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
Charles wagged his forefinger in front of his face standing to his feet at once “no…no… my darling, I insist that you join us for breakfast, you always join us for breakfast, yeah… I know you really don’t understand exactly what’s going on right now and you’re trying to figure out your life but this is who you are, this is who we are, one happy family, isn’t that right Brenda?” He asked.Brenda almost choked on her oath when Charles threw that question on her, she quickly grabbed a napkin while Melanie hurried to get her some water.“Oh… what happened? Are you okay?” Charles asked sounding so concerned, at this point he was beginning to realize how much Brenda have grown, she wasn’t that five years old kid anymore, like… she must be seven or eight according to his guess, he suspected that she was uncomfortable with what he was doing and knew how much he wouldn’t hesitate to d
