Living A Liar’s Life

(American Story)

Episode 30

By : Kebby NG

BRIAN POV
“What’s the some thing that you have to tell me about my wife”I asked as I sat on the empty seat while I point at the other seat for him to seat on .

As soon as he sat on the chair,He brought out some folders

“While doing the search for Nina,I found some thing that is unsual about your wife”He said

“And what’s that? “I asked again

“On the night of your engagement party, She had a crash, A crash which it’s not possible for some one to survive”

“Yes I remember seeing the car,It was damaged,I some times wonder how she survived?”I replied

“Don’t you find it odd that she only got injured with a little bruise and while I did my research today,I found out that the doctor prognosis had been changed”

“Changed?”

“What the doctor told you Is different from what really happen to her!”He said pushing a file in front of me

I picked it up and read what was on it, According to the result, There was nothing wrong with her apart from the hit she had received on the mouth.

“I remembered asking her that day why there was a briuse on her mouth but I couldn’t ask any more because her parents interrupted us ” I replied gently

“Are you thinking what am thinking your Highness”He asked starring at me

“What are you thinking?”I asked knowing that my mind was too shocked to receive any more surprise

“The person living with you is not the real Dora or perhaps she could have an explanation to all this”He said starring at me

I stood up and went to stand by the window, It can’t possibly be true right!

She is surely The Dora I know, it can’t possibly be some one else, I thought as I kept on starring out side

“It has not been decided yet your Highness,I might be wrong and she might be the real the Dora, Am still investigating it and as soon as I get some thing concrete, I will bring it to you”He said and bowed before leaving the room .

I stood by the window, Thinking about the possibility of Dora not being the real Dora.

It all started when she woke up after the accident, The first thing she did that surprise me Was to apologise, Some thing Dora would never do.

And then her sudden change and cool reserve, I had thought back then that it was because she was about to die and that made her change but it turned out that she is not even Dora

“No ,No let’s not jump into conclusions, Dora is still Dora and nothing will change that fact, The investigator had said that he was not really sure, So we can’t jump into conclusion yet,We can’t “I said to myself

Just thinking that the person out there is not the real Dora gave me shivers

I went out of the study and was heading to my room when I saw her.

She was with her own maid and she was yelling at one of them.

“You just don’t under stand, How will this darn stain come off now!”She yelled at the maid who Kept on begging her

She hissed and walk off and I stood watching every thing

“The investigator is only exaggerating! Underneath the gentle behaviour,There is still some of her viciousness”I muttered to myself

I won’t believe until the investigator proves me wrong

EMMA POV
“Being the crown princess, Some rules and regulations need to be followed”The instructor who was hired to teach me every thing about being the future queen continued to read from the text book while my mind was miles away.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, Why the hell am I feeling this way? Seeing Brian and Nina earlier got me angry and for the first time in my life, I lashed out at a poor maid who was doing her work

Why did I have to fall for him, Even though Nina doesn’t deserve him, I know that I can’t ruin every thing by telling him the truth about Nina.

For as long as I will stay here, I will just have to see them every day and bear the pain

And though it might be hard, I will just have to tolerate it,I thought as I sighed bringing the instructor attention on me

“Are you okay your Highness? “She asked starring at me

“Yes, I was just thinking about some thing” I replied

“This is really important your Highness, You have to concentrate,I was told to make sure you learn all this, It’s for the up coming coronation”She said

“Coronation? Why wasn’t I informed about this?”I asked

“I shouldn’t have said that! It’s still meant to be a secret, Please don’t say a thing your Highness”The lady begged

“I won’t only if you tell me about this coronation stuff” I asked

“Well the coronation is when the older king leaves the throne for the younger one, The king will be handing over the throne to prince Brian and since you are his wife the queen will also be doing the same thing”

“What am teaching you are the things you have to know before that day comes and so please your Highness pay your utmost attention,I don’t want any thing to go wrong” she added

“Nothing will happen”I said as I took the book, making it known to her that have decided to pay attention.

As soon as I finish attending the class, I went straight to the room to rest for a while.

Not a sign of Nina and Brian , Brian will certainly be at work and Nina would also be busy working as a maid.

“I will only be using the bed for a while”I said to myself knowing that for the time I would be sleeping, No one would interrupt.

Pulling off the heels, I layed on the bed using the sheets to cover my self.

“Just for a while”I muttered before finally falling asleep.

BRIAN POV
“The charity ball will be held in a few days and you have to attend the state minister in auguration which Will be taking place this Friday and also…….”

“Can you stop for a while?”I said and my PA stared at me

“But your Highness, I…….”

“I don’t feel too well, Cancel every other appointment I have,I need to rest for today”I said getting up

“But your Highness, We still have to attend…..”

“Not now,I need to rest,Just make them tomorrow”I said again and left the office.

I haven’t been able to concentrate and it’s all because of what the investigator told me

No matter how I tired to forget, it keeps on coming back to me.

I just need a good sleep, A good sleep will certainly bring me back to my normal self.

The car stopped in front of the palace and I went in

There was no sign of Nina,She would be busy with the other maid and as for Dora, She will still be taking her class, With the coronation coming close, She will be busy learning things about the royal family though I would prefer Nina to be the one doing it rather than her.

I got to the room and took off my suit And shoes, with the rest of the clothing, I got on the bed.

The curtains had been pulled and it was dark inside, I didn’t bother with the lights because it wasn’t necessary.

As soon as I slept on the bed, I felt some one there already and guessing who it might be, I smiled and pulled her close to me.

She had her back to me and I couldn’t see her face but I knew who it was.

She snuggled close and I held her closer, feeling contented, I slept off too.

EMMA POV
I woke up to find a pair of arms wrapped around me.

I tried to pull away but the arms around me held me tightly.

“Where do you think you are going! You haven’t even given me a proper kss yet, I missed you and I was thinking about you all day”Brain said behind me

I couldn’t say a thing, I knew what his reaction would be when he finds out that am not the one expected on the bed

“Always stay like this with me, You don’t know how much I missed you when you left, You shouldn’t have let Dora take your place, I told you that I will protect you but you had to get scared and made every thing worse”He continued

I layed in his arms listening to every thing he was saying

“Now that you are here,I don’t plan to let you go Nina, Not now or ever! Did you hear me”He asked and i nodded in silence

“Why aren’t you talking with your mouth?”He asked releasing his hold on my waist.

I stood up quickly , Wanting to escape but he pulled me back and I fell right on his body.
