A deafening silence followed the screeching of the broken glass. Everyone just but gawked at innocent Shamma who stood by the door entrance having just arrived. She looked at the piece of glass before her feet then at the numerous stares
"Oh my! It broke! Grandma?" she widened her eyes at the sight of Wally. It was then that Tamera realised she had met Wally before. She had been wondering ever since she saw her
"Last time it was the purse and today its the glass but dont worry i will bring it!" she picked up the piece of metal and ran over to Wally. Meanwhile the rest of the guests kept silent, clearly in questions mode because of the turnout of the event
"Grandma, have you chosen Tamera?" she asked handing over the piece but Wally just stared at her. Tamera switched her gaze from Sham
Xavier and Shamma walked into the full house hand in hand talking and giggling at each other's silly jokes. They went on to stand amidst the crowd while they chit chatted. A palace servant approached them with a tray of drinks which they were glad to take. The servant then turned to leave, winking at a smilling Alex in the process whose smile widened more when Shamma drank the juice"Tamera, there is Xavier go and have fun." Marcus said to Tamera who was hesitant at the offer. Whenever Xavier was with Shamma, he never wanted to play with anyone else"No father, let him play with Sham, i will go see him later.""Why Tammy? Look, Natty is going go too." said Tanisha pointing at Nathan who had approached the duo. With utmost reluctance, little Tamera eventually agreed
"Miss Lydia, since protectors could not birth a child, did that mean Alimo had to take another wife?" asked one of the students. The teacher was only but glad to continue the story because atleast it sparked an interest within her students. She had noticed ever since she started teaching the history of ancient Luyota, almost every student was interested except well, ever absent or late Gina. Her chair was hardly occupied"Alimo had long refused to marry his betrothed Becka, because he only loved Ariad, and Ariad also did not want to share her Alimo so she decided to test fate and went on ahead to get pregnant for him, even after marrying him when it was forbidden." the whole class had gone mute anticipating more of the story"And when the time came for her to give birth, it was either she survives, or the baby survives or they both die.
"Lady Tamera, come on in." said Xavier smiling slightly, his voice spilling chills down her spine. "I will leave you both to talk." thats Catherine leaving the room and closing the door on her way out "You look amazing." he said to Tamera whose face flushed, a blush tainting her cheeks "Thank you, you look good too your highness." Xavier laughed softly "Well i prefer calling you that. Atleast for now, i'm sorry for declining your request." "Okay, whatever makes you happy." "The celebrations are still on hold, please come verybody awaits you including the king your father." "
Later that night, Gina found her sister fast asleep on the couch after having had her dinner. Switching off the television, she carried a not so heavy Gianna to her room, compared to her secret source of income, Gianna was a better weight. She tucked her into bed and upon getting up to leave, she murmured "Please dont go anywhere tonight sister, stay in the house." Gina was perplexed by that request. She had made her everyday nightly duty a secret but Gianna seemed to have noticed "Gianna..." "Dont go sister, just for today.As a last birthday gift." "Okay love. I will not go anywhere today now sleep okay?" "You sleep too. Sleep right here with me please dont go." said Gianna hal
"So you are seriously not going to tell me about her?""About who?""About Tanisha who else?""There is nothing to tell.""Then why are you guys still unmarried?" Shayne kept silent"The clock is ticking Shayne. They will take her from you.""You wont understand Xavier. Tanisha and i are from two different worlds. Society wont allow it not to even mention her father.""I can talk to Marcus. Tanisha has been rejecting suitors because of you. And Tamera is always telling me about how Marcus is always on her case.""Honestly, i do lo
Gina ran around trying to find little Gianna. She ran over to the bathroom banged open every toilet but found non. She paced back into the room and asked around for little Gianna but nobody seemed to have noticed except one particular girl"Is it the little girl with long black hair?""Yes she was wearing a purple dress and black pumps did you see her?""Yeah i think i did. I last saw her speaking to some girl when i came in. They walked out together.""Girl?What did the girl look like did she have a neat cut, a nosering and multiple tattoos?""I only saw a few tattoos on her neck so..." the rest of her statement went unheard as Gina grabbed her gym bag and raced out of the room. She
"You know...i used to think you hid behind a mask because of unpleasant features yet it was to hide your pretty little face. I have been investigating you Gina. You are even a high school kid yet you were still able to become a cage fighter. Arent you underage?" Gina took a moment to calm herself before responding. Patience was never her strongest virtue"Riya. Give me my sister, i dont want to hurt anyone.""Not before you give me what i want. You took my title from me and i want it back.""Then go tell David. Its not my fault you never got a rematch!""Dont forget i have your sister. Just one gunshot and she will be dead so you will do as i say, besides should you not be in hospital?" Gina just but stared at her causing Riya t
Aurora walked into her brother's home her ladies in waiting pacing after her. She found her way into the living room where Garatiya sat relaxed with two girls massaging her feet"Where is Alex?" she asked an uninterested Garatiya"My queen, welcome." she said sarcastically dismissing the two girls who scurried past Aurora"I ask again where is my brother?""Aurora, i have said this and will say it again, this is not the palace but my home so you will treat me with respect!""Respect my foot! You dont deserve respect, i am the queen and as your queen i demand an answer!" Garatiya just but looked at her sizing the woman before her before going back to her comfortable sitting position a
