Terry behind those bars could feel his legs growing really cold, his hands have turned to strong ice as he could barely feel his toes, he shut his eyes tight gritting his teeth fit few seconds like a women in labour, his eyes rolled in confusion as he wondered how much longer he would remain trapped behind those bars, perhaps forever if care is not taken, he has been there for few hours but it just felt like he have been there for years, he wondered how much longer he could stand this cold, he ran his cold hands on his hair, rubbing them on his face over and over again, he found barely feel his fingers now, he quietly moved his hand to his shoulder putting them across his chest, he took a deep breath praying silently in his heart that a miracle happens sooner or later else he didn’t know how much longer he could stand the cold. The roofs continued to leak, who on earth ever thinks of fixing the leaking roof in the dungeon, after all they believed prisoners don’t deserve to be taken ca
The queen nodded her head, her heart was boiling badly with rage at that moment, he dared to challenge her seemed like a hard pill for her to swallow, of everyone who she expects to talk back at her, certainly not Terry who have been made an enemy to her even before his birth. She turned to Maria who’s eyes had widened out of fear and anxiety, she was trying so hard to protect Terry from the queen’s wrath and equally trying to protect the queen from bathe king’s wrath but with the way things were turning out with every second that swept by she wondered if either of them understands what they stand to loose if they don’t keep their differences aside and go their separate ways, if she were to be asked she would advice both the queen and Terry to avoid each other despite living together in the palace but how possible would that be since they would always see each other? After all Terry is always with the king following him to every nook or cranny he enters, she turned to the queen and wa
“Open the doors..” the queen ordered staring straight at Terry’s face, no one could tell exactly what was going through her mind but the look on her face didn’t spell good at all, it rather spelt danger, Terry could feel it too, it was impossible for the queen to let him go freely once he was done saying those words to her, her hatred for him seemed to have increased, the queen had no atom of sympathy towards Terry, it seemed that she rather which each second that have ever swept by in life, her hatred for him is doubled and the only thing she could wish so badly for him was his death “I said open the doors!” The queen yelled again, her hands vibrating with anger.The guards with a rush hurried to the cell doors ready to open it, whatever that was going through the queen’s mind at that moment is unknown to either of them but what do they care? What matters most to them is that they don’t find themselves in the wrong side of the queen and eventually end up in the same mess just like Te
Queen’s Emma’s heart couldn’t stop boiling with rage while she paced her chambers like a wounded lion, her eyes filled with rage and her hands vibrating like a woman who had lost her most priceless jewelry, she just couldn’t believe that she finally succumbed to her son’s threat, she couldn’t believe that Joshua was actually serious with his threat else why would he come down to the dungeon to ensure that she actually got Terry out, she rolled her eyes in displeasure turning to Maria who stood uncomfortably behind her with both of her hands folded properly, she looked up at the queen and finally looked away, what could she say other than to console her and let her know that she isn’t alone even though she feels so.The queen scoffed, she ran her hands restlessly through her hair, she moved over to an arm chair and sat shaking her legs over and over again “can you believe it Maria? My own son actually wanted to carry out his threat, he actually meant every word he said to me earlier, h
Maria hurried down the hallway looking totally perplexed, she could feel deep down in her heart that the queen would surely not let this slide easily without a fight, she hated the feeling of humiliation and this is exactly the way Terry have made her feel, the clouds have gone totally dark, it haven’t stopped raining, the clouds rather grew heavier with the down pour of rain, one would only wonder if it was the end of the world, Maria without hesitation arrived at the servant’s chambers and got into her room, she shut the door behind taking a deep breath with both of her hands placed restlessly on her chest, she sighed out loud scooting to a short stool sitting very close to her single bed, she sat on it with her hand placed under her jaw, she shook her head bitterly. She have spent her entire life serving the royal family, she literally knows every single thing about queen Emma including the deepest secrets of the palace, she was there when Terry was born and she helped ease him, y
Maria chortled when she saw the look on Leonna’s face, it was surprise mixed with anxiety and fear, she fixed her stare on Maria for a while with her mind bubbling deep with thoughts of what and what Maria might have noticed to have pushed her into dwelling in such thoughts or perhaps pushing forward to inquire from her, she shook her head in fear feeling totally in shock, she didn’t even know what to say or what to respond with apart from the fact that whatever that is going on in her mind is totally wrong, she wondered who else thinks something is going on between them apart from Maria, she forced a smile on her already pale face and sighed out loud repeating what she had said before “nothing is going on.”Maria smiled “I hope so, you know exactly what would become of you and Terry if the queen finds out that something is going on? No one in the palace can date anyone inside this palace, it is a taboo and as such considered an abomination” she said looking straight at her face.Leon
“I would go serve Terry his soup now, I am sure he must be super hungry” she said trying to forget what she had just discussed with Maria and focus more on the good news, the exciting part of Terry being out of dungeon when she had already given up.Maria nodded “alright, I would see you later.”Leonna forced a smile on her face nodding her head abruptly, she left the room in a hurry shutting the door behind to avoid further questioning by Maria, she took a deep sigh with both of her hands placed on her chest while she walked down the hall way, she shook her head sadly when she admitted to herself that she wasn’t being honest, she just couldn’t help but lie just to save herself from whatever that might be the result of her dying love for Terry, she sighed out loud wondering when she got to that position, falling in love with Terry was never the plan neither did she dream of something like that, she just wanted to have a roof over her head and since it has become her duty to serve in t
“Wait!” Terry said stopping her.Leonna halted at that moment “I am in bug trouble, what were you thinking Leonna” she thought quietly to herself grabbing tight on the tray in her hands.Terry walked up to her.She could feel him right behind her, his shadow over hers and his gaze fixed on her, she shut her eyes praying in her heart that the gods save her.“Turn around…” Terry said almost as a command.Leonna gulped hard and gently turned around facing the young fine man standing in front of her.“For how long have you been standing here? And… what exactly do you mean by you didn’t see anything?” He arched his brow waiting for her response.Leonna froze for few seconds staring at him, she was totally speechless and couldn’t tell which word was right to begin with and the one to end with, what was she to say? Lie or what? “I… I… just got here.”“Then why did you say you didn’t see anything? Did anyone say you saw something before?” He asked walking closer to her.Leonna took a step bac
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
