Selena's POV
I buried my face in my palm, crying my heart out.I was going to due, Stella was not ready to spare my life for anything in this world.I could I have been this stupid to think that Stella was my friend and she was truly my friend?I trusted her too much and then she plotted heavily against me.Anabelle have been dead for a long while now and I wasn't aware, my poor sister didn't even have anyone to mourn her.What have I done? I yelled hitting my hands on the wall in anger.I wanted to scream so loud.My heart was totally broken and I felt like I have lost everything including my only sister.I bowed my head in shame, my mother would be so disappointed in me anywhere she is at this point, I am a true embarrassment to big sisterhood.Now I understood why I had that weird dream the first time I came to Mr Chancy's house.I shook my head sadly, I wasn't really as smart as I thought I was.I allowed Mr Chancy andSelena's POVMy body was shaking nonstop, fear and confusion have taken over the best part of me.I sobbed in sadness while I remained in the cage like an animal just like the rest.My throats had grown dry, I was so hungry but I felt sorry for myself aswell.People didn't seem to care that we were in cages, they only passed us and someone only smiled in an unusual way at us.They were dressed in awkward manners, like in the 80's.I threw my face away, I felt so embarrassed to have people looking at me like that in such state.Suddenly I heard the loud blare of a trumpet.My eyes widened at once.I forgot that I was in a cage and tried to stand but ended up hitting my head on the cage.The people in the cage with me burst into laughter, that wasn't funny to me at once."Shut your dirty mouths up!" The man yelled again, he had thus fury in his eyes.The trumpet blared again.It wasn't a pleasant sound at all.I pla
She led me into a room.It was beautiful but not as the one in Mr Chancy's house but it was better off than the one in my old house.I stood by the door while she shut it.I looked up at her face, I realized that she was a servant in the palace.She smiled at me."Do you mind having a seat? I know you must be so exhausted and hungry" she said.She looked beautiful with her hair packed in pony tail.Well I noticed that most maidens that came with the queen to the market had their hair tied up in pony tail and they were dressed in shimmering clothes just like this maiden standing before me.I moved over to the seat and sat down.I couldn't deny that I was very much fidgeting.My hands and feet were constantly shaking.She smiled.She moved over to a pot made of gold and scooped out some water from it with a small cup.She walked up to me and handed it over to me.I looked up at her face.She nodded with a broad
Selena's POVIn few minutes I was done eating.I wiped my mouth with the napkin gulping down enough water down my throat.Everything in the tray tasted very delicious, it was more like the fruits had a different taste to the usual and normal tastes I know.Nina smiled at me."You are so good with food" she said.I gasped."I don't understand you..." I said.She smiled."I only meant that you like food" Nina answered.I rubbed my hands behind my neck nervously."I was only very hungry, I haven't eaten well in a long while now" I said.She nodded."It's okay Selena, I understand" she said."Let's go now, the queen awaits you" she said stepping out of the room.I followed her behind humbly with my hands comfortably placed in front of me just like she placed hers.She closed the room.I could see maidens dressed just like us walking up and down the hallway.I bowed my face staring down on the floor
Selena's POVThe queen cleared her throat.I looked up at her and noticed she was still looking at me.I lowered my gaze at once while I kept twisting my fingers on each other.I was so nervous and couldn't wait to leave her presence.I was feeling very stupid at this point cause I didn't know what to do and what not to do.Alot of things which were okay in my country was totally wrong in their Kingdom."Listen up Selena..." she said to me.I looked up at her."Keep your silly face down!" She thundered.I almost fell from my kneeling position as I trembled."You would be assigned to take care of my son's chambers with the other maidens down there, I want my son to be more comfortable and always have the best" she said.I was silent with my head still bowed."Now listen to me Selena..." she said.The way she called my name made me want to laugh, she stressed the last part of it like she wanted to sing with the name
Selena's POV"The prince??" I mumbled this thought in my head.My eyes were every where, I wanted to see this prince of their whom I have heard a lot about within a little space of time.He walked into the room.A silver haired tall young man.His skin was so white, as white as snow.I gasped with my hands on my chest.I clenched tight to the edge of my blouse.I couldn't move an inch from where I was.He was the most handsome man I have ever seen.I didn't realize that every one have gone on their knees.The prince was staring at me now.I couldn't control this feeling burning within me.My face broke into a soft smile."Why are you still standing?" He asked.I was far lost in my thoughts, drawn-out of my present environment.The girl beside me pulled me by the arm.I was startled.I looked around and fear gripped me.Everyone was on their knees except me.I went on my knees at once.
