HE DOESN'T LOVE ME

"Desmonda?" Dominica called while going into the room.

A wicked and dangerous smirk playing on her lips.

"Where are you, my daughter?" She walked into the room, her eyes scanning the whole place in disapproval.

"Oh, this naughty girl. How many times have I told you to always keep your space neat and tidy? Where are you? Come out now!" Her expression changed as her eyes darkened.

Desmonda stuck out her head and peeped through the corner of the closet, fear lingering in her eyes.

"There you are, come here!"

Desmonda slowly walked up to her mother and stood quietly with lowered head " greetings mother " she murmured with a low voice.

"Look around you, your room is untidy! Have you not learned anything?" Her voice increased pitch and intensity.

"I... I- "

"Silence!" Desmonda tightened her fist and immediately, desmonda's lips were sealed, stopping her from speaking. She whimpered and sniffed her nose as she sobbed silently, unable to mutter any sound. Her eyes stared pleadingly at the one called her mother but the woman had no compassion. 

"Do not stare at me with those abominable eyes!" Dominica voiced out and the girl quickly looked away.

"Each time I see you, it seems like you keep resembling that man even the more... You were only a mistake!"

"I hate humans and to think my own daughter is one, I want to end you but unfortunately, I just cannot do that..." She kept murmuring to herself while staring into those beautiful eyes which reminded her of a fling she once had with a human whom she didn't know was a human.

After that day, she kmew she had conceived but did not want to terminate the pregnancy because she never had a female child which she so much desired.

However, after finding out that the child had human blood in her, she was greatly disappointed.

" no one knows of your existence and no one will know. Because you were never meant to be" 

As she spoke, the tears on desmonda's face blurred her vision, wetting her face and streaming helplessly down her cheeks as she wondered why her mother never showed her love.

Dominica released her fist, thereby letting free of desmonda's lips. A glint of emotion flashed across Dominica's eyes but she quickly turned around.

"Clean up this mess!" She ordered before walking out, jamming the door close and making sure to lock it properly.

Sunnyshire

"The body has been buried and the matter has been closed" a man bowed before Lord Wesley who was seated on his lush couch.

"Good, here is ur reward. As promised" lord Wesley brought out a wad of cash and threw it towards the man who scrambled to catch it but it fell to the ground.

The man quickly reach out and grabbed the money.

"Thank you, my Lord"

"Don't thank me, you're lucky the matter did not escalate to other kingdoms. Wrap up the case and find some story to tell the villagers "

"Yes my Lord" the man gave a final bow before leaving the Manor.

"Who was that?" Jake came in after the man had gone, he took a seat opposite his father, his face holding a grim and somewhat tired face.

"Divisional head policeman"

"Still on about that matter? It's been two weeks now " he said with no interest.

"Oh quiet!, if not for you I wouldn't be in such a tight corner now "

Lord Wesley stood up and straightened his cloak as he prepared to leave.

"You're leaving?"

"The king called for me, I know it is still about you and your misconduct. This better end well, I hope this will serve as a lesson for you"

Jake scoffed and carelessly threw his head to the side "lesson my ass..." He murmured but Wesley heard him and got a bit infuriated, his attention was drawn back.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" 

"This is only the beginning" Jake smirked.

"You better be joking "

"I am not. " Jake stood up, measuring height with his father.

"What was Herald expecting when he sold my Amira?"

"Call that name with respect, young man! And enough with Amira! She is now happily married to her husband and who knows, they might be expecting a child already"

Wesley was becoming annoyed with his son's useless obsession with Amira, he huffed while glaring at James. He turned around and exited the building.

"You just wait and see... Just wait and see my master plan" The side of his lips arched into an unpleasant smirk, determination and danger lurking beneath his brown eyes.

"Young master" a butler dressed in tuxedo came forward and bowed deeply.

"Do you have good news?"

"Yes, young master. I have found the place. A large kingdom which spread out far towards the east, it is known as DARKVALLEY, ruled by a frightful and very powerful king, King Zoriel"

After listening, a sinister smile broke out on Jake's lips.

"Good" he remarked with glimmering eyes as he envisaged when he would visit the so called Darkvalley to save his princess.

"Inform the council, I will pay them a visit tomorrow"

"Yes young master"

Darkvalley

The sun was at its peak, shining brightly upon the large kingdom which somehow contradicted the name Darkvalley.

Amira had just been served lunch and had taken the last dose of her medication, she was now feeling very much healthy and strong.

Though she was pleased but also couldn't help but wondered why her husband refrained from checking in on her as he always did.

It wasn't like she craved his care or anything but she just wondered why he stopped, did something perhaps happen?, She wondered.

Though she received all his gifts from the maids but he never showed his face, why?

Was he hurt or something? She thought as she found herself walking out of her room and stylishly looking around for any trace of him.

Perhaps he had traveled on a long journey? But he never said so, maybe it was something worse... Or better? Maybe he had died?

"Get it all done and report back to me!" Amira heard the familiar voice and quickly hid behind a huge pillar as Zoriel walked passed her. 

"Oh, so he has been around and he just decided to ignore me, of course he does not care, and he claims to love me, tsk!"

'I don't even want his love, he can disappear or go extinct for all I care'. Amira headed down the hallway and came to a stop when she got to the room in which desmonda was locked in.

She brought out the key from her pocket and unlocked the door. After going in, she closed the door firmly behind her. She wanted to see the girl again and talk to her if possible.

To Amira's surprise, the room was neatly arranged this time and a figure was laying down on the huge bed, covered in duvet.

"Oh wow... " Amira stepped further into the room and gently sat on the bed, her movements alerted the sleeping girl and she stirred lazily before her fluttered open to meet a pair of unfamiliar beautiful brown ones.
