“Adonis-” Madame started.
“Madame you will not say a word to him. You shut your mouth and stay quiet!” my old man demanded.
“I am King!” I roared. “She will speak, and she will tell me everything.” I glanced at Madame who was on the verge of tears. She was shaking and sweating. I had never seen so much fear in her eyes. She was always so strong and bold, but today she seemed weak and childlike. “Tell me the truth, Madame.”
She looked up at me and one tear trickled down her cheek. “He raped me,” she confessed.
“Liar!” Zuse blurted, charging towards her. I rushed in front of her and blocked his attack.
“Restrain my father,” I told the guards. They hesitated but they did as they were told. I turned my back to my father and grabbed ahold of Madame’s face in my hands. “He raped you?” I asked, wanting to make sure I heard her correctly.
“Ye-yes. After I betrayed him and cheated on King Raza with, Jofi. He was so furious with me that he beat me and raped me. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks later and I knew it was his. Can you imagine, being pregnant with your brother’s son?” she spoke just above a whisper, tearing up.
“He didn’t want me to get an abortion because he found out it was a boy. He didn’t want to chance him not having a boy with the Queen. Him and Akeena had just gotten married a few weeks earlier, so the timing was perfect. He told me that I had to give up my rights to Akeena after you were born. I agreed because I was so ashamed. I couldn’t look at you without thinking about what he did to me, so I happily gave you up,” she continued.
“He punished me again. Not only did he make me a Madame and call me Madame, he took away my womanhood. The one thing that made me a woman, he took it away. You, Adonis are my first and last child. I can’t ever have children because your father had a doctor take out my ovaries.”
My heart bled for my Aunt Madame. I wanted to hate her. I wanted to blame her and curse her. Hell, I wanted to kill her, but I could never take her life. She was the woman I went to when I was in trouble. Before Bella, I went to Madame with all of my stress and issues with being a man and a King. She was the one who gave me sound advice. She was the one who told me it was going to be okay and encouraged me to do the right thing. All along, I treated her as if she was like my second mother when she was indeed just that. My mother.
“Madame, I had no idea. Zuse told me the baby was for King Raza. I’m so sorry, I had no idea he did that you,” Akeena spoke sincerely. I didn’t feel the need to doubt her. I’m sure my old man wasn’t honest with her about what he had done.
Kissing Madame on the forehead, I pulled her into me. I hugged her tight around her shoulders and whispered in her ear that everything was going to be okay. She cried into my chest and I could feel the hurt coming through from her tears. I felt so bad. My Aunt had been through so much and all of it she didn’t deserve. I could feel my rage burning up inside.
Looking over my shoulder, I glared at my old man. “You a nasty ass nigga. You know that?”
“She’s the nasty one. She’s the whore. She wanted to act like one, so I treated her like one, but I made a King in the process.” He smiled as if he was proud about the shit.
“Get him out of my face. I want him put in the dungeon and set for execution tonight,” I ordered.
“Execution? You can’t do that to me. I’m your father. I’m King Zuse. If anyone is going to get their head chopped off, it should be Iman. He tried to kill you. He should die, not me!”
“Oh, that nigga gone die right alongside your ass. Take them both to the dungeon, but don’t kill Iman just yet. I want him to sit in there and think about his fucked ass betrayal.” I glared his way. He didn’t fight the guards back. He went peacefully as my old man kicked and scream like a damn female.
“Adonis, I know this is a lot on you but, where does that leave me?” Akeena asked.
“Akeena I appreciate you taking me in and raising me as your own. I know you only did it out of the goodness of your heart. Still, you got to suffer some shit too. I will let you keep your name and your title out of respect of you being my siblings’ mother. You must leave the palace at once though. Yea, you got to go. I will send you back to your country where you will go back to being their Queen.”
“Thank you, Adonis. I appreciate you sparing my life. I will say goodbye to my daughter, and I will leave at once. I only wish I could say goodbye to my son. Have you heard nothing from, Amir?” she asked.
