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,
Maria had noticed the queen’s mood, for hours she have refused to eat or drink anything waiting impatiently for her son to return while she stood outside, this got her very worried as the welfare of the queen was her ultimate responsibility, she quietly walked up to the queen hoping she would listen to her this time around, she had walked up to her twice, consoling and advising her to return to her chambers that the king would be back but she seemed to to believe, standing outside wasn’t going to solve anything but would rather make her leg ache later in the night.“My queen, you should retire to your chambers, I assure you that the king would be back soon and nothing bad has happened to him” Maria said politely.Emma shook her head in disagreement “you don’t know this humans Maria, you don’t understand exactly what they are capable of doing, what if they have caught my son, locked him up and maybe turned him into a lab rat in
Emma couldn’t get her mind off the thought of the girl that just walked into the compound with her son and Terry, she looked baffled and couldn’t wait another second to get all the answers she wanted from her son, the fear of the fact that Joshua have decided to take the strange girl as a wife was gradually creeping into her bones, she was deeply shaking with nervousness though she tried to hide it all with the faint look on her face, Joshua was right behind her walking her over to her room else she would have turned back that minute, went straight to the girl’s room and asked her who the hell she was, she couldn’t recall anyone with such face in the clan, she hoped and prayed within that let it all just be a mere thought and that Joshua is never planning to marry the strange girl instead of Carmella just like she have always wanted. They walked into her room and Joshua shut the door behind, Emma turned staring at her son waiting for him to speak, Joshua was
“First, you tell me that you are going to visit Diana, the same Diana that ran away years back and went to be with a human, the same one who had kids with the human and almost tried to kill you when you attacked her kids out of anger, the same Diana Joshua and then you come back with this girl who I really don’t know where you found her and you are yet to tell me who she is, have you brought her to be your wife or what?” She cried out unveiling her fear.Joshua burst into laughter, he couldn’t contain how amused he was at his mother’s words at the moment, he couldn’t believe that this was exactly what was going on in his mother’s mind, he wondered why his mother would ever think of something like that “mother, what are you even saying?”“It’s a question Joshua, I see nothing funny about any of these” she cried out boiling angrily within.Joshua pulled himself together, he took a deep sigh &l
Joshua smiled “actually mother, it is the opposite.”Emma looked up at him confused “what do you mean by it’s the opposite?”“You know mother, all these while that I have been meeting Diana, she always acts crazy towards me, like she doesn’t even want to talk to me or anything but today was different, she sounded more peaceful, infact her wolf sense still works so well that she perceived us and found us in the woods, we had a decent conversation, from the look of things, my Diana is coming back very soon, I repeat… very soon” he grinned.Emma was shocked, she sprang up on her feet at once “I can’t believe this, then why did she run away? Why have she been acting like she doesn’t recognize anyone?”“Mother, finally today I confirmed that Diana was bewitched by the humans, she truly does not remember any of us but she feels a connection to us, I know she does else why would
Joshua got into the room and slammed the door loudly, he was fuming with rage, he couldn’t understand why his mother was like that, it was more like she derived joy in provoking him and seeing him unhappy, he was already at the verge of getting the woman of his dreams back and here she is insisting that he must marry her elder sister, that sounded totally ridiculous to him and at this point he wished so hard that his father was alive, he was sure that he would understand him and be considerate enough unlike his mother who most times acts like she has got no feelings or was never in love, he most times wondered if she truly loved her father else she would understand exactly what it feels like to be in love, he gritted his teeth moved over to the wall and began punching it over and over again until his hands were peeling and bleeding.He gasped placing his bleeding hands over his face while tears ran quickly out of it, he heard a knock at the door.“Who is it
Charles got to his room grinning all by himself, he felt successful and peaceful with all that he had achieved for the day, first he had successfully told Rose to her face that he was never sharing Melanie's inheritance with her, he knew that wasn't a clear message to Rose cause she would do everything to fustrate his efforts but he wondered what exactly she could possibly do, over and over again he had assured himself that night Rose was way too small for him to worry about and now he is fooling Melanie into believing that he is a nice person though he knows that he have failed on several occassions that day in making her see that but he hoped that the money he had given her would cover up for everything.He puffed the smoke recklessly into the air while the rest escaped from his nostrils, he got amused unnecessarily, anyone who was close to him at that moment would only wonder if he had gone mad, he burst into a long roar of uncontrollable laughter"Soon, very
Brenda had her gaze fixed on her father the moment they sat on the dinning table opposite each other waiting for Melanie like always to make and serve breakfast, something seemed totally improper with her father, he was suddenly acting nice and that didn’t go down with her, neatly dressed in her clothes with her beautiful her packed in bunches, she forced a smile on her pretty face from time to time each time she caught her father staring at her, she watched wondering if he was going to switch at any minute just like he always does, whatever he was up to she wanted to find out but it was totally impossible for her to accept the fact that the man who she called father, who molested and treated her mother like trash suddenly woke up one morning and changed into a nice man, that wasn’t possible, it was either he was pretending or he just chose to act nice just for that morning, she smiled at her mother as she walked past squeezing her shoulder softly, she caught her mother
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
