Mates But Enemies novel Chapter 54

They arrived at the airport and Absalom called out a Lamborghini to take them to their destination. They started their journey to the kingdom and they were served food and drinks in it. Everyone was enjoying their meal with the exception of Nadia and Leo, they looked downtrodden. The rest felt worried and asked them of the problem and all they could say was that something wasn't right but they didn't know what it was.

Logan took Leo in his arms and told him that whatever that had gone wrong, they would deal with it together but then till they found out what was actually wrong, they allow it to control them.

They agreed with him and their moods became lightened, they spoke and laughed together with the rest.

Then an idea came into mind of Absalom that they had not dressed up as royalty and had dressed in casual clothes. So he told them what he thought of the matter and asked the driver to take them to a top quality boutique so they could change. Nadia was about to disagree but when he saw the excitement in Leo and Mia's eyes, he agreed and went with them.

When they arrived, Absalom took the hand of Mia and got off, the rest felt awkward but still got out anyway. Logan took Leo on his shoulders and gave his hand to Nadia but she didn't take his hand and instead walked ahead of them.

Leo and Logan looked at each other and both smiled and shook their heads together. Nadia saw this and a smile appeared on her face.

They entered the place and shopping assistants started helping them to choose clothes. The clothes were all hand made and it seemed that apart from that shop one couldn't get them from anywhere else. Logan saw a particular dress and got stuck there, Leo looked at the dress too and said,

Wow, this will look great on mom.

Logan smiled and said,

“It will wouldn't it? But how do we get her to wear it?”

They both thought for a while but then suddenly shook their heads together and walked away from it. Logan looked up at him and said,

“I think we should get something for ourselves how about a pair? Father and son?”

Unknowingly to them, someone was watching them all that while and when they left for the place, she came to stand in front of it. Then she removed it so she could try it on. The pair got some clothes and decided to try them on but when they got to the changing room, they didn't check which one was for the males and entered just anyone.

They opened the door and swiftly entered then they heard someone gasp out of surprise. They looked up and saw a goddess in front of them, both of them then shouted,

We are so sorry and was about to go out but then the familiarity caught on them. So they turned back and saw her laughing at them. She then asked,

“Oh my God who would have thought that my own child wouldn't recognize me?”

She looked at Logan and said,

“And you, did you say that I was your mate? How disappointing!!”

They both looked down guiltily but then she held their cheeks and laughed then said,

“I was only joking how do I look?”

Then as if stimulated, they said together,

“You look gorgeous. ”

They all dressed up and existed the building, all eyes were drawn to them as if they were celebrities.

They spoke and laughed together joyfully till they finally arrived at their destination. It was late in the night and Leo had fallen asleep but the whole kingdom was joyful and it seemed that they weren't going to sleep that night.

People were everywhere as they drank, sang and danced even in the streets. The car managed to reach it's destination which was the palace, the noisy place became as silent as a grave as the car pulled over in the palace.

They got out of the car and Absalom led the way with Mia holding her hand as they moved. Logan followed with Leo holding his hand but Nadia followed after them. But then Leo stopped walking and Leo told her that if she isn't holding his hand, then he wasn't moving. She joined them and held his hand then finally, the family of three walked together. A big smile played on their lips as they walked forward, they got to the gate of the throne room and the announcer shouted,

“Welcome home, prince Absalom and prince Logan. ”
