Chapter 3 The great scene

"Betrothed!!" Petra repeated and arose as she went over to where her son stood while Axel only waited for his reply.

"What did you hear son?" Marco ask.

"Don't tell me you've been eavesdropping on our conversation!' he howled and Axel gulped.

"Not so dad,"

"Then what else!!"

"My Lord please calm down! Son we weren't talking about you, i know what you're thinking!" Petra consoled and Axel rolled his eyes.

"Fine mum, but i just hope you aren't hiding something from me," he muttered and walked away.

Petra sigh and went back to her husband

"Our son can.be perplexed at times,"

"Make sure you don't tell him anything , for now untill it's the right time," Said Don Marco with so much mean in his voice .

Diana arrived home late that night with the proudest smile like never before.

It turned out to be her luck that she won in the beauty contest this time and within a twinkle of an eye her name was trending every social media of her winning team.

"Congratulations girl!!" Lucia exclaimed and hugged Diana who quickly reciprocate the hug.

"It's time to pop this!!!"Mina shouted and they joined.

It was a huge celebration that night as they celebrated her sucess and while doing so here was Tanya in her own room fuming in anger and agitation.

She sipped her wine over and over again still not trying to believe She loose this time.

But it was obviouse she loose.

And everything about her have been taken away and handed to Princess Diana Sebastian

"Noooooo!!"

She screamed out throwing her glass of wine and every other thing around her.

She was in total anguishment and full tears of bitterness cause right now all her effort was in vain.

"Grrrrrr..... Someone of the phone...Prince orlando ...Prince orlando..."

Her heart raised on hearing that from her phone. She quickly wiped off her tears and grabbed the phone.

"Hello Orland .."

Are you okay?"

"Yes .....I'm fine..."

"C'mon what happened this time? You didn't pay the judges?"

"That's a rough question you know that!!" She snapped.

"But it's worth an answer!"

"Just get off the phone!!" She yelled.

The call ended and she sigh in frustration.

She really needs to get rid of that lady even before dawn.

Next day Axel came down the stairs with just his ear pud and phone looking hot than ever.

The maids droll at just his sight as they kept murmuring probably decribing how handsome he looked.

"Axel!!" His sister called just when he was about stepping out.

"Suzanne!" He called and smiled at her as they embraced each other.

"How have you been?'

"I'm fine and ....there isn't any need of asking you about how you are cause you're already stunning!" She said and he winked making her laugh.

"What about the kids? You didn't bring them today?"

"Yeah, cause i actually came for just one message and that's from the plantation the workers havent gotten their pay yet after serving a month at Dakar's kingdom and not even a compensation!!" She said.

"Wasn't that an offer from Princess Diana?"

"Yes it was but it was a wrong and bad offer," she said

"Fine, get some cash and foodstuffs and hand it over to them right now,"

"That's a good one!"

"Greetings my princess," Said the maids as diana approached them.

She stopped and looked at them one after the other with just one dirty glare

"Who is to clean my room this week?" She ask.

"I your highness," Mildred spoke and Diana faced her.

"So why then is my room looking tattered and dirty!!!" She yelled

"Your highness, i just finish cleaning the room..." A slap from Diana arrested the remaining words landing her directly to the ground. Mildred bursted into tears holding her cheeks that were already turning red.

"Toya!!!! Toya!!" She called out on the chief maid who showed up within a second.

"She is fired!!" She stated.

"Noooooo!!!" Cried out Mildred in plea.

"Your highness, I'm sorry but if i may ask whats her offence?" Asked Toya in bewilderment.

"She denied cleaning my room and you know i hate liars!!" She retorted and heard footsteps turning to see her bestie princess Adelaide.

"Hi girl!!" She beamed and rushed to go give her a hug while Toya faced Mildred.

"Ma'am. I was innocent, i just cleaned her room..."

"Sssshsh? I know you did it right but from the look of things it seems she doesn't want you anymore that's the only thing she does as to make her convinced that you are at fault so don't worry, you will get another suitable job okay?" Toya consoled Mildred who kept sniffing tears.

"What!!" Diana exclaimed rising up from her seat.

Adelaide just broke the news to her about Axel's help on the workers at the plantation which pushed her to a state of rage.

" What's the matter Diana!"

"How could he!!! Who does he think he is to come show off himself here in my father's land?! He isn't worth a thing so why then should he do this!!"

"C'mon Diana what are you saying? This is Princess Axel we're talking about here! And he isn't just a prince but a celebrity and you know what, he is a Mafia,"

Adelaide said and all Diana could do was just laugh.

"And what's funny this time?"

"I hate Mafias!!!!! They are worth nothing !! They are useless and a nobody! Those workers don't deserve those awards! They don't!!!!"

"Why?"

"I don't see anything good they've done!!'

"So what are your plans?* Adelaide ask knowing fully well Diana was up to something.

"Watch and see," she said and grabbed her hand fan as she stumped out of the room.

Adelaide stared at the floor wondering what she was up to. She also arose and quickly followed her friend.

"Thank you so much sir!! We're so grateful... Thank you....thank you ....thanks....thank you so much sir...."

Said the workers as they collected each of the cash and food items from the guards Axel had sent.

And all of a sudden , they heard gun shot startling everyone as they turned to the directions to see Cars driving in.

They all cleared the road as the first car stopped and Diana alighted along with her guards.

She walked up to Suzanne.

She clapped her hands as they stared at each other while Suzanne wondered what was really the problem.

"This is against my wish!! You can't come in here you mistaken creature to do this in my land,"

She said.

"Yes i know but as you can see, im not doing the wrong thing, how long have this people here worked and all you do us complain and never appreciated them! Thats unfair!! Am i right?' Suzanne faced everyone

"Yes you are!!!" They responded and Diana chuckled

"Wow! Wow! And wow!!' She said

"Now listen everyone im just gonna give you guys ten minutes to depart from this premises else...'

"Else what!!' Suzanne chipped in approaching her slowly

"I'll do my worst !!"

"Do it and you'll face the wrath from Axel! Anc not only Axel but from my father,"

"Who is your father? And who is Axel, tell them that i princess Diana send ny regards to them..., guards, set the land ablaze," she ordered and within a twinkle of an eye, the plantation was set on fire to the utmost shock of everyone.
