Episode 28

“Sylvia…. Sylvia” Alexa called but she didn’t reply.
Sylvia was angry, mad and confused at the same time. She felt like killing herself because it’ll be hard for to secure a job in Atlancia.
Alexa raked her hair with her middle finger and began to pace tho and fro the compound.
She felt unhappy seing Sylvia that way.
Nevertheless, she was still at fault. If she hasn’t pleaded with Sylvia to let her come to the palace, none of the things happening would have happened.
Alexa exhaled deeply and turned to Erica.
Erica looked left and right before replying her; “You said you’re gonna teach me how to control Magic with the help of the Book of Magic, when are we commencing it?” Erica asked whisperingly.
“Tommorow please, i need to settle with Sylvia before i do any other thing” Alexa stated as Erica mouted an ‘oh’.
“I’ll take my leave now, bye” Alexa stated and scurried into the palace building.

“Hey heartbeat” Bryan called as soon as Alexa waked into the room but Alexa ignored him and sat on the bed, holding herself from tearing up.
Byran noticed her mood and and asked; “Are you okay? Your face is looking so moody” Bryan chipped in, leaning closer to her.
“I’m fine” Alexa said, trying to use her normal voice but it wasn’t working.
“Oh c’mmon, even a blind man can tell you’re not okay, something is bothering you. Talk to me, please” Bryan professed, holding her hands.
“Bryan, i need your help right now?” Alexa said.
“Anything for you…” Bryan stated.
“Do you know how much Sylvia recieves from her work? I mean, how much is her salary for a month?” Alexa asked with keen interest.
“Um… I think it’s $300 dollars” Bryan replied.
“That is 300, for five months it would be $1, 500” Alexa thought in her head and released a smile.
“Do you know that you look more cuter when smiling?” Bryan complimented and Alexa blushed.
“Please can you borrow me, $1, 500 dollars?” Alexa asked and Bryan’s face puzzled.
“What for?” Bryan asked.
“The truth is that your mom fired her when she found out that she was the one that accomadated me and Sylvia became mad at me. According to her, i was the one who told the Queen about her that was why the queen took her into her room to question her.” Alexa explained.
“So you want to give her some money to take care of herself? I want to give her $1, 500 and after five months, i’ll return and pay her another five months money.” Alexa pointed out.
“That’s not a problem, i’ll give it to you” Bryan said and Alexa hugged him tightly.
“Thank you so much Bryan, i love you” Alexa peeved.
“I Love you too” Bryan replied and Kssed her cheeks.
“Do you want the money now?” Bryan asked.
“Um, no. I need it later in the evening” Alexa replied.
“The both of us will visit her later in the evening with the money, hope you’ll be chanced?” Alexa inquired.
“Sure” Bryan replied.
“Bryan, why’s your wadrobe empty? Your things, what’s happening? Are you relocating?” Alexa asked in a confused look.
“Not at all, Heartbeat… It’s a suprise” Byran uttered and smiled, revealing his cute dimples.
Alexa got lost staring at Him. His dark hair, dimples, pink lips.
“Gosh! He’s so cute” Alexa mumbled but Bryan heard her.
“Wow, you finally agree that i’m cute” Bryan jubilated, jotting Alexa off her thoughts.
“I Wasn’t talking to you” Alexa teased and bit her lips.
“Then, Who were you talking to?” Bryan asked and chuckled.
“Um… Um… Um…” Alexa stammered looking around for a suitable thing to use but none was there.
“Okay, fine. Fine. You’re cute” Alexa agreed as Bryan jumped and pulled Alexa into a hug.
“Yeh!!!!! Yehh!!!!” Bryan screamed like someone who just won a trophy, pressing Alexa tightly against his body.
“Gosh,,, Bryan… You’re gonna gonna suffocate me” Alexa yelled and Bryan quickly let her go.
“This calls for a celebration, heartbeat” Bryan yelled and went towards the TV.
Soon, ‘Yummy’ by Justin Bieber started playing.
Bryan ran to the fridge and brought out a bottle of whisskey.
Alexa chuckled as she watched him dance and twist his body to the rymth of the music.

5 hours later…

Sylvia and Ben could be seen discussing in the sitting room.
“You have to calm down, You can’t kill yourself because you lost your job” Ben consoled.
“Don’t tell me to calm down. Don’t tell me to calm down, Ben. You of all people should know that the payment i get from Queen Allysia is what i use to take care of the both of us” Syvia stated.
“But i’m still here. We can still feed ourself with the little pay i get from my job” Ben said while Sylvia rolled her eyes.
“Do you really think Alexa is the one who told the Queen about you accomodating her?” Ben asked.
“I Don’t think so” Sylvia replied. “I Mean, if she was the one who told Queen Allysia about me, Then Queen Allysia wouldn’t have questioned me in the first place. I think she just got suspicious on her and dicided to confront me” Sylvia professed.
“Alexa is a kind person. I know she can’t do that even in her point of death. Now i know why that gaurd told me i should thank her” Sylvia said.
“Yes. Alexa saved Erica – the King’s kidnapped daughter and she asked for a wish.
I Think she asked them to release you” Ben uttered.
“If i had known, i wouldn’t have insulted her that way back then in the palace, i regreted my actions and…” she couldn’t complete her statement when the knock from the door interupted her.
Sylvia walked to the door and opened it.
Her jaws dropped when she saw Alexa and Prince Bryan on her doorpost.
“Welcome my Prince. It’s my honour to have you in my house. Feel free” Sylvia ushered, smiling.
“Oh i’m sorry but i’m in a hurry. Alexa just came to discuss briefly with you” Prince Bryan stated while Sylvia’s gaze went to Alexa.
“Alexa, before you say anything, i wanna apologize on the way i spoke to you in the palace few hours ago. I was just angry, and pissed off because i lost my job” Sylvia apologized.
“I Understand how you feel that’s why i came. I wasn’t the one who told the Queen about me coming from earth” Alexa stated.
“I Know and i’m sorry for accusing you falsely” Sylvia stated.
“It’s fine. Have this” Alexa said and hand over the bundle of money to Sylvia.
“Oh my God!” Sylvia exclaimed and grabbed the money.
“That’s your compensation money” Alexa stated.
“Thank you, Alexa. Thank you so much” she said and tried kneeling down but Alexa held her firmly.
“If not for you who accomodated me, i would have been dead my now.
Your good has made you well” Alexa scrutinized while Sylvia smiled.
“I’ll be leaving to Earth in the next two days, i want you to take good care of yourself” she said and hugged Sylvia.

“Stop asking me that, you’re making me feel sad because i’m not gonna be with you and Erica for a long time. Anyways way, it’s 6am tommorow. I don’t want your mom to see me leave” Alexa stated and Bryan burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing? It is funny?” Alexa asked and chuckled.
“I Don’t see any reason why you’ll be missing someone that is gonna be living with you” Bryan said and Alexa turned swiftly at him.
“Meaning?” Alexa asked, arching her brows and Erica walked into the room.
“To be frank with you, i and my bro will be joining you in leaving to Earth” Erica said from behind and Alexa gasped.
