Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

ā€œHiā€ Madison greeted with a gentle peck on his cheek.

ā€œhow is my queen today? Hassan forced himself to speak, evading the dampness of his heart.

From his countenance Madison knew something was wrong somewhere. Oh how she wish it wasā€™nt what she was thinking.

ā€œyou donā€™t look happy, everything okay? She asked in her american accent, sheā€™ve spent years in Nigeria, some of the things sheā€™ve not lost to the Nigerian nation are her accent and skin colour.

Hassan couldnā€™t hold it any longer, he just have to tell her whole nine yards.

ā€œmy dad! He had a heart attack today, it was so worst that heā€™d have to be flown out of the country for further treatmentsā€

Madison was gobsmacked, this wasnā€™t what she bargained for, now she know her mum was right when she said she, Madison and hassan werenā€™t meant to be.

ā€œyou know, i canā€™t help but blame myself, its all my faultā€¦.iā€¦..ā€

Madison cut him in.

ā€œno hassan, its not your fault, if there is anyone to blame, that should be me.

Iā€™m just like a pest in your life, ever since we met, iā€™ve caused you nothing but troubleā€¦.iā€™m sorry hassanā€

she summoned the whole energy in her to stop herself from crying. The more she tried, the more rains of tears flood her eyes.

She couldnā€™t break herself to believe she was leaving hassan. Fate can be so cruel sometimes! He was the only one who could draw out genuine smile from the darkest part of her heart, he was the only first and true love she ever experience.

Hassan was confused. ā€œwā€¦.whā€¦.what do you mean? He asked in utter frustration.

ā€œhassan we live in two separate worlds, separated by religion, royalty and race. Our destinies are separated like heaven and earth, we were never meant to take a step from platonic friendshipā€¦.i love you hassan iā€™m sorry we have to end it this wayā€

Hassan rubbed his eyes fiercely no! This canā€™t be happening, it must be some sort of dream.

ā€ no Madison, i canā€™t last a day without you and you know it, please donā€™t leave me.

If you want, we can elope, yes! To a far away country where no one would know us, let alone disturb.ā€

Madison shoke her head in the negative. ā€œiā€™m doing this for you hassan, all for you. Your sick father needs you, the palace need you and your people need. They all need you more than i do. You are a prince i am nothing but a foreigner whoā€™d ruin your life and ambitionā€¦..farewell Hassan.

Hassan held her cheeks with both hands, tears steamed his dark face. The last time he cried like this was when he lost his twin, Hassana. That was eight years ago.

He had learnt to move on, Madison coming into his life was a great help with that.

Heā€™d think Madison was an incarnate of hassana. They both had one thing in common- brightening up his mood.

He canā€™t lose Madison! What would his life be like? Trash, hopeless, frustrated, miserable?

ā€œGood bye hassan, please donā€™t bother looking for me ā€™cause weā€™d be moving out of the country sooner or later. Please remember this, i love you and iā€™ll always doā€ she pecked him on the forehead.

ā€œtake this necklace, itā€™ll remind you of meā€¦.byeā€

she gave him a silver necklace with a pendant made of glass. Inside the glass was a capture of her beautiful self.

Hassan wept to stupor he didnā€™t mind the embarassing fact that he was standing on the round. He wished the earth around him would just queak and swallow him up.

What reason is there to leave when two most important people in his life are gone?

He wiped away his tears with a small oxblood hankie.

Every cloud has a silver lining, its high time he concentrate more on the family he have left; his sick father, aging mother and kid sister.

His father wasnā€™t polygamous as against most rich men from the north.

Hassan admired that and promised himself to stick only to one woman. Woman? He just realised heā€™ve lost the very woman he loved, no other woman can occupy his now shattered heart.

He picked his broken self together and drove back to the palace, what a day!

First he gave his dad a heart attack and now his lover have left him, the joyous hassan in him flew away, he was left with a shattered body and soul to deal with.

Madison and her family left the country a weak later. There in the united states she realised she was pregnant. Sheā€™ve already call it quits with hassan, moreso the pregnancy wouldnā€™t change anything. Her belly grew bigger as the days passed by, nine months later; the glorious period!

She gave birth to a set of identical twins; Michael and Gabriel.

She nutured and showered them with all the love a mother could breed. But something was missing- a father!

Five years afterwards, she fell in love with Spencer sherwood; an afro american.

Their beautiful union brought forth a child- Nathan.

Sherwood died a couple of years later. Leaving Madison to think she wasnā€™t destined to be married.
