Williams had a warm bath in the tub. He closed his eyes and remembered all the things he did and all that happened to him while he was having fun in the environs of England. He knew he had no problem getting all he had lost. But the fact that he had been robbed of his wealth in the first place by some mere commoners was infuriating to him. He even had to lose almost a week in the hospital. About an hour later, he stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel round his waist. The cleaned his hair with another towel and walked back into his bedroom. The door to his room opened and William wondered who had the audacity to come into his ro except his father and may Samantha...or Felix. Felix!Felix walked into William's room in his nightwear. “Couldn't you at least knock?” Willing scolded dryly, drying his hair out with a hair dryer. Felix continued smiling like he had done nothing wrong. He sat one one of the couches and crossed his leg on the table. William ignored him and continued
The very next morning after Felix woke up, he sat up in bed wondering exactly why his life was as hard as it got. If there was anything he could do to change his fate, Felix was sure he would do it immediately, without thinking about the consequences. He wanted his brother back. He wanted his parents back and he sure as help wanted his only sister back to him.Talking with his brother last night had made him reconsider about what their lives truly had meant. As hers to the royal thrones, it seemed to Felix like even before their birth, their fate had been sealed to be at competition with each other. Then the nurses and midwives that had suddenly in their birth had only helped to escalate their unfirtunate fates. The fate of having to be at war with his twin brother every minutes of his life. No, scratch that. He meant everything second.He blamed his father and his mother. Why did they have to be royals? Why can't they just be like every other normal 9 to 5 jobber person who walked t
After his father had left him in the dining room, Felix had stood still for more than ten minutes, thinking if he had made the best decisions that were required of him. When he had been thinking about stepping down from the competition, he hadn't thought much about the consequences of his actions. Truly, he had thought about how his actions would bring forth disadvantages to him and he had thought that he would be okay about everything. But when his father had been lecturing him again, Felix had taught about the words the older man had spoken and nearly groaned after his father had gone. After he thought about it and even thought about it again, he shrugged and turned away from the dining room. When one of the servants had asked him what he wanted for breakfast and where he would like to be served, Felix had told the maid not to worry about him. All he wanted right now wasn't for but how to be alone with his thoughts at a place he knew that no one would be able to disturb him one bit
Lu paced about the cell room she was in with worries. She was worried about Sir John not coming over to see her yet or even finding a way to bail her out of the mess she was in. By right, the man or one of his crimes should have bailed her out the very next day after she had gotten arrested by the police but none of them had shown up at all. Not even a single one of them had appeared before her eyes to tell her about how her release would go along.She was also worried about who could have snitched on her to the prince. If she had known that he was the prince, perhaps, she would not have done the things that she did. Which brought her to another worrying question of why sir John had lied to her about that true identity of the man but much as she thought about it, she couldn't find an answer to the question that was bugging her mind.She sat down on the bare door as her thoughts began to process the little information she had accidentally heard from the guards about Felix. She had heard
"Hey, boy. Come and get daddy a cigarette from one of the policemen you usually get it from, will you?" One of the men in the prison cell said to the young boy that Lu thought looked like Felix. Lu watched as the young man opened the door to the next cell room and none of the police on duty ssir anything. Corrupted bujch if people, she thought and shook her head. She knew that if it was one of the lower class prisoner like herself that had committed such an atrocity, they would have screamed their intestines out on her. But no, they wouldn't say a word now because the big shots were involved. The big shots were people who were influential that had been caught in cases that they couldn't get out from. They were the big big folks that even Lu in all her career years feared. The young ones among them were the generation of what she could refer to as the future of the country since their fathers or mothers were men of high status.These types of big folks, even though they were prisoner
Lu walked in the passage of the prison, her face scrunched up in annoyance. She had just woken up in that rotten prison that contained a lot of messed up human beings and some psychotic ones also without anyone visiting her. The images of the people in it continued to appear in her brains. While some of them were found guilty in the prison, some of them were not making her heart clench in pain. She met a young boy that won’t pass the age of fifteen in the prison, running errands for the big men in the prison and it had broken her heart. His hair was the same color Felix was making her find him attractive.She slumped into the chair, closing her eyes as she relaxed her muscles. She had no idea she would be visited today and was just happy that she has been remembered after all this while. The image of the boy appeared again in her head, while he was begging her to please help him.“I don’t know anything about it. They just came into my house and said I did it.” The boy said.“What did
“What? How did the prince find out what?” Lu repeated.“Stop faking it Lu. The prince already knows who you are. How did he know? Why the hell did you have to tell him?” Sir John half yelled at her.Lu was shocked and that’s when everything clicked to her. The main reason why Sir John had not processed her bail was because he knew already and he was angry at her for allowing him to know. But she had no idea how he knew anything of this at all. “You can’t blame me for that.” Lu said after some minutes.“Then who should we blame? Who did I give the damn mission to? I remember giving it to you because you seemed fit to do it. But who knew you were just going to mess it all up for me.” Sir John said, his veins popping on his forehead.He was angry at her. Angry was an understatement. If he had other words to describe how he was feeling right now,he would have used it. He did not expect Lu to betray him his way. He had trusted her, gave her all she wanted, given her the biggest mission an
“Wow. So wow.” Rich said from the side.“Betrayal, Lu how do you feel about this? Khalil can’t do it. He’s just taking my side. Wow. Well, don’t trust anyone darling.” Rich mocked her.“I’m surprised Lu. I’m really surprised. Khalil going to your back and snitch about you. Intriguing.” Rich said, scoffing and mocking Lu.“Keep quiet.” Sir John said without looking at him.Lu felt all color drain from her face, a part of her already left her as she heard it. She could not believe her ears. Khalil! Khalil was the snitch. Her heart clenched tightly against her chest as his voice resounded in her ear again. Why would he do something like that to her? Why? She trusted him. He was her friend but why?“Why?” Lu said faintly.She raised her head to meet Khalil's eyes.“Why did you do it? Tell me Why?” She yelled at him.“I did it because I wanted to. Did you take me as a fool Lu?” Khalil said to her.“We were friends. Khalil, I treated you well like my friend. Why did you go behind me to tell
