Aurora’s POV “Time flies,” Diana said, staring into space and my eyes were focused on her. “It’s been fifteen years already, time really does fly,” I looked away from Diana and focused my eyes on Elena’s headstone. It’s been fifteen years since Ava ran off with Nalani, and I didn’t even know where my daughter was. Tristan stopped the search when he saw a letter in her room that she was with our daughter and she would take care of her with her life. I didn’t want that, I wanted my child but Tristan felt it was okay for Ava to raise my baby girl. “Are you still thinking about Nalani?” Diana asked an obvious question and I nodded my head. “How could I not think about her? I don’t even know if my child is alive and eating well, I know nothing,” I sighed. “Mother,” Eryx, my baby boy, called with Layla by his side. Tristan decided to announce to everyone that Layla was our first child, and she will be called Princess Layla, and he declared that no one should tell Layla about her
Aurora’s POV “I see you are done with resting,” Mother said when I entered her room. “It took you long enough, I thought you would be here the moment you gave birth.”I laughed, “I needed to recover before I dealt with you, I gave you enough time to kill me but you couldn’t do anything.”“So did you come here to punish me?” Mother asked slyly. “I thought of it well, and I will just send you back to exile, and this time, I will make sure you don’t return,” I smiled slyly, “Trust me.”“Aurora, you remind me of Queen Nunu and I hate that,” Mother said, “You should enjoy today’s ceremony because I will make it memorable.”Memorable? Now I don’t trust her, “Don’t try anything funny else I will end your entire existence.” “I know,” Mother smirked, “I should go get ready to witness my son’s downfall.”“Sure,” I said and hurriedly walked out of Queen Roopa’s room.“Are you okay?” Tristan asked when I bumped into her, “You look like you have seen a ghost.”“No, I just wanted to go see my ki
Aurora’s POV Mother touched my face gently, “Today I will watch you meet your end, all Nunu’s bloodline will meet their end,” Mother smiled.“Pray I don’t survive this else I will make sure you don’t see the next second,” I cried in pain. I really hope I survive this.“Aurora, are you okay?” Diana asked as she ran inside my room and Mother started pretending to cry.I was lying on the floor, covered in sweat and pain all over, and I was trying to control myself by breathing in and out.“What’s going on? Why isn’t the physician here?” Mother faked asked. I felt disgusted by her hands on me.“Tri….. Tristan?” I held Diana’s hand in tears, “Please help him.”“You shouldn’t be talking about Tristan right now, we should be focused on you,” Diana said in a panic. “You …… you….. don’t ……understand…..” I looked at Mother then looked at her as I bit my lips, “Don’t…. Let…. Him…. Have….. any….. thing.”“I will make sure he comes here immediately,” Diana said as she stood up, “I will make sure
Aurora’s POV The moment the carriage arrived at the palace, I jumped down and ran to my room. I shut the door and leaned my back against it as I tried to catch my breath.“It looked like you had discovered a secret you shouldn’t have,” I opened my eyes to see Ava sitting on the chair in my room.“What are you doing here?” I regained my composure and stood up straight, “How are you?” I was scared to go close to her, she looked better than before, her eyes weren’t as dark as they used to be. “People think it’s fun being a witch,” Ava skipped my questions and began saying whatever she had in mind, “They think it’s okay to see the past and the future but it’s torture.”“What are you on about?” I questioned. I wanted to understand what she meant but I couldn’t.“I guess you finally saw who killed Queen Nunu,” Ava furrowed her eyebrows, “As long as you have a witch blood in you and you touch people you must see something you wish you never saw.”I see she already saw Queen Roopa kill Qu
Aurora’s POV Seeing Tristan stand there with teary eyes made me hurt. I hadn’t seen him up close in a long time, I was excited to see him here, but now I have to watch him cry, and I couldn’t bear it.“Is that what you really want?” I asked, hoping he would change his mind, but he didn’t. He nodded his head, “I will go to where she is and bring her myself, you will come with me, and you must be responsible for her well-being while she is in the palace.”“If she does anything or anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility,” Tristan responded. I bit my lower lip and nodded my head. For some reason, I didn’t trust Queen Roopa. I felt like she was up to something. “Let’s go.”We left the palace and went to where Queen Roopa was being kept. She was lying on the bed with tears all over her face and the physician was checking her.“I think I’m going to die! I think I’m on my deathbed,” Mother cried at the top of her lungs. I’m sure she was pretending.“Mother,” Tristan ran to sit
Tristan’s POV “Do you want to continue living like this?” Diana asked for the hundredth time today, “It’s been months.”“What do you expect me to do?” I dropped the new paper on the table and furrowed my eyebrow. “I mean, go and see her at least once, she misses you,” Diana whined. “Did she send you here?” I questioned, “You know I can’t forgive her for that day and you know she also wanted this separation.”“Tristan,” Diana called, “She is pregnant too.”“Diana, what do you want?” I questioned seriously. “I want you to forgive Aurora,” Diana stated what she wanted, and from what I could remember, she had been saying this for months. “It’s time for me to go see Ava,” I stood to my feet. “You will go see Ava but can’t see Aurora? You have been doing this for months,” Diana spat angrily. “I feel guilty, I feel like it’s my fault, that’s why I check up on her well every day,” I said, feeling guilty. “Ava has tried to take her life a lot of times.”“Didn’t you hate her?” Diana aske
