Zara looked worried, she paced for room wearing a sad face, her hands comfortably placed in front of her while she constantly shook them over and over again, her eyes were glued to the ground and her feet didn’t seem to be hurting as she have been pacing her room for a couple of hours, she was a little bit scared about Joshua’s delay in coming to her house just like they have agreed, she was scared that he might have changed her mind and she won’t be able to set her eyes on her daughter Diana. She had dreamed of seeing Diana all night, she had dreamed of hugging her closely and watching her explain in details why she eloped with the human, she had imagined Diana coming back home with her and apologizing to everyone while explaining in details why she left but right now it seemed that that dream, all those beautiful imagination of hers would never come to pass as Joshua was no where to be found around her house.
She took a deep sigh refusing to give into her
Carmella got to her room huffing and puffing, her mother’s last question really got to her and she understood that she was right, what if Diana returns and somehow regains her memory then definitely she would be doomed for ever, she shook her head in fear “that would never happen, over my dead body would I be made to suffer for it, I only did what I felt was right after all she stole what rightfully belongs to me, assuming she never got married to Joshua, non of this would have never happened, but because she was so greedy and selfish, she accepted to marry a man who was supposed to be my husband just to make me feel intimidated, as far as I am concerned, she deserved what she got, I just still do not understand how she survived that fall, like… it’s totally impossible to survive falling off that cliff especially at her condition then” she mumbled in anger.She moved over to where she kept the bottle Azora had given her and placed it comfortably
Melanie moved the strokes of hair that had found it’s way across her face dangling as the wind blew it here and there, she fixed them behind her ears shutting her eyes as the wind blew helplessly past her face brushing them smoothly, she could see the dry leaves which laid on the floor moving from here to there, she smiled at the beauty of nature agreeing to the fact that truly life was beautiful but was her life in particular beautiful at all? All that she had heard and discovered today were way too much for her to digest at once, for a moment she was beginning to wish that she was dreaming or perhaps she wished she never got well, maybe she wouldn’t be feeling as hurt as she felt at the moment, her heart was hurting badly, she felt like she had been stabbed with a dagger but she wondered how humans could be this cruel, how could a man and woman who call themselves are best friend and husband be this cruel towards her, she wondered what her crime was and what she had do
Melanie shook her head desperately “what are you talking about and who is Diana? My name is Melanie, Melanie Clifford” she answered taking glances at their faces.Zara shook her head at once “who told you that? What happened to you? Your real name is Diana, you are my daughter and you suddenly disappeared when you were sixteen” she turned to Joshua and pointed at him “that is your husband Joshua, the king of our clan.”Joshua nodded walking closer hoping that Zara’s words convinces Diana.Melanie was speechless, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing “another husband? I am already married, I have a husband, who the hell are you people and what are you talking about?” She asked feeling totally confused, she had already heard a lot today and accepting this very fact that even her name was a lie was too much to digest, like… how exactly was she to take all these news?She shook her head de
Zara gulped hard “it was really true, she looked totally confused, she doesn’t remember or know anything, she just looked like a helpless child whom is still learning how to speak and walk.”Zara held her hand “that is the truth, you don’t belong to that world out there, come back home with us and we would resolve all these.”Melanie shook her head “you all are making a big mistake, I assure you, you are making a mistake” she laughed softly hoping someone could just wake her up from the horrible dream she was having at that moment.Zara grabbed her hand tight and looked straight into her eyes, Melanie was shocked to look down at her hand, furs were growing out, it was changing quickly into that of animal, she let out a loud cry “stop it, please stop it” she pleaded.Carmella who had been following them heard Diana’s scream and followed it at once, she heed behind a rock and watched with dee
He placed his hands on her shoulder “you disappeared from the clan just two months after our marriage, I was able to find you few months back and it broke my heart to hear you call a human “your husband” I have always loved you right from our childhood days and dreamed of spending the rest of my life with you, I don’t care about whatever that happened between you and the human Diana, I know you still love me very much as much as I love you and we can always make this work, we can fix things, just come back with me to the clan and explain yourself, come back and tell mother how the human bewitched you, I can’t see myself living the rest of my life without you.”Melanie gulped hard, Joshua sounded too sincere to be lying but she felt it would be stupid of her to believe this stranger she just met and follow him to God knows where, she took a glance behind remembering that she had a mystery to uncover, she remembered that she had a beautiful d
Rose flung her bag to a corner in her bedroom, she was fuming with rage and wondered how long she would be in control of her emotions cause she was so sure she was loosing it, she could feel her whole world, efforts and patience crumbling right in front of her eyes yet she can’t do anything to save the day, she moved over to the living room slipping her shoes of her feet and flinging them to God knows where, she found a bottle of alcohol lying peacefully in the bar, she picked it up and and poured in a large amount into a glass cup, she gulped them down at once like it was just ordinary water, she poured in another into the glass and burst into tears, her black expensive eye liner mixed up with her tears and rolled down her cheeks forming thin dark marks all over her face, she mumbled in tears and quickly drank up the drink in the cup, she scoffed shaking her head, she was about pouring in more into the cup when she paused wondering why exactly she needed the cup when she coul
Rose chortled rubbing her hands on her cheeks, she paced a little in the small space in front of her and finally looked up at Charles, her face was in a mess as her hands held tight to the bottle of alcohol like her life depended on it, she took a long sip and dropped the bottle on the table in front of her.Charles gaped “Rose you shouldn’t be doing this to yourself, you shouldn’t be drinking that.”“Shut the fuck up!” She yelled in anger.He was startled, he quietly looked away waiting for her to say something or maybe push him out of her house, he didn’t know what next to say to her.“I should give you a listening ear? Do you really know how hurt I am right now Charles? You betrayed me! You lied to me Charles! You made me believe that we have an agreement, that you love me, that you would marry me, you made me believe that we are sharing Melanie’s inheritance between us, you made me believe all of t
Charles was in his car in no minute, he huffed and puffed in anger and desperately hit his hand on the steering of his car over and over again like it had done something terrible to him, he gnashed his teeth and shut his eyes for a minute.“I really need to think, think Charles, think…” he thought aloud hitting his hand on his head over and over again, then we went quiet for a while, he couldn’t hear any noise from outside since his car door was tightly shut.He took a deep sigh “I would not let Rose have her way neither would I let her win, I would do everything and whatever it takes to stop her, I want to see her try and trust me whatever she does I would boldly use it against her and cripple her for life, she can’t do much, after all… what does she have? It’s high time I stop being too scared of that empty barrel” he mumbled to himself.Charles started the engine of the car and headed home.Melani
