Shelly reached her father's palace,she found her young sister sitted with their paralyzed, wheelchaired grandpa. Without saying a word to them, she run to her bedroom, flow the door open. She throw herself on the carpet and groaned in pain, then she starts to break things, turning tables upside down, lamenting for Gabby.
"Hold on grandpa, I'm coming." She said to their grandpa who neither talk nor make any movements for 25 years since the accident of the plane crush. Elizabeth runs to check up on her sister whom she found had turned things down, break every mirror in her room.
"Shelly, what are you doing?" Tried to stop her, but she push her away, "Get away from me!" But she manage to keep her balance through the wall.
The king and queen came in a hurry, and found a mess in Shelly's room.
"What is going on, Shelly?" Asked the queen.
At this moment, she felt more emotional and run to embrace her mother. Holding her so tight, she wept. "What's going on honey?" He pulled her out slowly. She was in bitter tear that she couldn't even speak.
"Sit down my dear and tell us what happened." King made her relax in bed, but making her sit. "What happened, who is making my princess to cry like this?"
"Prince Gabriel, papa." She said in a tearful tone. "Prince Gabriel has called off our relationship for some common girl."
"What, how dare he do that! Who is this girl that has not fear and respect?" Queen Lukundo asked.
"Her name is Brianna."
"Brianna? My Brianna, the singer?" Eliza asked in a joyful tone.
"Will you shut up, moron!" The queen shut her up. "You sister is crying and you are doing nonsense."
Shelly has always been the Queen's favorite, unlike Elizabeth who is the king's good daughter. She is more like him and Shelly like her mother, the queen.
King Edmond moved close to her daughter, calmly trying to make her understand the situation. " My dear, a màn who loves you will always choose you over others, if he choose the other woman over you, then he doesn't love you."
"No, papa, noooo! He is mine!" She thrash a glass of water she was given to calm her down, against the wall."
"Calm down, Shelly." Said the king. "Get some rest , you will feel better when you wake up, my dearest princess." Perk him on the forehead then he left.
Elizabeth remained in, standing, when her mother ordered her to follow her father, so that she can remain with her alone.
When they where alone in the room, queen Lukundo wake her up. "Listen to me very careful, Shelly. No daughter of mine will be called a looser, you need to get on your feet to fight for what is yours! You must stop at nothing when it comes to your man, Shelly!"
"Does it mean that, even killing?"
"If that's what it takes for you to win the battle, do it."
Shelly's mind is manipulated, she now feels ready to fight Brianna to any extent with her mother's full support. "Was this the strategy you used on father?"
Lukundo kept quiet as her mind travel back to the past, how she fault Grace till finally Edmond was hers. "Yes." She answered afterwards.
"Thank you mum for your support." Fell in her arms
****************
Mrs Kumwenda Grace has been kneeling for hours, now at the alter of Ebenezer Bible Church. "Oh God, please do not let my past predicament, all the miss fortunes be fall my dear daughter." She cried. "When I had her, I pleaded with you to not let her cross any path with royalty, but today, you have allowed history to repeat itself." she lie to the ground, weeping bitterly as a broken hearted mother can be.
The pastor has been standing aside, watching her lament, without noticing him. Now that she could not stop crying and complain, blaming God,he approached her and help her up. "Calm down, Mrs Kumwenda." Help her sit down on a bench. "My dear, listen. God doe not allow his children to suffer. He is always faithful and just to his promises."
"I thought so too, but today he has failed me. He has made me an enemy of my daughter. He has allowed my predicament to befallen my daughter." She cried.
"No... my dear, God doesn't lie. Allow God to work his own way, please. If God wants our dear Brianna to be with the prince, let it be so. You can't fight against what God has put together."
Mrs Kumwenda still didn't want to take into consideration to whatever the pastor has said. She left home with swollen eyes from crying. Daniel had informed their grandparents on the situation between Brianna and her mother. He pleaded with her to come over and talk to her and she promised to be there anytime soon.
****************
It's another day, Shelly will end at nothing to For her man. She is on her way to Yashilan Kingdom, only her Mom knows about this. Before she had started off, she communicated with princess Helena who supported her decision of attacking Brianna.
Brianna is busy sweeping the surrounding without any knowledge of what's coming her way . Daniel, on the other hand was washing plates with his little sister, Vanessa helping him. Grace was inside preparing for the market when she heard someone yelling, calling Brianna's name, so she run out to see what was happening, only to find a gun pointed at Brianna. She almost loose her balance upon seeing a gun point at her.
"I thought I told you Brianna to keep away from man, that you wouldn't want me for an enemy!"
"You want to kill my daughter, right?" She walked towards, but Shelly ordered her to stop or she will shoot her.
