EMMA POV
“Answer me Brian! Is Micheal out of jail?” I asked hoping that he would deny what I just heard
“Yes he is out “he replied gently
“Oh no,no”I yelled and quic-kly Brian was standing beside me holding me
“Its okay,It’s okay”He kept on saying as he held me close
“If Micheal is out of jail,Then it can’t be okay,Micheal would certainly come back for revenge”I said crying
“Don’t worry Emma,I won’t let him come close to us,If that is the last thing I do”He said
“But your protec-tion alone wont st©p Micheal,You know he is crazy and he won’t st©p at any thing to make us pay,Why didn’t the police pay more attention to him”I said angrily
“Come here,Come have a seat”He said pu-lling me to the be-d
As soon as I sat down he crouched in front of me
“As have said, I will always protect you from now on,As soon as I can,I will make sure I keep your father save”
“How?”I asked as I cleaned my tears
“I have a house in the East region,I will make arrangement for him to be taken there with a doctor and nurse watching over him twenty four seven”
“Thank you Brian but there is still some thing that bothers me,What if he targets your own family”I asked
“I doubt if he will be able to do that,After all he is now a fugitive” He said
“What if he manages to do some thing at the coronation tomorrow'”I asked
“He won’t be able to,I promise you my love” He said and I pu-ll-ed him to me hvgging him ti-ghtly
“I don’t know if I should tell you this but I have to, On the day Micheal was caught and you were Unconscious, Am still not sure but I feel that I really heard him saying it”
“What did he say?”he asked starring at me
“That he will come back for me,That was what I heard him say,He said he will surely come back for me”I said
“That s¢v-m…….don’t worry, As long as am here,Nothing will happen okay,just trust me okay”he said holding both my cheek to stare down at me
“Okay”I said and he k!$$£d me.
“And by the way,why are you here? “he asked
“I c@m£ to see you,I couldn’t go on staying un-der the same roof as you with out seeing your hand some face,So I c@m£ and I don’t care if am breaking the rule”I said and he laughed
“You are the first queen to be who has broken a rule” He said
“And it’s all because I had to see you,Don’t you like it,I can just go back to my room”I said standing up
But quic-kly he pu-ll-ed me back and hvgged me close
“You know I don’t mean it that way, i like it that you are here and thanks for being here”He said as his arms ti-ght£ñed around me
“Then while am here,Enjoy my company cause as soon as I leave, You won’t be seeing me until the coronation ceremony”I said holding him back and I heard him laugh as his arms around me grew ti-ghter
“I love you,Never ever doubt that okay”He said and I nodded and with out waiting for him to initiate it,I k!$$£d him.
THE KING POV
I sat in my room, Thinking about what just happened
Who on earth knows what happen 25 years ago and why is he trying to bring the past to the pres£nt,I thought as I walked around the room feeling restless
I did all I could to bury every thing,I did every thing so I could get to where I am today and I won’t let any one take that away,Not when Brian is about to take over
I killed,Lied, Threatened just to get to where I am today.
Just then there was a light knock on the door
“Your majesty, Mr Baxter is here”My escourt said
“Let him “I replied and soon Baxter walked in looking scared and uncomfortable
“And to what do I owe your visit”I said after he had greeted me
“Your majesty,I received a strange call”He said and I turned to stare at him
“A strange call?
“From a man who knew what happened 25 years ago”He said
“So you were also called too?”I asked as I gently took a seat
“Yes,did he call you too” Baxter asked
“He did and it was to Threaten me about what happened 25 years ago”i said
“But who do you think it is? Could it be that child?”Baxter asked
“St©p saying ru-bbish, We all know that she ended up dying in the fire”I said
“But how can we be sure,The fire men never said any thing about a child burnt b©dy being found “he said
“And so,We both know that when the fire started the child was tra-pped inside her room,So there is no way that she would have survived”I said
“So then who is threatning us,Who else knows about what we did 25 years ago ?”
“That is what we have to find out”I said
“Am getting scared your majesty,If I had known that what we did in the past will come back haunting us this way,I would have refused back then”He said
“Just shut up and think straight Baxter,Nothing will happen if we get to find this mysterious caller and am sure he would ha-rd ly have any proof to what we did in the past”
“You are so sure of your self because you are the king,Am sure that you will manage to find a way to clear your name out of it while I will take the whole blame, I don’t want that your majesty,I still have my wife and child to protect” He said
“Have told you to put your mind at rest,I will surely find a way to get us out of this mess,No one will dare bring up the Secret that have long been buried for 25 years,I won’t let that happen”I said as-suring Baxter father
“If am correct if your brother hadn’t been taken out of the way,That child would have been the one sitting on the throne right?”He asked
“Yes,She would have but she can’t because my son is the one there now and no one not even this strange man who just called us now will be able to take the throne from him,Have worked very ha-rd to get to this place and I won’t let any one take it from him and you should also be careful of what you say,Your daughter will also be crowned the queen along side him”
“With my son as the king and your daughter as the queen,No one will be able to st©p them,No one at all,So all you have to do right now is to keep shut and if he calls again, Be br@ve,Don’t let him s-en-se the fear in you “I said
“Fine then,Since you are as-suring me that all will be well then that’s fine with me,I will take my leave now,Your majesty”He said and bowed at me before leaving the room
I picked my phone and dialled the number of a pri-vate investigator that I knew and trust.