Selena's POVI was asleep when I heard a tap on my leg.It was quick but the hands felt soft.I opened my eyes slowly.I gasped shivering with fear as I sat up on my bed."No...! It can't be, Anabelle you are dead" I said fidgeting.She smiled walking few steps away from me then she turned around."Am I really dead?" She arched her brow."Stella told me you were dead" I said in tears.Anabelle walked closer "you forgot about me so soon and allowed me to die."Tears streamed down to my cheeks "I didn't allow you die Anabelle, Mr Chancy lied to me, I was deceived all these while..."She placed her hand on my cheek "I miss you Selena.""I miss you more Anabelle, I miss you so much but I am stuck here, I wish I could go back and avenge your death" I looked up at her face.She smiled shaking her head."I don't need you to avenge me, I want you to have peace" she said.I scoffed.More tears went down my face "
Stella smiled from chin to chin as she watch Louis sip a glass of juice.They were sitting in a beautiful restaurant."You love this place don't you?" Stella arched her brow.Louis nodded "it's nice place."Stella smiled.Louis took a glance at his wrist watch, it was 8:00pm and he wanted to get excort Maryann home from work, they have been dating for a month now.Stella noticed a mood swing from the way he looked disturbed."What is it?" She asked."I... need to go pick my girlfriend from her work place" he informed.Stella raised brows with her eyes fluttering."Your girlfriend??" She asked looking surprised."Yes... my girlfriend" he answered looking a little confused.Stella laughed."So what am I to you? Your sugar Mummy?" She asked.Louis scoffed looking confused."No you're not, we are friends Stella" he said."Are you nuts?" She yelled.Louis gaped."Wait a second... all these while I h
Stella parked her car in front of Louis's house.She took a deep sigh turning to Louis."Guess what??" Her eyes glittered.He shurgged "what exactly do you want me to guess?She scoffed."Why are you so stiff?" She asked."Stiff you say? I am not stiff Stella" he answered with a frown.She hissed "anyways whatever is getting you upset is non of my business."He rolled his eyes "I am glad you know...""Yeah... whatever" she leaned closer to kiss him.Louis made a smart shift.Her eyes widened."And what are you trying to do?" Louis asked almost yelling."Why are you screaming? I am only trying to kiss you goodnight" she explained."I don't need you to kiss me goodnight" he opened the car and stepped down.Stella looked baffled."What is wrong with you Louis?" She screamed in anger."Nothing is wrong with me, it's obvious that you have nothing important to say, I would see you whenever I see you" he s
After a few days the prince noticed Selena's absence in the palace but when he asked, his mother told him how she stole some gold and ran away but she have sent guards to look for her.This amazed the prince but he didn't seem to care about it.It was the tradition of their kingdom to spend a night with the bride on the night before the wedding day as the prince sat in his chambers with the princess who was dressed in a beautiful out fit.The prince smiled at her beauty and couldn't wait to have her.He watched the princess strip naked in front of him but his face broke into a sad expression when he noticed something weird on her body.The princess looked up at his face and noticed he wasn't pleased with her body."What is it my prince? Why do you look so sad?" She asked looking a little frightened.The prince shook his head and rubbed his hand on his eyes then he started pointing at her stomach."Where is it?" He asked.The princess took
The next day came...Louis grew even more nervous when Stella announced that Selena's personal assistant called and she would be having dinner in their house.Mr Chancy have been making an underground investigation about Selena which no one seems to be giving him the exact answers he wants.He grew very upset when he found out that the government have taken possession of Selena's house and demolished the house in it but their was nothing he could do or say about it since he was not legally married to Selena before she disappeared.He rubbed his hands in anxiety while sitting in the living room later that evening, for a moment he believed Stella was wise in trying to bring Selena closer to the family, he imagined the fact that he might be able to convince her to marry him which also gives him legal rights over her wealth.Mr Chancy was a greedy business man who always wants more but he would always say that if you want to be successful in business, you should
Mr Chancy was sitting in the living room having a cup of coffee when the news came up and he was shocked to see Selena on the television, he couldn't believe his eyes.Stella and Louis walked into the living room, they were all smiles as they had just returned from a dinner date, though their relationship was extremely toxic but they tried to pretend outside especially in front of the media."What am I seeing?" Mr Chancy yelled standing to his feet.Stella and Louis walked into in the living room in a hurry looking amazed to here him scream that way."What is it dad?" Stella asked without looking at the television.He pointed to the television looking away.Louis and Stella fixed their stare on the television and gasped."Selena... that's impossible" Stella mumbled in fear.She turned to her father "dad I don't think that's Selena, it can't be her."Her father gasped looking up at her "what do you mean? It's the same face and name."
