Joshua had a deep frown on his face, his eyes were on his feet with his hands placed comfortably behind him while he walked into the quiet compound, the thought of Carmella looking so unkept got him thinking a lot, he couldn’t help but wonder what happened to her as he hoped that she was okay and maybe he could apologize for being rude to her the previous day.
Joshua nodded, gently he moved over to a chair in the room and sat comfortably on it.For a while the room was clouded with silence, Emma was waiting for him to say something, she wanted him to tell her how it all went with Zara but Joshua remained silent. She couldn’t stand it anymore as her ears were really itching to hear it all.Joshua relaxed on the chair stretching his legs when he heard his mother clear her throat, he turned to her knowing she was about to say something.“So…. How did it go?” She asked pulling out from the bed while sitting at the edge of it, old age was already telling on her and her hearing was beginning to default.“Oh… everything went well with Zara” he answered.Emma rubbed her hand behind her neck, that wasn’t what sh
“If that is the way you want to put it then that is it mother, I would not give up on Diana just like that, I believe she was bewitched and I can’t wait to prove you all wrong, she couldn’t have left just like that, think about it mother” he said with so much seriousness.Emma stood on her feet at once “have you lost your sense of reasoning Joshua? What exactly has come over you? You are willing to risk your safety, that of Zara and the entire clan to go out to the human world and do what exactly? Why can’t you just forget about this Diana of a girl and marry Carmella?”“Mother allow me do what I want, allow me clear my doubts” he stood on his feet as well.“Did you just say clear your doubts? Did you hear yourself talk at all? How could you even think of putting your mother in law’s life at risk all bec
Emma was shocked to hear him say that “what are you talking about? I might not have liked her as much as I liked you to marry Carmella but that doesn’t mean I hated her, I was only saying that she was too young for you.”He arched his brow “really? And that was why you snub her most times when she greets you?”“Joshua, what are you even saying? I never hated Diana, why are you trying to turn the table around?” She asked sounding totally lost.“Let me do things the way I want, allow me make my decisions myself and stop trying to force me to do what you want mother, I am not a kid!” He stormed out of the room leaving Emma looking totally confused and upset.Emma sat back on her bed, she couldn’t utter a single word, she grabbed the edge of the sheets on the bed squeezing them
The sun was gradually moving into the sky as it poured out its heavy rays making it impossible for one to walk under it, Zara stood watching in awe, Emma and Maria were the last people she expected to see in her house at that quiet hour of the day.Without hesitation she hurried off moving closer, she quietly dropped the container rubbing her hands on her dress, Maria was about to knock on the door when Emma stopped her, she had heard footsteps and turned around to notice it was Zara.Emma’s face didn’t look bright at all, Zara could tell but she couldn’t help but wonder what must have made her leave the comfort of her home just to see her at that hour.Zara smiled “my lady, I wasn’t expecting to see you today.”Emma chortled “you weren’t?”Zara nodded abruptly feeling a little confused &l
Now Zara couldn’t stand it anymore “did you just say you aren’t done talking? Who even said you have been talking all these while Emma? You were rather yelling? Do I in any way look like one of your servants you can talk to as you so wish?” “You are my subject Zara and I expect you to listen to me!” Emma cautioned. “Your subject yes I know but don’t you dare forget that you are still in that seat because of me and my husband, mind your language with me Emma” Zara warned. Emma chortled “so what are you going to do? Fight me for telling you the truth? I begged you to talk to my son, I pleaded with you to convince him to forget about Diana and marry Carmella but you rather went ahead to strike a stupid deal with him, you are a mother Zara, why can’t you just act like one for goodness sake?” “You h
Tears were flowing out of her eyes, she has been trying so hard to withhold it from falling, it has been a while since she last cried like that over the disappearance of her daughter, Diana was still her child and she couldn’t deny the fact that she misses her and really wanted to see her and perhaps hear her own side of the story.Emma was silent for a while, she had totally lost her voice, yes she knew Zara was right with her words but how could she stand and watch what she had fought to gain for years slip away all because of her son’s carelessness? She wasn’t willing to give up on Joshua and keep her fingers crossed and watch everything burn down to ashes, she turned to Zara “so you are willing to risk your life, so go out there into the human world, to go out there to see a girl who turned her back on her clan simply because you want to help Joshua prove a point?”&ldquo
Emma gulped hard trying to force her grip off Zara’s, of course Zara was way stronger than she was and she knew it “let go Zara…” she said in a mild tone.”“Allow us do what we agreed to do, I won’t ask nicely again” Zara said.Emma winced again, the pain in her arm was increasing as Zara kept tightening her grip on it “fine! Fine! Just do as you wish but you would still say I told you, you would still say I warned you about this madness you’re trying to venture into, just make sure not to get yourself and my son killed.”Zara left hold of her hand “now you have spoken like a mother.”Emma glared at her “I would take my leave now… I just hope you know what you are doing Zara” she went straight for the door and unlocked it.
It was almost evening, Carmella stepped outside stretching her hands with her hands raised far above her ahead, she had an awkward smile on her face as she took a deep breath.It has been ours since Emma came to pay them a visit that she believed didn’t go well at all, though she have tried her best to shrug of the thoughts of what must have transpired between Emma and her mother, it didn’t seem to want to varnish from her memory, it was more like those thoughts have built a home in her mind.She looked up, she could see birds flying back to their nest “I can’t believe the day is almost coming to an end” she mumbled with her hands rubbing her cheek.Carmella heard a noise behind, the door to the house was still widely open while she stood in front of it, she turned around and of course it was her mother who didn’t look too happy nor sad, she just had that long fac
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
