Enzo is the king?
DREAM LAND.
The man that looked like a kingstood atop the a hill looking at the ruins that had befell his kingdom.
He walked down from the hill, with dejection on his face like someone who had nothing to protect anymore.
He said aloud, "There's nothing to protect anymore, what's the use of a King who cant guarantee the safety of his kingdom? I am powerful and fearless yes. But now that the my kingdom has fallen, I am now rendered useless!"
He walked slowly with his sword in his hands which seems useless and Continued,
"Hazel, I never had an idea that Hazel would betray me the way she did, she was my wife, my queen, my everything. She was the only person I trusted. But she betrayed me"
His head dropped low, he sighed then sat down halfway to the land and Continued, "If I had known, I won't have did any Marriage anniversary, It was during the preparation for our marriage anniversary, I was preparing to make her happy. Hazel had told me that she wanted a diamond ring for a gift therefore luring me away from the kingdom, If I had known I won't have head to her wishes, Upon my arrival, everything is gone and Hazel? She's nowhere to be found"
Still grieving on his loss and ruins, he walked down to hill and met the angry and weary look of an old woman, Mother Bella, Hazel's grandmother.
He stood and bowed alightly but she stopped her. "Hazel! Where is my Hazel?"
The king looked back, trying to look stern and authoritative like he always did but the old woman seems not to be intimidated.
She continued, "You failed as the King to Protect your kingdom and even your wife Hazel, my only grandchild. How dare you still try to act as if you're high and mighty?"
He gulped hard seems like trying keep his temper under control.
"I... I'm sorry"
"Hazel was taken as hostage to the neighboring kingdom Because of you and you can't even save her? You can't even save my grandchild?"
"Mother Bella, it's...not really my fault, Hazel, she...."
"Shut it! What defence can you make now? What's the use of a king that can't Protect his kingdom? Where's your pride Enzo? Where's your authority and arrogance? Fairfield Kingdom has fallen! My Hazel is gone too. What can you say now? Enzo!"
He hold himself trying to suppress his anger, the woman is right he thought, "I am a failure to my wife and Kingdom. I allowed a woman's instincts to lead my Kingdom to ruins. I am sure that Hazel will not forgive me again!"
Just beside the river they were standing, something floated to the riverbank, just by their side. It was the dead body of a lady.
He moved closer and turned it around, behold! It was Hazel!

"Alice!"
I jumped up from the bed in frenzy. Despite the air conditioner in the room, I am sweating profusely like someone being chased.
No I'm not chased, I have a nightmare! A terrible nightmare. As the King turned the lady it was not Hazel it was Alice.
How did my Alice get into that damned dream? Wait... Something is not right....
The king... I can't see the face of the king.... Could.... 'Where is your pride Enzo?"
Why did that old woman mention my name? Can.. can I be that king?
****
Alice had went home and explained the situation to her brother. She only mentioned that her shop was being taken over and she was going to work for the President that now owed the shop and not that the president is Enzo.
Good thing her brother was supportive and had faith in whatever she does and doesn't bother to know who the person is.
Alice didn't want to involve Kyle in her dealings with Enzo anymore.
He could live a simple life as long as his heart was still on good form. SE had decided that she'll go with Enzo and leave Kyle behind.
That night, she couldn't sleep, she was deep in thoughts about Enzo when her phone rang and interrupted the trail of her thoughts.
It was an unknown number, she picked it gingerly.
"Don't shout, you are not eligible to be my friend again not until you come back here as the madam of a rich man I've always known"
Damn it was Camilla!!!
"Mila!!" She shouted.
Camilla indeed called her. How she had missed her friend. She felt tears in her face as she replied. "I'm.... I'm Sorry" she sounded.
Camilla hissed over the phone, "You.. you leave me behind, even if you don't tell anyone can't you confide in me?"
Tears were now choking Alice as she made to reply then Continued, "Alice why? If you had told me that you're manipulated I would have fought for you, but you left as if I'm not in anywhere important"
After she had subsided her tears she finally said , "Mila I... I don't know, I was controlled, I regretted it after doing it, I'm very stupid!"
"Yes you're stupid! You're the most stupid ever, like you're insane well, I can't really blame you because I got to know my baby because of you"
Before she could even ask a question Camilla said, "Come back soon, I can't wait to show off my new boyfriend"
Then she hung up the phone.
