<< HOTEL ZEUS >>
“What do you mean by Luther is engage to someone else?” Sierra found herself asking.
“Tch! I thought your first question will be about your engagement to my elder son but instead, you are asking about Luther engagement? You haven’t change at all” Mary Maxwell said, shaking her head.
“Well Luther is getting married to Charlotte as soon as he gets back to Denmark and after his….”
The sudden knock on the door interrupt her words, she gruffly told whoever is at the door to come in.
“Your highness, the table you’ve book at the restaurant is ready” the manager of the hotel said.
“I change my mind. Am going to have my dinner here and you can set up another plate for my guest ” Mary said, crossing her leg in a majestic pose.
“Yes, your highness” as soon as the manager left, Sierra turn a confuse look at Mary.
“He…just address you as her highness” Sierra said softly.
“That’s because am her highness. I got married to the king of Denmark who happens to be Luther and Tony’s father”
“So that makes Luther a…”
“Prince. That makes him a prince, you knew that and that was why you latch onto him in the past. Anyway, I didn’t call you here to blame you or talk of the past, it’s your choice to remember the rest of the history yourself. What I want you to do for me is to get Luther to agree to come back to Denmark with me”
“Things took a turn and we realise that Luther will make a better king which is why am here, I need you to talk him into going back with me” Mary added.
Sierra was hardly paying attention to what Mary was saying. All she kept thinking of is that Luther is a prince and soon to be king.
“So what do you say? Are you helping me or not?”
“Am afraid I have to go. I….there are things I have to do, goodbye” Sierra said, leaving the room in a rush.
She made it out of the hotel and it wasn’t until she got into the taxi that she calm her racing nerve.
Hidden secrets keep popping out and each time it does, she feels scared, scared to find out something that will hurt her.
“Hello head nurse. Can I take a night shift today. Thanks, I will be at the hospital soon ” She said and ended the call.
Going back home will only make her think endlessly, working will stop her from thinking and that’s the best thing for now.
An hour after she got to work, she got a message from her mom, telling her that she won’t be able to see her since she’s at the hospital with her friend.
After replying, Sierra got into the elevator to do her round when she got a call from Luther.
She was about declining his call once again when he ended it himself and sent her a message.
★ WHERE ARE YOU. I HEARD YOU SPOKE TO MY MOM, TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE, AM WORRIED ★
She felt a little bit guilty when she read the message, she replied and told him she’s at the hospital before pocketing her phone.
The door open and a suspicious looking man push in an unconcious lady on a wheel chair, he was dress in the nursing uniform for male but the tattoo on his arm didn’t seem right to her, he must be a kidnapper…she thought.
She waited till the door open and as soon as it did, she quickly call for help.
“He’s not a nurse, help me!” Sierra yell and seeing that he was caught, the man quickly ran out of the elevator, pushing Sierra aside while two guards ran after him.
On the other hand, Sierra had hit her head hard on the wall when the kidnapper push her earlier.
She fell on the floor, holding onto her head and the last thing she saw were some unknown faces rushing towards her to help.

“Will she be fine, Steve?” Luther ask the doctor friend he hired himself when he first built faith hospital.
“She will, she only suffered a mild concussion and….” Steve pause, looking serious.
“And what?” Luther urge.
“She’s in a deep sleep, we won’t be able to tell when she will wake up” Steve inform.
“You need to do something. We can’t let her stay in this condition”
“Am sorry Luther but the only thing we can do now is to wait for her wake up herself” Steve said to him.
Unknown to them, Sierra’s sleep isn’t exactly a deep sleep since it’s a sleep that led her back to the past.
A sleep that got her relieving the lost memory from six years ago.

