Andrei walked into Anna's room with a smile and a bouquet of flowers but his smile faded when he saw her crying and he panicked.   "Babe, what's going on? Why are you crying?". He asked. "The babies are fine." He let out a sigh when he saw them sleeping soundly.   Anna sniffled. "I just finished talking to Lucy and Scott, we have to go back home Andrei." She told him.   "What? Why? You're tired of Spain already? We can go somewhere else." He said. "Maybe.. England or America or somewhere in Asia."   Anna laughed amidst tears and shook her head. "I love Spain.

"You  look  good." "So  do  you." He  said. "How  have  you  been?".   "I  should  be  the  one  asking  you  that.  Imagine  my  surprise  when  I  heard  that  you  eloped  with  saint  Anna."

He  looked  like  a  dangerous  angel. "Hey  babe." He  closed  the  door  and  walked  over  to  plop  down  on  her  bed. "Hey."

Andrei  and  Damien  walked  into  Pinetop  supermarket  and  went  straight  to  the  counter  ignoring  the  people  that  were  queuing  up  waiting  to  pay  for  their  items  but  fortunately  no  one  said  a  word  about  his  intrusion  because  he  was  the  Crown  Prince  and  future  King  of  Mercia. "Hello." Andrei  greeted  the  cashier. "Your  Highness." She  curtsied  surprised  to  see  him. "How  can  I  help  you?". "My  fiancee,  Anna  Lowan  ca

Three days later Sera's  car  slowed  to  a  stop  behind  the  big  mango  tree  when  the  car  she  was  trailing  also  stopped  in  front  of  a  wooden  shack  in  the  middle  of  nowhere on  the  outskirts  of  Mercia.   She  waited  until  Arielle  alighted  from  the  car  and  walked  into  the  shack  before  she  alighted  from  her  car, shut  the  door  gently  and  locked  it  then  gently  and  quietly  ran  through  the  trees  to  the  side  of  the  shack  very  thankf