My nose flared just thinking about my little brother’s dumb ass. Because of the chaos, no one even noticed that it wasn’t Creola he was marrying. I found out when Princess Creola ran out the room yelling and crying about how she was attacked. It looked like a damn deer had kicked her ass in the face. By the time we got the news, Amir and Leah were long gone.
I was tired of my family acting like they weren’t royal. Like we had the privilege to do whatever the fuck we wanted. Yea, I was acting like a damn maniac, but I was heartbroken. I had a reason why I was acting all crazy and shit. It almost seemed as if Amir and Zara did stupid shit for fun. Like being dumb was a damn sport or some shit. They were all just a bunch of fuck ups who needed to be taught a lesson.
“No, I haven’t heard from him but his banishment hearing with the council is next week. If he doesn’t show, then I would have no choice but to-”
“No, Adonis. You can’t exile your brother. He’s your blood. He’s your younger brother. You can’t do this to him. Please don’t do this,” Akeena pleaded.
“He left me no choice. He knew the consequences of his actions and his stupid ass still went through with it. If my brother does not show next week, I will exile his ass and not think twice about the shit.”
I wasn’t letting up on no fucking body. Not even my own blood.
Prince Amir
“Fuck, Leah,” I cursed, gripping the back of Leah’s head that was bobbing on my dick. Tucking my lip in between my teeth, I glanced down at her to watch how good I taught her. Her small delicate hand massage my balls as she took me deep down her throat. Her eyes were wide, starring up at me and that alone made shit intense. Her other hand slid up and down the shaft of my dick as if she was trying to push my nut out. The way she tickled the head of my dick with her throat had my toes curling.
“You trying to make me cum? I mean shit, Leah.”
“I want to make you feel good,” she spoke in between slurps.
“You damn sure doing a good job at that.”
I continued to moan and groan like a damn female as Leah pleased me. I was starting to think she enjoyed sucking my dick more than I enjoyed her doing it. A tingling feeling ran up my leg to my nuts and I knew I was about to bust.
“Fuck. Stop baby. I’m not ready to cum yet.” Pulling her up by her arm, I wrapped them both around my neck. I then picked her up and walked her to the bed. Laying her down, I crawled in between her legs and slid inside her. The way her walls hugged me and pulled me in had me in heaven. My dick throbbed inside of her as I rocked in and out. High screams bounced off the hotel walls. Once again, the people in the next room was banging on the wall to make us aware that we were being heard.
“Leah, baby you got to shut up. You too loud. They gone kick our ass out of here…shit.” I got distracted when she tightened her pussy muscles around my dick. I don’t know what had happened since the first time we fucked, but it seemed as if she was getting tighter. Her pussy was even wetter, and she was craving sex all the time. One would think she was pregnant, but I pulled out of Leah every time we had sex. I wasn’t ready for babies.
“Ungh, Amiiiiir. I can’t help it. You feel so good, baby,” she moaned in my ear, matching my rhythm from underneath me. My legs tangled in between the sheets as I rolled over, landing Leah on top of me. Lately she enjoyed taking control by riding and I never complained because she had become an expert at it. Locking my hands behind my head, I relaxed and enjoyed the ride.
“You really like riding my dick huh?” I quizzed,
slapping her on the ass and then grabbing it in my hands.
“Yessssss,” she hissed, rubbing her hands up my chest so she could lean forward. Digging her nails into my skin, she slammed her ass on me and tightened her walls around as she raised up. It was like a suction cup down there. Her screaming my name on top of the way she rode me had my toes curling. I hated the way she made me feel like a bitch. She had the type of pussy I would give up my royal status for and run away to nothing just to be with her.
“I’m about to cuuuum,” she moaned, slamming down on me harder and faster. Grabbing her hips, I held her still and stroked her from underneath. Our moans grew louder. The banging on the walls continued, but it fell on deaf ears. “I’m cumming, Amir. I’m cumming.”
“Me too, baby. Shiiiiit,” I hissed, pulling out of her and releasing myself on the sheets. Leah fell on top of me and I held her as we both tried to catch our breath.
