Valerie pov ....
Finally the day I have been waiting for had finally had ,it was hours away to My wedding day .I couldn't sleep although last night , Lady Tracy spend sometime with me before going back to her room ,I decided to catch some sleep but it was interrupted again by Bethel .
" Bethel what are doing here by this time of the night "
" Come on sister ,I haven't seen you for days and besides tomorrow is your wedding so let's just have someone fun "
" Bethel am stressed out, But how can i say No to you my sister "
" Thank you may I come in "
"Sure "
I made a way for her to come into my room , When she entered she sat on my bed and tapped the space beside her.
" Sit down valerie "
" Tell me what's making you so restless "
" It's nothing much val,I will miss you dear sister "
". Come on dear there is no need for you to say that okay , You can always come over to see me anytime you like the doors of that castle are always opened to you "
" Really what if I decided to stay with you for a while before going back to our house "
" It's No problem my dear , You can stay as long as you want .
She held my hand and looked into my eyes , At first I really don't understand what was going on , But something is wrong somewhere .
" Bethel are you okay "
" Yes ...yes..am okay "
Tears started rolling down her eyes .
" Am sorry Valerie ,I hurt you so much with my words Am sorry .You know sometimes I envy you Valerie , You have everything I ever dreamed off "
" It's not too late bethel you can build your own dream "
" Really , Am surprised I know , Don't worry soonest I will have everything my heart had always longed for my dear sister '
" I will continue to pray for you that you meet the right man , And he makes you happy "
" Sure ,Sister you know I have already met him ,But it's just that he haven't noticed me yet "
' Really "
it felt weird with what she just said , because bethel I know do not have any man in her life for now except , She's hiding something from me .
"Yes sister ,Not to worry you will get to meet him one day "
" I will look forward to that then "
" Okay sister I will let you rest now "
" Sure "
" Goodnight .."
" Goodnight sister ..."
She stood up and left my chambers ,I thought about everything she says but I decided to brush it aside .I walked towards my bed,I was about to sleep when I heard a knock on the door ,
" Oh my God who the hell is ....."
" Expecting someone....."
" Edward what are doing here , You know it's a taboo for the groom to see the bride before wedding day "
" Those are superstitious believe to me it's a blessing to behold your face before the wedding "
" Edward you need to leave I want to sleep , Except you want me to the late for our wedding "
" No need we can even get married tonight if you want "
" Haha funny , Leave Edward "
" Oh yes by the way I saw Bethel leaving your room "
" Ah yes, she came over to be with me for a while "
" Listen to me valerie , Am not trying to cause separation between you both , But I don't trust your sister one bit "
" Yea I thought about that too , But I came to a conclusion after all she is my sister ,I can't push her away ,I still love her no matter what happens ."
" I know but you will have to be careful about her , You know once an enemy is always an enemy no matter how she try to make it seem she have changed, You should know that she is definitely planning something big , And I don't want it cause me pain in the future "
" Nothing is going to happen Edward "
" Off course I know that , The only reason she's still alive is because she's your sister ,But I really don't want to change my mind "
" Edward No killing , Promise me "
" No killing , But I can't promise you about that "
" What about Lady Josephine and Lady Grace "
" They are good ,I asked samuel to keep an eye on them ,I don't want anyone ruining my wedding , But if they decide to play games with me I will have no option but to rip their heads off their neck "
" Calm down Edward they won't create a scene "
" No problems ,Have a good night rest here because from tomorrow , You will move permanently to my room "
" Yes I know ,But am a bit scared "
' You don't have too honey because tomorrow I will make you mind completely "
" Edward please go bed "
" Funny enough I can't sleep ,am anxiously waiting for tomorrow to come "
" Please Edward I need my beauty sleep "
" Okay make sure you lock your door ,I don't want to hear stories by Tomorrow ,Ah.. lastly I doubled the guards at the door "
" Why would you do that Edward am fine ".
" You might be okay and fine now but I can't tell about an hour or two hours later , I don't want to take chances , especially when we have people who do not want us to get married living with us right under our noise , Someone has to thread carefully you know "
" Yes I understand "
" Okay honey goodnight and sweet dreams
"
" Good night "
He opened the door and walked out of the room ,I made sure the doors and the windowed were properly locked, before I laid on my bed ,.
Suddenly I fell into a deep sleep I opened my eyes ,I saw Edward standing with his back facing me .
" Edward is that you ,what are doing here go to bed Edward "
I got no response from him,I called out to him again .
" Edward what's going on, go to bed"
Still No response,I suddenly became scared ,I got up from my bed and walked up to me ,I tapped him shoulder but he didn't move .
" Edward are you okay "
No response ,So I decided to pull his shoulder so he could turned around to face me , Immediately I did ,I saw the look of pain in his eyes .
" Edward are you okay "
He opened his mouth to speak but blood kept pouring out of his mouth .,I cover my mouth with my hand as not to scream then my eyes trailed down his body,I was shocked when I saw a sword that pierced his chest.i screamed out in tears .
" Edward !!!"
Just then I said someone calling out my name .
" Valerie !! Valerie wake up you will be late "
I opened My eyes and saw lady Tracy trying to wake me up .
" Wake up ,Sleeping beauty you are going to be late for your wedding "
" Oh my God it's dream".
