The One To Tame The Prince

Chapter 11

Three days later,

—TYLER—

She refused to talk to me not even a word.

But I’m happy she’s here, I just have to show how sorry I am.

She doesn’t come out of her room and whenever I give her food, she eats it almost immediately before I leave the room.

Does she know she’s pregnant?

Gosh, she’s now a prisoner in her own room.

If only I had listened to her and try to understand her.

I reflected back to what the detective had said.

“Do you mind trading places with me or trading wives?

“I love your wife, she’s what I can call a perfection”

“your wife is a role model to others. Her name is being plastered everywhere especially with her speech

” Everything has been your wife’s doing. She has been doing it all in your name. No woman would want to do that, instead she’ll want the fame for herself. My wife already took her as a role model.”

“please don’t stop loving your wife. She’s truly one in a million and the best one could ever ask for. It’ll be bad if you make her cry. She’s precious”

“I don’t think she’s mine to keep because she’ll never forgive me”.

I took my car key and drove out, heading to the address I received on my phone.

“Hey! How you? What brings you over?”

“Hi, you’re going with me to apologise to my wife” I replied

“Why would I?”

“Because everything you said was wrong, why did you lie?”

“Who wouldn’t want to trade places with your wife” she rolled her eyes.

“Even if she had left, I still wouldn’t choose you”

“Well even if you didn’t choose me, you would choose another woman who doesn’t deem herself perfect like your wife so that’s enough”

“Now I know you’re crazy, you’re going to apologize to her or yours beloved brother dies right now, you get tired in your workplace and I’ll get you sued”

Her face became pale and white as sheet

“You’re joking right?”

“No I’m not” I said matter-of-factedly ” Now I’m at a point where I don’t care anymore, you made me something unforgivable”

“I hope she leaves you soon then” she grinned

“Are you going with me or not?” I raised an eyebrow

“Fine let’s go”

My phone rang,

📞”Yes mum?”

📞”No greetings” mum scoffed over the phone “so you still want her or not?

📞” Don’t worry about us mum”

📞”Really?” She squealed over the phone “I knew I chose the right girl for you, she has a very big and generous heart and at the same time daring and bold. I’ll come sometime to see you”

📞”No mum” I replied quickly “we’ll come over instead, I promise”

📞”Okay” she hung up happily

“Your mother likes her?” The girl asked

I glared at her and led the way out.

Just outside her room, I heard Allison’s phone ring and decided to wait for her to answer her call before going in.

📞”Mumm… I’m fine” I heard her say

📞 “Yes, he’s good too”

📞”We’ve decided to stay a little longer for now and get to each other even better”

📞”Yeah no worries, I’m sure”

📞 “I’ll come home very soon, prepare my room”

📞 “No I’m not sick, just tired”

📞”Bye, I love you too”

I knocked and opened the door gently.

“Can I come in?” I asked

She looked at me pointedly, I took that as a yes and ushered myself and the girl in,side.

She looked at the girl and glanced away happily.

I glared at the girl, signalling she starts talking.

“I’m sorry Mrs Allison, I said really bad things about you to your husband, I painted you as a gold digger and a cheat. I told him all about the bad rumors I heard because you know why? She acting a little too perfect for my liking and I wouldn’t mind trading places with you. So if you’re angry with your husband, forgive him and leave your position to me. I’ll do well with it” the girl said with a rush and ran outside.

“You’re so dead” I shouted after her.

No expression was on Allison’s face, I don’t know what she’s thinking.

She took a book and pen and wrote gently on the paper then showed it to me

“She said things but she didn’t make you do it. That was your decision to make and you choose to do it” she wrote on the paper and threw it away.

“I want a divorce after childbirth, I can’t bear you”

“Please give me till then to make things right” I knelt down by her side ” I’ll never hurt you again. Give me a second chance till you give birth before you decide you want a divorce. I don’t want to lose you please”

She gave a subtle nod.

Chapter 12

—ALLISON—

“G©sh! I feel so special. Tyler treats me like a princess”

“He doesn’t allow me do anything at all, he’s now an expert in cooking”

“First the first few months though, whenever he touches me, I revulse at his touch. The hurt that clouds his face after pierce through my very soul but there was nothing I could do about it. It had become an involuntary action for me.”

“With time, I stopped revulsing at his touch and learnt to see past the rough hands that gripped me to feel the gentle hands begging to be forgiven.”

I gently trailed my fingers on my big stomach.

I am due to give birth next week.

“Tyler has shown he’ll be a good father” I said to my baby girl

She kicked in response.

The day Tyler went for a scan to check the gender of our baby, he was so happy it was a baby girl.

I’ve never seen a man being so happy he’s having a female child.

He even made me eat ice cream to celebrate the baby.

We always have a date every Fridays.

We start the Fridays by going to an elite restaurant where it’ll just be both of us in the room for privacy.

Then we go to a private beach where we spend the night in looking at the moon and stars. Most times, I catch him staring at me instead.