EMMA POV
I layed on the be-d slee-ping beside Brian, I would have had a peaceful sleep if Brian murmuring hadn’t wake me up.
“plea-se! Daddy plea-se save her, plea-se”he said as he held the sheets ti-ghtly and with his eyes close
He was having a night mare and judging from the tears dropping from his face,He was having a bad one
“Brian! Brian”I called out to him gently
“No the fire might kill her dad,She might die, No,plea-se forgive me,Forgive me Emma,Am sorry”he kept on saying
Getting scared,I began to shake him “wake up Brian! Wake up!”I yelled and he opened his eyes
“What happened?”he asked starring at me
“You were having a night mare”I replied
“And it wasn’t a good one Brian”
“It must have been the same Night mare, Its been so long since I dreamt about it,I don’t know why am suddenly dreaming about it today”He said as he used his hand to cover his face
“Would you like to talk about it? Cause I can see that this is really troubling you,I never knew that you frequently have bad night mare*
“That’s because I didn’t want any one knowing,This constant night mare and you are my only weakness and besides it much safer if I don’t talk about it”
“But you called out my name, You said forgive me Emma”
“It isn’t you,It’s just some one bearing the same name,I met her years ago, she was just a kid but I….. I”
“You what Brian?”
“I helped my father in ruining her life”He said using his hand to cover his face
“I can’t tell you any more Emma,If I do you might hate me, I alre-ady hate my self for it,If you should hate me too, Then I don’t think I can cope “He said sadly
I pu-ll-ed him to my arms and hvgged him ti-ghtly
“Its okay,I won’t ask you to tell me and there is nothing you will ever do that will make me hate you”I said k!ss!nghis fore head.

episode 49
#Season_1 Semi finale
MICHAEL POV
“You shouldn’t have come here, You know that the police are looking for me too”Nina said as she sat on the couch of the poor h0tel she was living in
“You are my only hope and when I called you shouldn’t have answered”I said
It had been ha-rd getting away from the cops but I one silly mistake opened up the opportunity for me to get away and I did.
I had no where to go because thanks to Brian,Every thing I had was confiscated and i won’t rest until every thing is back in my possession and with that I nee-d Nina help
“I didn’t know it was you and besides I was shocked to find out that you were out of jail”
“Those fools let down their guard and I took the chance and I don’t regret it one bit “I said
“You did well in escaping but I can’t have you here,As you can see am ba-rely managing,So plea-se leave “Nina said to me
“So now that I don’t have any thing,You are turning your back at me?” I asked
“This is not me turning my back ,This is me trying to survive”she replied
“Well then we will have to survive together,You and I are going to have to stick together cause I don’t plan on ending it all this way”
“Don’t tell me you are still thinking on going after Emma and Brian,The minute they see you,You will be back in jail”Nina said smiling
“I plan on doing just that”I said and the smile on her face disappeared
“Are you joking right now?” She asked
“Does it look like I am?”I asked
She stood up and turned towards me “That will be a crazy thing to do, if you want to be free forever,You will have to ignore them thor0ûghly”She said
“But I don’t want that, can’t you see that we have been made a fool by the both of them,Don’t you think we should have our revenge”I said
“Do we really have to have our revenge” She asked
” Yes we do, Brian pu-ll-ed a fast trick on us but where we would hit him most would hurt a lot”I said
“And how do you plan on doing that?”She asked
“By taking Emma”
“By taking Emma? Are you really serious?”
“Yes,I am”
“How would taking Emma get us to achieve our goal?” She asked
“Emma is very much in love with Brian and Brian too is In love with her, Love is the strongest feeling of all and it’s also the weakest feeling, By taking Emma,Brian would be so devastated that he will do any thing we ask him to do and that is when we will cease our opportunity and after getting money from him,We kill him And then take the money,That will be our revenge to Brian”Micheal said
“So what do you say? Will you join me or would I have to search for willing p@rtners on my own”I added
“Fine then,So when will this revenge begin”
“Tomorrow”
“Tomorrow? But it’s their coronation tomorrow!” Nina said
“I know and that is why it must happen tomorrow”I said
“I still don’t know !Am not sure yet”Nina said and that got me annoyed
“You better be sure now,Cause once I call for the men who will help us then there is no going back”I said
She stared at me looking a bit worried but knowing Nina and her love for money,I am sure that she will surely support me,After All who really love money!
