Chapter 14 - Shopping

"Here your highness" a dark skinned man said as he handed the pictures he had just photoshoped to the king who smiled in satisfaction as he scanned it, "very soon our tuner would be back" he mumbled and laughed excitedly then he suddenly shot the dark skinned man a cold look "remeber our agreement, nobody must know about this else your family would bear the consequence" the king mumbled sinisterly and the man shuddered then nodded hastily making the king smile in satisfaction "you can leave" the king muttered with a wave of his hand and the dark man rushed out, as soon as the man left, the king scanned the room with a sinister gaze and the few occupants in the room bowed their heads immediately, while the king strolled away to his room with a heart filled with joy.

In Newyork ; it was noon, and the day wasnt getting any intresting, the ladies were busy with their phones, Jade was running after the poor puppy, Teddy, and Roland was scribling things into his notebook, "i feel bored" Ixora muttered and yawned "me too" Jade added as they both turned to turlip with a pleading expression, "what?" Turlip questioned "Turlip, lets take a stroll i promise to stay put and not touch anything" Jade said with the cutest expression she could make, "lets go shopping Turlip its so boring in here" Ixora added "really?, i can go shopping here?" Jade exclaimed and Ixora nodded making the girl scream in excitement "please Turlip lets go shopping" Jade begged, "Ixora, is this one of your plans to make me pay for your shoppings?" Turlip questioned and Ixora laughed awkwardly "i wasnt planning anything i just want all of us to go shopping and get things we need" Ixora mumbled "really?" Turlip muttered with raised brows then finally conceded "okay, get your selves prepared" she said and the other two girls squealed in excitement while Turlip sighed and Roland gave them a clueless glance. Finally they were in the shopping mall, any body could easily see the excitement in Jade's eyes as she hopped from one stand to another, her face got her a lot of attention but she was completely oblivious to any of the stares directed at her, Turlip walked right behind her, with hands in her pocket and with a serious expression, her job was to gaurd the excited girl and keep her on the right lane while Ixora kept picking and picking with her son, minuites passed and Ixora had to borrow Turlip to help her chose lingerings, while Jade was asked to sit and wait, just after a few minuites chaos broke out as huge deadly looking men walked into the store gaurding a god like figure, who had a round lap dog in his hand, it could have looked awkward on any other person but the lap dop added more elegance to the figure, he had a uniquely shaped face, dark blue eyes that appeared like they were pearing into peoples soul, long legs, Jet black hair and a good body build. He is Cyan Donovan, first grandson of the mighty Donovan family, son of one of the most powerful female business tycoon, Mrs Vera Donovan and Mr Daniel Macmillian who dissappeared with no trace since Cyan was four, he has his mother's surname and that had hapoened since his father's dissappearance one of the most elegible bachelors in town, ceo of some of the largest business groups, and heir to the Donovan family business, and his name, a deadly weapon, Is very popular among people. Girls screamed at the sight of him and men glanced with envy, camera lights flashed from different angles but the man remained indiffrent and cold, while the man behind him who had glasses on sighed, Jade had other thoughts running in her mind, the dog looked so much like Teddy, she wondered if Teddy had been kidnapped because they werent home, then she suddenly thought about those wicked things the deadly looking men were going to do to Teddy, she looked around for Turlip and Ixora but they were no where in sight and Teddy was almost getting away, suddenly she dashed through the huge figures and lunged at Cyan in their midst but she was grabbed immediately by one of the men and she began to struggle like a wild cat, people gasped and a crowed formed to watch the show, "you dog thief hand Teddy back" she cried and the tempreture dropped several degrees while people wondered what was going on, Cyan had a stormy expression on his face he was suddenly beign accused for stealing a dog "miss, are you mistaken" the man with glasses, Cyan's secetary had to speak up imnediately, "thats Teddy, how could i be mistaken" Jade screamed as she suddenly slipped away from the grasp of the man holding her and grabbed the lazy round dog, which got terrified and began to bark wildly it jumped away in terror to Cyan's secetary and people began to murmur, many began to speculate that she wanted Cyan to notice her, "see that miss, the dog is scared of you, it isnt yours" the secetary said with a frown "this only tells me that i wasnt wrong, you all kidnapped Teddy, Teddy is scared of me" she said, "miss, if i prove that this dog is mine i would get you arrested" Cyan finally spoke "go on" she yelled and Cyan made a hand gesture to his secetary who brought out his laptop, just then Turlip appeared from the crowd "Jade" she cried and the girl ran to her with a face filled with grudge "he stole Teddy" she cried pointing to Cyan and Turlip froze, the man had a probing gaze, and of course she knew him "that isnt Teddy, Teddy is at home cant you see the collar is different" Turlip scolded and Jade turned to look at the silver collar then she became awkwardly silent, "i, i am sorry" she said to Cyan and his group then walked away with Turlip who also bowed in apology, "sir" the secetary muttered with a question mark expression, he couldnt believe his boss was letting them go after the embarrasment, but Cyan waved him off, he gazed in the direction they went for a while then strolled away, the crowd also dispersed and the mall resumed its purpose of buying and selling.
