THE HEALER - EPISODE 85

Charles scoffed. “This isn’t over yet DREMA, you shall soon hear from me”.

“Oh yes and I know your next step is to run to your mother because you can’t clean up the mess you made” Rema said.
Charles got livid with anger at what Rema just said,if only he knew he had more coming for him.
“When the time comes,we shall know who will sit in the throne though I have no interest in it but now,I have picked an interest in it” Rema told him. “But fighting over a throne isn’t my thing,so I will just wait until when the battle for the throne is over but i can boldly assure you that what you want isn’t yours” rema concluded Charles could only scoff, he knows dragging with Rema in an argument will end up with him being disgraced,he was never a match for him.

His gaze went to the maids and the guards at the hallway who were out of their duties and were listening to their heated conversation. He didn’t need to say a word,only his gaze did the work for him and soon every maids and guards went back to their various duties except for Nina who followed Rema behind quietly.

Charles walked away angrily with his men.

Rema finally turns to Nina with a stony yet handsome face,he looked at her for a brief minute. “Why are you following me?” He asked.

Nina smiled carelessly,she felt as though those words are enough for her.
“Welcome back,younger prince!”
“Am actually following you so i can prepare your suite” she replies.

“I don’t need your help,lady” rema shot her a stare. Nina needs no one to tell her to dismiss immediately.
“I’m sorry,my prince” she curtised but Rema was long gone. He met another set of maids at the front and they formed a single line,boeing to him repeatedly.

Welcome back my prince!
Welcome back,your bath has been prepared.
Your suite is more ravishing as ever,I hope you like it.
You’re right in time,the royal dinning has just been set.

Rema kept on hearing different things,he pretended he didn’t hear them since he didn’t come to stay. He walked past them, ignoring whatever thing they are uttering. He had barely taken few more steps and on reaching the stairs leading to the queens empire, Jewel showed up, a smile spreading across his wrinkled yet attractive face.

“My son has arrived” he uttered inwardly.
“There will surely be a feast tonight and till the next 6days”…

Jewel walked more closer, shame over washed his body and soul. He had taught he had a blind son but Chiamaka made A BILLIONAIRE out of the son he called blind.
Rema is now a scarred billionaire.
He felt so happy he came and at the same time, ashamed. Maybe he is thinking of washing his hands before touching his DREMA. He could feel the aura of gracefulness that hovered around him. Truly, royal blood can never be denied.

A hand to rema’s shoulder, jewel spoke. “My dear son,you finally came back to me”.
Rema swallowed into nothing. He replied him angrily. “That hand remove it. You can’t touch me without my permission” he said,icily and for the first time, Jewel saw a pair of eyes similar to his.

“Jewel,get your hands off me!” Rema stated, more icy.
King jewel moved his hand away.
“Stay away 10metre” Rema added. He wondered why this man plan on spoiling everything for him…he almost spoilt his career now he already ruined his chances to claim Chidinma as his fiancee because of his evil deeds in his past. If there is an afterlife, rema would swear not to be associated with a man like JEWEL.

“I thought you came for me,my son” jewel uttered.
“Yes,I came for you but it’s not yet time for me to talk with you. Lastly, am not your son. My name is DREMA and LUCIEN is my last name. It’s not difficult to grab,right?” Rema stared directly into Jewel’s eyes as he spoke,he won’t allow this man push him around like a bushbaby.

King Jewel could only look back at Rema.
He,king Jewel had indeed been a fool, how on Earth didn’t he notice Rema had the same eye color with him.

“Good,I will take my leave” rema cooled and entered the queens empire,there he will get answers to all he needs to know.

Olive couldn’t believe she spends hdt nights chatting with her new found anonymous friend in a popular dating site.
He is such a cute fella.

“good night,am feeling sleepy already” she texts.
“good night?? It’s morning already” he texts back. Olive glanced at the wall clock, it’s 6am already.
“How time flies? I didn’t get a sleep because of you” she texts.
“I didn’t get one too either” he replied.
“Bye then,I need to prepare for work” she replied.
“Pick my video call,okay* he texts back.

Olive’s heart jumped into her chest. She dropped her phone and rushed to the front of her oval mirror.
“Do I look good enough?”
“What if he finds me ugly?”
“Jeeeeezzz,am I beautiful?”.
“Well,I think I need this”
She was about applying the lips gloss when her phone rang
“Am I beautiful enough?” Her hands trembled a bit as she picked the video call
Her anonymous is more handsome than she thought,he is so so gorgeous.
“Are you done staring?” He asks and olive jolts out if her trances.
“Ohh….Am…so….you ..” she couldn’t believe she stammered.

