N'DJAMENA, CHAD.

"Why not come with me to Nigeria? At least I will get that I have a family I can call my own?" Suhayr proposed rendering the other occupants of the room quite, stunned and speechless.

"You are going to Nigeria?" Was Urshia and Thuraiya's question since they don't know about her flight that leaves in five hours. She wanted to tell them before Urshia burst out earlier and now it came as a shocker.

If one doesn't understand and experience the difficulty it takes to earn the comfort provided by their loved ones, than they will never value it. The most important thing is to experience the difficulty and learn to value hard work behind all the given comfort. Some might think she likes being lonely but nobody likes that even with disorders. She wants to have family and only these females in front of her are all she has left, they are her treasure.

Life is all about making priorities, and family is one and only priority on top of all other, so spend all time you can with loved ones.

She's thought about bringing them with her for a few days knowing how much Nigerians value their family and if she goes there without one, she will be taunted and will be forced to do what she doesn't want to. At first, she is going to act all kind waiting to see who is ready to strike her and who she should strike before they do but for then, she will help Sa'eed act nice. She hates being nice, people always take advantage of you if you are nice which is a no no to her.

Zilch problem she has with rude people cause they are only being truthful, the truth people don't want that is when you get categorized as rude. She knew how royalty is, they will strike her but if it is not huge enough to leave a scar, she won't retort. Her mother taught her not to strike if she knows she could easily take down the opponent but if the opponent is strong enough to take her down, then by no chance should she let go of her chance to take them down.

There is nothing Suhayr values more than her foster mother's words, she values each moment spent with her. She is not cold hearted even though she is a bitch, she has feelings which she hates acknowledging as they render her helpless. Whenever she thought about being an orphan, she feels like the world is cruel and as soon as you start getting comfortable in it, something is going to be ripped away just like roses. When you get comfortable touching them, you will feel the pricks and it will hurt you bad since it wasn't expected.

She also loves taking charge of everything, she wants to be the boss at the top of everyone which she clearly won't get from the royalties. There is this ego all royals have that will make you feel small just like how Sa'eed made her feel when he walked through the doors of her company. His presence swallowed all her pride and thankfully, she didn't let her ego wander off unnecessary and use it just the way she should. She has hit the jackpot, no one can bring her down now, she is royalty.

If she takes them now with her, surely her rich husband could afford taking care of them in the Palace, right? They are only three, no problem there right? She will blackmail him somehow if he dare refuse to let them come with her, she can't leave them there knowing they could be thrown in the streets without money always thinking how to get more meal in their kitchen. This is her chance to help them like they did her when her mother died, she will help them.

Besides, they are her only family now. She never had one and now that she has, she will try her best to keep the tree growing. Aunt Urshia never made her feel uncomfortable around them, they are all like her children. Suhayr is the one who didn't want to give her a chance of becoming a mother, it's a space she can't share with anyone. She never showed her mother how much she loved her but she did, she has different ways of showing it.

"Yes, Aunt. He is a Nigerian and is needed back home for the traditions that takes place there in all marriages. Something about his grandmother." She explained kicking her legs slowly all the while having another thoughts ensnaring in her head.

Can he book flights for them in short notice? He told her he came with chopper which means it can't take so much of them inside now they need to think of something else cause she ain't leaving without her family with her. She won't stand like a statue in front of his family while they look at her like a nagging gum underneath their feet. She might snap and make a very bad first impression, she doesn't care though. She only needs her space in the royal family and then she will open her wings of trouble.

She could easily search him up in google and find out about his family but she won't, she wants to be surprised when she gets there. Furthermore, she don't want to waste her time thinking who is good and who is bad. That would have to wait until she meets them then she can judge them all.

"We can't just pack and go to Nigeria with you, Suhayr. This is your marital home, bringing your family will be looked down upon don't you know? I don't know why but Nigerians don't like that so just go and don't worry about us, we will find something." Urshia forced a smile to her stressed face, she is one beautiful woman.

"No, I can't leave you guys here knowing you might be thrown out to streets with no money to tend to your needs. Just come with me, he is rich so I don't think he will have any problem with this. And don't you know I don't care what they think about me? You know I won't give a damn if they will whisper behind my back, that is if I won't hear them." She added the last words with a mischievous glint in her eyes which the other occupants of the room understand well.

She broke a girl's nose when she said her shoes are dirty, it was an honest mistake since she only wanted to slap her but her fingers curled and she ended up punching her straight in the nose then got suspended for two weeks to tend to her bruised knuckles. They couldn't just expel her from the school because of fake 'connections' Suhayr claims to have.

"Suhayr, you don't understand. This time it is about our pride too, they will surely look down on us." Urshia further explained grabbing Suhayr's attention. When she saw the defiance in it same as the one her best friend always has when she is not ready to back out, she surrendered.

Suhayr is surely her mother's daughter.

"Keep the pride aside for now please. I will find something if you are not comfortable there. Now start packing while I go do the same." She grinned at them discretely trying to make her way to the door without getting their attention so as to not prolong the argument.

"What about Mr. Mas'oud's money?" Urshia asked from behind her, she didn't thought about it.

