They arrived at Naples, Richard didn’t stop talking about, how beautiful it is in Naples. “This place is beautiful..”
“Yeah. It is.” She replied. Minutes later, they arrived at the palace and everyone including the ministers were there to welcome to them. They celebrated the return of the late king grandson.
“Do you like it?” Amelia asked, as he was looking around his room. “Yeah, I like it. Just like the one in Rome…” He replied and sat on the bed.
“Yeah. And I got you a nanny. She will be here tomorrow morning to take care of your needs and also take you to school.”
“Won’t you follow me to school tomorrow?” He asked, with a fixed gaze. “I have to go to the company tomorrow morning.” She muttered.
“Gosh. You’re ridiculous. I can’t believe you are saying this.” He mumbled and stood up. “I’m sorry, Rich…” She uttered.
“You should have left me there. If it’s Henderson he would drop me off and then head to his work place..” He said, rudely and heading to the bathroom.
“Richard… Don’t call me, now you’ve the opportunity but you don’t want to take me to school..”
“But I just told you that I have to go to… The company. Fine. Go.” He said, harshly and walk into the bathroom. “Richard… Richard..” She yelled out, but he didn’t answer her.
She waited for him to come out of the bathroom and some minutes he came out, with a towel on his waist.
“Richard, am sorry. I will drop you off tomorrow morning before going to the company..” She muttered.
“You don’t have to, you can go to your work.” He replied and took out another pajamas, leaving the ones she brought out for him.
“Gosh, he exactly like my brother. Hot tempered and cute.” She thought and smiled.
“You can leave now, please I want to sleep.” He mumbled. “You can’t go to sleep now, we haven’t eaten yet.” She muttered. “Fine.” He mumbled and walked out of the room, she sighed loudly.
They had dinner and Richard went to his bedroom, he slept off and some minutes later, Amelia walked in and covered him with the duvet.
The following day, Richard woke up first and he was surprised to find his sister laying on the couch, he get down from the bed to the couch she was laying and tapped her on her arm. She opened her eyes, slowly and stretched out. “Hey!”
“Good morning, Queen.” He greeted and gave her a surprised hug. “I’m sorry about last night.” He muttered. “It’s okay.” She mumbled and pat his back.
“Com’on you should get ready for school and I will drop you off at the school.” She said, as they broke from hug. “Thank you.” He said, happily and went to bathroom. She left for her bedroom.
Richard get dressed for school, by his nanny. They came down for breakfast and they ate. “You didn’t tell me that you she is the new nanny.” Richard said.
“You’re surprised, right?'” She questioned. He nod and added, “I was surprised, when I saw her with my uniform.” He replied.
After eating, Amelia and Richard left with the guards. She dropped him off at school and then head to her Father’s company, which is official hers now.

Daniel walked in, she glanced at him and then moved to the bed. “How are you?” He said.
“Stop bothering my life, acting like you care. You don’t care Daniel. You don’t.” She muttered.
“That’s not true, Nora. I care. Nora, please listen this. I wanna make things clear..”
“There’s nothing to make clear here. Listen to me at least this once. It’s killing me… Fine.” She cut him off, more like yelling. He didn’t bother, because he knows that he’d hurt her.
“When you left Milan, I came back for you. ..you said it like a thousand times..” She cut him off again, he sighed softly.
“I met Kate, we became friends and I liked her. We started dating and she became pregnant for me. I took her in my house, we lived together and I did everything to make sure she is happy, you know pregnant women and their hormones. On the day of delivery, she was rushed to the hospital and I wasn’t on duty that day. But I was by her side and she delivered a baby girl..” He paused for while, until she came up with a question.
“Where’s she?” Saanvi asked. He looked at her and gave a little smile, “She’s dead.. She didn’t get to spend time with her daughter, she left. Before dying, she said.. Please go back to my friend…I have betrayed her, am dying and I’m paying for my sins. Please take care of my child and tell her that I love her, get my friend and tell her that am sorry. Please tell her to take my daughter as hers..”
