WHO POISONED HER!?"I want you to send this letter to Beatrice immediately. Tell her it's from Arbedour Park. It should be the reply they've been waiting for. Hurry up" King Levi orders a guard. "Yes my lord. I'll be back in a jiffy" he collects the paper and walks out.He didn't read the first letter since ot had been from his sister. He also didn't read this because he felt it was the reply to what they had sent."I hope it is good news and her marriage went well. I wish her a healthy marriage" he sighs at the thought of losing one of his people to Devon.He and Devon were enemies who prided themselves in killing their people. Levi was happy that he had won this round at least Avery was saved. He retreated into his inner chambers."Thank you so much. My regards to Levi. I'll see him some other time" Beatrice says to the guard whom Levi sent. A maid had welcomed him into the house. She had lost all hopes that they would receive anything from Arbedour Park. Since it had taken a whole
IT IS DANIKA!"Good day" Reginald stands up from the dining table in a sulk. Beatrice sighs. She doesn't have the strength to start another argument with him this morning. She would rather watch how it goes. He strides out of the parlor. Since yesterday when the news about Avery got to him, he had kept mum and refused to say anything to Beatrice.He hopes that nothing will happen to her. Reginald ascends the stairs up into his room to read a book so he can keep himself busy for the meantime. However he meets Danika coming out of her in a coat. He pauses to ask her where's she's off to. Since Phillipa had caught her at their door, he had his suspicions about her but he kept them to himself. Moreover, she didn't give anything away to make him suspect her further."Where are you off to,Danika?" He asks her. "Good morning my lord" she curtsies before him."Morning," he replies while still waiting for his answer."I have to see my cousin. He fell ill last week" Danika says wondering why
IT IS LEFT TO AVERY NOW."I'm done my lord,"the physician bows before Alpha Devon. "Welldone You spent a really long time in there, is her situation improved?" He asks.The physician had stayed overnight to attend to Avery's critical condition. "I tried my best to evacuate some of the poison from her system. However, some had seeped into her body" he says in a morose tone. He is trying not to break the news to them subtly. Nicholas enters when he's about to add more. Je bows to him also. Nicholas takes his seat. "Is she ok?" He looks concerned."We were just discussing right now, he says the poison has entered into her system" alpha Devon tells Nicholas who is tense. She had been like that for a day."So what are you saying please? There's still posion in her skin?" He asks "Yes," the physician affirmed. "So how do we get it out?,t's dangerous to her" Nicholas adjusts on the chair in discomfort."The only way the poison can come out is if she vomits. And for her to do that she has to
AVERY WAKES UPAvery's POVThis place is dark but I love it. It's much more better than where I was coming from. No hurt, no pain, nothing at all. Just silence. I don't want to do back.Suddenly I hear a voice. "You can't die yet. you can't die yet, you still have some missions to complete. Go back" the voice says."Mission? What mission? If my mission is to suffer, I might as well remain here," I reply. "No you can't, your mission will be unveiled in due time. For now, you must leave here." The voice replies."They do not treat me well over there. No one misses me and I miss my family but I'm being tied to a man who hates me. The sight of me disgusts him so much. I don't want to suffer any more," I argue.Only if Nicholas could treat me so well or take me back home but that was a wish. We had been destined to be enemies forever. Nothing like that could happen.I hope they allow me stay here. "You have to suffer a bit but soon you will be happy. Now, go back" the voice commands. I ope
RELIEFNicholas's POVI am in my room pacing all around thinking of what to do. If Wahika couldn't figure out a solution for her who would?My mind races. I don't know what to do again. I am in a fix. My father acts like he wishes we have found a solution but deep down, i know he doesn't like her.Since the incidence father and mother have lost complete trust in her. Will they ever like her? That is by the way, whenever she wakes up, we can sort that part out but she hasn't woken up.I ram my fists on the wall in frustration. What do i do while i wait? What am i even waiting for? I feel so useless unable to do anything for her. I rack my head for a solution as I rove my hands through ny thick already tousled hair.Wahika already to came to check her out and she left with the same statement the physician left with. I was expecting more from her since she ordained the marriage.At this point, a part of me can't help but believe that father's words might be partially true. What if this
HAPPINESSAvery's POV"Can i get the letter back?" I ask him when he gets back. Now i have found my voice. It was so hard speaking after the vomit. My stomach twisted in knots."Aren't you even going to ask what happened to you?" Nicholas's face creases at my question. I hadn't even thought of that possibility. I just thought i was sick because of the wedding stress and what i ate at the wedding."Is that all you want to ask about? You were almost dead!" He raises his tone a bit. My face creases in confusion, why is he that angry? It's just a question. I wondered what poison must have rendered me almost lifeless for days."What happened?" I ask in a low tone. I'd have asked if i wasn't too excited to get my hands on the letter. He wouldn't understand because he isn't the one who had cut ties with his family for the past eight months.I was a stranger here in this land. That letter was the thing that connected me back to my family. Would he understand? No."Your family poisoned you," h
WHAT IS MY MISSIONAvery's POVI roll on the bed waiting for Nicholas to come for the letter. I had thought hard on what to write to my father. I didn't know what to say because one paper wouldn't be enough to say what I want.Even a book would not do. However, I ask him how's feeling, about his health and everyone over there. Then I end it with a I miss you.I truly miss them. You can never know how much you'd miss your close ones until you get separated from them. By then it would be too late, just like it was now.I am perusing the letter when Nicholas knocks on my door. He retrieves the letter from me and looks at me suspiciously.As if he doesn't trust me. Maybe he thinks I'd do something rash. I am not so stupid. He opens the letter and reads it.I see his eyes flip over every line. It's like he's searching for something. Something little that would give me away. I am grateful for the opportunity he gave me to do this. His father would be angry if he ever got to know.Nicholas
PLAN RUINED"We have a letter from Blessingstoke," Beatrice strides into Reginald's room after he opened up for her."Another letter?" Reginald's eyes widen. He's surprised that there's a letter from Blessingstoke. "Don't be alarmed, it's from Avery," Beatrice sighs abd plops on the bed. She stretches her hand to give him the letter."Avery? Is she now alright?" Reginald asks in excitement. He doesn't even wait for an answer. He collects the letter and opens it immediately. He can't wait to see what Avery wrote in there.If she truly wrote the letter, he'd know. He'd also be very happy because his daughter had escaped death.He sits on the bed and proceeds to read the letter.The writing is Avery's. He knows how she writes. Reginald's eyes water as he reads it. He can't control his joy at the news. He had thought something bad would happen to her before they could save. Since they also didn't send a letter to them to update them on Avery's critical state because they must have though
