Queen Rose looked at her daughter and mouthed, "Hold on"
She closed her her eyes to concentrate fully and began to shout as she said the spells. A black smoke was released in the air and they all got thrown back by the force.
"It's over", Queen Rose said and sat on a nearby chair to rest. She watched her daughter lay on the bare floor while her son caught Eve in his arms and began to stroke her face.

THREE WEEKS LATER
"Wifey!", Alexis yelled and looked around the house for his wife. He just came back from work but his wife is nowhere to be found.
"Wi-"
Yoona was crying on the bed and began to clean her tears quickly when she saw him. He threw his briefcase to the floor and sat on the bed with with.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?", He asked one after the other and left her no chance to answer.
"No one", Yoona smiled at him. "How was work today?"
"It was fine but tell me, why were you crying?", Alexis asked and cupped her face.
"Why haven't you divorced me?", Yoona cried and held his hand.
"Never", Alexis said firmly.
"I just came back from the hospital. I-I can't give birth. My womb is…too weak", Yoona cried.
"I know", Alexis said and patted her back to stop crying.
"I can't bear you a child, Alexis. Don't you want children?!", Yoona yelled at him.
"Of course I want children", Alexis laughed. "But life would be nothing without you"
"Really?", Yoona glared at him for not taking the matter serious. Why the hell was he laughing?
"Actually, I spoke to Eve on my way here", Alexis smiled.
"So? Is Eve now Jesus?", Yoona asked with a frown.
"She has decided to allow Tim to be in your custody. She said Tim would see you as a 'mother' for the rest of his life", Alexis said and Yoona stared at him in shock.
"Lest I forget, she asked me to play you this voice note when we're having this conversation", Alexis said and brought out his phone from his pocket to play the voice note.
"Hey bestie! You ain't crying as I speak, right?", Yoona heard Eve's laughter and laughed. Like she knew she would cry.
"Well, I've decided to let Tim be under your wings till he decides to start his own family. We all knows he calls you 'mama'", She laughed again and Yoona chuckled.
"Besides, he's a cute toddler and had always recognized you as his mom because you've been the one taking him around", Eve said and Yoona nodded.
"Actually, Alexis and I have gotten the necessary documents for the transfer of child custody over to you. All you have to do is sign it and send me a picture of it. I'll send it to my lawyer for the final agreement. I can't wait to see Tim's mom at her son's school for the next PTA", Eve concluded and the voice note stopped playing.
Yoona looked at Alexis and her tears began to fall freely. How could he keep suck away from her?
"Babe?", He looked at her and she slapped his hand away.
"Why didn't you tell me?", She cried in his arms.
"I'm sorry. I-"
"I love you", Yoona shut him up with a kiss.
"I love you", Alexis said and bit his lips in embarrassment after his stomach grumbled violently.
"Oh! You're hungry. I cooked-"
"Aren't you ready?", He whispered into her ears and she blushed.
"Shut up, Alexis. We're gonna be parents soon", Yoona hated herself for understanding what he meant.
"So, he's gonna be in his room so-", Alexis began to kiss her neck and she eventually gave in to his advances.

"Look babe. I just hit two million followers already", Indigo ran to meet Raphael. They went on a date at a popular beach at Miami. Everyone were staring at them and taking pictures but they didn't care.
Of course, they would get to sue them if they add the wrong information and all to the pictures.
After Raphael told the world about his girlfriend, all eyes have been on her. Her followers grew, her workload became heavier, she got more contracts and got a little hate as usual.
"What gift do you have for this superstar of yours then?", Raphael held the coconut drink in his hands and pretended to be innocent of what he was asking.
"Raphael", Yoona looked around and cleared her throat.
"My cheeks are itchy. My lips are also-"
Yoona just kissed him in public irrespective of the eyes that have been on them ever since they stepped into the beach.
Raphael was surprised that she kissed him in public. Yoona was the shy time and she kissed him in public!! Hundreds of people were staring at them and she really kissed him! On his freaking lips!!
He dropped the coconut and held her waist and kissed her properly. He doesn't really give a fuck about spectators before. But since they wanna watch, let them watch.
PALACE OF AZARIAH
"A month on the throne and you're still here. Kudos to you King Jamal", Christiana said and stepped into the light.
Jamal raised his head from the documents in his hand and laughed when he heard her voice. He took off his glasses and replied, "I thought you were baking those sweet stuffs to seduce me to stay. I never knew you had another motive"
Christiana laughed and retorted, "I just came to check up on you. You've been here for hours. Take, drink this"
Jamal took the apple juice from her and took a deep breath.
"Thanks", He said and she nodded.
"You still want to be a boss right?", Jamal's eyes went back to the documents.
"What?", Christiana was confused.
"You told me you wanted to be a fashion designer", Jamal said.
"Oh! Yeah", She recalled.
"Then, get ready to see your shop tomorrow and meet investors for your business", He said and raised up his head to look at her. He knows that look.
"I might have gone through one of your sketch pads that were lying around and took some pictures to send as samples to some people that were interested in you", He explained and she nodded.
'Why would he do that? Why does he care?', Christiana asked herself but founded no answer to her question.
