Twist of fate
By Humble Smith & Clara William
Episode 18
Victor’s POV
I head home with presh mother, I need to show her my house here, she needs to have a good rest after being treated, she had really gone through a lot at this age,
She needs peace of mind and soul..
“Are you the real mother of presh?” I asked as we both sat on the couch in my house in India..
She sighed deeply and bowed her head…
“I know it sounds queer but I don’t really know..” She replied and I arched my brow
“How??..”
“This is the secret I said earlier, it would have no sense saying it to you now, presh has to be here…” She said and I breathed heavily..
“This is making me wish presh would regain her sight sooner, I need to hear all these secret, its so much now” I sighed and she smiled and held my palm..
“I may not know everything about you but I swear, you are lucky” she said and I gave her the “explain” look..
“If you had gotten married to Anna, I feels that there would be great terror in the land, the worst thing that would ever happen to the prince is to marry the wrong lady” she said and I took a deep sigh..
“Its still confusing, I don’t know what to think of..how is it possible that Anna isn’t the right wife???”
It was clear to me and everyone, we all saw it…
How can it all be a lie???
” there is much you don’t know about, there are many secrets Anna is hiding, wish you would get to know it all before it is too late” she said and I stood up and head to the window looking into the city as my mind clouded with different thoughts
If Anna isn’t the real princess then how did she got to make the Oracle point at her..
How was it even possible??..I’m sure there must be a lot I don’t know, I had been in darkness for so long…
Fate brought me to presh because she was the woman for me, now I see why Anna hates presh, she has something she is hiding and that is connected to who really is the real princess??
Why didn’t I even saw it earlier, presh did nothing to Anna, she was just a poor blind girl but Anna suddenly hated her so badly, that shows she is having something beneath..
I shrugged and turned behind to see presh mother already dozing, I smiled as I saw the resemblance…
She was just like presh in every part…
My phone rang and I picked it…
“We have got him and he is already tied up, about to begin torture just wanted you to know…” He said and I smiled
“Eager to hear what he has to say, make sure he spit it all!!” I breathed and hung the call..
Presh please get your sight quickly, it is really needed…
Anna’s POV
“Assemble all the guard and search all the community for Tony presh father, make sure you find him…you must find him, don’t come back and tell me he isn’t found, I’ll kill you all if you say so!!!” I growled to the head security who bowed his head lowly
“Okay ma!” He said and left.
“Amanda, I’m leaving for india, I need to find presh, I have a feeling that she is under going surgeries, what if she eventually sees???!!” I gritted moving my palm over my hair in exasperation.
“That’s one of the thing that should never happen, she would regain her past memory the moment she sees Victor, they would start loving themselves and that would leak our secret…” She cried
“We have to take the risk of killing her, she may have the royal blood but I don’t care anymore, let the curse befall me while she dies and get forgotten” I fumed
“No…don’t destroy your life that way, there is still option, we can find where she is and take her away, she is blind, we can take her away and lock her up”. She said
” how can I even find one person in a whole country, this would be the most stressful work..” I sighed
“I have an idea..” Amanda said and I smiled
“I know you gets the idea any time it becomes complicated” I complimented making her smile
“You would forge a fake medical file, no one knows you in India, you would appear as a nurse and meet presh in the hospital” she said
“I don’t know the hospital she is now if really she is in a hospital…”
“I’d find out her location from the last place recorded from the chips before it was crushed, just needs some time, I have friends across the world who can dig into systems, they would get her in no distant time, when we gets it, you would forge a CV and get a job in the hospital” she said and I took a deep breath, I’m not liking the idea, not only that it was a long process, it was also risky..
“Its too risky!” I lamented
“Okay, I think we should sneak in with some random family or maybe meet with some doctors and talk them into showing us where she is..” She said and I smiled happily..
“Yes, that’s better, I would fly to India while you handle the case of presh father, make sure he is killed immediately and…don’t forget to send the name of the hospital to me and the address, after that then come up too…we have to end this once and for all…” I said sternly and she nodded with her face grim..
“Presh must not see Victor please..” She muttered and I fumed at the fact that Victor was really getting close to presh which is really bad…
**********
It was morning the next day and I am already sitting on a seat in my jet heading to india…
I was damn happy because Amanda had gotten the location of the hospital more quick than I had thought…
It seems like all hope isn’t lost like I had thought, Victor wouldn’t know I had already gotten her location, before he knows it, I had taken presh away…
Don’t ask me how I would do it, just watch and see…
I thought it would be so hard not until I saw that one of the doctor in charge of presh treatment is that same doctor who had carried out a mission for me years ago…
I couldn’t be happy less, I think I’m destined to win, he would help me take presh away.. I would succeed in bringing her to my grasp and shatter all her hope..
