ROE'S POV "What?!" I yelled. "You can't possibly send her here father, what's with the sudden getting along news? I'm totally fine by myself. I thought you said till I turn 25 and that's till a full year." "Well my dear son, you are still getting married to her on your 25th birthday. The reason I'm sending her to you is because I noticed you've become completely lenient on the policy I gave you." Shit! He must have been monitoring my activities and his spies must have told him about Penny. "But father I'm not dating anyone, I've been abiding by your policy for a long time now. Arianna doesn't have to come here." I pleaded. "Roe you must have forgotten that you are royalty, I'm doing you the favour of reminding you. Your elder brother the crown prince is happily married to a princess, Rebekah is also married to the crown Prince of Wales, your younger sister Diane is engaged to a prince too and you know that, you were there. How then will yours be different? You're Royal blood Roe, no matter how you try to run away from it, you can't. People are looking up to you and there's nothing you can do about it." He said nonchalantly. I ran my hand into my hair in frustration. "But mother wasn't..." "Don't even try that Roe." He interrupted. "I am not just your father, I am King Steven of England and you know better than to question my decision. I've given you too much leniency and it's all because of your mother, American's ideas is now running through your senses. Well I'm kicking out those Ideas right away, prepare to meet your bride in two days. Make sure to get along with her properly." He deadpanned and I kicked my bed in annoyance. "Please father I don't love Arianna and neither does she love me. Please stop doing this to us." I begged frantically again. "You'll learn to love each other soon my boy. If not that the crown princess of Ireland; Princess Emerald, Arianna's elder sister, left home at a very early age and refused to come back it would have been her. But my dear friend, King Jonas is too feeble minded to force her back. Roe my dear son, the kingdom of England as a whole is looking up at you. The only way you could have cut out of this betrothal is if you fall in love with another princess from any of the bristish kingdoms but it's so sad you didn't. I'm a busy man Roe, my decision is still final. Goodbye." "No dad please..." He hung up. My eyes clouded with tears and I sank unto the floor. This is just too much. If his father; my late grandfather could allow him to marry a normal person why can't he do same for me? Mother wasn't even British, she's american till she got married to him. He fell in love with her while studying here, I heard it was a tough war in which scandals arose but he was finally able to convince his dad and they got married. Although mother wasn't an ordinary citizen, she's the daughter of one of the most popular and powerful ex-senators of America. Penny might just be a wealthy normal girl, I was about finding out more when his call interrupted me. I'm beginning to fall in love with this girl, but father wants to ruin my plans. Why are fathers so difficult? I can't believe he said the only way out is to fall in love with another british princess, how is that even possible? God! I just want a normal life, not this royalty kind of life they are trying to impose on me. Arthur, Rebekah and Diane could sink in their Royal lives for all I care... Maybe I should call mother and ask her to help stop Arianna from coming here, after all she's the Queen Consort. I quickly dialed her line and she picked up. "Mother," I cried. "Please help me talk to father about this." I begged. "My dear son, I've been talking to your dad since you were 16 when you made it clear that you can never love Arianna but your father as you know is very stubborn. I'm so sorry Roe. You know, Rebekah never accepted Prince Jonathan at first but with time she fell in love with him and she's happy now, same with Diane. Arthur was the easiest to fall in love with a princess and your father was happy. I'm hoping you can do so too my son, I'm hoping you'll fall in love with her when she's close. You know you were never close to her so how can you tell, get close to her and I trust you guys would get along properly." She said. I can't believe this... What!!! "Mother are you saying you can't do anything about her coming here?" I asked just to be sure about all she just said. "I'm sorry Roe, my hands are tied on decisions like this. Your father's decisions are always final. You know how difficult it was for me persuading him to let you study in America. He's going to blame this on me now. I'm sorry my son." She said. I know she's right, father's decisions are always final and he's also very stubborn. He's already blaming mother for my adamancy. "I understand mother, goodbye." I said and hung up. I flung the phone on the bed angrily. Well well, you might just come Arianna let's see that we end this together. We can come up with a fantastic plan, it'll be very easy because she's