It’s the Prince of Tamale’s 25th birthday and his gift was to meet the bride his father had chosen for him. She was the offspring of royalty but the Prince (Elikem Kumordzie) wasn’t keen on marrying a woman that he hardly knew. Little did he know his father had promised him to Rita (Okawa Shaznay).

Rita was a beautiful woman that sought power and position. She was around the Prince’s age but she had an affair with his father hoping that he would divorce the Queen and marry her. When that didn’t happen she insisted that she marry the Prince instead.

Rita approached the King in private to voice her disappointment in his choice of a bride for the Prince. She threatened to expose their affair and other secrets if he didn’t arrange for her to marry the prince. When things didn’t go her way, she wrote a book that exposed all of the royal family’s secrets. It was fictional on the surface but mirrored the prince’s life.

Rita managed to get the book to the Prince. When he read it he realized the similarities the book had to his life. The Prince in the book wasn’t the flesh and blood of the King and Queen and it provoked him to question his own paternity.

The plot also involved a budding romance between the prince and a pretty painter. Their relationship was one of discord at first but things turned around and the prince eventually fell for her. “Happily Ever After” never entered the picture thanks to the woman’s unwavering commitment to a boyfriend that mistreated her and physically abused her.
