Chapter 2
Asim's pov
"Oh my gosh , what happened to your shirt , did that crazy lady do that?" Akira said, shocked by how I looked .
We were on our date to tour the city ,after I got to the palace we embraced each other and I was really happy ,mom and dad too were happy .
Mom actually suggested we go on a tour , showing Akira the place we are gonna rule together , and she who is a big fan of ice cream made me stop to get some at this local area ,I felt disgusted stepping out of my car to this place ,it's civilized but not to my taste and i am gonna do something about it for sure.
"This is your fault ," I scoffed , getting into the car , cleaning my shirt with some tissues.
"How ,I didn't know crazy people exist , and I told you to take some guards along but you refused ,she argued, making me roll my eyes.
One thing about Akira ,she hates being proved wrong , and I putting up with that because I love her ,I mean who wouldn't love the world most famous model and complex brand owner , Akira Lynette future Mrs Berlin and future of Alexandria,I smiled at my thoughts staring at her ,I can't seem to ever stop loving this lady.
"Why are you smiling?"she asked, making a cute, curious face .
"Because of your pretty face , your amazing oval round face , beautiful pink lips , and those lovely brown eyes that I can't seem to get over , and how can I forget your beautiful endowed body ,I am really lucky ," I chanted and she laughed cutely.
"Awwww ,all this praises for me ,I love you Asim ,you are the best boyfriend ever, can't wait to be your wife ," she smiled at me and held my hand .
"I love you too Akira , and I also can't wait to be your husband.
"We should get you changed , how about we head back to the palace and get you something better to wear ,then we can go back on our tour , " Akira suggested.
"That's a great idea ,thanks babe ,I think we should take this route. It's faster to the palace ," I said , starting the car before we drove off.

"Why did you pour dirty water on me ",the crazy girl's words kept reminiscing in my head .
I chuckled, her accent is funny and kinda cute , and her bad English almost made me go cranky ,but I had to maintain myself.
The prince can't go on laughing at some random stranger , it's a good thing a lot of people didn't notice me because of my headband,or that girl would have been dead.
I took one last look at the mirror ,I kinda regret not having new clothes at the palace , maybe I will go for shopping because this ,old black baggy pants and purple royal lacy shirt makes me look like one of dad's personal guards ,I used to dress like this when I was naive ,mom said all royalties are expected to dress that way but I changed that ,I only wear royal attire when there's a meeting with the council ,or when there's a royal party ,they suggest I keep them for those times.
But on other days ,I get to wear what I want , like going to the office. I wear suits and the like and regular outfits. I just wear my favorite brands' latest fashion clothes .
Not only Akira is a model , I am one too ,I model for up to 50 brand companies and Akira well just 30 ,but when she's married to me things are gonna change for her ,she will model all my brand while I focus on my father's company and mine too after all I am a genius .
Suddenly the door to my room opened and Khalid, my best friend and personal assistant, walked in.
"Sup Kal ," I said , smoothing my hair.
"My prince .....
"Oh cut it out Khalid,we are alone, quite that ," I said and went back to what I was doing.
He sighs and laughs"sorry ASIM ,he said stretching my name.
"What's up ,I thought you were at the office," I asked.
"Yeah , but I got a call from mom ,he actually called my mother, he's mom.
"What about it ...
"You returned a maid today and she was confirmed raped by you ,why ?
"I didn't rape her ,my guards did and she was being disrespectful oh and she refused to obey my number one rule ,I shrugged.
"Asim, you have to change that rule ,you are getting married soon .
"Kal I am going to be a king so I can have any woman I want .
"But you said that's old fashioned.
"Yes, that's why I made that rule. Instead of having many brides and concubines I can just have a one night stand with them and that's it .
"And is Akira in support of it ?
"No !
She doesn't know yet.
"Then ask her about it before you continue with this madness ,oh and mom wants you to pick a maid for yourself , she's gonna be busy from now on , because of your wedding ,I need to head back to the office , enjoy your date and try talking to Akira ,see you later, Khalid said before he left me with my thoughts.
