Let Me Search More
Then Alex sighed, “son, you will be here for one year at least.” Then he smiled.
Chester couldn’t help the tears that streamed down his petite face, he wondered, will no one really come around to save him? Although these place has all the beauties and glories of the world, Chester still felt unhappy cause his family aren’t here.
When Alex saw him crying, he was infuriated, “I told you to stop crying. You are becoming a man.”
Because his voice was loud and since Chester wasn’t used to someone shouting on him, he got down from the chair and began to run away from him.
Alex stood angrily, watching his small legs race away.
Seeing that he was about to cross boundary, he picked up a race to catch up with him. Afterall, although the Maridonna kingdom hosted the Wigglesworth’s family and their officers, they gave them limitations. There are places they must not step their foot on in the kingdom and even in the palace, there are areas none of the Wigglesworth’s family must step foot on.
Before Alex could catch up with Chester, Chester had already passed boundary. His heart skipped for what the ruthless Maridonna people will do to Chester.
Some guards immediately blocked Chester from moving forward, whereas, there was a man seated around that area, receiving fresh air. Seeing Chester, who was clearly from the Wigglesworth’s family trespass boundaries, he stood and walked up to the gaurds. At his signal, the guards took steps back.
Chester looked at this stranger and ran to him, then he held his trouser as if running to him for safety. The soldiers wants to pull Chester away from him but this strange stopped them. At once, this stranger knew that Alex didn’t have a good relationship with Chester.
He looked at Chester and asked, “what is your name?” All these while, Alex was watching with an heavily thumping heart.
He knows the identity of the stranger that Chester was leaning on. He’s the most wicked and ruthless man he has ever known. Sometimes, he wonders if people from Maridonna’s kingdom were human beings, they think and behave differently, they didn’t see killing people like it’s a big deal, they let people who commit crime suffer to death. They don’t have mercy over here and that is why they are regarded as the most secured kingdom in the universe.
The stranger looked at Alex and said, “it’s your responsibility to ensure this boy did not pass boundaries.”
“We were seated together there when he suddenly took off and began to run away. He was already here before I could catch up with him,” Alex explained, “Prince, please forgive me. I’ll be careful next time.”
That stranger was the prince and heir to the throne. The emperor had fifteen sons, each son is born by a different mother. The emperor didn’t let any of his daughter survive, whoever gives birth to a female for him gets killed alongside the baby, in that very instant. To him, he regards only the males as children.
This stranger was the first born and he’s just as ruthless as other sons.
“Because of our cooperation with the Wigglesworth’s family, I’ll let this slide. If it repeats itself, you will die!” He said and held Chester’s hand then he began to walk away with him.
“Prince, may I ask where you are taking him to?” Alex asked.
Prince Guthred ignored him and took Chester away from the scene. Soon, Chester was in his chamber, he made him sit and served him with all sort of children delicacies, from strawberries ice creams to chocolate to pizza and every other delicious food any human can ever think of.
Chester didn’t know why he like this man, he ate and drank to his satisfaction.
Then Prince Guthred took him away from his royal dinning room and placed him on the sofa, “may I know your name?”
“Chester.” Chester was so satisfied that his belly could be seeing protuding like that of a pregnant woman.
“My name is Guthred.”
“Guthred.” Chester chucked. It’s the first time he was hearing that name.
“You don’t like Alex, do you?”
Chester shook his head in response, “he’s an evil man.”
“I see…” Guthred then sat opposite him, “who are you to him?”
“I don’t know him. He kidnapped me.” Chester responded. “Guthred, please take me back to my mommy and my family.”
Prince Guthred wondered why a little child like this would be kidnapped. But he noticed the boy did not make mention of his father.
“Where’s your father?”
“I don’t know him, yet.” Chester responded truthfully.
Prince Guthred sent for an artist and once the artist was present, he asked Chester to describe how his mommy looked like to the artiste. After the artiste was done, Prince Guthred marvelled at the beauty of Chester’s mom.
“Is this really how your mom looks?” He asked Chester.
“Yes, exactly. This is how my mommy look. Please take me to her,” he pleaded.
Prince Guthred dismissed the artist and said to Chester, “Let me find your mommy firstly, then I can reunite you with her.”
“Is that a promise? You will really help me to find my mom?” Chester asked.
Prince Guthred went to him and carried him on his shoulder then went to place him on his bed, “this is my personal bed, sleep.”
Chester didn’t argue, he was already feeling sleepy as a result of the numerous sweet foods he ate so he slept in no time.

Brigitta resumed work on a new day but on getting to her system, she noticed that most of the files on her system have been deleted. They were very important files.
She checked her recycle bin but the files weren’t there yet, infact, she was supposed to print out some of those documents and submit them to HR leader and the marketing team leader. She knew that someone must have tempered on her system but whom should she report to?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Then she stood and went to Otta’s office. “Someone must have tampered on my system. Some very important files seems to have been deleted, “she reported while standing.
“How many people has the password to the system?” Ottar asked.
“Just you and I, sir.”
“What are you insinuating, that I deleted the files on your system?” Ottar asked.
“No, Mr. Ottar. But I’m just surprised the files are deleted.” She answered.
“Should I report this matter to Mr. Ragnar then?” Ottar asked.
“Oh no… No!” She answered. She didn’t want Ragnar to know about this. “Is there not something we can do to recover the file?”
“Have you checked your recycle bin?”
“Yes, sir. It’s not there.”
“You must have mistakenly deleted it. I’m afraid that you may get fired for this.” Ottar said.
Her heart skipped on hearing that, “let me search more.” She quickly walked out.
