“Alright mom, I’ve heard you” Maya replied. After they were done eating Maya carried out the dirty dishes and quickly wash them, she went to the dining to clean it up, but it was already done by her mother. She smiled.
That’s the joy and happiness.
She went to her father’s study room. He is a strong business man, he has planned to go to the king’s palace and explained everything to him. To tell him that they innocent. She didn’t knock but open the door and said. “Mr Edward can i come in” standing beside the door, with her arms folded and a smile on her pretty face.
“Please come in sweetheart” Edward said. She walked in with that smile. She sat beside him on the couch.
“So how was your day at work?” She asked. “It was a little stressful, but am alive again” He replied, with a smile.
“So did he ask you to come back?” He asked and adjusted himself.”What about the princess and Roy’s son, what’s his name again….Richard!” He muttered.
“Dad hopefully everything will fall back in the right place, the princess asked me to come back and spend some time with my family, she also send her regards to you and mom”
“Oh brave child. She will live long” Edward said
“What about her kingdom? Is she free now?” He added, staring at her.
“She is free, the king has found out that, she is not Grayson’s child” Maya replied.
“The kingdom? Her people wants her back, she has to come back and continue to rule. We need her”Edward said, concerned
“It’s left for her to decide” She replied. “Alright, i hope it won’t take much time” Edward muttered.

Omega finished cooking, he set the dinner and brought the meal to the dinning, ten minutes later, he finished eating. He decided to go back to Ms Miriam house, when he got there, he was told the same story. He became worried and called the king and told him what the maid said, he returned to his home it’s already 7pm, he called Maya to know how she is and her family. She didn’t pick up, he became restless and frustrated he used his fingers to brush his hair. He dropped his phone on the bed and went to the Washington.
In the palace. Amelia was talking to Maya. “Hello how are you doing” Amelia muttered.
“I’m fine and you, your baby and the king”
“We are fine. I’m missing you” Amelia pouted.
Maya chuckled, “am missed you baby. Don’t forget that you are the one who asked me to live” Maya said, smiling.
Amelia sighed, “i know…..it’s bored here” She muttered.
“Com’on it’s night already, you should be with the king”Maya said, more like a whisper. Amelia sighed softly and rolled her eyes.
“What’s the matter?” She asked.
“Maya I’m bored, I’ve never been this bored since my entire life, when the king goes out for a meeting, all will be left alone. No one comes. Just me and my baby”
“Com’on it’s as if am staying here forever. I will come back to see you. Anyways mom and dad are grateful for what you did”
“Especially Dad, he can’t stop praising you. You will live long”

“Yeah, please don’t like him. He is mine” Maya whispered, laughing.
“Oh please goddess, am sorry”
“I will call you later, am so hungry right now and a maid is here” Amelia whispered, in her words.
“Alright, Queen Amelia”
“Hey! Don’t say that in front of anyone” Amelia said.
“Okay. Your highness” Maya said, smiling. “Wh@ťěver please call him” Amelia muttered and hang up.
Amelia went downstairs to have dinner, Saanvi was present and Henderson was right there, Saanvi didn’t spare him a glance. He is like a stranger to her. A stranger is even better. He is like an enemy to her, Saanvi kept her busy with her iPhone 12 she got some weeks ago. Even though Henderson doesn’t want her, that doesn’t stop him from paying her every month, just to make her feel happy and to show that he cares. Amelia pulled out a seat and sat down, Henderson flashed her a smile.
“You guys waiting for me” Amelia murmured. “Yes” He replied and wink, Saanvi jealousy stood up and asked the maid to bring her food to her bedroom. She left, Amelia felt bad, but Henderson cheered her up.