"Why don't we leave the furniture for him to sell and get the money from them. It will be enough right?" She inclined her head to the side in thought, it should be.

There are beds in the house, good ones from finest oak, there are fine couches too and some kitchen wares they would want to leave there so it should be enough.

"Yeah, it should be." Urshia nodded her head so Suhayr immediately left not willing to talk to Tasneem about the matter. Her mother should handle her with this.

Sa'eed pace the ground waiting for his pilot to call him but he hadn't, they only have two hours left. His grandmother has been pestering him about coming back immediately before four in the evening when the event will start. Suhayr also left and isn't back till then, he won't worry about her for now but his pilot should really call him or he fires him. The whole royal family have one private plane they share and he bought his with his first millions, it has always been his dream since he is a part time pilot himself.

He also travels a lot and loves exploring the countries, he could just wake up one day and decide to go to this country then he will leave. His private plane is his privacy so he don't understand why the darn pilot is taking his fucking time to come get him. Just a phone call might be enough to know he will be there when he needs him.

"Calm down and help your wife pack. We still have two hours before then, be quick." Mu'adh taunted from behind him trying to coax out a reaction from him.

"I won't help her pack, stop talking nonsense. If that pilot don't call me in three minutes, I'm going to fire him." As soon as he closed his mouth, his phone rang in his hands the caller ID saying pilot in broad letters.

"God just saved you from losing your job right now. What were you doing since?" He barked into the phone, not at all giving the pilot time to even greet him.

"Good morning, Sir. His Royal Majesty wanted to leave the country for the day but something stopped him that is why. I'm sorry." The pilot explained in a hurry so that his boss won't cut his breath and say he is fired.

"Where was he going?" Now he is curious as to why his grandfather wanted to leave the country just for the day. Had he heard about his stunt and wants to leave before he arrives? God no!

"Something about strengthening alliance in Ghana, Sir." He further explained, happy that the topic is off his lateness calling, "We will be on our way now, Sir." Sa'eed muttered a simple sure and hang up the phone to let out a sigh of relief.

"Who was leaving the Castle?" Mu'adh fastidiously ask from the breakfast table where he continue stuffing his mouth with the leftover pizza he just microwaved.

"Grand papa."

They've both taken a bath earlier and are dressed to go back home in their finest suits. He can't go back looking horrible or his grandmother would want to have his head, she will call so many media to see the wedding of her 'first grandson' as she put it. She's always talked about his wedding so it surprised him that she didn't talk about punishment hearing he's gotten married without her consent.

"I'm back, come help me pack." He heard Suhayr's voice from the door instantly ruining his mood, not that he was in the best of moods.

"Who are you referring to?" He raised a brow at her stupid words. Is she asking him to help her pack? Has she gotten her head hit outside just an hour ago? She can't expect him to help her pack when he doesn't pack his own clothes.

"I have matters to talk to you about, don't act all conceited with me now." She gritted out totally hating his arrogance at that time. She needs favour so she won't insult him for now but she is going to make him pay for every time he made her bow down before him.

He followed her seeing the seriousness in her words and hopes it is not another problem that she has caused. She is always up to something that riles him up or cause him more trouble back at home with his parents and grandparents. He hadn't even solved that problem, it is still pending in his grandfather's long list in an old scroll. His problem is his grandparents now and not his parents, they are the least of his problems now. If his grandparents approve of it, everything else will be easy.

"My family are coming with us and they want to live with me there." She dropped the bomb, never hitting around the bush.

"How many are they?" He scrunched his brows trying to get the fact that she has family. It is said that she lives alone and nothing about her family except her mother who she said is dead.

God, this girl is full of mystery and everyday he gets to unravel more and more of her which is known to public but not her. There are more to her than meets the eye, she is too much for one person to tame. Either she create problems or drop bombs all the time they get to talk, it is the reason why he avoids having conversations with her or about her. It leads to somewhere he doesn't want to be, she is danger.

"There are three of them and all female. I hope they can get place to live there 'cause they don't want me in a foreign place alone." She further explained with a teeny weeny bit of lie to have their pride intact. She can't tell him that they couldn't pay their rent and will be on the streets if she leaves them alone.

"We can arrange something. Do they have their passports and have they arranged everything? My pilot will be here in two hours." He left the room to tell Mu'adh about the new arrangement she came up with. At least, this he is not another problem she created.

"She has family too? All females? Woah!" Mu'adh's reaction after he broke the news to him, the drama king.

"Can you call up grand mama for me through your phone? I don't want to call her with mine, she said she won't pick it." He sighed sitting back on the comfy couch. It is more comfortable than it's owner, no surprise there.

"Grand mama, we are coming with their family and they want to live with us. They can't leave her alone in a foreign country so please help arrange a Chamber for them." He unfolded anxiously awaiting her reply because she sounds busy he is surprised she bother taking her phone. Maybe Jakadiya forced her into taking it seeing the name.

"You have a lot to pay, dear." That is all she said before she hang up the phone making his shoulder sag. He will surely pay for it, he could feel it in his bones.
