12 chapter 12 THE PRINCE DECISION

This was a huge problem indeed. what will happen now? the children are expectant, well nothing she can do now than to tell them the bad news Mrs Jeff Mo taught to herself.

Placing the call to the Prince Mrs Mo couldn't hide her worry, as soon as the call Connected the Prince picked up hello madam! he said, how are you Prince? madam you don't sound well, he rejected right? yes son he didn't accept not even for the sake of our daughter I tried but his mind is made up he wants you to stay here and live with us not necessarily in our house you can set up yourself here then you can marry Elenna, the more Mrs Jeff said the more the Prince spirit sank this isn't good he taught does this mean I have to marry some random princess that I don't love no! no!! no!!! I will rather remain like this, mother what do we do about Elenna? she won't be able to take this, the Prince said to Mrs Jeff I can't tell her, I have failed my daughter Mrs Mo said. I will tell her, oh this is so sad. OK bye ma I will call her, he said, OK son! then Mrs Jeff ended the call.

Elenna are you there? yes and I know father didn't accept too Tin, she said, I was there I over heard their conversation, can I come see you? I want to see you Elenna told the Prince like right now she requested eh! why not am in my hotel room I'll be waiting for you dear.

No matter how much they taught they couldn't come up with a plan that can work they kept coming round to the only fact left for them was to already go back to Nigeria without her parent consent but this is not good enough for the Prince, Eloping with her will ensure they be together butcan they? he taught, should they even? Elenna is they only woman for me. Oh man! I am hungry wifey he said, 'huh? Elenna mumbled can we go eat then? anywhere of your choice the Prince said Elenna looked at him incredulously now with this hanging over our heads and all you can think of is food? The Prince looks sheepishly and then said what can one think with an empty stomach let's go fill it then we can think properly.

They went out to dinner, Elenna in a stunning black full length gown and the Prince in a black white stripped suit they both looked lovely together and you could hear people ask as they walked into a prestigious restaurant together people even taught they must surely be some celebrity, as they walked to their table eyes followed them. The Prince then said to Elenna you really look like a queen tonight my love am not surprised you are the envy of all the ladies here tonight, thank you my Prince and she gave him a slight bow with her head.

They totally enjoyed dinner together as they blocked out they people around them and were just into each other talking and laughing about this and that.

Wifey he called I have been thinking said the Prince, I noticed Tin so what's on your mind? my dad and our predicament right? Elenna said, yes about that and I have come to a decision and I hope you agree and work with me he said, please let me hear it Elenna said, she knew they had to come to a decision soon and she was ready to support whatever decision he made tonight. She was ready to follow him to the moon and back.

I love you girl you know that, there is no other woman for me except you in this generation and the next. As a Prince I should rule with my queen right beside me that is our tradition right but without you i am empty and i can't break tradition, luckily father is still alive they will have to look for a king in waiting it won't be me because if I don't marry you Elenna then I won't be marring at all, i simply have no *wahala of being the heir apparent that is my stand the Prince declared while staring at Elenna, me too!!! Elenna declared I won't marry anyone, she said, I Prince MartinObaseki will remain like that and I will visit China just to see you and spend time we will make all the arrangements we can even get married but still maintain this charade for our parents happiness. They were both happy with their decision and hand in hand left the restaurant together straight to the hotel room where they both showed each other just how much they loved and cherished each other, the remaining three days that the Prince had were spent with Elenna, they quickly arranged a secret marriage at the registry without any of their parents knowledge. Now let's go home Mrs Elenna Obaseki the Prince said with adoration and Elenna just smiled up at him she was quiet ecstatic.

Then the child and her mother stood up from their seat and started leaving and broke Ayannas daze.
