Chapter 20💓
678 Words
Two weeks elapsed already but we were still in the same place, the restaurant.
The gentleman kept checking on us every after two days.
He had become our best friend.
The more he kept close to us, the more I fell for him but he didn't know that.
Receiving calls from him became my pleasure.
His voice was the sweetest sound I had ever heard.
Everything about him was so beautiful. I used to find excuses to call him. I would even call him to ask about the time that I want to reset my time on the phone.
Within the third week,we found the 500th house that we had been looking for.
After finding it, Bella and Jen decided to go home. But this time they were not going to my home, the palace.
They were going to their homes. Thank God that they were not from the Simie empire.
They were childhood friends from the neighbouring empire.
When Bella got a job in the Simie empire, she brought Jen to the Simie empire and that's how Jen got a job from there too.
Bella went ahead and got married to the man from the royal army of the Simie empire.
But this time, she wanted to go to her home place since she has betrayed the queen of the Simie empire who gave her the responsibility to look and take care of her only princess.
I supported their idea. I knew they were going to be safe anywhere outside the Simie empire.
I had brought huge amount of money with me and so I gave each one a token as a way of appreciating their efforts.
They left me alone in the city and so I decided to find another place to live in.
Staying in one place was of a disadvantage to me.
I left the restaurant.
As I was going, I saw a beautiful and huge building.
Outside there was a billboard and on it there was my dad's picture.
It was lighting with different colours. I went in there to see what was inside and what was my dad's picture doing there.
To my surprise, my dad's picture was hanged at the reception center.
I reached the receptionist and asked her about the pictures.
She told me that they belonged to the owner of the company.
"This means dad is the owner of this large building", I thought.
The company was manufacturing cars.
"This is why my dad changed cars everttieve and again like clothes."things made sense.
"How can we help you miss?"another lady at the reception asked.
"I want to meet your boss."I said.
"Sorry madam, you can't just meet with the boss without appointment with him."she said.
"It's okay." I will come back", I lied.
" It's alright because he even isn't here today." She said.
"My dad is still at home. He must be going through a lot of humiliation in the palace, that's why he hasn't come", I thought.
"I will take your leave", I said.
But before I could go, I saw the family picture of three hanged on the wall.
I went to have a close look at the picture. It was really beautiful but it lacked someone and that someone was me.
I wasn't in the picture. I asked a lady who was in the office that was facing the wall from where the picture was.
She told me that it was a family of their boss, king Leon.
"This is our boss king Leon,his wife Lala and their only son, prince Troy."she said.
"Does your boss, the king have one child?" I asked.
"Yes ma'am,they have only one child, that is Prince Troy." She said.
I felt disappointed at heart but couldn't show it on face because I didn't want that lady to suspect me in case she finds out about the news about the missing princess.
No one knew that the king had a daughter.
Was he ashamed of me to the extent that he chose not to include me on the family photo?
