PREGNANT FOR A PRINCE : EPISODES 31 – 40
By Faith Lucky
Episode 33
I sat impatiently in the room when I heard a knock on the door and went to check it out.
I was hoping it was mum. Maybe she was back from the palace with some good news.
But when I opened the door, it was Asim.
Huh?
I looked at him, surprised.
“Asim?” I called.
“What are you doing here?”
His eyes looked swollen.
“Naunet, we need to talk,” he said bluntly.
I was still standing by the doorway and folded my hands. I suddenly had a hint of what he wanted to say.
“What is it, Asim…?”
“Who’s the father of that child?” He cut me off, but I couldn’t be any more surprised.
I knew that was what he wanted to say.
“Asim… what are you talking about?” I tried to pretend.
“Please Naunet, don’t make this any more difficult than it already is. Who’s the father of that child?”
I took in a deep breath.
“Well, as you must have heard, it belongs to the prince,” I replied.
“The prince?” He scoffed.
“And… how am I sure it belongs to the prince? We had numerous intimate encounters, Naunet! How…”
“Well, you weren’t the only one who slept with me, okay? And I’m the mother of this child.
So, I sure know the father, and if I say it belongs to the prince, don’t argue with me.”
“Naunet! What has gotten into you?”
“Please Asim; this is the reason I broke up with you yesterday. Because I didn’t want to stay in a relationship with someone else’s child.
This baby belongs to the prince, and that’s final. You better leave before my mother comes back and finds you here.
It won’t be pleasant,” I said and tried closing the door, but he held me back.
“Naunet, please,” he pleaded, holding my wrist.
“I love you. And I promise to give you the life you deserve. If this baby is mine, don’t attribute it to someone else.”
For a moment, I was taken aback by his words and almost went speechless.
I stared at him for a long time without saying anything.
“I’m sorry, Asim,” I simply muttered and wriggled my wrist from his before shutting the door.
Oh, good heavens!
Am I doing the right thing?

Zoey’s Pov:
I also got dressed, wearing something very simple, and then Zosar and I left the palace, using a red car.
He didn’t allow any of his guards to accompany us because, according to him, he just wanted us to have some alone time.
I felt so happy as I sat next to him in the car. I felt so happy going out with him and getting to see other parts of the city.
I mean, since I arrived in this place, the only place I’ve been is in the palace, usually confined to my room.
But thank goodness it was all about to change now.
“Would you like us to sit out? Or go to a restaurant?” Zosar asked as we drove along the road.
“Yeah, we can sit out. Somewhere cool and nice,” I told him, and he increased the speed of the car.
First, he took me around the city, showing me some really amazing places.
He took me to a museum, Luxor, and wow! Egypt was more like paradise. I saw places I had never seen in America.
He opened the roof of the car, and the refreshing breeze blew my hair wildly. We found ourselves talking and laughing.
Finally, he pulled over by the roadside.
“I’ll get the ice cream,” he told me and left the car.
I watched from the window as he hurried to the ice cream kiosk.
Oh, my goodness! You wouldn’t believe the respect he was getting from people.
They looked surprised and afraid seeing him there, and some even kneeled down.
Oh, my goodness!
He reached the ice cream seller and ordered the ones he needed – two cones of strawberry flavor.
The seller was so scared to even take money from him, and he dropped the cash on the table and returned to me in the car.
Wow! He was treated with so much respect.
“Here, hope you like it,” he handed one of the cones to me.
“Yeah, thanks,” I murmured, and he started the car and resumed driving.
I licked my ice cream as we drove for a very long time and finally stopped in a deserted area.
Huh? Where are we?
“Someplace we can have peace,” he said, as if reading my thoughts.
I followed him out of the car and had a look around. Hmm, it looked really cool.
“Come on,” he said and held my hand, then led the way.
Huh? He was holding my hand! Does he realize that?
I followed him to wherever he was taking me, and we finally reached a hill.
Oh, wow!
I stopped walking, feeling a bit insecure.
The area was so quiet and empty, and on top of that, he wanted us to climb the hill.
“Are you scared?” He stopped and asked, and I just shook my head.
“Come on; it’s going to be fine.” He chuckled.
