CHAPTER TEN

Gulf was taken to his room where he saw his belongings on the bed, with a heavy heart and a body of pain he started arranging everything, the room was little and the only thing that was there was a bed, chair with a table then a bathroom with toilet was attached there too.

After the arrangement, Gulf was stressed out and his body was paining him a lot, he decided to retire to bed but before he could lay on the bed,a knock was heard. He went to check and found out it was Mr Qiang their healer, a man of about fifty-five years, he has been working in the Palace as a healer for a long time, Gulf was surprised at what the healer was doing here.

"Good evening My Queen, I was sent to attend to you by his Majesty" He bowed

"Why are you referring to me as that and why would his Majesty send you to me?" Gulf asked as he was surprised

'Didn't Mew tell them that I am no longer their queen?' Gulf wondered

"Actually My Queen, his Majesty didn't tell us how we all are to refer to you though he said starting from tomorrow you will be working as a servant as part of your punishment for the crime you were accused of

My Queen not all of us believe that you could do such, no matter what you will always be our Queen and our loyalty will forever be with you and his Majesty said that I should come treat the wounds you have on your back in order for you to carry out your duties efficiently from tomorrow" the healer said and bowed again to Gulf who was overwhelmed at the thought that some of the people working in the Palace believes him as still take him as their Queen.

"Thanks Mr Qiang, I really appreciate your loyalty and please my body is really in pain, I am to commence work tomorrow" Gulf said as he invited the healer inside then he was asked to remove his upper robe, Mr Qiang then commenced with the treatment and also gave Gulf some herbs for the wounds which wouldn't affect his pregnancy.

"My Queen, the Royal Physician sent me to give you this herbs in order for your baby to healthy, he was really worried about you after we heard about the punishment so he gave it to me to give you so that you wouldn't experience any problems in your pregnancy, he couldn't attend to you himself without his Majesty permitting him" Mr Qiang the healer said and gave Gulf the specified herbs for his pregnancy and also told him how he would take it, the Royal Physician prescribed that he should take the herb three times daily.

Gulf was beyond thankful to the both of them and silently noted to thank Mr Sing the Royal Physician whenever he had the chance to.

"Thanks a lot Mr Qiang and please also extend my thanks to Mr Sing, I will personally thank him when I get the chance to see him, I will forever be grateful to you both" Gulf said with eye full of tears but of course he didn't let them fall.

Mr Qiang then took his leave and Gulf took his night herb before going to sleep, he needed to wake up early in order to prepare Mew for the next day.

THE NEXT MORNING

When Gulf woke up the next day, it was still dark outside and the bell ringer haven't rang the bell yet which meant he woke up too early, the bell ringer rings the bell at 5:00am at the dot and that was the time for all servants working in the Palace wakes up to start their job for the day.

Gulf then decided to freshen himself up for the day, he was grateful that he longer felt pain, indeed the herbs worked. After brushing and bathing, Gulf then dressed himself in the uniform that was given to him to wear.

It was a white robe with with sash, everything was white, after that he then combed his long hair which was still smooth despite him not washing it with special products again, after combing it, he then used some strands of his hair to tie his hair so they disturb him.

It was already 5am when he was done and the bell was rang, he immediately took his morning herb for the pregnancy and another herb for his wounds, he then rushed to the upper Palace where Mew chamber was sited.

As Gulf was walking to Mew's chambers, he was greeted by the servants which made Gulf feel really weird but he replied to their greetings and rushed to Mew's room.

When he arrived there, he was allowed to enter Mew's room by the guards that were guarding him as everyone already knew that Gulf was working as his Majesty's personal servant.

When Gulf entered the room, he saw Mew sleeping quietly but his face looked disturbed, he then went to sit beside him on the bed and started caressing his face, he really misses Mew, then he started massaging Mew's disturbed face till they smoothened.

As he was about going to prepare Mew's bath, a hand grabbed him back making him yelp then losing his balance and falling on the bed, luckily he didn't hit his stomach.

"What were you doing on my bed" an angry voice of Mew asked

"Huh..uhm..I..nothing, I was just about to go prepare you bathe..uhm no I wanted to wake you up but then decided against it so I was about going to prepare your bathe, I'm sorry your Majesty for intruding your personal space" Gulf then apologized with a fast beating heart

He was nervous because of the position he was in in the bed, he was lying beside Mew and Mew's hand that grabbed him was now holding him on his waist,he was so so close to Mew, his big stomach was the only thing separating them.

"Just say that you wanted to seduce me,you think I wasn't awake when you were caressing my face huh..you slut!, if you want to have sex then go and look for the father of the child you're carrying" Mew said angrily while holding Gulf's waist tight which made Gulf to scream

"Ahh Mew!..please stop, you're really hurting my waist, I wasn't trying to seduce you believe me, I- I was just trying to smoothen your face, I thought you were having a bad dream, I really didn't mean for you to think otherwise" Gulf explained while trying to hold his tears from the pain Mew was inventing on his waist and his heart.

"And what does it matter to you if I was actually having a bad dream huh?..I am no longer your husband..don't you get it? very soon I will belong to another so you better stop whatever you are trying to achieve you filthy human"Mew roared

"I'm sorry your Majesty, I will never try it again"Gulf apologized, for the first time in his life he wanted to run away from Mew, from everything that was happening, he just wanted to be with his son Gabby, his comfort zone.

"Better for you, just do your work" Mew said and released Gulf who quickly stood up and rushed to prepare Mew's bathe.

MEW'S POV

I haven't been sleeping well since the incident about my father's death and Gulf also cheating on me, every night was like this too, I couldn't wait for morning to reach because Gulf would be coming here, his scent really calms me down thought I wouldn't never give him the satisfaction to know that.

After some hours, I couldn't sleep and the bell was rang, it's morning at last. After some minutes someone entered my chambers and from the scent that filled my nostrils I knew immediately that it was Gulf so I just shut my eyes to in order for him to think that I was sleeping to let him do what he came here for but most especially because I might do something that I would regret especially when he is inside my personal chamber.

My breathe hitched when I noticed he sat on the bed and started caressing my face, my heart was beating loudly and I silently prayed the he won't hear it, after a while I relaxed in his touch, I almost slept off when I noticed that he was about leaving, instinctively I grabbed his hands, I didn't want him to leave....just yet.

He yelped and fell on the bed then I quickly placed my hands on his waist...the slender waist that I miss every single day..he eyes were wide open..like a doe and was looking scared, I wanted to kiss those eyes and most especially those cute pink chestnut lips but I have to control my urge

I didn't know what else to say in order to keep him in bed to stay beside me for a while, before I knew it..I started saying bad words to him, I know I was hurting him and was partially happy that he was being hurt, he looked like he was about crying so I left him to quickly go do his work because I wasn't sure of what I would do next seeing him looking so vulnerable.

Minutes later, he came out to inform me about my bathe being ready and my breathe hitched when I saw his attire, he was looking as beautiful as the first day I saw him, I wanted to grab him and kiss him senseless..most especially I wanted to make love to him.

I quickly rushed inside the bathe and relieved my sexual urge with an image of him before I took my bathe and left.

I couldn't take my eyes off him while he dressed me up..this was just how it was when he was my wife. I quickly cleared my thoughts and left my chambers to attend to my duties for the day because if I had stayed back..surely all my imaginations with Gulf would have come true.