“Fine then, Am in”She said and I gave her a smile
“Good then shall we will begin the plan”
THE NEXT DAY
(THE DAY OF THE CORONATION)
EMMA POV
“You look so very beautiful your Highness”
“Utterly lovely”
“Gorgeous”
The maids who had c@m£ to help me with the dress complimented
I smiled and starred at myself in the mirror,I did look gorgeous,lovely and beautiful,I thought to myself
After end less hours of having to pick up a clothe for the coronation,They finally c@m£ up with This and I won’t deny that I really really love the go-wn.
Just then the door bur-st open and Dora parents walked in
“Look at my dear angel”Dora mother said coming me to hvg me
“All dressed up and looking like the future queen “Dora father said
“Am no angel and am not even the queen yet”I said
“In a few hours time,You will become the queen “Dora father said
I gave them both a smile and together they walked me out side
By now the palace was parked with a lot of people
The reporters,The ministers,The higher rank army officials and other important figure
Never would I have thought that I will be here going throu-gh this moment but here I am,I thought as I was led to the a very high seat.
I sat on the chair and waited for Brian entrance
And when he did walk in,He looked so very handsome
I had my mouth wi-de open when I saw him,He is fit enough to be the king just as am fit enough to be his queen.
Just then a memory fli-ckered into my head, I didn’t quite see or un-der stand what it was but I knew that it was some thing bad ,I thought as I gently tried to shake the memory off.
But it won’t go away, I keep on hearing faint voices.
“My dear child! You look beautiful,Fit enough to be a princess”A voice said
“Of course mommy,Aren’t I your princess”I heard a little voice which I had no doubt that it belonged to me say.
Gently I shaked my head and those images were gone.
I looked up to find that no one had noticed me
They were all just focused on Brian who was reicieving his crown.
I also tried to focus but each time I kept on remembering what i just thought of
The lady who I had referred to as mom had a sweet gentle voice and she didn’t sound like Micheal mother
That’s odd,Have only ever knew Micheal mom as my mom and although we started on the wrong footing,She accepted me and she took care of me.
But who has this strange voice and why am I referring to her as my mom,I kept on thinking and I didn’t notice that Brian had walked up and joined me In the seat
It wasn’t until he took my hand in his that I knew that he was here beside me
I turned to stare at him and I saw that he was starring back at me
He gave me a smile which I returned and at that moment every other thought vanished
Soon I was called and I was crowned as the queen.
If some one had told me that I will ever get to be a queen, I would never have believed but here I am today being crowned as a queen.
As soon as the coronation was over,,every one moved into the hall and the p@rty began.
“You look very beautiful my queen”Brian said as he c@m£ to stand behind me at where I stood at the balcony
“And you look Very hand some my king,”I replied as I snuggled into his arms
“Wish every one was gone alre-ady”He said suddenly
“And why would you wish for that”I asked
“So that I can have you all to myself”He whispered into my ear and I shivered a little
“Don’t you think that we should take it slow,I mean we just found out that we are in love and we are still working on our relationsh!p,I don’t think we should take it further yet”I said a bit nervous
“Oh I see,You want us to it slow”He said smiling
“Well I think we should urrrgh…….”
“Emma are you still a vir-gin?”he asked suddenly and at first I was shocked and I didn’t reply
quic-kly I pushed off his hand and turned to face him
“You don’t ask a lady some thing so personal”I said and began to walk off
“Hey Am sorry if I offend you with my question”he called after me but when I did not reply ,I heard him say
“No matter what,I still love you and I sincerely respect you for being one”
On hearing that I st©pped and turned to stare at him and I gave him a smile before walking off
A while later,I left the group of gossiping ministers wife and began to head to my room
I nee-ded to take some thing, I thought as I kept on pas-sing throu-gh the midst of the guest
As it was a p@rty today, The security team has been asked not to escourt any one of us.
I got to my room and walked in ,It was kind of dark but I knew what I was looking for and i knew where I kept it.
As soon as I reached it, I realise some thing was wrong and before I could figure it out
Some one hands wra-pped around my mouth,St©pping me from screaming.
“Didn’t I tell you that I will be back,Well my love am back for you”Micheal said and I stood still in his arms,Scared for my life and scared for what he is going to do to me.
