strength, handsomeness and wisdom but the
younger prince was born blind.
the blind prince,Drema was treated in total
disdain and hatred....the king hated to see him he
was only loved by his mother and Lila,his step
sibbling.
At times he sees and even if he does,his sight
gets blurry so he moved around with his poor
sight whom no one knows the cause nor the cure.
Other than his disability,Drema is God in his own
way,he has been recognized as the world's
wealthiest male model...
People all over the world thinks his mask is his
logo,uniqueness or he just don't want anyone to
see his face but he only uses the mask so the
world won't know about his poor sight.
He is the guy who doesn't step on the floor,the
guy who wears clothes once....he has it all, the
world revolves round him and this made him has a
very cold and annoying personality...
He cries himself all night wishing the sky goddess
will grant him full sight..
everyone haunts him with his sight,
his brothers, everyone
his father was worst.
even with the mask,one could tell he is handsome
but pitifully he puts it on like a sunscreen.

now,enjoy..
securities and maids came out from different
sides,both men and women.Prince Drema already
passed out.
"my prince"
"young prince"
"prince Drema"
the maids stood shocked at one end admiring his
manly figure,the guards were shocked to the
bones,they will all be in trouble for being so
careless in duty.
a maid almost tucked his hair because it covered
his sight but she was too scared to touch him not
to talk of his hair so she watched him like a movie
alongside other maids.
queen chiamaka's p.o.v
what did I hear that happened to my son?
I rushed to the prince empire immediately.
I didn't even reply my hand maid.
"how can that common guard be so careless,where
is the head guard? I shouted
"he is here my queen"another maid replied.
"and where is Drema personal guard? I shouted.
nkem appeared looking as tensed as ever,he
hasn't said anything,I slapped him.
"you will be punished for being a careless servant,
you weren't suppose to leave my son alone not
even for a second you are to stay with him and
lead him to wherever he wants to go"I yelled..my
voice broke off cos of so much anger.
Seeing the boy I nutured for nine months in pain
is enough for me to go crazy.
I sniffed,
all the maids bowed.
"am sorry my queen
"it was him that said I should leave"nkem said
I wanted to slap him again,I controlled my
temper.
the guards already tried lifting Drema up.
I took Dre hand from the guards and used my
hand to wipe traces of blood from his head.
who is trying to harm you,the pain you already
felt,can't they pity you...what did you do to this
world??
I followed the guards who carried him carefully
and in no time,the physician arrived the rest of
the maids left and just three remained.
I stood quietly beside the glass door watching
the the physician treat my angel..
"here is your phone,my queen"
I turned abd took the phone.
"Ciara please I need the you to book the next
flight to Canada,it's important"
"alright"
"thank you,dremas health is really important to
me,he is my only son and the main man in my life".
"okay ma'am,the next flight to Canada is 6am
tomorrow"
"alright"
I dropped the call and watched through the glass
door.Drema is still unconscious.
The physician came out after an hour.
"he is gaining consciousness but who is Nora?"he
asked.
"Nora...that's his girlfriend"
"she must be so dear to him cos he kept on calling
the name Nora,her presence will help a lot"he said
and walked in.
I dialed Nora's number countless times,she
wasn't picking,my texts were unreplied.
Nora my dear,please pick up my calls
This is the time Drema need you help,it's really
urgent please show up it's really urgent..
no reply. and have called her number close to
30times and counting.
I strolled out to the garden while still dialing her
number
she didn't pick
is she having issues with Drema?
even if they are having issues that doesn't mean
she should busy my calls.
someone laughed from behind,I didn't bother
turning,I already know who it was.
she walked fully to my front; queen ivory(prince
Charles mother).
"I meant to ask,where is your son walking stick or
doesn't he need it to do this...."she demonstrated
how that blind uses stick to walk. I sighed.
"or do blind people not make use of sticks these
days"she said.
"ivory am in no mood to utter gibberish with you"I
said,she pushed me slightly.
Ignoring the push I got from her,I smiled kindly
at her. "and you that your son is not blind,how
many things has he achieved...
nothing good to write home about
maybe you should at least try giving birth to a
blind child so that fortune will smile at you" I
fired.
the look on Ivory's face got more bittered.
"Hey don't twist anything for the fact will always
remain the same,your son is blind,so what's the
essence of his wealth if he can't see"she replied..
I point a warning finger at her"ivory do not insult
my son never never in your life and please he is
not blind.He might be blind in your eyes but not in
my eyes"I said.
"you are very right Chismaka,in your eyes your son
is not blind but in the eyes of others he is
blind,you should have just remained barren all
your life instead of giving birth to such a thing
you call son"she said.
"only the gods knows why i gave birth to Drema
,you're the owner of your mouth please yourself
and do whatever you wish...
quick reminder ivory, my son is better than the
other princes and you know it!! I pushed her the
way she did to me,
she almost fell.i smiled and walked away.
Nora just disappointed me today.
"where is the Nora?the doctor asked.
"I guess she's busy...never mind I will take care
of it"I replied and went in.
I sat quietly beside Drema on the bed.
"my handsome Drema you will be fine.No harm will
befall you my son.
I rubbed his palms softly.
"Nora"...he called.
"yes,my love I love you"I replied in Nora's tone
He kept on calling her name
I kept on repeating the same thing.
although I was fed up but I stayed till the next
day.
Royal palace.....
the royal banquet was still going on when they
arrived,it was still very late.
his guards helped him to the prince empire.
"my son!!!
queen chiamaka came right in time and hugged
him.
"how's father??"he asked in turn.
"he's....he's ..he's fine...u can just
"no I really want to talk to father right now...
"no you can't,the party is still..
"I mean he's having a meeting with the chiefs"
his mother lied.
knowing fully well that the king don't want to see
Drema,she had to put on the distance.
"you can go"she dismissed the guards and led
prince Drema in herself. Everyone they came
across gasped in awe and took pictures of prince
Drema.
REPORTING LIVE, QUEEN CHIAMAKA
SPOTTED HOLDING THE WORLD SWEETHERT
DREMA JEWEL.
Drema!!! Drema!!!
oh my God! I love yyyyooooou!!!

I never knew he's in this banquet!!
the girls screamed crazily and were even pushing
each other. No one knew he is a prince...they only
knew him as a celebrity that was the part that
bruised drema's ego
"relax drema it's just for a while
"your father loves you! he will see you once till
her cool! should I set your bath now!!
"hmm no need" Dre replied and laid flatly on his
king sized bed.His mother sat and carefully lifted
his head on her laps.
she sang for him like a baby, Drema chuckled the
image of the groudnut seller suddenly flashed to
his memory,he smiled for no reason
the door opened revealing Nora.
queen chiamaka smiled and excused them.
Drema already perceived Nora's scent he knew
she's in the room but he kept quiet intentionally.
"Drema,I came to tell you that I need space? she
said.
"you need space? if it's about the perfume
matter I already said am sorry,what else do you
want me to do!
"you are shouting at me Drema! Nora said, she
really wanted Drema to beg more she wanted him
to chase after her and beg but unfortunately
Drema didn't even stand from where he lay on
the bed.
"whatever I am leaving,am done!.
she threatened.
Drema didn't even move,
he didn't beg her and begg like he used to do.
He strained his eyes to see Nora's face, although
his sight got blurry but he captured the cloth she
wore.
he could see all her breast in that little gown she
wore....he kept quiet.
"whatever I am leaving,am done" Nora shouted
and left,she knows Drema will soon call her to
beg.
************** Chidinma's house
chidinma and her mother were seen in the
kitchen.she smiled to herself as she stirred the
lemonade tea.
her mother was busy making the chicken kabeb..
"mama you should go and give the remaining
money to madam tamara,you know how miserable

Nora's Suite...
Nora strolled in her room,
her right hand held her two phone cos she was
expecting a call.
the other phone rang
"what happened have been expecting your calls
since???*she said
"am sorry madam but the gown isn't ready. Emma
won't be going on the runway anytime soon...glow
skin dropped her"
"so what happened to the gown?"she asked.
"the designer recorded 38 instead of 30 which is
your preference" I'm sorry I didn't cross-
check"viola said.
"it had allowance,didn't it!! jeez voila I was
feeling sick but you just ruin my mood what's the
essence if my effort isn't paying off" Nora
almost yelled.
"it's not my fault also..."Viola said
"must today be bad"Nora said and dropped the
call angrily.
she strolled round her room for a while and
finally moved into the section where she had a
pool.She sat in the white pavement that
separated the pool water.
she relaxed well but still felt water on her pant
the pavement stored a little quantity of water
it was very white and beautiful.
soon a maid moved in with a set of towel alongside
with kits.
she helped Nora to take off her crop top,her
bikini was exposed revealing her full breasts.
the maid closed her eyes as she gently applied
the oil at her back into her waist.
she dropped the sun burn oil and dammed Nora's
hair with a warm towel then sprayed a
moisturizer all over it.
Nora tied the big towel.
her white phone rang.she smiled in full as Stella
helped her with the phone
"who is calling??
"madam it's Denzel"
Nora frowned,she thought it was Drema.
why hasn't he called her.
she collected the phone from the maid and
dismissed her.
let me exercise patience till tomorrow,
he will call me....he always beg me to stay"
she layed on her bed.
her pride has taken over every part of her body
hi Nora! Emma has been picked up again.. you're
getting the gown after it's been modelled
right??" she got a text.
she stopped staring at dremas picture and picked
the phone where she got the text.
sure! I always be the first to buy....what's the
recommended price" she texts.
nothing much...just 1million naira so cheap"
ohkay,I will send it now" she replied
she copied the account number and wanted to do
the transfer until she remembered what week it
was.
"Drema hasn't sent me my wardrobe allowance
for this week,is he joking or what?"
she seethed and wanted to call him but her pride
won't allow her.
"why should I call him now when he will still come
back to beg me!!
she terminated the process and transferred the
money from the last money drema sent to her..
Prince Drema's.
prince drema was finding it difficult to sleep as
usual,his insomnia condition doesn't allow him
sleep at night so the queen hired a story teller to
tell him stories through out the night.
drema find it as a great help plus the woman was
fun..
just then his phone rang,
the woman helped him with the phone.
it was Bethel,he dropped the call soon..
the story teller told him one more story but she
wants something better for prince drema.
"can you try to close your eyes so you can
sleep??"the woman suggest.
"aiishh,I develop headache each time I try.. I
know better not to try that"
"okay"
"can you leave,I just want to be alone" prince
drema said.
"ohkay,have a nice night"
the woman left.
prince drema dropped the pop corn bowl, it
dropped the moment he stood. He took few steps
forward and noticed his necklace wasn't with him
anymore..
"did I dropped it??
"if yes then where???
he moved out as usual,his sight got weak and with
the lenses he managed to go up the stairs and
located the king's room.
he was about knocking when the door opened to
his face...It was Charles.
"what do you want and who brought you up
here??"Charles asked.
"is that a question??"drema replied and pulled
back his hair band.
"am here to see father"he added.
"which father? is it the one that disowned you?
Charles smirks.
"if you call him father...why didn't he show you
off at the banquet,I guess he was too ashamed to
admit a blind son"Charles laughed
"either blind or not,I still want to see father...
it's not about what's outside,it's about what's on
the inside" drema said.
Charles fumed...
drema smiled and chewed his gum slowly that
alone made Charles angrier.
"leave before I push you down...you've overstayed
your welcome infact you're never welcomed"he
said.
"I forgive you for the fact that we share the
same father! I give you this last chance to move
away from my way"drema said.
Charles laughed."that sounds like something a
weak person would say".
"yes father"Charles answered and purposely
slammed the door on Drema's face.
"who was that?? he heard.
"Dre"
"it's no one important" he heard.
he doesn't know what he felt hearing his father
say something as hurtful as that.
"are you okay"nkem came right in time
"just take me out of here"
"where sir???
"anywhere"he replied.
nkem took him out...like he knew what was on
drema's mind.He stopped at a cool place.
drema stepped of the car and walked down, nkem
got uncomfortable when drema stood for a long
time he knows the story too but he thought
drema will be over it by now. he decided to call
bethel and inform her.
"this is exactly where I stood...I saw the girls
face and I wasn't blind for a seconds"
he said..
"you mean you see???nkem asked.
drema stared at him but he didn't reply.
""drema please we have to go before people
recognize you here...am not sure of this
environment"nkem said..
drema didn't move..
Chidinma on the other hand was enjoying her
peaceful sleep until the soft hand of her mother
woke her up.
they forgotten to return money to the place they
borrowed from.
"you need to return this money to madam
Tamara..tomorrow is suppose to be the
deadline...onsiso onsiso(fast fast fast)"
her mother said.
Chidinma stood immediately and collected the
money while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"onsiso onsiso!( fast fast) nonso will follow you
since it's night"her mother headed.
she hurried out with her brother.
Bethel on the other hand arrived to the spot
prince drema was. she was quick to find his
necklace on the floor near to the path side.
"why are you here drema? is it this??"
she asked. drema didn't even reply.
she sighed.
"you don't need to let them hurt you emotionally
not everyone will be part of your life
forever,some will come and go...
some to stay forever...no matter how sweet
sugarcane is,we can never swallow it." bethel said..
"I saw for 1seconds when I met that girl"
prince drema said.
"common you're imagining things"bethel said
"it doesn't look like an imagination am I a kid"
drema said and walked down.
Just then Chidinma and her brother walked
beside the scene. Drema didn't notice because he
had his back turned to the path he was facing. it
was bethel who saw Chidinma first.
chidinma got scared when her and bethel's eyes
locked. they must have find out she duped them
#60,000.
"aunty am sorry,I was only playing but you fell
into my trap of #60,000....am...I don't have any
important groundnut it was just play....am...
drema turned,his sight got cleared again and he
couldn't help with staring at this girl who seemed
to be the most beautiful....
nonso noticed the look and held his sister who
didn't notice firmly..
"run"he whispered to her

without hesitation,Chidinma agreed with her
brother and that both ran out of the scene to
where their mother went them.
it was the first time nonso will see a guy stare at
his sister for so long....that was why he asked
them to run.chidinma herself didn't notice all
these.
they stopped running to catch their breath when
they arrived.the smell of cooked herbs abd
shrubs was what greeted them and the maids
we're seen working at night.
madam Tamara is not only bossy,she's mean and
Chidinma wondered how she managed to heal the
sicks.
"excuse me I want to see madam Tamara"
Chidinma asked one of the maids.
"for what? if you're here for healing procession
then go and line up under the shades till it gets to
your turn"
"am not here for healing,I came to deliver my
mother's message"she replied with an eye roll
"whatever it is you will still have to cue before
you see madam Tamara"
"whaaaattt"
the maid walked out.
Chidinma had no choice than to go under the
shade,the crowd there was much so she stayed
behind the shade.
she even peep several times to see if madam
Tamara is coming,finally she saw her in the inner
room making her hair.
seriously....
is this woman Soo mean??
she kept the sicks waiting and she's making her
hair....between hair and human life which is more
important??
she sighed angrily.
she turned,the guy sitting in the middle of the
shade was battling madness and if care is not
taken,the madness will go out of hand the chain
they used in holding him down is almost
loosed.another woman at the front was in tears
her baby was compulsing and might die within
hours.
madam tamara finally came out,the woman stood
up immediately.
"the healer of our time,my baby is dying"the
woman cried.
"have you completed my payments? now leave!
leave! leeeave!!" madam Tamara said
"I beg of you ,I don't have anything else...I
already gave out my beautiful beads and clothes,I
also gave out my best ointment, my farm produce
right now my store is down..."
the woman begged.
madam Tamara laughed.*your acting skills is really
bad"
"I beg of you...okay just heal my daughter and I
promise she will serve you for two years as
payments* the woman said.
"okay we have a deal,give the child out"
two guards came and collected the child from the
woman.Chidimma watched she really pitied the
woman who went home sadly without her child.
"my healer have completed payment please heal
my son from this madness,his madness was caused
due to the death of a loved one"
"you can go"
finally it got to chidinma's turn.
she already saw how inhuman this woman is so she
avoided looking her in the eyeballs.
"yes,you what ailment do you have?..madam
Tamara asked.
*I have no ailment.i am chidinma the daughter of
uremma,my mother went me to deliver the
community money to you..
"here,have it" Chidinma said and stretched the
parcel to her.
madam tamara recognized chidinma as the girl
that beat her son up because he was trying to
woo her.
Chidinma on the other hand maintained a strong
serious face but madam tamara saw beyond a
troublesome and beautiful maiden, she saw
something different.
she muttered something inaudible to herself
"isn't this my opportunity....I mustn't loose this
girl"she said in her way as she thought of ways to
retain her down.
"what's that your name again?"she asked.
"does that matter,take the money..." Chidinma
replied with a serious face.her spirit doesn't feel
comfortable immediately madam tamara arrived.
"look at me"madam tamara said.
Chidinma did but it was until madam Tamara
repeated herself.
"now take it back to your mother and tell her the
limits have passed...so she will have to serve
punishment for late payments..."
"what late payment are you talking about?
tomorrow is the deadline and I brought the
money today...
are you serious looking for a way to cause trouble
with my household" chidinma said.
she walked away with her brother.
madam Tamara smiled at her back view till she
was out of sight.

the HD wallpapers,
the glass floors..
the royal couchhh
the tables were his jewelry sat lined together
mixed lights came out of the bathroom door
halfly,everything screamed wealth.
"I wish I could go in but he doesn't likes anyone
around...I feel like he's proud"Abigail said..
"hmm no I don't think he's proud...he just like
being lonely,at least his girlfriend comes
around"chioma added..
"back to the quarters"
the maids dispersed on hearing Rose voice.
"there will be sanctions for roaming the young
prince empire next time"rose,the maids
coordinator said.
"we are sorry"
"sorry for yourselves..."
"clear the remaining three beds,another one will
be brought in shortly" she added.
"hunn why??? another three maids!
rose walked out.
Nkem entered prince drema's room.
"hey how did it went?"drema asked.
"fine my prince,she agreed..you both are meeting
4pm tomorrow at that same spot"
Dre took a deep breath.."please don't disappoint
me I had to work out of 140millionaire."
"I hope this works"Dre added.
"it will...you're really strong"nkem added.
"if not for anything,I want to feel a father's love
it hurts whenever he ignores me"Dre said.
nkem just smiled,he suddenly felt free with the
prince
"you know I still don't know how to thank you,
nkem...thank you for being this true"
"it's my duty to protect you"nkem said.
"ask me anything,I will give it to you even the
ones that are not possible I will make it
possible"he said.nkem smiled.
"aahh nothing...maybe you should just be my.. ahh
I don't want anything" nkem said.
Dre laid flatly on the bed and hugged the fat
teddy bear to himself.
"why???Dre asked
"you know the rules my prince" nkem said.
"what rules???
"don't you know I am a slave to the throne,long
conversation with you is wrong,I shouldn't even
sit with you"he said.
"sounds funny"drema said.
"we could just be brothers then...call me drema if
you want"prince drema said.
nkem smiled,he was shocked a bit. He knows
drema grumpy side tho.
"you mean--
"yeah drema call me that but when we are seeing
the girl tomorrow,don't forget my name is
Obim,and I am meeting her as a poor boy" drema
said.
nkem smiled.
Nora's place.
Nora was at the poolside with her princess
friends.laura walked out in pant and bra. also an
award winning model.
she took the lemonade juice pack.
"you shouldn't be drinking that...you should take
mapia instead"Emma said.they all laughed except
for Nora.
"gosh I can't believe prince Charles could do that
to me at the banquet,he left me stranded and
started looking in the midst of those village girls
that looks like dirt"Princess Laura said.
"he looks like someone who has taste"Amanda
added.
"then he's probably tasteless in women"Jackie
said and poured herself wine.
"you and Charles didn't share anything it was just
one time sex and that was because you both
jammed at the club you both wanted it and you
got laid that moment"Nora said.
"what do you mean? U mean Charles doesn't like
me???*Laura asked.
"I never said that,Charles doesn't look like
someone who wants to be in a relationship you
obviously were not a Virgin and he didn't make
any promises...that one time sex doesn't mean
he's your boyfriend"Nora said and walked in.
she's not just sure of what's wrong with her.
she got dressed in a perfect red dress,she
brushed her hair,her mom called.
she picked the call.
"Hy???
"did you go to drema's palace??
"mommm!!! she rolled her eyeballs..
"have you called him!
"fine,no I haven't"she replied
"why????
"he should be the one to call me,and I am not
going to his place till he calls me to apologise" she
replied.
"umm Nora,it doesn't depends on whether he is
blind...it what's inside that matters. He buys you
gifts,he gives you 7million naire every week and
monthly wardrobe allowance, he treats you
nicely...
"sooo??? Nora replied.
"please come back to your senses"her mom said..
"okay"she said and dropped her phone
she dialed drema's digit.
He picked immediately but never said anything...
Nora's pride won't allow her say a word, she was
expecting drema to start begging her when he
picked but surprisingly he said nothing.Not even
Hy.
drema dropped the call when she wasn't saying
anything.
Nora started crying.
. Chidinma's house
Chidinma was frying groundnuts,her mother was
trying it,nonso who sat on the floor counted them.
Hanna arrived.
"good evening nne" she greeted.
"my daughter"her mother replied Hana.
she collected the spoon from Chidinma, dinma
went to answer Hana in her room.
"guess guess guess"Hana said.
"I don't know how to guess so just tell me"
Hana took a deep breath
"I just got the maid job...in the royal palace!! free
accommodation,free food and a fat salary plus I
will see my dream man, the only guy that I think
of...imagine I don't even think of my own future,I
will really meet prince drema in human..I will be a
maid in his empire" Hana exclaimed.
"huni that's nice.am happy for your job"
dinma said sadly.she will miss her friend.
"we can still be together you know...as in there
are application for 3maids,you need to apply
faster before it gets too late"hana said.
"umm noo,I am okay. I can't leave my mother and
brother no matter what...I should be telling you
not to forget me"she said.
Hana smiled.
"so what type of maid are you there??
"hmm the princess maid. Princess Lila will soon
arrive from the states,I am her assistant"
Hana said.
"chaiiii those spoilt kids,it's well" dinma said.
they both laughed.
Hana left afterwards.
Chidinma took her evening bath immediately hana
left, she wore the most beautiful dress out of
the ten she had. she didn't bother about her hair
she only oiled it.
prince drema already arrived at the location with
nkem.drema's dressing was so low and he did that
purposely,he felt more comfortable not letting
her know he is the prince.
he waited patiently for her in the spot with nkem,
his Royce Roy's car was packed in a distant..
he had no earrings,rings,and chain on..
his hair was binded with a local bracelet and a
local bracelet was on his neck as planned by
nkem....

