Married to Prince Khaleefah

The Greatest Mistake

Ayman

I stared at Zaina's coffee skin, she was the definition of Black beauty. I lowered my gaze, and brought out my phone. Only to get a message from Humayra.

Lioness 💕 :- Guess what, I just got my ring from Amjad. We are Officially Official.

You might be wondering, why I saved it as Lioness. Well, with what she has gone through in life, and yet still smiles, she is the strongest Lioness ever. I love her strength, and her bravery. Finally, things are falling into place for her. If I should find that demon, that ruined her life,  I will introduce him to Hell on Earth.

Me:- Congrats Sis. Proud of you. Don't forget me for ' him ' .

I put my phone back in my pants, and she began to wake up. I called the Nurse, and she helped her up.

" Ay..man " she called weakly, and I rushed to her, giving her a heart warming smile, she was about to fall, when I helped her get balance.

" Looks like you really love her, sir. "
The Nurse said, and I just smiled. I loved her , it can not be measured.

" It's not a serious case. Just minor head injuries, give her , her drugs, and make sure she is not alone. "

The Nurse said and left.

I didn't know what to do, she was all alone, I couldn't just leave her alone, unless she could stay with us.

" Yeah ! " I half yelled, but then I was well aware she wouldn't agree.

" Ayman. Thank you. "

" You are welcome. "

" Take me home .... Please. "

" What do you mean ' Home ? ' "
I asked, and she replied.
" You are well aware. "
" but Zaina... "

" I appreciate you saving me, but lets end things here, please. If you can't take me, I'll call the driver. "

" You can't stay alone. "

" The maid is there. "

" Can she cook, take care of the house, and you too. Regardless, she has to rest. There's no way you can do it alone. "

" Fine, drive me to Mukhtar's house. "

" What ?  Leave me here, drive me Home, or drive me to Mukhtar's house. You know what? I don't need your help, just Leave."

" Fine, I'll drop you with Mukhtar. "
I didn't trust him, but I had no choice. I brought out a tracker I always have with me, and secretly placed it on her.

The drive was silent, and breaking the awkwardness, the car came to a stop.
" Here's it. "

I brought out the Wheel Chair, from the back seat, and helped her get on it, then left her. I knew she  hated vulnerability.

However, Mukhtar who pretended to be Hurt, used the wheel chair, to help her move, when she tried to go on her own, he would say. " do you want to break your bones again. You should be aware of your limitations."

I knew she was hurt, but she hid it with a smile. How could she be that dum.

I was about leaving, when Mukhtar asked me to wait, and I reluctantly agreed.

I walked into the House, it was beautiful, but medium sized. I asked him. " She can't be alone with you. They Should be a nurse. "

" Calm your Horses, my sister lives with me. She is just out to get some groceries, she'll soon be back. "

" I'll go, when I see your sister. " I said, and Zaina rolled her eyes, after a few minutes of waiting, she finally showed up. She greeted me, confused , but I just rose my hand as a reply, and left the house.

*******

" ARE YOU MAD ! THIS IS THE GREATEST MISTAKE YOU HAVE EVER DONE. "

" How is it my fault ? " I asked, feeling innocent — I don't think I was wrong in any way.

" You would've insisted, if Mukhtar was as a terrorist, as you said , then you wouldn't have let him stay. "

" Well, he had a sister, she'll be there. "

" When did you become a fool ? She could be his maid. Did she say she was   his sister. Or did you ask her ? "

" No, I completely ignored her. However, she was dressed modestly. "

" Of course she was dressed modestly, she could be his maid ... or someone else. "

" Yeah, Yeah. What can I do now ? "

" Well, as far as I can remember, She said he was Prince Khaleefah's cousin. "

" Yeah, So? " I 1qlasked confused.

" Meaning, they are popular. If she was Mukhtar's cousin, then she was also Prince Khaleefah's cousin. Somewhere we could find her. "

" Right ! " I  said, and she  brought out her laptop, and asked me to describe her.

" She had a Caramel toned skin, she had a pointed nose, and thick eye black eye brows. Her lips were sort of wide. " He said, and she went online, searching for Prince Khaleefah's family, but found nothing.

" Sorry bro. " she said, downcast, and I flashed her a smile, an went to my room. After having a long warm shower, I lay on my bed, and held Zaina's photo, close to my heart.

" I love you Zaina, but you had to be so foolish." I sighed, and tried to sleep, but I couldn't, Sultan was playing with his tablet, and it was so disturbing, so I went outside, and yelled at him.

" CAN'T YOU JUST KEEP SHUT ! YOU ARE SO... " That was when I realised that I made him cry.

I carried him, and took him to my room.

" Sorry Champ ! " I said, cleaning his tears, and I threw him about, until he got happy, he lay on my Chest, and I felt so warm. Sultan felt the photo on his back, and took it.

" Yaya, this is Sultana's friend ! "

" Why do you have her photo ? " He asked curiously, and then smiled mischievously.

" You are in love! " He screamed, and carried the photo, running to dad's room, and I raced after him, and then he reached Dad, panting as he said.

" Yaya is in love ! He was with this photo. "

" Dad... " I began but he cut me off, by talking to Sultan.

" Can you excuse us ? Go play, I'll call for you. " Sultan happily left, and I rolled my eyes.

" Who is this ? "

" Zaina Abdullahi Gambo. "

" Doctor's daughter ? "

" Yes Dad. "

" From a Respectable Family. "

" Yes Dad. "

" It wasn't a question, but this is... Do you Love her ? "

" Y..yes.. Yes Dad ! "

" Awesome, Great ! "

" Actually dad... "

" What happened son ? "

I narrated everything that had happened, from how we first met, the call, and everything, and dad asked about Mukhtar.

" He is Prince Khaleefah's Son. "

" Mukhtar Alhassan Khaleefah ? "

" Yes, dad. "

" I attended his wedding a year ago. "
