As they drove, Diva tried to start a conversation, but Nathan wasn't paying attention. Instead, he secretly glanced at Mia in the backseat, noticing the fear in her eyes and her discomfort.
Diva continued talking, oblivious to Nathan's distraction. When their eyes met, Mia quickly turned her face to the window.
Then, her cell phone rang. Mia hurriedly searched her bag and saw it was Naomi calling. She picked up, speaking quietly to avoid interrupting Diva.
"Hello, big sis," Mia said.
Naomi's voice came from the other end, "Goodness, Mia, where did you keep your phone?"
"I didn't know it was ringing. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's okay, where are you? How did you get home last night?"
Before Mia could respond, Diva interrupted,
"Can you turn that off? You're interrupting me."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness," she apologized, and returned to the phone. "Big sis, can I call you back?"
"Where are you? Was that Princess Diva?" She asked.
"Yes, I'll talk to you later."
"Wait, are you okay?" Naomi asked.
" Yes" Mia quickly hung up. " I'm sorry." She apologize.
Diva's behavior didn't go unnoticed by Nathan.
"That was rude, Diva. You know she was on the phone, the best you can do is wait for her to finish talking on the phone and not interrupt her rudely like that." Nathan said, his tone slightly disapproving.
"She was the one who was rude. She knows I was having a moment with you, and she had to interrupt us."Diva frowned,
Nathan sighed tiredly at her.
"I am sorry, it won't happen again."Mia apologized again.
"Stop apologizing, you did nothing wrong." Nathan's response was immediate, Diva's eyes widened in surprise at Nathan's words.
They arrived at the palace gate, and Nathan stopped the car. Mia quickly got out and knocked on the gate. When it opened, she rushed in without looking back, leaving Nathan to sigh.
"Thanks for bringing me home," Diva said, smiling.
"You're welcome," Nathan replied firmly.
"So, will you be free tomorrow?"
"Um, I don't know yet, why do you ask?"
"Because I want us to hang out since it's Sunday,"
"Ok, I'll try,"
"Ok, talk to you later," she said happily as she got out of the car and went inside.
Nathan started the engine and drove off.
Diva stormed towards the staff quarter, her anger growing with each step. She reached Mia's apartment and started yelling her name.
"Where is she?!" Diva demanded, her voice echoing through the hallway.
Mia and her mother, Mrs. Ruth, emerged from their apartment. Before they could ask what was wrong, Diva landed a hot slap across Mia's face.
Everyone was shocked, including the maids watching from different angles.
"Your Highness," Mrs. Ruth exclaimed, surprised.
"You shameless wh@re, how dare you get close to my man!"
The royal family rushed out, drawn by the commotion.
"Diva, what is going on here?" Queen Lala asked.
"She slept with my fiancé!"Diva's accusations poured out.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"That's not true."Mia defended herself.
"You called me a liar? When I saw you at his house..." She lunged at Mia, but Alex quickly intervened, standing between them.
"That's enough," Alex said firmly. "Can you just keep it down?"
Mrs. Ruth held her daughter close, protecting her.
"What's going on? You're making me confused."King Luke said looking confused.
"She slept with my man. I saw her in Nathan's house this morning."
"Is that true? Did you have your way into my daughter's fiancé?"Queen Lala's gaze turned stern.
Mia shook her head. "No, that's not true. I didn't do anything."
"You liar! You're going to pay for this." Alex restrained Diva, holding her tight. "Let me go! I'll teach her a lesson!" Diva struggled.
"Nanny, please take your daughter inside. We'll handle this." Alex said firmly.
Mrs. Ruth nodded and escorted Mia inside.
As they disappeared from view, Diva's anger remained.
"You'll pay for this, you wh@re!" she yelled, still struggling against Alex's grip.
Alex dragged her away, followed by the royal parents.
They arrived at the living room, and King Luke ordered the guards and maids to leave.
"Calm down, child, and tell us what happened." King Luke asked.
"She has the audacity to mess with me! How dare she!"
"Are you sure you saw her?"Queen Lala asked,
"I'm not blind, Mother. I saw her in Nathan's house having dinner with them. For heaven's sake, how did she get close to him to the point of sleeping with him?"Diva's response was adamant.
"Can you just keep it down? You're just overreacting."Alex intervened.
Diva's anger flared up. "I'm overreacting?"
"Yes."
"Then explain what she was doing in my man's house."
"Correction, sis, Nathan is not your man. In case you've forgotten, you both are in a fake engagement."
"Be supportive of your sister for once." Queen Lala said.
"Supportive? How can I support such a thing? She's being possessive over someone who we don't know will end up with her tomorrow."Alex shot back,
"Alex!"Diva yelled,
"Face it, sis. Getting a guy's attention doesn't result in you being possessive of him. Right now, Nathan has his own decisions to make, whether to end up with you or not. If you want to have him in the future, be on good behavior and respect people regardless of their status." With that, he walked away.
Diva turned to her mother, "Mom."
"Relax, dear. Don't listen to him. He's just trying to ignite your anger."
"Dad, are you going to let this slide?"
"What do you want me to do? This is your cross to carry." He walked away, leaving Diva frustrated.
"Come on, child. Don't let it affect you. Nathan is yours alone, and no one can take that away from you." She patted Diva's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Meanwhile, Mia and her mother were talking in the room.
"Believe me, Mom, I didn't do it," Mia said sadly.
"I believe you, dear. I know you'll never do such a thing. But I advise you to take some of your work clothes and go spend time with Naomi at her place until everything is settled."
Mia nodded and started packing a few of her clothes.
After some minutes, Mia arrived at Naomi's house with her things. She was welcomed warmly, and Naomi helped her with her belongings to the room.
Mia sat down with Mr. Daniels, chatting with him.
"How's your mom doing?" he asked.
"She's doing great, and she sent her greetings," Mia replied.
"That's good."
They chatted for a bit longer, and then Naomi came out of the room.
"How are you feeling now? Getting better?"
"Yes, your sister is taking good care of me," he said and they smiled
"That's good to know."
"Alright, let me prepare lunch," Naomi said.
"I'll help out," Mia offered, following Naomi to the kitchen.
"I'll take a nap."Mr. Daniels stood up.
He headed to his room, leaving the girls to prepare lunch together.
As they cooked and chatted, Mia shared everything that had happened earlier that day. Naomi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Nathan brought you to his house last night and took you to his room? And even made you have breakfast with his family?" Naomi asked, her voice full of astonishment.
"Yeah, it was embarrassing. I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me."
"Were his family nice to you?"
"Yes, everything was cool until they found out who I am in the palace. That's when things got tense."
"Did they say harsh words to you after that?"
"No, but Princess Diva showed up, and that's when everything became more tense. I tried to find a way out, but Nathan insisted on taking me home. I didn't want Diva to get the wrong idea, but she accused me of sleeping with her fiancé in front of everyone."
. "It's good you came here. I know she'll be planning something mean to get back at you."
"I don't know what to do. I've been trying to avoid this. Getting close to him will be the death of me."
"Same for Alex. I'm surprised he brought you home. How did they even know we were there?"
"I have no idea. This will be the last time I get drunk."
"Same here."
They continued cooking, lost in their own thoughts.
