Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Majesty : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

After the little but yet not little encounter I had with my boss today, I drag myself to the cafe that was directly opposite the office to meet Dae, my roommate turned best friend for lunch. I met Dae when I first got a job in New York. I didn’t have anywhere to stay and she offered me one when we were introduced to each other by a mutual friend.We’ve also had our own fair share of crazy stuffs like the one you wrote down and call bucket list, yeah, we’re currently on that one too. But now that I’ve been fired from work, I guess I should start looking for work rather that trying to fulfill bucket list wishes.“Girlfriend, what's next on our bucket list?” I'm seated in the restaurant directly opposite my office and all the while I've been staring at the skyscraper that is too weird to go back into.Dae, my best friend of three years was sitting next to me holding her tablet while ticking off the goals we've managed to attain these past few weeks.We started the bucket list two months b

Vanessa’s POV¶ They tell me everybody’s fifty minutes in a different time zone.And since I had it at the moment, you're the one I wanna shine my light one…….¶…..I like you girl in particular¶Dae kept on singing on and on to the music playing on her phone while the events of yesterday kept on playing in my head. It's just morning and my boss will be here anytime soon. I just want to fade away and never come back.“Can you just shut up for five minutes and let the Major Lazer music rest?” I screamed at her.“You can't pass aggression at me just because things are not working out fine. Moreover, I didn’t ask for you to be in that position ” she replied while she switched off the music.“You're my best friend, you should share in my sorrow and pain” I feigned crying and expected her to come and console me but no, the girl kept glaring at me as if I just wished her grandparents dead.“What stupid sorrow are you even talking about?, just because your boss asked you to be his girlfriend f

Vanessa's POV“Love is not a word in my son's dictionary, so don't give me that part my dear one” his mom said while keeping an angry look on her son.The whole energy I got ever since we arrived here is all mostly negative and the positive ones only came from Richard’s father. The Arab king and that has totally made me realize the more trouble I've gotten myself into.By tomorrow, I'm very sure more than 30 people will be after my story, wanting to know if I'm fit for the throne not knowing I was forced into this pile of shit. Richard’s mom is not making the issue easy for me, maybe she thinks I’m one of those gold diggers who would probably be after their wealth.I looked over at the mother with a forced smile and lay under my breath.“I don't know what you're talking about, but I love Richard a lot” with all the glares coming from most people at that table, the fear was starting to creep in. These people are too powerful for my type of person. I've always avoided this type of cliqu

Vanessa’s POV“Good morning” I greeted her royal highness immediately I was taken to the room where she was.I woke up this morning with a negative feeling and anytime I feel that way, things never go right. As I was trying to decipher where the feeling could be coming from, I got a call from her royal highness, Richard’s mother, to see her at the Italian restaurant I’ve always dreamed of going to.As I stepped into the heavenly restaurant, I was welcomed by one of their staff who asked if I had a reservation or an appointment, after confirming the latter, I was taken into the room where she sat in all her glory away from the noise and issues of the world, I guess.I still don’t know the reason why I’m here but I don’t think it’s about the surrogate matter, it can’t possibly be.“Good morning” I greeted the second time trying to get her attention from the magazine she was reading and I was ignored, after standing for what seemed like five minutes, she finally looked up from the magazin

Richard's POV I had gone to the club to see a friend on that Friday night after a hectic day at work, the club was really lit and I could say my friend did himself real good, even the lights were amazing too.After finding a spot to seat and wait for my friend, I saw two girls walking into the club and one of them looked like Vanessa. It can't be her, she's not the club type. I told myself and withdraw my attention from it.I was about to leave the club after one of his workers informed me that he'll not be coming today and having enjoyed the scenes that unfolded before me during the last few minutes when I realized that the girl looked a lot like Vanessa, especially the Vanessa that went with me to the party and not Vanessa, the secretary.What the hell is going on?I brought out my phone from my pocket and decided to call her just to confirm if it was her or not.She brought out her phone from her purse immediately it started ringing on my own side of the line and that was what conf
