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
Terry hurried into the palace and paused at the sight of the large crowd that had gathered, this was actually the entire village, the entire werewolves in their little village, he gasped looked totally baffled, he looked up ahead and there stood queen Emma and the elders who seemed to be getting ready to address the crowd “something weird is really going on…” he mumbled feeling even more confused, it haven’t been up to a day he left the palace and a lot seemed to have happened already, he took more glances at the faces he saw, some he recognized and some he didn’t, he wanted to avoid the crowd and some how get to the king to know exactly what had happened, just then she recalled Maria’s words who had advised him to go as Leonna who would definitely explain everything to him, he wondered if Leonna was equally involved in what was happening, he just hoped it wasn’t something that would send her out of the palace, deep down he knew he was beginning to feel something for the girl though h
Carmella paced her room shaking like one who was shivering from a cold, she looked totally restless and aswell depressed, she couldn’t even sit, the thought of her mother kept bothering her, she wondered what her discussion with Joshua would turn out to be or what he might end up telling her, she took a deep sigh looking out through the window, she equally noticed the cloud gathering and knew that her mother would ask that they go home soon, but she couldn’t help but feel scared, the fear of going home with her mother was hunting her, she ran her hand through her hair few seconds later on a second thought, she had expected her mother to react in the most disastrous way but she didn’t, perhaps she wasn’t actually the way she had imagine and thought, she shrugged feeling confident in herself though that lasted for a moment, she was glad that her mother have realized that their was nothing either she or anyone else could cause the deed have already been done therefore they all have to le
Life seemed to have given Joshua the opposite of what he had asked for, few days back it was just his thoughts about Diana and how to get her back, it was just he imagining her back home and they building their family from the scratch back to where it ought to be little did he know that things were bound to take a negative turn that morning all because he let his emotions take the best of him, got drunk and slept with a woman who he detests who equally happens to be his sister-in-law, deep down it was so impossible for him to explain or perhaps narrate how he was feeling, it was all mixed feelings, anger and pain boiling from the deepest part of his heart, if only he had his way he just would turn the hands of time and ensure he didn’t make a single mistake, he didn’t take Terry’s word too serious neither did he end up drunk in his chambers, some how he equally wished it was a dream, how was he to know that his life was about to change and finally his mother’s dream of he having Carme