nonso ran out of the compound with his mother
who was already in tears.
*******
meanwhile prince drema was still waiting,he
strained his eyes to check time it was already
4:30pm
"this is serious..I can't believe am waiting for
someone"he muttered and walked down to where
his car was packed. he leaned on it.
bethel was able to track his location down so she
came with Mr Kelvin.
"i prepared everything for the travel sir"
"I told you i won't have time today"Dre replied,
his face cap covered his face fully.
"what are you doing here that made you cancel
the deal?*Mr Kelvin asked.
"nothing,I just feel like staying here alone with
nkem. you and bethel can kindly leave us alone
you've overstayed your visit in fact you're never
welcome"Dre said
"as you wish rema but I hope you will change your
mind concerning the deal...
mr Kelvin and bethel stepped into the car and
drove away.
"Rema is really getting strange..you can imagine
him walking out of 140millionaire what will I tell
sir Miguel...am tired of covering up for
drema"bethel said.
"whosoever rema is waiting for is special because
the rema I know doesn't like dirt you can imagine
him staying in this type of environment"mr king
said.
"I wonder who it is"bethel said.
"me too...
Mr Kelvin abd bethel didn't actually leave,they
packed their car at a distant. bethel was really
concerned about who drema wants to see.
it began to rain,she looked out the window drema
was still leaning on his car
"we need to stop drema,he will catch serious
cold"she said.
"leave him alone...
"just let's stop him..
"let him be"Mr Kelvin said.
"it's raining
"it's not too much
"drema has a condition"
"I think he is moving in... you care too much about
him, remember you're only an assistant" Mr Kelvin
said..
"thank God"
bethel felt relieved..
drema sat in his car with nkem.
nkem knew the time wasn't by their side again
plus it's getting dark.

Royal Palace
queen chiamaka suite
the guards came back in full without a glimpse of
drema
"my queen we didn't find him"a guard said.
"and then I said I shouldn't return if you don't
find him"she replied,they rushed out back. for
some minutes she wasn't myself.she eel so not
her as she walked into drema's suite.
seeing everywhere calm and quiet breaks her
heart so much,she sob quietly..
my son!!
my chidi(my pillar)
my mma(beautiful)
my peaceful rema....
she said in between sobs....is it also my fault that
I am your mother.
"drema why are you doing this to me?" she asked
myself. she wiped her face with the back of my
palm and walked out.she waited for the guards
who went in search of him,they already
returned,still without drema
"you still came back without him"she asked
"yes my queen..Nkem is not also around so we
assumed that they went out together"a guard
said
"also the younger prince favorite ride is not in
the lot,that shows enough prove that they went
together"another guard said,the Queen's heart
came to rest immediately.
"you should still stay in the boarders,no one
sleeps till my son returns"queen chiamaka said
and went in.
queen ivory was coming from the opposite
direction.she intentionally moved in her way. I
sighed and left the way for her,
she blocked it again.
"his highness demands our presence"she said
"that's still not enough prove to block my way"
queen chiamaka added.
"have you ever thought of getting a surgery for
your son??"she asked.
"ivory don't....how dare you drag my son into this-
---"
she smiled and moved back while stylishly fanning
herself with her hand.
"perhaps you should have thought of borrowing a
chicken eyes for your son..so he can at least
watch my OWN son taking place of the Kings
heart"she said and then laughed. Queen chiamaka
joined her in laughing.
Ivory suddenly stopped and rolled her eyeballs
wondering why chiamaka laughed,she wanted her
to get angry and hit her..she really want to push
her into doing something bad and frame her up in
the Kings presence.
"chickens are actually very vicious birds,I have no
idea why or how they are symbols of
cowardice"queen chiamaka replied instead. ivory
frowned and walked out angrily to the throne
room.
she sighed and followed her.
ivory took her space beside the king,she sighed
and sat at the last couch.
the king walked in graciously and took his seat on
the high throne. Charles and tochi walked in. no
one greeted,they both sat on different couch.
"I called this meeting because of blinks
company,the amount it generates is getting much
and without a heir to the investment am scared I
might have to start again"the king said with
authority,no one spoke.
"Charles am trusting you with this company but
you must get married first so the money won't be
lavished in frivolous things"he added
"married!! Charles said and rolled his eyes up. a
guard walked in and bowed to hand the king a
portrait.
the king showed the portrait. it was a well
photographed portrait of a beautiful girl. Charles
looked at it for a while,
tochi smiled. indeed,the girl in the portrait was
amazing.
"she's princess Laura,it is said that there is no
beautiful maiden like her in all 23kingdoms what
do you say about her?"the king asked.
"not good.she has no shine in her eyes,she doesn't
deserve someone like Charles" ivory said.
"why?? isn't she beautiful enough?.
"the girl will not only be Charles wife,she will be a
young queen too,there shouldn't be any reason to
point her out"....
queen chiamaka watched as they discussed and
conclude without her permission.
"fine.i will find another princess for Charles,
since you said this isn't beautiful enough" the
king said.
"you don't need to father,I already have someone
in mind"Charles said and walked out
queen ivory followed her son all in smile. queen
chiamaka left lastly. she was still worried for her
son who hasn't returned.
she wasn't even looking where she was going, she
bumped into the royal adviser,
all the files in his hands fell.
"am sorry my queen"
"umm no need"she smiled and bent to help him
pick the files.
"you don't need to,my queen"the royal advisor
said. queen chiamaka already bent when a
particular file caught her fansy.
*statement of ownership*
Jewels group and co.
charles-70%
Tochi- 30%.
she sighed and picked it up for the advisor. she
left.
.
Drema .
drema got comfortable with drema just on their
first meeting,maybe because she is the only one
he can see.
not this time,he can't handle being with a girl
again.cos after getting used to her,he will still
end up being alone....
that's why he came up with the idea of acting
poor...no girl will date a broke guy.
that's just the perfect way of making Chidinma
gets comfortable with him,
a perfect way of them not falling in love so none
of them will be hurt in the end, he just wants to
be happy. if he can't get happiness as a prince,he
will get it as a pauper.
"obim have you eaten"Chidinma said.
"no do you want some food"he asked.
"yes,let's go together"Chidinma said and stood up
from the rock she sat..
drema also stood up from the grass he laid on, a
diamond stoned chain fell from his hair. he was
lucky Chidinma wasn't looking,
he quickly wore his facecap and picked the chain..
"what food do you like? I like abacha(African
salad)"Chidinma said as the walk.
"well I like...umm..ab"prince drema stammered he
doesn't know of any local food..
"me too,I like the same food with you" he quickly
said.
"ohh..that's the first thing we have in common"
Chidinma said.drema smiled.
they got to the food seller place..drema leg
pained from walking too much.
Chidinma sat,he lined with other customers to buy
food..
"jeezzz I can't believe am doing this" he said to
himself. finally it got to his turn.
"two plates"he said.
"abacha how much?"the woman said.
drema doesn't understand the method of buying
food..the woman was the understanding type.
"mr,I sell from #50*the woman said..
"just sell what a normal person can finish" drema
said.the woman put salad in the two plates,she put
veggies,meat and fish.
"OMG...rockstar rema!!! a girl came to drema's
face..
"you're mistaken..maybe I just look like him" he
said,he carried the food and walked to where
Chidinma sat.
chidinma smiled and started eating
immediately...rema couldn't touch the spoon not
to talk of eating.
"you're not eating..this is not good on the first
day of friendship*Chidinma said.
"here,open your mouth".she added.
drema eat from her hand and forcefully
swallowed it....
"is this food really good for your health?"he
asked.
"hunnh"Chidinma said.the noise didn't let her
hear him clearly.
finally she drank water. unknown to drema, the
girl who recognized him already went to call her
friends who were current about celebrities.
that's him..
that's him....jeeezzz he looks like Rema
same height,same handsome face..
jeezzz someone check his neck,the tattoo.
the girls already got much....
drema quickly took chidinma hand,they both went
out through the back door.again, Chidinma didn't
notice,she only thinks drema took her out of the
restaurant cos she was done eating.
drema left her hand,they both walked down..
"I will escort you to your house"drema said.
"who will escort you back? am the only one you
can see right"she said.
"I almost forgot"drema said,they both chuckled.
drema tucked his both hands into his pockets, the
diamond chain which he kept there slipped into
the dirty water when he removed his hand.
drema stopped and looked in the water and didn't
say anything.
"it's five millionaire,I can always buy another
one"he said in his head.
"what's that??..
"it's nothing important"
"if you lost something then you should look for it
no matter how small it is"Chidinma said.
she comfortably walked into the dirty water and
started searching for what fell from obim
drema didn't still say a word
minutes later dinmma brought out the diamond
hair chain from the water,she was surprised. It
was a real diamond.
"actually it's...." drema tried saying.
"but you said you were....." Chidinma tried saying
too but, drema covered her mouth and hugged
her.

chidinma's p.o.v
without saying a word,he uncovered my mouth and
hugged me for a long time.out if surprise, I
dropped the hair chain on the floor,it was the
first time a guy hugged me,I felt familiarity in his
arms.....he scent so nice but he is suppose to be
my friend right?.
the other guy nkem came close from afar,I don't
know what he did,I felt a ray of light flash on
me.finally he came closer and picked the chain.
I let go of obim.
"that's actually a gift from my family and since
they abandoned me I felt it's useless keeping
it"he said. I looked away and ran as fast as my
legs could carry me.
I arrived home,I couldn't even think of madam
tamara.
I walked to the room nonso and I shared,I
grabbed another wrapper.Jeez I can't believe I
search into the dirty water for his hair chain and
he even said he doesn't wants it.
"why am I even concerned? I just met him today
and I am already digging into his past life..am I
okay??
I took off the dirty clothes and thmued the new
wrapper,I even wore my slippers wrongly.
Chidinma are you okay??
I scratched my neck as I wore it in the right way.
I tore out a page from an old book,then poured
ink in a flat plate.i remembered how the chain
looked so I drew it.
"maybe I should ask the Goldsmith the worth" I
thought abd folded what I drew but then I tear
it again.
"drawing this means I don't trust
him...chidinmaets give trust a trial" I said as I
trash what I drew.
I went out and soaked my cloth in water.i put
water in a bucket to bath. someone was there, I
waited for my turn.
"but why did he hug me? could he start liking
me...that's not possible I might end up breaking
his head"I said in my head.
nanza came out of the bathroom,I took my water
in.
Nkem's p.o.v
I laughed hard immediately Chidinma left. I
looked quietly in dremas face,he look sweet but
his Expression made me laughed more.
"bad. am not even a great actor"he said.
*
"jeez that was so close"I said.
"I tell you,some random girls recognized me" Dre
said like the gentleman he is,he bite his lips halfly
giving him that attractive look.
I laughed.
"is it funny"he said.
"anyways thank you"he added.
"don't mention bro"I added.
"but why are you saying thank you...I did what a
brother could have done"I said.
"yeah...this is actually the first time a girl who
doesn't know me did something for me without
trying to impress prince drema or gain any favor"
he said.
"you deserve it"I said.
"fine..where did you park the God dam car,my legs
hurt*he said and wore his face cap.
"over there"
we walked down and moved in the car
the AC was on,drema drank the whole water in
the can.
"tomorrow is another day"I said.
we both chuckled.
I drove straight to the palace,we arrived 12pm,
the time was far spent already.
queen chiamaka face softened immediately she
sight drema.
"I wasn't able to sleep..you kept me waiting" she
said.
"I'm sorry Mom,it's all fine"rema said and kissed
her cheeks.
"what about me that don't have a mother?" I
asked lowly.
the queen chuckled and Pat my head.
"bless you my son"age said..I grinned.
"I guess you are coming from Nora's place? " she
asked.
drema looked sideways.
"ohh you guys ain't over it--
"my schedule is so tight tomorrow" Dre said
another thing,I took him to his room.
Jackie's p.o.v
I still can't believe I was insane for 3good
months.i felt at ease when the royal guards
arrived,my mom(the queen) came alongside
we cried in each other's arms.
mother am fine"I said in screams
"am really fine"I screamed again.
madam Tamara came out.
"Tamara thank you... thanks to you may the gods
bless your healing hands"my mom says.
"iseeee(amen)"Tamara replied.
it was really a long night,my mother discussed
long with mAdam Tamara but I really want to see
that girl,the one speaking to me,
she healed me.
I rushed into the maids quarter,she wasn't just
there,the other maids were fast asleep.i even
uncovered their face,she wasn't still among them.
oh my God
what do I do??????
and I am not sure I will ever come here again, to
the part of this kingdom.
"my princess do you need something"a girl said
from behind me. Judging from looks she is a maid.
"what about the girl who served me food hours
ago?"I asked.
"how does she looks like? fair or dark? do you
want to give her something before you go,I mean
I can help you deliver it"she said.
"I want to meet her in person"I said
"she is not around,I don't even know who you're
asking for"she said and left.
"Jackie it's time to leave"my mother's maid
came.i sighed abd followed her. I deliberately
made us passed the window side, I remembered
everything she did. the consoling words,how I
bite her hand.
"you must be looking for something"a maid from
the healing house said.
"yes,the aunty that served me dinner. kindly helo
me give her this card...there are call centers in
Ezials kingdoms tell her to give me a call,I will call
the call center in return for better conversation
so I can get her"I said.
"okay,my princess"she said and took my card.
"that must be Chidinma,she served you" she
added.
I nodded she left.
I looked the window once again, a bracelet was
there.i picked it up,her name was even written
there "Chidinma".
I smiled.
"every Cinderella forgets her shoe,you're also a
Cinderella for forgetting your bracelet....I make
you my role model from this moment"
I smiled again.
"Jackie......"I heard.
OMG,I rushed out.

"my princess,dinner is set"
"are you sure you don't need anything?
"should we call the doctor??
"you're still not speaking"
the maids chatter at my door while I just sat on
the bed looking all worried.
it really means I will still be mad if that maiden
didn't come to rescue,I even had her hand bitten.
gosh! I feel terrible.
I fell on my pillow,I changed positions again.
"how did she do those things?
"Jackie remember... jeeezzzz!!!
I can't really recollect,but i saw a light shine so
bright on her wrist the moment she said those
comforting words to me,the light from her wrist
shine to my eyes and then I regain my senses.
but why was I the only one seeing the light? why
not the both of us???
"arrrghh this is just so confusing?".
I changed positions on my bed again.whatever it is
what her,I will find out.
a knock came on my door.
"who's there?"I asked.
no reply,the door opened and a maid came in with
a flat tray,on it was a mug.
"yes,didn't I say I want to be alone"I said.
"yes my princess but I guessed you will need this
since you like chewing chocolates bar" she added
and dropped the tray.
"where's nanny Alice?"I asked
"she travelled so am taking replacement"she said.
I took the mug.
"hanuel what the fuck is this!!!!!!
"strawberry sauash"
"is it?? why is it so watery and not iced? do you
expect me to drink this...why are you commoners
so stupid.
You brought me this without tying your hair, you
didn't even wear gloves"
"am sorry,it was because I placed it carefully in
the tray".
"and you still didn't wear gloves...have you...--
i paused.i remembered a commoner cured my
madness and I am here insulting another
commoner.
godddd why didn't my mother train me well.
"am sorry my princess,I will take it away and get
you another one"she said.
I carried the mug immediately abd drank it like
that.she was too surprised.
"hanuel...am...sooo...am...what I said earlier,I
didn't mean it...am"I sighed and hit my forehead.
I couldn't even apologize properly.
hanuel smiled."it's okay,I understand".
I returned her smile.

