Pregnant For The Royal Prince

AS soon as the Beetle screeched to a halt in front of the house, Siddarth rushed out, and within minutes headed into the house. He didn’t come out immediately, he spent about five minutes in the house before coming out again.

He glanced at his wristwatch, 9:50pm, it read. Jeez! Was he still gonna be able to make it to the gang house, without him being suspected or something?

As he crossed the road and headed into the woods at that ungodly hour, he immediately came up with a story to tell to the gang concerning Roy.

He began running and running, with a heavy torchlight, deep into the woods. The atmosphere at that moment was expected, night birds and insects took the day, chirping and hooting at every corner of the woods.

Night crawlers, reptiles and amphibians were also in view. They all ran out of the road and into hiding places as soon as they heard or saw his light coming.

Siddarth wasn’t scared at all, I mean this was his thing, his job, his life since he left Shimla many years ago. The only thing he was scared of, was if the gang gonna accept his already cooked up story.

As he ran, he was so happy within himself that he had at least saved the baby. He didn’t know why he suddenly became sympathetic, Roy was actually right questioning about that anyway, for he was known to be brutal and deadly, never showed mercy to his victims.

But today, today was different. Suddenly, he had just felt the urge to save the child for one thing he knew, that child wasn’t an ordinary child.

Soon he got to the place where he had killed and disposed off Roy’s body, and an unseen force propelled him to check it out, and he did.

He got to the position where he had used a lot of dry leaves to cover the body, hoping to return the next day to bury it and jeez, he saw nothing, the body was gone!

What! For the first time in his life he became so afraid, fear enveloped him greatly. He looked around, even went further looking for this body, he didn’t see it.

Suddenly he stopped to think. Could it be that the gang had found out, probably they were followed? Or could it be Roy didn’t die as he had thought? But he was damn sure the bullet sank into his forehead, that spelt death right? But where the hell was the body?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Well, he shrugged it off and continued on his journey, hoping to return the next day to continue the search.

Few minutes later, he got to the gang house and entered. As soon as he entered, he saw the rest all seated and looking solemn, hmm, he calmed himself down.

“Hey”, he shortly greeted and walked in further, “task already carried out”, he said, to no one in particular.

There was no response, neither from the leader or any of the boys, none didn’t even ask of Roy, more reason he suspected they were aware. He still decided to play along though.

He sighed.

“Sorry Roy couldn’t make it, we were attacked…”.

“Where the hell have you been Siddarth?” The leader growled the question at him.

“And who the hell killed Roy? Who attacked you guys? Go on, speak”, he demanded, his red bulging eyes staring daggers at him.

Siddarth cringed. What! So they already knew, but how?

“Well, like I said, we were attacked by some angry mob who jumped out from nowhere in the woods as we were about killing the baby. I managed to escape with the baby, but unfortunately Roy couldn’t, and so was killed”, he calmly said.

A hush fell on the boys in the room as they glanced at their selves, knowing fully well that all that came out of Siddarth’s mouth, was lies.

Suddenly, the leader bursted into laughter, and this shocked Siddarth. He continued laughing and Siddarth continued watching, he was now on his guard, they already knew, no doubts.

“You don’t even know how to lie Siddarth”, the laughing man said as he stopped laughing, Siddarth said nothing, but only looked at him.

“An angry mob? From where exactly? In the woods? What did they come to do? To save the baby or what?” He rhetorically asked. Siddarth still kept mute.

There was a moment of silence and suddenly, the leader got up, fixing his gaze intently at Siddarth as he did.

“You killed Roy”, he let out the bombshell.

Siddarth shook, he already knew they were aware. He still kept his quiet.

“And I guess you saved the baby, flaunting the order I gave, a task that we were paid for huh, holy shit!” He cussed, fisting his hands.

“You are gonna pay for this Siddarth, with your life, because it is blood for blood, it has always been”, he said and within a twinkle of an eye, grabbed the revolver on the table and pointed towards Siddarth, releasing a bullet.

Immediately, Siddarth clicked his left fingers and instantly vanished into thin air. The bullet which divorced the revolver hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

“Holy shit!” The leader cussed again clicking his own fingers, and vanished into the air too.

“Oh my! What an adorable cute little thing”, Prisha exclaimed as she looked down at Raghav’s son in the cradle.

She and Zaina had gone into the room to see him, and were now standing close to his cradle. He was sleeping, and his nanny, the new nanny was sitting on the bed close by, watching them.

“Oh my gee! He took my eyes, can’t you see?” Zaina said and chuckled, clapping her hands lightly.

Prisha frowned.

“Lies. That eyes are Rina’s, but he took my nose though, pointed and beautiful. Look!” She said laughing.

“Silly!” Zaina said and laughed, “but seriously this is an offspring of our dear Prince Raghav, and Rina. The handsome facial looks of Raghav is here, the patches of red hair is visible, Rina is red haired”, she explained.

