“How dare you?” The queen yelled with so much disgust written all over her face, she didn’t expect Leonna to say that, she just wanted a positive response already, for no reason did she expect Leonna to give her a negative response “how dare you try to procrastinate? I am giving you your own life on your hands and what to you want to do? Gamble with it? You think if Terry were in your shoes he would think twice about giving you up? You think he feels the same way you feel about him or what?” She burst into a loud laughter and this confused the young girl the more, queen Emma stood up and walked towards the window, she turned around and took a deep breath looking down at the young girl who have remained on her knees “listen to me Leonna, you would really be a fool to sacrifice your life for someone who feels nothing, I repeat, nothing at all for you” she shrugged while she watched Leonna look away thoughtfully “perhaps he must have told you he loved you or showed you that he does but h
Queen Emma with so much pride and fulfillment oozing from her ego she walked majestically into her room shutting the door behind, she had a deep grin at the end of her lips while she rolled her eyes in pleasure, she sighed out loud adjusting her clothes at the shoulder level “just like I know and I am so sure of it, she would and can never turn down my request, of course who dares to say no to the almighty queen of this land” she burst into loud laughter, she walked over to her bed and sat at the edge of it crossing her legs comfortably “I get and have whatever I want and no one, I repeat no one can stop me, Terry might have escaped my wrath now, he might have succeeded in making my son see me as a bad person, he might have succeeded in convincing my son to take my throne and crown from me if I refuse to do what he wants but he won’t be able to survive what’s about to hit him son” she smirked proudly “Terry by the time you realize what’s going on, it would be too late for you, even my
Leonna was totally speechless, what exactly could she say at this moment, she gently moved backwards turning away from Maria at once, her heart pounding really hard in her chest, how on earth was she to explain this? This was exactly what she was trying her very best to avoid, if only she knew that Maria would be at her door at such hour, she wouldn’t have tried to leave the room with the bottle of wine and glass cup, she kindly dropped both the bottle of wine and glass cup on the table and turning around, her gaze fixed on the floor while she waited for Maria to ask the numerous questions she had under her tongue, who wouldn’t turn inquisitive after seeing what she just saw.Maria gasped walking into the room, she shut the door behind taking a quick glance around the room “Leonna, what exactly is going on?” She asked almost in a whisper.The poor girl shook her head aggressively looking very scared, tears hanging in her eyes ready to drop at any minute, goodness she hated being found
Finally the day has ended and all servants gave retired to their various quarters, the entire palace looked very calm or should we say it has turned as cs as ice, the maidens who shared rooms whispered and gossiped in the darkness of their room over what transpired between the queen and Terry earlier in the day, most of them blamed Terry for being a talkactive, they accused him of wanting to find favour in the eyes of the king and finally turn the king against his own mother while the rest praised him for being honest and blamed the queen for hating Terry unnecessarily though they would never do this to her face for they feared for their dear lives and wouldn't want to be beheaded for anything in the world.Leonna in the brightness of her room all thanks to the queen who had earlier helped her turn on the lantern else she wondered how she would have successfully found the corner she had dropped the lantern, she was still caught in Maria's web, the pressure was really getting much but
The day seemed to have gone darker quickly, perhaps because of the heavy down pour which have left everywhere looking deserted and wet, puddles could be seen in the dark compound of the palace though a lantern was placed at each corner of it but that didn't stop the night from showing it's true nature, Joshua gradually walked down to Terry's room with both of his hands placed comfortably behind him, he seemed more worried than usual, both disappointment and fear could be visibly seen written all over his face, he feared that Terry might have lost the confidence he has in him as a friend and equally the trust, the fear that his mother have finally succeeded in turning them against each other was gradually taking the best of him and he couldn't deny how helpless he was feeling with each second that swept by, he sighed out loud swallowing every pride in him as he hace decided to apologize to Terry if that is the price he has to pay for them to sort things between them.Terry couldn't get
Joshua nodded "we might not have come from the same womb nor fed on the same breast milk but that doesn't mean we aren't family."Terry laughed out loud shaking his head "you know what Joshua? I stopped believing in this brotherhood of a thing you keep talking about the very moment you allowed me spend more than an hour in that dirty place, what the hell do you and your mother take me for? A puppet you can toil with? Your mother have made it clear that my stay in this palace irritates her, she have always treated me with so much hatred even when I was a kid and all I have done is obey every word she says and remain loyal to her yet she sees me as a bad werewolf, we aren't going brothers and we can never be, you know that so stop trying to play these mind games on me, a mother would never do to her son what your mother the queen did to me today, she wants me dead, can't you see it?"Joshua shook his head at once "my mother might not treat you right but I am sure she would never wish yo
Rose halted her car in front of a massive mall, it was the fine garage meant for the classy citizens of the mighty city, it was regarded as the garage and mall meant for the rich and mighty cause only expensive cars could be seen driving in and out of the mall. Rose have always wanted to be in that class, all thanks to Charles who have assisted her in the past in purchasing one of the most expensive cars in towns, she loved luxury and enjoyed every bit of it, she gradually stepped down from the car, her eyes covered with a sun shed and her hand comfortably carrying an expensive red handbag, these days red seemed to be her favourite colour, she chortled at the sight of other cars in the garage and proudly praising herself for coming up that level, she shrugged at the thought of the fact that her plans of owning the Clifford family's wealth might never come to pass, after all the documents proving ownership properties have been missing, Charles thinks she has it but she was so sure that
Tears couldn't stop wetting her pale cheeks, her eyes clouded with pain and her body shivering with fear of loosing everything she have ever worked hard for, right from the very day she met her fiance, she have considered him payment for her hard work and good behaviour, she could recall the kind words her grand mother have always said to her when she was younger, she was actually raised by her after the death of her beloved parents, they actually died in a car accident on their anniversary, it was truly a horrible news for her as she was just embracing her teenage age when the incident occured, her grand mother have always told her that she would get married to a man who loves her and adored her and she would equally love him, it was more like she pouring blessings on her for being a good grand daughter and taking care of her especially after she got too old to do most things by herself, she shook her head in disbelief wondering why Michael quickly bought what Rose had said and didn'
