Justin was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing. Groggily sitting up, he picked the call without looking at the caller id.
” Hello?” he greeted.
” What hello? Are you determined to soil the family name with your scandals? Justin’s father roared at the line.
” Your majesty, may I kindly remind you that Justin has no connections with your family name?” Justin replied in a bored voice.
” Absurd! Does that change the fact that you are of royal blood? is this how the prince of this kingdom plans to lead his life? scandal after scandal?” His father reprimanded but in a softer voice.
” You know me father, I don’t have anything to do with those women. I plan to follow your footsteps.” Justin replied, making his father chuckle at the other side of the line.
” I must say this time the scandal is Worth it, I love that girl. she would make a perfect queen for this kingdom.” Justin’s father said.
” Stop it Dad, we don’t know who she is and you are already thinking of her as your daughter in law? For all we know she might have been sent by our enemies to infiltrate our family!” Justin replied.
” We don’t? But I know her identity, the whole world knows, maybe only you don’t know.” His father argued.
” What do you mean by that?” Justin asked, sensing something burnt in the conversation.
” It is everywhere in the media but I must say your fans are going to sink their claws at her if they find her. As the king of this country, I task you with her safety. Nothing should happen to her.” His father said and dropped the call without waiting for his son’s reply.
Thinking about how his son insisted on following his dreams and refusing to take the crown, he could only shake his head. Maybe, just maybe that lady was the lucky charm that could bring his son back home.
Justin knew the king’s order was a king’s order. It did not matter if that king was his father. If anything happened to the lady, then nothing could save him from the punishment since that could count as neglecting a royal edict. The last thing he wanted was to land himself in the punishing rules of the royal family.
Justin rose from his comfort zone like a prey escaping the hunter. Picking his phone he dashed downstairs. He didn’t even do the most basic morning routine like washing his face. He raced all the way to the underground parking, got in and drove off with his Ferrari.
Justin was certain that the media would be somewhere camping near his villa so he used the back emergency gate. Afterall he was going for an emergency rescue mission.
After leaving his premises safely, he called his best friend and brother Ronald. On the second ring the call was accepted.
” Send me her current location and address.” He barked the orders.
” I see the prince is back!” Ronald said tauntingly.
” Be serious, it’s urgent.” Justin reprimanded his friend who seemed to be in the mood to Joke about his current predicament.
” I knew this would happen the moment I saw the news so I sent some of my men to secure the place but she did not go back last night.” Ronald explained in a relaxed voice.
” I am giving you ten minutes to find her current location.” Justin instructed yet again.
” Relax. What’s the rush?” Ronald asked like the king’s order was a joke to him.
” Don’t tell me to relax, damn it! if something happens to her, be ready to face the king’s wrath alongside me!”Justin replied.
” The … the King?” Ronald asked perplexed. If there’s a person Ronald would rather take a long road so as not to meet him is the King. His name was enough to tame the wild Ronald.
” Yes, the king!” Justin replied not quite understanding why his friend will always stutter mentioning his father’s name. Well that’s a story for another day.
” I already sent you her location, should I come with you?” Ronald asked his tone, taking a hundred and eighty transformation.
” No need, it’s better to be low-key so as to not alert the media.” Justin gave the most plausible reason. Truth was he didn’t for some unknown reason entertain the idea of another man seeing her.
” Okay, inform me of the outcome.” Ronald said and after exchanging a few more words, they ended the call.
Justin changed direction by taking a shortcut to his destination.
His car was practically racing, one would mistake him like a racer.
In no time, he arrived at the designated location and sprang out of his car heading to the apartment door.
Inside the apartment, the three girls were contemplating on how to deal with their current predicament. The three genius business women had no clue on how to deal with a bunch of crazy fans and the only person who could be their saviour was as clueless as them.
This was the first time for them.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
While the girls were racking their brains out, the main culprit was comfortably seated enjoying her black coffee and a toast.
” Ah! life can be enjoyable sometimes!” June said stretching herself to adjust her position to a more comfortable one.
” I hope you like my gift Miranda.” She said and smiled evilly.
” One day, you will thank me.” she added.
The girls were seated in the sitting room by now when they heard the bell to the door ring. They all turned to look at Ava.
” What? I am not expecting any visitors!” She replied before they could even ask the question.
” Then who could it be?” Lucia asked sceptically.
” How should I know?” Ava replied with a question.
” What if it’s the media?” Stacy asked.
” That’s impossible! How could they know where Miranda is so fast?” Ava opposed the idea.
” Okay, I’ll go check so you can all relax.” Miranda said, standing up to go open the door.
“No way!” The three girls practically yelled, horror written all over their faces.
