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,
They both walked in silence through the woods, Zara have left hold of Carmella’s hand, she seemed lost in thoughts and drained in it, her daughter couldn’t stop taking glances at her wondering what was going on through her mind but deep down in her heart, their was this bubbling joy that had no ends, the feeling of fulfillment and that finally she would have what she have always wanted, she grinned with so much excitement secretly feeling satisfied with what she have achieved so far, yes she knew Joshua hated her with passion right now and that worried her but so far as the queen loved her, she was sure she had everything at her finger tips, who cares what the king thinks when his mother is solidly behind me? She thought to herself adjusting her veil which was almost slipping out of her hair, she just couldn’t wait for two days time to come already though she knows how though those last days would be for her especially with her mother who seemed not to be willing to ever say a word to
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
