Lu paced about the cell room she was in with worries. She was worried about Sir John not coming over to see her yet or even finding a way to bail her out of the mess she was in. By right, the man or one of his crimes should have bailed her out the very next day after she had gotten arrested by the police but none of them had shown up at all. Not even a single one of them had appeared before her eyes to tell her about how her release would go along.She was also worried about who could have snitched on her to the prince. If she had known that he was the prince, perhaps, she would not have done the things that she did. Which brought her to another worrying question of why sir John had lied to her about that true identity of the man but much as she thought about it, she couldn't find an answer to the question that was bugging her mind.She sat down on the bare door as her thoughts began to process the little information she had accidentally heard from the guards about Felix. She had heard
"Hey, boy. Come and get daddy a cigarette from one of the policemen you usually get it from, will you?" One of the men in the prison cell said to the young boy that Lu thought looked like Felix. Lu watched as the young man opened the door to the next cell room and none of the police on duty ssir anything. Corrupted bujch if people, she thought and shook her head. She knew that if it was one of the lower class prisoner like herself that had committed such an atrocity, they would have screamed their intestines out on her. But no, they wouldn't say a word now because the big shots were involved. The big shots were people who were influential that had been caught in cases that they couldn't get out from. They were the big big folks that even Lu in all her career years feared. The young ones among them were the generation of what she could refer to as the future of the country since their fathers or mothers were men of high status.These types of big folks, even though they were prisoner
Lu walked in the passage of the prison, her face scrunched up in annoyance. She had just woken up in that rotten prison that contained a lot of messed up human beings and some psychotic ones also without anyone visiting her. The images of the people in it continued to appear in her brains. While some of them were found guilty in the prison, some of them were not making her heart clench in pain. She met a young boy that won’t pass the age of fifteen in the prison, running errands for the big men in the prison and it had broken her heart. His hair was the same color Felix was making her find him attractive.She slumped into the chair, closing her eyes as she relaxed her muscles. She had no idea she would be visited today and was just happy that she has been remembered after all this while. The image of the boy appeared again in her head, while he was begging her to please help him.“I don’t know anything about it. They just came into my house and said I did it.” The boy said.“What did
“What? How did the prince find out what?” Lu repeated.“Stop faking it Lu. The prince already knows who you are. How did he know? Why the hell did you have to tell him?” Sir John half yelled at her.Lu was shocked and that’s when everything clicked to her. The main reason why Sir John had not processed her bail was because he knew already and he was angry at her for allowing him to know. But she had no idea how he knew anything of this at all. “You can’t blame me for that.” Lu said after some minutes.“Then who should we blame? Who did I give the damn mission to? I remember giving it to you because you seemed fit to do it. But who knew you were just going to mess it all up for me.” Sir John said, his veins popping on his forehead.He was angry at her. Angry was an understatement. If he had other words to describe how he was feeling right now,he would have used it. He did not expect Lu to betray him his way. He had trusted her, gave her all she wanted, given her the biggest mission an
“Wow. So wow.” Rich said from the side.“Betrayal, Lu how do you feel about this? Khalil can’t do it. He’s just taking my side. Wow. Well, don’t trust anyone darling.” Rich mocked her.“I’m surprised Lu. I’m really surprised. Khalil going to your back and snitch about you. Intriguing.” Rich said, scoffing and mocking Lu.“Keep quiet.” Sir John said without looking at him.Lu felt all color drain from her face, a part of her already left her as she heard it. She could not believe her ears. Khalil! Khalil was the snitch. Her heart clenched tightly against her chest as his voice resounded in her ear again. Why would he do something like that to her? Why? She trusted him. He was her friend but why?“Why?” Lu said faintly.She raised her head to meet Khalil's eyes.“Why did you do it? Tell me Why?” She yelled at him.“I did it because I wanted to. Did you take me as a fool Lu?” Khalil said to her.“We were friends. Khalil, I treated you well like my friend. Why did you go behind me to tell
“I ruined the life of the only man I had ever truly loved” Lu said as a tear escaped the jail of her eyes and others followed in quick succession. She couldn’t just forget the look on Felix’s face as the cops came for her. She had never seen him like that. He looked utterly broken like a sad child. He couldn’t bring his self to look at her, not even a glance. She knew that, that image will forever not only hunt her but Judge her. You know when someone offends, it’s easier to blame that person but when it’s all your fault….the pain comes in one billion folds. And that was how she had been feeling since she got into this cell but what hurt her so deep when ever she remembered the look on Felix’s face was that…she was responsible. I did that to him she told her self as she sobbed hard. She found out that she has truly loved him and this was not because of his royalty, fame or money….but because he was amidst all that royalty was a man who had the most beautiful heart she had ever known
“Your highness, you are more suitable for becoming King in my opinion, you shouldn't give up just because—”“—Enough,” Felix interupted his buckler. “Don't interfere in royal matters.”The middle aged man bowed his head, “Forgive me, your highness.”Felix waved at the buckler, “Whatever, leave my room and take the snacks with you, I'm not hungry.”“Yes.” The buckler grabbed the tray containing the delicious gooseberry pies and started to head towards the door. He would have to eat the gooseberry pies himself, he wouldn't let it go to waste.As the buckler headed out, Felix let out a sigh and just laid on his bed, unwilling to do anything else.He remembered that woman's face and the good times they had together. He thought he finally found the one he could build a peaceful family with. Turns out she was also a fraud.He tried to convince himself that she was a fraud but.. somewhere deep in his heart. He knew that was not true or he refused to believe it.As much as he hated her.. He c
Felix kept his nose in the book, wondering what would happen next to the peasant girl.As Kara lingered around her home, she still wasn't forgiven. Kara's mother took pity on her and begged her father to take her back in but he refused. He said she was no longer needed in the house as she was of marriageable age, it was best for her to meet her lover, live with him and produce children.Felix lifted his head from the book in rage.What sort of beast was this? From what he knew, Kara was untouched and she didn't have a boyfriend either. She did every single chore in the house and instead of appreciating her, her father was berating her.It disgusted his nerves. If only he could enter the novel and give Kara's father a good beating.He continued reading the book.One day, when Kara was sleeping outside. She didn't see the snake creeping around in the vicinity and she got bit.She screamed out for help. Even though her family in the house heard, her father forbade anyone from attending t