"What are you waiting for, go ahead, shoot me, but don't you dare threaten my daughter!"
"All really, you think I'm joking, right?" She placed her forefinger on the trigger. Seeing that she was serious about shooting her mother, Brianna stand in for her. "Don't shoot, please." Begged with her. "I'm the one you want, right? Then shoot me and let my mother be."
"She is so foolish and so poor in reasoning. Why didn't you ask yourself why your so_ called fiance my daughter over you? I will tell you," Move Brianna aside and speak on her face. "He chose my daughter Because you are not worth of his love."
Shelly lost her temper and push her roughly be that she hit the ground. "Mother, no!" She run to help her mother up.
Brianna couldn't tolerate her pushing her mother like that. How dare you hurting my mother!" push on her without any fear for the gun she was holding. Shelly now pull the trigger which almost hit Mrs Kumwenda, fortunately, prince Gabriel was there to save her by pushing her away from the bullet's direction.
Manoah was there watching in a car, parked from a distance. He also came for Brianna as his target, but he found Shelly already there, so he had decided to watch from a distance, what she will do. Seeing prince Gabriel, he got furious, but before he could do anything wrong, he ordered the driver to take him away from this place.
He helped her up, "I'm so sorry."
Brianna took her inside, "Come on mum." Walk her in. She did not expect him to save her life after everything she did to him.
Now that she is saved, prince Gabriel followed Shelly with unfriendly stare at her. "Have you lost your mind, Shelly, huh? What you if you had killed that poor woman?"
"You are the reason, I did that!" Yelled. I will not let this good for nothing woman, ruin end our relationship!"
"Go home Shelly and stop wasting time, fighting for what you already know the answer."
Brianna came out and stood by the veranda. Before she could leave Brianna's compound, she extended her look at her and said, "This is only a beginning, Brianna. I will fight you till my last breath." She then walked away.
When she left, Gabriel sigh in relief. He walked to Brianna and stopped, so close to her. "I'm really sorry for the inconvenience." He took her hands and kissed on them not aware of Mrs Kumwenda who was watching from the window but later he saw her. She move away after their eye met.
"You have to leave, thank you for saving my mother."
"I want to have a word with her, will you allow me?"
"I don't think this is the right time, come back later. With what has happened today, I don't know if she would listen to you."
After a sigh, he said. "You are right." He placed a kiss on her forehead and then turned to leave, but Daniel had to call him to come back. "mum want to talk to you. Come in. He and Brianna looked at each other with question marks, then he went in, leaving Brianna and Daniel outside looking worried of what she would say to him.
Inside the house, he is offered a sit and the first question is asked to him. "What do you want from my daughter?"
"Your daughter, madam, she's all I want, as the princess of my heart."
Tears fell from her eyes, uncontrollably. His word has just reminded her of a man so special to her. He always use these words to her. She couldn't let him watch her cry any more, so she had to chase him out from the house. "Go away, just leave." She looked away embarrassed.
"Mum, I know you do not trust me with your daughter. But I can assure you of my love forget your daughter." He move close as he continue speaking. "Your daughter is unique, ma'am. She made who I am today." He spoke in a tearful tone.
"please, give me a chance to prove my love for her."
"A chance is granted." A voice spoke suddenly. Both Grace and the prince turned to look at who spoke, only to find Mrs Sosala, Grace's mother, Brianna's grandma.
"Mum?"
"Grace, my dear? For what reason will you deprive your daughter's happiness, which i didn't deprived you?"
"Mum, please don't intervene. If you had lectured me very well, I wouldn't have made so many mistakes in my life! But because you gave me too much freedom, I....
"Enough!" She cut her short. " I will give the same freedom I gave you, to my grandchildren and that's final!" She yelled, angrily.
" Not when I'm arrive, mother, should I support my daughter being lied to, by so called royalty!" She spoke with tears rolling down her cheeks, then she walked away to the bedroom.
Brianna, where she was standing, she cried. Her grandmother comforted her. She took her hand and put it in Gabby's. "Go on, love each other truthful. As for your mom, I will handle her. She is my daughter, I know her best."
Brianna and The prince, hugged and after a while they took their way to the palace. There, they made they announced their relationship to the king and queen and the entire royal cabinet. Both the king and queen supported their relationship and also other family members as well as the chief and other cabinet members, except for Helena. In Yashilan kingdom, social status doesn't matter. Every man and woman, regardless of who they are, is important.
"You are welcome my dear, in this castle and the Yachi Family. No parent can reject an adorable daughter as you. Come here." He pulled her into his arms. " I want you and my son together forever." Everyone kept nodding in agreement with the king's speech.
The queen also pull her in a hug, "I can't wait to have you as my daughter in law. I've always wanted a daughter in my life."
Helena left in disapproval of this relationship.