queen ivory's p.o.v
OMG! my heart just fell into my stomach.
I don't want to believe drema can really see or
could he be faking that shit..
"did he really see?"Charles asked.
I moved my face and walked out of the suite
straight away to the dinning where I stood behind
the transparent glass to watch.
the dream in which he imagined himself
seeing,does he knows what it's called?.
prince tochi walked in and say opposite to drema
on the dinning.
"Hy"he said to drema.
drema smiled back.i scoffed.
six maids walked up to them,I was surprised 5 out
of six focused more attentions on drema.
are they really obsessed?..
"my grace,shall I serve your meal?
"I really can do it...
"here...flower cakes,spicy rice...scrambled eg..
"it's okay,I will do it"Lila said and uncovered the
dishes one after the other.
she served drema fried plaintain and eggs, the
other maids served tochi.
can he really see now?
I sighed and left to the inner chamber where the
king sat with his cabinets,discussing.
"he must have the phoenix scar on his
wrist,that's so much power"I overheard.
what are they really discussing..
soon the meetings dismissed,I was left with the
king alone.
"you look sad"he said.
I let out more tears.
"won't you punish drema for what he did back
then,he doesn't even apologize and that's an
insult to me"I said.
his highness sighed and pulled me in a hug.
"what exactly do you want him to do,I hate to see
those tears stream down"he said.
I smiled inwardly as I let more tears outwardly
he summon a guard.
"send for drema".
"as your lordship pleases"
the guard left.
"that won't be enough,he insulted me openly, the
maids and guards were there,he should do the
apology openly,I don't just know what has gotten
into him lately.He doesn't have regards for his
elders and he always tries to take sides with
Charles...I really want you to send him out of this
palace"I said.
"not now"he replied
"really? are you liking him now"I said.
"oh no...his birth has brought nothing but shame
to my face"he says.
"then why can't you send him out or even disown
him at least the world knows you have only
Charles"I said.
"fine,I will disown him but not now. maybe after i
have gotten to the position am contesting for"he
said.
"that will take so long,what I needed was a fast
action,I really hate to see drema around" I said
and walked out.
drema walked in the hallway right in time.
ohh my goodness,that simply means he can see.
when? how come.
he passed through the other way,I followed him
in other to satisfy my curiosity. I went after
him,he suddenly stop to strain his eyes.
I cleared my throat and walked behind him.
"mother"he called.
"mother indeed"I said. he turned.
"you really put up such bravery at the dinning can
you really see or you are deceiving the palace"I
asked,this time softly.
he slam his forehead,I think he feel hot there.
I grinned.
"sorry son"I said and moved closer. I smiled
convincing enough so he won't think I want to
harm him or something.
he moved back and walked forward. I blocked his
way again.
"I'm sorry my son,I know am a bad step mother
that doesn't deserve neither your love nor
attention...drema am really sorry"I said softly
and took his hand slowly in mine,this time he
didn't jerk back nor move away.
"but drema,can you really see..." I asked.
"not like you care queen ivory...acting like a saint
is what you know best to do.
you killed Lydia the head maid because she
refused you,what on Earth .."
"what kind of person is Lydia? you shouldn't
believe what anyone said,killing fellow human is a
great sin of the world. I can't do that. I didn't
kill Lydia,I am not faking.
drema I just want you to trust me,
you can call me mother from now on
In everyone eyes,I am such a vicious woman I
can't do such a thing drema"I said,softly.
jeeezzz I hope he gets confused enough to tell
me what I want...
he took his lips in cutely and look in the other
side. I also can't deny his handsomeness.
"fine,am sorry for what I said at the dinning" he
said....
jeeez,my plan worked on drema.
I smiled back.
"I am not angry with you,afterwards we are
family.There is just something that hurts my
feelings,seeing you everyday that you can't see so
tell me,can you really see now...because its only
with your sight you can steadily become his
highness heir"I said sweetly.
"I have never thought of being father's heir and
you seem to concerned about my sight, are you
trying to sweet tongue me or what??
he said and walked away....
jezz,I felt an auora of hotness in my body.
drema stopped walking.
"the things about Lydia's death have made most
people disatisfied with you. in addition according
to my guards,an informant sneaks to see you
everyday...
to privately keep an informat is a taboo of the
palace,I hope you get caught and punished
earlier...
and mind your words and behavior,
don't make the world angry again with your dirty
characters,
lastly,my sight doesn't concerns you in anyway I
hope you learn to stay away,goodnight"
he said and walked into his suite...
"Dre....
he slammed the door on my face

Royal Palace Prince Tochi's p.o.v
I watched queen ivory almost close to tears as
she pressed the open button on dremas door
countless times.
i smiled...drema must have put her in her
place.This family can only grow in love if this
queen ivory is only eliminated.
"Dre...."she shouted
"rema"she shouted again
no reply,she rushed out.
really,just like that.
I cooked and walked up to his(drema) door. I
pressed the same open button,the intercom must
have beeped so I waited a little while.
"Lila"drema said when he opened the door.
"ohh"his pink lips curved when he saw that it was
me.Although we ain't close but we are close in our
own ways.
"do you need something?"he asked
I felt his eyes sparkle when he left the door.i
followed him behind after closing the door slowly.
oh boy! Rema really has taste,the room itself was
a paradise.
"welcome to my suite"he beemed in soft smile as
he laid flat on his bed.His teddy bear was right on
his chest as he browsed on his phone
"your suite is beautiful"I said. I poured myself a
glass of wine.
"care for some?"I asked,I took another glass
he moved his eyes from his phone.
"tochi why are you being nice to me? do you want
something ..just go straight to the point" he said.
"why? am being nice to my rema? I said.
drema chuckled.
"just saying...that's how Lila behaves whenever
she needs something from me"he said and joined
me on the dining where we took wine together.
He took off his sleeping mask. it was my turn to
chuckle.
"Dre you really look like a girl"I said.
"really,am three month older than you...call me
brother"drema said and knocked me playfully.
"drema"I said.
Drema chuckled.and knocked me playfully.
"call me brother"
"what,drema"I said.
he took my hand..
"ahh bro..brother" I said.
"better"he said playfully.i withdrew my hand and
rubbed where he touched.
*your girlfriend is really pretty"I pointed out.
Dre took the glass to his lips,he sipped in cutely.
"Nora right??
"my ex"
"your ex??? really?? how come??? you broke up or
she broke up"
"ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies" he
said.
"that's deep bro"I said and fell on the couch.
pictures of drema was all over the tv.
I was caught by the interesting headlines.
WHO SAYS DREMA JEWEL IS BLIND ?
THE INTERNATIONAL MODEL ISN'T BLIND.
REPORTING LIVE, DREMA JEWEL CAUGHT ON
CAMERA EATING WITH A COMMONER. WHAT
A SCENE.
WHO SAID DREMA IS BLIND AND PROUD ?
drema raised his head on hearing such news,
where on earth did drema meet with commoners?
am finding this difficult to believe...I mean is it
the drema that hates dirt.
the headlines continued.
I KNEW DREMA IS COOL AND REAL,MY
DREAM GUY.
ITS A LIE,I THINK IT'S A MOVIE
WHO KNOWS MAYBE THE GIRL WAS PAID HE
REALLY WANTS TO CLEAR HIS NAME ABOUT
NOT BEING BLIND.
IF HE REALLY WANTS TO PROVE HE IS NOT
BLIND,LET HIM PERFORM LIVE ON STAGE
WITHOUT MASK.
DREMA JEWEL EATING WITH A COMMONER
IS LIKE TELLING ME THAT LILA JEWEL WILL
WEAR A CLOTH LESS THAN 50,000 BECAUSE
THATS IMPOSSIBLE.
I JUST LOVE THAT GUY.
I chucked.
"what's with this news Dre"I asked.
"(smiling) this is good for me,finally this is going
to clear that scandal of people saying am blind.
Whosoever posted this deserve some
reward"drema said,he sipped wine again.
"what's the source?"he added.
"the source is unknown for now"I replied
"but is it true you eat with that commoner,how on
Earth did you meet?"I asked.
he stood up and walked to the window with his
glass of wine. I smiled and stood beside him,we
both admired the beauty of the sky together.
until we saw the retreating figure of a woman
crying out of the palace.Queen ivory came out and
pushed the woman who continue crying.
"this woman will never change"I grinned.
drema didn't say a word.
"leave!! leave now!!!! queen ivory shouted.
the palace guards threw the woman out as
instructed by queen ivory.
"Nkem,find out what happened to that woman"
drema said,his eyes already turned red.
nkem rushed out.
I smiled.
"drema you really care?"I said.
he left the window side..
minutes later nkem came in.
"queen ivory seized her properties"he said.
"why? why will she do that,seeing other people
crying,does that makes her happy?"...
"what's the worth of the property??"Dre added
"I didn't ask"nkem said and rushed out.
he came back again,drema handed him a check of
6million naira to give to the woman as a refund.
Nora's p.o.v
I had been crying silently since last two weeks my
fitness even dropped.it feels like something
valuable was removed in my life.
why didn't I treat drema in the good way he
deserve.That guy was so real yet I kept pushing
him away.
he loved me so much....I really hurt the wrong
person.
my phone rang,I checked the caller it was romeo.i
ended the call and text him instead.
don't call me again....it's because of you I broke
drema's heart besides there's no string attached
to that one night stand"I sent.
but we both enjoyed the sex--
he texted. I angrily smashed my phone.
the maids made a frightened look,I took the
stairs immediately. I got to my room.
rema was all over the news already.
waaaatttt! I took my phone,it was all over the
internet that he's not blind.
did he do surgery??
who's this dirty girl?
is that a shoot from a movie drema act in?
can he really see now? ohh no .
I took my car key and hopped downstairs. I
dashed into my car and drove straight to the
palace.
************Chidinma's house
chidinma's mother already prepared her
daughter's best food thinking she will be back at
night since today happens to be the seventh day.
Nonso was tieing the groundnut outside, when he
saw aunty Delilah coming into their compound he
dropped the groundnut and ran towards her.
"Aunty Delilah,welcome..
"ohh my god,nonso you're now big oo...
"am fine..
"where is mama?..
just then Chidinma mum ran down.
"am here oo my dear how are you
"am fine
"good to hear.
"yes ma'am,am traveling back already so I came
to take dinma along as I promised"
"eehnmm okay"chidinma mother sighed.
"my daughter will be back this night,hopefully I
pray Tamara releases her"she added.
"don't tell me Chidinma is still troublesome"
Delilah said.
"my dear .
they walked in.
"she will soon be back this night,please take care
if my dinma for me oo or it's better she should
not follow you if you know she will suffer"dinma
mother said.
"sure,she won't suffer"Delilah said..
"please what's the family name so I will be

"it is the Jewel's family,she will work as a maid
with the royal family,I will write it down for you

"eehh that wicked king hope my dinma is safe?"
"yes she will be".

Nonso's p.o.v
I collected the address aunty Delilah wrote, my
face still dropped down a bit,the thought of my
sister going to work as a maid is something I
didn't see coming.
will she ever be comfortable?...
"nonso,go and pack Donna's bag so when she
returns we will just leave like that"she said.
"eeehnnn"I shouted.
"dinma said it herself that she wants to follow
Delilah"
"but mum
"no buts,go and pack her bag.
"umm I will be lonely
"don't worry am here
"ok mom.
I said.i went inside and packed her few clothes by
the way,is madam Tamara not suppose to release
her it's almost 9pm.
it started raining quick that I had to shot the
wooden window.i returned to the parlor.
"in this heavy rain,is tamara really testing my
patience"mom said.
"seriously? what does that woman thinks she is?
how can she detain dinma for 7days, who knows if
she bribed the chief sef"aunty Delilah said.
"my dear,I don't blame her...I blame poverty"
mom said.
"only the gods knows what my daughter is passing
through in that witch house...in fact am tired of
shouting,my dear pls wait let me go and check
her" she added
"mom it's raining,I should go instead" I said.
I rushed out.
Nora's p.o.v
I felt better knowing fully well that he will
forgive me,drema won't move on so easily. In his
eyes am very vicious.
my driver drove in the palace- everyone's dream
residence.
the mansion speaks of quality,the king have
classic tastes as well.
"welcome,princess Nora"
"allow me princess"
"it's really raining"
like ten maids approached my car.
I moved in the royal coverage immediately,the
other maids dropped a pair of pretty flip flop
another bent to take off my heels as I changed in
the slippers.
OMG!! see what I left.
drema I promise I won't do this to you again.
I was led in gracefully by the maids...
instead of walking in the direction of the royal
prince empire,I entered the queen empire
instead. Am very sure queen chiamaka isn't aware
of what I did to her son,being close again to her
is the best thing to do for now.
I was ushered into her suite,
she was sitting cross legged on the black couch
and of course with a fashion magazine.
Drema was the magazine cover, she was really
smiling- surely the love of a mother is the
greatest.
"mother,it's a surprise" I said.
"ohh my God,look whom I have here..Nora my
dear"she dropped the magazine and smiled the
more,she pulled me in a motherly hug.
"I hope you came to spend some time with
rema"she asked.
"off course"I said in a fast nod.
"fine. the maids will move your things to rema's
room or do you want a guest room?
"oh no,I want to stay with you...I should be more
close to my mother in law"I said..
she smiled.
the maids attended me.
queen chiamaka was really the funny type.
it was night,best time to check on my rema.
I left the queen suite and took the hallway.
Charles passed the hallway at the same time.
"Hy"I waved.
he rolled his eyeballs up.
"Hy" he replied and walked away immediately.
I smiled and checked rema's suite,it was even
more pretty...
it just got classical each passing day.
I pressed the open button several times,no
response the door opened automatically. No one
was in..
everywhere in his suite was neat and well
arranged except for his phone and some some
bundled money roughly arranged on the couch..
Where can he be???
I moved out,and walked down. I finally caught his
sight at the back pool,the transparent walls give
him an amazing sight.
a neat maid held his towel and water can behind. I
passed back and took his things from the maid
"Hannah" was in her tag.
she bowed and left passing back,drema didn't
notice.
he swam too forward. I smiled and sat in the pool
chair.Until his phone rang,he swam back.
I already took the phone.
I shake water out of his hair sexily,he stopped
when our eye locked.
he picked the other phone which started ringing.
"Mr Kelvin??
"DREMA JEWEL galaxy wants to interview you in
the next 30minutes"
"all right??..
he dropped the call and called someone else..
"hello sir"
"bethel cancel all my appointments for today
thank you" he said.
whaaaattt is it because of me??
*ok sir*
he dropped the call,another call came in.
"what else again??
"what else...you just cancelled all your
appointments,are you sure you're fine?
"nothing am fine,I just need a break" drema said..
"okay enjoy your break,am glad you just walkout
of 30millionaire" I heard.
drema came out of the pool immediately.
I gave him the towel,he took another one and
walked past me.
"rema! I'm sorry,because of this one mistake pls
don't forget the days I always stand by you and
now that you regained sight,is this how you want
to pay me" I said.
he stopped walking.
I walked towards him and hastily hugged him
from the back,his skin glittered so much.
"I'm sorry" I said.
he unlocked my hands from his waist and walked
away.
"hnnn now,I have some hopes he will forgive me...I
promise to be more good. I swear I won't hurt
you anymore..."
minutes later,he walked out of his suite.
his dressing was somehow lame whichever way,it
suite him.
I chuckled.
why will he go out like this? he doesn't have on
his earrings,rings,chains nor anklets..
just his car key..
the face cap he used had no designs at all.
I was confused.
I watched him and nkem moved into one of the
Benz car. drema was the one driving.
are these two up to something???
Chidinma's p.o.v
I stood by madam tamara's inner chamber,a maid
was seen washing her feet.
"am done ma'am"I said calmly..
imagine I have been acting calm by obeying her
every orders without argument so she can at
least set me free today.
she is just something else.
"am really done ma'am"I said again.she acted as if
I wasn't talking to her.
"can I go??? I asked.
"to where"she flared
"today is the seventh day and .I....I...nne.
"have you filled the barrel with water? she asked.
"yes ma'am,I actually pushed them in the rain to
ease stress"I said.
she rushed out,I watch her pour all the water
away.
"you can go only after you fill these five drums
with water"she said.
"okay ma'am"I bashed my lashes and carried the
pot.Nonso came right in time.
I gave him signs not to interfer. we both left for
the stream.He also picked a pot in the yard
someone ran after us,I turned it was Aku she was
also with a pot.
"where are you going with a pot?"I asked.
"maybe after all you're worth helping"she said.
I smiled,we walked together.
"I like your brother....he is really a gentle boy,he
was brought up well"Aku said. although nonso
already walked forward.
with the three of us,we fetched the water real
fast...
finally,am free.
"I hope we meet again"Aku said.
"fate can move a mountain"I said again and
hugged her.
I picked the love letter those girls wrote to
obim.then I told nonso to go home,he left.
although I had to lie I want to go and see Hana
instead I went to the place obim and I usually
meet.
he was there waiting for me already.
"Hy"I said.
he flashed me a soft smile.
he laid on the neat grass,both hands at the back
of his hair.
I just sat quietly.
"so how's your sight??"I said,I caught his
stares...he look sad somehow.
he quickly covered it with a smile.
"better than before..."I said.
"your mood looks wired..not like the cheerful obim
I know"I said.
"maybe because my girlfriend broke up with
me"he said.
"hunn really???"I said,in a smile.
"is it funny"he smiled too..
"no,well someone is dying to be your girlfriend
someone that's even more well behaved,not after
material things...." I said and brought out the love
letter.
I opened them one after the other,I would have
read them but I actually can't read and write.
"read this first,the handwriting looks cool"I
said..he read it out.
I burst into laughter,he joined.
I really enjoy seeing him smile,laugh and happy.
"that's njedika,she's a dark beauty she wrote
that love letter begged me to deliver it,should I
call her for you???
"are you trying to hook me up??
"what else?? you just watch me go call her...." I
said..
"waaaatttt,it's not necessary" he said.
"it's necessary"I said.
"why are you so stubborn?"he said and took my
hand.i sat back..
"it's okay with time,I will forget her"he said.
"who?
"her- my ex" he replied.
he must really love her.
he wanted to say something,the other guy
came...what's that his name again? yes nkem
"obim,I will see you tomorrow and of course
expect more love letter your lovers won't stop
disturbing me" I said as we walked out of the
secret garden.
finally I arrived home..I just felt happy.
is it because of obim??
no,I think it's because of am free from madam
tamara.
"good evening mama
"good evening aunty Delilah"i greeted,my eyes
landed on my bag which was already packed
"hmmmmm!!!!! I said to their hearing.
"you said you will follow Delilah next time she
comes right?"mom said.
"okay"I said in little voice when I remembered my
promise.
nonso brought my food.
I couldn't eat,I stared at my belongings,I can't
live far away from my mother...and obim that
means I won't see him again.
"my daughter if you don't feel like going you can
stay if you're not comfortable about it" my
father said from his room.
he was even watching me.
"aunty Delilah is it far?" I asked.
"no,it's royal Palace...it comes with a fat salary
and you will be chanced to see your family once in
a month"she explained.
"aside that it's not work work everything, they
have time for resting,break and all that...work
there is from 5am to 6pm...you have the rest of
the time to yourself"she explained.
"okay"I beamed. that means I can still be seeing
obim and Aku and besides I will be chanced to
meet Hana in the royal Palace.
"I will go,I will work"I said and ate happily. after
which I followed Delilah out with my bags.

