Joshua had just finished eating when he noticed Terry walking into the compound lost in his own thoughts, this bothered him as he have never seen him looking that way, all through this evening he had been very moody.
Joshua you knocked on my door like a criminal and barged into my room like a tout, what has gotten into you tonight or is their something wrong with the food?” She asked clearing her voice to summon the maidens who were in the kitchen.“Nothing was wrong with the food, I just don’t understand why my own mother would lie to me” he said glaring at her.“Joshua you are calling me a liar?” She looked shocked.“You told me that you didn’t or never confronted Terry about Carmella but you actually did, I told you that I have no interest in making Carmella my wife and she belongs to Terry, didn’t I?” His eyes widened.Emma was bewildered, she stood on her feet at once “what are you talking about? Did Terry say I confronted him?”“Mother you don’t have to keep deny
Emma froze for a second wondering if it was Joshua again, she was sure she couldn’t stand hearing him say more hurtful words to her.She swallowed hard blinking her eyes over and over again again.“Who is it?” She asked admits a crooked voice.“It’s me my lady” the voice answered.She took a deep sigh, it was Maria.“Come right in” she beckoned backing the door, she was fighting so hard to stop tears from leaving her eyes.For the first time in a long time Emma wished her husband was still alive as he would talk some sense into their son, she shook her head sadly wondering if her son knows exactly what he stands to loose if Terry marries Carmella instead of him since Diana had defiled their tradition and was no where close to them.
Joshua walked straight to his room, he locked the door and fell on his bed burying his face amongst the sheets while he sobbed like a child, he sobbed uncontrollably cursing the lady he lost Diana to the humans over and over again.“My mother has lost faith in you Diana, everyone has lost faith in you, I still believe in you, please just come back home and somehow we can fix all of this, I know their is always a way out of every mess” he mumbled dragging himself up.He found a bottle of alcohol sitting on a table, he grabbed it and gulped down a large quantity of it, he squeezed his face in difficulty and bit tight at the ends of her lips.Joshua could feel his head banging, at this moment he wished so hard that he could sleep and wake up only to realize that everything that happened was only a dream and Diana never left him for a human, the thought of Diana still in the house of the
Terry couldn’t sleep, he had successfully pulled off his clothes and had a cold shower hoping it would make his mood better, he turned from side to side growling over and over again.He sat up feeling every bit of anger rushing in him ”he how could he act so innocent making me look like an abandoned fool?” He thought aloud sitting up on his bed, deep within he knew that the tower of hatred towards Joshua was gradually building up.“I serve him with all loyalty yet one thing I asked of him, he just can’t do it for me, why can’t he just stay away from Carmella and give her a chance to fall in love with me too? Every woman in this clan wants him, just him, it’s always him” he hissed looking away.Suddenly he heard a loud bang on the door which startled him making his heart jump into his mouth, he wasn’t expecting anyone at his door at this late
“Your words were loud and clear to my ears queen mother” he answered bowing his head.“Did you just say my words?” Her eyes grew wide in fury, she slapped him before he could say a word.Terry was shocked, things were even more serious than he thought, the queen mother was known for her peaceful nature and as such have never hit anyone, this meant more than just a slap to him, it proves that the queen mother was truly very angry with him.He fell on his knees at once “pardon me queen mother, I am very sorry.”“I just gave you an order you moron and you have the guts to call that words? How dare you Terry? I brought you up behind the walls of this palace, when did you become this way?” She shook her head sadly “I hope it isn’t what I am thinking because if it is, you would be so sorry for yourself Terry&rdquo
“Where are you taking me to?” Carmella asked in fear when she found herself in front of a cave, it looked totally dark inside and she couldn’t deny how scared she was, she turned to Azora who looked supernaturally confident with a little smirk glittering from the end of her dark lips.Carmella stood beside her, she looked down at her hands, they were shaking with fear and anxiety “what if I made a horrible mistake by following this strange woman to God knows where?” She thought silently taking a quick glance around.The sky was already very dark, she could swear it was already mid night as the stars which were once gracing them with their light was gradually disappearing into the dark clouds, she could hear howls hooting from afar as bats flew here and there making the night even more scarier.Carmella shut her eyes for a while and swallowed hard, she could recall ever
Carmella bowed her head with guilt running through her veins, she knew the woman was right, she was the one who needed her help and not the other way round but how on earth was she supposed to cope with trusting a stranger who might end her life at any minute, she doesn’t know where she is taking her to and doesn’t understand a single thing that might happen once they get to where ever they are going.She shut her eyes for a while and took a deep breath “for once Carmella you have to take the bull by the horn and face whatever that it is out there, if Diana ever returns to the clan you are equally dead so what is there to risk? You have got no choice than to do this, this woman is your only way out of this mess, she is your only way of getting yourself married to Joshua, she is your only way of destroying Diana forever and covering up the tracks of the mistake you made years back, I still don’t understand how she survived fallin
It was day break across the cave and their was a big river right ahead of them, she was bewildered and couldn’t explain what she was just seeing “what is this place?” She asked in amazement.“Home….” Azora answered smiling.Carmella gasped “you live here, this is so beautiful, I haven’t seen anything like it my entire life” she took a quick glance around and couldn’t help gasping.There were beautiful flowers growing everywhere, the sky was bright and beautiful and the trees looked so appealing with fruits hanging down it.“This is why they tagged this part of the forest forbidden cause they can’t explain the wonders of it, it looks ugly at first but across the cave is beauty beyond their understanding” Azora grinned.Carmella shook her head sadly “
