DIANA
I breathed in and out thrice before knocking on the door and it was opened immediately. "Diana, what are you doing here?" he asked with a surprised face while I was busy ogling at his bare six-pack chest. Wish I could just lick those abs. "Diana, Diana" he waved his hand at my face and I came out of my sinful thoughts. "What's wrong" he asked and a frown was on his face this time. “can...can I come in?" I asked lowly with obvious red cheeks. "Oh, a minute please," he closed the door, and a minute or two later he came out not alone this time, but with two blonde girls who had a "just got fucked face"; they were smiling sheepishly as Miguel kissed them. "Until next time girls," Miguel said and the girls nodded and walked away but Miguel slapped one of their asses making me cringe. "Do come in.” I walked in and I won't lie for the few years I've known Miguel this is the second time I am coming to his house. He has a playboy and bad-boy lifestyle which gives me eerie vibes. I sat on his brown leather couch which blends perfectly with the decoration of the living room. He went inside before coming out with a plate of cookies and a glass of orange juice. "Here." he dropped them on the table next to me, I muttered a thanks and took a sip from it before placing it back on the table. "So what brought you here, cause the last time I remembered the Diana I know won't come to my house unless forced or begged, so spill," he asked while I gulped when I saw that killer smile of his revealing his dimples on his both cheeks. Gosh Ana get a grip on yourself, I know he's cute but don't fawn like one of those call girls. Miguel has a thing, I don't know how to put it but just know that he has this aura that calls girls to him. I remember when I met him in an awkward situation for the first time, he was trying to run away from a girl while he was on a date with the girl's best friend, I mean who does that? So back to my story, he was in the same restaurant with me, with the 'current' girlfriend when another girl from nowhere barged in with an angry face. He was surprised or should I say shocked when she slapped him and called him different names, unable to take the insult and stood up glaring at her. I was on my way out when Miguel decided to use me as a scapegoat to run out by calling me his 'distant cousin' and the bimbos believed him and let him follow me out. He apologized after that and I forgave him, he took my number promising to call me for a coffee or drink anytime, so that's how we became friends. "Diana, this is the second time you're spacing out on me. Care to share what's bothering you?” Okay here goes nothing. "I need some cash, "I said, twisting my fingers, something I am fond of doing when I am nervous. "Why?" he asked with a hint of both surprise and amusement. "I really need the money, Miguel," I said, biting my bottom lip which I also do when my nervousness is at its peak. "Okay, how much do you need?" "200,000 (two hundred thousand)" "What are you going to do with that large amount of money and how are you gonna pay me back". "I promise to pay you back quickly but please I need the money right now." "Okay am gonna give you the money but on one condition." I arched my brows when he said that and was having a bad feeling about his condition. "What condition?" "I'll give you the money but you are not going to pay a dime, Diana." "Huh, why?" "You know I like you right and I really want to get down with you, so without taking much of your time here is what I want to do. I'm gonna fuck you in exchange for the money.” WHAT? I stared at him in disbelief, I can't believe he was saying something like this to me. All these years of knowing him, all he ever wanted was to fuck me. This fucktard!!! "Fuck you and your money Miguel, I just wasted my time coming to an asshole like you.” I got up heading to the door when he dragged me back holding my waist and squeezing my ass. "Miguel let go.” "I'm gonna fuck you till you pass out, I am gonna rub my hands all over these wide hips of yours," he said pushing me onto the couch and straddling me. “Miguel please don't do this, please," I said, already crying. "Don't worry I'm gonna be gentle and I'm gonna give you enough pleasure" He said while kissing my neck. "Miguel" I hit him on his chest and it was like am hitting a rock, he didn't move an inch oh God please don't let me be a victim of r*pe. “Diana you don't know how long I've been fantasizing about your body.” he place his hand on my left breast squeezing the life out of it and making me whisper. He tried kissing me but I struggled to move my face. He held my face tightly and kissed me like his life depended on it; more tears fell from my eyes. I raised my leg and kicked his dick really hard and he fell off me groaning on the couch. “Fuck you, Diana!” he cursed still groaning in pain. I quickly stood up and then carried my bag heading to the door but he held my hand again, I screamed in fear but a knock came at the door diverting his attention. "Miguel open the fucking door" A croak voice yelled and Miguel immediately stood up like someone being controlled to open the door, I ran out immediately not waiting for whosoever knocked to come in. I ran for so many minutes and after making sure I was far from his house I sat on a bench at the bus stop still crying. I can't believe I was almost r*ped, I took Miguel as a friend but he could do this to me gosh am feeling so helpless now. I cleaned my face before taking the bus to the hospital.