also not interested in me. We are being forced to do this. Since father's being stubborn, I'm also gonna be stubborn. I wiped my eyes because tears were running down already. Just then, the room door opened and Jay walked in. His eyes widened on seeing my pathetic state. "Roe what's happening? Why are you like this?" He asked and ran to me immediately. "They are sending her here Jay, in two days time." I sobbed. "What!!!" DIVA'S POV The End... Displayed on the TV and I turned to the girls, we all had the same expression after about four hours of watching the movie.. "Somebody tell me something, was that really Lucia acting?" Tania said in disbelief. "No I think it was her twin sister." Lia said sarcastically with a chuckle. "Such epic movie." Kim said. "Whoever wrote this movie script is a genius." I added. "I totally agree," Lia said. "OMG. Lucia's such a good actress." Tania said as she popped a piece of cake into her mouth. Midway into the movie, we finished the popcorns so we replaced them with cakes. "If only she can be as nice in reality as that character she acted. She'll be totally fine." I said while sipping from my orange drink. "Rightly said." Tania chipped and stood up stretching her back. "I can't remember the last time I sat down to watch a movie like this for straightly four hours." She said and we laughed shortly. "Same here." I agreed. "Not really sure." Kim said smilingly. "Well girls, I think I should call Carl. I think he's rested enough." Tania said walking away. I chuckled and called her back. Carl woke up an hour ago and went to his hotel room to freshen up. "Let him be for now Tania, we've got to practice now remember." I said. "Oh that's true." She said and walked back to the couch. "Haven't this two slept enough? It's time to wake up sleepy heads." Lia said indicating, Candy and Alex. They slept off three hours ago, folding themselves on the two bigger couches beside her. "Three hours sleep is enough for a siesta they need to wake up, besides Alexis needs to practice." Kim said as she smiled at their sleeping faces. Since she was very close to them, she tapped them gently. Candy opened her sleepy eyes first, Alex just curled up more on the couch. I smiled and walked to her. "Wakey, wakey sleeping beauty. It's time to dance RoboCop with black Diva." I said in a singsong squatting beside her and removing hair strands from her face. My eyes trailed her wrist and I noticed the bracelet was still there. I smiled as she opened her eyes instantly on hearing my words and the girls laughed. "Let's hurry, the boys will soon be here." Tania said standing up again. "Yeah but this two need to wash up sleep from those eyes." Lia smiled and walked to them. "Come with me will you?" She said and they lazily stood up from the couch and followed her upstairs. I smiled. DANIEL'S POV I smiled as I watched the girls dance so perfectly, my eyes was mostly fixed on Diva and the little kid, Alex. I just can't help notice the similarities between them, even their smiles were alike. Roe was sitting on the bench with me in their basket ball court although he was still a bit moody because there's a lot on his mind right now. I didn't let him stay alone at the dorm before he drowns himself with too much thinking. I brought him along in other to ease his mind a bit. Our lives has been so boring before but since the girls came into our lives, it's been fun and fulfilment filled. But it seems Roe's dad and my dad are trying to ruin it for us, though I'll never let mine succeed. They are just so difficult, it's gonna be difficult for Roe to do anything unlike me. His father has an upper hand in this situation and since Roe's of Royal blood he just have to follow protocols, all we can do now is hope for a miracle to happen. Candace, Saline's little sister seems to like Jay, she had him pinned on a seat while she sat up a higher stool and braid his hair. I trailed my eyes to the girls again. Their dance instructor what's his name again? yeah Justin was saying something. "You girls are doing great, especially you my little cutie." He smiled at Alexis and she smiled shyly. "Girls let's move on to the next step. Zelda play the next song." He shouted to a girl and she did as she was instructed. "One minute Justin." Rosy said to the guy before running to us. "Come dear friend, I'll lighten that mood of yours." She said smilingly as she pulled Roe up and drag him to the girls. "Rosy what are you doing?" Roe asked in a whisper. He was surprised. "We want you to dance with us." The four girls said smirkingly in unison. "What???" He gasped and Jay and I laughed. "You can do it bro," Jay shouted laughingly. "Make us proud." I added and he faced palmed himself. "Zelda change the song. We'll continue that one later, for now let's have fun. Everyone to the dance floor." My sweety said laughingly and I smiled. Alexis ran to me and pulled me up, Candy left Jay's hair and dragged him to the dance floor. Soon everyone was dancing, jumping and laughing happily. We were all having