Riana sighed for the fifth time, this lecture is really boring, she wants to see her Ricardo she pouted sadly.
Miss Agatha noticed her mood and said "that's all for today, I'll come tomorrow".
Riana nodded and she left.
Riana thought for a while, her father is really serious about her getting married, she suddenly remembered the strange man she met at the mall.
*Flashback at the mall*
"Hello there little niece, the man smirked startling Riana.
"Who are you?"she asked.
"Your uncle" the man replies.
"Uncle? Are you kidding me,Riana said with a frown.
"Don't get me wrong, am not a human we're the same, it seems your father didn't tell you anything about me, how interesting he said.
"He would have if it was important, you don't expect me to believe you,do you" Riana retorted this man here is giving her dark vibes and she doesn't like it, even his dress is all black, what a weird taste he has.
The man chuckled darkly, "you're one hell of a niece, I never knew you have a sharp tongue", he then slowly rolls the sleeve of his shirt up and showed his wrist to her.
"Am sure your father has this" he said.
Riana eyes widened, she remembered seeing this on her father's wrist and when she asked about it, he said it was a symbol of royalty and it's only the royal member of the king's family has this tattoo on their wrist.
"I see you recognized it", the man said rolling down his sleeve.
"What do you want" she asked, she's sure this man didn't approach to just tell her he's her uncle.
"Well I see you're enjoying yourself with a human here, you and I know it's an abomination" the man smirked.
"Why do you care, don't tell me you're going to tell my father about it" she said glaring at the man.
"I have a offer for you" the man said getting serious.
What offer? She asks.
"I can make you double" he said.
Riana looked at him confused double? How?
"What i mean is that, I can make you both on earth and in heaven at the same time he said.
"Is that even possible" she muttered but he heard her.
"Yes it is, nothing is impossible when it comes to me, but also it comes with a price he said smirking, something dangerous sparked in his eyes but it went back immediately as if it wasn't there before.
Riana was slow to notice, "what's the price" she asked.
"I'll tell you when the time comes, are you taking the offer or not he said.
Riana thought for a while, can she trust this weird looking man in front of her, but at the same time she's willing to sacrifice anything as long as she's with Ricardo.
"I'll think about it" she said.
"Hmm" the man nodded and said let's meet at this same location when you've made up your mind don't worry I know when you show up here.
Riana eyes him suspiciously, he winked at her and left as he came.
Ends of *flashback*
Few days later.
Riana was dressed and set to go out, her so called suitor and his father are around and they're waiting for her.
As she stepped into where they were all seated waiting for her along with her father and mother, she saw the young man but his back was facing her. His wings were magnificent she thought and walked closer to them.
Mother, father she called bowing and turn to the visitors and bowed slightly.
"Wow Zario, I didn't know your daughter would be this beautiful, a man in his 50's said intimately to the king.
King Zario smiled, he gestured for Riana to come closer.
This is Gabriel and his father, the king said introducing Gabriel and his father to Riana.
Riana smiled and bowed.
She turns to look at Gabriel who has been staring at her from onset.
He's handsome and manly no doubt but he doesn't beat her Ricardo she thought.
He smiles at her and flapped his wings to say he's really admiring her a lot.
We would leave you guys to talk king Zario said and left with the queen and his friend.
"My princess" Gabriel called.
Riana rolled her eyes.
"My name is Riana" she said.
Gabriel chuckled he saw what she did. "You've a pretty name, but I'll still like to call you my princess" he said.
The two talked for a while and enjoyed each other's company.
It was time to go back, he stood up and Riana also stood up facing him.
He suddenly went for her hair and patted it, Riana couldn't help but blush, she quickly hid her face.
Gabriel smiled. "You're pretty my princess" he said.
"Thank you, you're not bad either" she said her face still hidden.
"Son", Gabriel's father called.
He turned to his father and said I really enjoyed my stay here, his father nodded smiling.
"We would take our leave now" Gabriel's father said.
"My friend see you next time" Zario said grinning and they left.
Immediately they left Riana turned and left before the king could say anything.
The queen sighed.
"She will come around" he said and left.
Riana's room**
"I think I have to do this, I mean I can't bring myself to marry someone I don't love, no doubt Gabriel is a nice man and fun to be with but my heart belongs to someone else".
She immediately went to where the azels vessel was kept, did the normal ritual and went to earth.
She went to the mall where Ricardo took her and Larisa the other day, almost immediately the same man showed up next to her startling her again.
"Why do you always scare me like that" she said glaring at him.
The man grinned at her.
Riana hissed angrily.
"Fine am in" she said with determination in her eyes.
"Are you sure little niece, you can't back down once you're in" he said.
"Yes am sure, so get to it" Riana said. Nothing could stop her now.
The man eyes sparked dangerously, Riana saw it and felt a chill run down her spine, she gulped down.
"An angel words cannot be taken back" he said knowingly.
