HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

‍️ HERA’s POV ‍️

“Hera, we’ve got to go now. I just received an emergency call from a close friend of mine.” Emily panicked as she ran up to me, with her phone in her hand.

She looked perturbed.

“Huh? But the son isn’t back yet. Can’t we wait a little longer?” I asked, feeling rather despondent.

I’ve been so eager to meet the son and now Emily is saying this?

Gosh!

After getting my hope so high.

“We can’t Hera, in fact, we have to leave immediately.

It’s an emergency and delay is dangerous. Maybe another time you’ll get to meet him.” She said hurriedly, glancing through her phone anxiously.

“Okay, fine. Let’s go.” I grumbled and stood up from the couch.

I didn’t spare her a glance as I started towards the door.

I felt rather exasperated.

“Hera dear, please don’t be upset okay? There’s a next time.” She cooed softly as she ran up to me.

“No, I don’t think there’s a next time.” I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the house.

I breathed out and sighed sadly.

“Hera…” She sighed and held onto my arm.

“You don’t know his important it is for me to look for Delaney – the girl with the necklace.

Time is not on my side and my mother’s life is at risk, so as the throne.

I’ve got to be fast else, everything my mother worked very hard for would go down the drain.

I really need to find her, I need to find Delaney and take back the necklace.

She’s my hope and the most important thing to me right now.” I cried out and made for the gate, not sparing a glance.

The gate automatically opened by itself and a car drove in.

The car drove into the compound and I peered my eyes to see who it was in the car.

The glass was tinted but the window at the backseat was a little bit down.

As the car almost got close to where I stood, Emily suddenly pulled my hand and we both left the compound.

Eish!

I didn’t get to see the persons face.

Who knows if it was the son?

Gosh!

???? XAVIER’s POV ????

The drive home was quiet as none of us spoke a word to each other.

She looked sad and pale and her gaze had been on her phone.

There wasn’t even a tiny curve of smile on her face.

She looked perturbed…

We finally got home and as the chaffeur drove into the compound, the girl I had met, I think twice – I saw her and her mother.

What’s she doing in the mansion?

Or perhaps her mother works here?

I really don’t know all the workers in the house because I really don’t care about them.

So, maybe her mother is one of the workers in the mansion.

I was the first to alight before Delaney.

She walked lazily, dragging her feet on the floor as we made our way into the house.

I was about placing my hand on the door knob when her hand touched mine – she was also going to open the door.

We both stared at each other and I was the first to look away.

I removed my hand from hers while she opened the door.

There was this spark I felt as our hands touched. There was this feeling I couldn’t point my finger to.

It was strange and new to me.

What could it mean?

I haven’t felt like this…

DELANEY’s POV

If I say the silent treatment Xavier is giving to me isn’t hurting me, then, I’m a big liar.

I tried talking to him but he wouldn’t even listen to me.

I feel so hurt and I don’t even know who to blame.

Is he gonna believe me it’s not what he thinks?

Gosh!

Just when our relationship was going on smoothly and we were becoming close and more free with each other, that is when this s^it had to come in.

Just when, we were becoming close to each other and just when I thought, our relationship was going on smoothly.

Why does this have to happen now?

Xavier had seen Rio and I in a compromising state and I doubt if he”d believe me that nothing had happened.

And that, it wasn’t what he thought…

Gosh!

I’m so confused as to what to do.

Or perhaps, I should tell his mom…

BRIANNA’s POV

“Okay girls, let’s pray our plan works out perfectly well.” I sighed.

“It’s gonna work. We just have to be optimistic about it and everything would go perfectly well.” Blair smiled assuringly.

“Yeah. I trust that the person we hired will do a good and clean job.” Brielle smirked.

“Alright. Let’s get this done over with.” I nodded my head.

“Yeah, it’s now or never.”

I brought out my phone and dialed Chelsea’s number.

Just at the second ring, she answered the phone.

“Hello Chels.” I feigned, feeling enthusiastic.

“Hey Anna.” She giggled over the phone.

“Chels, can you come over to the house? We have a surprise for you.” I grinned mischievously.

‘really? Sure. I’ll be on my way now.” She giggled excitedly.

“Alright. Bye.”

“Bye.”

“Yes!” I laughed happily.

‘she said she”d be on her way already.” I smiled.

“Good…”