fun including Roe, Tania was making him do a mock break dance as they laughed. I smiled as I danced beside Diva, she's my everything and my happiness. I could see Zelda as they call her videoing with a camera as she and Justin laughed... FAST FORWARD>>> "Awnn you guys are leaving now?" Diva said as she hugged me tight. It was evening already and we are about leaving. Roe's mood was better than before thanks to the angels we call our girls, he was talking and laughing with Lisa right now. "Yes sweetie, I know, I'm missing you already too. I'll see you tomorrow okay? Have a goodnight rest when you go to bed later." I said and kissed her forehead. She smiled. "You too JD love, I love you." She said and I smiled. "I love you more my heartcode." I said and she blushed. I looked behind and saw Candy and Alex, trying a dance step playfully. "Hey cuties," they turned to me and I beckoned them closer. "Come give me a hug, I'm leaving with my friends now." They squealed and ran to me. And I hugged them laughingly. They are so cute... "Goodbye," they said happily. "Yeah, I'll see you little angels some other time okay," they nodded their little heads and waved before running back to their initial positions. "Hey you should say goodbye to me too or I'll spank you later." I chuckled and turned to her. "Goodbye Queen Lisa," I smiled and hugged her. "Yikes! Goodbye to you too, King of girls." She said and everyone laughed. I turned and walked to my car. Roe was already leaning by the door, we rode here with my car, I'll be changing it soon though, once it's three months old. Yup, I change my cars every three months.... We entered the car and everyone waved us goodbye. I blew a kiss to my heartcode and she returned the gesture, I smiled as I guided the car out of the park and drove towards the gate, Jay's car was right behind me. Just as we were hitting the highway, Roe turned on the car radio as he was sitting beside me, entertainment news was going on. '...popular pop singer, Goldie Davis visits the BJ's health care hospital in Sacramento today. It's rumoured that she came to visit her twin brother Johnny Davis although this is not yet a conf...' The speed with which I swerved the car and parked it away from the highway was stunning. What?? Goldie Davis is here in Sacramento and she even had a twin brother? Johnny Davis the VC's son is her twin brother? Oh my God! That bitch was a total sly. All the years we were dating, I never knew she's twin, infact I didn't even knew a thing about her family. "Are you okay?" Roe calmly asked, I couldn't answer him. Whatever her reason for coming here is, she better not show her face to me. My expression was already clouded by hate at the mention of her name but I suddenly remembered my heart Queen and I smiled and calmed down. "I'm fine bro, sorry for the way I stopped the car." I said with a small smile, I noticed he had turned off the radio. I looked behind the rearmirror and saw Jay's car approaching from a close distance. I quickly started my car and we hitted the highway again. Just don't show your face to me again Goldie, you are past tense to me now, one that wasn't meant to be there in the first place. I'm sure you must have heard the news and since you are a sly you'll want to see with your eyes. Well whatever you do don't just come before me again.
JAY'S POV My car radio was turned on so I understand why Dan swerved his car that way. What's she doing here anyway? I can't believe she had a twin brother all those while but never told us a thing. But her twin brother now happens to be Johnny Davis the medical student who was admitted at the hospital because of the beating he received from the bandits Lucia sent. Wow! This is so messed up. I was still busy thinking about this latest news when a text message popped in my phone. I glanced at it quickly and expertly to avoid losing concentration on the road and what I saw? Oh my God! The message was from an unknown number but on reading it contents, I knew who sent it. *Hey Jay! I know I've offended you guys a lot and so I don't have the right to even say a word to any of you. I'm really sorry. Please I'm in Sacramento now to see my family and I'll like to have a word with you at your campus when you're less busy* From: Goldie*
Just imagine this girl, how dare her come in a time like this? Why didn't she come when Dan was still battling with the terrible situation she left him? Why come now when he's with his right woman? Deceptive Goldie, she must have heard about Dan and Diva. And now she wants to have a word with me? Isn't she abnormal? Why co...My thoughts were interrupted by what the news caster was saying. '....King Jonas of Ireland announced to his citizens an hour ago that his daughter princess Arianna would be arriving Sacramento in two days...' Jeez!!! How could they announce such news when the girl isn't here yet? Hope Roe didn't hear this? They must have turned off the radio, I hope. Why are things going this way for us? Goldie's here and now Arianna is coming. What!!!
