. “Please, what’s the name of the deodorant you wear?” She enquired, squinting her eyes.
Henry’s eyes popped more open than usual. “But you use the same type, you know it already.” He smiled.
“Mum, this was the car I saw that day, the one I saw that man come out of, that Sunday we went out.” Anthony chimed in.
“How’s she? What made you guys wait for some seconds before taking off?” Nicholas asked
“Guy, please don’t rush me. The two almost discovered that you were in the car before, in fact the small boy recognized the car.”
“He recognized the car? Who’s that boy?”
“You won’t believe that he’s the boy we rescued from two guys that day, Nicholas.” Henry said.
Nicholas shut the door out of surprise. “Drive on, Henry.” He said,
Henry parked the vehicle and looked at Nicholas. “Is this not Prince Edward’s car?” He asked.
“‘What’s he doing here, Henry?” Nicholas asked.
“How would I know too?”
“So this is Vivian’s house, right?”
Vivian waited for a while before she unlocked the gate. “How did you get to know this place?” She asked the Prince.
“At least you should let me come in with my friend.” He said.
“I’m sorry, you can’t come inside. Please why are you here?” She asked.
“Your mobile number, please?”
“I’m sorry, please.” She jammed the gate and walked inside.
Prince laughed. “We should go by the plan.” He said to Osmond as both turned away.
“Did you hear that, Henry?” Nicholas asked.
“What? What did they say?”
“I heard the Prince, he said he would go by the plan. What plan?”
“Just be patient, Nicholas. Who knows what’s happening?”

Henry parked the vehicle and looked at Nicholas. “Is this not Prince Edward’s car?” He asked.
Nicholas took a close look again as he turned his eyes to the gate and saw Osmond and Edward knocking at the gate of the house.
“‘What’s he doing here, Henry?” Nicholas asked.
“How would I know too?”
“So this is Vivian’s house, right?” Nicholas took another look at the building.
“Yes, Nicholas.” Henry replied.
“Alright, Henry. I feel I should bug this house, I mean bugging the living room and possibly Vivian’s room.” Nicholas said.
Henry took a sharp glance. “Nicholas! Why? Do you need this?”
“To uncover somethings. I want to know who her husband is, and why she’s not putting on a wedding ring.”
“But let’s come to think of it, Nicholas. What if she isn’t a freak of putting on wedding ring?”
“No, I know her! I know her well. She liked wedding rings that she even had images of wedding rings on her mobile phone, then. Maybe the two divorced, or what do you think?”
Henry sighed.

Vivian waited for a while before she unlocked the gate. “How did you get to know this place?” She asked the Prince.
“At least you should let me come in with my friend.” He said.
“I’m sorry, you can’t come inside. Please why are you here?” She asked.
“I came to invite you to a small party that will be coming up in the Palace on the weekend.”
“Ooh.. I’m sorry, I don’t party.” She smiled faintly.
“Let mine be the first of all to be attended. But, before this, I know I ought to apologize for what happened earlier, Vivian. I’m sorry that lady slapped you.”
“That lady?” Vivian asked again.
“Just leave her out, she doesn’t matter here now.”
“But, wait, how did you know this place?”
“Leave that to me. I am also here to give you the offer of employment as the managing director of my company, Vivian.” Prince Edward said.
“I don’t fall for material things, I’m sorry.” She was about shutting the gate when Prince’s hand stopped it.
“Your mobile number, please?”
“I’m sorry, please.” She jammed the gate and walked inside.
Prince laughed. “We should go by the plan.” He said to Osmond as both turned away.