chidinma's p.o.v
I went out with aunty Delilah,my few cloths were
parked in a polythene bag...
I don't even know if I should be happy am leaving
or not...maybe it's my mother's health. Her
health is not always stable as she always needs
my help most time,now that I am leaving,who will
help her?
"are you okay?"Delilah asked
"maybe"I said in full spirit,I stupidly hugged my
nylon.
"put it in the car" she said.
I lit my eyes and saw a black car just few steps
from our building,we walked towards it together.
"get in"she added.
"umm okay"I said.and moved in,she entered the
front seat and started the engine,I quickly moved
out again,she turned surprised.
"Chidinma" she shouted
"sorry one more chance" I said and rushed in. my
mom was just behind the door,I hugged her when
she smiled out tears.
"promise me you will eat well mama"I said.
"don't worry,nonso is around"
"oh okay,I feel relieved now"
"yeah,it's a goodbye then
"bye bye my daughter pls don't cos trouble..
she said.i nodded and rushed back to the car.
..............
it was really a long ride,I even dozed off in the
car. by the time I opened my eyes an hour later
we have covered some distances we were now in
the modernized part of the kingdom,
everything was thrilling
the roads,floors,highways,everything
I saw the shops,stalls,everywhere was placed in a
high class order that I started wondering how
and what the palace will likely to look like.
...........
ROYAL PALACE
The king's p.o.v
"your highness don't you think it's time to choose
a heir,this thing is now taking so long we ought to
have known who will make a good successor"queen
ivory said.
"my dear wife,I know what to do"I replied and
took a bite of the apple.
"really?? what is it your highness???
"I remembered I said any of my sons with more
valour,compassion,kindness and emotions will
access the throne and be my successor"I
said.She kept quiet for a while.
afterwards,I signalled the standing guards,he
bowed as he squat beside where I sat on the
throne. I whispered some words in his ears, he
nodded and left afterwards.
(the healer by adesola adeomowole.m.)
not quiet long the two princes walked in. I smiled
at them my two lovely sons; Charles and tochi.
"here we are father"Tochi said in a very soft
whisper,he looks so cool and calm compared to
Charles even though they had the same striking
resemblance.
"we are here now right?"Charles said. I signaled
queen ivory to excuse us,she did.
"my sons,it's all because of a puzzle I still find it
difficult to provide a considerate answer so I
would love to see your opinions" I said.
"okay father"tochi said.
"sure"Charles rolled his eyes up.
"follow me to see for yourself"I said and stood,
they followed me.
I led them to the palace basketball court. inside
there was a high table and on the high table were
four wine glass. Two were filled with yellow wine
while the remaining two weren't filled...
"what's this dad"Charles said.
"puzzle I think"tochi shrugged.
"you can only move a glass once....so let's get down
to the question"I said.
"which is?"Charles added.
"arrange the glasses in the sequences; full,
empty,full, empty...remember you can only move a
glass" I said.
they glanced at each other then back to the
glasses,I curved out a smile.
"ummmm"Charles said and moved two glasses to
get the answer.
"no,you can only move a glass once"I said and
returned the glasses to their normal positions
"that's impossible" he said.
"I need some more days to think of a solution"
tochi said.
"really? some more days...okay you can leave" I
said.Charles left.
tochi bowed before leaving.He is really
respectful.But why can't they get this simple
puzzle? I taught my sons were smarts.
I shrugged and strolled to the fifth floor,I
moved down again and walked to the training
section..where I heard sounds of shooting arrows.
I stopped at a distance,it was drema shooting the
arrows.
good for him.he can really see now but that won't
still make me love him like a son. I stood at a
distance and watched him make several arrow
shots skillfully.
"my prince,you should try to aim at that point I
heard it's close to the impossible"nkem,the guard
with him said.
"ok...get me some more arrows"
he said and drank water from his can.
nkem handed him the arrow which he collected
and aimed at the point.
I doubt it if he will ever get it......
"that point is too high"he said.and strained his
eyes a bit then he released the shot.
"you hit the point"nkem clappped.
"that was terrible"he said and dropped the bow
with him,he walked out. I was quiet surprised he
hit the point
Chidinma"s p.o.v
finally the car pulled into an estate,
a very beautiful estate with so many fine tall
buildings.
the car stopped a few distance away,
we walked in after proper check by the
securities.
I was still amazed at everything,
the beautiful environment,
the dazzling garden that comprises of different
flowers ..
I could count at least 18 of such tall buildings in
the estate.
we moved in the third building which was a total
of three some mansion all painted white with a
touch of gold bars.
a large beautiful swimming pool was in the
compound. I saw a very pretty girl in the pool and
like six neat maids were watching over her..
I walked with Delilah till we got to the main
door,she walked in.i followed.
a maid attended to us.
"good day ma'am,how may I help you?
"oh am delilah and I want to meet prince Tochi's
mother"
"follow me ma'am"
the maids took us up..
jeeezzz is this a room.
the queen was a beautiful young looking
woman,she has a caramel skin like mine her dress
fitted her elegantly and she had numerous royal
bracelets on her wrists,on her neck was two
doubled gold chain.
"Delilah it's nice to see you again"
"yes my queen"
"good evening ma'am"I greeted.
"my dear..."she replied.
she faced Delilah back.
"I even wanted to reach you,I need like 6 more
maids. Tochi is really picky and doesn't like any of
the maids,he keeps firing them"
"am sure he will like this one"Delilah saud.
"what's your name?"the queen faced me
"Chidinma,my queen"I replied.
"not bad"she said and looked me from head to
toe.
"my queen Chidinma is not a random girl I
picked,she's like a sister to me"Delilah said.
"ohh really,I will make her more comfortable
then" the queen said.
"okay thank you
"you're welcome
"okayy queen I will take my leave"
Delilah left.
the queen faced me fully.
"so tell me about you?
"am 20years old ma,my family is really selfless we
are happy and contended with what we have,I
have a little brother whom I cherish so much
although I lost my elder brother when I was
barely 5" I explained.
"ok...what level are you in school?
"I didn't go to school....."I said,she nodded.
"but why? how can a pretty lady like you be an
illiterate?"she asked.
"that's how the gods want it for me...am equally
smart too,you can't judge a book by its cover"I
said.
"can you turn around?"she said.
"huhnn"I breathed in and did what she said.
"ok...
she placed a call and two women came in. they
were both older.
"Crystal where do you think I should fix
Chidinma? I would have loved her to be in charge
of Tochi's room but she's uneducated" the queen
said.
"or can she managed being among Tochi's maid?
she added.
"actually my queen,her being prince Tochi's maid
won't work,it's better she should stay in the 8th
building so she can stay with the other maids who
clean the environment"Crystal said
"ok...but I feel like she's clean and neat,I prefer
her replacing Tochi's former maid,Kayla" the
queen said.
"that's a good idea but prince tochi doesn't like
local people around,he likes his things done in
classic ways"
"okay,take Chidinma to the 8th building,show her
the room"
"okay my queen"
I followed the woman out.We walked in the
corridor then got to the hallways we cut across
some more maids,Hana was along but I doubt it if
she ever sees me..
ma'am Crystal walked to a particular door,she
beeped the open button.although no one came out.
"my prince should I get your dinner?" she asked
and was even bowing when the prince wasn't in
our presence.We only heard his voice through the
intercom device.
"no,am okay"I heard the voice,it was so calm,
sweet and soft.
It so much reminded me of Obim.
I smiled,I must be really dreaming

Chidinma felt that the voice was somehow
familiar,same softness,same calmness.
"oh my god am I missing him already? hmmm why
won't I respect myself he is only my friend!.
"younger prince youeaj you don't want dinner?
madam crystal asked.Chidinma composed herself
immediately.
"what's wrong with me?"she fiddled with her
fingers.
"I thought I made it clear"they both heard the
younger prince voice again
"am sorry my grace"madam crystal said,Chidinma
wished she could see the face behind the voice.
"rema seriously you won't eat dinner?" another
voice came up.that was prince tochi
"hmm crystal you can just get me some raisins"
"I will do just that,my honor" madam crystal
said.she bowed and turned away from the
door.Chidinma follower her behind.
"why do I like dreaming a lot...it's high time I
stop listening to love stories" she said.
"dreaming??? crystal turned at her
"ahhh sorry"she added.
she watched as crystal led her out,the buildings
were so big,it would take her at least a whole
week to memorize the in and outs.
"what's that your name again?.
"Chidinma"she replied.
madam crystal didn't say a word as they moved
out of the main building she took dinma to the
8th building as ordered by prince Tochi's mother.
Young girls in fine dress wrappers were seen
moving from one end to the other,they all had a
common maid beads,maid anklet so as to identify
each other.
The maids with black beads clean the out side
environment while the maids on white beads take
care of the inside environment.
On seeing crystal,each of the maids moved
forward,Chidinma was quiet surprised by the huge
numbers of maids.
"is she replacing one of us?..
"aaah did anyone go against the Queen's law..
"hmmm I think she's a new maid...
"quiet please we have a new maid"
"join them,someone will bring you clothes
soon"crystal said and left
"Hy"
"hey hey..
"welcome new girl
"am Njedika. call me Dika" a girl whispered to
dinma.
"Chidinma"dinma said in a small smile.
Dika walked her in.She dropped her bag on the
floor that sparkled like mirror..
"waow this place is pretty"dinma said.
the room went silence as a group of girls walked
in. The one who walked in front seems to be their
leader.She is dark,very tall,has nice set of white
teeth.
"whoops there is a new rat"Nina,the leader
said.as she moved around Chidinma in circles
Chidinma felt like staying with her mother would
have been better but then nonso needs money for
a brighter future.
"No way,Nonso mustn't end up as an illiterate like
me,I must strive to gather more money and send
him to the royal training school he needs the pass
card.He is my only brother he is worth my
sacrifice...."Chidinma mind raced
"what a rat? look here I am the queen in the maid
section,you kneel to greet me"Nina said.
"you know it will be dangerous if you and I start
on a bad record"dinma said and walked directly
pass Nina to a bed she choose beside the mirror
"here head maid asked me to deliver you
cloths"Dika said.
"daalú"Chidinma said and collected the cloth
dress wrappers,she selected the common one
then walk out with Dika to the restroom where
she got changed
"now you look like one of us"dika said.
"that bed facing yours belongs to hana"she added.
"hmm Hana where is she- does she comes here
frequently? she's my best friend I really want to
see her"dinma said.
"Hana is prince dremas hand maid"Dika said.all
eyes suddenly turned to her.
"whaaattt
"young prince!!!
"what happened to young prince!!
"any news about him!!!
the maids chatters.in no time they stood in front
of dika. Chidinma was surprised by the way the
girls rushed down.
"no news about him,just free me" Dika said.
Nina walked up to her personally.
"you really do not know how to stay on your
limits..no maid has the right to mention prince
drema name aside me and Hana" Nina scoffed
surprisingly the girls left to their beds.
"does Nina controls them.There are so many
drama's to behold here...I see.
This Nina girl is so full of herself...I won't spare
her if she crosses my path to look for
trouble..mama am sorry I will fail you on this
aspect although I promise to be humble of
someone looks for my trouble,it's a pity my body
doesn't tolerate disrespect."I said in my head.
"your last chance"Nina said to Dika.
"I'm sorry Nina pardon me"Dika apologized that
alone surprised Chidinma the more.
********************
Nora sat on the couch in her suite,she soon stand
up and moved from one place in her room to the
other...she really wished drema will give her one
last chance.
"I know I let you down...you believed and trust
only me,just me in this world but I failed you now
you lock up your heart against me? how else can I
tell you am sorry!!! Nora said aloud.
she wiped her face and walked out,straightaway
to dremas suite door.
she came right in time as the door opened to her
face.
the sight of drema blinded her sight for
seconds,it was as if a ray of light flashed. deep
within her she felt some thing magical.
Within one seconds everything came back to
normal in her eyes it was just drema.
he wore a red knitted cardigan then a dark
designer Jean,he looked too casual and even had
on a face cap.His other hand held his phone and
car key.
"drema!!!
"my love!! am really sorry!!!
drema looked at her once and just walked
away...Nora eye landed on his wrist,a clear mark
was seen there.
"oh my God!! she gasped.
*****************
drema on the other hand reached the secret
garden.He sat on the neat grass and waited for
Chidinma.He waited for so long but no glimpse of
her.
"has she forgotten today again! drema said..
he kept his hopes high that Chidinma will come.He
suddenly smiled when he remembered how she
duped him 60,000.
"Chidinma you're something else" he said in a
smile. he checked time again.

"I remembered I asked a question"Nora said.
chidinma fiddled with her fingers as she look
Nora in the eyes.
"are you deaf? answer my question! she yelled
chidinma remained silent,she bowed her head a
little.
"can't you speak??
"eeehnn I....I ..
"jeezzz why are commoners so stupid" Nora
sounded impatient.the presence of chidinma
suddenly irritate her.
"am sorry...I...I...I...mean..."chidinma replied
thinking of a lie.
"stop that nonsense and answer my question!
"actually am a new maid"chidinma said.
"and so what???Nora yelled.
"sooooo ehmmm so I just want to look around so I
will not get lost in the future,am really sorry I
know it's against the rules to go out at night,I will
leave just now.am sorry once again" Chidinma said
politely,she bowed and ran away.
Nora scoffed,she walked away with her two hand
maids.They got to the main gate.
"my lady"the security said.
"have you seen drema??
"he actually drove out an hour ago?
"ok did he take guards along?
"no ma'am,not at all.
Nora got curious. is drema seeing someone else??
"security,what direction did his car take?
"I can't really say my princess".
she walked away with her hand maid.
"where can drema be,he doesn't go outside not to
talk of mingling,something is really off".
"you two can go,I will wait here till his car comes"
she said.
"okay ma'am"her maids bowed and left.
****************
Chidinma entered the maids quarter,they all have
slept except for Nina who sat facing a mirror
arranging her hair.
She looked away when Nina looked back,she laid
facing the window.
It started raining,the room got so cold.
"obim must be in the rain waiting for me.He
doesn't even have a place to stay" Chidinma
said.she looked at the wishing star.
"Obim I wish you become rich and have peace of
mind someday"she said.the wishing star
disappeared.She smiled and slept.

Chidinma held both tray in her hand and knocked.
"I totally forgot that witch is in my suite"rema
said and left the door knob inside.He strolled
back in the room,meanwhile Chidinma knocked
again.Hana rushed to the door and opened it. she
was surprised to see dinma.
"Hana!! Chidinma smiled.
"you.....
"hunn am the one"
hana smiled relived. dinma wanted to enter, Hana
dragged her back.
"why? dinma said.
"hmm nothing,I will do it myself princess Lila
doesn't like others serving her except me" Hana
lied.she just doesn't want Chidinma to enter cos
she knows dinma is a type of girl guys will die to
look at over and over again.. countless girls in the
part of the kingdom where they came from
fought with Chidinma saying she stole their
boyfriend's.It happened to her also,her first
crush stopped liking her the day she introduced
him to Chidinma...
Hana was scarred she will lost in this one
again...she likes Chidinma as a friend and will
sacrifice so much for it but,there should be some
limits.
"are you alright?"dinma asked,she saw the
expression on hanas face.
"(smiling) nothing bring the tray I will do it" she
said. dinma gave her the tray.and went away. she
already reached halfway when the door opened
back.
she thought it was Hana so she turned again.
"Obim!!! her eyes widened but she didn't shout it
nor say it.
drema took the left side turn and hopped up the
stairway up,Chidinma couldn't move. she caught
the side view of his face.she wiped her face and
looked again.......his hand in the stairway rod was
adorned with royal beads all black in colour,each
of his fingers wore a sparkling diamond ring...
his earring glitters.
Chidinma got confused.
she couldn't even close her mouth.
"Obim!! the face and memory appeared in her
memory.She looked again,he already left.
Chidinma still stood her mouth opened.she wiped
her face again.
"Obim is tall....this person too is tall"
"same heights..
"Obim has tight dimples...am not sure of this
person has"
"Obim has a...ohh my god same side view..
"Obim is poor.....this one is a prince"
"Obim is...."
Chidinma stopped demonstrating when she heard
the door opening again but Hana already caught
her. she held "obim".
"are you okay??"hana asked.
"i...I..I don't think I am"dinma said.she really
wanted to cry but she wants to confirm first.
"whattt??? you look somehow"Hana said.
"hmm Hana that guy that came out of the room
who is he?? is he palace guard? dinma asked.
"palace guard?? noo!! that's prince drema, prince
drema,he's an actor and an international
model....he's the youngest prince" Hana said,she
rolled her eyeballs. despite her attitude they still
met.
"what happened,did he talk to you?
"hmm nothing,he didn't even look in my side..
dinma said. Hana felt relieved.
"thank you.i almost died of confusion"dinma said.
"really? why??.
"he kind of look familiar but am not quiet sure"
dinma said.
"you're mistaken...prince drema doesn't go out
there is no way you can meet him,not even in your
next life,I mean you are not categories you're not
qualify to be his maid"Hana said with bitterness..
Chidinma just smiled.
"I will leave now"she said instead.she felt hurt
her best friend insulted her because of a man she
barely knows.
she sighed. Hana have every right to act that
way,she always say I snatch her boyfriends and
admirers.
she entered the maids quarters.
ROYAL PALACE......Jewel's dinning.
the family was complete so they had breakfast
together and the maids stood by them and
offered each person what they wanted.
Charles sat opposite the king..while tochi sat
beside his mother,drema sat beside his mother
also, opposite him was Lila.
"dad you still haven't passed judgment accross
the state mens"chris said he picked his cutlery,a
maid served him specially.
"dad you came back late yesterday why?... Lila
blocked the question Charles asked.
"sorry I had to wait to meet other Kings from
different clans,it was really hectic"
"you really looked stressed up honey,that's why
you need to choose a successor"queen ivory said.
"yes senior queen you're right,the work is too
much coupled with kingship affairs"
"what can I do??
"least I forget king Damon sent an invitation for
his daughter birthday?
"sooo??? queen ivory said.
"that means they want to use our place for the
party"..
" also strengthening my relationship with king
Damon,we have one company together.i will make
sure to seal this relationship with marriage
between his daughter and one of my sons"the king
said. he looked at both tochi and Charles..
the two queens smiled and nodded in agreement
except dremas mother.
drema ate quietly without saying a word.
"then I need you to get a present for the
princess,I hope she will be well mannered" Lila
said she stretched her cup and a maid poured
juice in her glass.
drema smiled out dimples,Lila exchanged her food
with his own. he smiled and dipped his fork in
it,he caught his father's glare immediately,it
shows nothing but hatred. drema looked away abd
dropped the fork, he stood up and walked out.
Lila noticed it and ran after drema.
she rushed down,he was already by the pool
thought Mable stones in it
"sorry?? Lila said and held his hand.
"about what!??
"about dad"
"it's okay I have an endorsement deal bye".
Hours later........
Rose rolled on the bed,she touched her sideee,it
was empty.she breathed out and flushed her eyes
opened.
she remembered last night and couldn't help but
blush.
she wore the signlet which was as low as her hips.
"waoow am in my bedroom,Dre must have carried
me here"she smiled.
she picked the two notes in the bed side.
"six millionaire cheque".
"memory deleted" was written on a paper. she
looked at the cheque again she smiled.
until a knock came on her door.
"hi ma'am,I hope you had a good night,will you he
needing anything else???"she heard.
"I will call when I need something".
."okay ma'am"...
the waiter left and she kept the cheque in her
purse,she walked out to dremas bedroom.
.
he was zipping in two briefcases when she
entered.His physique was something that turned
her up again immediately.
she swallowed her saliva by mere staring at his
lips..
she wanted more,she wanted to feel drema in
her,his perfect male frame...everything.
she knows what they did yesterday wasn't a real
sex,it was more of a quickie and that was because
she took advantage of his emotion.
drema ended up pushing her away.
"thanks drema,I really enjoyed last night I loved
the way you hold a woman" she said.
"it was a one night stand right,no feelings
attached plus you took advantage of my
emotions"he replied.
"yeah,I know no string was attached but we
should do it again"rose said.
"one night stand happens only once...I did nothing
to you yesterday..you were the one remember"
rose smiled."you said you love someone else I just
want to know more ".
"seriously? am single,not searching.i just told you
in advance that I love someone else, bye" drema
said..
he opened the first briefcase and packed more
money she kept it on rose laps.
"I know the sex was nothing but can we still be
friends??"she asked.
drema left,rose stood up and admired his
catwalks till he was out of sight.
maids room/Night.
the maids stood in line to take food in the
kitchen.chidinma noticed everyone moving away
from her except from olive and Dika and she
wondered why.
she collected her food and sat on the same spot
with olive and Dika. The both of them didn't tell
her what Hana told the other maids about her cos
they felt it wasn't necessary.
"where's Hana"Chidinma asked
Olive coughed.
*sorry"Chidinma stood to get water..
Nina intentionally bumped into her making sure
that the water spilled on her.
"sorry I don't know you are coming"Nina said all
the maids laughed at dinma.
Chidinma got more curious.
I can't believe her background..
sooo her father is a carpenter...
you can imagine a groundnut seller
how did she get here..maids here are from the
lending family,the elites and not the borrowing
family.
she have just ten clothes..
I wonder how many pants she have.
Chidinma heard. she turned at Hana then walked
up to her,she really want to cry.
"Hana what is this that am hearing?"she asked
"is it not the truth?? Hana replied.
dinma rushed out.
Olive left her food and followed her,then Dika.
"don't mind them"olive said and hugged Chidinma.
Chidinma cried. the insult didn't pain her,she only
cried because it was Hana.
"it's okay!! Dika also said.
Chidinma wiped her face and walked out.
"where to?? Dika asked.
"to obim, maybe I shouldn't have told anybody he
looks like prince drema"Chidinma said, she rushed
out..
4hours later.
Prince drema was already there waiting for
Chidinma,he was about leaving when he sighted
Chidinma.
He smiled as dinma ran to him.
"sorry I didn't come for the last two days" she
said..
"it's okay"drema said and held her two hands, he
felt that was where he belonged.
they both walked down. Chidinma already forget
about the prince drema looking like obim issue.
she feel safe it's obim with her now..
she looked in his face..he had the same look.
they walked and talked till they entered the next
kingdom which wasn't that developed.
they got to the village square there and saw so
many fascinating things,drema was amazed
somehow be preferred this poor and happy life
than his life of a celebrity.
"what are they doing over there? let's watch?
Chidinma said.her and drema drew closer to the
crowd.
"it's a magic show I think"she said.
"magic?? is it real?? drema asked.
they watched.
"here is an ancient wooden heart test cup,I can
make it stand in the air"the magician said the
audience cheered. the crowd got much.
"hi pretty maiden" a guy whispered into
chidinma's ears.
"hunn"Chidinma said.
drema suddenly hold chidinma hand as if they are
couples.
"would you like some of this?? the guy said and
offered some big candies.
"hummm I...I...
"she doesn't want,if she wants I will get it for
her"drema said and took Chidinma away to
another side.
Chidinma chuckled
"are you jealous!!!
"am not,am protecting you as my friend" drema
said.chidinma smiled. she looked at where drema
was holding.
"waoow!!!
"waooow!!!
"is this magic real?? the audience cheered.
"it really stood in the air"Chidinma said. drema
bought two lemonade drink,he gave one to
Chidinma and held the other one.
"this is a heart testing cup that was used 2000
years ago..to know that you and someone is truly
meant for each other you need to hold each other
hand and shed a drop of your blood both in this
cup.
if the colour changes then you're meant for each
other and if it doesn't you're not" the male
magician said.
the audience cheered. Drema was really enjoying
the show,he never knew commoners have this
type of fun.
"drink your lemonade,obim"Chidinma said
drema tried opening it,he didn't get the lid
opening.
Chidinma collected it and gave him her own, she
opened dremas own and drank it.
drema smiled and drank Chidinma own. he doesn't
know what was there,he only knew it tastes good.
"can you tell that guy to stop looking at you?
drema whispered.
"hunnn"...dinma said.
"never mind"drema said..
"he is jealous"dinma said and suddenly hugged
drema,the guys stopped looking at her
she laughed to herself.
"there is a gift for any couple that comes to shed
blood in this cup...only if the colour changes"the
magician said
So many couples went out to try,no one won.
"the gift is pretty,I wonder what's inside" dinma
said..
"really?? drema said.
"no one won,who else wants to try??? the magician
said.
"it seems you want the gift"drema said.
"whaaattt!! nooo!!! Chidinma said,drema took her
out to the middle...
"oops there's another couple who wants to try!!
the male magician said. meanwhile the female
magician recognized drema as a prince..
"we want to try"drema said.
"hunnn is he your boyfriend??" Chidinma was
asked..
"hmmmmm...
"yes,we love each other"drema answered.
chidinma nodded.she was scared as they moved
close to the cup hanging on the air.
drema took a new blade on the stand and cut
himself small,he cut Chidinma on her palm small
too.
"ok at the counting of three,drop your blood
together. 1,2.....3...
drema held Chidinma hand,
they both drop their blood.

