Chapter 1

Haider jega Excruciating pain, yes that was what I felt as I laid down on the mat. With my tummy laying on the floor, with a woman standing on top of my back. Her weight was one which I didn't imagine, I thought she wasn't heavy but boy was I wrong, she was. "Haider you are very weak. Stop shaking" Fatima said whilst giggling. "Then get your dirty legs off me," I said and she erupted into the wildest laughter I have ever heard. She stepped down from me and I immediately turned over and sat on the mat, not without releasing a great yelp from my lips, of course, Fatima chuckled again. "Fatima you are overweighted," I said and she chuckled. "Nope, you are just too weak. Thanks for training me today though, I feel so much better today" Fatima stretched her arm. "You're welcome Lil sis" I stood up on my feet and stretched a little. "Can we go out later?" She asked while seating on the bicycle machine. "You know I'm not yet that conversant with Nigeria, so you'll have to drive," I said, I stood on the treadmill and turned it on, at a slow pace. "Yeah, I'll drive, whose is that man outside? Is he your new bodyguard?" Fatima asked and I huffed and turned off the treadmill and got down. "Yeah, I hate it when dad does that. He changes my bodyguard like every week, you and mum are lucky you don't leave in the palace, I swear" I said and she erupted Into a burst of loud annoying laughter. I frowned immediately and she stopped. "I'm so sorry Haider, I told you to come and stay with mum and me but you refused," she said and I rolled my eyes. "I'm a guy Fatima, and the crowned prince of the north as of that matter. I can't just leave my responsibilities and run away" I sat down on the tiled floor of the gym. She walked over to me and took a sit as well. "I know, but you do know that Zubair is also a crown prince of the north. So there's a competition between both of you" She said. "And mum is scared about that, his mum is not to be trusted" "Enough Fatima, Mama is not bad. Mum just has a beef with her because she got divorced when she came" I got up immediately in other to control my anger, like prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said, when you are angry and you are seated, get up. And when you are standing and you are angry, sit down. Masha Allah (beautiful). "Haider you know mum doesn't lie, mama is the cause of the divorce" Fatima said, she was getting on my nerves. "Get up, I'm taking you home," I said and she looked at me in shock. "Are you taking me home because of what I said?" She asked and I nodded. "Well keep your stupid ride to yourself, I'm Calling my driver" she got up and walked over to the big transparent glass door of the gym and walked out. I didn't even stop her, because I know we'll argue all through the ride. "Bro what happened to you and booking the whole gym for the whole morning?" The owner of the gym walked in. "We got into an argument Sam," I said and he shook his head pitifully. "Sorry" Sam simply said and I smiled. "I'll see you, tomorrow buddy, dad and I have a meeting now" I gave Sam a fist bump before walking outside the gym. Immediately after I got there, my bodyguard ran over to where I stood. "Are we leaving now sir?" He asked, I stared at him with a very rude expression on my face. I hate all my bodyguards. "Where is my car?" I asked bluntly. "There it is sir, there was no parking sign over there so we had to drive it over there," the bodyguard said. "Did I ask for explanations? please let's go home. My dad just texted me" I said and he nodded, I could tell that he wanted to erupt out of anger but he held it back. We walked towards my car, and he sat in front while I sat in the back. A message from Nailah immediately popped up on my screen and a smile immediately caressed my lips, she had a way of always bringing me joy. "I have a gift for you in your room, good luck baby" she texted, I smiled. "What gift is that?" I texted back. "Something special for an amazing man" She replied immediately. "How did you get my gift into Nigeria and How did you even get the gift into the palace and my room?" I asked, Nailah never seizes to surprise me. "It's my little Birdy in the palace that helped me, and I'm not telling. Goodbye, my prince, My meeting is about to begin, I love you" she texted back with a heart emoji, normally this stuffs do nothing to me, but whenever Nailah sends it, I feel very loved. "Bye Queen, I Love you too" I replied with a smile. "Sir we are here," The voice of the annoying bodyguard said out loud. I know I'm being a little hard on the bodyguard, but no one can do it. He is very annoying, I doubt if he can even fight off criminals. "Oh," I said. I opened the car immediately and walked out, he also did the same. How irritating right? He follows me like a shadow. We both walked towards the main door of my father's chamber and knocked Calmly, it was opened by his bodyguard who stared at me with a glint of fear in his eyes. Who can blame the guy, I insulted him the last time we met. "Idiot move" I pushed past him and walked into the chamber where I found my old annoying father seated, and he wasn't alone. There was a masked person with him, the person looked like a Ninja dressed in a black leather jacket and black jeans trousers. "Asalamualaikum your highness" I greeted calmly. He didn't say a word so I decided to take my sit before him. "Walaikasalam" he finally responded. "How are you dad?" I asked. "I'm doing good" he responded. "But this is not what I called you for, in fact, I have very good news for you" "Wow, what's the news?" I asked. "I got you a permanent bodyguard," he said and my smile immediately fell flat. "What?... Dad this is the sixth bodyguard you are getting me since I arrived in Nigeria" I got up. The person wearing a mask raised a brow. Whoever they were, he or she is freaking me out. The person looked like a serial killer. "Sit down you fool," my father said and I hissed silently and took my seat. "The person I got you is the best, as the best in Nigeria. I had to pay triple the price before they agreed to give me the contact" my father said. "All the bodyguards you've ever gotten me are weak!" I stated. "Not this one, DK is the best," my father said in all certainty. "Where is the DK?" I asked. "You're looking at the person, Haider meet Dk, the top best soldier in the army," my father said and I looked at him in bewilderment. "A soldier?" I asked and they both nodded. What the fuck is happening? "But look at him, dad are you kidding me? How can this person protect me when he looks like he can fly up in the sky at any moment" I said and my father chuckled, not just chuckling, but he began to laugh as well. DK raised a brow and I sent him a deadly glare. "DK takes off your mask please," he said and he nodded and began ripping off the mask slowly, and who I saw made my jaw drop. A woman.
