Dike bowed his head in shame. Blessed, his only daughter who was supposed to be getting married, was just confirmed pregnant by the nurse. Blessed, who was engaged to be married to Dera, the prince of Alaoma kingdom, was pregnant. This was the news that began to fly from one ear to another until the whole village heard about what happened. This was indeed a shame. 'What an embarrassment," was the exclamation from Mr. Dike, Blessed's father, when it got to a point that he couldn't bare the shame.

The village was abuzz with the news, and everyone's tongue was wagging. How could this happen? people whispered. She was supposed to be the queen! The shame was extremely much, and Dike's reputation was tarnished.
Just then, Prince Dera appeared, with a strong face, feeling betrayed. I couldn't believe the news, he said, his voice cold. "You're carrying someone else's child?
Blessed shook her head, tears streaming down her face. It's not what you think, Dera. I...I didn't mean to betray you.
But before she could finish, Prince Dera cut her off. We'll discuss this later. For now, the wedding is off.
Days turned into weeks, and the shame seemed to grow. But Prince Dera had extremely forgotten about his escapade some months back. While Blessed kept searching for the guy she had a night stand with at jio's hotel. Though she didn't mention a word to any body apart from her best friend Kella.
Kella took it serious and started tracing and tracking people until she discovered the truth. She was with Kella that night at the jio's, Kella only stepped out to see her boyfriend off, only to return and didn't find Blessed. Later seeing her in an hotel room. So it was easy for her to track records.
After much breaking of backs and bribing, the truth was in veiled from the CCTV. The guy she had a one night stand with was Prince Dera.
At this point Dera himself was happy he didn't loose his bride at the same time, he felt sad he messed her up before the wedding night. But all same, there parents had to bless the marriage.
