My
Baby’s
Father ?
By: Racheal Dennis.
Episode 9?
? Stephano’s POV ?
My men chased the person that eveasdrop on our conversation, but they couldn’t catch her.
Also we don’t know who the person is, and now I can’t have my men go on a killing spree.
“Sire, what should we do now?”
“Let it be. Let’s see if the person is bold enough to step forward later to play the hero” I said.
“Yes, sire”
“Now everyone go to your positions, and stay at alert. Wait for my signal”
“Yes, sire” they answered.
I wave my hand and dismissed them.
I smirked. My dear grandma, I’m sorry for making you the pawn in my game. I mean, you can’t get angry at me, after all I’m doing you a huge favor by sending you to reunite with grandpa in heaven. Your soul should feel indepted to me.
After my name’s announced, I walk into the ballroom and sits in my designated seat.
The party began, there’s lots of music and dancing. But all that isn’t my problem, I kept glancing at my grandma, praying that she’ll take a sip from her glass of wine.
But that old hag I call grandma is something else, she haven’t touched her glass yet. I need to get her to drink that wine to make my plan succeed, I must get Harry in father’s web of anger today.
Then an idea strikes me. I picked my glass of wine and stands up.
“Today is a big day for my grandma. I wish her long life and lovegity” I raised my glass. “Cheers!” I said and drinks my wine.
Everyone else also drink their wines, but just when my grandma wanted to drink hers, what I dreaded most happened.
A woman lunged forward and pushed the glass away, I knew instantly she’s the one that eveasdrop on my conversation.
I signal my men to shot her and silent her. I closed my eyes as the gun was shot.
Nobody dares to interrupt my plan and remains alive.
? Prince Harry’s POV ?
Walking back into the ballroom, I got a feeling that something unpleasant is about to happen.
I raised my head and sees Elena’s aunt standing in front of grandma, with broken glass on the floor and a scared expression on her face. I guess I’m not the only one that knows about Stephano’s plan.
“What the fuck!” I exclaimed quietly.
I see the bullet coming straight for Elena’s aunt, in a state of confusion and without giving it much thought. I rushed in front of her and pushed her out of the way, but I wasn’t fast enough.
The bullet fly past my shoulder and grazed my shoulder, I fell to the ground with bl©©d pouring out.
I hold my shoulder and winced a little.
Mark rushes to me, same with some royal guards, they surrounded me looking around for another threat. My parents, grandma and sister, rushed over to me too.
“Your highness, I’m sorry for not protecting you” Mark apologize.
I roll my eyes at him.
“Son, are you ok?” My dad asked, I nod my head.
“Oh, no. My baby boy, how could this happen?” My mom lamented.
“Mom. Don’t cry, I’m fine. It’s just a graze, Mark can take care of it” I told her.
She turns to my dad.
“Roland, you need to find the shooter”
“Yes, I will. First let’s get Harry to his room” my dad said.
My eyes move to my grandma’s, she looked shaken up.
To lessen the tension in her, I send her a wink and blows her a kiss. She laughed.
Just then I see Elena rushing towards me, her eyes full of worry and tears forming up, but the guards are preventing her.
“Let her in” I told them.
They made way and Elena rushed to me.
She takes my head in her hands and rest my head on her lap, her eyes grows wide when she sees the blood pouring from my shoulder and the tears in her eyes starts to run down her cheeks.
“Oh my goodness, Harry! There’s so much blood, are you ok? Why are you so foolish? Why did you jump in like that? Who were you trying to be? Batman? Or Superman? Do you want to get yourself killed?” She cried. I looked at her in amusement.
“Miss Elena, the prince is fine, it’s just a scratch” Mark told her.
She whipped her head towards Mark and glared at him with so much anger.
“Shut up! Can’t you see he’s losing so much blood? Get a doctor!” She commands him.
I bite my tongue to stop myself from laughing. I’m so much loving this side of Elena, I can clearly see that she loves me, she cares for me.
Hmmm. Maybe I can get her to agree to my proposal now that her heart is weak. Hehehehehe.
“Miss, he’s really fine. I can wrap up his wou…”
“I’m not fine, Mark” I cut in.
It’s not a sin to lie this small lie, right? I just want her to agree.
“But your highness…..”
I interupts Mark with a fake coughing fits. I see my parents, grandma and sister watch in amusement.
“Mark, I’m…. I’m not fine, I… I.. ” I start the cough again, this time louder than the first.
“Shut up Harry. Don’t talk, save your energy. I’ll get someone to get a doctor” she said and wanted to stand up but I hold her back.
“I don’t need a doctor” I said in a fake weak voice.
But since I’m a good actor, she won’t notice that I’m faking it.
“You don’t need a doctor? You can’t be serious, do you want to bleed yourself to death?” She turns to the guards.”Why are you just standing there? Go get the doctor”
“Elena, it’s only you that can save me now. And I don’t have much time left, I only have ten minutes left” I start to breath rapidly. “My life is in your hands now, please save me” I said.
She looks at me confused.
“I’m not a doctor, how can I save your life?” She asked me.
I sighed weakly.
” Say yes” I told her.
She look even more confused.
” Say yes? For what?” She asks.
“Marry me” I said.
She finally understand, I see her cheeks turned red.
Then she hits my chest, though her hand is very soft and her hit on my chest feels like a feather touch. I coughed uncontrollably, just to get her sympathy.
Cause honestly, I don’t care if she agrees to marry out of sympathy.
“I’m so sorry. Did I hit you hard?” She asks.
I shake my head.
“Marry me, Elena. I might not even get the chance to say this in the next ten minutes, please say yes”
” Harry, how can you still make jokes in a time like this? I can’t give you a reply now”
” Then my hopes for living is no more, I’ll just give up, let go of the thiny threading that’s holding my breath and die” I said.
I take in a large amount of air and released it, like I just breathe my last breath. Then I fake died.
“Harry? Harry? Harry!” I feel Elena shaking me.
But I didn’t blink, I remained stiff.
“Harry! Harry wake up!” I still don’t open my eyes. “Harry wake up! If this is a joke stop it, cause it’s not funny!” I still remain silent.
“If you don’t wake up, I’ll never forgive you. Do you hear me? I’ll not, never, ever forgive you. Wake up!” Com’on say what I wanna hear.
“Oh my God! Harry wake up. Ok, fine, fine. I’ll marry you, I’ll marry you but you have to wake up. You can’t marry me in your grave right?”
Hmmm. Say it one more time, I need to be assured.
“I said I’ll marry you, why are you still not waking up yet? Wake up, Harry! I’ll marry you, I’ll marry you, I’LL MARRY YOU!” She screamed the last part.
I open my eyes slowly. She looks at me eagerly, and I can see genuine fear in her eyes. Oh my love, I’m so sorry for scaring you.
“Now that you said you’ll marry me, you can’t take it back, right?” I asked.
” No, no” she shakes her head.
I don’t know what got over me. But I quickly sit up and crash my lips on hers, completely forgetting about the pain in my shoulder.
