Valerie pov
I lost my balance and fell to the ground , I was speechless what has come over bethel .I tried standing up but it seems I twist my ankle .I was still struggling to get up , When I heard my mother shouting at bethel .
" Bethel what the heck is wrong with you, Why would you have to push your sister like that . Bethel am talking to you "
" Please mother she is not my sister , She cease to be my sister the day she snatched the king away from me "
" What are talking about Bethel, Who snatched who away from you "
" That bitch over there took what's mine away from me "
I raised my head to look at her,I could see her pointing at me, Our mother walked up to me and helped me stand on my feet , She got a seat for me and asked me to sit down and explain what's going on .
" Mother I never snatched anyone away from her ,I really don't know what she is talking about "
Bethel was so furious that she rushed up to me, But my mother stopped her in time .
" Lies mother, lies she's telling a lie she always wanted the king but pretended to be the good and prefect daughter in front of you "
"No bethel "
I tried to touch her , But she pushed my hand away .
" I never snatched the king away from you, I tried my best to put in few words to make him like you but no he still doesn't what to hear anything "
" Haha you expect me to believe the nonsense you are sprouting out of your mouth "
" Am telling you the truth please believe me you know I love Eric, I can't be with another man except him so listen to me please ,Things are already difficult for me you should stand by me now as my sister . Why are you doing this we were once a happy family why are you letting your hunger for power destroy us Bethel please just stop "
'" Haha ...stop ..did you just say stop , Why didn't you go with Eric when he came looking for you in the castle , Why ? know need to give me an answer I already know everything because you have always wished to become the queen of this great city ,Do you know how much I have tried to impress the king ,Do you know how much I have longed to see his face . But you valerie parker you destroyed everything my dreams, My future , My hope ,I told you that I will stop at nothing just to become the queen ,I will take down any obstacle that stands on my way , You thought I was joking right , Valerie parker am not your sister , Am not your friend from today see me as your enemies ,I swear on my blood I will bring you down and watch you knee and bow your head to me in shame that's a promise "
I tried talking to her but she walked out on me ,I turned to my mother who was sitting besides me with tears falling down her eyes .
" Mother are you okay "
" How can I be okay ,Tell me val when my daughter's are on each orders throat how ,Oh how I wish your father was still alive
"Mother it's okay you don't have to wrong about bethel "
" It's not okay val , You know what bethel can do, Please runaway val runaway from this king , And from the Castle please go somewhere else and start a new life I don't want to lose any of my daughters "
When she said those words my heart was broken into a million piece ,I got up from the cushion ,I couldn't walk properly because of the pains I felt on my ankle but managed to walk out of the house without saying a word to my mother , When I came out of the house I met liam standing there waiting for me patiently , He saw me coming he rushed up to me .
' My lady are you okay "
" Am fine liam, Please let's go "
He opened the carriage door for me and I got it , Without wasting any more time we left my family house .
I asked liam to stop at the baker's shop in town because I really wanted to see Eric so we could plan on how to escape the city since the king has not yet return from his trip .
The carriage stopped in front of Mr collins bakery shop ,I got down and walked into the bakery shop .
" Good evening Mr collins "
An advanced man in his early Forty's turned to look at me.
" Good evening my lady , What can I do for you "
" Exactly Mr collins, Am here to see Eric Roger your apprentice"
" Well my lady am sorry to say he didn't come to work today maybe you should check on him at home "
" That I will do ,Thank you Mr collins"
" It's my pleasure to serve you my lady"
I quickly walked at of the shop and hopped into the carriage , I told liam the address of Eric apartment and asked him to drop me there ,I told him I wouldn't waste much time because I want to see my cousin .
So I quickly rushed into the house but couldn't find any one at the living room I decided to walk towards his bedroom to be sure no one was at home before leaving .
When I got towards the door of his room, I heard a weird sound coming from there the door was not locked so I opened it a little to see what was making that sound , What I saw next shocked me to the coil .
Eric was having sex with another woman on his bed ,He was so engaged with it that he didn't notice when I entered the room , The lady was the first person to notice my presence and she quickly tapped him to look at my direction when he saw me ,He quickly rushed out of the bed .
" Val it's not what you think "
I didn't say anything to him ,I just turned around and walked out of his house without looking back .
Tears was flowing from my eyes when I arrived at the carriage I asked liam to take me back to the castle , Immediately I entered the carriage and the door was closed Eric ran towards the carriage and started pleasing with me .
" Please val it's not what you think am sorry please "
I didn't even look at his face ,Soon the carriage started moving in no time we disappeared from his view ,I couldn't hold back any more I bursted into tears until we arrived at the castle .