“Can I ask you something?” He asked, the camera showed part of his room.
*Ohh no,he’s wealthy*
“Do I even have a choice…”olive picked her words carefully
“Who do you love the most in the world…?” He asked.
“Easy……”myself” I love myself the most” olive replied.
“Of course you do” he replied.
“What’s your boyfriend name? You didn’t answer me for close to ten times now?”..

“It’s Ethan” she replied.

“Ethannnnn is he in this country?” He asked.
Olive let out a short smile. “He….he…. travelled out for business”
“He is always Faraway” she stated properly..

“He is always Faraway?? And what does a Faraway guy do you deserve you?” He asked.

“He….issss…nice to me” olive replied, even a blind person could tell the compliment was a fake.

“Nice to you??”
“Isn’t that just another word for boring”

“Can you just talk about him! Olive half yelled, she lost her emotions and hung up. She never wanted to think about Ethan ever again.
Ethan was her pain. Her sufferings.
He defiled her in the most cruel and horrible ways. Well it’s a part of her she always hide. Only Chidinma knows about her tiny little secret.
Hey,am sorry if that hurts you…
It’s never an intention to hurt you…
I just wondered why you don’t want to tell me things about you!!! Her anonymous messaged her.

It will be fine,if you stop messaging me. Bye,the time spent with you was worth while” olive replied.
She used the tissue on her face, she smiled out tears as she checked out Ethan’s Instagram handle.
“Dear Ethan,just pray I never make it in life because if I do,you will kiss my foot and beg me for forgiveness”
Olive let go and disposed the used tissue. She washed her face in the bathroom and brushed her teeth.
She sat on her working table and checked her laptop to review her schedule, she have only four filming to do at the studio. She helped Chidinma to check her mail as well. She wasn’t so surprised Chidinma got more modeling endorsement..

She checked the group chat,the group was really heated…and they were dragging Chidinma negatively in the group chat. Olive need no one to tell her it’s Nora’s handwork.
She’s a Stark illiterate..
Am telling you,she is only an opportunist.
She wants to use a billionaire celebrity to trend….
Pictures of her when she was still Hawking groundnut surfaced the group.
Netizens are really attacking her. Olive had read enough,she dropped her phone and went to bath. She doesn’t take much time,she was done within minutes.
She pack her bag and picked the car key,Chidinma must have been waiting for her.

She got downstairs and was surprised she didn’t meet her downstairs.
“Chidinma!!!” She barged into her room and was surprised to see her still sleeping peacefully.
*By this time*
“Chidinma,wake up do you know what the time is” olive asked.
“Oh my god,is it morning already? I feel like sleeping more” Chidinma tossed on the bed lazily.
Olive dropped her bag and placed her hands on her hips in bewilderment.
This girl has never been this lady,the Chidinma she knows is always hardworking,she even wakes up first.

“Give me 30more minutes,I need to sleep more, Olive!!”she uttered sleepily.
“30 what!!! You first shoot is by 7am, Chidinma” olive said but Chidinma was already deep in sleep.
Olive grinned and carried the bottle water on her bedside.
“Am sorry to do these honey” she smiled as she poured the water on chidinma’s face. Chidinma sprang up immediately. “Jeez what just happened,did water pour on me”.
Olive who already hide the table water shook her head. “No,I think you are dreaming” she replied.

“Must really be a dream,I will go get ready” Chidinma replied. She let go of her teady and crawl out of the bed.

Chidinma closed the glassy door behind her, luckily she remembered the pregnancy test kit. She brought out with her other free hand as she washed her face with the other.
“Pee, first” she said and she did.
“Ohh god,I need a miracle….I’m not even asking for two babies,just one is enough eeehhn chai, I want a good news oo” she muttered as she waited for the paper to change.

Two lines means positive,why is the paper not even changing. She threw it away and tried another one.
“Please change,I beg of you” she uttered like crazily and it did change.
She couldn’t contain her happiness.
“Olive!!!! Olive!!! She screamed like she won a lottery.
She rushed out of her exotic bathroom, with the paper.
“What happened?”
“Olive!! Olive….I….I….I…” Over happiness didn’t allow her talk,so she just flunt the kit to her eyes.
“I have a baby in me,I have Rema’s child” . She screamed.
“Oh my god!” Olive smiled, they both did an high five. It was interupted by a knock at the door.

“Come in” Chidinma said.
“It’s the maid madam,your dad request your presence” she delivered.
“What?” Chidinma gasped, last night incident came flooding in her memory. Her father told her to choose between him and Rema.
Ohh my god,what is she going to do? Her father or the father of her child?.
