7 chapter 7 THE PRINCE IN CHINA 1

The Mo's household had a nice bustle to it as shoppings and preparations were made.Elenna's joy could not just be contained. She surfed the internet for latest trending fashion,she picked and unpicked dresses.

"Mother, mother! Will this red dress suit? Will I look good in this one? What of this?" She was so excited her happiness was evident. Between her and her mum, a beautiful short sleeved full length Burgundy gown was chosen with matching jewelry and all.

The food was also personally supervised byElenna. She was indefatigable and before you knew it five days was already here.Everyone went to the airport to pick the Prince and his entourage.

Prince Martin Obasekiwas a man of great height andhandsome too. He had a physique that made women generally gushed when they saw him and when he smiles, those dimples that kisses his face makes him even more endearing. Ayanna got her dimples from him and those that saw himalways stares. Then whenhe speaks,his bass voice is so deep and leave a nice effect on the listener.But then he is a Princefrom a very powerful Benin royal family know as the oba Obaseki of Benin. They had both power and wealth. It took him a long time to obtain permission to come see his missing ribs, he even had to threaten that he will never marry if he was not allowed to go.

It was such a drama in the royal home. Since his queen couldn't come with his child,then he had to go to them at least to try and convince her family that they need to be together even if they have to visit China every fortnightly.What was the private jet for?

To get the protection that his wife and daughter needed, they had to be under the roof of the palace. He had to promise his parents that he will definitely come back. He reminded them that his daughter was the reincarnation of their late great grandmother who holds the key to the unification of the Great Benin kingdom and the kingdom in the west. They urgently neededto take the bead she left behind to that beautiful baby; my own daughter Ayanna. That bead grows as the child grows. Old mama has left this strict instruction that immediately the child was born, it should be worn on her. With much persuasion he convinced his father that he will try and convince Engr. Jeff Mo and then return home with his woman and daughter.

They then arranged some highly expensive drawings, artworks, expensive jewriesespecially the very popular local traditional beads.

The jet was prepared. He was to go with three of his guards, all proficient in all kinds of fighting skill and weaponry and his personal assistant Segun.

They drove in convoy on that day the two car plates read Oba one and Oba two and a hilux. Once they got to their private airstrip where the two jets were parked in their shinny beauty,the pilot was already in the cockpit and fired the engines down and all the gifts were already loadedonboard. After an all round hug, they boarded the jet.

Here he was about to touch down.His heart rate increased. He really hoped that all goes well.

The Prince knew it wasn't going to be easy to convince her family but he was going to lay the cards in the table, and hope's that all goes well.... he has to try because failure means that a chosen princess will be forced on him all his threat that he will never marry won't work once he goes back empty handed, 'Hmmm I don't even want to consider failure.
