His Majesty - Episode 5

Okay!!! Let's go!!

Stunning!

That was the first word that came to my mind when the door was opened.

Who is this sun goddess! that is dressed in blue dinner gown with an embroidery placed fittedly on her chest. Her face glow just like the morning sun and I'm nothing but consumed by this amazing beauty.

“Hi, I'm here to pick Vanessa the secretary, is she in there?” I asked and the person at the door could only look at me as if I just declared I was Adolf Hitler.

“This is Vanessa, sir” my eyes went wide as I recognized the voice that had sang good morning and good night into my ears for over a year now.

“Okay, I just couldn't recognise you. You look cleaned up and it does fit you a bit” I said and the look on her face makes it so obvious that she was angry and I don't give a damn. Just because she looks beautiful doesn't mean I should go on my knees and worship her.

“My car is down the street there, let's go” I gestured for her to come out of the house and follow me but she stood still before opening her mouth to talk.

“My purse is inside, you can go and I'll meet you up in a second” and with that she disappeared into the house and I was forced to drag myself back to the car and wait patiently for her.

I faced the rear mirror of the car and addressed myself. “You almost blew it off there, Richard

. Beautiful women are still your weakness, just because of that you almost lost your dignity and pride in front of a secretary. Control Richard, Control!”

“I'm sorry I took so long, I had to fix something back at the house” she apologised immediately she entered the car

“I almost thought you'd stand me up, but good job secretary, good job” to be sincere, I had busied myself with teaching the man in the mirror control that I hadn't noticed she took her time coming out.

“My name's Vanessa not Secretary, at least for tonight” She corrected and turned her face to the window.

Spotlights, camera, action!! were the menu at the venue, the lights were blinding as I struggled to get Vanessa inside the party, with the help of the bodyguards and the bouncers and when we successful did, I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

That was tough, I told myself

“Do you think I'll be able to get back to my normal life by tomorrow?”

“Why do you say that?, Miss Vanessa” I queried as a strolled towards the door. I was about opening it when I felt Vanessa's hand on mine stopping me from opening it.

“With that spotlight and cameras, family and friends, enemies and allies, you think my life will be the same?”

“Don't try to play smart with me, Vanessa. You know what you were up to before signing up for it” I scolded

“Are you being serious right now?, you practically forced me into this and now you're telling me this?”

She replied angrily.

“There's a party right In front of us, we'll have this discussion later” I took her hand into mine and dragged her into the party not without whispering into her ear— let the show begin*

“Hey Richard, who's the hot chick with you?” I bit my inner cheek as I watch my second cousin who also happens to be my most hated family walks towards us.

“That's Sam, we are not really close” I whispered to Vanessa before turning to greet my cousin with a side hug.

“This is Vanessa, my girlfriend and meet Sam, my cousin” I introduced the two of them and after they exchanged greetings, Sam winked at me.

“You've got a hot one there, cousin. She's totally gorgeous” he smirked.

“Thank you and my baby here has told me a lot about you”

where is that coming from?

“I hope they're good things though”

“Both good and bad but mostly good” she replied and clinged her hand to mine.

After greeting most people for a while the entrance of both my parent were announced and both me and Vanessa walked towards them.

“Seeing your face like this is a drug to my system”

“I hope it's medicinal drug and not the other one” I said before pulling him into a hug.

“Hey dad, long time no see.

. You look old”

“You can say that again son and I'm proud to see you're doing really good. I'm proud of you son” he pulled me into another hug.

“Hi Tiffany, you look good” I greeted My mom grudgingly. She didn't respond at first before proceeding to ask Vanessa who she was.

“Sorry, my bad. This is Vanessa my girlfriend, and Vanessa meet my parent”

I knew my mom didn't believe anything I said and all she did was look at the tiny lady beside me with disbelief.

“Which household are you from, miss?” I had to roll my eyes at her stupid question.

“She's not of the Arab emirate, mom. She's from the Philippines” I answered for her.

“She has a mouth Richard, let her respond to her own question” she cautioned before pulling Vanessa to the table for the dinner.

“Silence please everyone” my big uncle said before making the toast. “To the king and his family and to the only prince given to the Arab emirate for coming home for the first time in two years . Long live the Arab emirate”

“Long live the Arab emirate” we all chorused after him

“Why are you with my son?” My mom asked her and for the second time that night, she was tongue tied.

“Because I love him” she replied

“Love is not a word in my son's dictionary, so don't give me that part my dear one” my mom said glaring at me.

“I don't know what you're talking about, but I love Richard a lot” her voice was shaking and it was evident that she was scared.

“I haven't seen you guys hold hands or talk to each other with smiles in your face and your eyes and you want me to believe it's love.

Before Vanessa could lie under her breath again, I replied her myself.

“She's pregnant with my child, I think that should be enough proof”