“Did you hear that, Henry?” Nicholas asked.
“What? What did they say?”
“I heard the Prince, he said he would go by the plan. What plan?”
“Just be patient, Nicholas. Who knows what’s happening?”
The moon had disappeared and the sun had taken it’s place in the sky. It was already 9am in the morning when Nicholas took a glimpse at his wristwatch and another at Henry who had been playing the acoustic guitar for a while.
He cleared his throat to gain his attention. The previous day was indeed stressful but the two had to wake up as early as possible to prepare breakfast, freshen up and prepare for that day. He had made sure he left Vivian’s vicinity yesterday only when he saw the Prince and his friend drive away from Vivian’s compound.
He slept very well because it was a very busy day he had the previous day, but he woke up into the mystery of thoughts that morning, wondering what Prince came for and why he said he would go by a plan. What plan? He kept thinking till he got Henry’s attention and sighed.
“We got to prepare a schedule for today’s operation, Henry.” He said as he bit his fingernails.
Henry looked at him too. “Yes, Nicholas. Yesterday wasn’t an easy day at all.” He smiled.
Nicholas chuckled. “That’s true, but our enemies aren’t on their various seats right now, they are exploring everywhere, in search of us to devour.”
Henry sighed. “How do we go about today? What do you have in mind?” He enquired.
Nicholas stopped biting his nails and looked at Henry again. “I want you to just get closer to Vivian to know more about her, her lifestyle and about the Prince who wants to go by a plan.” He said.
“But Nicholas, are you sure you heard about any plan yesterday?” Henry asked.
Nicholas frowned. “I really did. I heard that Prince, he actually said it. By the way, we have to know everything because now that I have found her, even if she is no longer mine, I have to protect her well.” Nicholas said.
Henry swooshed out a long breath as he swallowed. “Alright, I’ll start by doing that. So, what are you going to be busy with today?”
“I’m just going to find my way because you’ll have to take my car along with you. But, make sure you recharge your mobile phone in case we have to talk.”
“Alright, Nicholas.”
“I still want to continue trailing and listening to Engineer Ashley’s voice note well.” He added.
“Just be careful, you know they don’t wish us well.” Henry said as he stood up.
“But wait, why’s it that you’re putting on my shirt today?” Nicholas asked.
“I want to have your scent too, so Vivian wouldn’t suspect anything.” Henry replied him.
“But you should have used the perfume on your own shirt instead of wearing mine. Anyways, don’t take too long there.” Nicholas smiled.
“Alright, I’ll call you.” Henry smiled too and waved as he stepped out.

Beatrice swiveled her chair angrily. She looked into Lizzy’s eyes and hissed as she breathed heavily. “I feel like crushing that Vivian, Lizzy.” She said as she swiveled the chair around again.
No one was needed to be told how much umbrageous she was before knowing she was really (cheesed off).
“Just keep calm, Beatrice.” Lizzy said with a smile.
“But actually you know how I’m feeling! After many years, how come? Answer me! A Prince for that matter, no one can steal him away, I’m saying that.” She hissed again.
“But, you mean the Prince really never called since yesterday, Bibi.” Lizzy said.
Beatrice shrugged. “He didn’t! I’m sure he must have followed that Dam and I’m sure he fell for her.” She said.
Lizzy smiled again. “What do i do now? Do we visit the Prince then?” Lizzy asked.
“No, Lizzy. Our first mission is to get that Vivian. I have been wondering on something.” She said.
“What?” Lizzy asked.
“Don’t you know only living souls can try to snatch one’s love? Dead bones can’t move.” She laughed.
Like father, like daughter.

Edward wiped his face with handkerchief as he moved closer to Osmond. He had not been able to concentrate on his work that morning, he felt Osmond might be a source of help to him and beckoned on him.
“Prince Edward, what’s wrong?”
“I’m not fine at all. I just don’t know why that Vivian of a girl has filled both the void and occupied spaces of my heart since I saw her again last night.” He said.
Osmond cleared his throat and picked up a seat. “Prince, just calm down. I don’t know what’s really wrong with you, but I think you’re just being paranoid.”
Edward laughed. “What do you mean by being paranoid?”
“Sure, you never felt this way for Beatrice and I’m sure you haven’t even called her for reconciliation. That’s partiality!” He laughed.
Edward chuckled. “Anyway please what do I do? I really need you to help me.”
“We have no choice than to keep pressuring this lady. I wouldn’t know if you have the time now, can’t we check on her at home?” Osmond asked.
“We should be. At least, Beatrice sacked her already, she should be at home.” He replied.
“Lets go.” The two stood up and walked out.
** ** **
“You mean you want to end her story?” Lizzy asked Beatrice.
Beatrice nodded. “I wish to send her to a journey she would never return. Who knows who will come next if Prince Edward leaves me? I can’t marry a razz guy, God knows.
Lizzy chuckled. “But, wouldn’t it be dangerous to waste her life like that? What if we just throw her into a big trouble? Or if possible just pour a concentrated Hydrochloric acid on her face that her beauty would turn to ugliness and would chase Prince away.”
“Wao! Nice one, Lizzy. We can just pour acid on her. At least we’ve not killed her, just to teach her a big lesson and to chase Prince away from her.”
“Off we go, Bibie.” The two stood up and walked out.
