Deacon spins the car around, enjoying taunting me and refusing to stop as if he wanted me to puke in his car. I felt dizzy as his car completely stop. "Are you alright?" Deacon said as he assisted me down.I gave him the thumbs up."Does riding in a fast car feel fun?" he teased."This is the first and only time I’ll do so," I said, putting both hands on my head. "I swear, I’m never going to ride there again.""It’s your first experience, so it’s natural to feel dizzy," he explained.Deacon’s friends, who are also racers, came over to us. They all shook my hand, one after the other. Honestly, this is making me uneasy. They were all focused on me and less on the race. They looked at me as if I am an actor."You know, Gemma, I’m actually surprised that Nyx brought a ‘FRIEND’ here," the guy in a leather jacket said.I forced a laugh."This is the first time Nyx has taken someone onto the racetrack," said the guy with a nose piercing.Deacon and his companions continue to talk. I simply no
"Prince Augustus!" I screamed as I moved nearer to where he crashed. I almost collapsed when I saw how hard his car had hit the railing. I continued crying out to him. I was too terrified to approach him, nor did I know what to do first.When I looked around the racetrack, I noticed everyone was just looking at his car and doing nothing. "S- someone..." No one came to rescue him, not even a medic or staff."They don’t want me, but once they realize I’m the prince, they’ll eventually like me."How come... There was no one here to help you? Both of my legs, which had previously been sluggish, now took a step closer, and as I moved, tears poured out, tears of sympathy rather than fear. When I glanced out the window and noticed the prince's eyes were open, I sighed in relief. There was a lot of blood on his head. I brushed it off before reaching out my hand to him. "I got you."I helped Prince Augustus out of the car by placing his hand on my shoulder. We hadn’t even gotten out of the car
We headed straight for Lincoln’s mansion to transfer the prince. Fortunately, Lincoln’s older sister is a doctor, but the prince remains in danger. He lost a lot of blood and was in a lot of pain. Lincoln’s sister wants to take the prince to the hospital because he can be treated better, but we insist on keeping him in Lincoln’s house since he has a secret that no one can discover. Lincoln’s sister is acquainted with Prince Augustus but unaware that he was a prince. When she discovered this, she quickly asked Lincoln to take Prince Augustus to her chamber and do whatever the doctor needed to do to save the prince’s life.Lincoln and I were escorted out of his sister’s room. My fears did not leave me after she shut the door. I was so nervous that I couldn’t even stand by idly. I’m strolling back and forth as Lincoln sits in front of the door."Can you settle down? Prince Augustus will be OK; my sister is one of the greatest doctors in the world, and she’ll never let the prince die.""I
Lincoln had to go to Borstal, leaving me alone to keep an eye on the prince. The silence was deafening, with just the noise of the heart monitor to be heard. I didn’t move my gaze away from the prince, and I didn’t do anything else that eventually caused me to feel drowsy.I was able to keep my eyes open at first but eventually fell asleep. A loud boom of something jolted me awake. My eyes almost widened as I realized the prince was no longer in the room. I instantly rose, and when I exited the room, I noticed Prince Augustus coming down the stairs. I called out his name before he took his first step down the stairs. He was knocked off balance because it surprised him when I emerged out of nowhere. I walked rapidly with my foot to keep him from going down the stairs, but even if I caught him, he would still fall, so I had no choice but to drag him away from the stairs and yank him along with my body. Both of us landed with a loud bang, and as Prince Augustus fell on my body, the wound
As soon as I got out of the taxi, I sought out Allerixk and Blythe. As I was searching for them, I thought about calling Mama and Kuya Samuel, but their phones were out of service. A familiar voice from the backyard cried out the name of Allerick. I knew it was Blythe. There I saw Allerick laying down with Blythe standing in front of him, her clothing stained with blood and sobbing.I drew nearer to them. When I saw the blood on the road, a deep sensation of terror washed over them, a short paralysis. "Allerick!" I yelled."Ate, ate!" Blythe cried out in distress.I grabbed Allerick’s backpack as he was lying on the ground, looking for something I could wrap around his head before picking him up. "Get a cab!""Ate...""Blythe, take a cab!" I said as I shoved Blythe away.Blythe wept with a loud voice as she rushed away from us, and when she returned, she was already in the cab. Allerick was carried by the driver. Blythe couldn’t stop weeping and refused to let go of Allerick’s hand unt
"You must make a decision; if he is not operated on soon, he may die," the doctor said."However, you mentioned there was a possibility he would not be able to cope just after the procedure.""We still have to try; we will do everything we can to make the procedure successful; all you have to do is believe that he will survive.""Doctor, how much does the procedure cost?" I asked."The craniotomy operation costs $20,703, or a million.""Million?" I murmured. That’s how huge Allerick’s surgery will be. Where do we get that much money? We couldn’t even afford Allerick and Blythe’s school fees."H-how are we going to pay for such a costly surgery of Allerick?" Mama grasped her head. I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing Mama sobbing and struggling again, so I walked out of the hospital.I kept walking fast as if I couldn’t stop myself. Even if I attempt to keep back the flood of tears that have been building up since then. I can’t; it’s flowing into my eyes on purpose. And while I ran, my
I waited outside the door for the prince to signal that it was safe for me to enter King Lucien’s office. It is impossible to hear a single thing they say since the room is soundproof. Until Mr. Osiris opened the door, which have served as a cue for me to go inside. As I moved near King Lucien’s desk, my hand became restless. I stopped walking and lowered my head in respect."Your Majesty," "Gemma, I wasn’t expecting to see you so early." As he reclined in his chair, King Lucien began to speak. "You don’t seem to be in good shape."Y-your majesty, please forgive me for breaking our agreement and for coming back to beg for your help once again. It’s just that I don’t know of anybody else who may be able to help." I took a deep breath and continued. "My younger brother, Allerick, had an accident, and the doctor determined that he needed surgery, which would cost almost a million pesos. I’m well aware that I don’t have the right to do so, but we cannot afford my younger brother’s surgery
Preparing for the royal ball has once again become the unifying concern of everyone. Influential, wealthy, and famous people have been invited to the ball scheduled for tomorrow. Borstal’s elite students are among those who belong to this group. Prince Augustus couldn’t keep his anxiousness from what he had heard. Tomorrow, everyone will get the privilege of meeting the long-hidden prince, who will also be the next monarch, to sit on the throne. In any case, despite Prince Augustus’s protestations, the reigning will take place since he was the second son of King Lucien.As a result, the whole Borstal campus is abuzz with rumors about the royal ball. It’s because, as I previously said, they were all invited by the King to take part.While I was in school, I saw Prince, who was now the whisper of the school. He was sitting quietly in his chair, but I could see he was weary of what he had been hearing. He sprang to his feet and walked out the door. After I caught up with him, he made his