Prisha nodded knowingly.

“Very visible. Even the blind man in Shimla who repairs shoes down the market, can see it”, she said.

Zaina smiled and slapped at her shoulder.

“Must you say that? Why bring the old man into this?” She asked, laughing.

Prisha shrugged.

“Well forgive me”, then she put out her hands into the cradle and carry him up.

“Sorry if I’m disturbing your sleep darling, I needed to feel you sweet”, she said and held him tight to her chest, feeling his warmth. Zaina smiled.

“My gee! God bless you”, she said still holding him to her chest, “God bless the day you were born baby, God bless your parents, and find them for us”, she said and kissed his forehead.

“Amen!” Zaina said, smiling.

After the kiss on his forehead, she handed him to Zaina who happily accepted him, admiring and looking him over.

“Never knew Rina could produce such adorable child in that womb of hers”, she said and Prisha bursted into laughter.

“Nope, I beg to disagree, it’s the effort of my brother”, she said and winked, leaving Zaina laughing hysterically.

At this juncture, the door bursted open and little Alisha entered, properly dressed in her school uniform, her school bag still strapped on her back, she ran with speed towards the cradle.

“Where is my baby? Where is my baby? Where is my baby?” She kept on singing as she ran.

Zaina and Prisha turned to each other and bursted into laughter.

“Never knew you were pregnant Alibaby”, Prisha said, and they laughed out again.

Alisha got to them and stopped, she pouted.

“Good afternoon aunties, namaste”, she said putting her palms together.

“Afternoon dearie”, Zaina replied.

“Good afternoon Ali. So you couldn’t even wait to at least take off your school bag, before coming to see baby right?” Prisha asked.

Alisha pouted, ignoring her question.

“I want to carry baby, I want to carry baby”, she said, looking up to Zaina and raising up her hands.

Aarti told her of the baby that morning, and since then, she hasn’t had a rest, always talking about baby, and wanting to carry him.

Just then, the door opened again and Nanny Ralia barged in, she was looking furious, and looking around the room, obviously for Alisha.

She saw her standing by Zaina and asking to carry Raghav junior, fuming she walked up to her and spanked her ass.

“Ouch!” She shouted out, holding her spanked ass.

“You haven’t taken off your school bag, let alone your uniform, and you are here”, Ralia said, vibrating in anger.

Alisha pouted, looking downwards.

“I’m sorry”, she said.

“Will you get to your room right now?” She asked and little Alisha slowly and quietly walked out of the room.

Ralia then turned to the girls in the house, greeted them and left as well. Still in Zaina’s arms, the baby woke up and began crying.

“Oh my! Why the tears?” Zaina said and handed him over to his nanny who was already standing to accept him.

Prisha was on her phone all the while, she had just received a text message.

“Zaina, I think we have got work here, come over to the room”, she said and walked away, Zaina followed.

They walked hurriedly to the guest room where Prisha stays whenever she comes over and Zaina wondered what ‘work’ she meant.

As soon as they got to the room, Prisha locked up the door, increasing Zaina’s curiosity all the more.

“What is that? That you even had to lock the door”, Zaina said and sank into the bed.

Prisha simpered, licking her lips and still looking into her phone.

“You wouldn’t believe what I just got”, she said and sat close to her.

“What’s that?”

Prisha turned her gaze from the phone to her.

“You remember a dress I told you I gifted Zaina, under the guise of my mother?” She asked.

Zaina nodded.

“Yes I do. What about it?”

Prisha smiled satisfactorily.

“You know I had added a chip on it, well the guard whom I employed to help take care of that, just sent me a message, and a VN. His text said there’s something implicating”, she said and turned to the phone.

Zaina’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Really? Okay then, let’s listen to the VN”, she said.

Prisha played it instantly, and with keen interest, they listened.

The VN was the recorded discussion between Vidya and Roshni which was covered by the chip. In the discussion, Vidya had told Roshni of their new plan to steal from the royal family before she could finally leave the palace.

Obviously, Raghav didn’t love her and she was actually tired and wanted to leave, but she never wants to leave empty-handed. So, she and her mom has planned they were going to get a lot of money, before leaving.

Vidya had also told Roshni about how she was going to do it. She was gonna invite in Tulsa, the royal account officer into her room for a supposed official meeting, and then offer him a spiked drink.

Then after he must have taken the drink, she would then use his finger print and unlock the iPad which contained the royal accounts’ information, pins and passwords etc.

From there, the rest would be settled. This was all that was contained in the VN, which was the recorded discussion between Vidya and Roshni, covered by the chip Prisha had put in the glam gown.

The two girls couldn’t believe their ears after listening to the VN, bewilderment was an understatement, they were more than bewildered.

What? Vidya? Of all people? Jeez!