Selena's POVMy heart is broken, completely shattered.I felt so weak as I wept deeply while doing the prince's laundry.I was done with the laundry and moved straight to my room.Nina was there sitting on a chair when I walked in.She saw the way I looked and stood up in amazement."What happened Selena?" She asked.I could see the terrified look in her eyes, my hair looked a little messed up.I didn't say a word to her I turned away to head to my bed when she stopped me."You're bleeding Selena" she said watching me.Of course I could barely walk well and she knew something have happened to me."Who did this to you Selena?" She cried out, tears soaked her face.I fell into her arms crying like a child."The prince raped me, he raped me" I said repeatedly.Nina was shocked but she held me tight rubbing my back trying to console me in between her own tears.It have been three months since I was raped like the
Yvonne's POVI became even more miserable seeing the prince grow more in love with Princess Avril with so much believe that she sacrificed her kidney for him.The way the princess took credit for my kindness was more irritating and she treated me with so much disdain.It was more like the hatred the princess had for me tripped after I donated my kidney to the princess.The queen did not even treat me any better, she would always remind me that it must remain a secret and if I should ever mention such to the prince, I would be beheaded.I know I have contemplated suicide most times, I know I hated my life but I believe it would be more honorable to end my life myself instead of having my head chopped off on a platter of gold, I decided to keep my mouth shut.The prince's hatred for me doubled and I became his worse enemy.The energy he invests in his anger if he sees me was enough to light a dead bulb, I wondered what the queen and the princess told
The princess arrived the queen's chambers as soon as she was called.Her maidens and bodyguards waited outside the chamber while she walked in to honor the queen's call.She bowed in front of the queen who pointed out to a seat and asked her to sit down.The princess obeyed and sat down quietly.The queen cleared her throat "you must have heard that the prince, my son was taken to the hospital today" she began.Princess Avril nodded "I asked to come to the hospital to pay my prince visit but I was told that you asked that I remain in the palace."The queen nodded.She didn't think it was right for every member of the royal family to abandon the palace and head to the hospital as a coup could easily be planned in their absence."I had my reasons princess Avril" she said.The princess nodded "I understand.""Princess Avril, the prince, your would be husband and future king is critically ill and would need a huge favour from you to surv
Selena's POVIt has been two years since I found myself in this mysterious island and palace, it has been two years since my kidnap got plotted by someone whom I grew so much trust in.It has been two years since I was sold to the queen of this kingdom whom valued gold more than human life, two years of being punished unjustly, two years of being treated like trash by the royal family.At first I thought the prince whom I have grown so much feelings for would be better off in character than his mother and his so called betrothed, but I was wrong after all, they were all the same, treating the servants like nothing cause they believed that they were far more better than us.Though the place was so local, I heard that they had a hospital located in the kingdom, most times I couldn't help but wonder how the hospital would look like, perhaps everything there might also be made of hold.At the early hours of every new month, the villagers brought offerings to the
Louis rolled his eyes in disgust "Oh please Maryann, don't be such a cry baby and get yourself out of here."Maryann's eyes rolled.A car horn started blaring outside.The big gate was control with a remote control so it was so easy to get it open.Thelma pressed on a button in the remote control and the gate opened.It was Stella.She drove in.Thelma pressed on a red button on the remote control and the gate closed at once.She had a warm smile on her face as she watched Stella alight from the car.Thelma giggled."Isn't my daughter in-law the most beautiful woman ever" she arched her brow.Stella walked up to her and hugged her "of course she is."Stella turned around and noticed Maryann standing there."And what is this thing doing here?" Stella asked glaring at Maryann.Louis shurgged "you mean this beggar? she has come to do what she knows how to do best... beg!"Stella giggled walking closer to Maryann
Louis was in shock, he didn't expect Maryann to attack him like that.At once he reached down to her hand which was already making a mess out of his neat shirt.He forced her hand out of his shirt and few buttons followed falling on the floor.Louis gasped on seeing this, it got him even more provoked.Thelma watched with her hands folded, she didnt say another word.Louis pushed Maryann who fell to the ground in tears.She had hurt her knee and they were bruised and bleeding badly.Louis didn't care about that, he was so angry that he wanted to insult Maryann.Maryann overlooked the bruise on her knee though she was staggering so much to stand.Her tears were still lingering out of her eyes, flowing down to her neck."I loved you Louis, why do you have to do this to me? Why do you have to choose that witch over me?" She yelled."Call her a witch one more time and I will cut your tounge out!" Louis threatened."You would do