Maya called Ethan, immediately her call dropped. “Hello sweetie” He said over the phone.
“Ethan, am sorry i missed your call, i was in the bathroom when you called and after your Amelia’s came, so i had to pick it” Maya said, calmly.
“It’s okay..sweetheart. How are you and your parents. Your little bro”
“We are fine and you”
He sighed, “I’m cool….i went to Miriam’s house and i was told the same story, it got me bothered and so fúçking worried. Henderson changed her phone and i don’t have her number, i would have called to know where and how she is doing. Am d@mn worried” He ran his hands through his hair in frustration.
“Babe, i want you to calm down. Okay. Shw is okay. Just take every negative thought out of your mind. She is fine. Maybe she went to her old house. You know everything happened too fast” She said, to calm him down.
“Okay….” He muttered.
“Have you eaten?” She asked, concerned.
“Nah! What about you?” He replied, she was about to say something when her brother walked in, “sister dad and mom is waiting for you” He yelled happily and ran out of her room. Omega chuckled softly.
“What’s the matter with you?” She muttered and rolled her eyes, she knows the reason why he did that.
“You’ve turned to mom and dad’s pet. Am jealous” Omega said, smiling.
“You got to be kidding right?”
“I’m serious, i wish my mom is alive. I would have visit her. Spend some weeks with her. I love her” Ethan said, sadly.
“Well it’s okay…am sorry” He added, he flashed a smile, even though no one could see him, but Maya knows that he is sad.
“Ethan please stop acting up. I know you will find her some day. She loves you too” Maya said.
“Thanks for the word of comfort, i love you Maya”
“I love you too Ethan. And am missing you. I can’t wait to come back and see your cute face”
“Whenever you come, you will be always welcome”
“Alright, please eat something before going to sleep. I will call you to know if have eaten or not” Maya said.
“Alright, sweetheart” He replied and hang up. He stood up and went to the kitchen, he has to eat something, he doesn’t need much, he prefer to cook by himself the maids only clean up the house. He brought two packs of noodles. “This will do” He muttered.
Amelia finished eating, she didn’t wait for him as usual. She headed to his room and lay on the bed, she pretend to be asleep. Henderson on the hand was surprised on her attitude, he went to his room.
“I’m sorry” He apologized, even though he doesn’t know he is saying it. She didn’t say anything to him, he tried to touch her she slapped his hands.
“I’ve apologize. I’m sorry” Henderson whispered.
“Why are you keeping him away from me? He is my brother. He is my blood” She asked,
“I’m not keeping him away from you. i was busy with some work at the company” He replied.
“Work. That’s the only thing you think of. You don’t even care about me and my baby” She said. He opened his mouth, with his hand on his forehead and wonder why she is taking the matter this far. “I thought she was talking about her brother. Now her and the baby” He thought. She seated.
“What are you saying babe. I care about you and our baby. You know” He muttered and took her hand, this time she didn’t push him away. He adjusted, he is now sitting close to her, he pulled her to his chest. His heart was beating, like a drum. Like an Indian drum.
“My heart has turned to a drum. It’s now a drummer. My heart beats for you” He said, more like a whisper.
“I can hear them beating so fast” She whispered. He smiled.
“I’m sorry I didn’t take you to his school. I promise I will take you there, tomorrow” He muttered.
“It’s alright. Am sorry too for harsh on you” She said.
“No you weren’t harsh. But speaking your mind and letting out your anger” He muttered.

The room was silent, expect from their breathe Amelia is thinking about how she doesn’t want to leave or let him go no matter what. Henderson decided to break it, since she wasn’t sleeping, he wants to keep her talking.
“Omega told me that he hasn’t seen Ms Miriam, he went back the second time. Still same story”
“Were could she have gone? I thought she has a maid right there” Amelia said, worriedly
“Yeahhh….she is the one who told him” Henderson muttered.
“I pray nothing happens to her. She was staying with us in the palace, before Grayson sent her away. I don’t know he is reasons…he doesn’t have right to send her away”
“Omega is also worried about her” Henderson muttered and sighed.
“Did you know that she has a son?” Amelia asked.
“Yeah..she said it the tape, omega told me too. Everything was so real” Henderson said.
“Do you know his name? you should at least know something about him” Henderson said.
“We need to find him” Henderson said, she looked at him and sighed softly.
