[Few hours later]

Dinner ended as Kayden returned upstairs, while Beatrice and Monalisa were discussing in the living room as she narrated all she went through after her parents death, how she gave birth to Alora and why she was in an awkward situation with Barry.

The kids excused themselves as they couldn't join in the adult conversation.

Alora sat at the balcony as the wind blew her hair, she looked around trying to breathe fresh air.

Dante cleared his throat to get her attention and she noticed he was holding two glasses of orange juice.

"I also ordered pizza, it should be here any minute". He said while Alora smiled

"Who would have guessed that you are the richest in our school , your parents are the renowned Kings. Dante Kings, why didn't I guess that when I heard your last name". She asked

"I'm not that open, so no one guessed I'd be related to the Kings. Besides, I loved it that way". Dante smiled and said.

"I love your dress, don't think I've ever seen you in one". He compli

    [Evening, Monalisa's mansion]Karen plans to stay over so that they can read for their tests and Alora is already regretting why she agreed because, she's still pestering her to find out why she decided to come to school, why she's suddenly acting normal few days after her mom's death and why she's suddenly giving the cold vibes to everyone."I'm not hiding anything,Karen. I've gotten over my mom's death, I've cried enough so it's time I move on with my life" Alora shrugged, Karen was still not satisfied."I can't believe that, I know you, Alora. Do you know what you looked like when your mom was kidnapped? And you're expecting me to believe that you're fine now that she's dead. I've known you for years, girl. I'm not buying that". Karen said, Alora sighed, she quickly thought of a way to distract Karen so that they would forget the topic, luckily she found a reason.They were walking around the compound and she's been noticing that there are a lot of maids but there isn't much work.

    Zoey bustled around the house, directing the maids as they cleaned and prepared breakfast. She felt a sense of satisfaction, enjoying the power and authority that came with Monalisa's passing. Marcus arrived shortly, as he usually did, to feed Alora before heading to his office. Zoey's face lit up when she saw him, her mind went into fantasy land, where Marcus is her lover.Marcus approached her, flashing a smile but she was lost daydreaming to even notice his presence. "Zoey!" He called out, jerking her back to reality."Are you alright?" Marcus asked, out of concern as he placed a hand on her forehead, Zoey felt a flutter in her chest, as she struggled to compose herself."Yeah, it's just stress." She lied, chuckling awkwardly.Marcus returned his hands to his trouser pocket, his expression neutral. Zoey smiled, trying to regain composure. " Breakfast is ready, Bacon and eggs are today's treat.""Okay, I'll go call Alora." Marcus said, heading towards the stairs. However, he pause

    [Kings Mansion]Marcus sat at the dining table, going through his laptop to search for things that could cheer a teenage girl up, no one else was in his mind apart from Alora. Did he cry when he heard of Monalisa's death?---more than required. Did he think of committing suicide?-- immediately but why is he still alive? Because her daughter is alive, he has buried his anger and all the things he planned to do to himself for not watching her very closely and letting a kidnapping happen under his nose. He blames himself greatly and to make up for it, Alora has to be his responsibility. He has seen enough from Barry, that man can't possibly look after Alora.It's now his duty to make Alora happy, help her grow till she's independent. He fancies no other woman apart from her.Even his mom doesn't understand how deeply invested he is into Monalisa.Speaking of his mom, Polaria. She came downstairs, making her way to the kitchen when she decided to peep at what Marcus was doing. She smil

    [Zoey's room]Words can't describe how Monalisa's absence feels like a good thing to Zoey. When they returned to New York, she hired all the maids Monalisa sent away with the excuse of still being in shock due to the accident and she has been living like a queen while Alora didn't bother. Alora rarely steps out of her room to know what's happening around her.She just had dinner, watching one of the maids clear the plates in her room. She locked the door immediately after the maid left, picking up her phone to dial a number, Stacia's number."Your royal highness". Stacia laughed and called out, making her giggle."Oh please..." Zoey fanned herself dramatically, cracking Stacia more."Kidnapping Monalisa is the best decision you've ever made, like... should have done this years ago, I feel so free". Zoey laid on her bed happily. "You're finally happy, that's good," Stacia smiled."What about you? How do you plan to get back at Barry?"she asked,Stacia smirked."Slow and steady dear, I

    [Nashville City hospital]Barry sat with his head bent, and he tapped his feet worriedly, as he held Alora's hand. She was still unconscious on the bed, though the doctor assured him that she should be up soon.He muttered words, trying to calm himself. Seeing her in such a state is something he had never imagined."Wake up princess, please..." He begged but got no response, he wiped his tears, as he felt a slight movement, his eyes widened. Slowly, Alora opened her eyes, scanning the room and trying to recall how she got there. Then it dawned on her.There was an accident! The car drove towards a tree. Before she lost consciousness,"Mom! Where's my mom?" She asked, trying to get up, but the pains held her down, Barry quickly helped her."You're not strong yet, just lay on your back for now" he said, she still asked."Where's Zoey? My mom too?"A nurse walked in immediately, "Miss Alora, you're awake." She smiled and said."You're a strong girl, don't worry you didn't sustain any ma

She nodded in agreement.Alora looked outside with admiration, already missing Nashville but she misses her friends too, so she has to leave. Her education is also important too."You told Marcus that we are heading to the airport?" Monalisa asked."Yeah, he promised to come pick us," she smiled and said ."We could have called an Uber" Monalisa said, Alora giggled."Mom, just say thank you, I know you are happy about meeting him". She teased, Monalisa rolled her eyes."Don't know what you are talking about" Monalisa denied, Alora couldn't control herself, she laughed hard but stopped, as continued looking outside through window."What a lovely day" she smiled."I know right". Monalisa agreed.As if nature wanted to prove t