She was short of words.
°°°°°°°
“Doctor, D..” Bethel mumbled, he was surprised to see her. He stood and hugged her, Saanvi stared at them.
“How are you doing today?” She muttered. “I’m good.. And you?”
“Well, am always good. You know am still a kid and kids don’t know much about stress..” She replied, smiling.
“Uhmm! Bethel this Nora, a friend and lover. Nora meet Bethel my daughter…” Daniel muttered.
“Hi..” Saanvi said, with a smile.
“Well, dad. We met at the garage and she helped me with my dress..” Bethel mumbled. “Oh, that’s nice.” He replied.
“She’s beautiful..” Bethel whispered to his ear, he smiled. “Do you like her?” He asked. “Yes, and I hope she likes me too.” She replied with a smile.
“Let’s go get something to eat..” He muttered. “Won’t you come with us?” Bethel asked Saanvi. “No, am good.'” She replied and smiled.

HOURS PASSED
Amelia managed to talk to Saanvi, she convinced her and she finally accepted to stay with Daniel, in his house. Daniel took her to his house and showed her one of the room, that she will be staying.
“Mine is close. In case you need anything, please call me.” He muttered. She nods and he left.
Daniel’s mother returned back and he told her that Nora is here. She was very happy and she went to her room. Nora was surprised to see her, Daniel didn’t tell her that his mom was around. Nora hugged her and they talked, Daniel’s mom plead with her about what happened in the past. She told her that Daniel has explained everything to her and she not angry with her or the child.
That night, Daniel’s mom prepared dinner and they all ate together as one big family.
IN ROME
The councils and Henderson had a meeting, about him getting a wife. He asked them to give him some time to fix some things, concerning the fact that he lost his son.
They heard what happened and they insisted that he she get married. He openly told him that, him and Amelia broke up.
After such discussion, they suggested that he should get another woman and marry her to save the kingdom and his throne. “Whose daughter?” He asked.
“The prime minister’s daughter. She just came back from the states and she is from a good family and your father and her father were friends. This will make the relationship strong.” Minister of finance said, with a bow.
“Alright..” He muttered. The councils left his palace and he was left alone, thinking about his life and the woman he loved. “I still love you, Amelia.”
?You’ve turned me into a better person.
You’re the reason for my happiness
What I’ve achieved today, is just because of you.
We might have to part our ways tomorrow, I might not have you by my side.
You will live in my memories forever.
I will wait for you.
I will continue to love you.
I will happily give up my life for you
I will continue to love you.?
This emotional song was playing from the background, while he get himself drunk. Ethan came to the palace after he got a call from.
“How do I express my pain? How do I live such a life? Please tell me. I was happy as long as you were with me.
You made me forget my pain. I wanted to make more memories with you. It seem like I am taking a walk down memory lane. Help me find a way of hope, make this crying heart laugh again. Make me see the world through your eyes.
Let’s get back together. Don’t keep me waiting. I feel lonely without you. You made me fall, yes I fell deeply in love with Amelia.
I don’t understand desires anymore. I wish I could travel back in time, but memories are all I have now.
Life wants me to fall again. I wished for something else.
And I ended up having something else!
Happiness has come my way. But my heart isn’t willing to accept it. Happiness doesn’t last long.
Why’s my heart so restless, without any reason?
I still want you back.
I will continue loving you.” He muttered and lay on the couch. Ethan walked into his room, with his grandma.
“He has been acting this way, since she left him. He has resumed his old bad habit. Smoking.” Miranda mumbled and shook her head, in disbelief and wiped her tears.
“Granny, don’t worry. I will talk to him.” Ethan said, so sweetly. She nods and he took her to her bedroom, she lay on the bed. “Good night..” He muttered and went back to his room.
He carried him and lay him on the bed. “Why are you doing this?” He muttered and closed his eyes, he thought it was her. Ethan watched as tears dropped from his eyes. “I have never seen such thing before..” He muttered.
