Zara took a glance at her and sighed “shouldn’t you be grateful Carmella that I am kind enough not to have broken that mouth of yours? Cause you certainly don’t deserve to have that hole on your face, not after what you want, I don’t care what you believe anymore child but you don’t betray me and go freely, no one does, I trusted you and believed every word you say, only for you to go to the palace, seduce the king and end up in bed with him, you want to get married to him don’t you? You want to live in the palace and have servants serve you right? Well welcome on board ma’am cause finally you are going to have all that and more at your beck and call but you know what? Don’t come crawling back here in tears when the real pains of this marriage begins.”Carmella shook her head “real pains of this marriage? You mean like Joshua hating me and never regarding me as his wife or Diana returning? You know so well that your daughter Diana have lost her place in the palace when she chose a hum
Deep down she still hated the fact that she was making her own daughter feel like a complete stranger in her own mother's house but the fury burning in her heart burning over what her daughter have done would let her bring forth the compassionate part of her.She walked back to her sitting, she sat reluctantly and continued with her soup, with the way she scooped it you would wonder if it would ever get finished from the bowl though it was obvious that she was trying to use it to get her mind off something, her gaze was fixed on the basket containing jewels which still sat idly on the table, she watched as her daughter walked over to the table, gradually she kept taking glances at the dresses, they were so fine and looked pretty attractive, she looked away when her gaze met with that of Carmella, she didn’t want her to feel like she cared at all about the clothes, the jewels or even the wedding, Carmella noticed her mother gaze and sighed out loud feeling even more broken, she felt ex
Now she could finally feel a whole bundle of peace rushing in and out of her, at least she didn’t feel alone or abandoned anymore even though her mother have clearly shown her the red lights, even though Joshua have made it clear to her that her marriage to him was equivalent to she signing her own death warrant, but what could she do when she have already started the journey? This have always been what she wanted right from childhood and she wasn’t ready to turn it down now that it was at her door step, not for any threat in the world from either her mother or husband to be, she forced a smile on her face staring at Azora who seemed to be in her home, the background from the mirror proves so though she wondered why it took her so long to confront her, she finally did was she was asked to do well without endangering herself or anyone else, she expected her to appear quick and congratulate her for a job well done or should be say a job partly done well, she is had a whole lot to do, fi
Azora shook her head wagging her finger across her face “not so fast Carmella, not so fast” she noticed Carmella grunt running her hands across her neck.“Does it hurt that much?” She arched her brow.Carmella looked up at her wondering what she was referring to “does what hurt?” She looked a little lost.Azora sighed “come on, I know what happened to you, I mean how you ended up with that bruises and wounds all over.”Carmella looked away “I don’t want to talk about it.”“You can get rid of her if you want to” Azora said.Carmella’s eyes widened “get rid of who?”Azora shrugged “your mother of course, it’s obvious that she isn’t in support of you or what you did and their is a million possibility that she would do everything in her power to ruin it, so instead of her destroying all your hard work don’t you think it’s best to get rid of her?” Carmella shook her head at once in fear struggling to stand on her feet “how can you give me such a horrible suggestion? I would never do anyth
Azora rolled her eyes in displeasure “bla…bla…bla… take a good look at yourself Carmella, your own mother turned you into her punch bag simply because you don’t agree with her, because you did what would bring you happiness, can’t you see how cruel she is? She would have killed you, trust me when she hits you again she wouldn’t leave you alive, what exactly do you think would become of you if she ever finds out the truth? You think she wouldn’t want to see your head hanging on a spike?” Carmella looked away confused for a moment, what was Azora actually referring to, what truth exactly? She turned to her “what truth are you referring to Azora?”“The truth about Diana, do you think your mother would want your life spared? Of course she won’t, infact she might end up killing you herself!” Azora said.Carmella gasped “stop saying such things, my mother isn’t like that, yes she might prefer one child to the other but that doesn’t mean she hates me that much.”“Really? What about now? You
Terry locked up behind bars, he sat at a corner mumbling in rage while feeling totally abandoned, he couldn’t describe the rage that burnt in his heart at that moment, how could the queen do this to him? What exactly have he done wrong other than say the truth? He buried his head in between his legs for a moment while still sitting at that corner, his eyes looked blood shot from complied rage, he wished at this moment that he could stand up to the queen and give her a piece of his mind but that would equally mean signing his death warrant for no one dares stand up against the queen, the only person whom he had seen do that countless times and yet get away with it was the king, well he always got away with it because he was the king and equally her son else she would have had him roasted alive. A lot of times Terry have tried to force himself to believe that the queen wasn’t cruel, she was rather trying to dominate everyone and everything around her, she was equally trying to make sure
Queen Emma looked up at Terry, seeing him sitting like a complete outcast and animal behind bars made her heart gladden, it gave her that feeling of superiority, she felt equally proud of herself and was glad that she was able to take the bull by the horn and send him down here despite her son’s presence, she as scared that the king must have gotten him out already but seeing that he was still there was a prove that her son still respected and feared her, well who doesn’t actually fear her in this kingdom, she sighed out loud, their were just two of them, one she have gotten rid of and the other was Zara, she is equally afraid of Zara, not just because she doesn’t fear but because of her strength and what she was capable of doing with it, she sneered for a moment taking a deep sigh while pinching the tip of her nose with her finger, she shook her head in discomfort “you thought you could turn my son against me by telling him what we discussed isn’t it? What a big fool you were” the qu
Queen Emma dragged her feet with so much confidence while walking down the hall way, her shoulders raised with pride and her eyes filled with so much delight, earlier she had gotten scared that her son must have gotten Terry out of the dungeon thereby disrespecting her so she decided to go down there and check for herself, seeing Terry remain behind close bars made her feel really at peace with herself, finally she still had some faith in the fact that she still had an upper hand over her son, she just wanted Joshua to be the son that listens to her without objecting to her rules or regulations, she wanted to be in charge of his life and decide almost everything he does, from what he eats to what he wears forgetting that her son is no longer a kid, he is a full grown man and currently the king of the people therefore he has the right to make decisions on his own, but his mother have refused bluntly to accept that. She kept walking down the hallway when she was stopped by one of the se
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