"Thank you so much", Christiana said and he nodded.
"No, I'm short of words right now. You got me a shop and all", She was teary eyed.
"No tears. You can pay me back by working hard and letting me see you at the top. Just like your role model - me", He pointed to himself and she laughed.
Yeah, he wanted to see that smile badly.
She looked around his study and her eyes caught one particular book on the shelf.
"Oh my gosh! I never knew you were a fan of blue", She said and he rolled his eyes.
'Who the hell is that?', He asked in his mind.
"She's a writer. She writes romantic stories and is a boss of dark romance. Well, it's blue beauty in all. I don't think you read romantic stories since you're always with your newspapers", She pointed at his documents and he laughed.
"True", He admitted and watched her stand on her toes to take the book.
"The return of a legend. Why are you so-"
The words got caught up in her throat. She could smell his cologne so close to her. What was he doing at her back? Why was he so close?!
"Wha-what are you doing?", She whispered.
"The book", Jamal cleared his throat. "What's the name?"
"The…the return of a legend", She stammered.
He towered over her and bent his head. Christiana gulped her spit and held her breath.
'Fuck! He's so hot!', She screamed in her head and watched his Adam's apple bobble up and down.
Her heart began to beat faster and managed to skip a beat when he gazed at her. She didn't know when she leaned in and kissed him with her eyes closed.
'Oh…shit!', She thought and opened her eyes. He was smiling at her. Why the hell was he smiling?
Wasn't he supposed to say something like; "What are you doing?"
or
"You're fired!!"
or
"Are you crazy?"
But he just stared at her with those lovely eyes and a smile on his face.
Wait, does he…like her too?
"You're faster than me. I love that. I like you, Christiana", Jamal confessed and she looked at him in shock.
"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you. You were my sister boyfriend and I kissed you. She's gonna be so mad with me", Christiana shook her head.
"No Christy", Jamal shook his head. "Your sister would want you to be with me if that makes you happy."
"No, this is wrong", Christina moved away but he held her back by holding her hand.
"No, Christiana. I like you so much. Please let me be your boyfriend. If you don't want people to know, we can keep it a secret", Jamal said.
"Your sister would be rooting for your happiness if she was here. You like me, don't you?", He asked and she bit her lips before nodding in affirmation.
"I'd love to be your girlfriend, Jamal. I mean king Jamal", She covered her mouth in shock.
"It's fine", Jamal said and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him and felt him pat her back lightly. She closed her eyes and smiled widely.

"I'm honored to meet you Caro Gilbert. Actually, I would say I'm one of your fans but hope you don't mind about me being a grown up man?", Caro's twenty fifth blind date joked and she laughed.
Caro's business has taken over the industry by storm. She's still single and rocking her world as a female in the beauty world. Love hasn't yet decided to work out for her.
Her father has been busy setting her up on numerous dates because she wasn't getting any younger. She wouldn't have gone on the date she presently went for but her old man had to threaten to seize her credit cards and cars to ginger her up.
Caro had no choice than to go. She's really glad that she went for the date else she would have missed a date with the interesting man named Benjamin.
"Of course not. Well, I have to say that you're a funny man. I like that", Caro said and Benjamin nodded.
"I don't usually come for dates but today, I'm glad I did", Benjamin said and Caro nodded.
"So, what's your job?", Caro asked and added, "You already know mine"
"I don't think you'll be too impressed with my job. I swear the apron for chef P.Y. You see, he isn't going to cook today because I'm not there to help", Benjamin said and Caro stared at him.
How the hell is that a job?
"How much are they paying you? Because I need a job like that given I am a bad chef", Caro asked because she believed him. She knows chef P.Y and watches his show everyday.
"I'm kidding. Paul Yan is my brother", Benjamin said and she covered her mouth in shock.
"Then, you're B.Y. You're Benjamin Yan. The owner of the food company 'Yearn more'", Caro pointed out and she smiled.
"Well, I can decide to cook for us since you've confessed about being a bad chef", Caro said and she became embarrassed.
"I cook well though", She lied.
"Nah! I can see the blush", Benjamin laughed and she joined in the laugher.
"Uhm, the reason why people are not staring at me like they're doing to you is because they don't know. They've never seen me before so I don't go around telling people who I am. To them, my silly brother is the boss and I want it that way. I like simplicity and privacy", Benjamin said and Caro nodded.
Who won't like such?!
"Me too", Caro said.
"I'd like to see you again, Caro Gilbert", Benjamin said and stood up to shake hands with her.
"Me too", Caro smiled. "Give me a minute. I'll just want to pay for-"
"Don't bother. I paid for it already", Benjamin said and Caro looked at the expensive foods on the table. She couldn't finish them.
"Well then, hold on a bit. I'll tell them to put the rest in takeaway. We shouldn't waste food. I would eat this for dinner. Thanks", Caro said and raised her hand to walk to a waitress.
Benjamin watched her take the food in the takeaway with excitement. He smiled and walked her to her car.
Caro was glad that the date went well. He was not one of those good for nothing men that went about looking for wealth from her and free sex. What she liked most about him was the fact that he was firm and simple.
