Episode 10

By : Kebby NG

EMMA POV
“You coming outside to talk to me is some thing you shouldn’t even dream of doing, No one must know that we know each other but since you are here, Tell me what you want to tell me and you must hurry”Micheal said starring at his watch

“I wouldn’t have come after you if only you had given me your word about my father”

“You failed okay, He didn’t drink it”

“I did as you told me, What more could I have done?”

He moved towards me and held my chin “You should have tried to persuade him, In the future you will be doing a lot of persuasion when it comes to Brian stone,This is a test meant for you but you failed it woefully” He let go of my chin and was about to walk off but I held his hand

“What about my father? “I asked

He jerked off suddenly and I almost fell “Your father fate is in your hands Emma,If you fail He dies and if you don’t he lives, Think about that “He replied and began to walk off

Some one called his name and he stopped. Michael had walked out of the flowers that had been covering us from any one seeing us and on hearing some one call him, I hid behind some of them,Not wanting the intruder to see me.

One of Michael warning was that no one must know that we know each other and now out of his stupidity, Some one has seen us,I thought as I looked for a way to get out of the garden unseen

“Your Highness”I heard him call, Brian was the one who almost caught us,I thought as began to move into the thick flower for more coverage.

“I knew it was you, Who were you talking to? You know no one from the Baxter mansion”Brian asked him

“I just came to say hello”

“To who exactly?”Brian asked

“To some one I know”He replied evading Brian question

” Who Michael, That person must have a name”Brian asked with that authoritative voice of his

“Why do I feel like you are spying on me Your Highness, The last time we spoke, You made it clear that I better not mess with you or in intrude in your life and so now am asking you, Why bother messing with mine? “Micheal asked with so much venom in his voice

If only Brian knew how much Micheal hated and wanted him dead, He wouldn’t even be talking to him, I thought as I did my best not to make any one notice that I was hiding here

“Fine, Don’t think your now important because I mess with your life, My sister should have never married a loser like you and don’t worry, I will make sure Natasha see you for the real loser you are ” I heard him say to Micheal before walking off

“That would be too late for you cause I promise you, You will be six feet under before you get to do anything” Micheal said and on hearing his evil and malicious words, I ran off quickly making sure that no one saw me………

A WEEK LATER
“You look lovely Dora, Now get over here, It’s time for the photo session “Dora mother said as she did the collar of my top properly

“Do we really have to do this”I asked starring at the photographers who were miling in and out of the house

“Yes you have to and put a smile on your face, The photographers might think that your being forced into this marriage” she said to me and I had to fake a false smile

Marrying the prince is a really big deal, For the past one week have been busy with the wedding preparation.

Some of it had been quite stressing and some I had smiled a little but today had to be worst of them all

Brian would be here to take pictures for the wedding with me

Its been a week since I last saw him and just the thought of seeing him again made me feel scared and angry.

“Get this into your head Dora ,As long as you will be my wife, There will never be any peace between us because I hate you!”

Remembering the last words he said to me made me feel shivery

“His Highness is here!”one of the photographing member said to us all

I sighed sadly, Wanting to leave than to take pictures with the man that hate and loathe me

I never told Micheal that The prince already hates me,If I did He was sure to get angry and when never he is angry, My poor dad has to pay for it

“What the hell are you still doing here”Hearing Dora mother angry voice, I went out of the room .

He was the first person I saw amongst every other person there.

As always he was dressed perfectly and he exuded a certain kind of charisma and charm in the clothes he was putting on

He smiled and cheered the photographing crew but when he saw me from a distance, His smile disappeared and changed to an angry look

Its been a week already, We havent seen each other for a week and still he hates the sight of me , I thought as I stopped starring at him and tried to get my attention on the lady that was applying the make up for me

If it hadn’t been for the photo session, We wouldn’t be seeing each other until the engagement party which will be taking place tomorrow

I can’t wait for this photo rubbish to end so I can get out his malicious looks

“Go and say hello to his Highness”Dora mother said giving me a gentle push

“No, I ……I can’t”I replied

“What do you mean by……oh there he comes”She said and I stared up to find him coming towards us

“Good evening lady Baxter”He greeted Dora mom cooly and she responded

“Evening Dora”He greeted me now and when I look up to stare at him, I wasnt surprised to see the look of hate there, I think am already getting used to it……..

“Your Highness, It’s time we start taking the pictures” Some one from the photographing crew said to us, Saving me from answering his Highness malicious greeting.

Together we went into the room where the photo session will take place and with the photographer telling us how to pose, I began to give out some few good posses

Having to work different kind of job landed me into modelling for a while and so doing this is a piece of cake but the only thing that troubled me now was the person I was taking the picture with.

The prince wasn’t bad though, He kept on striking different pose without looking worried or disturbed, Whereas I felt so uncomfortable

The photo session was going smoothly until the photographer announced that we will be taking the intimate part of the session now

I stared at the prince and saw that he was starring at me too and judging from the look on his face he wasn’t as pleased as I was

“This picture will be the theme picture for the wedding,So let’s do our best to make it look good” he told us

“Now His Highness and his bride to be should move together and when I say together, Be very close to each other”

This is definitely bad, I thought as I moved towards The prince

“Closer,Closer”He kept on saying and I kept on moving until I felt him beside me

I dare not look at him, I wouldn’t want to see the hateful look there.

“Now smile for the camera”He said taking a lot of shot

As soon as he stopped, I began to walk away only to find myself tripping over something, I would have fall if someone hadn’t held me by the waist

The strong pair of arms drew me into the warmth of his body.

I knew who it was even before I turned to stare at the person.

I looked up and saw him starring at me, He didn’t have the look of hatred there again but there was some thing else there, Some thing I couldn’t figure out

“Perfect shot, Nice shot”The photographer said as he kept on taking pictures of us starring at each other

I tried to pull away but he held me back and I stared up at him, wanting to know why he wouldn’t let me go.

“We wouldn’t want to disappoint the photographer right?”He asked

“I…….”

“Just follow my lead so I can get out of here as soon as possible”He said haughtily and then he kssed my forehead and that scene didn’t go without the photographer taking the shot

He turned me around and held me close, Putting his head on my shoulder

While he did everything, I kept on wondering why he began to comply easily? Why the sudden change?

He didn’t want this wedding as much as I do, So why is he trying to make the pictures look good.

“Focus “He said and I stared up at him.

He bent towards me and for a while I thought he was going to kss me but he gently placed a kss on my throat and as soon as the shot was taken, He thrusts me away from him, Wiping his hands like I was some sort of dirt.

“Have done my best as it is, So now excuse me, I have things to do”He said and walked off.

“Those shot were perfect Dora”Dora mother said as she walked towards me

I kept on starring at him until he walked out of my sight

Why did he bother taking the picture if he knew that he didn’t want the wedding, I kept on thinking

He is unpredictable and some one like him can’t be manipulated or killed easily

I doubt if Michael plan will succeed………….
