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
Carmella was getting really confused, deep down she wondered what Joshua was up to, first he came into her room in the morning and almost snuffed the life out of her now, then he comes in again, yells at her and asks her to sit down, she couldn’t deny the fact that she was getting even more scared now, her body was gradually getting soaked with sweat, what if Joshua had planned to kill her right in the room? What would actually be her fate? She thought and shook her head at that thought, she took a glance at him, he just stood there with his hands folded waiting for her to sit down, this was really strange but she had no other choice than to do just like he had asked her while she prayed that someone should just save her from him as soon as possible, but isn’t it really crazy that she got herself into this mess about to get herself married to someone who hates her and might end up killing her someday? She finally sat down with both of her hands placed on her laps “I am sitting now..”
She walked quickly, as fast as her legs could carry her while she mumbled continuously to herself shaking her head in disdain, she just couldn’t believe that a Joshua could make her such a huge offer just to ensure he doesn’t tie the knot with her, she wondered if that was how much he hated her and wanted to get her far away from him, she shook her head, she just couldn’t allow herself to be that foolish to throw away her ambitions all cause he has promised her everything beautiful, after all everything he would give her would surely be taken away from her once Diana returns and is able to remember that she was actually the one who pushed her off a cliff, this was a huge risk she couldn’t afford to take, she kept looking backwards just to ensure that she wasn’t followed and there she mistakenly boomed into someone and fell on the floor, she felt a little dizzy still sitting on the floor where she had fallen with her hand on her forehead, she took a deep breath trying to look up and pe
He fixed his stare on her face looking straight into her eyes, slowly he shook his head and moved both of his hands up to hers, he grabbed them and gently got them off his shirt “I actually wanted to save you from ever getting yourself into a mess you would never be able to get out from but you’re just so stubborn, you don’t want to marry me because you love me Carmella, it’s because you want to be the next queen, you’re too ambitious to tell me that love is the reason why you want to remain unhappy for the rest of your life.”Carmella gasped, she couldn’t believed that he figured it out, he actually cracked open her secretly but she just had to debunk those words of his at once, she needed to convince him that her marriage to him as nothing to do with the queen ship but rather because she loved him “Joshua you are wrong, then you don’t know me well if you think I have always wanted to be your wife right from childhood just to be the next queen, how could you ever think of me that way
Deep down he was already boiling with rage, if Zara had said something horrible to him he would have definitely concluded that the universe was against him that day, fortunately for him at least their was still one person on his side who equally understood him, he shut his eye for a moment glaring at the person standing in front of him, he was certainly the last person he wanted to see and for a million reasons he wanted to blame him and yell at him for all that he had gone through since yesterday evening, he didn’t look pleased to see him, he looked away for a moment waiting for him to say something but then he remained speechless, Joshua couldn’t speak either, he just didn’t feel like, after all the deed have been done, Carmella have turned down his offer and his mother was solidly behind him, he scoffed wondering what his mother plans to do, force him to love Carmella and live in peace with her? He shook his head quietly knowing how impossible that would be, a dream and imagination
Queen Emma handed Carmella over to Zara “I would send the finest of jewelry and clothes for both you and your daughter in preparation for the marriage” she smiled.Zara nodded and left holding Carmella by the arm.She turned around and sighed “I just can’t believe that Joshua would say such horrible words to her, it’s not my fault that he couldn’t control himself, the deed has already been done, why can’t he accept it, marry her and everyone can finally live in peace? I really need to confront that son of mine “ she said hurrying off into the palace.Terry was still in the king's room “you may rise…” Joshua said, he was finally calm, at least he had his friend with him to help ease the pain in his chest.“I am wondering, why did you suddenly turn on me? We had an agreement, why did you suddenly change? Why did it seem like you were supporting my mother?” Joshua asked out of curiosity.Terry took a glance at the door taking a deep sigh, he walked closer to the king “promise me that you
At this point he was beginning to wonder if this very woman standing in front of him was his mother, he even wondered if she deserved to be addressed by the title “mother” or perhaps he have been overrating her for years, the thought of she being the reason why he had issues with Terry was already eating deep into him. Right from his childhood days, he observed closely how much his mother detests Terry, she literally blamed him for everything, how could he forget the day he had fallen and brushed his foot against a stone as kids, his mother yelled and pulled Terry by the ear accusing him of pushing him, when Joshua tried to explain what happened and equally defend his friend, his mother shut him up and ordered him to retire to his room, that very day she ensured she punished Terry severely for something that wasn’t his fault, he also recalled that his father had tried to save the boy from her but somehow he seemed scared of his mother and remained quiet after a cold argument he didn’t
“Protect me from Terry? Who told you that I need to be protected from Terry? If their is anyone I need to be protected from it is you mother and no one else.”Her eyes widened “Joshua?” she called out on top of my voice “you are my son, I gave birth to you, I nursed you with these breast of mine and you have no right to challenge me or speak to me in such rude manner, you talk of your father like he was a saint, but it’s fine, some day you would see and realize that all I have ever done was only for your good and your good alone, can’t you see that all Terry have been trying to do all these years is tear us both apart? You have always chose his words over mine, you don’t listen to me and right now you’re standing here saying a lot of rude words to me also threatening to push me out of the way, what more wouldn’t he ask you to do to your mother? Kill me? Is that it or maybe have me banished to the forbidden part of the woods?” Tears swept down her cheeks.Joshua looked at his mother,