Wel-Ture Airport
Eve's eyes were focused on the people going out and coming in. She was excited and kept looking. Her hand gripped her steering wheels tightly. She accidentally honked when she saw Lex come out with his luggage.
She dashed out of her car and jumped on him. Her legs were wrapped around his waist as she poured endless kisses all over his face. Lex was surpised but he loved it nevertheless.
He was surprised that she actually came to pick him up personally. She had been his girlfriend for almost a month now.
"My flight was delayed", He said after she stopped kissing him.
"Or you were busy giving your number to all the girls in San Francisco", She was jealous.
Lex laughed and interlocked their fingers. "You're so cute", He said and she blushed.
They went for dinner in the night at a popular restaurant. The food was so expensive and delicious but Eve bore it on her shoulders. She wanted to show off to Lex too that she was rich.
Lex began to laugh when she took out one of his black cards.
"Don't look at me like that, okay. I love you too", She laughed and paid for it. She had stolen one of his cards too after Caro had advised her to do so.
Lex watched Eve from the corner of his eyes. He can't understand the reason for her hyper-happiness at his return. He loves it though but she was so happy. Was she that lonely all those while?
But they usually talk on FaceTime and he sends her endless gifts. She sends him gifts too. He even bought her a teddy on his way back from San Francisco. She had kicked the teddy that evening in anger after telling her to give him a little space.
He said a little space but she went ahead to stay in the garden alone for ten minutes in the darkness. Lex was worried and found her curled up on the grass.
"Evelyn?", He called with a frown.
"You told me to give you some space", She pouted. He placed his index and middle finger on his temple and clicked his tongue.
"You don't understand. I needed the space but-"
"What space do you need from me? Your girlfriend, huh?", Eve asked and pouted.
"I-"
"Are you cheating on me, Lex?", She asked him and he looked at her in shock.
"You are, right?", Eve teased him.
"Are you crazy?", Lex asked her and she pushed him away before walking away.
Lex walked into the bedroom but couldn't find her there. He walked into his library to read some books till he was sleepy. He couldn't even manage to read because his mind kept going to Eve.
He kept imagining some naughty scenes in his mind and took a deep breath. He touched his bulge that was beginning to form in his pant and heaved a sigh.
"Alexius", Eve was standing by the door in her nightie.
Lex raised his head to look at her. His dick stood up in attention and he cursed.
"I'm sorry", She apologized and began to come closer to him.
"Stay away!", He raised his voice. He could see her naked body because the nightie was a transparent one.
"Lex", She called in a sweet voice and ignored his warning.
Lex closed his eyes and began to get his dick to be normal but failed. Why the hell was it still up?
"I'm horny", He heard Eve say and widened his eyes.
She began to slid her nightie down her hips to reveal her naked body. Lex gulped as he stared at the definition of 'perfection' in front of him.
"I'm hard", Eve moaned and squeezed her big boobs.
"You look tensed. What's the matter? You've seen me naked before", Eve sat on his laps and felt his dick poke her.
She looked at him and smiled. He looked at her and scratched his head in embarrassment. She got on her knees and unzipped his pants slowly. She took out his dick from his underwear and watched it spring out with ease.
"Oh my! It's…big", She said with surprise.
Pleasure was written all over Lex's face when Eve put the tip of his dick into her mouth. He rubbed her head like his pet and stared at her with love.
"Am I doing it right?", Eve asked after cutting him short.
"Yes baby. Go on", The pleasure returned and Lex kept moaning with very lick and suck Eve gave his dick.
She began to suck faster and began to fuck his dick with her mouth.
"What the-"
He looked at her with total surprise and asked, "Am I the first you're doing his to?"
"Yes", Eve replied and saw him smile widely.
"Were you about to get jealous?", She asked him and he nodded.
She continued to suck and please him with her tongue before he pulled her up.
He carried her in his arms and took her to th bedroom they normally share if they were in a mood. Lol!
Eve watched his unbutton his shirt one after the other till he was shirtless.
She traced his small tattoo on his chest with her index finger.
She grabbed his hair when she felt his warm tongue on her boobs. Her nipples were so fucked! He began to flick the other as his mouth got busy with one.
The warm sensation got Eve wet in seconds. She kept moving on the bed while Lex worked his magic with his sexy tongue. He continued to please her with his tongue on her boobs for more than five minutes before Eve asked to touch his dick.
"Isn't it heavy?", Eve asked and he laughed.
"You wanna keep it safe. You have to give me a gift in nine months if you want that", He said andEve laughed.
"Please spread your legs for me, my love", Lex kissed her and began to penetrate in her wet pussy carefully.
"Fuck! You're so tight. This is gonna hurt a lil bit", He said and she nodded.
He stroke her face and added, "Tell me if you want me to stop"
Eve nodded but never told him to stop. All she did was bore her nails into his back as he went deeper and deeper. She cried when he was fully in.
"You're so big", She cried out.
Lex cleaned her tears and began to move at a slow pace. She told him to move faster and he answered.
He began to move faster and faster while she called out his name throughout the night. They continued to make love till they were both exhausted.
