In the car, Sandy looked disturbed. She turned to Dn. He was focused on his tablet. She sighed angrily. Did he even realize something was wrong?


    “You are sighing for the fifth time now. What is wrong?” She said without looking up.


    “That woman… Is she not weird?”


    “Weird? Is she?” Sandy squeezed her eyes shut. Was this man bent on angering her?


    “Yes, she is. She kept staring at my stomach, and it made me uneasy” Dn paused and looked up.


    “I know”


    “You knew?”


    “Yes. That was why I requested we leave early”


    “Are we not going to do anything about this?”


    “I will look into her. Nothing will happen. Do not worry”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    “She stared at you for sometime and she even called you handsome” she looked out the window.


    “Are you jealous?”


    “In your dreams”


    He chuckled. “Like I said earlier, don’t worry. I am all yours”  he held her small hands.


    He said to Sebastian who was driving. “I want every information on Amelia Wagner. Even to the smallest detail”


    “Yes sir”


    At the old mansion, Jared stood alone at the entrance when someone came up behind him.


    “Hi” Amelia smiled. He only nodded. “What are you doing out here?”


    “Nothing”


    “Actually we have met before… at a meeting in France. You looked very busy, so I could not approach you”


    Jared didn’t have my desire to speak to her, but he wanted to satisfy his curiosity. “How long are you going to stay here.


    “It’s indefinite”


    “While you are here, where will you stay?”


    She smiled bashfully. “I initially wanted to get a hotel, but grandfather insisted I stay here, so I will be here”


    He wanted to ask why she came in the first ce, but refrained.


    “Jared!” Jane sprinted out of nowhere and stood beside Jared. She raised her chin at Amelia as if marking her territory. “Why don’t we leave now?” I already bid uncle and aunt goodbye. She had taken a risk. She secretly prayed he wouldn’t tell her off.


    He didn’t speak and only walked away.


    She raised her chin even more challenging while Amelia only smiled. It irked her more.


    “See youter, Jared” she said after him, but he didn’t stop.


    Jane snorted and walked away.


    The next morning, luckily, Valerie had a day off. She was descending the stairs when the doorbell rang.


    “Were you expecting someone?” She asked.


    “No. I was about to ask the same”


    She went to the door and was beyond surprised to see Sandy.


    “Sandy! How were you able toe here? Did he finally let you out of the house alone?”


    She shook her head and pointed behind her. There were about eight bodyguards behind her, fully armed.


    Valerie’s mouth rounded into an ‘O’.


    “Come in”


    As she did, the men were about to follow her. “What are you doing? You want to follow me inside? Are you perverts?” She asked angrily.


    “Ma’am, we have received strict orders not to-”


    “Strict orders! Strict orders! Strict orders!” She screamed at all of them. La and Valerie flinched. She was frustrated already. “I’m your madam, right? I order you to stay outside, unless you want to lose your job”


    “Ma’am, we are really going to lose our heads if anything happens to you. Please just let one of use in” she pped her hands against her forehead and went in, one of the men behind her.


    “Woah! You are acting like a real madam now”


    “La, I’m d you are back”


    “I’m really sorry. I should have called you back then. Let’s just say back then, I was mad because… you had to leave just like that”


    “It’s okay” she sighed. “This life is so exhausting” she rested her back.


    “Uh….. guys, there is something I need your help with. Especially you La”


    The bodyguard was about ten feet away from them.


    She beckoned them closer. “There is thisdy who came to the old mansion yesterday”


    “Old mansion? Where is that?” Valerie asked.


    “It’s Dn’s grandfather’s house. He brought a woman yesterday and there was something weird about her. She kept staring at my stomach. It was so suspicious. Dn said he was going to look into it, but he might not tell me what the results was”


    “Do you know who she is?”


    “ording to grandfather, her name is Amelia Wagner, and she is the Princess of Syldavia”


    “A princess?”


    “Do you know where she will stay?


    “I have no idea, but my guts says the old mansion. Grandfather seems to like her a lot”


    “Being in the middle of a wolf and a suspected wolf” La shook her head. “Poor you. What do you want to know?”


    “The kind of person she really is”


    “Let’s go to my power room”


    Sandy red at the bodyguard. “Don’t you dare think of following me” They all went to the room. Valerie and Sandy sat while La worked. They were not going to understand a thing anyway.


    “Guys,e over. It says here that she is the only child of King Larry of Syldavia and she is also kind”


    Valerie scoffed.


    “I know not to judge people by what they seem outside or what people portray them as. I never knew Jane was so ugly inside until I married Dn”


    “She does charity, donating gifts and money to orphanages every Christmas”


    “It could all be a facade” Valeriemented.


    “I’ll try to study her”


    “Don’t!” La suddenly said. “It is dangerous. We don’t know the kind of person she is. Let Dn do it since he is looking into it while you focus on taking care of your baby”


    Sandy nodded. “You are right. I guess I’ll do that”


    ****************


    A man limped into Damon’s drawing room.


    “Did you do what I asked you to do?”


    “Yes boss. There was nothing special about her movement except leaving for work and going back home, but she didn’t go to work today. She was indoor all day”


    “Really?”


    “Yes”


    Damon furrowed his brows. Was she sick? He whipped out his phone and dialed Valerie’s number.


    “What is it?”


    “What’s with the tone? Ami I interrupting something important?”


    “Yes… no. you are not. Why are you calling?”


    “Are you alright?” There was a pause.


    On the other end, Sandy and La were staring at her with so much interest. “Of course. Why would I not be?”


    “I… nevermind” he could not let her know he had someone tail her. She was going to get mad. “Do you want to go out for a drink?”


    “Now?”


    “Uh… I guess you are busy. What about tonight?”


    “Okay then. I’ll hang up now” she ended the call and the phone was immediately snatched from her.


    “Damon, huh?” La smiled. “Who is he?” She winked.


    “He is…. just a friend”


    “Hmmm. Are you sure?” Sandy winked at her too. “Come on, guys. He is really just a friend” Still, they didn’t look like they believed her.


    “Okay. If you say so” Sandy said with a smile.


    Damon stood up ready to leave the room, but was a little surprised to see his minion still in the room.


    “Why are you still here?”


    “There is something I must tell you”


    “You know how much I hate being kept in the dark so speak!”


    “The old mansion has a new arrival”


    Damon narrowed his eyes. “Who is it?”


    “It is princess Amelia”


    “What! What the fuck is she doing there?”
