When everything seemed over for prince Gabriel, there came hope. Marcos invited him over to Brianna's house after he had pleaded for him from Mrs Kumwenda who accepted him back with the help of king Edmond and Brianna's grandmothers. Now that she knew that king Edmond was not entirely at fault on their separation, but his parents, and also Mr Imakando senior has admitted his mistakes, there was no reason for grace to harden her heart over what makes her daughter, Brianna happy.
After having a talk with prince Gabriel, he admitted it to Mrs Kumwenda that he was still in love with Brianna. they invited him to their house so that they could talk and reconcile.
Knowing very well that Gabriel and his brother, Lawrence are in the house, Mrs Kumwenda tries to bring up this topic of her and him, before Gabriel himself could talk to Brianna. She entered Brianna's bedroom, with a start up story of her favorite smoothy juice, yet the real reason behind her visit was to ask her, if she would still be interested in Gabriel.
"Knock knock knock...., may I came in?" Grace joke around as she opened the door to her room and enter.
"Mama," she gave out an usual beautiful smile, "You sound very happy, what happened?"
"I'm very happy because my dearest daughter is with me." She put the glass of smooth shake and gave her a warm hug.
"Mum... " She pulled out.l, " You still love king Edmond, right?"
Mrs Kumwenda became silent for a while, then she decides to answer with an opposite topic. "I have your smoothy with me, here have it." She divert from the story.
"You don't have to pretend with me, mum. I know you still love him and so is he."
Mrs Kumwenda sighed, "If you think I deserve to be happy again, don't you think you deserve that too, with Prince Gabriel?"
"Mum my case is different, he doesn't....
"He still love you, Brianna." He suddenly interrupted by a voice familiar to her. He moved close and sit beside her.
"I will leave you two to talk." Mrs Kumwenda excused herself. Now they where left alone in the room to talk. Prince Gabriel extended his hands over to her, and take hold of her hands, pinning them to his chest side of the heart heart and said,
"Brianna, do you think I've been happy, after you left? My answer is no, absolutely no."
"Since I signed those divorce papers, my happiness went with it. I must confess that my happiness lies with you, Bri. No woman, absolutely no one can ever fill this space in my heart, therefore, I am kneeling before you, asking for a second chance, to make things right between us, please." Gabriel fell on his knees and lay his head on her lapse, sobbing.
Brianna, like him was in pain. The kept rolling down from her eyes uncontrollably, when everyone came In, begged with her to forgive him.
Her mum, her grandmothers, doctor Marcos , her brother, Daniel and her three friends Michie, Cindy and Tasha, all plead for him. After a bit of hesitation, Brianna finally gave it a second thought and excepted him back.

Shelly was desperately in need of whom to help her mother escape the prison. She was feeling lonely and tired of running from the police. Now she decide to disguise herself as a police officer, just to get through the the palace gate, and have a talk to her father, the king. She reached the gate and lied to have information about the princess. One of the guards told her that the king was not in, but she insisted to say, she had a word with him, and that he request her to wait for him. With this lie, she was able to get inside.
Now that she was in her bedroom, her heart was filled with grieve. She missed her bed, her normal life as a princess, where she had maidens to save her with honor and respect.
Tears rolled down when happy memories of her and Gabriel came running back her mind. When she was searching her things , a photo they took together on their 5th anniversary fell down to the floor. She picked it, holding it very tight and close to her heart, tears fell down her cheeks. A song from the Dixie Chicks entitled, "YOU WHERE MINE " was playing at the background as she went on cry, bathing in memories of him and Gabriel. The same pain was what the queen, her mother was going through in prison. The message in the song spoke for them both.
When the song reached the end, it's last playing instrument drive Shelly into deeper memories of her happy days with prince Gabriel. Out of furiousness, She picked a gun and run to Brianna's house. She reached to her house and found a celebration of her union with Gabriel. Without any fear for the people around her she pointed a gun at her. "Brianna!!!! " She pull the trigger without hesitation, but before the bullet could reach her, King Imakando stood on the way while he shout, "No Shelly, she's your sister!!! It was already too late, Shelly had already pulled the trigger and two bullet rested in his back.
Seeing that she shoot her father, instead, Shelly run over to him as he fell like a log with a scream, "Father, noo!!!!! She hold him in her arms and wept, so did Elizabeth, Brianna, Mrs Kumwenda and the rest of the people around.
