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’s eyes widened, she glared at her mother looking shocked, she could hear her heart beat rising slowly as she took an unnoticed step backwards. Zara saw the look on her face and that encouraged her to say even more “yes… you sound so sure that she truly didn’t love us and willingly eloped with the human, you weren’t even there to know what actually happened or were you? Did Diana tell you about her plans to elope with a human and you concealed it?” Carmella gasped “mother what are you saying? How could you ever think of such a horrible thing? You know I have always wanted the good of this clan, so why on earth would Diana say such thing about wanting to elope with a human and I would keep quiet about it?” Zara chortled “who doesn’t know how desperate you are to get married to Joshua?” Carmella looked away, well her mother was right this time
“You are supposed to be proud of me mother, you should be proud that I am doing my duty as an alpha, my sister failed to do hers and eloped with a human, understand that and know peace, but I have refused to be like her, I don’t care about whatever you think of my decision to marry Joshua but nobody can stop that from happening, Diana made her choice and I have made mine, Joshua would come around sooner or later when he realizes that Diana is never coming back!” Carmella said with so much hatred in her eyes.Zara walked closer to her and yanked her by the elbow pulling her really hard “if you weren’t my child I would I done something horrible to you, why do you hate your sister this much?”Carmella winced in pain trying to force her elbow off her mother’s grip, her breath was sharp and quick as she continued to struggle “I don’t hate Diana, she is stil
