Melanie's eyes looked red and pale, she could feel a slight lightness on her head like one who was having a hangover even though she had no alcohol in her body system.
She sat up on the bed rubbing her eyes for a couple of seconds, the knocks continued making it impossible for her to neglect.
Melanie tried to stand, struggling to lift her feet and get them into her pair of slippers which was lying carelessly close to the bed, but she staggered and fell back on the bed. She took a deep sigh knowing her nerves are failing her, who wouldn't feel so exhausted after having such a long day? Her eyes were still slightly open and her vision pretty blur. The knocks didn't stop, she scoffed in despair feeling totally disturbed by the constant noises coming down stairs.
Suddenly a male voice started calling out to her, she ignored it at first but it really helped getting that sleepy feeling off her a little bit, should she call this being lazy cause and little stop of the
Charles kept calling and was really getting so pissed off when Rose wasn't making attempts to pick his calls "pick the damn phone Rose" he yelled in anger gritting on his teeth and tongue wishing he was there to smack her so she would get up that instance.Rose couldn't bear it anymore when the phone wouldn't stop ringing, she took the pillow over her head off tossing it across the bed, she slowly sat up on her bed wearing a deep frown on her face while she moved her hands with her eyes still shut trying to locate wherever the phone was, unfortunately she couldn't... slowly she opened her eyes gasping in anger."Who the hell is calling me now? Can't I have a little rest?" She cried out looking even more upset, she finally grabbed the phone and gaped on seeing it what Charles calling "what the heck?" She thought aloud looking bewildered, she wondered what was happening, perhaps Melanie was still mad and was making the house uncomfortable for him.She picked the c
He could feel his ankles ache and he wrists weren't left out, well the day has been one hell of a thing for him and it wasn't over yet, he wondered if it would be as he knew how much he needed to catch enough sleep, he understood that he could only feel at peace when it's dawn, of course by then Melanie would be as good as new, forgetting her entire past and would solely depend on him to remind her of who she was, he grinned at the thought of that exposing his white set of teeth.Charles gently sat on the bed pulling off his shoes, he wanted to give his legs some space to breath as the only time his legs have been out of it was when he made love with Rose, &
Charles was getting quite impatient while waiting for Melanie in their bedroom, it was past midnight and he wondered what she was still doing downstairs, his eyes were getting weaker, he really needed some sleep but not without talking to Melanie first, at least so he could sleep soundly without having to wakeup at intervals and end up sleeping at work all through the next day.He got out of the room and found his way downstairs, the living room and kitchen looked so quiet, he gasped a bit running his hands through his hair "she isn't here? Then where is she?" He thought looking worried, not necessarily because he cared about Melanie but rather he was concer
Melanie walked into the room wearing a straight face, Charles followed behind almost counting his steps. He had his hands wrapped behind him though his head was filled with a lot of thoughts of his heart clouded with a million uncertainty. Charles shut the door behind as he slowly leaned on it staring at his wife who gently moved over to a wooden chair and sat quietly wrapping her hands across her chest, she didn't look like she really wanted to hear whatever he wanted to say, she sighed rolling her eyes. She was sure he wanted to apologize or perhaps make excuses for his so many irresponsible attitude though she couldn't remember any of them, slowly she looked away fixing her gaze at the slightly opened window, their was a smooth breeze penetrating through it as the curtains couldn't stop moving along side with it. Melanie rubbed her hand under her jaw while paying attention to the silence that engulfed th
The sun was gradually rising from the east, kissing stones at the beach with water rushing forth to minimize the heat from the sun.Birds were awake, singing melodiously from the tree tops making it impossible for anyone to remain asleep.Their was a tree very close to Brenda's window, well she actually enjoying hearing the birds sing at the early hours of the morning, that alone gave her hope of a better future and help subside her raging heart and of course her daily coldness towards school.Melanie found herself rolling from one side of the bed to the other, the bed was quite small and she felt so uncomfortable on it.She froze for a moment with her body straight and upward, slowly she opened her eyes blinking them with so much difficulty, they were all swollen due to her unstoppable crying all through the night.Stretching and yawning have become a normal routine for her everyone morning, she sat up on the small bed, stretching her slim body wh
Brenda turned to the door, she knew it must be her father, though she didn't like him at all but for the first time in a long time she was glad that he showed up at her door cause she was getting horribly sad which each second her mother gazed at her like she was a complete stranger.She quickly moved over to the door and unlocked it, Charles stepped in looking down at her with a handsome smile "you look all dressed up already."Brenda nodded slightly, she took a glance at her mother hoping her father could do something about her confused state, Charles followed her gaze and sighed at the sight of Melanie, she truly looked so lost.He walked straight to her and took a deep breath."Who are you?" Melanie asked looking a little scared."Oh please Melanie, don't just start this morning, I am your husband, she is your daughter" he said pointing at Brenda who stood close to the door staring at her parents "you actually don't remember whatsoever that hap
Joshua stood there longer, his thoughts getting drained with how miserable his life have become after the disappearance of his wife Diana and the worse of all is finally finding her only living under the roof of a human whom she birthed two children for.He gritted his teeth in anger and looked away running his hands through his forehead, he could still recall how he had killed her son, it hurted him that he had to inflict such pain to an innocent child who knows nothing but he just couldn't control his anger, he shook his head in aggression peering at nothing in particular as he slowly turned his back away from the mansion and sat on a tree branch that had fallen few days back.Joshua took a deep breath, all he could ever think about was Diana, she has been the one on his mind ever since he set his eyes on her, his mother had advised him to forget about her and get married to Carmella but Terry was in love with this very woman and he wasn't, he bit on his lower lips a
Carmella was sitting gently in front of her mirror combing her hair, all night she have been drained in thoughts on how to get rid of Diana permanently and have Joshua all to herself, she knew very well that so far as Diana was still breathing, Joshua would never think of marrying her or anyone else in the clan, she blinked her eyes severally "damn Diana, she should have just died the first time" she muttered sadly standing on her feet.Her door slowly creaked open, she turned around and gasped at the sight of her mother "I thought you left already?" She looked suprised."I almost did but Joshua is here to see you" she informed.Carmella's eyes grew wide "really? Did he tell you why he wanted to see me?" She asked feeling very nervous.Zara shook her head "you possibly do not expect me to ask him that, do you?"Carmella was lost in her own thoughts for a while, she finally swallowed hard blinking her eyes severally "it's fine mother, whatever
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