Should I really stop all this for Akira ,if I don't accept it ,well I will try my best .
I got out of the room , and went downstairs to search for Akira so we could leave.I was in a hurry and didn't see where I was going , accidentally bumping into someone ,a lady .
She almost fell but I was quick to save her. Before she could hit the floor ,her hair was scattered in her face. When I placed her upright, I could now see her face .
And behold it was the crazy lady from earlier that spilled ice cream on me .

Naunet's pov
"I can see ,I am becoming lenient with you Nanuet , madame Kabira complained .
Madame Kabira is the chief maid of the palace and also the oldest. That's why she can boss me around. She's also the one who hired me so I owe her a lot of respect.
"Sorry madame ,I don't know what you mean,I gulped.
"Oh ,I forgot how dumb you are.I meant to say you are not taking your job seriously , what's wrong with you?"she asked, giving me a scary look.
I bowed my head not wanting to look at her ,her eyes right now could end my life.
"Sorry madame ,too much work for me , problem at work ,sorry madame ,I struggled with my words .
English is hard, guys .
"Keep your sorry to yourself ,get to work , princess Akira arrived today and you were supposed to serve her but no because of your late coming someone else had to do it , listen Naunet if this repeats itself again don't bother coming here , leave ,she said tilting her head towards the kitchen entrance ,I quickly ran into it .
"Hi Nanuet ,I see you are quite early today ,Patalekah my worst nightmare at the palace, came forward to me with her stupid minions .
" Patale lays ladaya waqt min 'ajl harayik , 'ana mashghul hqan , lidha yurjaa aliaibtiead (Patale ,I don't have time for your nonsense so please stay clear I am really busy) I said not even spearing her a glance I don't want to embarrass myself with English.
"My name is Patalekah,you idiot and why can't you speak in English ,oh wait I think I know why because you are dumb ,she mocked me and her two stupid friends laughed .
I kept shut, not knowing what to say.If I speak English they are surely going to make more fun of me. It's better I face my work and leave,these idiots can go to hell for all I care .
"alkalbat alghabia,(stupid bitches),I muttered under my breath.
"Who the hell are you talking to in that manner you fool , " Patalekah said, staring at me scornfully .
I hissed a brush past her while walking out of the kitchen.I need to clean the dining room before lunch time. Only God knows how hard it was for me not to hit their stupid faces ,but If I do that I would lose my job.
I couldn't concentrate on where I was going and accidentally bumped into some which made me almost lose my balance but luckily I was caught.
My hair scattered around my face ,I stood straight and arranged it ,I looked up to see who had caught me and it was that stupid driver that destroyed my dress which I had to change, making me extra late to work.
"You again ,what do you want?"I asked annoyedly, arranging my hair properly. He's even a guard at the palace.I hope I don't see him again anytime soon.
He didn't say anything, rather he kept looking at me weirdly ,he suddenly pulled me into a Corner pinning me to the wall .
"So we meet again ,dumb brain ," he said and laughed, making me boil in anger ,how dare he.
"Idiot my name is Naunet , not dumb brain ," I said standing my ground even though I was a little scared. His height is intimidating coupled with my small stature.
"Hmmm,I presume you don't know me ," he said , staring intensely at me .
"Who cares?"I replied shortly, not able to form something to say.I couldn't talk to him in my language now ,he would mock me like everybody does.
"Soon you will ,but for now I will let you go with a pretty dumb brain," he teased me and smirked. He took his eyes from my face down to my legs. They were kind of exposed due to our position but the dress is pretty long. Trust me,I hate revealing clothes.
"What ?
I was confused with the look he was giving me .
"Wow your legs are beautiful ,how much do you charge men ," he said and suddenly grabbed my butt making me mad .
I slapped him hard across the face and pushed him away from me.I didn't care at that moment how to express myself ,I just couldn't take it ,no one has ever touched me that way before.