“Amir, I’m scared,” Leah whispered against my chest. “This is our tenth hotel we’ve been to in the past five months. Your dad is going to find us and when he does, he’s going to exile you and kill me. We can’t keep running.”
“Leah, what do you expect us to do? We can’t go back to the palace. I’m not trying to go backwards.” I shook my head. It had been extremely stressful since we’d been on the run from Droga’s guards. My brother put a search party out for me the day after the wedding. We’ve been running ever since and honestly, I could keep running if it meant I didn’t have to go back to the palace.
“I know you’re not Amir, but what are we supposed to do now? We’re almost out of money and we can’t keep asking for favors using your Prince title when you’re basically wanted by the King. You’re like a fugitive. We’re fugitives. Maybe we can go back and ask your brother to help us. Maybe him being a King and knowing how you feel, he would understand why you left,” she spoke but I stayed silent.
Sliding off of me, she laid on her side with her head propped up on her hand staring straight through me. “Amir, I love you. I think I’ve fallen more in love with you since we’ve been running like criminals for these past few months. Which I think is completely crazy.” She laughed, and I joined in. “He’s your brother. Your only brother. We can’t get out of Africa without him. We need money, clearance and a boat. We have to go back.”
Turning my head, I stared at my wife. A girl who was once just my servant and beneath me. I stared at the woman she had evolved into since we got married and I was pleased with my choice. Every time I had doubt about what I did, I just looked at her and she made it all worth it. She was changing me, and I knew it was for the better.
“Leah-”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
“Prince Amir! We have the hotel surrounded. There is nowhere to run. In our hands is a warrant for your capture from King Adonis. Please surrender with no resistance. We have orders to shoot,” a guard spoke from the other side of the door.
Leah jumped up, fear all over her face. “Orders to shoot? Your brother ordered them to shoot you?” she quizzed.
“Still think going back is a good idea? He’s probably going crazy over Bella dying.” I hopped up and started gathering our garments and putting them back in our bag. Leah was sitting up in the bed damn near in tears. I knew it had to be over Bella. Ever since we heard the rumor that she had died, she’s been extra sensitive and crying a lot lately.
“Leah, baby now is not the time to be crying. I know that was your best friend and all but if we don’t leave, guards will storm in here and start shooting. You trying to die? Because I’m not. I’m too young and sexy to die, so suck up the tears and let’s go,” I ordered.
“Amir where are we going to go? They have us surrounded. We can’t run-”
“Like hell we can’t. Girl get your ass up and come on.” I pulled at her arm, placing her on her feet. I checked the back window to see if any guards were out there and just as I suspected, no one. They were bluffing. Grabbing our bags, I threw them outside the window, so we could have something to land on. “Come on. We are jumping.”
“Jumping? Amir have you lost your mind? I’m not jumping out of a window. I could die!”
“Woman, we three stories up, you’re not going to die. Now come on before they come in here and start shooting. I’m not gone play with my brother and his warnings. That nigga got some screws loose in real life.” Still she didn’t move. “Leah, you can illegally marry me, run away and be wanted for death and suck my dick like you do but you can’t jump out of a window for me to survive?”
Her mouth dropped, and she started to say something but then she closed her mouth. Sighing loudly, she nodded her. “Fine but if I die, I’m coming back as a ghost and I’m going to haunt you. Forever.”
“I’ll risk it, Casper,” I joked, laughing. Grabbing her hand, we both crawled out the window onto the ledge. The door burst open just as we jumped. “Ooof!” We landed on our bags. “You good baby?” I asked, searching Leah’s body for any damages.
“Yes, I’m good. We should probably start running now.”
I heard feet hitting the floor like hammers. Jumping to my feet, I helped Leah up and grabbed our bags. We took off running in the opposite direction of the guards. We ran right into the woods. I could hear them trailing behind us, but I kept running. We kept running.
“Prince Amir! Surrender or I will open fire!” the same guard from earlier yelled through a megaphone. I ignored him and kept running. I felt like I was pulling Leah with me. When I looked over at her, she was holding her stomach and heaving in and out as if she both out of breath and in pain.
“Baby you okay? What’s wrong?” I asked between breaths.
