Joshua grunted in anger looking totally unpleased with both himself and the thought of his mother summoning Carmella to discuss marriage plans without confronting him first, he wondered in anger if it had gotten to that extent that his mother have decided to force Carmella on him.
He kicked hard on the chair he was previously sitting on looking totally unhappy with what he just discovered about Carmella “I just don’t understand why Carmella doesn’t get it, like… I don’t want her, I don’t want to marry her.”
He took a deep sigh staring heavily at the chair that had fallen to the ground, he turned away from it in anger and walked straight into the house, he found himself standing in front of his mother’s door in no time, he lifted his hand to bang at the door but then he retreated, their was no point approaching her in that fierce mode though he was boiling with rage and wanted to let her know exactly how he was feel
Emma scoffed in discomfort, she felt challenged and that feeling wasn’t something she enjoy especially when it comes from someone whom she believes is supposed to be under her. Despite the fact that Joshua being the only son of his late father have taken other leadership from his father, Emma still believes that he owes her hundred percent homage not just as his mother but as the queen of the clan and therefore nothing should and can be done without her consent. She was getting totally aggravated with each second that swam by, Joshua didn’t look willing to back out of his quest to get answers from her, he looked even eager and willing to stand there for longer hours just to get his mother to talk to him, to say exactly what he wants to hear. Emma walked closer to him staring deep at his face, he could clearly see the lines on his face, incredibly defining his handsome, for a moment she admired her son’s look and then acknowledged the fact that he was already
Emma didn’t like the way Joshua left her room and she felt totally uncomfortable that her plans of forcing Carmella on him might backfire which she couldn’t afford to allow happen but she really needed something to use against him if she wanted him to do exactly what she wanted but what could she possibly use against her own son to make him bend to her wishes.She moved over to the bed and sat on it hitting her on it over and over again, she gritted her teeth in anger feeling drenched in her own thoughts wondering how on earth she intends to achieve her goal of having Carmella as a daughter in law.Emma sprang up on her feet and paced the room for a while “now it’s no longer Terry or Carmella saying no but rather my son who is hell bent on his mission of bringing Diana back here, well I don’t care if he brings her back but an adulterous woman would never be the queen of this clan, it would never happen and I would do whatever it is within
Carmella noticed it and glared at her wondering why she reacted that way “what is it mother? Are you surprised that I and Joshua are getting married so soon even though you’re not in support of it?”Zara stood on her feet, for some reasons she felt that Carmella was really doing too much but at the same time, she didn’t send her self to the palace, the queen was actually the one that summoned her but she was sure Joshua would never support or agree to whatever plans the queen was making.”“You don’t seem happy for me mother…” Carmella said staring at her mother’s face.“I don’t understand any of this Carmella, you want me to be happy that you’re about to allow the queen make you marry someone who doesn’t love or want you but rather your younger sister?” She asked.Carmella felt provoked and hated when she heard her mother speak, she jumped to her feet in rage withou
She turned away from her mother heading straight to the kitchen “where did you say my food is?”Zara remained mute.Carmella turned around to take a glance at her and found her staring at her with her hands folded, she knew what that look meant, her mother wasn’t ready to answer any of her quest until she answers hers but what exactly was she supposed to say, what lie was she to tell that she haven’t told before and how on earth was she to convince her smart mother standing right in front of her that she was telling the truth this time around? Her mind kept jumping from one place to the other and in so doing she could hear her heart pounding really hard in her chest giving her away to guilt, she was guilty, she knew it but telling her mother she met Azora and all that was more like digging her own grave and making her plans impossible to achieve.“You aren’t saying anything…” Zara said calling back her attention,
“Their is nothing to talk about mother cause I went no where, this is one of the reasons why I wish to get married so I would leave your damn house and stop you from tormenting my life” she said in tears.Zara arched her brow “am I really tormenting your life or are you the one who have decided to be a lying and sneaky daughter?”“I don’t care what you call me mother, you can have the food, I would go to bed on an empty stomach” she struggled to stand again and this time around she succeeded, she walked past her mother heading for her room though her steps were slow.Zara sighed loudly “well let’s see what would eventually happen by the time I tell Queen Emma that her so called daughter in law to be spent the previous night out of the walls of her home, I believe you would be glad to tell her the whole truth” she moved over to a chair in the room and sat quietly on it shaking her legs.Carm
