After having the kids take their shower and helping them take their meal, Rhea Azaan helped them into bed telling them to rest early because the following day she would have Hutson and Lina take them out for shopping.
She also helped them make a list of what they wanted, both essentials and for their work, then she send them off to sleep and also retired to bed.
The following day, Rhea Azaan gave Hutson her card and the list of what the kids need and also told him to get them what they will desire to have in the course of their shopping. After helping them get dressed, Rhea Azaan send them off in company of Hutson and Lina. She then drove off to work.
THE AZAAN HOME
"Sir, as for the company, we need her signature to complete the whole process." Derek said.
"Can't it be complete without it? I know she can't voluntarily hand it over." Mr. Amor Azaan said. The first process of having her disowned from the family was through but yet to be disclosed to the media.
Avery lamented over her husband's decision but what can she do?
Mr. Amor Azaan slapped the papers on the table startling Avery.
"Woman, the earlier you accept the reality, the better for both of us." He said.
"You are being cruel to your own daughter. Who in their right mind would do what you just did?" Avery asked.
"She seems to be a grown-up woman who can't listen to me. Let her live her life!" Mr. Amor Azaan said.
"I beg my leave sir." Derek bowed respectively.
"Fine, have the information disclosed to the media immediately." Mr. Amor Azaan said.
"Yes sir." Derek bowed and left.
…
"OH my God! Did you hear the recent news?"
"What is it about?"
"The goddess has been disowned by her parents!"
"Wait, when was that?"
"Just today evening. Haven't you heard of it? I just watched the afternoon news and was shocked beyond words."
"How can that be possible? What's the reason behind such a reckless decision from parents?"
"Rumors has it that she's in love with the man who risked his life for her. Her parents wanted her to get married to Geo Arman from Helium Prime which she refused."
"Who in their right mind would disown a country's princess?" are they ok?"
The shocking news of Rhea Azaan being disowned by her parents went around faster. No one dared believe it at first.
In her office, Rhea Azaan smiled bitterly as she replayed the video then and then, especially the part where her own father addressed the media announcing officially his decision to disown the country's princess on accounts that she no longer listens to her parents.
But despite loosing her family members, she knew she had a new family to take care of. She was less worried about her father's decision but more worried about Kiaan's life and the welfare of her children.
The media was already outside waiting for her to say something. Valerie walked in.
"Madam, the media personnel are out there waiting." She said.
"Close this office for me." Closing the files she was already working on, Rhea Azaan walked out the office leaving Valerie stranded.
"She doesn't look worried. How comes?" she thought. "I'll personally be in tears if my family disown me."
Rhea Azaan walked out of the elevator. Everyone stopped working and turned to look at her. She looked less bothered by the news nor what her father said. She walked out to meet the media people.
"Goddess, what do you have to say about your father's claim?" one reporter asked.
"Actually, I don't have anything meaningful thing to say about his decision to disown me. Since he is my parent, the one who gave birth to me and has raised me since childhood, I do respect his decision." Rhea Azaan said what left the reporters open mouthed.
"Your father went ahead to say you have a secret affair with a dying poor man. Si that true?"
"Whatever my father said is totally true. He can't lie about anything. But what I know he can never disclose is how the man found himself on the death bed. He is the way he is right now because he tried protecting, something my father would never have managed to do that time." Rhea Azaan said.
"What do you want to tell your parents after their decision?"
"I respect their decision. Dad, mom, I know you all want the best for me and if disowning me will make me get the best, why not embrace it? Am really ok with whatever the two of you have to offer to your beloved daughter." Rhea Azaan said and finally excuse herself saying she had a family to take care of.
If there was anyone shocked by Rhea Azaan's answers, then it was Mr. Amor Azaan. He expected his daughter to fall down and beg to be allowed back to the family which never happened.
Rhea Azaan drove back home.
All the kids were in the living room with Hutson and Lina.
"Uncle, is it true what the media is saying?" Henry asked.
"It has shocked everyone you know, but it's true. Before both of you were brought here, we had workers and guards around this estate but mommy's dad ordered them to leave. That's why you didn't find anyone here except the two of us." Hutson explained.
"That means mommy is really disowned right now?" Rex asked.
"Yes… but you don't have to worry. We're all here to keep you and mommy company. When dad wakes up, then this will be the happiest family ever." Lina said.
"Mommy!" Carly, whose whole attention was on the door jumped up and hugged Rhea Azaan. All the kids surrounded Rhea Azaan and it was a sight worth breath taking. Rhea Azaan hugged them both.
"How was your shopping?" She asked.
"It went well. Uncle Hutson and aunty Lina were really a great help." Henry said.
"Am happy to hear that." Rhea Azaan sat down and the kids surrounded her with stories of how their shopping went by. It was fine until Harris asked about why their mommy was disowned.
"It's because mommy loves daddy." Rhea Azaan said smiling. "But you all don't need to worry about anything. We will be fine here with no one to make trouble for us."
"Now, I want to see what you all bought and let me know if you forgot anything." Rhea Azaan said. The kids led them to where the new items were.
"What do you think of her? She's such a great mother, right?" Hutson asked smiling.
"Sure, you can never imagine a princess who lived under the wing of her parents is such a good person in real life." Lina said.
"I love the way she relates with the children. They too love her." Hutson said.
"If Kiaan wakes up now, I can't imagine how happy he will be."
"Come, let's prepare supper. Probably they will want to spend a night in the hospital and we shouldn't keep them waiting." Hutson stood up. The two went over to the kitchen.
After dinner, the family drove to the hospital where they spend the night with Kiaan Tilden.
Morning…
After driving the kids home, Rhea Azaan drove to Kiaan's place. She had found the key card in his trousers that day and today she went over to pick up his belongings.
The landlord had watched news but he wasn't aware the man who was lying half dead in hospital was the same tenant who had moved in few days ago. When Rhea Azaan arrived, he was very surprised at the sudden visit.
"Her majesty…" He started. Rhea Azaan smiled politely and told him why she was there.
Fannie was more than surprised. The man she had loved was Rhea Azaan's man. Huh!
Rhea Azaan packed what belonged to Kiaan Tilden and then left the house.