drema look in the other side and release his
smiles,it sent girls drooling.
soon enough the heart testing change its colour
from black to red. chidinma widened her eyes in
surprise,drema wasn't sure but he was happy.
"see.have you seen that?
"look,look at that"
"they make a perfect match"
"looks like they love over gold"
"they are an excellent match"
"

".
everyone clapped and threw them nice flowers
Chidinma wasn't sure if this is real magic or not
but she's happy she will be taking gifts. she
hastily walk to where the female magician sat and
carry the gift.
the female magician stood.
"it's all fake...the magic is fake" she said.
"whaaaaaatt"the crowd gasped.
"I said it's fake,this girl blood is fake it's not
pure". she said.
"hmm what's happening?
"this has been the best magic show ever
"how can it be fake???
dinma heard things. the female magician collected
the gift from her.
"it's mine now...I won"dinma said.
Drema watch Chidinma drag the gift with her.
"it's mine now".
"not yours,you didn't win okay come back next
time to try"
"it's mine...
"I said it's not...
the magician pushed Chidinma back,drema caught
dinma,dinma still wanted the gift so she ran back
to the magician.
"my people her blood is fake don't be fooled by
her"said the magician. she really wants drema to
think Chidinma is not meant for him cause she
already know he is a prince.
Drema took Chidinma.
"it's okay I will buy you gifts"he said.
"I want this one...just that one"dinma said.
the crowd watch the drama.
drema walked up to the magician instead.
everyone kept quiet..
"we did the test and the colour changed right on
front of everyone what the hell are you
doing?"Dre said.
"Absolutely true
"Yes,I concur
"they won the gift,no blood is fake
"if her blood is fake will she be alive
"I think the magician doesn't want to release the
gifts maybe because it contain something
valuable...she's scared of losing it.."
the crowd said.
"it's obvious we win,you must not say whatever
comes to your mind.You made promises so release
our gifts"Dre said.
the magician felt defeated for the first time in
her life.Everyone clapped as Chidinma carry the
gift.
Soon they were out of the show..
"do you like it?"drema asked.
"yes the coverage is pretty I wonder what's
inside" she replied.
"let me open it"drema said.
"(smiling) you want to open it okay,I don't mind"
she said.
drema stared at her sweetly.
"what?? why are you looking at me that way? she
asked.
"(smiling) cos you're beautiful whenever you
display madness" he said.
they both laughed.
"this place is really fun,we should visit here
often"Dre said,he pressed dinma hand softly then
kissed the back of her palms..
dinma felt butterflies in her tommy,his lips were
so soft on her hand.those evil spirit in her enemy
wanted a slow deep kiss even though she has
never gotten one but she has heard her friends
talk about things like that especially Hana.
They walked to a fish cake seller.
"i wonder how this tastes"Dre said.
"#500 per stick"the seller said.
Chidinma picked a stick and ate little,she fed
drema a bite,Dre collected the whole stick and
ate all.
"waoow commoners really enjoy a peaceful life fun
filled" Dre ate more.
the taste was different
it was out of the world. He ate and ate and ate
with Chidinma.
Chidinma came back to her sense she stopped
eating and counted how many sticks they've ate.
"close to 40....".
"aaah 500 for one...
"sir how much have we eaten? she asked.
"40....your money is 40 multiplied by 500" the man
replied.
"whaaaat??? 20,000!!
"Obim how will you pay? she whispered.
"I will pay"he replied.chidinma didn't want to get
into trouble.how will he get such amount.
"obim I know you don't have such amount,if I give
you sign make sure you run away with me" she
whispered.
"okay" he replied.
"obim 1,2,3....run"
Chidinma whispered and ran. Drema didn't run
with her. sure that Chidinma has covered a large
distance.He dropped a bundle of money to the
seller.
"thank you"he picked a fish cake stick and left.
"may the gods bless you sir...come next time to
eat more..."
drema was long gone. he caught up with Chidinma.
"I said run...you better than your star they didn't
tie you. cos they use to eat someone
here"Chidinma said.
Dre chuckled.
"let me see if they mark you"Chidinma said and
took Dre hand,his hand look so expensive even in
common dressing...
he looks like an already made guy.
dinma didn't want to jump into conclusion like
that... maybe this is her own version of prince
drema.
"so have you gotten a job?"dinma asked.
************
"silly girl I have hundreds of people working
under me"
*************
"ohh yes have gotten a job"Dre took his lips in.
"after all my wish was granted"she said.
"wish? what wish??? Dre asked.
"it's my little secret"she replied and ran away.
Dre ran after her and caught her by her waist
beside a car.
they both fell on the car for a second.
Chidinma felt a spark in her eyes,being so close to
obim. He almost kissed her but he was able to
control himself..
he's really disciplined,his parents brought him up
well...Chidinma thought.
"ohh my God this car is really beautiful. we
shouldn't stain it,what if the owner comes" dinma
said.dre flapped his lashes and moved away with
her.
"what type of car is that? it looks expensive"
Chidinma whispered.
"it's a Lamborghini"Dre replied her.
"hmm its pretty*Chidinma moved round the car...
a name was written on the plate number
it was signed "DREMA " officially.
Dre covered his mouth,he uncovered it when he
saw that Chidinma couldn't read.
"it's pretty,let's go"Chidinma said.
******
silly that's my car
********
they walked a little.dre saw that Chidinma was
tired of walking.He smiled.
"hop on"he said and squat.
"are you sure? am really heavy!!
she leaned into him..and intentionally touch his
hair.then she locked her arms around his neck.
He really scent nice that she almost slept.
Dre dropped her at the place they will part and
offered her a transport fee.
"I don't want,the fun is enough for me" Chidinma
said.
"really??
"yes"Chidinma nodded. she doesn't know what she
felt that moment. Obim told her he wants to tell
her something yesterday right...
"okay goodbye"
"hunn goodbye"she replied.deep down she really
wants a hug or another kiss at the back of her
palms..
jeezzz I think am insane.
"miss,can I get a hug?? she heard him.
"hmm yes"she nodded shyly.
Drema walked closer and pulled her in a romantic
hug.Chidinma relaxed in his arms.
"fine, bye"she pulled away and ran away.
drema chuckled and walked back to his car..

"mama I can't remember...I can't" Nina said. she
hit her head slightly.
"you really can't remember??? madam Tamara
startled.
"yes...I mean no...I mean yes....aaahh what's wrong
with me but have seen this before on a maid at
the palace she seems close but the face is what i
can't recollect"Nina said. why does mother seems
so I retested in the healing mark,is yet own
healing power weakened that she wants to take
another person's own...
"well mother let me go to bed,I will think over it
and definitely remember before the day breaks"
Nina uttered.she stood up.
"my lady your food is ready and served" madam
Tamara's hand maid rushed in with a wooden
decorated tray.
she placed the food gently on the low table. Nina
sat down to eat. She opened her mouth to take a
bite of the yam, madam Tamara quickly put a
round purple coloured substance that looks like
candy into Nina's mouth, it dissolves in her
mouth.
"mama!!! what did you put in my mouth.."
"swallow it first???
"mofe(mother)"
Nina spat out little blood as she swallowed what
her mother gave her.
"mama...
"Nina you're my daughter,I can't hurt you okay
calm down. You just swallowed yunn elix"
"yunn what?? Nina gasped. I don't believe in
magic powers why did you have to give me that to
swallow mother,why???
"Yunn elix is a rapid powerful magic,it has no
match at all except..."madam Tamara paused and
smiled.
"it takes only 14days to cultivate into your
system,by cultivation it produces the pure glazed
fire which I will teach you how to chant only this
pure glazed fire can make you drain the healing
power of the maid with the mark" madam Tamara
explained.
"fine but hope there is no consequences if I don't
use the pure glazed fire".
"No there's no effect if you know how to control
it but make sure you find the maid and help me
with her healing power..civilians are already
loosing counts on me since am unable to cure sick
patients".
"that's serious.i will try to help you with
everything it will take,after all a mother is a
mother"Nina said.
"you're capable,you really took after me. follow
me,I will teach you how to chant pure glazed
fire"madam Tamara said.
"yes mother" Nina followed her into her inner
room.
madam Tamara chanted the magic in Nina's
presence,it was really easy. within a blink of an
eye two shinning flowers with neon fire colour lay
on both sides of her hands. everywhere in the
inner room become soo hot.
"waooow!!!! Nina smiled. she doesn't believe in
magics but she finds this interesting.
madam Tamara breaks the chant. Nina clapped.
"hmm why are you just teaching me this now
mother,I find it interesting. if I had known this
since,I will always use it to defense myself" Nina
said.
"you've known it now but you need to be careful.
Pure glazed fire is really dangerous, it can kill as
well but you should use it a little bit"
madam Tamara explained.
"ok.trt to chant yours.i just saw how I chant
mine...
"yes".
Nina chanted her own.She got it right,she break
the chant immediately.
"but why is my own pure glazed fire not as hot as
your own???
"I just gave you the pill,it's not yet we'll
cultivated.".
"hmm am glad"
Nina smiled. she got so excited that she ran into
her room where she continue chanting pure glazed
fire.
soon she left for the backyard where she sat on
the bare floor to throw stones into the water.
meanwhile Aku also came out through the back
door with the card princess Jackie begged her to
send to Chidinma.
"should I meet with Aku now???
"what if she doesn't want to help? hmm what if
she collects it and bit give it to Chidinma??
jeez am confused and this is the only chance I
have--
I could have gone to the imperial palace to deliver
it to Chidinma but am a lowborn and low born ain't
even allowed to step into the royal estates..
hmm I'm really in a tight position.
Aku moved out of her hideout and walked up to
Nina.
"Hy"she greeted.
Nina didn't even look up.
"Hy"Aku said again.
Nina smiled and stood up from where she sat.
"hope you don't mind if I try my new found magic
on you" Nina said.
"hunnn"
Nina chanted the pure glazed fire and attacked
Aku with it...
"I....Nina what are you doing"Aku hastily replied
and blocked the magic with water magic.
"hmmm are you mad,remove the water magic I
want to test pure glazed fire on you"
"Nina why are you saying such things,magic is not
something you can use to do evil,magic is meant
for saving life's,it even makes life easier stop
this your nonsense. I can see you really lack
maternity education--"Aku said
madam Tamara came out that moment and break
both their magic,Aku fell to the other side
unfortunately the pure glazed fire attacked her
feet,she got burnt slightly.
"waoow it works,it really worked" Nina squeaked
and ran in.
Royal Palace....
maids room???????
Chidinma was in the cleaning the garden with two
other maids.She cleaned it dutifully and
sometimes admire the palace building. she really
wish she can enter inside again to see what the
interior really looks like but unluckily she's not an
inside maid.
she rushed back to the maids room..
Just then the phone rang. it was Tochi. Hana
rushed the phone like a hungry lion.
"hello your highness"
"kindly give the phone to the cage girl"tochi said...
"cage girl?? who's cage girl! hana asked
"I think he's talking about Chidinma" another girl
answered.
Hana dropped the phone,Dika took it and handed
it to Chidinma. Mary and the others smiled
carelessly wanting to hear what prince tochi has
to say.
"Yes....what do you have to say? Chidinma said...
"be nice,you're talking to a prince"Sandra said
lowly. dinma made a "so what look..should I kneel
down because am talking to a prince".
"I need Osmothetic wine with two glasses in my
suite"
"well am not an inside maid,Olive will--
what he ended the call,this guy is really trying me
oo.dinma said in a frown as she went for the wine
which she placed in a tray,she added the glass.
"I will be seeing the inside palace for the second
time in one month,maybe this guy is useful"
she entered the palace,no one need to tell her
she feel like she's in paradise. King Jewel is really
wealthy.
She followed the foot map route in the prince
empire and finally got the direction to Tochi's
suite.
She knocked,the door got opened by Tochi. He
was shirtless,the royal chest tattoo was bold on
his chest and arm...
Chidinma closed her eyes."what type of thing is
this very early in the morning??.
"good morning my prince"she courtesied she
moved in and dropped the tray.
Tochi closed the door but he still stood by it and
watch Chidinma from behind.
"is this really a room or a whole house on it's
own...."
she dropped the tray carefully and approached
the door where tochi stood.
"I need to leave my prince,thank you"Chidinma
said.Tochi blocked her way.
"No you don't need to leave,stay with me" tochi
said.chidinma clenched her fist angrily behind
her..
"What's that your name again??" tochi said he
left the door.
"Chidinma" dinma replied she touched the door
knob.
"That's not the order given by me,I said stay
here until I ask you to leave"tochi said.
"am my....my...." this people are really trying me
ooo.
tochi smiled. he watch Chidinma as he silently
gulped his wine.
"my....jeeezzz!!!
"your what????
"my menstruation just came,I need to go and
clean up"Chidinma said in such an irritating
manner. Tochi threw up.
Chidinma smiled and ran out.
She passed drema door and suddenly stopped,
have never seen this door open. is the third
prince really a loner???
she ran out to the maids quarter.
"Why doesn't his highness treat prince drema as
he treats prince Charles and tochi?"Chidinma
asked.
"if you don't want to get punished you better
don't talk about that again"cautioned olive.
"this is serious,I pity prince drema even though I
don't know who he is".
"hmm you don't need to pity him.He is already
made,if he wants the whole world at his feet he
can buy it.Its just so sad someone like him will
grow up without a father's love" olive said.
"waoow.Sometimes even the rich go through pains
than the poor do" Chidinma said.
"welll....
"I even heard he has insomnia right from
childhood up till now his insomnia is not cured"
"tell me what's insomnia???
"Insomnia is a disorder whereby one is unable to
sleep at night hours" olive explained.
"that's huge,even as a child he went through all
that.
"hunn prince drema stays awake at night right
from birth I know it's lack of father's love".
"that's bad but insomnia.... insomnia can be
cured"Chidinma said..
"well the imperial doctors said it's incurable"
"that's a lie,I can cure it just that the herb
ingredients are expensive. I will be needing up to
#40,000"
"really. You can cure it.Then be the first person
to take a step but there is an issue.
queen chiamaka doesn't play with drema,she
prefers using doctors than local healer and
besides no maid is allowed to touch Dre spoon not
to talk of what he eats or drink. I heard he gets
infected easily,even princess Nora isn't allowed
to stay around him always" olive said.
"I think we should forget about it"olive said.
"yes"Chidinma nodded. somehow Chidinma still
wanted to help.
"here head maid sent us to deliver something's to
madam Klaus"olive said. they both took excuse
from the guards who let them out.
they passed the market square.
it was really busy so many traders were seen.
Chidinma spotted the herbs she needed to cure
drema's insomnia in a nearby herbs store.
she looks away immediately. am I mad, why am I
thinking of using part of my first salary to buy
herbs for prince drema,someone I don't even
know.
she excused herself from olive abd finally find
herself in the herb store. she bought the herbs.
"Chidinma is this what you need for your brothers
education,you don't even have clothes you are
using your money to buy herbs for someone,what
if drema doesn't accept it?? you're just a maid so
was it really worth it....
if this is for someone like drema you will just get
hurt in the end" Olive said.but Chidinma already
purchased the herbs.
"hmmolive you're right but have bought it
already,I can't return it the seller won't collect
it again it's too late. I believe am just helping
someone. You were the one who said prince drema
is always struggling to sleep well and it makes him
look weak...
and if I make the herbs and he doesn't accept my
medicine,it's okay let's go"
dinma said. she walked in front. Olive statement
about her not having cloths really got her. what's
wrong with me am I stupid or what.i said I want
to save money for Nonso future but I already
spend half in a guy I know nothing about am I a
flirt or what?? how can I be liking and caring for
Obim and drema in the same way. she said to
herself.
"dinma sorry for what I said,I didn't mean to say
you don't have clothes I am only being concerned
you use 40,000 on someone you don't know. Am
really sorry but I don't want you to get hurt
trying to show kindness to the royal family. But
showing kindness towards drema Jewel is far
from it,it will destroy you dinma,he's too high...
we are way below him you and I are low borns so
let's just work like servants humbly the Jewel's
never tolerate commoners not to talk of
collecting help from them...
have you heard of prince Charles??
I want you to stay away from them,it's even
better we both are not inside maids" olive said.
dinma hugged olive.
"but now,the herbs is unreturnable...how do we go
about it?? she asked.
"hmmmm.....

