All Chapters of Undercover Princess Mia: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The restaurant was huge, opulent and looked quite expensive. The tables were arranged properly without a single chair out of place. There were couples everywhere, silently eating and whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears. The waiters were swiftly gliding from one table to another, carrying delicious plates of exotic food, taking orders politely with a bright smile and clearing The tables as soon as the customers left. The light was dim with a smoky kind of soothing fragrance in the air and some couples were dancing slowly, moving to the rhythm on the elevated stage. There was an entire orchestra too with singers who beautifully sang soul songs.After a forty-five minute drive, we had finally arrived here, in the city. We were silent the entire ride with occasional awkward talks about the city lights and buildings. I didn't ask about Jessica nor did he tell me anything, but from inside, I was burning to know what happened between him and her."Sir, what's your order?" The wa

"Where is Kyle? Have you seen him, Amelia? The match is going to begin soon," Patty said, her voice laced with worry and concern and her attention darted towards the crowd of people gathered in the stadium."You sit here, I'll fetch him," I offered and Patty just nodded. I went to look for Kyle, the cute, naughty little four or five year old who was elated for his brother's match, but where did he suddenly disappear?I rushed to look for him in such a crowded stadium. The stadium was filled with so many people, dressed wonderfully in bright, coloured jerseys showing their support and love to their respective teams. The entire town had gathered and so many unfamiliar yet familiar faces, some or the other I had bumped at the park or grocery store. It was a very important match and in fact, two towns had gathered. The winning team of the town would be awarded with not only a trophy, but also several hundred dollars for their respective town fund and not damaging their pride.Losing was a

"You know him?" I heard Noah ask from behind and my heart hammered against my chest wildly. My lips quivered and I blinked back my tears."Know w-who?" I stuttered and pretended that it was not him."My dad, his middle name is John," Noah confirmed my doubt and I took a few steps back until my back hit the shelf. I was beyond shocked, my entire body shook and twitched. All the old memories stormed in my empty brain, mocking my fate. Noah's deep blue eyes studied my face carefully as he tried to calm me."N-No, I . . . well, I don't know him! I-I just saw his name in one of the trophies!" I lied and went into a state of hysteria. I nearly ran away from the shattered photoframe which contained the photograph, but I tripped over something and Noah's strong arms immediately prevented me from falling. "I-I'm sorry about the frame, I didn't mean to-to break it."My mind was completely blank as I sat down to collect the pieces of broken glass on the floor."Hey, hey, hey, don't touch that! A

I didn't go to school and I wasn't planning to go any time soon either. Besides, there wasn't any necessity for me to go. I was home schooled back in London and I was already ahead in studies compared to any other average, seventeen year old student.Today, Katy and Jack had gone on a date to the town's festival and to make sure that I would be okay, they left the two bodyguards who I had met the day I came here and met Jack too. I still remember that creepy, bald, short bodyguard who had a mole on his left cheek - no maybe right cheek with tiny hair sprouting and---Ew, I should stop.Anyway, Katy looked absolutely stellar in her purple, short, sequin dress and smoky eye make up accentuating her cloudy grey eyes. Her hair was tied into a loose bun with a shiny, silver clip which made her soft, voluminous locks spill over the back of her head. It seemed a bit over the top, but after that festival they were heading towards a club so the outfit was appropriate.Katy and Jack gave me a l

I woke up as the dancing sunlight kissed my forehead and I squinted my eyes. I was lying on an enormous bed in a beige coloured room which was so plain and gloomy, one of the many unused rooms in our house. It would have been difficult to carry me upstairs so they left me in one of the guest rooms downstairs. I felt like I had given up, my emotions and feelings were being mirrored on the dull objects surrounding me or perhaps, my perspective had totally changed.I recalled the heart-wrenching sound of Katy's wails. All the memories of last night raced through my head which caused my head to throb in pain. I rubbed my temples roughly and lumbered towards the bathroom.I splashed cold water on my face and wiped it with a towel. My reflection was haunting, my eyes puffy and bloodshot and my cheeks swollen. The pins of my wig hair dug painfully in my scalp and I removed it for a while to massage my head and then wore it again. I changed into yoga pants and an oversized t-shirt with some r