She Stopped crying after the ambulance took him away, his voice then ring back in her mind, Which he said, Brianna was her sister. She stood up furiously and point a gun to her again. "You moron, you can never ever be my sister. I hate you!!! She hold on to the trigger, most to pull it when a gun shoots also hit her back and she fell to the ground, on her belly. It was the police who shoot her to protect Brianna. They all screamed fearfully. Elizabeth run to touch her, but the police stopped her. They felt her pulse and found that she was still alive. They took her with them to the hospital as everyone followed after them in their cars.
Both the father and daughter where in the ICU after the bullets where removed from their bodies. During their time in the theater, everyone of them where in prayer for their lives.
Later that day, Shelly woke up. Her cousin, Marcos was the one treating her, checking her vital signs when she opened her eyes and begin to call Elizabeth's name.
"Call Elizabeth in, right now." Doctor Marcos requested for her. Elizabeth was brought fourth. When they hold hands, she cried, so did Shelly.
"I'm... so.. sorry for hurting you, my sweet....little... sister." She stuttered.
"Please forgive.... me for killing... father." She wept.
"Shhhh.... father is still alive. You need to put yourself together, sister, I need you.l! I need my happy family, please!" She fell on her weeping bitterly.
"Do... me a.. favor, call Brianna for me."
"Really, sister?" She thought she didn't hear her properly, but she nodded, saying yes. Brianna was brought in. After seeing her, Shelly cried even more. She regrets having done that to her, and all her weakerd acts towards her.
After crying a little more, Shelly find some courage to ask for her forgiveness. "Brianna, I... know.. I don't deserve your mercy." She stopped for a cry. "My eyes where so blind that I couldn't see, nor feel that I was fighting against my own sister. Please forgive, sister." She wept, clinging to her hand.
"I was the one that wronged you, for taking your man away, I'm sorry." Brianna burst into more tears as well. "please, if you promise me to be strong and survive this accident, then I will leave the prince for you. You are the one who had him first...
"Shelly hold her hand back, interrupting her, "I had him first, but you deserve him. Where Is he?" She asked.
"I will call him in." Elizabeth, wiped her tears, opened the door when bought in Gabriel.
Shelly took his hand and press it in Brianna's. "Gabriel, I want you to take Brianna as yours for ever. I thought love can be forced, but no. I keep missing a point that where true love dwells, no man can ever separate." She stopped and cried. " I thought I can win you to my self by using strength, but it proved me wrong to say, love is gentle, it is a sacrifice..." She got depressed and her situation became worse.
"Doctor!!!!!" Elizabeth called in a tearful tone.
"Shelly, don't do this to me, I need you, our little sister need us, please!" Brianna kept shooking her.
"Take... care... of her.. Accept her as your little sis.." After that, Shelly closed her eyes slowly as she stared on Brianna's face. The ECG even Stopped leading, the lines became horizontal and a warning sound that she was no more sounds.
Doctor Marcos came in and took ber vitals, but found non. He removed a sethoscope out of his ear in tears "She has just left us." Looked away , sobbing.
Elizabeth couldn't accept this fact, she tried on shaking her that maybe she can be awake, but it was quite. Her sister's body was even cold. Mr Imakando senior took his granddaughter in his arms, as they walked out.
On the other hand, king Immakando was still in the ICU. The news of princess Shelly's death was no longer new to everyone. The prison wander in charge had to summon the queen from a group, where they where cleaning, in their orange suits. When she was in the officer's office, this sad news was delivered to her.
Queen Lukundo went insane with the fact of loosing her favorite daughter. She stayed in her cell, indoors for three days , just mourning for her dear daughter. She asked the warder in charge to attend her burial, before the day, but that was not granted. That night during their supper, she strangled an innocent person without anyone noticing it.
The dead body was taken out to be buried and so she jumped into the same car, carrying the body out and when they were out she jumped out quickly. The driver saw her through the side mirror when she had already entered the forest. A call was made, back, making the police know that queen Lukundo has escaped.
