Lost In The Dark Chapter 225
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

Joshua gasped, he was surprised, he couldn’t believe what Zara just said to him, he shook his head desperately, she believed him even when his mother didn’t, he quickly embraced her and burst into tears, Zara felt so bad and sorry for him, a king crying in her arms was something she haven’t witness, she could see through him at that moment, his weakness and everything else was staring her right in the face, she held him for while and allowed him cry his heart out, she could feel how broken he was and how much he wished that none of this ever happened “I am really sorry, I am so sorry” he cried feeling totally broken.She rubbed her hand on his back over and over again in consolation “it’s okay, everything would be fine, the deed have already been done, you just have to chest it like a man and king that you are.”Joshua raised his head from her shoulder and looked straight at her face, he shook his head slowly “the truth is that I don’t love Carmella, I don’t see myself ever loving he
