She went to a grocery store with her friend Rose.
Mrs Clifford who is presently her mother had sent her to get few groceries for the house.
"We need spinach too..." Melanie said pointing to the spot where spinach was, Rose helped her pick them into their basket.
"Hello..." a male smooth tone said from behind.
Melanie turned around looking a little suprised.
She couldn't remember any man ever wanting to talk to her especially when she was in school or in her neighborhood because of her sickness, she keeps forgetting and that is something most of them could not deal with.
Melanie couldn't have or keep a relationship and it was obvious, she was lucky having people like Rose, the maids and Mrs Clifford and his wife to cater for her.
As far as Melanie was concerned, Mr Clifford and his wife were her biological parents.
She looked up at his face, he was handsome and looked well dressed in his jeans and shirt

Rose asked.The phone was still ringing."Of course I am picking the damn call" she said with alot of excitement moving away from Rose.Rose supported her head with a pillow, she watched answer the call, afterwards she typed a message on her phone."I really don't like this, why does all the handsome men come to her and not me?"

How could you do this to us?" Joshua cried out looking shocked.Melanie was confused.She took a quick glance around wondering if their was anyone else around her who the young man was referring to.Joshua had come down to the beach just like he does sometimes, though they were careful of the humans he s

"What?" Charles looked shocked, he turned to Melanie "what is he talking about?""Charles I swear I don't know this man, I don't know what he is talking about" she cried out."But he is insisting that he is your husband, were you married before?" Charles looked confused."Charles I was never married before, this man is just a liar, maybe he is a serial killer" Melanie said in tears."What did you just call me Diana? A serial killer? I chose to marry you amongst other women, I made you my queen but what did I get in return? Two months after our wedding, you eloped with this fool and even had kids with him, this minute you are going back home with me!'

Emma served Joshua his lunch the next day, it felt so impossible for him to sleep and eat after the last time he set his eyes on Diana and she denied ever knowing who he was."I really can't believe that she said that in front of everyone, mother my wife called me a lise in front of everyone, she said she didn't know me and the stupid human almost got arrested" he mumbled.Emma sighed while dropping the veggies on the wooden dunning table with just four chairs.She squat beside Joshua supporting her head with her hand while she listened to him talk about the same thing over and over again.It had been like that all night long and Emma was sick of seeing him that way."Joshua... Joshua enough" she said spreading her hands apart.He gasped "mother, is that all you have to say now? Do you know how it feels for your mate to run away two months after your wedding

Carmella walked up to her though she was completely naked.Melanie didn't see her at first, she was singing a song though in an indistinct tone."Oh my God! What the heck?" She exclaimed on seeing Carmella who placed her hands on her lips.Please don't scream..." Carmella pleaded, she was scared that Diana might expose her and she might be in big trouble for attempted murder of her own kind."Don't scream? What do you expect when I see a naked woman standing in front of me?" Melanie cried out.Joshua was watching while hiding in the woods.Carmella took a glance at the woods.Melanie grabbed one of her dress which looked dry "can you at least put this on."Carmella gasped, she was shocked that Diana was still nice to her despite what she did to her.She took the dress from her and put it on, she felt very nervous."Listen Diana I am very sorry..." she tried to say.Melanie gaped "Diana?

Present day...Owls hooted, the moon rose making it's self visible in the dark sky.There was a wooden beach chair outside, Joshua lay on it staring nonstop at the stars while he thought about his best moments with Diana.Terry his right hand man sat close to the fire burning close by as he added more woods to it to keep it burning, they did this to keep themselves warm and scare away snakes.It has been months since Joshua attacked and killed Melanie's son and even approached her."Why? Why does she keep denying knowing me? Besides she doesn't look happy with that human yet she stays with him, her face is always covered with wounds and bruises" he mumbled.Terry stood up and walked into thehoyse, he came back with a wooden plate containing fruits."Would you have some?"

Emma have been listening to their conversation and went straight to Joshua's room to wait for him.Joshua walked into his room, he gasped... he wasn't expecting to see his mother sitting on his bed."Mother, what are you doing here?" He looked baffled.She stood up "it's good that you are here, what was that you were telling Terry?"He arched his brow "you were eavesdropping to our conversation? Why would you do that mother?""Spare me that sermon Joshua, you are my son and I have the right to pay attention to whatsoever conversation I dim fit, why would you support Terry's proposal to Carmella?" She asked.She shrugged looking even more confused "why wouldn't I support it? He loves Carmella so....""So what?" His mother cutted in harshly."Your father was never this foolish Joshua, why are you this way?" She cried out."Mother!" He called out in caution."Shut up and listen to me! Why would you

A yellow cab stopped infront of Melanie's house. She looked stressed with bruises showing its ugly bleeding selves at various parts of her face. Her hands were a little shaky since she have been quiet under alot of stress lately especially from the deadly beatings and bully she got from her husband. Her legs still hurted badly, the injury haven't gone yet, though she barely remembers how she got it. She dragged her feet heading for the door way. Melanie knocked softly on the door waiting patiently for the door to be opened. After a while she dragged the door handle pulling the door open, she scoffed. She walked into the house and met Brenda, her five years old daughter sitting at a corner downstairs holding her doll to her chest while shivering nonstop. She have been out of the house for a couple of hours, of course it was weekend and she had gone to get groceries after Charles had done his daily routine by reminding he

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

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..

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

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

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