At times we start the Friday with a long drive with no destination, just enjoying the blowing wind and the feelings of being free from the world and we’d spend the night in a five star hotel. We’d sleep in the same room but different beds.

I haven’t heard anything about his s€× escapades in a while.

Guess he stopped or maybe because he’s busy with me, he hasn’t got the time.

Now he works from home, he dedicated spending a year with me at home. He only goes to the company once in a while. He left things in care of Jerry, his personal assistant, and he’s doing a very good job.

I think I made a good decision of giving him a second chance.

The nod I gave in response means a lot to him.

A nurse told me while I was in the hospital that he cries every time I’m asleep.

She said she’s has never seen a guy cry that way especially a reputable.

“Since I’m in a VIP ward, he would want to fake tears for something like this to happen” I replied

” Something like what? ” She had asked “me telling you he cries? I don’t think he fakes it because when he hears footsteps, he cleans his eyes instantly”

I huffed and turned away from her.

” Mr Tyler loves you and a lot a women are dying to be in your shoes”

“Are you one?” I asked

” No” she laughed “I’m happily married” she replied “just telling you though” she added and left me thinking

” Is what she said true?”

Then I saw the signs myself, his eyes was always red and puffy whenever I catch him staring at me through the upper part of the door which had glass.

He was lean and his clothes didn’t seem to fit him anymore. He didn’t look his confident self.

So when he knelt down and asked for a second chance, I decided to give it to him.

Though it was a very hærd decision, I spent days thinking if what I did was right or if I should have just disagreed and gone with the divorce after childbirth.

But ever since, I haven’t regretted the decision.

I got to see a sweet charming side of him, the gentle and listening side, the caring and generous side.

He continued reaching out for me to helpless people and orphanage homes.

He acts like my prince charming.

I haven’t gotten time to meet my best friend, the dog, I do hear her whine.

Tyler told me she stopped eating regularly because of me.

When he told her I was fine now, she started eating every day but not regularly.

At times when she sees her food, she turns her back to it and sits down.

She still barks angrily at Tyler though, she didn’t stop the habit.

A month after the wh-re ran out of our house, I heard in the news that she killed herself because of the insults she was received from people both home and abroad.

The media somehow got wind of some of the things that happened and said that she tried destroying my marriage and even gave herself cheaply to a married man.

I think the insults got so much and vile that she had to kill herself.

I kinda feel sorry for her.

Every week, Tyler and I got to the market to buy food stuffs.

That was the only thing he agreed me doing. He wouldn’t let me do anything.

Even to go to the bathroom, he makes me use a wheelchair.

I’m supposed to be exercising!!!

During one of our trips to the market, the media caught sight of us.

The following day, the headlines said “See Tyler and Allison shopping like any other normal couple in a market”

Tyler had laughed when he was the story especially at a picture where he had shown me a raw meat, asking me to eat since it was once my favourite.

I had hid my face in hair to keep him from seeing my smiling face.

Every night also before sleeping, he ksses me goodnight on my forehead and ksses my stomach.

Then every morning, he ksses my cheeks and bring breakfast for me.

I eat breakfast in bed.

Every woman’s dream when she’s pregnant.

We argue over names for the baby.

I want to name her Emma while he wants to name her Mulan after a Disney movie.

Why would my baby be named after a disney movie!!?

But he wouldn’t hear any of it so I don’t bring up suggesting names for the child.

Let me give birth first.

I haven’t seen my baby’s face well except in the scan and I love her so much already.

I drop the book I was trying to read and laid down to sleep.

—TYLER—

These pasts months have been hectic and at the same time exciting.

As an expectant father, I’m so excited to see my baby.

I already decorated my baby’s room, the colour of the room is pink.

It has different toys, she has her dressing mirror, her closet is filled with clothes.

I go to the boutique almost everytime to buy clothes as I am in one now.

I have five shopping bags filled already.

Allison is always fighting over the name I chose for the baby.

I don’t know why she’s so against the name.

I mean what’s wrong with Mulan.

Mulan is a courageous girl and I want my baby to be like her too.

Why can’t she see Mulan is a suitable name.

I finished my shopping and got in my car to drive home.

I had relieved my driver from his work since the incident.

I want to do the driving myself and every other thing

I had taken cooking lesson so that I can give Allison and my girl the best.

She’s due to give birth next week more of a reason I don’t allow her to come down from lunch and dinner anymore.

She needs to save all of her strength.

After the childbirth, I have a surprise for her.

I can’t imagine the expression that can would be on her face when she sees it.

I got home and came down from the car with the shopping bags.

I dropped them in Mulan’s room before going to Allison’s.

I found her sleeping.

She stirred and woke up, maybe she felt my presence.

I kssed her cheeks”I’m home”

She narrowed her eyes at me, “who are you?”

I was taken aback by the question “what do you mean?”

She sat up, suddenly alert and covered her stomach protectively “who are you?”