It would be a great shock to Victor, he wouldn’t know what struck him..
He may hate me if he likes but there is no doubt he must marry me, the Oracle has spoken…
When he marries me then I’ll complete my mission, the only person who can stop me is presh and I have to take care of her case before getting Victor..
“Presh must not see Victor” that voice resounded in my memory..
Something that happened a very long time ago…
That was the last warning from him..
Ohhh, I need to be fast, I rather kill presh than allow her regain her sight..
*********
Victor’s POV
I sat glumly beside presh, she had regain consciousness but the bandage all over her face hasn’t been removed, she would be undergoing another surgery which would be the last one to decide her fate…
Its either she regains her sight or lose it forever…this is the reason why my mind is restless and I feel like crying..
Her palm was into mine but she can’t talk or see me, I could feel her pain..
She had heard the words of the doctor and would really be in fear now, fear of the worst happening…
What if it happens that she would never see??
I don’t just want to think of that because I may start shedding uncontrollable tears…
“Presh…” I called and her palm grasped mine more..
“I’m so sorry for what you are passing through, who would have known that you aren’t who they think you are, you look worthless outside but inside you lies greatness…
You are the lady for me that’s why they want to take you away, but who can change what fate brought together, you are my princess, the woman to rule the land with me…” I purred and she moved her head sideways to my direction..
There wasn’t any doubt she was shocked and has a question for me but she can’t do any of that…
I could sense her plight and It was really hurting me, I wish I can change it immediately…
Her palm folded around mine giving me a tingling sensation, I couldn’t help but kssed it…
Just then, my phone rang..
I took it out and saw the caller was Anna…
My face contorted into anger on seeing it and I really wanted to cut the call but i felt I need to hear her out..
I’m not yet clear on who the real heir is…if the oracle known for truth could point at her, how can I doubt it even when everything around me says she isn’t the one.
I need more concrete evidence to clear my mind…
“Hello my love, Vic..please tell me my crime, why do I deserve all this..I didn’t call you since so you would call and tell me the reason but you didn’t care about me…” She sobbed immediately I answered the call..
‘Is this the reason why you called?? ” I seethed and I could sense she was shocked
“Just when I wanted to change for a better woman you left me, you abandoned me, what about our marriage???..Victor think of this, presh can be from the evil trying to bring down the royalty, tell me why you fell for her if she isn’t…..”
“Shut that smelly pit you called a mouth…if there is any evil here???..then count your self as one…for the moment, stop calling me till presh regains her sight, we would know the truth later!” I snapped and hung the call…
Presh has her gaze turned to me even tho she couldn’t see, she could hear the phone call…
Her fist was clenched and I wondered why??..
Was she from the evil???
Was that the reason I fell for her???..Anna word looked a little bit true because that was another reason that could make me fall for someone different from who the Oracle ordained…
I plopped down on the chair totally devastated and befuddled, I don’t know what to believe now..
I was about thinking through about presh being evil when a call came in, it was the man i sent to get presh father…
“Hello any improvement???” I asked with my heart beating fast..
“Much improvement, the man couldn’t even bear pain, he spited it all in less than a hour of torture..” He said and I felt joy surge through me..
“So tell me, my ear is itching”
“The secrets are really unbelievable and shocking..”
“We recorded his confession..listen…” He said and an audio began…
“Please..I’m not presh father in fact I don’t i know who her father is..I was employed to cause her pain and the person who employed me was Anna….”
My heart flipped at that statement…
“She and Amanda planned it together, they wanted her dead but can’t kill her because she has a Royal blood in her vein..she was made blind to cover the past from being revealed…”
My heart was thumping as those words came out..
“Victor the Prince was someone they never wanted to come near presh because of a reason I can’t tell…”
I heard the sound of beating and shrill of pain…
“Tell us the reason!!” I heard a voice in the background..
“I don’t know, I was never told…all I know is that presh wasn’t blind from childbirth, she became blind when she was 17 years and I guess her memory was washed….I don’t actually know what happened…
“There is a secret she knew but can’t say it till she sees Victor with her eyes…that’s why Anna and Amanda wouldn’t want her to see instead she was left in the world of pain and anguish so she would die in it…”
The audio clip stopped and I heard a gun shot…
” we killed him after that because we got report that he is being searched for..” I heard Jade voice, the guy I sent for the mission..
I couldn’t reply him…I was dumb.
What other evidence do I need????
Anna and Amanda made presh blind to hide the truth…
Now I know really that the enemy here is no other people than, Anna and Amanda!!
