Queen Emma hurried to her room feeling fulfilled and at the same time broken, she shut the door behind walking quietly to her bed where she sat gently with her hands wrapped in front of her, the look of her son, how broken and confused he seemed melted her heart, perhaps he truly hated Carmella more than she had ever imagined, she bowed her head for a moment and finally covered her face with her palm shaking her head over and over again, she wished their was something she could do to help her son, yes she have always been the one who wanted so badly for her son to be married to Carmella but at this very moment she felt like everything she have ever wished for was wrong, she felt like she haven’t known her son but what about the kingdom? How could she accept Diana back into the palace after knowing she eloped with a human and even had children for him? She felt I would be totally foolish of her as a queen to turn a blind eye to all of that and open her arms to her, she shook her head a
Zara woke up that morning feel tired and at the same time worried, her body arched as she had spent half of the night sleeping on a chair, that was actually where she had fallen asleep hoping that Carmella would come home or perhaps the servants at the palace would escort her home since it was raining but when the rain grew heavier she doubted the possibility of that though for a lot of reasons she felt totally uncomfortable and wished Carmella would come home, she stretched her hands raising them above her head while she sat up on the bed, she took a quick glance around the room, her vision seemed blurry, she rubbed on her eyes for few seconds and it finally felt better, old age was really telling on her, she struggled to stand grunting slightly “what a night…” she mumbled walking straight to her bathroom to wash up, she spent few seconds there and finally walked out heading straight to the window, pushed it open and a fresh wind came rushing in, she shut her eyes and smiled brightly
She looked away trying so hard to avoid eye contact with Zara who didn’t look like she was ready to do the same, I gaze was tightly fixed on Maria, her mind wandering neigh and far with thoughts of what might be going on, first Maria pays her a visit at the early hours of the morning instead of her daughter who was supposed to come home the previous night, then she informs her that drum was beaten and everyone in the village is aware of what that means including a toddler and finally she informs her that the queen sent for her, she could smell something fishy and at the same time she was having a strong feeling that Maria wasn’t feeling too good about letting the cat out of the bag, she looked away knowing fully well that the queen would surely have answers to her so many questions but that this point she couldn’t deny that she felt nervous, her hands shook slightly as she gently heed them beneath her veil while standing up from where she sat, she cleared her throat, Maria didn’t seem
Queen Emma sprang up to her feet at once, she was both startled and upset about the way Zara had yelled at her, of their was one thing she could tolerate at ease it was certainly not someone yelling at her in her own chambers, she have watched Joshua to that countless times and get away with it but definitely not someone else, her eyes were filled with rage ready to devour Zara if she says another word, Zara noticed the look on her face and gradually looked away, perhaps she had actually done too much but how could she have controlled her anger? She was trying to put it under her arms and act like everything was cool but who does that when everyone around have decided to allow the suspense swallow you up, she just couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted answers straight away, this was already getting too much for her to handle alone, she looked up at Emma who’s eyes was fixed on her, she was totally speechless equally and this was actually getting Zara irritated, didn’t she just hear her
Zara nodded and finally sat down reluctantly though she wished she didn’t have to “tell me exactly what has happened to my daughter, I am so tired of this suspense” she cried out.Queen Emma nodded “I know exactly how you feel Zara…”Zara shook her head at once “no you don’t, if you do know how I feel, you would start talking already, tell me what you all have done with Carmella.”Queen Emma sighed rubbing her hand on her forehead “what on earth do you think we could have done with Carmella? You know how much I equally loved her like a daughter?” She sat down on her bed fixing her gaze on Zara, she sighed.“Joshua would be getting married to Carmella in two days” she finally broke the news.Zara gasped, she couldn’t believe what she just heard, she chortled softly “tell me that this is just a joke, what joke is this Emma?” She asked in a fierce tone.“It’s no joke, they would be getting married, why do you think the drum was beaten?” She asked.Zara gasped “what? And Joshua is in supp
Zara found herself huffing and puffing for a while, she just couldn’t believe her ears, digesting the news was becoming terribly impossible for her, she fell on her knees and grunted in anger, she formed a fist and over and over again she hit her hand on the ground gritting her teeth in anger, her emotions had taken the best part of her and despite the fact that she tried to control it, she just couldn’t, for a while she remained on her knees crying helplessly like a child, she couldn’t believe that Carmella would do this to her, just when she had made her believe that she was worthy of trust, just when she had been able to convince her that it’s possible for her to change from the ambitious girl to one who equally loves her sister and wants her back home, she stabs her at the back when she wasn’t looking, she shook her head at Queen Emma’s words ringing in her head telling her that Joshua forced himself on her, she knew it wasn’t true, it was a big lie, their is no other person who
In tears Carmella cleared her throat “mother I can explain, none of this was my fault I swear it, he forced himself on me and I couldn’t save myself.”“Did he force you to enter his room when you noticed that he was drunk?” Zara asked.Carmella was lost for a minute, she knew what her mother was trying to do, she wanted to blame her for it, but who else was their to blame “she shook her head gently in response to her question.Zara nodded “so you walked into his chambers on your own accord despite knowing that he was drunk cause you wanted to prove what?”“Mother, the king was broken, he wouldn’t talk to anyone in the palace, if I hadn’t gone to see him he would have done more harm than good to himself, he had taken several bottles of wine and was willing to finish everything on his shelf if care wasn’t taken, he still remains my brother in-law so I had to go in and talk to him but he ended up forcing himself on me, I couldn’t do anything to save myself so…. I let him have his way” sh
The cloud seemed to be gathering again, the sky was gradually getting dark, everyone feared it might rain again including Queen Emma who was sitting in the throne room with the elders discussing the marriage plans between his son and Carmella though they were all surprised, they have all heard how Joshua despises Carmella and would never want to take her for a wife, they equally know about his quest to bring back his wife Diana whom they all believed eloped with a human years ago, yes they were happy about the news but they couldn’t hide their surprise as they questioned the queen about when and how it all happened, queen Emma who was trying so hard not to reveal the truth about what happened between her son and Carmella gulped hard and remained in silence while thinking of the best way to answer their question, she knew how wide the elders were and could easily point out a lie when they see one, they could easily fish out the truth when they realize that someone is hiding something f
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