“I…I can’t breathe, and my stomach is hurting. I don’t know but I can’t…I can’t run,” she answered, slowing down.
“Leah-”
FIRE! POW!
“ARRRG!” I yelled, feeling a burning piercing sensation hit the back of my knee. I fell to the ground immediately after being hit. Since I had Leah’s hand in mine, she went down with me.
“Amir? Amir baby are you okay?” Amir- hey get off of me!” a guard came up and grabbed Leah up by her hair.
“Let her go! I command you to let her go! Now!” I ordered, holding onto my bloody knee.
“You are on the fence of even being Prince anymore. You have no power here,” the guard responded.
“On the fence, yes, but as of now I’ am still the Prince of Droga and I demand you to let my wife go. Shot or not, I will get up and beat your ass. Try me nigga!” I barked. The guard looked at me and then at the other guard that had shot me. He then let Leah’s hair go. She fell back to her knees to my side. She held my hand in hers.
“It’s just a scratch. You’re going to be okay. It doesn’t even look that bad,” she spoke, smiling through her lie.
“You’re so cute,” I whispered before everything went dark.
Hours Later…
Blinking my eyes rapidly, I tried to repair my vision. It was blurred, but the more I blinked, the more everything became clearer. Noticing the art work on the wall, I knew I was back at the palace. Hearing the sounds of a machine, I knew I was in the recovery wing of the palace. I glanced down and saw the IV in my arm. That’s when I noticed my hand being held by Leah who was laying on thigh while sitting in a chair. I tried to lift my hand, but I couldn’t.
“What the-am I handcuffed to the bed?” I quizzed myself.
“You sure as shit are and you’re lucky you’re not bleeding out in the dungeon with your stupid ass,” Adonis emerged from the door way into the room. I could tell he was taking this Bella shit rough. The man looked like he hadn’t shaved in months.
“Don you had them nigga’s shoot me?”
“How far did you think you were going to get with no money and a warrant out for your capture? What the fuck were you thinking tricking the priest into marrying you to a servant girl and then running away like some love-struck teenager?”
“The same thing you were thinking when
you fell in love with the woman whose sole purpose was to birth your heir. The same thing you were thinking when you asked, Bella to be your mistress. The same thing you were thinking when you went to the council to have Mena removed off your throne, so you could marry Bella. Don’t come at me like you squeaky clean or some sneaky shit,” I spat, curling my lip.
“Nigga I did that shit for love. You did this shit for freedom. Don’t act like what we did was one in the same because it’s not. You out here acting like a damn regular ass nigga as if you don’t have a whole ass country to serve. You’re not normal, Amir!”
“Don’t you think I know that shit, Don? Huh? I got the fuck up out of here because I know I’m not normal and that’s all I’m trying to be. Normal. I don’t want this shit. I don’t need to be nobody’s fucking role model and I don’t want to act accordingly. Yes, the clothes, jewels and admirers are nice, but I can live without that. I want to go back to the states.”
“You want to what? Fuck no!” he barked.
“Why not? I’m gone be exiled anyway, so why not just send me back to the states? Why let me stay here and suffer?”
“Because nigga, you broke the law. More than one law. I had to do some shit I didn’t want to do just to keep Creola from telling her father what really happened.”
“What do you mean by that?”
He glanced at Leah and then back at me. “Only the people inside these walls knows what really happened. The people of Droga and everyone in Africa who’s heard of this, knows what I could come up with. That you were drugged by a servant girl and tricked into marrying her and then she kidnapped you for ransom,” he revealed.
“What?” I barked, balling up my fist wanting to swing at him, but I couldn’t. Leah’s head moved, but she didn’t wake up. She was a hard sleeper. “Why the hell would you do that, Don?”
“To save your reputation and our family’s name. To stop Creola from getting you beheaded. Breaking an arranged marriage is treason Amir and you know that. Falling in love and marrying someone beneath you is treason. Running away from your responsibilities is treason, Amir! You broke the law and you are my brother. I have to punish and still keep you alive at the same fucking time, so I did what I could to do that!” he snapped back.
