[b]Episode 8
The King had this livid look over his face after Val walked out on him. He felt it was insolent of him to have dismissed himself out of his own will. But the ashen look on his daughter's face got him repressed, and made him more concern of her.
Arewa was crying and grizzling like a brat. While the King and Val's father tried to serenade her to calm down. Forcing out assurance to her that Val would come back to her no matter what.
Even though Arewa never seemed to be conciliated by all they said to her, but she still hovered hope on them. At least as far as royalty is concerned, Arewa's beliefs was that she could have Val by all means. Her money and power would garner to her the unfeigned love she craved for from Val.
But how possible it is for money to buy true love ?
"Mr Michael" The King called out.
"Your highness" Val's father voiced out with an air quirkiness hanging loosely on his face. Seeing his doltish son sticking to their poverty-stricken life in preference to the good life the King has for them had really dealt him a great blow. And he was sure he would let out his large dosage of brimstone on him when he gets home.
He remembered he said he was in love with another person; a statement that got him peeved to think if any love or whatsoever is considering at all when luxuries is involved ? Definitely, his son is stupid and probably a bastard for his shallow wit that made him preferred poverty to a good life.
"How are you going to deliver your son to my daughter. ?"the King grinned out like an puerile with fret appearing on his face. Whatever the self-disgust attitude he imbibed just because he needed to placate his lovesick daughter could hold on. For right now, he could reduce to anything just to make sure he garners that love his only daughter desired.
"Fine have decided to go ahead and present to you everything i intend to give you now.. But i just need a promise from you that your son will eventually end up being my daughter's man"
"Very well My King.. I thank you so much for this your act of benevolence." He started feeling stunned the King could still go ahead to gift him all her promised. Now, his days of indigence are over. Michael felt happiness engulfing through him.
"You should trust that i will do everything within my power to change my son's opinion .. And my King, kindly Forgive him his insolent and childishness attitude he displayed here just now. But i promise my King that i will do everything within my power to make sure he succumbs to our wish." Michael said failing outright to conceal his felicity on the mouth-watery gift the King still retained for them.
"Mr Michael.. We now have an agreement. And i think have fulfilled my own part of the agreement by giving you all these., please dont make it hard for you to fulfill yours.. Please i hate to see my daughter like this. Have never denied her anything before and i don't want to start now. I want her to have anything she longs for." The King further explained in aura that seemed more like a begging to a command while Michael only nodded rapidly in high morale.
"My King you can trust me.. Val my son is for your Daughter" Michael confirmed again to solaced the King and Arewa's mind.

So having received the disburse from the King, and had started living to reality the opulence life he dreamt off. Michael was determined to coerce his son at all length he could to make sure he gets engaged to Arewa.
Even though Val had remained obstinate in giving in for his father wish, still he hadn't gotten any headway with Charity. He trailed on Charity everyday while also, trying his best to convince her how much he loved her and how life would be so mussy if she wasn't there. But instead of Charity reciprocating, she would always shun him with a taut face.
It was true Charity love him too. As a matter of fact the enamoredness was mutual. And Val couldn't have loved Charity more than she did, because she loved Val so much. But, she just couldn't be with him. Loving and being with Val was like a forbidden fruit and toxicant to him so she had decided to stave him off to save him his life.
So many times, she had bemoaned her ordeal. And the remembrance that she would soon be engaged to some two deities that had never relented and even fawned to be with her had always made her to curse her natal day. Sometimes, she threw blames on her mother. For letting all of these happened, for turning her life to a smirch, for making her a celibacy. A life she so much hated with passion.
She wanted to fall in love and also be with the person. But now, she was in unbearable pain of loving the only person she can be with. She so much love Val right now,. Loving and being with him was like a toxin to the soul.

Val on his own was getting hurt day after day, and his countenance was chopfallen and lustreless. He was not ready to accept the reality that the girl in the world that made him bled in love was not ready to heal him up. And he could even testify how wrenching it was to love someone who would never be with you.
So after so many sleeveless attempts to win Charity's love. Val decided to debark and lurk a little for a better plan. More so, he just needed to free himself from the folie he was entangled with.
Val was dressed to prink one afternoon, and was about climbing his Murano jeep. A vehicle his father gave him as a tip to concur to his request. Michael had gone to the extent of telling his son to play a pseud and profess love for Arewa. At least for the main time, and probably that could trigger up a real genuine love for her. And since Val hadn't gotten any lebensraum with Charity. He had concurred.
Val saw the gate to their new mansion rammed opened and a Limousine, obviously conveying Arewa slithered inside their compound. Val watched as the grandiloquent Princess pranced towards him. And immediately, it happened like he was in mirage as Arewa knelt down before him an started weeping like a toddler.
"Baby.. Help! Help me!! Don't let me die. I'm dying of your love. Baby plss. Don't let me die! All i want is your love.. All i need is you.. All i ever wanted is being with you.. Plss don't deny me of this. I know it's crazy coming to this length to beg for your love.. I know i have lost my pride but mind at peace because i will lost them because of you.. I need the taste of your love... VAL! remember when a princess begs. Remember when a princess says please.. Then she is dying., pls dont let me die" Arewa poured out in steam of hot tears making Val rue. He was cognizant of the pain Arewa must be going through. Leastways it was something he had tasted also and could testify the it was gut wrenching..
Maybe its high time he accepted the truth and faced reality. Since Charity had decided to remain contrarious to him, then he would sail his love boat to Arewa. Arewa loved him and then he would try to grow up the reciprocal.
"Princess.. Stand up" Val pulled Arewa who was still on her knees.
"I know you love.. And i promise to love you too. I will" He said as he effaced the blistery tears from her eyes..
"Baby Are you sure?" Arewa snivelled out ..
"Yes. I will " he spieled as the she drew him closer and they both engaged in a snuggle..
"I thought you said you love me ?.." Val heard the a forlorn voice and was sure it wasn't from Arewa. He looked up to check where the voice came and alas it came from a dolour figure of the Angel tormenting his heart. His angel, Charity..
