06 // UNINVITED
Lizzy could not keep her mouth shut when she arrived at the palace, she blabbed away to her colleagues about how she would be joining Azania and her mother for dinner with Azania's doctor boyfriend. Come noon, not only had the news reached Queen Shekinah, but Prince Lincoln as well, and before she knew it, Lizzy was barred from leaving the palace that evening.
I know that I'm usually petty, but that was not by any means the reason I missed all of Lizzy's phone calls until it was far too long. I had not touched my phone since my mother saw it fit to invite Alex over for dinner, and I didn't care to find out where she had put it afterwards. As soon as Lizzy left, my mother started preparing the menu, while I only joined her later to help with the cooking. It felt like being back at the palace, where I prepared everything the doctor had ordered me never to eat again. My mother went all out for Alex, and she was willing to forget about “our” diet for the day, claimRelated chapters
The King's Destined Love 07 // SOMETHING ABOUT THE EARTH
The nightmares resurfaced, again. I can’t remember the last I felt my heart beating so slow, it felt as though any second now it would stop. We did not sleep at all, my mother’s face had gained a few wrinkles, I could tell that she was worried about me and was dying to ask me what was wrong.I think she blamed herself, she kept apologizing all night and saying that none of this would have happened had she not insisted on the dinner. I had to escape from home because she would not let me out of her sight.After promising to accompany Lizzy to the farm and that I would be there on time, there was no way I could disappoint her now, although I was strolling from the moment I left home. My mother had been too distracted with having a bath, she would be frantic when she finished and found me gone.I needed a distraction, I needed to keep my mind busy so that I didn’t think about all those events. I could not believe Alex let my secret slip, w
The King's Destined Love 08 // FIRM GROUND
You’d swear the ice queen always knows when her daughter is with me. Not long after we arrived at the cemetery, Gladys called Samu and ordered her to come home immediately. We walked back to the farm in complete silence, as if we had not been chatting freely a second ago. The farmers were still busy and Lizzy seemed to have found her footing since she did not notice when I returned. Sam was standing next to the car, judging by the stoic look on his face, Gladys had given him an earful for allowing her precious daughter to leave with me unguarded. “My Princess.” He bowed and opened the door for her. I walked around the car and climbed into the front passenger seat. “Are you coming too?” Samu asked. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Yeah, I have a meeting with Queen Shekinah.” Sam hopped in and started the car. “Azania, I thought you were
The King's Destined Love 09 // FIX YOUR CROWN
“To go to work or not to go to work. To go to work or not to go to work,” I sang, bouncing the tennis ball against the wall.I was preparing myself to catch the ball when a hand swept in front of me and caught the ball.“That's enough, now.” My mother stuffed the ball in her apron before turning her eyes on me with her arms folded. “What's the matter with you? You've been acting strange since you returned from the farm.”“It's nothing,” I lied. “I just have a headache.”She scoffed. “Really? And does that headache have a name?”“No!”She raised a knowing eyebrow. “Is it Alex?”If my eyes could get any bigger, they were sure to tear out. “No! Wait… what? Alex? Why would you even think of him? I haven't spoken to him since the dinner.”“When's your next appointment?” She asked.I relaxed, kind of grateful for the change of subject. “In two weeks. Why?”“Nothing. Anyway, take c
The King's Destined Love 10 // MAID-TO-BE
My day started on a good note, it was weird because for some reason, I seemed to be the only person who woke up in a good mood. I was actually excited to be returning to work, but most especially, I had butterflies in my stomach just at the mere thought of seeing Lincoln. I knew I could not get any closer to him or act out of character, but seeing him even from a distance was more than enough for me for today.Like I said before, I was not a morning person, but this morning was quite different, and that worried me. I usually ignored people when they greeted me on my way to work, but today I was doing the greeting and getting ignored. The lady who sold bread was not around today, I made a mental note to make the dough before starting with everything else. “Azania?”I skipped, placing my hand on my chest as I turned around to face Lizzy.“Lizzy, hey,” I greeted while putting on my apron.“It is
The King's Destined Love 11 // WHEN IT HURTS
I think I spoke too soon, much too soon.The day was slowly becoming disastrous, Lizzy and I were preparing lunch when I remembered that we had a new maid, and she was supposed to be helping out. Three hours had gone by since I sent her upstairs. “Lizzy, please keep an eye on things here while I check on the newbie upstairs.”I would rather not tell her that Mandy knew absolutely nothing about housework, I still had to find out what she was doing here to begin with.I hung up my apron and rushed upstairs, and to say I was horrified would be an understatement. Mandy hadn't done a thing, the rooms in the west wing were still not cleaned, and she was not even there. I searched every single room until I found her in Samu's room in the east wing.“Mandy, what the hell are you doing?” I shrieked the moment my eyes fell on her.She was wearing Samu's clothes and was busy applying makeup at the vanity mirror. “What does it look like I'm doing?” She dared to ask, glancing
The King's Destined Love 12 // MUTUALITY
Lincoln is an idiot.That's what I kept telling myself after crying a river because of him. He was an idiot for thinking that I could ever date Alex. I mean, not that there was anything wrong with Alex, I just did not see him that way. Alex was like the brother I never had.But in this case, I was the biggest idiot because every time Lincoln hurt me, I told myself that it would be the very last time. Joke's on me. I don't understand why Lincoln was so insecure around Alex when the man was so sweet and harmless.Speaking of Alex, I had the right mind to call him and cancel, but my mother snatched my phone.I was just not in a great mood. I have been grumpy since I got home. My mother kept throwing me disapproving looks, especially because of my outfit. “Azania, I get that you are indoors, but could you at least wear something warmer and more… appropriate?” She finally said out of exasperation.
The King's Destined Love 13 // MADE FOR YOU
“Are you sure don't want me to walk you in?” Lincoln asked when he pulled up outside my house where Alex was standing at the gate while my mother was sitting at our front door.I'm afraid, I was not as confident as I was when I grappled him into another round earlier.I shook my head as I reached for the door handle. “No, you will only make matters worse,” I said tentatively.Lincoln did not even feel the slightest of regret, me on the other hand? My stomach was as hard as clay, and I was literally shaking in my boots. It did not help that Lincoln had done me to the point of semi paralysis, I couldn't move or walk without making it obvious what exactly I'd been up to.“Hey.” He gently took my hand, and he met me with a tender kiss as soon as I turned in his direction. “You will be fine.”Thank goodness his windows were tinted, otherwise my mother would have buried us both alive. I climbed out of the car and sucked
The King's Destined Love 14 // STRANGERS ALIKE
Lizzy and I managed to prepare everything on time; however, I was late.It was already 6p.m. and Lizzy and the others were already welcoming guests. Samu and Lydia had just arrived and went to their separate rooms to get ready.I still needed to bathe, and I didn't even know what I was going to do with my hair. There was no way Lizzy could help me because she was busy, she might as well be working for the both of us tonight.I rushed to Samu's room to get the gift Lincoln gave me. “Azania!” I am startled by Samu's shrilling voice. “I was about to send for you. Why aren't you ready yet?” She asked and pulled me farther into the room. I let out a shaky breath, I was such a panicking mess. “Maybe I shouldn't attend your party, we are short-staffed anyway.” I blurted out.Samu's eyes widened, making the thick and long artificial lashes and dark makeup around her eyes to pop. “Where is this coming from?”“It's
