Surprise Blow

  "Oh… what is wrong with him?, I thought he likes me. Turning away when am trying to reciprocate his smile? What an asshole?. " she murmured and her mind went back to the Prince.

Helen was deep in thought on how best to kidnapping the Prince when she felt a hand tap her. "Huh!", She looked up and it was   him.

The handsome guy who was sitting on the other end and smiling at her is now standing, towering over her and smiling so beautiful.

 Exposing those white sets of teeth. Helen thought he was too handsome, but what was that to her?, She is going on a journey of no return. Who knows what will happen to her?. She smiles back at him.

This guy who is obviously taller than her, handsome, smells good, has curly hairs, his eyes were so beautiful they have a lot of tenderness in it. 

But Helen's eyes fell on his gold rollexs watch. She felt like she could magnetic it into her bag. Her eyes twinkling with imagination.

These are the kind of things she likes to steal, gold wrist watches, expensive jewelries of all kinds, diamonds, crystal stones e t c.

She has a reputation of not missing her target. She has been stealing valuables for so long that she made her boss one of the richest in town.

 But now her boss wants to change the line of business, he's now kidnapping people for money.

"Didn't you hear the announcement?, We are making a stop for an hour. Everyone is going down. You want to come with me?" he offers.

"Huh!….yeah,…. sure" she got up but forgot her little handbag.

"Your bag."

"Oh.. yeah, sorry…. let me get that". She hurried back to get it and he just smile.

He thought Helen was funny, he has been watching her for a long time now and he finds her interesting.

They walk out together but Helen's eyes saw nothing gorgeous about his looks, only money, she wants to steal everything from him, starting from his head to his toes, all her eyes could see are valuables.

 Of course only his head will be spare, even his hairs look expensive. She thought. "This guy looks rich, but what does he want from me?" she asks herself and running her hand through her hairs and smiling at him.

"He must come from a wealthy home," she thought.

"Do you care for coffee?" he asks all of a sudden.

"Huh.., sorry… you say what?" Helen mouth open in amazement.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes.. am fine" she said, still looking at his gold wrist watch.

"You like it?, You've been looking at it for a very long time."

"What?"

"I mean the watch,"

 "Yeah is beautiful hahaha,"

"You can have it,"

“Huh!” Helen looks surprised.

"No…I..I..am just kidding, I mean I like it but….., is okay,"

He smiled and lead the way. They walk together to get a coffee, he hand her one and they sat down to enjoy their cup of coffee but Helen couldn't stop thinking of stealing him as a whole.

"What's your name?"

"Beatrice," she lied, showing him her passport. She never had to use the same name twice when she was on a mission and Beatrice was the name she will be using to work as a maid in the palace in other to kidnap the Prince.

She has many passports bearing different names.

"Hmmm, beautiful name you have there,"

"Thanks. " Helen didn't care about him so she didn't ask his name. All she wanted to do right now is steal everything from him.

"So what does Beatrice do?". The question came as a shock to her. She wasn't expecting that kind of question so she didn't prepare an answer for that.

"What…?"

"What do you do?,"

"Oh…an agent,"

"You mean security government agent?"

"Yeah, kind of, but we are private," she said, trying to think of a way to cut the conversation.

"Oh… is almost time," she said.

"Time for what?"

"Time to leave. " she got up and start moving away from him.

He wanted to stop her but he heard the announcement again. They are boarding another flight to their destination.

So he just followed her back to the plane. He was kind of lost the way Helen behaves. She didn't really look like someone who could afford a first-class ticket but she did.

The flight took off and Helen pretended to be busy reading the newspaper, she didn't want to expose herself. she occasionally stole some glances at him but he wasn't looking at her, he was also busy reading a book.

"Oh.. thank goodness," she breathes a sigh of relief. "Asking too many questions huh…"

They landed and Helen rushed out without looking in his direction.

She waves at the man carrying a piece of paper bearing her name.

"Welcome to Chicago Miss Beatrice." The man greeted Helen.

"Yeah thank you", and for a second Helen forgot that she was Beatrice and her job description was -new maid, but this man brought her memory back.

She entered the car and didn't make any attempt to communicate with the man. The driver hit the road and within thirty minutes of the ride, they came to this huge gate, and the door opened by itself.

"Wow".. Helen was amazed, even though she had seen many fascinating things, she had never seen something this amazing.

Her parents have raised her in a very local part of America and they barely have enough to eat all the time.

 Some nights they go to bed with an empty stomach but the good part of it is that Helen is their only child. So they don't have to worry much about feeding a large family.

Her father would come home every night drunk and hit her mum, while Helen would run away from home to hide from her father.

That is where she finds the boss who raises her and gives her a job to put food on their table. Helen was so amazed at the massive and magnificent building in front of her.

 "We are here Miss Beatrice," the driver said.

"Yes, so where should I go?" Helen asked confused as to which side of the mansion to go to because this mansion was very big and beautiful.

"Go to that door, ring the bell and a man will come out,"

"Ok thanks" She picked up her bag and walked to the door, rang the bell and the doorman came out.

"Welcome Miss Beatrice,"

 "What? you know me?"

"Yes, we've been expecting you, Miss Beatrice, this way,"

She follows the man to a large sitting room where she is introduced to the Queen and King.

"You are welcome to my Palace," the king said, but the queen said nothing and Helen's heart skipped with the look on the queen's face.

"You may leave," was all the king said. With these two sentences from the king and none from the queen, Helen turns to leave but her legs refuse to follow her.

 She saw the guy on the plane walking towards them.

"What!” Helen felt like disappearing. “What the hell is he doing here? She stared at him, hoping that she was dreaming.

"Hey. Beatrice, what are you doing here?" he asks Helen but she seems to have lost her tongue too.

 Seeing how she was staring, he walked past her to greet the queen, who was so happy to see him. He left home for two days on a business trip his father couldn't attend.  But he's back.

"Son, welcome back. How was your trip?"

"Very well, Father."

"And I hope you eat very well," his mother added.

"Yes Mother, I didn't forget your advice to always eat even though we are not hungry" hahaha they laugh.

"And I hope you find a wife too," his mother said.

 "Yes Mum, am still searching,"

"Please give the young man a break, he still has a long time to find a wife," the king interrupted the queen.

"He is not going to be young forever," his mum didn't waste time reminding him how old he was getting.

"Mum, you don't have to worry, I will find you a beautiful daughter-in-law soon". Hahaha, they laughed and he went back to his quarters.

Helen was eventually carried out by the Chief Maid as she noticed Helen wasn't moving when the Prince walked in.
