so but I don’t like her and as soon as you are married His Highness I don’t want her close to you okay”She said and i nodded gently
That is if I get married to his highness, If only she knew that the maid will be the one marrying Brian. it will be a surprise to every one, Most especially Micheal, I would have like to see his face but that won’t be possible because I would have leave the city.
The car st©pped in front of a very expensive Bridal boutique
The three of us went in accompanied by our guards.
“Hello,Am Emma,I will be the one to guide you on which go-wn to pick”The attendant said and I smiled
She bear the same as I ,What I will give To go back to being called by my real name
“Okay Emma,I want you to bring out the most beautiful and expensive wedding go-wn”Dora mother told her
“Okay Mrs Baxter” She said and left us to quic-kly pick out the best go-wn in the shop
“You should smile a little,You are buying your wedding go-wn,All bride to be are always happy” Dora mom said
“I am happy, Very much “I replied and stared at Nina.
The joy of leaving and starting afresh is the only thing that makes me happy and I hope that nothing will ruin it.
BRIAN POV
“what’s the next schedule for today”I asked my secretary as we both got into the car
“Nothing for now but Mrs Baxter called and she said you have to come to the bridal boutique”He replied
“For what exactly?”I asked
“Today is the day lady Dora buy her go-wn and it’s expected of you to be there your Highness”
“Do I really have to go”
“Yes your highness”He replied.
The car st©pped in front of the boutique and I got out of the car.
I don’t want to be here,I thought as I walked in and it’s all because of Dora
For a while now have been avoiding her,After the way I behaved with her at the hospital,Have not spoken to her.
I doubted her and blamed her for every attack I faced while she was willing to help me with Nina.
‘ Isn’t this the best time to apologise to her’ My conscience said to me
“I think it’s the best time”I said to myself.
“Your Highness! You are finally here”Mrs Baxter said as she bowed in greeting
“I had to come,it’s my duty to be here”I replied
“Of course you have to,Dora is trying out the go-wn,You should be here to see it”She said pu-lling me to sit on the chair.
“What about the maid?”I asked wanting to know about Nina where about
“She is in the dressing room with Dora,She is helping her get dressed”She replied and I nodded.
Dora walked out of the closed curtain in a beautiful white go-wn
She looked so very beautiful and innocent,Who would have thought that a wedding dress would make the great Dora Baxter look like an innocent
I couldn’t st©p myself from starring at her,She looked so beautiful and this is a first for me,The first time I think of Dora Baxter as some one beautiful.
She was smiling when she walked out of the room but when she saw me her smile died
“What are you doing here”She asked
“What do you mean by that? He c@m£ to see you in your go-wn”Miss Baxter replied saving me from saying some thing cause I don’t trust myself to speak.
“But you didn’t tell us that you were coming”She said again
“I called him and you should be happy that he is here,Now spin around for him,Let him see how you look”She said
“That’s not really necessary”She said looking a bit nervous
“Common! He would really want to see it”
“He doesn’t want to see me spin,So just st©p it mom”she replied
“But I do”I find myself saying and she gave me an angry look
“See,He wants to see you spin, Now spin”Mrs Baxter said
Reluctantly she did the spin and I found myself starring at her physical attributes outlined by the go-wn
She looked so beautiful and she wasn’t lacking in any p@rt at all, I smiled as I kept on starring at her.
“Satisfied!”She asked starring at me
“Yes”I replied giving her a smile which she didn’t return.
“I don’t like this go-wn mom,Am changing it” She said
“But I like it”I said and the two of them stared at me
“I like it”I repeated
“See Even his Highness likes it,just go with this one alre-ady” Mrs Baxter said
“But I…….fine then I will just wear this” She said and went back into the room, I couldn’t st©p myself from starring at her derriere.
Why the hell am I feeling this way,Why am I seeing Dora Baxter in another way ,Have always thought of her as someone who is heartless,Someone who will never be able to love and get Love in return,Someone whose heart is as ha-rd as stone but now it’s different.
Maybe seeing her in the wedding go-wn today made me think of her as someone who is innocent and beautiful but I can’t let myself be confuse,She is Dora Baxter,The cold hearted spoilt br@t.