dinma walked faster in front.
"done.over here"olive waved,both of them walked
in front.
"hmm I will find a way for you to prepare the
herbs,nobody should know about it you know" olive
said.
"pinky promise"Chidinma uttered,they did the bet
sign and both laughed.
"can we walk around before returning to the
palace,I really want to see the market around
here,it's dreamy unlike other 14kingdoms"
"sure we still have time"
they walked around the busy market admiring
things soon chidinma excused herself to the "pay
Porter" a place to deliver money to family and
friends.
she dropped the remaining money to the man on
charge.
"miss over here. 60,000 to who?"he asked.
Chidinma called her house address.
"is this address recognized,have not heard about
a place like this"he replied.
"it's a small village.can you still send the money?
it's my mother and it's very important"
dinma sollicited.
"you see miss,that type of environment is local
not so recognized but I will try after all that's
what I can do to a pretty lady like you"he told her
in a flirty voice.
"how many days will it take before the money
reach them??
"2days at least"
"okay,I will come back after 2days to ask if it's
deliver.Bye"she said and picked a card before
leaving.
"do you trust pay porter?what if it's fruadry"
olive chuckled.
"it's an organization,I'm sure the money I sent
will get to my mother"
Olive pointed to a girl's billboard across the
street.
"waow she's pretty
"she's princess of bian kingdom.
"waow but why's her eyeball fierce in this
picture...she's mean I guess??
"you guessed right. although I met her once at
royals,she's so difficult to serve".
"Bian kingdom,have been there once with Obim".
"now you know princess Ify right?
both of them headed to the palace.
..........
light opens in the maids quarter.
"I think the duty post changed,olive come and
take a look"dika screamed only to their hearings.
"do we have new maids"
"hmm I think so
"don't think so,what do you expect,all those
obessed girls that desperately wants to get the
job of a maid just to see Dre handsome face"Dika
said.
"seriously my duty post really changed but the
good thing is that am still with olive"dinma said.
"we are not together tonight look you are in the
kitchen" olive replied.
"hmm and I hate cooking. I better go"Chidinma
said.
"wear your cover up"olive dragged her back dinma
tied the white maid scarf and apron then she
wore the white glove.
"yes am also in the kitchen"Dika said.chidinma
removed her cover up.
"please you and olive should switch,we have
something to do together please".
"what are you doing together?"Dika asked.
"hmm please just switch,it's really important"
olive added
"sure I will switch what are we friends for"
"thank you".
olive wore dika's cover up.
"only God knows what's in between them" Dika
thought as both olive and dinma headed to the
kitchen.
"the herbs,how many hours will it take you to
prepare it"Olive asked.
"45minutes should be enough,it's a tea herb it
doesn't take much time"dinma replied.she
stupidly look up to the prince window in the
compound that looks like a castle.
"what's the dosage?
"a cup in the morning,one at night results should
be after 2days depending on his body
energy"dinma explained.
"hmm did you learn medicine?
"oh yes,I learnt it accidentally. I was troublesome
while growing,my mother always send me to my
grandmother each time I disturb...then my
punishment was to go around searching for
herbs,cooking them and even refining
medicines"dinma said.
"waow,I always want to learn medicine but I never
had the chance"
"what are you both talking about? they heard a
Stern voice from behind.
"madam crystal!!
both of them ran away to the kitchen,common
maid servants do not touch royal foods, they help
in cleaning instead.
"after 10mins,pass the back door and go behind
the garden have set everything for the
herbs"olive gave Chidinma sign.dinma
responded.she turn to the dishes and washed
them carefully.
Opposite her was a maid in a neat check
uniform,dinma admired her cooking skills even
though those foods were unfamiliar to her.
the head maid turned to the other side,dinma
quickly rushed out to where olive told her.
Meanwhile olive left her position and took over
where Chidinma was before.
...........
"why do I feel happy helping someone I don't
know" Chidinma was happy,she already saw three
logs of firewoods,a pot,the herbs was on the neat
rock just behind the garden.
"olive you're really smart,no one will suspect
here"she sighed and arranged the firewood she
lit the fire soon and placed the wooden pot
containing clean water to steam.
after picking the herbs,she rinsed it and covered
it in the pot to steam into a green tea. she
loitered around as she waited for it to be done.
she got tired standing and then sat on the rock
one moment she would open the flower barrier
and admire the palace.
"I really don't know why am helping you,it's okay
if you don't take it. I know you won't,cos you
really have class...it's okay maybe am stupid by
caring a lot for strangers".
"it's almost done right?"chidinma heard an
unfamiliar voice,she turned surprised to see Dika.
"hmm its not what..Dika it's..
"I won't tell anyone I promise. I promised olive
also,we are friends right?"Dika asked.
Chidinma took her wet lips in.
"sorry,I just.....
"fine, insomnia bothers third prince so much but
no one has ever taken a bold step,am glad you did.
I hope this helps,you should put the medicine
inside here"Dika brought out a flask.
"hmm thank you"chidinma smiled and collected
the flasks carefully.
"you're wlc.the flask is mine,I bought it but have
never used it anyway"Dika said.
"be fast before the head maid start suspecting
your absence"she added and left.
chidinma nodded and put the medicine in the
flask. she cleared the place and rushed out.
"now how do I give it to him"
her mind drifted to tochi.
"miss why are you standing there are you not
suppose to be in..."
"am sorry" she rushed out.
"our duty is over" olive said.
"okay,let's go"
the three of them returned to the maids
quarter.they sat round dinma bed.
"did you managed to prepare the herbs?
Dika asked.
"yes I did"dinma replied and dropped the flask
"how do we deliver it??
"yes,I think prince tochi might be of help since he
likes seeing Chidinma around"Dika said.
"no.i don't think that will work,Tochi might think
otherwise...he might think something is going on
between dremma and Chidinma" olive replied.
"true but tochi is still our only hope".
"hmm I don't think so.lets find another
alternative"dinma said.
"Tochi asked you to be friends with him right, it's
not a big deal if you ask him for this help" Dika
said.
"True"...Olive stood up and acted chidinma's
voice.
"good day my prince,hmm have really thought
about your request and I...I...I..want to say yes to
being your friend,just friend"
"is that difficult??Tochi is really a playful person,
he is kind too" Dika said.
"okay let me try" dinma said and left with the
flask..
soon she entered the prince empire.
"am I really doing this???
she hide behind the glass war when she sight
maids moving in a row. She peeped again,her eyes
caught prince dremma.
"my honor"
"my prince"
"your highness"
the maids who were walking in the other direction
all bowed. They rise immediately dremma was out
of sight.
**********************
"sometimes I loose my mind,why do I always feel
her around like she's really close? whatever am
confessing to you this night,I hope you will show
up".
drema turned,Chidinma hide in her hideout.
she came out as dremma left.
"that was so close".
she approached prince tochi suite and knocked.
No reply,I don't think you're around.
Chidinma left.
She walked down and came across a delivery door.
"can tochi be inside??? she thought.
"miss excuse me"someone said.
"sorry"she said and moved out of the way
"this is prince Charles suite do you have anything
to report??
"ohh nothing"she quickly replied.
"I think I need to give dremma by myself the
least he can do is saying he doesn't want"
Chidinma adjusted her cover all and walked
upstairs.
the gold inscription showed drema's name on the
door boldly. She was lucky there wasn't any guard
there yet.
"ohh god save your daughter".
she knocked.no reply.
she knocked and knocked,no reply.
"how do they open this door hunn? which one will
I press, green or red??
hmm...she almost pressed the green.
"hunn I think it's this one"
"no,I think it's this one"
"jeezz,it should be green"
"or I should press the two at the same time??
Chidinma almost pressed the two..
until the door opened to her face

"one moment please,"
Chidinma heard then the door opened to her face.
It was a guy with am unfamiliar face but she
guessed him to be prince drema's guard or
assistance cos he doesn't even dress like a guard.
She instantly hide the flask behind her back.
"good evening sir"
"ohh it's a maid servant" the guy, Stanley said.
"sorry wrong room".
she tried walking out, Stanley drew her back.
"I don't think it's the wrong room".
"it's really the wrong room, bye"
"are you a spy? what do you have behind you?
"well nothingggggh
"I think you are a spy,what's that thing behind
you??
"no it's not yours
Stanley chuckled,he find Chidinma funny
already,he turn around Chidinma and took the
flask from her. He walked into dremma suite
chidinma ran behind him as he closed the door in
drema suite. she tried snatching the flask from
him,he throw it to his other hand, Chidinma left
him in surrender,he opened the flask and smiled.
"can you girls stop stalking prince dremma's room
already??
"what?? that's a tea herb,it cures insomnia telle
how does kindness turns into stalking" dinma
said.she felt the air around her was different.
that was when reality jolts her.
she was in the prince living room.
everywhere in the room was cold slightly..
the phosphorescent lights were dimmed and so
romantic.
the stairs leading upstairs had golden bars on the
rods..
the floors were something else.
oh boy!! was this a whole house on it's own.
she blinked her lashes and walked out of the suite
so she won't get carried away.
"may god save drema from all this women,who
knows if it's poisoned or she put do as I say
charm inside?"Stanley said as he scented the tea
herb.
"what smell is this??
"I think I smell honey.......
"hmm what's ziza grass smell doing here, smells
like sweet fragrance..
"shanyoles grass
"holy heavens how did that maid afford this,did
she use up all her savings" he said to himself.
He dropped the flask
"whatever"he picked it up and walked upstairs
with it.
"boss"he took his lips in.
"come in"he heard,he opened the door.
drema already changed his dressing,he deeper
the white band in his hair.
"tell me"he said.
"one of the girls drop this,she calls it insomnia
tea"Stanley responded.
"a maid servant?? insomnia! I told you and nkem
not to collect anything from those girls right???"
Dre said without turning.
"am sorry my prince,I will dispose it" Stanley
replied.
"stop"
stanley stopped...
"drink out of it"Dre said.
"I...I....okay boss"Stanley replied.he filled the
flask cover halfly and drank out of it.
"it's bitter"Stanley said,Dre looked at him he
swallowed it forcefully.
"let's see what happens in the next 7hours".
...................
meanwhile chidinma was still standing behind the
garden waiting to see if Stanley will pass or come
out.
like she predicted,he came out.
she rushed him.
"hi,did you deliver it? she asked.
"no,I drank it instead. Hope it's not poisoned,
next time don't bring stuffs again"he replied and
walked out.
"I really wasted my money,what was I thinking
that he will accept it.my money just wasted"
Chidinma frowned.she returned to the maids
quarter.
"why am I even angry,not like am expecting
something in return right?? maybe am angry
because if the money I wasted.
"how was it?? was it delivered?"olive asked.
Chidinma nodded negatively.
"I guessed right"Dika said.
"let's just forget about it,I was only trying to
help"dinma said.
"is the back door opened"dinma quickly changed
the topic
"yes".
"okay".
they are breakfast together.
"I haven't seen Nina and Hana??
"they are in the 5th building"
"no wonder here is calm"
Chidinma didn't eat.
"if it's because of the money you wasted,forget
it...I will give you 20k so that we will both share
the loss".olive said.
"am okay,its just...am thinking of something.I
think I should be going now,today is Thursday
right?". Chidinma left, she bath and changed her
dress.
.....................
Light opens on Nora.
She sat in the palace guest room doing nothing in
particular. So many things ran across her
mind,her friends will laugh at her if they know of
her situation...
She walked out.
"my dear have been expecting you"queen chiamaka
said.
"really am here mother"she replied.
"drop this for rema"
"okay"
Nora smiled.she picked the tray and headed to
dremas suite.
she entered without knocking,the room was
empty. the plasma tv was on.It was even on news.
DREMA JEWEL CAUGHT ON CAMERA
HUGGING A COMMONER NOW WHO SAID
DREMA JEWEL IS FULL OF HIMSELF
Nora dropped the tray.
it's really drema in the news but who's that girl
Nora checked well,the source of the news is
unknown yet.
"isn't this a movie,I mean drema can't do this"
she walked out and bumped into Stanley.
"where's prince drema?? she asked.
"he went out just now"
"okay"
Nora walked out,she came out right in time,
drema just drove out.
she entered her car and trailed him behind.
................
meanwhile drema packed his car in the normal
spot.He stepped out and beeped his car locked.He
walked down to the place he usually waits for
Chidinma.
"where is he going? is this the place he comes
every Thursday and Sunday night" Nora also came
out of her car.
"this place is too local,what's Dre going in this
type of place???
"it must be that girl??
"whoever you are,just pray I do not find you
tonight!!!
nora also mixed in the crowd,she lost sight of
drema as she didn't get where he followed.
she kept on searching..
*******************
drema waited patiently,soon Chidinma arrived in
the spot.
"you came earlier"she said.
Dre quickly took her hand,they both walked
down...
"there's a lantern show there,let's watch it"
Chidinma said.
"okay"Dre replied. I really want to confess to you
tonight.
"it's so beautiful"Chidinma giggled.
"how did you find this things here?
"hmm don't talk again,it's pretty,I love the sight
but why is that flower lantern hideous?" Chidinma
asked.
"I think that's the most beautiful phoenix
flower"Dre replied.
they left the show and went else where, dinma
was enjoying her self meanwhile drema was
thinking of a way to confess to her.
finally they settled in a quiet place.
she opened her drink,
rema looked at her.
"why are you starting at me??
"it feels great to stare at you"..
"hunnn
"never mind.
"i was actually sad before, I lost money and it
really pained me"she said.
Dre paused his drink."how much??.
"Not really lost but I think that's what is good
for me cos he didn't send me"dinma said.
"he?? I don't understand"Dre said.
"hmm its prince drema,you know him right.. the
third prince of the jewel"dinma said.
drema choked on his drink
"Prince drema??" he said.
"Yes,anyways I don't blame him"dinma said.
drema looked at her with love. silly girl prince
drema is sitting right beside you.
"what about him? what did he do to you? I hope
he didn't hurt you"Dre said.
"don't worry forget it"dinma said.
drema smiled.
"you really don't want to tell me"he said.
"I was only trying to help cos I heard he has
insomnia so I used 40k out of my salary to
prepare him tea herb not knowing I wasted my
money and energy"dinma explained.
the drink Dre was holding dropped.
"you are also shocked right"dinma asked.
"you work in the palace???"
"yes,didn't I tell you"dinma said.
"huunn I shouldn't have helped him"she added.
"He might be cautious of something,dont blame
him too much"drema said.she works in the
palace,no wonder I feel her scent sometimes.
"have forgotten about it"dinma said,she stood up.
drema stood up also,he suddenly held her back.
"i wanted to say something"he took his wet lips in.
"what??"dinma asked.
"can you date a poor guy like me??".
"but......"Chidinma paused and look in his eyes
"but what??
"but am still working in the palace,I am so
occupied,we won't be allowed out as from next
week and.....
"if your maid job doesn't exist will you still marry
me??"he asked.
Chidinma looked in his eyes,her heart beat was
something else already. it was as if drema was
using charm on her,every where on her body was
sweeting her.
she looked away shyly.
"I will talk to my mom first so that she can stop
giving other guys hopes. when the times comes of
course I...."Chidinma paused she took her hand
away from him and the electric shock of love
reduced.
no words between them. just stares.
"can you stop looking at me"she said.
"what will happen then if you talk to your
mom?Dre asked.
Chidinma turned to avoid looking in his eyes so
she won't say what she's not expected to say.
"when the time comes of course am willing to
marry you"she said.
Dre moved closer,he was still surprised she
agreed to his proposer even though he acted
poor.
"repeat what you just said" he added.
"I said when the time comes of course am willing
to....
drema hugged her from behind,he locked his
hands around her waist then lean to kiss her.
Chidinma eyes widened,
the lemonade drink fell down from her hand
her eyes were widely opened.
Drema unlocked and look in her face.
Chidinma looked around and wiped her eyes
her mouth was still open.
drema looked at her quietly for a while and smiled
again then he lean in and kissed her again..
he unlocked and locked into the kiss.
chidinma's heart was on fire,
she became steady by force as drema deepened
the kiss.
he trailed the kiss to her cheeks then to her
neck.He went back to her lips,kissing her slowly
like he was taking ice cream.
she responded to the kiss slowly.
drema unlocked and took the back of her palm
where he kissed.
"promise me you will be good to the prince" he
said.
"hunn..okay but it's because of you"dinma said
drema smiled and kissed her again.
"I got this for you,if you lost it you're in trouble"
he fixed the hair chain in her hair and kissed her
again.
Nora showed up in the midst of their romance but
it was so dark that she couldn't see their face.
"Drema!! she shouted as she tucked in her hair
behind her ears,the noise was something else plus
she was in a crowd.She only sighted them from
afar.
"Drema!!! she shouted again.
Oh god.

Nora's eyesight reduced.
she walked closer and hide 5cm behind the
nearest tree still she couldn't capture chidinma's
face,only her backside was seen by her..
drema turned slightly,Nora moved in and hide
well.
"it's cold come over here"drema's voice said
Chidinma chuckled and rested her head in
drema's chest as they kissed again. drema
deepened the kiss into her neck where he kissed
tightly.
whaaaaaaattt. Nora clenched her fist.
I thought...what the- how come- what
am so confused
is this drema
who is this girl?
what nonsense?
she hastily ran out of her hideout with both
hands on her face,she leaned on her car for a
while then drove off.
oh no...I lost drema
what I was scared of happened
what can I do now??
won't I be laughed at?
drema you can't leave me and choose someone
below me,I won't let go.
she stopped the car to the side of the street and
wiped her tears.
she stepped out of her car and walked back to
the place.unfortunately drema and dinma left.
She saw a woman selling lemonade nearby.
"excuse me madam"
"my pleasures my princess but what are you doing
in this type of place? you're bian kingdom
emperor's daughter right or am I dreaming"
"I am actually..you're right"
"my pleasures my princess"
"that aside,what about the two guys sitting here?
"they left just now"
"where???
"hope no problem? they took left direction.
"do they come here frequently?
"humm
Nora scoffed and took the direction the woman
told her.
............
meanwhile drema and Chidinma already walked
down.dinma couldn't help staring at drema while
he walk.
"I can't believe,he confessed his love to me am so
happy"she said to herself.she stupidly thought of
the kiss,he was so romantic.
"honey we are there..
"the mall?? Chidinma asked.
drema took his face cap and covered his face as
they walk closer
Chidinma still stood outside the mall looking at
the big door and the security standing there.
"come on lets go"drema said.
Chidinma ran behind him,they walked into the mall
and soon rema headed for the health area.
"are you sick?"Chidinma asked him
"no. not do I look sick?
a man came forward to attend to them.
"I need something that can ease stress?...
"but you don't look stressed"Chidinma said.
"I can give you astymi....it's just 10,0
"don't call the price..
drema took the drug from the man and they
walked away then he handed the drug to Chidinma
"what...why are you giving me this?
"I bought it for you"Dre replied.
"whaaaaattt
"stop screaming you must be stressed after using
firewood to prepare herb for the prince,the
firewood can get your hands infected so apply
this on your hand while you drink this...."
"whaaaatt
"are you listening?
"why obim this is too...
rema touched her forehead in a caring
manner."hey stop you're troublesome am the one

"what? I didn't tell you am sick right,am

drema and tried rushing back to the health
center but drema took her back.
"hey stop you're troublesome
"ok ok let me go I won't return it"Chidinma said.
"ok let's go"Dre replied
just as drema left chest dinma,dinma tried
running into the health center again drema rushed
after her and took her hand .
"OMG stop you are embarrassing me(he looked
around) people will recognize me here"
"you say what?
"nothing"
"just let me go,let me return this drug,this money