A seventeen year old Sierra could be seen scribbling something down on her note in class.
You could tell just by her expression how happy she is doing it.
“What are you doing?” Penelope, Sierra best friend ask as she join her at her desk.
“Drawing Luther” Sierra replied.
“Again. You have enough of his drawing and pictures in your room “
“They aren’t enough” Sierra said.
“Tell me, what do you see in this guy. You know he’s two years older than you and apart from that, he’s in his final year in senior high while we are just in our first year and also, he’s the second son of the royal family, a prince to be precise and finally, he already has a fiancee. That Ɓîtçhy looking senior we met during our first day in senior high, they call her Charlotte and she’s very pretty”
“So tell me, with all of this things that I just said. Do you still intend to pursue him? Remember that we are just from a normal family” Penelope said.
“Believe me when I say that have already thought about this things and I did try, I tried to stay away but I just can’t. You can say it’s love at first sight for me. Even if he’s two years my senior, even if he has a fiancee which I doubt he likes, even if he’s a prince while am just an ordinary girl, I will still pursue him. I like him, Penelope. I like Luther Maxwell a lot” Sierra replied happily.
“Tch! You are like a psychopath in love ” Penelope admonish.
“Yes, I am a psychopath in love ” Sierra replied, grinning like a fool.
The ringing of her alarm got her putting her things aside to leave the class room.
“Where are you going?” Penelope demanded.
“To get him his coffee” Sierra yell before leaving class.
Ever since she’s seen Luther using the music room during lunch break, she’s been taking coffee to him secretly.
Unluckily for her, she didn’t get the coffee in time and when she got to the music room, she came face to face with a nineteen year old Luther.
On impulse, she turn to leave but Luther stop her.
“Are you the one who have been bringing me coffee?” He ask and slowly, she turn to stare at him.
“Yes”
“Why? ” He ask.
“I know you like drinking this coffee but due to the long queue at the cafeteria, you never get to buy it which is why I took it upon myself to get it for you” Sierra said, smiling nervously.
“Why would you? You know nothing about me to…”
“I do. I know a lot of things about you, it took me months but I do know it now” She said quickly.
“Are you…perhaps a stalker?” Luther ask.
“No, no, no. Am just someone…who likes you a lot” Sierra said truthfully.
“Like not even crush? You are probably one of the tenth grade students who just got in. Am going to forget you ever said any of this and so, you can leave” He said, dismissing her but Sierra set down the cup of coffee and walk up to him.
She stood directly in front of him, glaring at down him.
“W-what ?”
“It took me a lot of courage to say this to you and…you are only dismissing me. Hell no! I like you Luther Maxwell. You might think of it as a joke but I know what I feel and you will end up becoming my boyfriend or even better, my husband” She said and gave him a surprise kiss on the lips before running out of the music room.
Luther sat still, touching his lips while thinking about the things she said.
“Crazy” he muttered and immediately took his things, leaving the music room before she returns.

<< PRIVATE ROOM >>
Moans filled the air as Charlotte kept screaming while Tony went deeper just like she wanted.
The two were oblivious to the things around except for the urge to satisfy their lust and when they did get what they want.
Tony layed on the bed watching Charlotte put on her uniform.
“You know, you would be more suitable as my fiancee” Tony said softly.
“Don’t be ridiculous. You know it’s Luther I like”
“You say you like my brother and yet, you come to me for a f-__-k. Why not just change side, your dad won’t be angry. He will be more please to know that you chose me instead of my loser of a brother” Tony said.
“Apart from being good in bed and from being the next heir to the throne, I don’t see any other attributes in you”
“Oh! Let me guess, my brother has this so called attributes I lack?”
“He does. Not only is he handsome, he’s very popular with girls in school and what draws me more to him is his aloofness, I will love to know what’s going on in his head” Charlotte said, having a dreamy look on her face.
“Don’t talk about Luther having that kind of expression on your face. It makes you look like an idiot”
“Wh@ťěver. Luther to me is the only fiance I want and you…you can keep being my f-__-k mate”
“You do realize that after my coronation and I get married and make any girl of my choice my queen. You won’t have any access to me again” Tony told her.
“I will cause I know that even by then, you will still want me. Just like I will keep wanting you to satisfy my urge until Luther takes pity on me and replace you”
“Everyone in school thinks you are here to see your brother. Do that out of appearance and don’t come out until half an hour time. Now more than ever you should think of your reputation, you will be crown king soon, so start acting like one” Charlotte said, blowing him a kiss before leaving the room.
“d@mn her” Tony muttered as he put on his clothes.
He left the private room and as soon as his guards saw him, they immediately went to cover him up from the girls screaming out his name.
Most of them knew him as their senior in the past since he also studied here which is about three years ago and some might know him due to the influence of being the next king.
He stood, waving at them, hoping Luther won’t show up so he won’t have to play the big brother part.
He was still smiling and waving at all the girls screaming out his name when someone caught his attention.
Unlike the other girls, she was busy scrolling through a book on the second floor.
He watch a smile tilt her lips, wh@ťěver she was checking out in the book earn that smile and he found himself wondering what it will take to get her to smile for him.
Suddenly she look up, starring at him and at that moment, Tony felt a tug in his chest.
It has never happen to him before and not even with the harlots he has slept with…who is she?
He thought as she look away from him, her attention back to her book.
“Sierra, come see this” a girl her age called and Tony watch her leave the balcony.
His gaze went with her until she was out of sight.
“Seems like have found my queen ” Tony murmur, smiling at the thought…..
