Miranda smiled inwardly as she arrived in the finishing line giving her opponents a good space. Nothing beats motorcycle races. Especially when it's illegal in United kingdom. The rush of euphoria and fear of being caught mixed together always got her blood boiling.
She got off her motorcycle smiling as Adam, her bestfriend and Manager approached her smiling.
"Engineer by day, Racer at night.. living your best life huh?" Adam asked taking her Helmet.
"Let's get out of here, we have a boat race coming up by Sunday.. I need to leave before my father trails me here" She smiled dragging her motorcycle with her.
"Oh.. princess by the week" Adam whispered.
"Shut up, I'm not a princess" Miranda smiled lifting her motorcycle into the back of her truck kissing it.
"Miranda..." Adam began .
"Shhhhh, I get shivers when I hear my full name, it makes it look like my mom is lurking somewhere looking at me with her stern face.. 'A lady must never run nor climb and you are one' gosh.."Anda mimicked as she got into her truck.
" The money came in"Adam waved his phone smiling.
" I guess, I'll be repairing that car this week,Baron always come through when I need him"Anda smiled driving through the city to her studio rented apartment.
" Its only in movies that Princesses don't want their father's money and influence, you're the first"Adam looked at her.
" I am not a princess, My father isn't the king "Anda rolled her eyes stopping the car.
" I'll see you at the airport tomorrow morning? "Adam asked.
" You bet"Anda smiled watching Adam climb down and run into his apartment.
Turning up the volume of her radio, she nodded at the music. Nothing beats this. Enjoying your youth without Paparazzi taking pictures and writing stories.
She loved walking down the streets without questions or stares. She absolutely loved not having to live in her father's castle behaving like her mother. Cold and defiant. She couldn't do it.
She wasn't a princess but daughter of the prime minister of Dullard. A little English country sourranded by water and Trees.
Her father owned Costa automobile Companies and Car garages in Dullard. He was the most powerful man in Dullard and the king's bestfriend while her mother runs Theresa Malls.
Yes. She came from a very wealthy, Powerful and Influential family but that doesn't mean she wanted to be.
Growing up, All she wanted to be was Just Anda Samuel and when she finally got a degree in buisness just as her father wanted. She travelled to the states to study engineering where she disappeared after getting her certificate .
Anda locked her car and ran up the creaky stairs whistling in happiness.she choose this house for it's poor neighbourhood and balcony.Her doorknobs was broken and it wasn't strange since it was a normal thing which was why she never kept anything valuable in here.
She froze in her tracks as soon as her eyes landed on the tall slim woman dressed in pristine white suit and red stiletto heels. A smile on her face as Anda stared in horror.
"Goodevening Miranda" Judith greeted bowing slightly.
"Judith .. you found me"Anda whispered softly masking her face and dropping her helmet on the bed .
" What have you done with your hair?"Judith asked frowning in disapproval.
" It kept getting in my face so I cut it"Anda answered.
" And not because you want to cut off any thing that ties you to De Costa? You even dyed it black.. it must have cost alot to colour your rich red hair"Judith smiled.
Even after these years, Judith somehow can read her mind even before she speaks. After all these years, Anda still cowered under Judith's penetrating gaze and powerful presence.
Judith have been working for her family all her life. As a Nanny, Secretary, Driver and even bodyguard. She was her father's most trusted and loyal personal Assistant.
" You haven't changed one bit.. you never get old.. what's are you doing you? "Anda asked.
" What do you think? I'm here to bring you home to Dullard, Your father wants to see you"Judith answered.
" I'm not going Judith, I haven't being to Dullard for Six years and I've been out of trouble and Media.. I want to keep living that way.. without My father"Anda stood up.
" You are to be brought home, even if it means to tying you up, your father wants you in Dullard by tomorrow evening" Judith smiled.
"How did you find me?" "Anda asked.
" It was simple Miranda, You never could resist any race Track so we arranged one with your Boss, Baron oh and don't blame him, it was either that or have him arrested, Racing Is illegal... And like always, you came running"Judith smiled.
" I'm not going with you Judith, I still have things to do here, I work here, my friends live her, I can't pack up one day and leave without a proper goodbye.. please, let me say goodbye"Anda pleaded.
" I can't risk having you disappear again so forget it. Let's go, Miranda"Judith smiled.
"Fine, but let me pack my things?" Anda smiled.
"Pepper spray? Teaser guns and a gun, I took them away so don't even think on using them today" Judith replied.
"You got me, I'm going to drink water in the kitchen before I leave" Anda went to the kitchen opening her refrigerator. suddenly She took her preserved bottle for this task crashing it on Judith's head.
She immediately jumped from the window to the balcony.
"Anda don't..." Judith shouted.
"I'd rather risk dying than going back to my cage" Anda replied climbing down the balcony and running to the motorcycle she always kept ready under the flight of stairs.
This was what she meant when she said she liked the balcony. A good escape route whenever she got found and it played it's role. Goodbye neigbours she thought as she raced into the night. She was never coming back here. It has being compromised.
She stopped in front of Adam's garage.
