"What are we doing here Andrei?". Anna asked as they kept walking into the forest. "Are you planning to kill me here?".
Andrei chuckled shaking his head. "Very funny Anna."
"I'm scared." Anna said and gripped his arm with her other hand. "Are we almost there?".
"Almost." He said.
Half an hour later Anna saw a very bright light in the distance like sunlight shining on the green grass ahead making her breath catch. It was a very beautiful place she didn't know existed in Mercia. She figured that nobody even knew it existed.
"Where's this place Andrei?". She breathed.
"This is... king's meadow." Andrei said with a smile. "My grandfather grew the trees and grass in memory of my grandma."
"Wow! it's beautiful!". She said in awe. "I never knew this place existed in Mercia."
"Oh it's not open to the public".
Jean Anna stared at herself in the mirror after she braided her hair into pigtails but left some strands curled at the side of her face then she picked up her glasses and put it on.Andrei had begged her to wear her glasses and make her hair like she used to. Of course she'd had no choice but to give in and now seeing herself looking like this… she realized she missed it too.The only thing missing was her overalls but God forbid she'd ever wear that to school to complete the look!.Anna stepped away from the mirror before she'd change her mind and went to get her school bag, purse and house keys and she left her room.Her parents were already seated at the dining table waiting for her. Her mother was also dressed for work while her father was wearing sweatpants and a white t-shirt."Good morning Mom, dad." She greeted and sat to eat breakfast."Mornin
Anna was in the girls restroom washing her hands after using the toilet when the door opened and Princess Serafina walked in surprising Anna but she said nothing and continued with what she was doing. "You're Jean Anna Lowan, aren't you?". Sera asked. "Andrei's new flame." "I'm Jean Anna but I'm not sure about the other part". Anna told her. "Andrei and I are just friends." Sera burst out laughing shocki
"Anna...what's wrong?." Lucy asked when she got over the shock as well. She wondered why Anna was staring at Andrei as if she wanted to murder him."Anna…" Andrei lifted his hand to touch her."Don't touch me!". Anna lifted a hand in warning. "Stay away from me." She packed up her stuff and stormed out of the cafeteria.Andrei and Lucy exchanged puzzled glances before Andrei rose and went after her. He had to know why she was so upset when just a while ago before she went to the restroom, she was smiling and laughing at his jokes. He couldn't get over the look of contempt he'd seen in her eyes.He'd thought and hoped that he would never see that look in her eyes again but he was wrong."Anna!." He called when he saw her going in the direction of the library. "Wait!."Anna didn't wait and walked faster instead until she broke into a run but Andrei
"Your Majesty… Jean Anna Lowan is here to see you." A guard informed Queen Bianca."Let her in". Bianca said without looking up from her iPad.The guard bowed and left. He returned with Anna a few seconds later and left."Good evening Your Highness." Anna greeted with a tremulous voice and curtsied.Bianca looked up from her iPad to Anna and slowly appraised her before she
Anna was silent after she heard what Andrei said and hoped she wasn't dreaming. She'd expected him to flare up and tell her he never wanted to speak with her ever again but certainly not that. Certainly not that he'd missed her after what she did to him.She could've rendered him impotent for all she knew and then she'd feel guilty all her life for crushing his dream of having one million kids in future."Anna… you there?". Andrei asked."Um...yeah." Anna cleared her throat. "You..you're not mad?"."I'm... disappointed". Andrei said. "Will you tell me what happened? I think after everything...I deserve an explanation."Anna sighed. "Princess Serafina told me you knew about the water episode and… you were the one behind it. She even showed me a video of you talking to a boy." It sounded silly to her now as she replayed the whole thing in her mind. She'd reacted that
"Oh my God!". A girl screamed as she stood at the entrance of the building watching as two royal cars pulled up front and a bodyguard alighted from the car in front to open the back door of the second one and Andrei Sebastiani alighted from the car looking like a Greek god with his hair shaved on one side and the rest gelled sideways. He had on his signature sunshades.Everyone had thought the Crown Prince wasn't coming back to Merc
Andrei marched into the school building like a man on a mission the next day, shoving aside whoever was in his way without any apology.He didn't want Sera to think he'd forgotten about her betrayal...oh no, she was going to pay for it and she should count herself lucky that she was absent yesterday so he couldn't unleash his wrath on her but he was very pleased when he saw her chatting and laughing with her friend Amanda by the lock
"How much did she pay you?". Andrei inquired."Five thousand... Your Highness." Simeon replied.They all gasped again in shock and the murmurings got louder."Are you happy now bastard?." Damien spat in disgust as his eyes flashed. "You've succeeded in humiliating her."Andrei looked at Sera and saw that she had tears in her eyes but they weren't sad tears… they were angry tears. He tutted&n
