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
Carmella paced her room, she dragged the veil on her head over and over again biting softly in her nails, she just couldn’t believe what happened back there with Diana, she actually expected her to react in a provoked way, threaten them or maybe try to raise an alarm but she didn’t do any of those things, she was rather unusually quiet and was talking even in a more responsible way, she didn’t know exactly what to make out of what she just witnessed but she could swear that none of it felt good at all, this was a prove that Diana could decide to return home with them and when that happens she was so sure that she would entirely loose her chance with Joshua but the most scary aspect of it all would be if she is able to remember how she left the clan then she would be definitely doomed cause Joshua especially would make sure she pays dearly for it, she moved over to her mirror and stood in front of it shaking her head over and over again like a widow who had lost her
Zara was already in the living room, she looked exhausted already from the long walk.Carmella grinned mischievously when she saw her mother walk into the room, she stood at the passage running her warm hands nervously across her veil hoping that her mother suspects nothing from her attitude, Zara didn’t say a word to her, she was starving already and needed to eat something.“You’re back mother…” Carmella said admist her nervousness walking closer.Zara nodded opening the pots, she discovered they were all empty and sigh smirking secretly, well this only proved one thing, that she was right when she perceived that Carmella had followed them, she felt proud of herself that her sense of smell was still strongly active and like always it has never failed her “you were home all evening, how come you didn’t make anything for dinner?”Carmella was totally silent, she really did not rehearse that line incas
Carmella rolled her eyes in anger, she knew she shouldn’t have said that, she had no right to ask her mother if she knew how much she loved Joshua, after all her mother loved her father right till the very moment he died and because of her undying love for him, she refused to remarry and rather preferred to single handily raise her daughters and mourn her late husband for the rest of her life, that was love worth more than any other thing, a love that came with sacrifice.”“I loved your father dearly even to his death, I decided to be his widow and mourn him forever even when I had the chance to remarry and have a happy life, I chose you and Diana over that happiness and here you are asking me if I knew what love is, Carmella what you claim you feel for Joshua isn’t love and can never be love, you’re rather obsessed with him young woman, if you love him you would love yourself first, you would be thinking about his happiness too other than yours,
