Mara made herself comfortable in the prince's dining apartment. She was holding a glass of expensive wine and the dinner table was colourful. There were various dishes and everyone was free to pick whatever suited their palate. It was a three course meal. First for starters there were sea food platters. There were salmons, caviers, sushi, chilled oysters and other seafood dishes. Then the main meal was to die for. There was aubergines parmigiana and some roasted veggies. The meat was exotic Japanese waygu beef and ostrich steak served with red wine and mushroom sauce. The meal was tantalizing her tastes budds but what bothered her was that the prince's guards were sitting around the table dining as well. This made her a bit uneasy as she expected the precious moments with the prince only.
She was thinking about what her mother told her before she left her home. " Remember not to give the prince a chance to think about Mary", her mother said as
Mara became silent for a moment. Her hand was touching her forehead. It was like she was in deep thoughts or she was confused. The prince was looking at her without blinking. " I was asking about your sister, Mary", the prince said with a stern voice. "Oh! Mary, I- I", Mara was stammering while she was still holding her forehead. The prince shifted his hand closer to her direction. He touched her hand. "Are you alright", he said seemed to be concerned. Mara lifted her hand smiling nervously. " I- I'm alright, yes. It's just that I- I", she seemed disoriented this time"No, no, feel free to talk', the prince said standing up to reach her side of the table. He came closer behind her back. He stretched his hand and gave her a shoulder rub. Mara felt a warm gush of blood going down her spine. She felt a tickling effect in her abdomen. She felt her panties becoming wet instantly. She never felt like that before and she was loving every minute of it
Mara and her mother realised that they were in a big trouble. "I should never tried to make my moves towards the prince in the first place, look at us now, we are in deep trouble". Mara said with a trembling voice. Now she came to realise how much the prince was in love for Mary. Her mother looked at her with fury in her eyes. " How could you say that? You now becoming a coward. Let us focus now. I'm trying to think of a plan to get us out of this trouble". Mary's step mother said in a stern voice.She was clenching her fists and gritting her teeth with rage. The thought of seeing Mary winning and getting married to the most sought after man in the town made her to lose her senses. She sneered and seemed to be cooking something in her mind. She jumped with excitement and lifted her hand in while chanting the song she used to chant when she was plotting something evil. She made her famous dance moves she always perform when her plans were coming into succes
Reminiscence, melancholia and nostalgic memories flooded Mary's mind as she was sitting next to the fire in the small shelter which was used as a fire place. She sat quietly in deep thoughts while shedding a drop of warm salty water down her cheek. Yes, she was crying. She was crying for love. She was crying for mother's love. Her mother passed away when she was still a toddler.She grew up without knowing her mother. The blink memories of a beautiful woman who used to toss her up and down with a great smile would creep in her mind. She was very young when her mother had fallen sick. She vaguely remembered when she was sitting next to her while she was in deep pain. Her tongue turned black and they said it was a black fever. Few days after she never saw her. Her father whispered in her ears while she was asleep."Your mother is in heaven", he said with a soft voice and then gave her a dry peck on the cheek and then he was off to work.Her
Mary continued to live with her unloving family and her never present father. She was now a teenager and she had already started high school. Her step sisters were behind her in grades as they were not as brilliant as her and that did not sit well with her stepmom. She tried by all means to block her from attending classes everyday. She would pretend as if she was ill and made Mary to do all the household chores. Mary would clean the house and cook for her and her daughters. When they came back from school she was made to clean after them. She would go and fetch water before she prepared for supper while they were doing their homework. Sometimes she would their homeworks as well.Her father would come home late, had supper, bathed and went straight to bed. The next morning he would be off to work. Mary would work hard to catch up on her school work. Sometimes she missed class tests but that did not stop her to pass her grades. When it was her last year a
The following year Mary registered to finish her high school. She attended the evening classes. After work she had to rush to the classes. This meant that she was over working herself more than before. She did not even have time to look after herself. She was a beautiful young woman anyway. Her slim figured body made her looked stunning even if she wore simple clothes. She would plait her hair and still looked stunning.She carried on with work and studies until it was time to write her final exams. She studied during the night while she was exhausted. Finally, she finished her studies and it was time for December holidays. She went to spend Christmas with her family. She carried on being the skivvy to her stepsisters. They would party all the weekends and she was supposed to cook and clean for them. She was used to that and there was no time to complain. No one would be on her side anyway.Then January came and it was the time t
The summer holidays came and everyone was in the festive mood. She packed her bags to join her annoying family for Christmas. She knew that the would suck her to bleed money. She had no where else to go because she had no one. Her heart was aching and she left her employer's place to join the villains who were called her family.She tried to collect herself and join the spirit of festivity just like anyone else. She was looking beautiful though she had not much clothes to wear. She made preparations for them to have decent meals during Christmas. She used up all her savings to try to make her home a warm place to stay.The stepmom and her daughters would dine on the table laughing while she was serving them. They would not even talk to her except when they want money to enjoy themselves. She would sit in the shelter thinking about her future.One day while she was preparing breakfast for her stepmom and sisters, she hear
Mary was in front of the mirror preparing herself for the dinner she was invited to, at the palace. She opened the closet and chose a beautiful dress that her employer's daughter gave her as a Christmas present. It was still smelling fresh as it came from the box. She applied a little bit perfume and put it on. It was a tight dress covered with a long lace that reached ankles. Its colour was cream and gold. She wore the high heeled shoes that matched the golden colour of the dress and plaited her long hair and it nicely at the back. She dabbed her face with the make up Chelsea gave her and it perfectly matched her even toned skin, making her look like the princess doll. She turned around in front of the mirror and was satisfied with the way she looked. She sighed for a moment and looked around clutching her fists with nervousness. A car hooted outside and she rushed off to peek through the window. It came to halt in front of the gate and she came out.The
A week later the prince threw a special bunquet for their engagement. It was a fairy tale affair that was dignified by the presence of all royal families and friends. And the community was there to honour the prince and future princess as they would embark on a new journey as a matrimonial couple. Other royal couples from the surrounding towns brought them expensive gifts and showered them with their blessings.Everyone was in a jovial mood and the festivity went on as if it was the day the prince was put on the throne. The prince and his future wife were the centre of attention. They wore new outfits that were specifically designed for them by the royal fashion designer. Mary wore a sophisticated gown with an embroidery of expensive stones. Her hair and makeup were done by the professional beautician who was hired specially for her by the prince. She was starting to live the life of royalty now. After her new look was done, she looked like Cinderella after he