Melanie was awake that morning, as usual she could hear the birds cawing from the roof top, she shrugged in discomfort, her body still aches from the previous day’s beating but that was the least of her worries, she was just worried on how to continue pretending that she doesn’t seem to remember whatever that happened the previous day especially now that she was aware that her best friend was having an affair with her husband, she took a deep sigh knowing it would be disastrous to let out the truth at this moment as she was still very much concerned to know why Charles has chosen to remain married to her despite hating her so much.A man who doesn’t like a woman can’t possibly continue to live with her except their is something attached to all of it, Melanie was bound to found out, she wanted to start picking up the pieces of her life, she couldn’t leave Charles now cause she doesn’t know a thing about herself or her past, she was still in
Charles drove slowly down the road, he stopped at interval at the sign of the traffic light while he wished for the days to sweep by quickly so it would be Melanie’s twenty fifth birthday and her inheritance would be handed over to her so he can finally have them all, he called it a reward for all this years of putting up with her, he just couldn’t wait for that day to come anymore but it was only few days away. His phone started ringing, she slotted the AirPod into his ear in other to pick the call, it was Rose. She was in her apartment, relaxing with a cup of coffee on her table when she recalled that the inheritance they have all been waiting patiently for would finally arrive, she picked up her phone to call Charles. “How are you doing Rose? It’s unusual to have you calling this early” he said with his eyes steady on the road. Rose shrugged “I guess I am less important for you to call on a beautiful morning like this, unlike your numerous girlfrie
Charles couldn’t help mumbling to himself while he drove down the parking lot in his company, he wore a long face thinking deeply about Rose’s call which he found totally annoying.“She has no right to call me or ask of the inheritance, I give her what I deem fit and secondly, she doesn’t own me, it’s my life, I am Melanie’s husband and I can decide to trick her into transferring everything in my name and that would be the pay for all the years I kept her under my roof, all the years I fed and clothed her, I never wanted to marry her in the first, like… who wants to marry someone who cheated on you with your friend cause she has issues with her memory, Rose should better not get on my toes else she would be so sorry for herself” he gritted in anger.He had finally parked his car and alighted adjusting his jacket, he looked pretty smart in his black suit, blue shirt and a pair of black trousers and shoes, she shut the dri
Carmella left the room angrily, she walked into her room and met Leonna cleaning it, she went straight to her and grabbed her by the hair "you little bitch, you really want to reap where you did not sow huh?"Leonna groaned in pain totally unaware of what Carmella was talking about "what have I done?" She cried out."You want to become queen huh? You want me to bow at your feet?" She yelled pushing her to the wall.Leonna hit her head on the wall turning around slowly with her forehead bleeding slightly, their were equally blood stains on the wall, she could feel heavy headache on her head too, Carmella cared less about that her bleeding forehead "it would be over my dead body that I would allow you marry Terry, listen to me, you won't and would never marry him, he belongs to me and me alone, I have always been the one he loved, not some low life like you" she said wagging her finger at her.She shook her head sadly, she just couldn't believe that all the yelling was just because of T
The day was gradually coming to an end, Terry retired to his room, he had actually started occupying Joshua's chambers, he had sent for Leonna who arrived few minutes later standing by the door."Come in and shut the door..." He said on seeing her.Leonna was scared, she just didn't want to come anywhere close to him, never have she imagined that Terry was evil but today she witnessed him treat a wolf who have loved him like a brother like an enemy and that was something she wouldn't forget in a hurry, she shut the door and stood by it with her hands properly folded."Please sit,I want us to talk" he said."I don't want to, whatever you want to say, please say it now, I was busy before you sent for me" she said looking away.Terry sighed walking closer to her, he knew that she was angry with him, he cleared his throat "we have always liked each other alot and because of the rules guarding the palace, we couldn't show our feelings properly nor have a good relationship, when I said that
"What... What did you just say Azora?" Zara asked standing to her feet.Azora laughed "you haven't told them yet? How you were so jealous of your kid sister cause she married the man of your dreams and you decided to end her life just to have him all to yourself yet it took you so many years to get married to him, did you also tell them how you asked me for powers to get rid of her when she found out that she was still alive, how you went to poison her but ended up poisoning yourself, how you went the second time but disgraced yourself and showed your real face cause you always take the form of her human husband's personal assistant's face? She never eloped with a human just like she always claims, Diana is a survival of attempted murder by her own sister! and did you also tell them that you have pushed her off the cliff the second time? poor girl.. I doubt if she would survive this time around.""I survived...." Diana said walking into the throne room, her hands were dripping of blo