"don't bother I already paid"..
"all right let's go,I won't return it

"okay I accept the gift now ,so let us go" she
tries rushing out drema drew her back like a little
child till they got to the botique section.
"pick what you like
"ok
she walked about but she didn't pick anything she
was busy checking the price tags.
soon a particular gown caught drema's eye it was
black and pretty.
he picked the gown and headed over to where
Chidinma stood.
"what do you think? pretty right?
Chidinma took the cloth from him and instantly
checked the price tag "60,000".
Chidinma shouted "what"
"try it out".
"hunn"she check the price tag again
"well its too bright,thank you"
she hastily hanged the gown.
"try it out please"
Chidinma took the gown from him and headed for
the dressing room later she came out wearing the
gown she looked beautiful.. drema was woawed he
checked her out carefully... she was indeed
beautiful.
drema picked more clothes for her.
"can't you see the price tags,don't finish your
money and get trapped in this place" dinma
said,drema smiled and kissed her cheeks.
"what's funny??
"but my money can't possibly finish.okay I will
pick cheap ones"Dre answered.
Dre picked every single female cloth that caught
his eyes.
they went to make payment.
"how much?
just then he remembered the money might cause
Chidinma to faint
"umm don't worry just collect the cost" drema
said and handed over his credit card which the
girl returned to him.
"you look familiar sir"
"no I don't"Dre replied
"if not for one thing I would have said you are
drema jewel...
"really,are you sure"Dre asked.
he walked out with Chidinma....
"thank you,I like them but next time don't buy me
more cloths you need to save,when you have a lot
money then you can start buying anything for me
this is too much for a start"she said.
Dre held her hand well. finally they walk to where
they will part.
"take care of yourself,okay"
Chidinma walked away.
.............
unluckily for her the palace gate was locked.
jeeezzz.
she turned to pass the back gate which she
guessed wasn't unlocked. unfortunately it was
also locked.
"has the time passed?? it's not 9pm right, this is
just 8:54??
she knocked,the gate was strong no one will hear
so she used a nearby stone to knock.
She knocked and knocked she soon stopped. the
door was opened by Nora.
"good evening"dinma said
"am sorry I won't stay out so long although it's
just 8;54" she added and wanted to walk in. Nora
pushed her out,
she looked at her cloth and recognized her as the
girl with drema.
"was I wrong?" dinma said.
"it's not 9pm already" she added. Nora slammed
the door on her face...
dinma continue knocking.
"you're fired" Nora said.
"I didn't do anything wrong...neither...
She reframed and left the back door to the main
gate.It was still locked.
"is this also Nora doing? that girl is miserable"
she said to herself and continue knocking with a
stone. Until flashlight from from a car flashes on
her from behind..
She turned,it was Charles.
Charles was also surprised to see her.
"welcome your highness"Chidinma said and
collected her face immediately.
Charles step out immediately she collected her
face,his guards followed him from behind..
dinma shifted away from the gate but instead
Charles opened the gate for her.
"get in" he said.
"hunnn"
Charles opened the gate well for her..
"thank you"
Chidinma entered."why did he help me??

now,enjoy..
Charles stared at chidinma's retreating figure
like a lost sheep.
"when last did I stare at a woman like this? he
said to himself,his eyes won't just give up.
Instead of seeing a maidservant in a piece of
simple clothing,he saw a beautiful model on a
night walk. her perfect curves were beyond
perfection,her steady footsteps,her elegance,
her lifted high chin bone,the sexy rhymth of her
hips,everything drives him crazy.
"my prince..."the body guard by his right clears
his throat.
Charles darted his attention.
"You.....you are still waiting outside,the girl is gone
already".
"you really don't know when to talk and when not
to disturb,I will fire you later"
"Ethan find out about that maidservant later"
"bring in the car too
Charles walked in full spirited.
the maids bowed in a roll to welcome him, they
rose as he walked into the prince empire straight
away to his suite.
"the other maid servant told me she's dead
right?...does it means she survived the snake
bite...and when she survived,why didn't she
report back to me"
"I still don't get it,that girl doesn't look like
someone who escape death. (sips in wine from his
glass)
"maybe she lied to me"
"impossible how can she lie to me "a prince" did
she wants to get herself into trouble for
defamation
"some ladies are always jealous of each other
maybe she doesn't want her friend to meet me
the crown prince...how can this be"
Ethan rushed in.
"shoot
"queen mother wants to meet you she's worried
sick"
"I know she will be,it's usual for me to see her
each time am back from work"
Charles went out to the throne room where queen
ivory and king jewel received him warmly.
"I was so tired,didn't get to greet you on time"
he said.
"I understand,you can save your energy for the
next prince task"
"prince task????
"yeah. between you and tochi"
"is that necessary at all"
they both walked out.
"what task is father talking about??
"I don't know what it is now but what ever it is
prepare yourself.good night chidi(my pillar)"
queen ivory said. Charles gasped and walked
towards the direction of his suite.
"tell Ethan to find out if that maid servant once
had a snake attack,I want to know who's lying
between the two girls".
"yes my prince"
the other guard walked out. another came in and
whispered some words in his ears.
Charles nodded in furry.
Chidinma reduced her fast step into a slow
pace,she was too shocked at what happened back
then at the gate.
"first it's that proud emperor's daughter, now
it's charles, do I know them from anywhere, why
will he look me like that and why did he help me
my head is spinning already,I don't want to think
too much anyways".
she dragged the heavily loaded shopping bags to
the maids room,before she could open the door
Hana appeared and opened it from the inside. her
normal face turned into something else on seeing
those shopping bags with chidinma. She cleared
her throat as chidinma passed her side...
"when did chidinma start working here that she
started staying out late,that girl is really
shameless" Hana walked in.somehow she wants to
see for herself.
"I thought you wouldn't come back tonight" olive
said.she removed her duvet.
"so how was it?
"more than I expected...
"really?
"yes ......he asked me out
"oh my godddd, what did you say??
"you wish! I want to go and have my bath".
Chidinma walked out,she came in minutes later
wrapped in a neat boring wrapper.
"tell me now.....wait are you sleeping in that? is
your night robe not dry already,you can wear mine
I have two.
"I actually want to wear something new to
celebrate...hmm what am I even thinking to
say"chidinma opened the first back and brought
out two night robes of colours "pink" and "purple"
olive eyes popped out on seeing the tags,the price
were written in words so chidinma doesn't know
how expensive it is..
"wait let me see very well" she said Chidinma left
it. she checked the price well.
jeeeeezzz this will pay my family house rent,
didn't chidinma say obim is poor.
"hmm what happened to it"Chidinma asked
"I love their scents"
"they are all pretty clothes"
olive checked the tags on all the clothes,she was
one smart lady. in my opinion I don't think this
obim guy is poor,he might have reasons for
keeping low profile" olive said in her head.
"hmm chidinma is really lucky....didn't she say her
boyfriend looks like prince drema???
Chidinma clears her throat."you can have one of
you want,it seems you like those two night robe".
"(jolts out of her thoughts) Dika will be jealous if
you give me and you do not give her,there's only
two night robes,it's better I don't take any in
other to be a considerate friend" olive replied
her quickly. her eyes couldn't get over the tag.
"you can take something else then"
"sure,it's been so long I bought myself new
things,am jealous of you i think I would get a
boyfriend soon" olive chuckled.the two clothes
she selected were pretty,it was the black gown
drema specially selected and a brownie gown
those two were the most expensive.
"I think I like this two but they are.....
"you can take them if you want,I actually don't
like them,it's kinda exposed"
"exposed?? it's not exposed,that's the style in it
you don't know anything. I like this black gown so
much but it looks special,it's like obim selected it
specially so I won't take it"
"anyone you like...
olive picked the one she liked and helped Chidinma
to arrange the remaining in her cupboard.
olive opened the last bag and saw a pack of
sanitary pad..she clears her throat and arranged
it in chidinma's cupboard.
She carried the box next.
"what's inside??
"its an iPad!!!
"iPad?? what's that for? Chidinma rolled to the
other side.
"I will teach you how to use it"
"here...we can watch movies? surf for news..
Olive saw the drugs.
"who is sick??
"I actually have two sickness lately number one is
headache" Chidinma said.
"the drug he got is correct,it's for headache and
stress"olive passed the drugs.
"what's the second illness? olive added.
"my heart is always beating so fast as if pumping
out if me. am I dying? chidinma said.
"you...your heart is beating faster"
"yes I don't know why,but recently every time I
get close to obim it moves faster than normal it
must be the symptoms of a disease but what is
the disease" Chidinma asked.
"I think I know the disease...."olive chuckled.she
took chidinma's left hand and placed it in her
chest.
"close your eyes and think of obim"
"why? does my sickness have something to do with
him.ok done" chidinma stated.
"can you feel it,it's beating rapidly,this is love
sickness"olive laughed.
"hunnn you're crazy,good night"
Chidinma rolled to her side, olive fell to her side.
"so I was wondering why,I mean why are you so
chaste you are very pretty and a lot of guys are
after you or are you a ghost"
"I'm not a ghost but you see olive,there are some
things you don't have to think about when you're
poor.good night".
"soo are you a Virgin"...
"whaaat no am not"chidinma replied.
"that's a lie..
"fine I won to you,can we sleep now.
"no one last question"
"tell me".
"Your boyfriend,Obim does he have a star dot on
his neck and does he have a tattoo signature on
his left arm"olive asked.she badly wants to
confirm if obim is same person has prince drema.
Chidinma sighed."star dot tattoo signature on
obim".
"I don't know,each time am with him I hardly
check him out all I know his that he has an
amazing heights,an handsome face very similar to
prince drema. is there any problem? Chidinma
asked.
"ohh nothing am sorry if my questions are too
much" olive said.
"okay goodnight,if there's anything you can ask
me"...
They were about sleeping when madam crystal
walked in.
"ohh you too havent slept,there are some works
left come over"she said.
"whaaaaatttt"
Chidinma and olive shouted.
they followed her out to the garden where olive
picked litters,Chidinma did other things..
which include delivery.
she picked her delivery basket and set to leave
the prince empire.
she walked down,she was lost in her thought she
didn't know when she arrived.
"hey watch....." prince drema who was almost close
shouted.
waaaaaaaatttt.
her hand went over his shoulder as they both fell
together...
she fell heavily on drema,it was so close her
breasts pressed hardly against his chest.
"God am dead".
She looked in his face.he looked so much like
obim. she collected her face and looked to the
other side angrily.
why do I......
"his dark eye"
"pointed nose"
cute full pink lips
nice set of teeth
pretty skin
how can he look so much.....
"miss" drema said calmly.
"mmmm....he speaks like obim,why is my heart
beating too fast"
"won't you at least stand up?? he asked.
"ohhh!! my!!! am sorry!!!!

chidinma hastily stood up from drema body, she
picked her delivery basket ste didn't look at
drema twice she rushed out after a quick bow.
"it's really her" drema took his lips in and went
his way.chidinma looked back again.
is that the prince drema?
waoow he is so expensive
why did I fall ahhhh
so clumsy
I was busy thinking of a way to address him
but why is his face so handsome from up close? I
look at him and what I see is obim or am I seeing
double.
she rushed out.
finally she arrived where olive sat,she dragged
her down and sat beside her.
soon she fell back,Chidinma fell back also
they both looked at the sky,the garden was so
silent it was still in the palace they didn't leave
the main gate.
"this building is so big"
said Chidinma.
"the distance from the earth to the sun is
1.521×10^8km the least distance is 1.471×10^8km
the speed of light is 3×10^5m/s" said olive.
"what do you mean by that?Chidinma faced
her,she collected her face at once
"it means if the sunlight goes out the people on
earth need to take 8minutes to know it,now we
have bathed in the sun,it's night in fact it's an
illusory night and warmth"
"I see.You like speaking in parables,I don't even
understand a thing"replied Chidinma.
there was a little silent.
"meteor" olive shouted.
Chidinma saw it in the sky and also shouted lowly.
"if you make a wish when meteor comes across
the sky,your dream will come true but this is a
short meteor it's not like the usual,will the
effect be discounted?? olive said.
"it doesn't matter let's try first"Chidinma added.
"I wish....I wish to find my mom and I wish she
will be happy to find me"said olive.
"your turn"
Chidinma looked in the sky.
"I Chidinma wish to stand by justice and live my
life without regret"Chidinma said.
"I wish princess Lila will change towards
maidservants even if it's for one week" olive
added in a shout.
"oh I wish that too"Chidinma said.
"me too"
they turned,it was Dika.
"come on it's late..let's go"she said.
they stood up,chidinma picked the basket
"is anything wrong with princess Lila,I don't get
why you make that wish?asked Chidinma.
"just pray you never meet her"Dika replied
"why???
"she feels too perfect,if anything goes wrong
people loose their job
"that small girl does all that!
"yes you can't blame her
"hmp thank God she hasn't met with me. I wish to
serve her one day"Chidinma said.
whaaaaatttt
"are you sure you don't want to loose your job?
olive chuckled.
"in fact I will serve her now
"whaaaatt
olive dragged her back,they headed to the maids
room.
**************
Hidden place
a guy sat facing a system. he paused and went for
his glass of wine.
"Mable record label rival of xdragon, a Savage
and vicious industry"
he scrolled down the system,surfing a lot of
things.finally he saw what he wanted.
"Drema Jewel your rival is very strong and
powerful turns out he is also a prince..
this is interesting"
be shut down his system and placed a call to a
reknown blogger.
.............?????
Bethel's place
back in the industry bethel was busy on the
internet,Mr Kelvin rushed in as well.
"you saw the report???
"yes,drema's profile is on fire right now,I wonder
who is behind it.the source and is still unknown"
"if rema sees the news he won't come,he will
compromise all his schedule for this month we
can't waste our effort at this stage
"I guess he doesn't have to that's why I called
Stanley and nkem one of them should successfully
steal his phone so he won't have access to
Internet for at last 8hours by then we would
have cleared his name he won't know about it"
"you're smart. I will call either Stanley or nkem
now
"please do"
*********
Royal palace Drema's suite
immediately Stanley received bethel's call drema
walked in.Nkem rushed to rema's bedroom and
picked his phone,the most important one at the
moment,he carefully removed the Sim and kept
the phone.
he returned.
drema was all dressed.
"guys is everything set????
"yes everything is set"replied Stanley.
"the car is outside"added nkem as he wheeled
down the travelling bag.
nkem smiled when drema helped him with the
bags. he actually helped,he still gives me respect
despite am working under him unlike Charles abd
tochi who always order guards around like they
are piece of trash.
"boss I can handle it"
"really???
they walked out.
the guards in front rush in front to open the door
for drema.
"nkem you're with my phone right? he asked.
"is this your sim card,I found it on the floor"
Stanley quickly answered.
"waow thank God the thief can keep the phone,I
need to place an order"
"I have a spare phone with me when we are done
in the studio you can get another phone all this
online shopping is not safe"
"yes you're right"drema collected the phone. it
was a small phone,he inserts his sim card.
"I like this phone better at least am free from
internet gossips"
"yeah that's right!.
the security card drove out first before drema's
car.
meanwhile chidinma watched from her window as
the cars drove out.*am I really getting out of
mind? next time if I see obim, I will confront him
to tell me the truth,like is he a twin,each time I
see this prince drema I always get goose
bumps,my heart beat is something else,I have
same feelings like am with Obim" she said to
herself.she locked the window and turned only to
find Hana crying in pain.
she cried harder holding her stomach.
"Hana!!! are you okay??? Chidinma asked,she
rushed towards her.
"help!!!!( the pain increased) help!!! Hana was
crying seriously.
"I....are you okay???
"am coming,let me call someone!!!
Chidinma rushed to the door,she looked at Hana
again.she was really in pain,won't it be too late
before I come back from calling someone..
"sorry...what did you eat??...
"nothing,it's my sickness each time it shows up I
always feel miserable but there is an antidote can
you please take me outside I will show you were
the antidote is"Hana said.
"what type of sickness is that? your symptoms
are unclear. You have pale lips,sour eyes, you're
short of breath,your pulse are okay I don't
understand where this pain are coming
from"Chidinma said. Unknown to her it was only a
plan between Hana and Nina.
"am in pain!! take me behind the garden I will
show you where the antidote is,if you don't want
to help me it's fine leave me and let me die" hana
faked tears.
Chidinma hastily helped her behind the garden
she dropped Hana on one of the neat drug.
"where's the antidote?? she asked.
"there!! it's a balley herb,it's pale yellow please
help search for it am dieing,please don't let me
die"Hana faked.
"hey hang on,I will help you get the antidote"
Chidinma entered the place Hana told her.
as soon as she entered, Nina appeared Hana gave
her sign to enter.
"so you're the healer!! Nina said in her head she
hide in a distance.
"I thought as much!! she added as she chant the
pure glazed fire.
Chidinma searched and searched...
she didn't find any thing similar to what Hana
described.
balley herb.... balley herb?? did I hear Hana
correctly,there is nothing like balley leave!!
"I wonder what type of sickness she has,even
though you betray me many times I will still help
you,this one should reduce your pain" she said and
wanted to pluck out another antidote herb.
She felt something covered her.

She is his lucky charm. Lucky charm.

