Baby’s

By: Racheal Dennis.
Episode 7 ?
? Stephano’s POV ?
My men just informed me that Harry invited that girl to our grandma’s birthday party.
The way they talked about the girl, makes me wanna see her for myself. I wanna see the kind of girl that is able infuriate Harry.
I’m right outside her house. After waiting for almost 25mins, I see her walk out from her but like house, a binbag in her hand. I crept up to her and stand right behind her.
She turns and collides into me, just when she’s about to fall, I caught her.
I came here with only one thing in my mind. Kidnap her and use her against Harry.
But holding her in my arms and looking in her eyes, I understand why Harry is infuriated by her. And now, I want her too. I must have her.
I help her back on her feet, then she raised her head and look at me with her big cute brown eyes.
“Hello” I said, corner of my lips curve in a smirk.
She stands up straight.
“Who are you? And what are you doing in my backyard?” She puts her hands on her waist.
Hmm. She’s got a smart mouth too, she’ll won’t be manipulated easily. If I can have her to myself, it’ll be a great advantage to me.
“I’m prince Stephano and I’m Harry’s friend. I believe you know him” I said.
She furrows her eyebrows.
“Oh, I see, so Harry works for you”
What? Harry didn’t tell her about his identity. This is getting interesting.
I’ll see what happen when she finally sees him in the palace and find out that he’s even the crown prince.
She’ll be so sad, and I’ll be the shoulder she’ll cry on. Hehehehehe.
“Yes, Harry works for me. I just wanted to know you in person, Harry speaks highly of you” I said.
“Thanks?”
“I’ll have to go, I’ll see you real soon” I said and walk away without hearing her response. Harry just made getting her easy.
? Elena’s POV ?
I watch as Stephano walk away. I don’t think I’ll like him that much, I can feel a bad Aura all around him. I wonder if all Harry’s friends are this weird.
Anyway I went back inside.
****
Later that evening….
My aunt and I just finished our lunch and currently, I’m in the kitchen doing the dishes. My aunt is in the living room, knitting I guess.
From inside the kitchen, I hear the doorbell rings. But I didn’t bother to check it, since my aunt is in the living room.
Not upto 5minutes, I hear my aunt shouting my name from the living room.
“Elena! Elena! Come over here for a sec” excitement sounding from her voice.
I rush over to her. I see her holding a box in her hands and a small piece of paper.
“What are you holding, Aunt?” I asked.
“I don’t know. It’s for you” she said.
I take the paper from her, it says.
*in my fantasy world
Red suits you best.
xoxo
Harry*
This guy is so sweet, I think I’m falling in love already. An unconscious smile crept up my face.
“Wow! That’s so sweet” my aunt said and wink at me.
My cheeks flame up and I snatch the box from her. I open the box and see a red gown neatly package inside. I take it out, it’s a red empire waist gown.
“Oh. My. God. This is superb” my aunt gush. “Try it on, try it on”
I nod and stripped off my clothes and put on the gown, then my aunt gives me a silver strap shoe. I wore it and my aunt leads me to our full length mirror.
I looked myself over and I swear I could hardly recognize myself. I changed magically.
“You look just like a princess, Elena” she tells me.
I nod in affirmation.
“Princess Elena! How’s that?”
“Aunt, it doesn’t sound right” I told her.
She scoffed and looked away.
“Whatever! But it sounds right in my head” she said.
“I’m sure it doesn’t”
“Fine. Take it off, we don’t wanna dirty it before the big day right”
I took it off and carry it to my room. I can’t wait to walk tall in this gown.
**************
*Time fast forward*
The day of the birthday…..
I’m already dressed in the gown Harry sent for me, I’m just adding the final touch to my face.
I put on a little mascara on my eyelashes and a light pink lipgloss on my lips. I know I’m not beautiful in any way, but I looked ok now.
I feel my aunt touch my shoulder.
“You look so beautiful, I can already picture you in your wedding dress, Elena” I see her from my dressing mirror, her eyes are watering up.
I stand up and turn to her.
“Ok, don’t start with the water works, aunty. I’m not getting married yet” I told her.
She smiles and ksses my cheek.
“My niece is do beautiful”
I look at her dressing, she wore one of her best clothes. She’s coming with me, Cause honestly, I won’t go to the party without her.
“You don’t look bad too” I told her.
Just then we hear a car honking. I peeped through our window and see a Limo parked outside.
“Wow! Aunt we’re going in a Limo” I said.
“Really?” My aunt rushed to the window happily.
Then we hear a knock on our door. My aunt quickly rush to open it, standing in front of us is a chaffuer.
“Hello, ma’am. I’m here for Miss Elena?” He said.
“That’s me, but…. Can my aunt come along?” I asked.
“Yes, ma’am” he said.
My aunt giggle excitedly. We head towards the car and the chaffuer open the door for us. We entered and my mouth falls open.
Inside the Limo is even bigger than my whole house. It feels so homey, it has tv, and a small sitting area.
I wonder how the palace will look like, and I’ll hopefully see the person that invites me.
After driving for what feels like forever, the Limo drives into a very big compound with different mansions in it.
The chaffuer parks in a drive way and open the door for us. We step out, then a maid approach us.
“Good evening, ma’am. Are you Miss Elena?” She asks.
” Yes, I am” I answered.
” Come with me, please. I’ll lead you to the party Hall” she said.
We followed her inside. She leads us through a wide, long hallway.
Everything we pass and see along the way, screams money. Portraits of the royal family line up the walls of the hallway, in some portraits, the whole family stands together and in the others they stands separate.
One of the portraits catch my attention. I see Harry in one of the portraits, he’s dressed in expensive clothing, with these words written under the portrait.
“Harry . M. Marcella
Crown Prince of Peoria”
I shake my head. This is just Harry’s look alike, Harry can’t be royalty.
“Ma’am, anything the problem?” The maid ask me.
That’s when I noticed I stopped walking. I shake my head with a smile and we continue walking.
We arrive at a big ballroom. The ballroom is parked with different people, well rich people, chattering about.
I know instantly, that I don’t belong here. I can’t wait to see the person that invited me and leave, after all, I still have to attend Harry’s grandma’s birthday party today.
The maid showed us to our seats and excused herself. I see my aunt look around excitedly, this is our first time in the palace, so I understand her excitement.
“Elena, I wanna look around. Would you be fine on your own?” She asks.
“Yes, aunt. Enjoy the party, I’ll stay here until I see the person that invited me” I told her.
” I’ll be back shortly” then she walks off.
I watch as people interacts with each other, this is gonna be a long boring party. I might as well look around too.
? Stephano’s POV ?
I’m ready for my grandma’s lame-ass party. I’m so going to get Harry this time, once and for all.
“Sire, we have poisoned the wine just as you instructed” one of my men reports to me.
I smirk.
” Good. Make sure my grandma have that wine and do it without any mistakes” I said.
” Yes, sire”
“Immediately my grandma drinks the wine, one of you should step forward and announce to everyone that the wine is poisoned and you know who did it. If my father ask you who, quickly point Harry” I ordered them.
“Yes, sire”
“With all evidence pointing to him, I want to see how Harry will escape my father’s wrath when my grandmother dies” I said.
I’ve perfectly planned this, there’s no way Harry will escape this.
Even if he tells everyone that it’s a frame work, no one will ever believe him. My father will order for his execution right away.
What a perfect plan!.
“I need Harry to die, then I can take the throne” I said.
Just then I hear someone gasp from outside my door. I turn to my men.
“Find that person and kill him/her” I ordered with a clenched jaw.
My plan must succeed tonight. I won’t spare anyone that stands in the way.