By the time he got to the palace, what he saw was what he didn't expect, someone else was sitting on her mother's throne and Terry sitting on his, could this be a dream or what?" He thought "what are you doing Terry? Why are you sitting on my throne?" He asked turning to see his mother, the queen, Zara,Maria and Leonna sitting on the floor."I don't get this Azora, this is not our agreement, why the hell would you ask a servant to sit on my husband's throne?" She yelled in anger."He has equal rights as your so called husband does and therefore deserves this throne better" Azora said with a proud smirk on her face.Joshua was shocked "and what is that supposed to mean? Would you get off that throne this minute!" He yelled at Joshua trying to grab him."If you dare touch me, trust me brother you wouldn't like what I would do to you, I have every right to be on this throne and if you're still so confused, maybe you should ask your beloved mother here" Terry said pointing at pointing at
Zara left her house at once without saying another word to Joshua, Leonna followed her at once,the king looked totally speechless, he turned to Diana "stay here, I would be right back."Diana shook her head in disapproval "I can't, I must go with you.""But it might be dangerous" he explained."I don't care, I am going with you" she said sadly grabbing his hand.The king sighed, it was truly obvious that he had no other choice but to allow her follow him just like she wants, few minutes after they left the palace, Joshua was feeling really pressed, so he asked Diana to wait for him under a tree while he goes to ease himself, while he was doing so Carmella crept from behind, she was actually on her way to her mother's house when she saw the king walking side by side with Diana holding her hands, he didn't notice her presence as he was backing her, Carmella grabbed a log of wood which was lying on the floor and hit it behind his head, Joshua fell on the floor and passed out at once, she
She arrived the palace and fear gripped everyone at once but before the guards in the palace could attack her, she bewitched them and made them bow at her feet while she grinned with so much delight feeling so fulfilled. Leonna was just done massaging Carmella's leg and had walked out of her room in tears when she noticed something awkward going on in front of the palace, she noticed a strange woman on a black rope chanting some words and making everyone bow at her feet, fear took grip of her and she fled at once to the back of the house running as fast as she could to inform the king of what was going on since she had seen him leave earlier and was so sure he had gone to see Diana and her mother.Carmella noticed a weird kind of silence and walked out of her room looking at each corner of the palace in fright, she could tell that something was wrong, she walked into the throne room and saw Azora standing there,she gasped and at the same time smiled walking majestically to stand in fr
At once he left his room to meet his mother and Carmella in the throne room, he tried greeting her to release him but she bluntly refused, for the first time he witnessed his mother swear over and over again to deal with Terry, she stood up pointing fiercely at her son “he brought that woman into this palace, she is not and will not be accepted here, I might spare her life and pardon her for what she did to the royal family, after all we have her elder sister here with us now to take her place but I would never accept her into this palace.”The king chortled “then get ready to loose your son and the king of this land” he said walking out on them.Queen Emma gasped in confusion.Carmella stood up and ran straight to her room shutting the door behind, she looked so upset, she turned the mirror and started summoning Azora and in no time she could see her image in the mirror , with so much bitterness behind her voice she told her all that was happening at that moment and Azora told her wh
Few hours later, they arrived the village and the palace in particular, the wedding ceremony have been conducted as people could be seen dancing and eating, Zara whose face was covered with sadness was about leaving the palace when she sighted Diana in the company of Terry, she gasped in shock “Diana!” She called out in a loud tone.That instant every where was silent, the music stopped, everyone turned around staring at Diana who looked totally confused, a palace guard ran into the palace building, the king, queen and Carmela were in the throne room when he came to inform them of the latest development, Carmella was the first to run out of the throne room to confirm what the guard had said, on stepping out she saw Diana standing beside Terry, it was obvious that he was the one that brought her back home “I knew it that he would do whatsoever it takes to ensure that my happiness is completely snatched away from me” she muttered feeling so upset, the queen and the king were soon outsid
Melanie had slept off in the hospital after having a good time with her daughter the previous day, she actually spent the night on the couch pondering over what Joshua had told her that evening especially about the wedding, she felt irritated and upset and wondered how many more evil people existed in the world if her own sister could go as far as wanting to marry her husband, her eyes gently went open when she heard footsteps approaching the ward, she felt really weak and her body ached a lot, she looked up and there stood the female doctor who have been taking care of her daughter, she smiled at her “good morning…” she greeted almost in a faint tone. The doctor smiled at her in response as they both stepped outside few minutes later to have a conversation after she was done checking on Brenda who was still very much asleep.Melanie cleared her voice “so when can we go home doctor?” She asked politely.“You’re free to go today, she’s okay, the least you can do is bring her twice ever
