You're Pregnant

~LEONA~

What the hell was happening? What could Rowland have told Vera, to make her kneel and apologize to me?

This is absurd.

Before I could discern what was happening, Rowland spoke ;

"Are you satisfied with her apology, honey?"

I felt disgusted at his words making me glare at him.

How could this palace be full of demons and shameless pervert, who makes a move on his sister-in-law?

"She seems not to be satisfied, why don't you kiss her feet."

I sharply looked at him, suitably startled.

His lips stretched into a smirk as he stared at me with something I believe to be lust rather than the so-called 'Love'.

Staring down at the kneeling Vera, the doll-like face was only lighted by a gleam of intense scorn, the brown eyes flashing fire, the ruby lips curling and quivering with disdain.

My heart sank at her stare.

"No. No. You don't have to do it." I shuttered almost on the verge of tears stepping back from Vera.

This pervert of a brother-in-law has unknown heightened my level of punishment.

"Just shut up and stay put!" Vera barked.

"Did you just yell at her?" Rowland inquired, coldly staring at her.

I saw Vera trembling in fear. What power has Rowland over this bitchy Vera to make her fear.

Vera made to kiss my feet but I withdrew it sharply.

My chin was angrily pinched by Rowland, at the moment, glaring fire at me.

"Don't ever move your feet again," His voice sent goosebumps through my body.

His tone and behavior presently were harsh. He left my chin as I remained still as Vera kissed my feet.

"Are you satisfied yet, or she should wash your feet? "

"No!. I'm quite satisfied."

"Truly," I added sharply before he commanded Vera for something quite inhumane.

The anger has left him. He now looked calm, as his eyes flashed fire of longing, staring at my lips.

This pervert! How dare him?

"Get out!" His voice jolted me back to reality as Vera stood up.

With a low bow before Rowland and a dangerous glare at me, she left the bathroom.

In a matter of minutes, I heard the living room door close, leaving me all alone with this shameless male whore.

I sharply walked out of the bathroom with him trailing behind. I felt uncomfortable with him behind me, so u stopped on my track and faced him, making sure not to meet his eyes.

"You should leave now, please," I breathed nervously.

"I will, darling but learn to stand up for yourself,"

With that, he walked past me brushing my shoulder the moment.

"I will have you, my sweetheart," he spoke before exiting my chambers.

I let out the air I knew not that I have been holding for a while, before falling on my bed.

I can't stay any longer here. I need to flee before these mentally deranged murder me.

"You're awake, my lady." Vivian's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Hey!" I said looking into her smiling face.

She's always smiling. What's with this girl smiling?

"What?" I asked as she remained mute smiling.

"You just woke up after five days and got Lady Vera angry. That's cool," She laughed.

I joined in the laughter before a bulb was lighted. Did she just say five days?

"Five days?" I questioned, my stretched lips dropping.

"Yes, my lady. You fainted after you came out of Her grace's chamber. You do remember, right?" she uttered before coming to sit beside me

That demon, Vera. She set me up and I got bitten. Seems she deserves washing my feet for her deeds.

But how could she be so close with the Queen, that made her choose her over me, her daughter-in-law?

Everything in this palace is as confusing as hell itself. Vera said I stole Romeo from her, why then did he not marry her instead but married another, who also escaped?

Yes, that brings me back to Rita. She surely must have known and given me the wrong direction.

She betrayed me, but was she the runaway bride?

Numerous questions crossed my head making me dizzy. I just need some fucking answers.

"Vivian, I want to ask you something," I breathed gathering up the courage to ask her.

"Yes, my lady."

"What's the name of Romeo's runaway bride? What's His relationship with Vera? "

Her face became startled at the question.

"Um... "

"Seems my dear wife likes going against my own will."

The voice I dreaded most now echoed through the room. Not again!

My heart tightened as beads of sweat trailed down my armpits. When I looked up, Vivian already exited the room.

Our eyes locked together as my cells stopped working. That bloodshot eyes, was he going to kill Me this time?

"I warned, but you're stubborn. What are my to do to my lady wife?" his calm voice and words got me angry.

"Your lady wife? Do you acknowledge me as a wife?" I fired angrily.

He stopped on his track and slowly looked up at me. I froze as the reality of what I spoke hit me. Where did such courage come from, Leona?

I'm so dead today. I swallowed into nothing

"I like that, so I will tell you what you need to know," he stopped.

My legs began to tremble as he smirked. That devilish smirk of his.

"My runaway bride isn't, Rita, and indeed your friend betrayed you. Money... it does bring out the best in people, doesn't it? Even the most trusted relationship can be swayed by it." He laughed. "Well, that's one of the acts of revenge I planned for you."

He spoke as a tear trailed down my face. How could Rita do such a thing to me? Why would she?

Revenge? What revenge is he talking of? We never crossed paths before, so why would he marry me just for some revenge?

I opened my mouth to ask him my offense but no words came.

He was slowly walking toward me without breaking the eye contact.

My head began swiveling as I felt weak. I was becoming dizzy. I tried to keep my eyes open but I couldn't.

I felt my body falling to the floor as my vision became blurry.

I saw the demon looking down at me with so much hatred in his eyes, before blacking out.

..

I woke up hearing voices around me. The voices seem to stop at my movement.

I opened my eyes as Vivian's smiling face came into view.

I stared around to see the servants and guards all smiling. What's going on with his people.

"What happened?" I asked curiously.

"My lady" a man greeted. He had this white lab coat on him, like a doctor, while smiling down at me.

Smiling again!

"You're pregnant."
