Episode 3

EMMA POV
“Where are we going Michael?” I asked as we were ushered into Michael car
“To see your second” He replied
“To see Dora Baxter but if am to be her,I can’t let her see me”
“Am not that stupid as to let her see you,I just want you to see her from a distance,If you at least see her,You will know how to act and behave” He replied
I kept quiet as the car kept moving, what have I gotten myself into? I thought as I stared out of the window
Not only will I be lying but I will be living the life of some one else and I will be asked to kill some one and he is not just any one
He is the prince, Next to the throne, How am I going to get out of this?
The car pulled to a halt and the glass of the car was pulled down
“There she is?” Looking at my side Michael stretched his hand and I stared outside
I gasped out loud when I saw Dora,She looked so much like me,The only difference was that she had her cut in a bob style and she was dressed in a sophisticated way
She looked so gorgeous and very rich.
She was talking to a man and am sure that the man was in his late fifties
She looked angry at the man in person and I was shocked with what she did next
She slapped the old man and yelled some insults at him before walking in
“As you can see yourself,Dora is some one who don’t tolerate any thing,She is very heartless and spoilt and she likes to get her own way” He replied
“And you expect me to act that way? Its a definite no,She was cruel to that man” I yelled at him
“Because he did something to annoy her and yes Emma,You have no choice than to act like her, You will be as heartless as she is ”
“I can’t possibly do this Michael! Can’t you just change your mind”
“As you have said,She is heartless, She would be the right one for your plan,She would have no problem killing The Pr…….” I couldn’t complete my sentence because Michael held my throat
“Not so loud okay! My plan Is not some thing you can just say out like that and you are the one I want to do the job,Dora might be heartless and cruel but she wouldn’t do the job the way I want it,I would rather have you do it than any one else” He retorted angrily
I nodded gently just as long as he can leave my throat because his hold on it was so painful
He let me go and I breathed in heavily holding unto my neck
The car drove off and I clutched my neck starring at him
Michael would force me into doing this and I don’t want that,I don’t want it at all,As soon as he drops me off, I will get my dad transferred to another country and I will leave too
My little savings at the bank can help me achieve this,I only hope that Michael would not know of this new plan of mine, That I will be long gone before he tries to find me………
BRIAN POV
I sat in the restaurant,Waiting for my supposed bride – to-be to arrive
Though the restaurant had been reserved only for my purpose it still felt a bit stuffy
If I hadn’t been forced to come,I wouldn’t have showed up at all
But this marriage is important for the whole state
The merger between the Baxter and Stone company must move forward
And if it is delayed, The state would have to suffer for it
I stared up from my drink and saw my prospective bride walking in
Dora Baxter, The only daughter of minister Baxter
She is beautiful but unbearable,From what have heard from the people working for their family, I know that she would make a terrible queen
And the reason why have called her here is to try to make an arrangement with her
“Hello Brian” She drawled softly as she sat on her seat
“Don’t you think we aren’t that close enough for you to address me as Brian” I asked
“What? Isn’t that your name and am not used to saying your majesty, Your highness,It is not my forte” She answered maliciously
“Fine, Brian it is,Would you like us to order first or we should just get to the point” I asked lightly
“I prefer we get down to business, Have been wondering why you called for me suddenly, Ever since we got engaged you’ve avoided me as a plague and now this? Just tell me why You have called for me” flicking her eyes at me she asked gently
“Your right have avoided you as the plague itself because am not really interested in this marriage just as you are not” I responded lightly
“And who told you that am not interested in this marriage?” She asked
“I know that you are not interested just as I am not interested, So have brought this proposal to you”
“What is the proposal?” she asked mildly
“You still merge your company with ours and I give you part of a land that I own,It is very fertile and useful, it might get you more income in the future”
“So in other words, We still merge the company together and we don’t get married right?”
“Yes, You get half your share of the company and also the land and in exchange we don’t get married,What do you say?” I asked
She gave me a evil smirk before giving her response
“No,Its a no from me Brian…….I want the marriage, Its not that I love you or am dying to be with you but the prospect of being the future queen thrills me a lot, I want to be the Queen and its either you marry me or we forget this merger nonsense”
“To be blunt,I don’t see you as my future Queen, To me your not suited to be one” I retorted feeling angry
She stood up angrily starring down at me “How dare you say that? Am fit to be the queen”
“You are not,You lack all the qualities of being a queen”
She raised her hand wanting to hit my face but my guard was quick to stop. Her
“Let go of me! Let me go ” She yelled at him angrily
“Your behaviour only shows how unfit you are to be the queen”
“Fine then! You don’t want me to be the queen right! Well you can forget about the merger because I will do my best to make sure that My dad doesn’t let you have your way” pushing the guard away she began to head out
I hadn’t planned for this meeting to go this way
If this merger wasn’t really needed then I won’t be going to her to apologise
Walking off to meet her,I drew her back
“Let me go you fool” She yelled angrily
Only Dora Baxter could call me a fool and get out of it without getting hurt
“We still have to talk!”,
” I don’t have anything to say to you, How dare you criticise Dora Baxter,Who do you think you are?”
“The prince and the next heir to the throne”
“To heck with you being the Prince, let me g………”
She couldn’t finish her words because I silenced her with a kss
It was quite swift and I felt nothing at all and immediately I let her go
“Am sorry Dora, Fine,You win, Let’s get married” I said defeated
“That’s nice,I will think about it” She responded lightly before walking away
I already know that her answer would be yes and just thinking about spending the rest of my life with her makes me feel sick
