Pregnant For The Royal Prince

RINA’S eyes widened in astonishment.

“I can’t? Why can’t I?” She asked, spreading out her arms. “Is it that it isn’t time convenient yet? Well if it is, then tell me when it would be convenient, so I can know”, she continued.

Nurse Meda sighed.

“It’s not that girl, although it’s not yet time convenient but it’s not that”, she said.

“Okay, then what? I just wanna know the sex of my child”, she said.

“I can’t grant you this wish Rina”, she said.

“Huh! But why?” She asked, already looking agitated.

Meda was too reluctant to say a word and she noticed it.

“That is not part of our jobs”, she said.

Rina relaxed more comfortably into the couch.

“Okay I get now, it’s the Queen right?” She asked.

“Well yeah, she has said it isn’t part of our jobs, so we have no business with that”, she said.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Rina scoffed.

“Oh really? Scanning pregnancy isn’t your job anymore?”

“Oh please it’s enough”, Gilga spoke up, for the second time since they entered the house. Rina turned to her.

“Nurse Meda has just told you what you ought to know, what you ask for, won’t be possible. Ahh! Don’t do like you are the first woman ever to get pregnant please, knowing gender and not knowing gender what difference does it makes?” Gilga continued, visibly angry.

Rina let her finish and then turned back to Meda, as far as she was concerned, she was the nurse and not that jealous twerp.

“I just want to know the gender of my baby, the Queen wouldn’t know, please Nurse”, she pleaded, rubbing her palms together.

“There are guards watching, so if we ever try to do that, I’m sure you already know who she is”, she replied.

“Hmm. Why is the Queen so bent on causing me pain? Why?” She rhetorically lamented.

“You know what Rina, I would advise you to ask her direct, instead of asking from us”, Meda suggested.

Trash that, Rina said within her. She never wasn’t gonna do that, that was the least of what she wants to do.

“Hmph. Can we go on for today?” Meda asked and Rina slowly turned to her, stared for a while then nodded.

Zaina rallied around her posh room looking for something simple to put on so she could rush down to Rina’s place.

She had arrived Shimla like twenty minutes ago, from Kuru, with the royal family’s private jet.

She finally found something to wear and was almost done putting it on when a soft knock came on the door. She snapped her head at it and looked away.

“Come in”, she said and her mother opened the door and came in.

“Zaina”, Mrs Sarika called.

“Yes mom”, she replied and took her phone from the bed, then stood straight to face her.

“I hope your friend is really fine”, she said.

Zaina sighed.

“I hope so too”.

“Have you still called again?” She asked.

She nodded.

“I have, but it keeps saying the same thing. The more reason I should go find out what is wrong”, she said.

Mrs Sarika nodded.

“You are right. Go well”, she wished.

“Thank you mummy”, she hugged her, “I will see you later”, she said and they both walked out of the room.

As soon as she got to the living room, she called out to her chauffeur and proceeded outside to the garage. He came out few minutes later.

“Give me the keys, I will be driving myself”, she said.

“Okay ma’am”, the chauffeur replied and handed the keys to her, then left.

She took it, opened the door and lowered herself in. Then she turned on the ignition and revved the car, spurring it into action. Soon, she drove away.

It was a fifty five minutes drive from her house, and so exactly fifty five minutes later, she was already at the house.

She drove in characteristic of her and halted, making a loud screech, so as to attract her (Rina).

Then she came out of the car, only to meet a grave silence. What! So she put her right hand into the car and located the horn, then honked and honked, yet, no one came out. What could be wrong?

Everywhere still looked silent, as silent as graveyard. She then left her car side and walked up to the house and to the entrance door, she tried the knob, it didn’t open, it was locked.

“God!” She exclaimed, “what’s all these? What exactly is going on?” She rhetorically asked.

Then she left the entrance and went to her garage, it was locked. So she peeped through a hole and saw that there was no car in it, it was empty.

“Jeez!” She screamed out.

Just then, her phone beeped, making a notification sound and she opened it. What she saw next shocked her to her marrows.

It was a random post made by some of her classmates and posted to their class set’s group on her social media handle. It was a group of photos and videos from the previous night at the club, the captions were captivating, the photos and videos were chilling. What exactly was going on?

She didn’t make any more search for Rina as she instantly knew it probably has a connection with this, but just saved some of the videos and pictures and immediately sent them to Raghav, then placed a call across to him.

Vidya was sitting at the sit-out close to the parking lot and having some wine. She was also surfing on her phone.

It was already mid-afternoon and Roshni had already gone back a long time since the morning.

She had actually been worried Queen Arya was going to call her and ask about the reckless spending and partying the previous night. She was thinking she must have asked the maids or guards and they must have told her everything.

Therefore, she had been on her toes, like a cat on hot bricks, expecting and expecting to be summoned by the Queen.

God! This was her lifestyle and she just couldn’t curtail it even though she was to be a future queen, and a role model and mentor. She just couldn’t change this lifestyle but she had resolved she was gonna try to amend it a little bit.

Well, of the contrary, she was satisfied the Queen didn’t call, neither did she retaliate or scold her for the previous night, instead, she had even asked how the celebration went, if she had celebrated well enough, and if the money was enough for her.

She smiled, this is her type, her kind of mother.

She was still peacefully having her wine and going through her phone when a car speedily drove into the parking lot, startling her.

She looked up at once and saw a black Nissan revving to a halt, she looked on, wondering who it was.

She was still looking when the front door opened and a palace guard came out, walked to the other side of the car and opened it, and someone came out. It was the Prince!
