Chapter 15 Let me go!
Valerie pov
I woke up the next morning with so much pains in my body I could move a muscle ,I was still trying to figure out where I was when someone walked up to me .
" Hey you have to relax your body is not strong yet for all of this "
" Where is this place "
" Oh you are in the castle clinic, And am The physician in charge of your case "
" Castle clinic? ,What am I doing here ,How did I get here please can I go home "
" No My lady infact I was specifically instructed from the higher authorities not to let you out of here , Because you need to get well soon "
" Get well for Zeus sakes am fking okay can't you see "
Immediately I said does words ,I felt a sharp pain Running through my spine .
" You are okay ,Then stand up if you can "
I tried to stand up but was hit so hard by a strong pain ,I screamed out loud and fell to the ground holding of my body .
" You see I told you miss Valerie, You are not okay yet so please don't try to push your luck just lie down and sleep I will ask one of the servants to attend to you later "
I didn't have the strength to reply he ,I laid back on my bed , Thinking about everything that happened last night , Tears kept Rolling down my eyes .
" Why me ,I really don't do anything wrong to her , Why would she have to treat me that way "
I was lost in thought , When my mother and Bethel rushed in .
" Val ! Valerie, Oh Valerie my daughter am so sorry you had to go through this alone ,We have been looking for you , but I got to find out from one of the servants and Bethel , About the incident that happened last night . Am so sorry child "
" Mother , Bethel don't worry I will be fine you don't need to stress your head over it I promise I will be okay "
" You were badly injured , You can't say you will be okay i know you are trying your best not to show how much pain you are going through, But you don't have worry my girl we are here for you "
" Bethel could you please take mother home I really don't want her to feel sorry for me ,I know I messed up but I really didn't do anything wrong to deserve it ,I think next time I will be more careful with my steps "
" You see that's why i said I want to become the queen because I believe no woman would hurt my sister or mother ,I really hate this rich people so much . They feel they can do anything and get away with it "
" I know but you should be careful with your words Bethel except you want to end up like me "
" You never said anything bad but look what that king's fiancee did to you,I wish she could just burn and rot in hell for all I care "
All this while bethel was busy talking my mother didn't say a word to her , She held my hand and looked into my eyes .
" Val my daughter can you please explain to me what really happened, Why did the king's fiancee do this to you "
" I really didn't do anything to here mother , All I could remember was when I heard the news about Sir Eliot's death I was rushing out of the palace to go break the news to you when I bumped into her , She started scolding me but I apologized to her the next thing she asked the guards to flog me with with a horse whip .
" Oh my God why will she do sure a thing ,I know she's very heartless but I never expected her to be this wicked and cruel "
" It's okay mother , It wouldn't happen again"
" Off course it wouldn't happen again , because once you are free to leave here you wouldn't come back to this place again ,I have already lost my husband and don't want to lose my daughter too so I think I would have to look for another job for you so please val get well soon so you can leave this place "
" Okay mother "
" Listen to me val I know, I have been hard on you two. But you know I love my girls ,I can't and I don't want to lose any of my children .The demise of your father left a big vacuum in my heart but please don't think I don't love you ,I love and cherish you both "
She kissed my head and turned to bethel .
"Let's go home ,we will come back here to see her tomorrow "
" Okay mother "
Bethel held my hand and kissed my head .
" Zeus be with you sister , Please be good okay "
I nodded my head in response and watched them leave the clinic ,I was still in thought when I heard a deep voice from the other side of the room.
" What a wonderful family reunion "
I turned to where the voice was coming from, I was surprised to see Sir Benjamin standing in the dark corner of the room .
" What the heck are you doing there you scared the life out of me "
" Am sorry about that dear ,I came very quickly as soon as I heard what happened "
" Thank you ,Am okay now so please can you leave "
" Come on darling ,I know you really don't like me but it's not good to chase your husband to be out of the room "
" You are crazy stop talking nonsense and let me be ,I can't be your wife don't you understand I have someone that I love so much and you are not him so stop pushing your luck and let me be please "
" Val I think you are forgetting something here , Am not a man that backs down easily I love you ,I want you and you I will get when the time comes "
" Keep trying Sir Benjamin I hope heaven helps you on that one "
" Indeed I think you have been favoured by the king "
" What do you mean by that "
" I mean the king throw his fiancee into the dungeon and kill the guard whom touched you "
" What ! Tell me your joking "
" Oh I wish I was , But it's the truth "
" So how did you know about it "
" I told you I work in the palace and any information I want I get. Infact It happened that I was in the king chambers when it happened '
" Really so you trying to say you told the king about the incident "
' I never said so Miss val ,I only said the king found out about what happened "
" You are funny and crazy at the same time "
" Call it whatever you like, But am funny and crazy for you "
" Thank you but I think I will pass because I have someone in my life "
" You mean Eric "
I was shocked, On How he knew his name
" How did you know his name "
" I will answer that question some other day , But for now please do have a nice day "
I tried to stop him but he left without saying a word ,He left me with a puzzle that I had to find the answers too.