"kayf tajruiyn ealaa lamsi 'ayuha al'ahmaq , 'ala tahtarim karamat almar'at , kayf tajru , 'ant waquh waghabiun jdan(How dare you touch me you fool , don't you have respect for women's dignity ,how dare you ,you are so shameless and stupid ),I yelled angrily at him breathing really hard ,I couldn't stare at his face any longer he made me sick ,I left that place in a hurry , and ran into the store room,I felt really teary and needed to let it out .....
Epilogue Akira's pov I opened my eyes to come in contact with a blurry vision ,I blinked twice before it went back to normal .I stared around and remembered I was at the hospital , I had just given birth hours ago and I went into deep slumber .My whole body felt sour and weak ,I didn't know child bearing was that painful ,I almost went crazy because of the pain I was feeling ."Oh ma'am you are awake ,I heard someone say and I turned to see a nurse standing close to a baby crib ,with my baby in her hands."My baby ,I whispered weakly stretching my hands towards her ,she smiled and handed him to me ."I will get the doctor ,since you are now awake, and the princess also ,she has been eager to see you ,she said leaving me confused and scared, she walked out without another word.*Why does Naunet want to see me ,is she here to take my son away from me ? *I will never be able to see him again , because of my foolishness.Tears left my weak eyes as I stared at his calm
Chapter 60 Naunet's pov "Where did they go, what did you do ,now I know you are not human ,you are a witch too ,get them back here or else the king dies , " Akira threatened ."Akira what the hell is wrong with you ,what have you become , " Asim asked."You are asking me what's wrong ,I will tell you what's wrong , after everything we shared Asim you went ahead to marry this pest immediately I disappeared and you claimed to love me ,is that what you call love ,she said trying to play the *it's not my fault card*."You of all people knew I loved you ,I did everything for you but how did you repay me ,oh yes by sleeping with my best friend ,you betrayed me for what reason , what did he have that I didn't ,I was better in every way ,I guess you were just too blind to see that ."You never loved me Asim ,if you did you wouldn't have gone running around with everything on your skirt ..."But you never believed I could change ,you never tried to make me change ,you t
Chapter 59 Luisa's Pov "I feel restless Akila , today seems to be kind of odd ," I said to Akila as I arranged my bed."Me too and I cannot foresee what wants to happen , we have to be extra careful today and very vigilant. Who knows today might be the day Akira tries to kidnap the king ," she said and I couldn't help but think about it ."So what do you suggest we do now ," I asked restlessly."We should split up ,I would watch over the king and make sure he is safe, while you watch over the queen ," she suggested."Are you sure it would work out just fine , " I asked , feeling scared ."We have to give it a shot , don't be afraid nothing wrong will happen ." I don't really know if I can believe that right now ,this feeling is intense ,I have never been this restless in my life before Akila ," I said , pacing around in panic."Put yourself together Luisa ,no matter what the danger out there is we will overcome it ,cheer up and try being the brave woman I know ," sh
Chapter 58 Naunet's pov "When is she going to wake up ,I heard a voice that sounded like my mother's."Soon maybe , " another voice replied."Isn't it taking too long?I heard Asim's voice and my heart started beating really fast. Is he really alive?I thought he died and left me alone .Or maybe it's just my imagination."Calm down Asim , she's going to wake up soon ,she got really exhausted, that's what happened , she's fine .He is really alive, it's not my imagination , thank goodness.I heard giggles from a baby ,my baby ,my son ,I hadn't held him or even fed him like mother's do .I am now a mother ,I couldn't help but smile inwardly ,why was I still wasting time ,I want to hold him now .I slowly opened my eyes and met so many worried faces but I didn't find Asim in any of them ." Asim ,I called trying to get up from the bed but they all stopped me ."He's right over there ,mom pointed behind queen Cora,she moved away and I saw Asim and my baby , he got up immed