A group of cops are sent out in search of her. Some where at the cemetery, on the watch, incase she shows up. queen was there, hiding among the mourners, in a tracksuit with a cap slid on her face with glasses covering her eyes. She watched from a distance as they let the body of a princess slid into the grave, while she sobbed in silent until she was covered in dust. Seeing her younger daughter escorted by her aunt as she put on her Fair well flower, she couldn't hold back than she removed her glasses to wipe the tears. Later came king Edmond, on the wheelchair being pushed by his nephew, doctor Marcos. On his right was his father and Mrs Kumwenda on his right side.
Now she is provoked by the scene, she had nothing to loose, since her daughter has died, so she pointed the gun, straight on Grace, right from where she was standing. luckily, Tasha saw her before she pulled the trigger and pushed Mrs Kumwenda out of the way. The bullet over passed them and it hit a police officer on a chest.
Everyone screamed fearfully and scatter. Now it was the war of fire guns between the police and the queen. She manage to shot three cops before she was shot on the side of the leg. It was no longer safe for her, so she disappeared into the thick forest. Where she was passing, the drip of blood made the police to catch up with her. "Arms up, don't run or will shoot!"The cop pointed a gun at her, so she had no strength to run , than to put her gun down and I'm mediately they run over and handcuffed her hands on the back, to the car.

Brianna was happy with her true love, once again. Gabriel takes good care of his blind wife now that she is pregnant. They live alone in the province that he was given in charge of, away from the castle. Maidens where assigned to live with them, taking care of Brianna.
"I thought I will never have you back again, my princess." Caressing her cheeks he he lowered his head band kissed her as he was about to go out, not aware that Manoah was in , unnoticed.
"Enough, just leave, you are late." She pulled out with a smile.

Brianna laughed at him, "crazy, just leave."
After he left, Manoah made sure she is alone in the bedroom when he found his way in and closed the door.
"My love, you are back? did you forget something?"
"Of course, my dear princess, I had forgetting you."
By the sound of his voice, Brianna stood freeze. "Manoah?"
"Ah.., you still remember your fiance's voice, after all." He started approaching her, as she also move back fearfully. Without wasting time, manoah pushed her on bed to rape her, despite seeing that she was pregnant.
"No, please, don't do this, manoah! Help me, please!!!" She screamed as he tear his clothes, forcing himself on her. Lucky enough, Prince Gabriel forgot something which made him come back to the house only to find manoah trying to force himself on his wife.
"Manoah!!!!! Pulled him out from her top and punched him terribly. The two fought a fight of fists. After Gabriel defeated him, manoah remove a knife to stab him, when he was helping Brianna up, but the guards where there on time and hold grip his hand before it reached the prince.

He dropped the knife and raised his hands up. One of the cops rushed and handcuffed him. The long time, searched criminal has been cought finally.
Now the child in her womb was disturbed, it was time to deliver. Gabriel carried her into the car and comanded the driver to drive to the hospital. An order was left with the maiden to inform everyone about her delivery which she did.
30 minutes in labour, Prince Gabriel kept pacing up and down in worry. The entire family came running to the hospital. When he saw the family, he felt relief.
"How is it going?" Queen Grace asked, very nervous.
"Still waiting for a response, mother." He replied
She sighed and hold the king tight, very worried.
"Come on, Brianna, push!" The nurses enouraging her. She gathered her strength and pushed, while screaming painfully. A baby's cry is finally heard.
"It's a boy, oh no." Said the nurse.
Brianna lost strength to even touch her son.
Five minutes later, she begin to cry in pain again, and that was when the nurses realized, there was another baby in the womb. She pushed again and again until another baby came out.
"It's a girl!" The doctor screamed. "You have another baby, dear, would you like to hold your baby?"
She accept. As Soon as she holds the child in her hands, a bleary vision appeared on her face. As she brings the baby close, her vision kept improving until she finally could see her baby clearly. She couldn't believe it, that once again she could see. Tears begin to roll down. She stare around the labour ward and then back to the baby in tears.
"Mrs Yachi, are you ok?
"I can see, doctor, I can see....! "
"What? Are you sure you can see?"
"Yes yes I can see you all. you are wearing blue uniforms, I can see my babies!" She cried out tears of joy.
This was really a miracle that has never happened in history before. She hold in her hands, both her children and begin a song, sung by Reuben, entitled, "PALIBESENGE." She walked out with both her children while the doctors and the nurses followed after her, in such happy smiles.
The prince and the rest of the family where overwhelmed with bliss.
