Prince Harry ???
At H. M. M. restaurant…
.
“I’m Tom and this is Harrison”
Tom? Why does this name sounds familiar…
“Sorry, Tom, but have we met before?” I asked.
“No, your highness” he pause. “But I’mma here to help you” he replied.
I looked at him, feeling confused.
“Help me? How?” I asked.
He shifts his gaze to the chairs.
“Please sit down” I told them.
They sits down, I watch them curiously wondering how they can help me.
“So…how do you intend to help me, Tom?” I asked.
He clears his throat.
“Your highness, I believe you remember that incident from two years ago, when your wife went to the club and was raped by your brother”
I clenched my jaw and grind my teeth against each other. That day is the day I will never forget, at least not until I prove that my wife is not the slut the media called her.
Tom studies my expression and nods.
“So….I’m the security guy in charge of the CCTV footage” he said.
My mouth involuntarily hang open, I blinked. I thought he’s dead, or am I seeing his ghost?
Wait…does ghosts even exist?…
“How come you are alive? I went to your home but your wife told me you’re dead”
“Yes, I was at the brick of death. But a farmer saved me and faked my death just to make my killer forget about me. When I regain consciousness I wanted to meet with my family, but they already believe I’m dead, going back will only alert the killer. Then he might come for my family too” he explained.
I understand him. I don’t need him to tell me who the killer is, I already know him. It’s Stephano, my kind-hearted brother, let’s give him that.
“So, what happened back then, did Stephano really slept with my wife?” I asked him.
Please say no! Say no!.
He smiles and begin to tell me how it happened.
.
.
.
“So that’s how it happened” he concluded.
I turned to the other guy, Harrison.
“What about you? What did Stephano got you to do for him?” I asked him.
“your highness, I was one of Prince Stephano’s men. He ordered me and some guards to poison the queen mother’s wine, but when the operation wasn’t successful, he ordered his men to kill us. They shot us in our chests and leave us in a deserted place, fortunately someone came by, but by then the others had died. I was the only one that survived, I have been meaning to meet with you and help you expose him, but I heard you… You… You…. ”
Why is he stuttering.
“I… What?” I asked.
“Please forgive me for saying it, your highness. But I heard you weren’t mentally stable, so I had to wait for the right time” he said.
I nod. If they can come with me to Peoria, I can stop Stephano and make him pay for his deeds. But… We need proof, not only words.
“Tom, we need more than your words to bring Stephano down” I told him.
He takes something out of his pocket and puts it on the table, it’s a….. Flashdrive?
“This will prove Princess Elena’s innocence, everything Prince Stephano did that night, from the moment he spiked the drinks are here” he said.
I nod and picked the flashdrive.
“But can you come with me to Peoria and tell everyone what you just told me?”
“Yes, your highness. That’s why we came here” they said.
“Good, very good. You can go for now, I’ll let you know when I’m ready to go back” I told them.
They stands up and bowed.
“Yes, your highness” then they exits the room.
Mark comes and take long strides toward me.
“Your highness, do you believe them?” He asked me.
I stare at the door.
“I don’t know yet, but if they are telling me the truth, then we’ll leave for Peoria soon”
Mark shakes his head.
“I don’t trust them”
I simply smile. Mark never trust anyone who’s not me or himself. He thinks every other person has bad intentions, which makes him always at alert.
“Well, we don’t have a choice”
“Then you should be thinking of how to convince Princess Elena into coming with us, cause I know for sure that she’s not gonna agree with you”
Yeah, that’s true. Elena doesn’t seem like she’s ready to go back to Peoria anytime soon.
But she’s my wife, I have many ways to convince her.
“She’ll agree”
“How?” He scoffs.
I smirk.
“I have my ways. But before then, check Tom’s and Harrison’s background let’s confirm if they’re truthful”
“Yes, your highness!”

Elena (Katie)???
Harry’s penthouse….
.
By the time I was done grocery shopping, already It’s 6:15pm. And Harry would be home soon, I quickly arrange the stuffs I bought in their places and decided to make something quick and easy for dinner….. An omelette.
I put the pan on the gas and melt the butter, while I bear the eggs with a fork. I poured the eggs on the pan to avoid it getting stuck, I added my topings and serve it onto plates.
Just when I’m washing my hands, I feel arms wrapped around my waist from behind. The strong scent of mint fills my nostrils, and warmth overwhelmed me as sparks runs through my veins. I needn’t no one to tell me it’s Harry, I lean into his warmth.
“You’re home” I said, and I don’t understand why I’m feeling kinda…..happy? Saying this.
He trail ksses along my jawline.
“Hmm, yeah” he takes a peek at the omelette. “I think I can get use to this scene” he said.
“What scene?” I asked him.
“You know, coming back from work and meeting you in the kitchen cooking dinner for us and our daughter” he kissed my cheek. “Such a beautiful scene!”
I smiled. I think I like that idea too, knowing someone I have someone other than Peace to care for.
“So.. I’ll go take a shower, then come down for dinner” he said.
I simply nod. He removes his arms from my waist and I hear his footsteps going away, and I suddenly miss his warmth.