Chapter 57 Akira's pov "Get out and don't come back here until my demands are met ," I yelled at the incompetent maid that scurried out immediately.I have been so grumpy lately ,this pregnancy is taking a toll on me ,my stomach is huge and I am now really fat. It's so annoying. A perfect model like me with such a huge bump and plumpy body ,it's disgusting,I hate the sight of myself."My lady ,urm Macdonald's is closed please you have to wait till it's morning we promise to get your meals for you ,Jane the stupid head maid said getting me unimaginably angry.I picked up the small vase near me and threw it at her ,she screamed, dodging it off and moving far away from me ."If you idiots don't get my meals , everyone will pay for it ,I promise you that ," I yelled angrily."Yes my lady ," she said, making my blood boil.I took off my slippers and threw it at her even though I knew it wouldn't get to her ."I am the queen here,why is it so hard for you all to get that ,
Chapter 56 Clara's pov I cried bitterly, staring at Asim's cold body. He was already healed but it was too late. He didn't wake up .He was dead and gone all because of my stupidity. If only I never went to Finn ,he wouldn't have gotten hurt .I felt more pain because ,not only Asim died but the princess , their souls were bound together , and they were likely to share the same life. I just made a poor child an orphan because of my greed.I felt really guilty and heartbroken.Everyone was staring at me with anger in theirs eyes , mostly Tamara ,she would have done something to me and Finn but my mother held her still by placing the baby in her care ,I felt ashamed of myself,I couldn't even look at my mother in the eye ,but I knew she was highly disappointed in me ,if only they didn't arrive with me I would have killed Finn myself because he deserved it ,I was no different and I was also ready for my punishment."Am sorry ,I appologized for the uptenth time ,but got no respon
Chapter 55 Finn's pov "Come on give me that last push Naunet I believe in you," Asim said to Naunet who was in tears ,pain clearly written on her face .It angered me so much, she's in pain because of him and he's going to pay for it, for making her cry this much I will end him.I searched around but couldn't find Clara ,she was supposed to be here with me now that we had the opportunity to get rid of that baby .But I am capable of doing it myself , she's going to regret not being here to assist me .I came out from where I hid myself ,they both looked surprised to see me , Naunet frowned deeply and Asim noticed it."Please my wife and I need some privacy ," he said and I scoffed ."You should be the one to leave , because she belongs to me ,I said and he stood up in amusement."Excuse me , what's that supposed to mean?"I am not joking around,so leave while you still have the chance to ."Don't play stupid pranks here ,my wife is in labor and we need our privacy so pleas
Chapter 54 Naunet's pov "Arrrrrg ” I yelped, feeling so much pain .My body ached badly , and the pain I was feeling was unbearable. Asim tried so hard to comfort me but it wasn't working,I just wanted the baby out of me ,I was getting wild in pain hitting him continuously ."Please Naunet , we have to do this on our own , remember the world will be saved , and we will have our child that we have longed for ,he will call you mother and me father , but only for if you push him out Naunet ,are you ready ,he asked and I groaned in pain ."Yes please I am ready just get him out of me ,I cried helplessly."Alright give me your best push ,you are the strongest woman I know so make me proud ,push really hard ,he said and I gave into his words and pushed so hard ,I felt my core tearing open as something moved out a bit .Asim smiled and kissed me ,"you are doing great Naunet give me one more , just one more push and make me the happiest man in the world ,he said and I n
Chapter 53 Naunet's pov I sat on my bed feeling really heavy and tired .Tamara had stepped out to get me some fruits and Asim wasn't back from the forest with the children .That has been his daily routine , taking the children out to the forest and spending time with them.I could tell that he was training to become a great father to our son , and I couldn't be more proud.I placed my hand on my bump, caressing it softly and thinking about what my child was going to look like ,me or Asim or both ,it would be amazing ."Aunt Nanuet ,I heard my name close by and it was Tyler's voice .He suddenly ran into my tent ,with sweat all over his face and he was panicking ,soon the other children all started trooping in with faces that made my heart beat faster than normal .I searched around but didn't find Asim and I gulped nervously sweat forming on my head ."Aunt Naunet it's uncle Asim , he's in the forest , he's dying ,he got beaten by a snake , Tyler said breathing heavily
