EMMA POV
“where is Nina!!!”He yelled again
“I…..I really don’t know”I replied
“The video caught Nina leaving the house but when it got to bond Street the car disappeared along with Nina,It was later on that the camera caught you getting into the car, For an hour and half you both were missing, Tell me where you went to ? ” He asked
I stared at him in shock, I just couldn’t tell him that Micheal had abducted the two of us and had kept Nina as hostage while he made me return to the church.
I had to think of some thing to say before he finds a way to make me tell him the truth.
“I was on my way to the airport when I got her call, She asked me to meet her at a little hotel on the opposite street that led to bond Street”I began the lie
“She told me that she couldn’t get married to you and had no other choice and she begged me to take her place while I took hers”
“I didn’t want to do it at first but she told me that if I didn’t go, That she wouldn’t either, She would leave you standing on the altar and I didn’t want that for you,So I came instead”I finished
“Who are you to know what’s right for me! You should have left me there waiting for her,You shouldn’t have married me pretending to be her”He yelled at me
“Am sorry if I lied but I couldn’t have left you there on your own”I said
“It was none of your business, You had a choice Dora but you chose to come back and your coming back has only ruined my life” He yelled at me
“I will look for Nina and when I do find her,Our marriage will be annulled”He said before leaving the room.
I sat on the bed feeling so broken and sad, if he only knew the real reason why Nina never made it to the church.
“I will look for Nina and when I do find her our marriage will be annulled”
Remembering his threat made me spring into action
I picked up the phone and dialled Micheal number.
It rang for at least three times before he picked
“It better be for a good reason that you are calling me at this time”He said angrily
“Brian wants to find Nina!” I said
“Why?”
“I don’t know how he knew but he was here a while ago demanding from me where Nina could be?”
“And what did you tell him?”
“That she left instead of me but I doubt if he buy the lies, You caused all this Micheal find a solution as soon as possible”I said
“Shut up,Am trying to thinking!”He said
“Then you better think cause I don’t know any more lies to Feed to him”I said and cut the call
I sat on the bed hoping that Micheal finds a solution before it’s too late for us.
THE NEXT DAY
Fully dressed in a beautiful exotic gown, I strolled around the party, Checking all is going well and being the perfect host and wife for prince Brian
The party was in honour of the king and queen who were celebrating their anniversary
I stood by the corner watching the two couples smiling at each other ,You could Tell by just looking at them that they loved each other.
Some how I wish that Brian would love me the same way I love him,I thought starring at him
He was occupied with the minister talking to them.
“You don’t have to stay here and ogle him, Go to him and give him a kiss”Natasha said behind me
“Natasha, I thought you said you couldn’t make it”I asked
“I thought I couldn’t but here I am”She said giving me a smile
“I will go and say hello to my parents”She said walking off.
I stared out side,Expecting to see Micheal but he was no where to be found.
I was still thinking about it when my phone began to ring again
I picked only to see that it was Micheal calling
“Go to the balcony, I want you to see some thing”He said
“Are you out of your mind, There is a party going on, I just can’t leave”I muttered irritatingly
“You asked me to do some thing about Nina and that’s why have asked you to go to the balcony”He said
On hearing that it’s a way to fixing the problem with Nina, I went to the balcony.
“Am there now! What should I see ?”I asked
“Just stay there,Some thing will happen soon”He replied and before I could ask him what he switch off the phone.
I stood there waiting for some thing to happen and since nothing did,I turned to leave only to stop when I saw Brian running into the garden.
Why is he there and what was he looking for? I thought starring at him
Just then Nina walked into the garden and I stared in shock
But how come? Why is Nina here? I was still thinking when I saw Brian running to her to pull her into his arms
He held her fiercely and if it wasn’t that the garden wasn’t facing the hall, Am sure that he wouldnt be hugging her.
He released her and kssed her and silently I watched the whole thing
They looked good together and am sure that Brian will be thrilled to have her with him.
My phone began to ring again and it was Micheal
“See! I managed to handle it well”He said expecting some gratitude from me
If only he knew that he just made things worse.
By bringing Nina Back,I have no doubt now that Brian would never look my way.
“Yes you did !”I replied and cut the call and then I headed back to the party
BRIAN POV
I layed on the bed with Nina in my arms,I still can’t believe that she is here with me,When I got her call a few hours ago, I thought it was all a lie,it wasn’t until I saw her in the garden that I knew it wasn’t a lie.
“Don’t you ever leave again!”I said
“I won’t,Am here to stay for good”She replied kssing my lips.
The door opened and who I dreaded not to interrupt us walked in
“Sorry that am intruding……..”She began
“You really have the knack on getting on some one nerves,You saw me coming in here with Nina right! So why did you come up here, Can’t you wait for a while,I had barely had enough time with her”I yelled at Dora
“Don’t be like that to her,She must have some thing important to say when she walked in”Nina said
“Some thing important like what? She did it on purpose,Just like she did when she married me, Well listen good Dora,Now that Nina have returned be expecting the divorce”i said and saw her flinch a little
“Am not here to cause any trouble,I just came to tell you that a Mr Hopkins is here to see you and he says that it’s urgent”She said and left the room.
On hearing that I excused myself from Nina and went to the study
“Am sorry but I didn’t notify you,Have found Nina so you don’t have to worry about your investigation”I said
“I didn’t exactly come for Nina”He said
“What then?”I asked
“I have some thing I want to show you and it’s about your wife, Your Highness”He said looking so serious
What did he know about Dora, I thought starring at him