I guess I’ve been missing out on a lot, since two years ago.
I quickly take the omelettes to the dinning table and head towards Peace’s room. I enter the room and see Mark playing princess dollies with Peace.
I swear my daughter is so full of energy, I bet she’s being playing since morning and even still at home she’s still playing.
“I’m the pwesense, dive me my quan” she said preparing to battle with Mark.
I laugh quietly at her pronunciation, I suppose pwesense is Princess, dive is give and quan is crown.
“The crown is lost, I couldn’t find it, please forgive me princess” Mark pleads and pretends to be crying, wiping imaginary tears.
“No, no fordive, punish you” she says and Mark falls on his knees.
She starts hitting on his back.
“Bad boi, bad, bad boi” she says and continue hitting him, Mark pleads for mercy but Peace isn’t having any of that.
I guess I have to save him or else Peace will wear him out.
“Ok, baby. He’s had enough” I pull her away from him.
“Mama!” She calls happily when she sees me.
“Your highness, thank God you’re here” he stands up and I couldn’t help but laugh at his expression.
“Mark, are you ok?” I mock him.
He grim.
“I’m fine, very fine, your highness” he takes deep breath. “I have something to do, please excuse me” then he rushes out before I could say another word.
I laughed at him, Peace too joins me. I pinched her cheeks softly, and rub her nose with mine fondly.
“See what you’ve done, uncle Mark is scared of you” I told her.
“Weally?”
“Yeah, didn’t you see how scared he was?”
She nods and giggles.
“Come on, it’s time to bath”
She tries to move away from my arms.
“No, Mama. I don wanna” she cries.
I forget to tell you guys something, my little angel is a dirty girl, he hates anything that gets her clean. Maybe she got this trait from Harry.
I holds her tight.
“You can’t get away, you must take your bath” I carried her into the bathroom.
“No, mama. Noooooo!” She cries.
I $tripped off her clothes and puts her on the bathtub, then I poured water on her.
.
.
I wore her mickey mouse PJs, I put her hair on French braids.
“Now you look like my daughter” I said and kissed her forehead, Peace just pouts.
The door open and Harry comes in. He takes Peace in his arms and caresses her cheek.
“What’s wrong with Princess pouty?” He asked.
“She doesn’t want me to bath her”
“Really?” He smirks. “I wonder where she got that from”
He pretends to be in deep thoughts.
“Hmm, I think she got it from you” he said.
I gasped loudly and pulls his ear.
“Ow!” He cried.
“What did you say?” I asked.
“I said she got it from me” he said.
“Say it louder”
“SHE GOT IT FROM ME!!”
I nod and smile, while Peace laughs at him. I released his ear, he rubs it and glares at me playfully.
“You are a maniac”
I just send him a wink. Just then my stomach growls loudly.
“Oooh, someone’s hungry”
“Yeah, let’s go to the dinning table now, before I eat you for dinner”
He smirks and leans closer to my ear.
“I wouldn’t mind that” he whispered.
I hits his chest.
“There’s a child here, mind your language” I scolds him and turn towards the door with my cheeks flaming up.
He laughs.
“Let’s go” he said, then we head downstairs.
.
.
After dinner, in Harry and Elena’s bedroom….
Finally it’s time to get some rest, Harry and I are cuddling with his head resting on my chest. According to him, that’s the only way he can get a good sleep.
Weird right?.
“Baby?” He called me.
“Hmm” I hummed softly.
“I want us to go back to Peoria”
My body went stiff instantly. Peoria? I swore never to go back to that place ever again.
“No” I said.
“Why? Don’t you want Mom and dad to see their granddaughter? Don’t you want your aunt to see her?” He removes his head from my chest and rests it on my shoulder. “Gabrielle will be so happy to see her niece too”
“Harry, I don’t want to go back. Stephano will harm you or our daughter”
He places a hot kss my shoulder and I shiver in pleasure.
“Forget about Stephano’s threat, I won’t let him hurt our daughter” he said……..
“Sht!!” Harry exclaims.
Harry quickly covers us with the duvet, he pulls out of me and we stare at each other with wide eyes. Peace climbs onto our bed and falls on our middle.
“Mama! Daddy” she smiles at us.
Harry and I pass her a fake smile.
“What are you doing here, princess?” Harry asked her.
“Sweep with mama!” She giggles.
“Of course” I hear Harry murmur under his breath.
Peace look between Harry and I, then she frowns.
“Mama, your cwothes” she points at my bare shoulders. Then she turns to Harry. “Daddy, cwothes too”
Then she grins widely and tries to take off her clothes too, Harry stopped her.
“No, princess. You can’t take off your clothes” he told her.
“Why?” She asked.
Harry looks at me for help but I shake my head. How can we explain why she can’t take off her clothes?
Then she starts crying. Ok, Harry and I are both nked underneath the duvet, how can we carry her and stop her from crying?
She starts kicking her legs, then I don’t know if she did it purposely or by mistake, but she used her legs to kick the duvet off our bodies and she saw our nked bodies.
I quickly kick Harry off the bed, he falls down in a loud bang. At least I can explain myself to Peace, after all we’re both girls, right….
