Valerie pov ...
I couldn't take my eyes off the man standing in front of me ,with his attitude ,I could tell that he wasn't afraid of Edward .
I felt a slight pain on my stomach , suddenly Edward rushed up to me .
" Are you okay what happened to you , Did you see the person that tried to push you, Talk to me Valerie '
" No Edward am fine ,I didn't see anyone "
'" Please Valerie be careful were you walk okay "
' Okay "
" I forgot to introduce you to my friend and brother ,Meet Raphael "
" Nice to meet you Raphael "
" It's an honor to meet you too my lady , Edward have told me so much about you ,I was waiting patiently for the day I will finally meet you ,I guess today is that day , But we met in an awkward situation "
" No it's not a problem, Am fine "
" Good to know "
I quickly grabbed , Edward hand And held him tightly , The sight of this man was scaring me , Just then Edward spoke up .
" Don't worry val his not going to harm you "
" Who is he "
' His Raphael , My childhood friend and his also like a brother to me , nevertheless his a black witch "
" What !!"
" Yes valerie ,you ... You mean his a black witch "
" Yes valerie "
I turned my head to look at him , But immediately my eyes met his , His gold looking eyes turned into that of a snake . I quickly looked away from him .
" Raphael can you please stop scaring my wife "
" Oh my, Did I just scare you, Your majesty"
I couldn't say a word ,I bit my lips so No word could come out of it .
" Your wife is a wonderful woman "
" Thank you Raphael , Enough of the chitchat , Let's go back to the hall the guest are asking after you "
I nodded my head in agreement and we all left together back to event hall , Immediately I entered lady Tracy walked up to me .
" There you are ,I have been looking for you every where "
" I went to get some fresh air "
" I understand , But some of the guess have been dying to see you lady valerie , Come let's go "
We were about to leave , Raphael stopped her .
" Good day lady Tracy '
She turned to look at him but didn't reply to his greetings ,I observed the way she stared at him as if she just saw her greatest enemy , She pretend like she didn't hear anything and turned back to me .
" Lady Valerie let go "
I agreed and followed her , But out of curiosity I wanted to ask why she was upset with him.
" Lady Tracy , You seems upset with Raphael I hope no problems "
" Please I don't want to talk about him today is all about you and the heir you are carrying inside of you "
Suddenly lady Grace walked up to us with a smile on her face .
' My lady I was not opportuned to say congratulations to you , Now I want to say it properly , Congratulations my lady "
' Keep your congratulations to yourself lady Grace it will do more harm than Good "
" I was trying to be nice "
" I don't need you to be nice to me lady Grace , Because nothing good come when ever you are around "
' Now that you managed to get pregnant , You should be careful how you walk or who you talk rudely to, You never can tell who will be waiting for an opportunity to get rid of that thing growing in your stomach .
Suddenly my mind travelled back to the incident that happened in the hallway ,I quickly grabbed her hand and twist it behind her ,she let out a scream ,this attracted the attention of everyone in the event hall .
' You are the one who tried to push me right "
" Ahh let go of my hand are you crazy , Why would I push you "
I didn't even wait for her to explain herself, Edward and Raphael rushed up to me .
" What's going on here , Valerie what happened let her go you are pregnant , You need to let go of her hand "
" Why would I do that, Tell me after she just threatened the life of my unborn child "
Immediately I said does words the hall became noisy , The guest started murmuring among themselves . suddenly lady Josephine stepped in and tried to free her daughter from my grip , But I pushed her down .
She got up angrily dust her dress and charged at me before she could touch me Edward held her hand and pinned her to ground .
" Stop this nonsense this minute , How dare you accuse my daughter of threatening the life of your unborn child , How dare you "
" If I were you ,I would stop talking nonsense lady Josephine , Your daughter tried to pushed me down in the hallway , But all thanks to this gentleman , Mr Raphael ,I wasn't hurt "
The murmuring increased , The guest started looking at lady Josephine and her daughter with distain .
" I didn't try to push you down please stop accusing me I did nothing like that "
" You just said it with your mouth "
' I was only making a point ,Let me go "
My eyes kept scanning the room ,looking for someone , suddenly samuel walked in , Edward called out to him .
" Samuel ,Take her away ,Lock her up "
Samuel came over and grabbed her , Then took her away . Lady Josephine on the order hand kept screaming and crying .
" My daughter is innocent , She did nothing wrong why are you punishing her, For a mistake she didn't make , please my lord let her go please "
" Am sorry lady Josephine ,I can't do anything until ,she's proven not guilty of witchcraft practice "
" My daughter is not a witch , Let her go "
"Get hold of yourself lady Josephine ,or Else you will join her there "
" Take me there too, What are you waiting for ,I can't accept the fact that my daughter have been accused wrongly .
I was getting upset by this woman's words,
' Lady Josephine ,I will advise you to stop talking nonsense and face the Truth ,or rather allow the council decide her fate "
She couldn't hold back her anger anymore ,she pointed her finger at me .
" You ...you are nothing but a slot ,A whore who got into the bed of the king just to become his queen ,I cause you that child in your womb will not see the first light of the day , That's a promise "
Immediately she said does words Edward asked the guards to lock her up in a his special dungeon , I felt so devastated my child have not been born yet but he or she has already been hated for no reason.