Nora's eye turned sour.
she didn't only felt tricked,she felt used and
miserable.No maid servant had ever had the right
to talk back at her.
what now. A common groudnut seller.
shortly afterwards,the guards she called
arrived."my lady what shall we do for you'
Nora flared angrily."No need! she has left,how
can dumb and idiots be guards,you can't even
answer fast to deal with a fly"
"we are sorry my lady.we can still help you handle
this? what's the maidservant name? we can help
you.
"I said no need. I don't even know her name so
how then will you identify her. royal Palace has
200+ maid servant,so it's still useless" Nora
shouted and walked away.
checking dinma words hurt her deepest.
"I mean I wonder how a handsome and wealthy
prince take a cricket as a bride. does the prince
not have eyes.in fact let me go and bring
insecticide!!!
those words really made her face burn.
she barged into her suite,looking at herself in her
mirror angrily.her fingers itched to torture
Chidinma in the underground dugeon or the mine
where no one would notice.
Nora got so engrossed in her dirty thoughts that
she didn't notice queen Chiamaka walked in.
Chidinma finally moved out of her hideout as soon
as the guards cleared out.
there was light everywhere in the palace,escape
wasn't something easy.
she rip tier and was getting almost successful
until she heard a hoarse voice saying "stop".
Chidinma froze right into her spot.
"sorry"
"sorry"
"sorry"
chaii I only have mouth to insult,I can't endure
torture oo.
"my friend.my friend" she heard and recognized
the voice. Prince tochi,it was him.
she smiled and turned to him.anytime. in trouble
you always show up.
she hastily ran to tochi's side as soon as she
heard the guards coming out. Nora must have told
them to keep a check.
The guards coming increased in large numbers.
Chidinma already ran to tochi. she hide behind
him although he doesn't seem to have a very fit
physique unlike obim.
"what's wrong with me? why must I compare
every guy I meet with Obim? it's okay forget
about him big head,you're in trouble.
"ahhh prince tochi you're my friend right
"Biko(please) help me out am in trouble don't let
them see my face!! those words came out of her
mouth calmly.
"No one"the guards bowed to tochi and moved
back to their initial position.
Chidinma moved out. tochi chuckled. "you're a
bunch of trouble right"
"humm yes. thanks for today"Chidinma said and
hastily remove her hand.
"so how will you pay me back? asked tochi.
"hmm I really don't have money,I could have
cooked for you but you see am a very bad
cook...I...I..bye bye no one should see us together
else am doomed" said Chidinma, she rushed out to
the maids section. unfortunately again she ran
into crystal the head maid.
Is trouble really made for me.
"you this girl,what are you looking for at night? is
this the rule! go to the 3rd building and reflect on
your punishment!
"yes ma'am"Chidinma curtised and turned to
leave.
"come back,it seems you will be useful. here
deliver this to old Nana,in the magic clan. if you
like get carried away by those unreal things you
are on your own"
"yes ma'am"Chidinma curtised again then left.
she took short turns and arrived in the exact
place.
"waoow
"this is so beautiful
"the market place is even open at night
at the central of the market there was a crowd.
Chidinma squeeze herself in,it was a magic show.
How real is this???
she walked away and came across another magic
show.
something the magician called "beast of dream".
it tells people's dream by giving out bubbles.
chidinma got carried away.
is this some movie or what?.
"I want to watch a dream"a young woman from
the crowd said and dropped a huge amount of coin
bag. The magician changed soon a bubble
appeared. everyone watch the woman dream in
the bubble.
"I would have watched but I have no money".
"next!!!
Chidinma stepped forward,everyone clapped for
her.
"hunn is this even real?"she said loudly.
"yes it is real.There are two types of dreams
one is a blue dream from memory,the other is a
yellow dream of desire.When people dream of the
things that had once happened then the dream
bead will glow blue light which is the coloured
blue dream of memory.
if it's a dream that has never happened but just
an imagination then the dream bead will bring out
a yellow light which is yellow coloured dream of
desire.
People often dream of reality at the very
beginning of their dream but then it gradually
fills with all sorts of imagination the dream will
change from...
chidinma interrupted."it sounds difficult to
understand,to put it simply can I say that the
yellow dream is fake and a blue dream is real, if
it's both blue and yellow then it's half fake half
real"said Chidinma
"miss you're really smart to get it easily. I will
give you a dream for free"
"really?
"yes.
"okay,I want it now.
Chidinma waited. finally the magician let out her
dream,it was a blue dream from memory meaning
real.
In the bubble dream,chidinma was seen kissing
prince drema who was dressed in a royal attire.
"hunnn whaaattt
"prince drema in my dream eeehnn
"am I really that girl he is kissing!!! eeehhh!!
Chidinma looked confused.
"why is it prince drema and not obim??
Someone from the crowd used a whip to wipe the
bubble,the dream cleared out. Chidinma turned
only to meet a fierce face of a lady.
"tell me who is that lady hugging prince drema in
that stupid magic bubble! asked the girl.
Chidinma looked around,all eyes on her. it was
clear enough she was the girl. Her. but why her
with prince drema.
Eversince she was born,she never liked anything
royality. her mother hated royality, she hated
royality she doesn't want to have something with
them.
Her mother hoped for her to marry a simple and
ordinary guy.
"I have no idea too,I was just watching also. with
that whip of yours,I couldn't see if the girl was
me or not"she answered.
"hmm even a poor villager can watch a dream, he
wasn't kissing you okay,he was bitting you if you
don't know
"and who are you,how dare you spy on prince
drema's dream?? asked the girl.
"me????
"I am a palace maid servant.if you want to see
prince drema,just go straight turn left,left,and
left go on" Chidinma said. the girl ran
immediately.
Chidinma laughed. "very senseless girl.i tricked
someone again".
she delivered what crystal sent her and returned
to the palace.
Royal Palace
Nora was on phone.
"how is the investigation going
"we need time
"find out who that girl is at all cost
"we will do so soon enough
"do so please without delay
"trust me we followed them to the royal
palace,and my guys are watching the palace
closely no one has left..
"whaaattt! that means that girl leaves here..
"yes,it's under our control..
"noo noo don't worry I know who the girl is. It's
Chidinma! that bitch.
Nora ended the call,I really over underestimate
that maid.
That morning chidinma woke up and started her
duties,she ignored everyone. she didn't even
greet anybody.
Lila spoke with Jackie on phone then sat to scroll
through drema's internet pictures she enjoyed
watching his live show,drema's music is really
good. just then she saw the pictures of drema
hugging with a commoner.
what's my brother doing with a pauper and in
such a dirty environment.
this girl sure looks like Chidinma,how is this
possible.
Lila dropped her phone and called the maids
landline. she requested for Chidinma.
Chidinma came in minutes later.
"what the hell you doing hunn,you are a commoner
how dare you seduce my brother, do you know who
and what he is....." Lila almost flared up but then
something changed her mind when she looked at
Chidinma.
Her innocent eyeballs and lashes that curled up
beautifully,her maid cloths were neatly ironed to
bring out her elegance,her sandals thoroughly
cleaned.
this lady sure looks like an angel. Lila closer her
mouth and didn't shout at her.
"you called me personally,did I do anything wrong
or do you need anything?
Chidinma asked without blinking.
"I don't need anything"she replied calmly.If
drema really loves this woman and am rude to her
then it's a disrespect to my brother.
"then I guess my presence is irrelevant" Chidinma
said.
"hmm do you have a twin? Lila asked.
"twins??? am the only female in my family..
"are you sure? you better think
"no" Chidinma nodded. It's only me and Nonso, my
older brother is long dead,I didn't even had the
chance to see what he looks like all I know is that
his name is "Darren".
Lila gave Chidinma her phone.
"she looks like you,the commoner drema hugged"
Chidinma looked at the pictures stunned for
minutes she collected the phone,to see better it
was really her. she even saw her groundnut tray
on the floor.
"what do you have to say? Lila asked.
the phone started shaking on chidinma's hand
"is that really you?" Lila asked.
Chidinma tears stream down,she dropped the
phone and ran out of Lila's room.
"it's really him,why am I Soo stupid? I stupidly
let him use me!!!
Chidinma said in tears,she wasn't looking well
until she bumped into someone.
"sorry!!! she said and wanted to pass the other
direction,the guy took her hand back. Her tears
still stream down as she looked at the guy, she
hasn't seen the face before but the guy sure
looked expensive..
He held her hand and answered his call with the
other hand.
"drema am already waiting for you at the...."
the guy answered his call. on hearing the name
"drema" Chidinma hijacked her hand, the guy
collected her back.
"hey why are you crying!!.. he brought out an
handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"it's really him,I stupidly let him use me"
Chidinma said and cried the more. She has
promised not to tell anyone but she doesn't even
know why she is telling this guy she is just
meeting for the first time..

Chidinma collected her hand carefully and walked
out,she wondered why she told him her
predicament.
"why am I getting emotional this days,it's okay
forget about it"Chidinma wiped her face with
both hands and Chris smiled.
"I wonder what's wrong with her"
Chris said.He entered drema's suite and walked
to the glass wall and look out. he was surprised to
see Chidinma
she stood there quietly behind the garden and
watch the bluish pool...it was so dim he couldn't
see her face clearly but he knew it was her,the
crying girl
He ran downstairs and walked to where chidinma
stood the lights were so dim and romantic.
Chidinma saw Chris,she looked away.
"he is prince drema's friend who knows if they
are both the same"; she said within herself.
Chris was really shy he didn't know what to say so
he just stood beside her.
"good evening sir
"ohh someone is here,I don't know I just came to
look at the waters"Chris replied.
"I better go inside" chidinma said
"no you can still stay if you want
"ok.
she looked at Chris face helplessly and at every
stares she took,she felt pain more and more.
"hey,I think you cry a lot
"it's nothing sir,the water is so calm.
"it's really. You're beautiful can you stop wasting
those precious tears
she kept cleaning her face chrid wondered what
was wrong with her.
the tears got embarrassing so she ran away. Chris
sighed and returned to the prince empire where
he waited for drema.
**********
Prince drema arrived after the long day,it was
already evening.visiting his numerous companies
really ate up his time plus the shoots he had
today,he still had a lot to complete. If not for
Chris he wouldn't have come to the palace
tonight.
he walked up straight to his suite,
it was only him he didn't take any guard along.
"rema you kept me waiting seriously" Chris said,a
smirk on his lips.
"really,when did you arrived?
"a while ago.
"the palace is somewhat cool,I saw a maid ran out
crying an hour ago" he added.
"a girl??? rema emphasize
"I thought you've stopped that bad attitude of
flirting with girls"rema added.
"me???? well I tried to calm her down but she ran
away. guess what???" Chris clicked his tongue.
"whaaattt! rema turned to him.
"she's pretty,I think she's gorgeous" Chris said.
rema shook his head and locked the door behind
him,just then he looked at the mask in his hand
and remembered Chidinma, the look on his face
was damn pure. The memory of kissing Chidinma
and him wanting to tell her his real identity didn't
want to leave his mind.
it occupied him all through the day.
Drema suddenly wanted to see her again so he
dialed the landline and ordered wine and grilled
fish sauce for Chris. He was too tired to hear the
voice of the one who picked the landline but he
wished it was Chidinma. this was the only way he
could see her here.
He heard a knock on the door,he opened up and it
was Dika. Drema was disappointed he really want
to see chidinma's face again.
Dika bowed and placed the order on the dinning.
Dika left.
"Are you alright?" Chris asked.
"I think so"rema replied he sat on the dinning
opposite Chris.
Chris poured the fruity wine into the two
glasses...
"I brought the contract files with me"Chris took
a sip of his wine.
"good for you"rema dropped the glass back and
took his car key.
"wait for me,I need to see someone it's really
urgent bye" he ran out.
Chris dropped his glass.
"I wonder what's so important for you to abadon
a contract file that worth millions".

Chidinma was the first to open her eyes the next
morning. Her eyes hit on the window. It's dawn
outside the silence of the early morning was
eerie.
"same duty post this morning,let's get ready and
go to the mines"olive rolled into her. Chidinma
nodded.
they both get ready,some other maids were up.
before Hana and the rest woke,they already left
for the mine.Somehow, olive saw it as an
opportunity to speak to chidinma.
after a while,she hesitate.
"it's very early,it will be uncultured to bring last
night topic up"; she said within herself.
they worked quietly in the mines,extracting
minerals and all sort of valuable resource the
mine attendants were also on their guard.
"why are those people wearing different uniform
from ours; asked Chidinma
"cos they are slaves,they work every day and
night orders from the king are taken strictly by
them...
"that woman looks old,how long has she been a
slave?
"it must have been long"
"no wonder my mom hates royalities,you can
imagine that old woman working"
Chidinma shook her head.
"what will it cost king jewel to set them free,it
doesn't matter if they are not is people. Am
begining to dislike royals"
"Prince drema is not like them. He makes sure big
foods comes to them most of the days. He comes
here frequently and command the guards to pack
foods in big silver bowls he treats them well.
Prince drema is never in support of his
father,drema is a good guy,he has never maltreat
a slave,he has never made a slave labour! prince
drema saved me twice or have you forgotten am
an orphan??
I have a feeling he will set them free if he
becomes king in the future" olive said the truth
"well....."
Chidinma was about talking when a low born maid
servant came to inform her that queen chiamaka
called.
she left olive in the mine and went to answer the
queen.
"yes my queen
"I will send you on an errand
"okay my queen
"I hope I can trust you
"yes my queen"
"ok. I need you to get my jewel set for the royal
feast next tomorrow.
my friend in Vietnam is designing it,she will be
sending it down but she hasn't given me any exact
time,it might be tomorrow or next tomorrow"
"ok ma'am.
"so you and the driver will go to the penthouse,
she will send it through her servant once it's
ready
"yes my queen
"you won't come back without it,I don't want to
hear stories that it got lost
"ok ma'am.
"this should be enough money to keep you for the
two days,here is the address give it to the driver
"okay ma'am.
Chidinma bowed and left to the maids quarter she
bath again and started changing.
"where are you going?"Hana asked
"going to get queen chiamaka jewel set" she
replied,another maid peeped the address.
"drema's penthouse! I was the one who went last
month. gosh,drema has a luxurious taste his
penthouse is far beautiful than the palace" Gina
said.
"I was unlucky I didn't get to see drema
throughout that two days,who knows you might be
lucky" Gina added.
"if you're lucky he comes around,seduce him and
get pregnant for him so that you can he his baby
mama"Sarah said
"Chidinma even if drema shows up just ignore him
or better still break up with him"Hana said
"yes Hana" Chidinma replied.
Dika widened her eyes.
minutes later she left with the driver.
Chidinma and the driver arrived at drema's
penthouse.
the uniqueness of the place is what everyone will
admire but not chidinma. in fact she pretended as
if she didn't see the beauty of the place.
"when will the woman send the queens jewel and
how long will I stay here?"Chidinma asked instead.
"within two days,the order should arrive. Just
that Rhoda today might be tomorrow hope you
have something to sustain you?
"yes"
Chidinma raised the money given to her.
"okay,let's go in then" The driver said and
dragged the bag in.
As the driver sat in the living room,Chidinma
walked around the penthouse it was so
beautiful,the pool had two colours the white part
and blue part,she wondered how come there was a
stair inside the pool. This stairs demarcated the
blue side from the white side.
it was indeed awesome,
the base of the pool was tiled gold.
she checked every other place,the rooms
everything.
"hmm miss,you can take the room
I will take the couch here" said the driver.
"no need.My house is not far,I will come back
tomorrow morning" Chidinma said. It was just a
coverage lie,she has never been comfortable
staying alone with the opposite sex.
"okay".
"yes,good night"
Chidinma walked out and took a taxi. She was
stunned when she arrived. her house wasn't the
same wretched house she left. Aaah it even have
a dream or am I dreaming!
she paid the taxi and knocked on the gate.
no reply.
"am I really dreaming or what???
she knocked again,it was opened by her junior
brother,nonso.
Its been 6months I left home,how come nonso is
taller than me or am I dreaming.
"welcome!! nonso beamed and hugged
chidinma.both siblings were happy.
"welcome"
"how is mother??
"she should still be in shop or her friends place
"shop????
"don't you know? didn't Hana deliver any letter to
you,have sent several letters to her to
deliver"nonso said.
"I didn't receive any letter"
Chidinma shook her head. Nonso was shocked.
"what type of friend do you have? have sent you
to 10 letters for her to deliver,anytime I call the
palace landline to speak to you she always says
you're not around or are you always around?"
nonso asked,fluently. not speaking the normal
pidgin,his English was so sounding.
"at last my effort didn't waste to work and send
you to school"Chidinma said within herself.
"am always around. Hana didn't tell me anything"
"I think you should be careful of her,then" nonso
said thoughtfully.
both siblings went in.
Chidinma started calculating. 100k per months
eight months will be 800 thousands..
my mom really spent those money wisely.
"thank you very much,I promise I won't
disappoint you"nonso said as they both sat facing
the tv.
Chidinma nodded.Her mind stupidly think of
where she and drema usually meet on Thursday
night,it's not really far from her house.
"is today Thursday?
"yeah"..
chidinma collected her face immediately who
knows if he is waiting for me.
should I go???
no no I don't think I should go..
aaah is better I go and break up with him once
and for all or what should I do?
think think think......
am really thinking of him this days.
and as for Hana,why didn't she deliver those
letters to me??
is she planning on hiding my family from me.
I can't believe that girl.
"are you going somewhere!
"yes,I will come back
nonso also stood up.
"alright I will follow you,it's night already this
area is not safe"
"hunn,you want to protect me??
"yes,am a big boy now oo"...
they both heard the gate sounds.
"mama is back from shop
"I can't believe Hana. what does mother sells now
"eggs, wholesale.
"welcome mother!
"ohh my daughter!!! Mrs uyah dropped her bag and
ran into the soft embrace of her daughter.
"why didn't you reply the letters,I always get
worried every months..
"am sorry it's work,no time.
"that's a lie,Hana didn't deliver any letters to
her" nonso said.
"oginiiiiii(whaaaaaatt)

thing she has never done is lying to her mother. if

the iPad rang in her pause.
A phone!when do you have time to chase after
material things,you have really changed.
"it's okay,just tell me"
"I promise I won't be upset"
Mrs uyahs face tightened in a scrowl. chidinma
shook her head. "Obim" slips out of her mouth
mistakenly,that alone got Mrs uyahs more curious
than ever.
"mama you must have misunderstood her. I will be
needing some textbooks in school tomorrow she
wants to check if the bookshop still opens at
night"
nonso stood chidinma up.
"these are the lists of books,can we go now?
nonso asked smartly,chidinma responded as well..
"are you two playing with me??
"mum we need to check it out, bookstore closed
by 10pm" nonso added and opened the door,both
siblings ran out.
"what a relief"
"am always there for you
"thank you,aaahh I almost died of silence
"but who exactly are you going to see.
Chidinma hastened her footsteps the moment
Nonso asked that question.He hurried up and
caught up with her.
"let me protect you"
nonso said and locked his palms with her. Unlike
Chidinma who is a beautiful brown skin girl,nonso
is fair. He look very much like their mother at
some points he could be mistaken for a girl. Apart
from his skin colour difference with
chidinma,they still look very much alike.
the eye, eyebrows,straight pointed nose,moist
pink lips and even heights.
If chidinma could pass out for a mermaid with her
flawless beauty and bold curves, nonso could also
pass out for a merman.
Indeed they were both clean in beauty.
"it looks like it will rain"
"whatever. I really need to meet him and ask why
he lied about his identity...
"lied? who? who exactly are you going to see"
Chidinma kept quiet and hastened her footsteps.
Nonso caught up with her again.
"I can keep your secret,I won't tell mum"
"why I feel like you are going to tell her"
"if I would,then I wouldn't have...
"don't push it through

"how can he??
"why am I even bothered? he has made enough

He sorted the files neatly,just two contracts

Just then,the head guard rushed in with the
landline.
"prince drema is missing,his foster dad will speak
with you".
Stanley collected the phone, Mr Kelvin rushed in
as well.Stanley placed the phone on speaker. Sir
Lucien is actually the board manager,he used to
stand as a father for drema and helps him sign
some official documents when necessary,that's
why most of them refer to him as a foster
father.
"Do you really know how to do your work? you're
remas personal bodyguard yet you don't know his
whereabouts??
"I'm sorry Mr Lucien,he actually asked me to stay
back and help him sort out his unfinished
works"Stanley imagined saying,it's just an

spoke.
"rema was banned from walking around alone? I
hope his car at lock mall area won't cause a

had an attack?

Nora arrived at the palace,the maids were careful
not to make any mistake that will upset her.
"Nora are you alright
"how can I be alright when that useless girl has
finally charmed rema?
"we will talk later"
Nora ended the call. It would have been better if
chidinma is someone she can deal with, she is
really tough and has attitude.
it can be any other girl but why her???
why chidinma??
I guess I will have to use someone greater and
higher than me to punish her.
She was angry all through the nights,rema was
right she doesn't have any engagement prove. she
sighed and walked out of her suite to see queeen
chiamaka. she overhead voices as she passed the
throne room.
sounds like the priests voice.
they might be solving some kingdom issues. she
sighed but suddenly stopped as she heard king
Jewel's voice.
"why are they not compatible??
"my two sons are actually qualified!!
"I didn't say they are not competent,your
highness.but.......
"but whaaaaattt....
"I adjourned this competition".
Nora walked away before she will be caught for
eavesdropping. What if rema is the competent
one?? she suddenly hated Chidinma
"so soon,you're back"
queen chiamaka said. Nora bowed and entered her
suite
"yes mother,rema has a lot to do so I couldn't
stay for long"she lied.
"okay,he was just angry. I was scared he will
travel out"said the queen.
Nora gave a small smile
"mother I thought you sent that Chidinma girl to
get your gold,isn't she back??
"aah madam Claudia has a bad timing,she will
deliver it tomorrow; the queen said
"but I saw the girl you sent message"
"you mean you saw chidinma
”yes,I saw her sneaking out with the driver you
sent with her their romance in the garden was so
much that they almost tore each other's cloths
off,I forget to tell you"Nora lied.
the queen was surprised.She really like
chidinma,her beauty and everything and besides
she likes the way she is tall and clean she has
never treated her like a maid.
Nora saw how surprised queen chiamaka looked.
"are you surprised,mother?
"Am really disappointed in her. I like that girl so
much and sometimes I wish I was her mother, I
never knew she is a slut. she is free to continue
her romance with the driver,he is her level” queen
chiamaka said.
Nora smiled.
” those girls that have innocent looks are really
the badest.
queen chiamaka took her phone.
”hello emily
”yes my queen
”make sure Chidinma sleeps in the maids
room,don't let her see my son.
”okay ma.
”monitor her activities and report to me
”yes my queen

statured and she smells royality.Her face was
round,with a pretty pointed nose.She wore like
three earrings on each ears she walked with pride
and grace, her outfit was short,yet the classics.

Stephanie and hugged her.
Stephanie pecked Lila.
"i miss you,you don't look childish anymore
"am a big girl, Stephanie you're so beautiful
"thanks Lila.
meanwhile the royal family already sat to eat
breakfast in the royal dining. Stephanie handed a
maid her bag and ran towards the dinning.

and served everyone the food they asked for.
"do I eat raw tomatoes? or are you having

maid.
"am sorry sir??? the maids bowed and removed
the tomatoes...

they can't be perfect for us....

maids position,she served the whole table and
went back to her seat.
"you're fired"Charles told the maid.
"i thought I just apologized for her" steph said,
she was surprised about how king Jewel gave
Charles so much authority.
everyone ate in silence.
"wait someone is missing,where is that curly hair
cutie"steph whispered in Lila's ear.
"his hair is longer now",Lila said.
"he must be so cute now" steph replied
