Episode 19
By Chidimma Mirabel
“Will you marry me?”
Angela choked on air….
She hit her chest trying to calm down. After some minutes she calmed down…
“I’m sorry what did you say?” She asked…
“I asked you to marry me” He said and pocketed his hands then leaned on the wall…
“Are you crazy, we barely know each other and you want me to marry you?” She asked.
“Well yeah. I figured out you’re suitable to be my wife, from the looks of it you’re different from the other women I’ve met who are just out there trying to seduce me. I want you to marry me but of course, love isn’t involve, also we’re never gonna go intimate plus we’ll respect each other privacy” He said with a cool expression
Angela began thinking about it…
“I’ll give my answer tomorrow” She said.
Jackson then nodded…
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at this exact location tomorrow. Till then goodbye” He said and walked out of the restroom.
Angela walked out too and went to the kitchen thinking about it…
She saw Nina cooking and sighed in relief. She’s happy that Nina got her back.
She went and sat down and thought about it…
“Hey what’s wrong this time, don’t tell me you now met the king in person” Nina said sitting down beside her…
Angela told her everything about his proposal and her mouth dropped to the floor.
“You,,,mean to tell me that prince Jackson wants to marry you” Nina asked in disbelief.
Angela simply nodded.
“I’m so confused, what can I do?” She asked.
Nina also thought for some time with her…
“Well you said you wanted to get your revenge on your family for what they did to you. Why don’t you see it an opportunity to get revenge” Nina said.
“Well I already thought about it and I don’t want to sound like I’m accepting because I want his money” She said.
“Girl this is really complicated. Just take your time and think but don’t make a decision you’ll regret afterwards” Nina said and stood up to go and work.
Angela shrugged it to the back of her mind and then walked to the sink as she began washing the dishes.

After his encounter with Angela, he went to one of his company. He has something some configuration to do there.
He smiled at his craziness
*How can I propose to someone like that, in the restroom. Something is wrong with me* He thought.
*Well that’s the best option, by the time I clock 30, father will pass the throne to me. I have to find someone who’ll be suitable to be the queen and from what I’ve observed in her she’ll make a great queen* He thought as he entered his office.

** At night **
Angela took a bath after her dinner with Nina. She laid on her bed as she stared at the ceiling thinking about the proposal.
*Should I accept? And also if I agree, will the real Angela be happy that I’m marrying her to the prince?* She thought.
She stared at her bracelet. With a determined look, she removed it and placed it on the table nearby as she drifted off to sleep.

Note: This is a discussion between Kaila and the real Angela.
Kaila opened her eyes and saw herself back in the white area.
“Angela? Angela? Please I need to talk to you” She called.
Not long after the real Angela walked up to her with a smile on her face.
“Angela, I need to talk to you about something” Kaila said.
“No need to talk for I already know what you wanna ask. My answer is yes, whatever decision you take I’ll stand by you” Angela said with a smile.
“I also do want to ask you another question” Kaila said.
“No need to speak up I already know what you want to ask. Our thoughts are connected and the only way we can communicate is by you removing your bracelet while sleeping” Angela said.
“Now you wanted to ask me how all this happened, well I can’t tell you, the only person who knows all this is Evaristo” Angela said.
“Father?” Kaila said confusedly and Angela nodded.
“I have not much time to spend with you for it’s already morning. Goodbye we’ll talk at night” Angela said and disappeared.
Almost immediately the alarm began bleeping. Angela put it off as she sat up on the bed.
She picked up her bracelet and wore it still in deep thought
“What can dad know about this” She thought.
She got up from bed and then fixed her bed properly. She walked out of her room and then went to take a bath.
After her shower she wore a white shirt and a blue jeans. She walked to the kitchen but was surprised to see Nina up early. She was even done with the cooking.
“Looks like someone wants to break my record of cooking” Angela said.
“Not that’s not it, I just wanted to give you enough time to think about it” She said as she sat down on the chair to eat
They ate and chatted happily. After their meal they walked out of their house and boarded a cab which took them to the restaurant. Luckily for them they are closing by noon today.
She walked into the kitchen and began her cooking. It has been four days since she’s in this body and honestly she prefer this kind of life to her former one.
Her heart increased in beating as she checked the time. It was already time…
She excuse herself and walked to the restroom. She peeped in and no one was in before she entered fully.
*Maybe he changed his mind* She thought.
The door suddenly closed revealing Jackson. He was standing behind the door..
Angela flinched as she saw him.
“Geez, you wanna kill me before my time?” She said.
Jackson walked up to the sink and then removed a paper from his pocket. He placed it there together with a pen.
“Those are marriage certificate, if you agree simply sign and we’ll be married if not simply walk out of this restroom” Jackson said.
Angela looked at the papers and then the door. She looked up at Jackson, he was really tall…
With a determine look on her face she walked up to the papers and picked the pen. She halted for some seconds, she closed her eyes and quickly signed the papers…
She handed the papers back to Jackson who took it and kept it back in his pocket.
“I’ve agreed but in two condition. First you don’t interfere in my revenge and second my best friend gets to live with me” She said.
Jackson shrugged and nodded. He offered her a handshake.
“Congratulations we’re officially husband and wife” He said.
She slowly took the handshake.
*This is definitely the most weirdest marriage in my life. Who gets married in the restroom?* Angela thought.
“If you’ll excuse me I need to go and work.” She said and made to go but Jackson held her arm and pulled her back as he chuckled.
“Work? The future queen of Denmark doesn’t work for others, they work for you” Jackson said.
He removed his phone and dialed a number.
“Inform the maids to arrange the room that’s beside mine. There’s a new member in the family” He said looking at Angela. He hung up and kept back his phone.
“Come on let’s go, you need to meet my mother” He said and held her hand as he pulled her out of the restroom to the exit of the restaurant.
