“My queen, you’re finally up, I was about coming up to your room to wake you up, I am sure you’re wondering who I am, let me safe you the stress my queen, I am your beloved husband Charles, the only man who loves you so much and we have a daughter but she’s fast asleep, come… I would make you breakfast now as usual, today would be a long day for us” he said inviting her downstairs to the dining table.Melanie was short of words, Charles was truly an example of a green snake under green grass, she couldn’t believe he could be able to put up such act easily even claiming that he always makes her breakfast, if only she could yell at him now and tell him to his face that he was cruel and heartless but that would only end up turning her plans upside and ruining everything completely and she couldn’t afford for either of that to happen, she have come too far to allow failure creep in at this time, she forced a smile on her pale cheeks, it was clearly obvious that she just got out of bed, ge
Her head shook continuously with so much disbelief, the same man whom almost turned her into a punching bag the previous day, the same time who have made hating and ruining her life his major priority, the same man who treats her like a slave and hates every single thing about her is equally the same one who have presented himself to be the best husband ever, she shook her head sadly folding both of her hands gently across her chest, she had her gaze glued to a landscape artwork hanging carefully at the wall beautifying the room with its beauty, she sighed out loud at the thought of how ridiculous Charles was that one would never consider him capable of what he was doing, she felt terrible for her daughter who have lived with such a cruel man for so long, she wondered what might have happened in the past that she didn’t remember, it was a miracle that her daughter haven’t lost her mind to pain and anguish, tears crawled down to her cheek making way to her finely curved jaw, she heard
Charles had a cruel smirk at the end of his lips as he slowly found his way to his room, he could feel is heart bubbling with exictement as he just couldn't wait anymore to have Melanie sign away her inheritance to him after she must have signed it into her posession, he walked into his room nodding his head to the ryhthm of a song playing fom the meduim sized radio in his room, he picked up the package the young man had delieverd to him earlier in the day, he moved over to his bed and sat at the edge of it, his eys fed on the papers from page to page, the pride he felt at the width of his shouldes kne no bounds 'finally all the years i spent habouring that good for nothing woman under my roof would finally pay off and i would have it all, everything that ever belonged to the Clifford's family at my palm' he giggled scornfully standing on his feet while he quickly got ready to use the bathroom and get ready for his big day like he called it. In few minutes Charles was all dressed aft
She was runing out of patience, it is true that a saying that the patient dog eats the fattest bone exists, she truly doubted if that would be the case if Joshua eventually carries out his threat of ensuring that he brings Diana back to the kingdom, she knew that her return meant nothing but doom for her and she just couldn't afford to let any of that happen, she smirked feeling so much pride within her that finally she was able to get him to marry her, she was glad that after all she listened to Azora and did exactly what she had instructed her to do, the day had started off freh and beautiful for her though she woke up with a shock after having a terrible nightmare the previous night,Joshua had brough Diana back and the next minute she was chasing her with a dagger in her right hand, she actually thought it was reality until she woke up sweating previously and found herslf in her bed, she paced her room thinking deeply about the dream while she wondered what Azora would have her do
Zara looked totally shocked, it seemed more like she have been stabbed over and over again in the chest, she glared at the queen with so much anger boiling in her chest, she rubbed her hands on her cheeks, she could feel a burning sensation radiating on her cheeks, her heart grew so heavy that she could barely say a word, she ran her hands across her eyes wiping the tears finding it's way down her cheeks, she just couldn't believe what just happened, she turned away taking a deep breath while trying her very best to control her rage, she knew she was at the verge of unleashing her fury on the queen without holding back but she knew that would only leave her in deep trouble but how could she let the queen go like that after she humiliated her, she could recall that she was stringer than she was, the only difference is that she found favour in the sight of the late king and was crowned the queen of the land, she glared at her daughter and equally Maria who were praying deep in their hea
Carmella staggered almost being swept off her feet by the force the heavy slap came with, her eyes grew too wise and she noticed some liquids dripping from the ends of her mouth which made her feel a little frightened, on a second thought she guessed that it might be saliva that have found it’s way out of her well curved mouth, she moved her hands to her lips and shivered in shock taking a step backwards, it was actually blood, now she was equally feeling a slight pain on her lips, Zara glared at her feeling no remorse that she had hurt her daughter, she groaned with so much rage backing her voice while she continued fuming folding both of her hands ready to attack her again, Carmella was scared, she couldn’t deny that she knew exactly what her mother was capable of doing, at this point she deeply regrets getting involved in the first place or asking her mother any question, perhaps it would have been best if she remained behind the walls of her room, of what use was her coming out no
Zara fell on her knees and burst into tears feeling her heart being ripped out and sliced into pieces, she felt horrible about everything that have happened so far, she felt sorry for Joshua and equally for Diana wondering what would become of her when she finally returns and finds out that her sister have forced her way into the life of her husband, that surely would be something so painful, too hard to bear and understand. For a million reasons she strongly believes that it isn’t her fault that she suddenly got missing neither is it her fault that she doesn’t recognize them, seeing her few days back only made her believe that Joshua was right about not giving up and getting her back, she believes that is either the human hypnotized her or maybe bewitched her, she knew she brought up her daughter to be good, she nurtured her and Carmella wasn’t wrong when she said that Diana was the most preferred daughter, well that was because she is the one that listens and obeys unlike Carmella w
“My queen…” Leonna tried to say when the queen cut in at once.“Have you lost your mind Leonna? Are you crazy? How dare you speak when I haven’t told you to? What makes you think I was referring to you?” She asked.Leonna looked away, she just felt even more confused than she already was, she actually thought that the queen was referring to her little did she know that it was actually Carmella here who have set fire on her cheeks with just a slap, she didn’t even know if she should scream or just sob quietly cause she just didn’t understand what exactly she did to deserve such treatment, she could recall that she greeted her in the most polite way possible, why is she so suddenly concerned about been addressed as a princess or a queen when she isn’t even married to the king yet “I am sorry my queen” she bowed her head hoping she would be asked to leave at once cause she was so tired of standing there and watch Carmella insult her nonstop, she just hoped that the queen wouldn’t side he
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