**DIANA** The cars parked in the underground parking lot, and we all got out. We took the private elevator to avoid the press due to my anxiousness. I was sweating profusely and wasn’t sure if I could pull this off without a flaw. "Come on, girl, you can do this," I repeated in my head like a mantra, reassuring myself and building my confidence. Jeanne held my hand and gave me a warm smile, allowing me to breathe out and calm myself down. "Thanks, Jean," I said, appreciating her effort to soothe me. "You’re welcome." As we entered the main hall, I saw exactly what I had expected—and yet nothing like it. Reporters from various news stations and fashion magazines lurked around, eager for any news. Famous fashion designers like Tom, Alexander, and Coco sat in the front row, scanning the room, waiting for the show to begin. "They are waiting for you, Diana," my subconscious squealed, making me feel giddy inside. I took three deep breaths before approaching them while repeating my m
Author’s POV. Three months later. The shrill sound of wails woke up the two couples who were sleeping peacefully. They groaned and cursed as they got up, but the man held the woman’s hand. “Don’t worry, babe, I’ll take care of them. You just rest.” He said and pecked her cheeks before leaving the room. The woman muttered a little ‘thanks’ and went back to sleep almost immediately. Leonard walked to the adjacent room and saw his two princesses wailing like the earth was on attack, he walked to the end and picked their feeder, before going to the crib and once they saw someone's shadow they stopped crying, staring at their father with tears on their faces. “Hey pretties, I guess you’re hungry huh.” He asked and carried one from the crib, he placed her gently in his arms, placing the feeder in her mouth and the baby latched on to it quickly and that made Leonard chuckle, “You’re that hungry, huh?” He smiled and stared at his pretty angel whilst he played with the other.

EPILOGUE 2. This chapter is dedicated to those who took the time to read, comment, and vote. Thank you for your love and support, everyone. SEVEN MONTHS LATER DIANA. Life has been going great for me, although I’ve faced some challenges with my mental health issues. Thankfully, it’s all okay now, all thanks to my psychologist, Dr. Renee. She has helped me get back to my daily life; I no longer flinch or get startled when someone touches me. I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m a princess now, and sometimes, it still feels unbelievable that I come from a royal family. Even Harmony was surprised and happy for me. Thinking back to how I reacted when Leonard broke the news makes me laugh. I was such a jerk—sorry, I meant to say that princesses don’t curse. Oops! I argued with Leonard that he was lying, insisting my family was dead and would never come back. But after much persuasion, along with the story and evidence he provided, I hugged my dad for the first time. “Thinking again?”

Reporters were also present, eager to capture any scoop they could. “We are live at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the royal wedding and coronation of our beloved princess, Diana, and her groom, Leonard Smith. Rumor has it that they were already married before in an arranged marriage, and now they want to renew their vows and hold a proper wedding. Oh! Here comes the bride.” They immediately turned their attention and cameras to the approaching vehicles. The cars stopped in front, and all the bridesmaids—three in total—descended from the Bentley, each
LEONARD’S POV CONT. “Have it your way then.” He pulled the trigger and everything happened so fast that the next thing I knew was seeing Derrick on the floor with blood coming out of his stomach and mouth and the man being apprehended. “DERRICK!.” I yelled running to him, I squatted on the floor and held his hand. “You will be fine,” I said and turned to the soldiers. “Lift him, gently.” The two soldiers held Derrick gently as we walked to the helicopter. “Hurry up.” I yelled at the soldiers as they carried Derrick into the helicopter and as soon as Dad saw us he gasped. “What happened?” He asked worriedly, I shook my head before walking in still carrying Diana who had fainted. “Let’s go.” The captain yelled closing the door and the pilot nodded, I turned to see King Charles holding Derrick’s hands whispering words to him. *he’s going to be fine* I thought as the helicopter took off. FAST FORWARD I was pacing up and down in the hospital hallway impatiently,
UNKNOWN POV I sat on my chair with my hands on my hair, how could I let this happen? Shit! I hit the table angrily and breathed out. The sound of a phone ringing blared in the room, he’s calling. I picked the phone up from the table before answering. “Boss,” I called in a fearful tone. “I want to assume you have taken care of it ya.” his cold voice asked from the other side of the line and I gulped down nothing. “I... I’ve gotten it but there is a slight problem.”I stuttered holding my hair tightly, the line was silent for a while before he spoke up. “What problem?” he asked. “There..... is...... no.......... some..one.”I stuttered, I couldn’t form a single word correctly. “Shut the fuck up Michael, you better get the fucking job done before the end of today or else, ya know what’s gonna happen to ya son huh?” he said calmly. I know he was snickering at the other side and I gulped nothing down again. “Yes boss.” he hung up and I threw the phone on the floor and w