Six Years LaterAnda tiptoed into the palace quietly signing the guards to keep quiet as she went into her room."Did you go out to race again?" The King asked.He was sitting on her bed waiting."Are the kids already asleep?"Anda asked."It's 4:54am..what do you think?"Nelson asked.Anda had given birth to two sets of boys on their first year and a boy on the second before the fourth year after a miscarriage,she had a daughter."I ..I didn't,I swear...oh I did,I know..I'm pregnant but I just went there to fix some motorcycles and watch them but one of the racers had an accident and couldn't come so I stayed in for him" Anda said."Who is the racer that had an accident?" Nelson asked."Anda Samuels" Anda whispered."Anda,I love you.i love everything about you but you can't race with a nine months pregnancy..what if the baby decided to come in tonight and you were on a track,you could have been had a terrible accident" Nelson said."The baby didn't even kick instead,it understood mommy
"Miranda De Costa, Do you accept to be Dullard's Queen and Nelson Don Fisco's Bride and Wife? Do you accept the responsibilities of being The Queen and Mother of the Nation? Do you agree to be a role model to the daughters of Dullard? "Samuel De Costa asked." Yes Fath... prime minister, I do. Yes prime minister I Miranda De Costa accept "Miranda De Costa smiled." From today onwards, you are joined not only as a soul but rulers of the kingdom and the Royal Court"Samuel said.The Queen stood up and handed over her ring to the Prime minister who raised it up."This is the symbol of royalty and power, it means Queen Elenora Don Fisco's position have been passed to Miranda De Costa in front of witnesses and family"The Prime minister gave it to the Crown Prince who put it on Miranda's finger." From today onwards, you the people of Dullard have King Nelson Don Fisco as your King and Miranda Don Fisco as your Queen"The prime minister announced." Long live the king.. Long Live the King.. L
Anda threw the diary on the wall pacing the floor, the door opened Alex and Isaac walked over to her."Where is he? Where is the crown prince?" Anda ran to them."We haven't heard from him since he separated from Isaac, Anda we need to involve someone with connections unless you want the evidence and the crown prince gone" Alex said."What do you mean gone? It's just the diary right? I'm going to give the Queen the diary and ask her to release the crown prince.. how did you guys fucking lose him"Anda shouted angrily"We need to inform someone before he gets taken away, the tracker in his car says he's at the mortuary but I couldn't find him there" Isaac replied."Father.. father.." Anda ran out of her room down the hall running into her father's office where he was talking in low tones with Judith."Father, I need to talk to you" Anda said."Is everything okay?" Samuel De Costa asked standing up."No Father, They took the crown prince. The Queen is going to kill him" Anda cried."Calm
"You need to calm down Mi" Alex said."Calm down?How can I be possibly calm in this situation? Nelson will never give up on me, he will give up on the throne just to be with me and my children are never going to know their heritage or their grandparents"Anda shouted." So? Are you going to lose the baby before it even gets here? Chill the fuck out you pregnant woman and allow your darling fiance to find a way around this"Alex replied." He's right, You do not need stress now "The Crown Prince said looking at her." What are we going to do? "She asked in a small voice sitting down." Alex, please take her back to the De Costa palace, I will come over when we are done okay? "The Crown prince said." What are you going to do? Tell me, take me with you"Anda replied." It's a place pregnant women should never be, Trust me okay.. next week, we are going to get married and nothing Is going to stop it, not even my mother"The crown prince smiled and walked out of the office.Falling in love w
Anda watched her mother talk to the Chef in charge of food for her wedding feeling sleepy and dizzy.She had been feeling unwell since the wedding plan and only wanted to be in her room."I'm done, The Main course and side dishes are planned for. Deserts too. Now we really need to decide on that cake" April De Costa smiled sitting beside her."I cannot believe you dragged me off from bed to decide on what to cook, they can share water and snacks for all I care, I just want to be quickly done with all of this and move in with my husband, I've been having withdrawal syndrome from being apart from him" Anda rolled her eyes."To think that few months ago, you were totally against getting married to anyone but now you are not only getting married but becoming the future queen of Dullard, thereby raising my status to the Queen's mother and the Royal in-law" April smiled happily."We are lucky I fell in love, and it can only be with Nelson, to think that I cannot live without him is an under
1st February 2022I stared at my hand on my stomach, I couldn't believe it. I am pregnant. I have the king's child inside me just as The Queen predicted."How did this happen?" I whispered to myself."I told you, if you are pregnant, the you are never leaving the palace, you are officially the king's woman and do you know the worst thing? You will not see your baby's face"Amy, One of the mistresses who I became friends with held my hand." I didn't plan for this to happen, I thought the king would let me go in exchange for sleeping with me"I said." He fooled you, The king doesn't run the Dillion. The Queen does and her words are rules that must be kept. She will take away your child as soon as it is born into the world, you will only ever hear his or her cries but never see it"Amy said." I'd rather get rid of it"I stood up picking up the small stool and smashing it at the door. I started hitting my stomach, trying to beat it out. Hysterical." Prestine.. Prestine . Stop, you will hu
