Valerie pov ...
"My Layla is back,oh I told your father that you were not dead , But they didn't believe me .they even tagged me a mad woman , Look at she's standing in front of me "
I was rendered speechless ,I turned to look at Edward , But he wasn't saying anything he just looked at me and nodded his head in agreement .
Suddenly the elderly man cleared his throat and spoke up .
" Your majesty , Am sorry ever since we lost our daughter my wife have been acting strange , Please don't punish her for her actions "
" It's okay sir Hernandez , believe me when I say it's not a misunderstanding "
" No it's a misunderstanding your majesty ,Lady Layla Hernandez is dead ,her corpse was brought back home with that of her daughter ,so I don't understand what's going on here ,but if you want to mock us than please don't do that with my dead daughter please Your majesty "
" How sure are you that the person you buried was your daughter And grand daughter "
" I don't need to answer that question "
At this point I was lost ,so I decided to ask Edward the reason for this meeting and why this old woman was calling me someone else name ,I gently pulled her hand away from my face and walked up the Edward then sat beside him .
" Am sorry my lady but am not Layla am Valerie the kings wife "
" No am not mistaken you are my daughter ,like at your eyes ,you have the same face structure with hers everything about you are the same,the only difference is your hair "
She turned to look at her husband .
" Please tell them am saying the truth please "
" Sir Hernandez was already pissed off with his wife ,he stood up and dragged her to sit back down .
" Listen to me Olivia you better put yourself together and stop asking like a mad woman "
With the way this man spoke to his wife ,I could tell that something was not right about him , Edward on the order hand narrowed his eyes at them .
I opened my mouth to speak,but Edward held my hand and stopped me from saying a word .
" Am sorry for pulling up the dust of the past but your grand daughter was never dead "
The couples turned to look at themselves then turned to look at Edward sir Hernandez was already fuming in anger .
" Enough of this nonsense it's not possible , Layla is death so as her daughter too "
Now I realised Edward called this meeting for a reason ,he wanted to introduce me to my family ,Tears was threatening to fall from my eyes .but why was my grandfather not happy to see me .
He stood up and grabbed lady Olivia hand .
" I think you don't have anything important to say to us ,so it time for us to take our leave "
They bow there head to leave , Just then Samuel walked in , Edward quickly instructed him to lock the door .
" Your majesty are you holding us against our will "
" Why don't you want to discuss about your daughter sir Hernandez "
" It's because she is dead "
" Any one will be happy that their grand daughter survive and she's alive and well "
" I don't care , and I don't want to know , Layla is dead period "
" Okay if you say so but this woman here is your Grand daughter .. Layla daughter "
The room became quiet ,No one said a word ,It felt awkwardly quiet, The old lady quickly removed her hand from her husband hand and slowed walked up to me .
She had a weak smile on her face ,tears flowed down her eyes .
" Your are beautiful ...I know Layla wouldn't leave me like that ...I know she promised to stay with me no matter what "
" Grandma .."
I quickly pulled her in for hug ,but sir Hernandez was angry by the reunion ,He stood up and walked up to us then pulled us apart .
" This is arrant nonsense!! You are suppose to be dead ,you are dead ,I made such of that so remain dead , because if you try to resurrect again I will kill you "
Everyone in the room was short of words , Lady Olivia quickly grabbed her husband's hand and forced him to look at her .
" What are you saying Steve ,why are sounding like that ,you should be happy that your grand daughter is alive ,why are behaving like this .
" I should be happy ,why tell me, why should I be happy "
" Steve we lost our daughter , and you and I know the corpse we saw along our daughters corpse was not our grand daughters but you insisted that will buried it ,why are saying that you will kill her ,why tell me ,What are talking about "
" She kept dragging him and the next thing we had was the sound of a slap .
" Pak!!"
" You want to know ,yes I killed her ,I killed her because she chose to get pregnant for that low life ,I gave her a better life but she chose the order way round ,why should I keep a daughter who bought nothing but shame tell me why. Lord Stefan was ready to marry her ,He was ready to give her a better life .but your foolish daughter destroyed everything "
" You ...you ..killed our daughter "
" I did , And I don't feel.gulity about it "
" You should have disowned her ,Steve you should have disowned her ,why would you have to kill her '
I stood beside them watching everything that was happening ,I didn't say a word ,tears was flowing down my eyes ,I thought Bethel was the worst person on earth ,but today I got the shock of my life when I heard from my grandfather that he was the one who killed my mother .
Edward walked up to me and hugged me tightly then placed a kiss on my forehead ,he helped me sit down then .
" Don't worry I will handle it "
He called out to samuel ,then Samuel opened the door from outside and came in then closed it ,my grand parents on the other have kept arguing ,lady Olivia was screaming and pulling her husband's shirt .
Samuel walked in and bow his head to Edward .
" You called me my Edward "
" Sieze him "
" What are doing your majesty , Let me go"
" I will let you go, when you have a taste of your own medicine