“Your Highness,If you don’t mind can you come with me for a while “Mrs Baxter asked
I stood up and followed her,We went to a room and while she knocked,I wondered why we were there.
A Lady walked out along with Nina and as soon as they did,she took my hand and pushed me into the room.
I saw Dora standing in front of the mirror still in her go-wn.
“Why are you here?”She asked again
“Could this be the………”I st©pped when I realised what the room was meant for.
I tried to open the door but it was locked.
“Sorry your Highness,But I notice that some thing is wrong with you two and I figured that you might want to talk about it,So try doing it there and while talking you can help her with the go-wn” Mrs Baxter said
“Mom! Mom! This is not funny,Open the door”Dora said as she tried to open it
“You two nee-d to talk to each other,I will be giving you an hour to do so,Am sorry Your Highness”She said and walked off
“Why is she doing this to me”Dora whispered gently as she walked back into the room
“She is right! We have to talk”I said
“I don’t want to talk to you”She said
“But I do,we have avoided each other enough! Its time to talk”
“Fine,say what you have to say”She said
” I doubted you and treated you bad for every attack I faced,For that am sorry”
“I should have apologised sooner but you were really angry and I didn’t want to make you more angrier,So I kept my distance but your mom noticed, Am sorry Dora” I apologised
“Apology accepted”She said and I gave her a smile and this time she returned it.
“Better call my mom and tell her that we are okay now,I nee-d to get this go-wn off”She said
“Can’t you call her?”I asked
“My phone is with them and not with me,Hurry and call her” She replied
“Then we are bound to be here for an hour cause I didn’t bring my phone either”I Said.
EMMA POV
“Do you feel comfortable that way?”He asked
“To be sincere,I don’t but what can I do,I have to stay this way until an hour is up”I said as I stood in front of the mirror.
I wasn’t expecting to see him today but when I opened the curtain and saw him sitting on the chair,I was surprised and when I saw the way he was starring at me in the go-wn, It got me feeling Nervous and at the chance I got I fled to the changing room
Only for Dora mom to lock him here with me, Putting me In a more awkward situation.
“Do Nina like the go-wn”He asked
“She picked it herself”I replied
“Ap@rt from being beautiful and smart,She has a good taste right?”He asked
“I think so”I replied .
I still can’t forget seeing Nina k!ss!ngMicheal, She k!sses Micheal and act all lovey Dovey with Brian
There are times that I would want to ask her but its none of my business, Have promised myself not to meddle in Brian life and that’s what I will do
“Hope our deal is still on”He asked
“It is! I help in getting you married to Nina and in exchange you help me leave”I said and he nodded
“Am glad that you haven’t changed your mind”
“I won’t change my mind for any thing in this world”
“Good then”He said.
Suddenly I felt an itch behind my back, I tried reaching it to scratch it but it won’t work.
I stared at Brian and he hasn’t noticed me trying to scratch my back yet.
Why did that woman have to lock us up,I thought moving restlessly
“Is something wrong?”He asked
“Nothing is ………oouch!”I said when the itch bec@m£ worse.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you hurting some where?”He asked
“My back,It’s itching a lot”I said embarras-sed
“My f!ngerscan’t reach it can you help me”I said
“I would have to loos£n the Zi-p”He said
“I know and believe me you are the last person i would ask to do this kind of thing but am desperate”I said
“Fine then,Turn around”
I did as he instructed me, He pu-ll-ed down the Zi-p and while I held onto the front go-wn ,I felt his f!ngerson my skin.
It felt cool on my skin and I found myself standing rigid,Willing myself not to feel a thing.
His t©uçh s£nt shivers into my b©dy and it made my heart beat fast.
“Is this okay?”He asked
“Uh?”
“I asked if it’s no longer itching”He asked
“Yes,It’s no longer itching,Thanks” I replied as I turned to move out of his grasp
“This is odd”He said suddenly
“What’s odd?” I asked
“You had a scar right on this sp©t behind your back,It was a hvge scar Dora,How come it’s no longer there?”He asked.
My God! Dora had a scar and I certainly don’t have a scar,How am I going to get out of this one.
