CHAPTER 22
At The Palace*****
“He’s awake,”Queen Kimberly alerted the doctor who was having his back turned at her, getting an injection
“Really?”he put the injection side and ran to her
And it’s really true, he has opened his eyes
“Son,”the queen cooed softly
Luciano seems to hear the silent calling of his name and so he turned his head to her
The door opened and the King entered,,,
“How is he now doctor?”he asked, as one of the guards closed the door behind him
“He’s awake, darling.”the queen ran to meet him
“Thank Goodness,”the king’s face gleamed
The queen clung onto his arm and starts pulling him gently to Luciano’s side of the bed
Luciano tried to sit upright on the bed only for the pains to sting him,,
“Help me up mom, dad…..”he requested, pains evident in his eyes
“Sorry Myles,”the queen told him, and with the help of the doctor alongside, they were able to sit him up on the bed
“I am happy nothing happened to you, son,,”the king said spreading his arms out for him
“Father,”he hugged him back
But suddenly pulled out with screams
“I said am not coming back yet!”he roared, his eyes turning red
The doctor flinched back
His parents shared a confusing look…..

“Yes?, What do you want from me this time boy?”Sabrina inquired from him, jerking her hand out of his hold as soon as they are at the corner
“You’ve been running away from me pretty much ever since you resumed school,,,are you afraid of me hurting you again?”he asked her, a smirk on his face
“Even if I don’t avoid you, I can’t remember having any business with you before.”she answered
Hearing her reply, he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
“Why are you always being a bch?”he choosed to ask this instead
“What do you have to say to me?, Am busy and have got no time to waste arguing here with you.”
He so knew she was pissed off already so he decided to finally speak up,,,
“It’s about Anita though, isn’t it obvious she is not someone you can mess with?
You shouldn’t try to ride on her now that you’re…..”he stopped at some point
“…. Beautiful and such. There’s something coming your way Sabrina. I think it will be better if you just stay off her lane now that you can.”he told her
“Am beautiful, really Ronald?”she asked him, raising her brow as she smiled
“Gosh Sabrina, of all I’ve just said, is that the word you were able to hear??”he couldn’t believe her
“Maybe,,”she sent him a pretty wink
“Whatever, if you like heed to my warning or the other way round. Am out of here,”he rolled his eyes and starts to walk away
Seeing him gone, she placed her hands by her hips as she became serious
“Anita? What’s she planning to do with me??”she stared blankly before her.

The Palace****
Luciano paced about his room after his parents and the doctor have gone out, his hair was ruffled and it was evident he has been running his hands through it many times today
He was now feeling okay, no more pains
He remembered how his parents and the doctor stared weirdly at him when he shouted for them to get out of his head and let him be
They must be thinking he’s going nut but no!…only him knows what’s going on with him
He sat down on his bed tiredly
And buried his face in his palms as he sighed
“I’m not okay…yes, I know. And I can’t be okay as long as they keep disturbing me to come over.”he mumbled to himself in restlessness
He quickly shut closed his eyes when he felt his head starts to spin
Who is he going to explain himself to?
“Cut off that thinking Luce, they will just say it to your face that ‘you are insane’ cause there’s no way on earth anyone will believe that…”he shut down his thinking as fast as it came
Maybe he would have gone further though if not for the snapping knock that came on his door
“Come in.”he urged whoever was outside
The door opened and was closed a few seconds after
“Hello Luciano,”he heard Seth’s voice
He lifted his head up,,,
“Uhm good afternoon,”he responded, making his face blank of any expression
One that Seth won’t see through even if he tries
“I know you are mad at me brother…yes, I know. I failed to take us out to the club like I promised that day,,am so sorry.”as Seth sat down on the chair across him, he said
“It’s fine, I was also busy that same day. I might not even follow you that day,,”he let him know
“Really? Thanks for letting it go then,”Seth smiled lightly
He nodded affirmatively at him
“That girl, the one I told you I want to meet. You remember when I told you to tell her I want to see her, right?”Seth asked
“Yes, I do remember.”he replied
“She did came a day or two after, sorry…I lost count. I met her on the way to my room and geez?
She’s just so charming and beautiful, such that she glitters in my eyes.”Seth told him, filling him in on that day’s event.
His eyes turned dark at that moment…
