Chapter 49 Chapter 49
Edward pov .
I Was mad and Upset at Lady Alice ,I think I have become too free with the people around me, Immediately the guards ceased her and took her out of the castle ,I turned to valerie .
" Let's go "
She quickly followed me without saying a word , When we got to my room ,I asked her to lie down and sleep that I had something important to attend to , She laid on the bed but couldn't sleep I was about to leave when I felt someone holding my hand .
" Don't go please stay with me for a while "
" I wish I could but a letter just came in from the council I really need to look into it but I promise to be back soon Just go to bed okay if you need anything the servants will be at the door waiting for you to call they will answer without hesitation so please go back to bed "
I used the mattress to cover her chest and tapped her hair .
" I love you valerie and I can't wait to be your wife "
" Me too I can't wait to have you as my husband "
" Okay so be a good girl and go to bed okay "
She nodded her head and quickly closed her eyes.i stood up to leave but she stopped me again .
" Edward "
" Yes valerie "
" Are you going to torture her the same way you torture Eric "
I was short of words ,First I forgot to tell her that Eric was dead and now she's asking me if am going to torture Alice the same way I did to Eric off course yes infact I had the worst punishment waiting for her in there .
" No please go to bed ,I don't want you to worry your head over unnecessary things "
" Okay "
Once I was sure she had closed her eyes I quickly left the room and walked out of the castle when I arrived at the wall I placed my hand on a tiny hole and a secret door appeared and I walked in
.
The sound of my shoe was clicking on the ground, samuel and liam turned to.look towards my direction .
" Your majesty you are finally here "
" Yes I am , Tell me how is she doing "
" She has stopped screaming but she was asking for you "
" Is that so "
" Yes your majesty ,I guess she has something to say "
" Okay then I have all the time in the world let's hear her speak ,Open to cage "
The cage was opened and Alice was dragged out of it , She was looking so Haggard ,it hasn't been up to three hours and she's already looking like this , The chains that was bound to her legs couldn't let her walk properly she was forced to knee in front of me .
" Why do you want to speak to me "
" Edward please am sorry ,I know I behaved harshly towards you but it's not my fault I was frustrated ,I love you so much ,But that girl took you away from me please forgive me ,Am apologizing for what I did to you not what I did to her she deserves it all ,I mean all of it ."
" You are unrepentant of what you did , You even had the guts to say you don't regret trying to kill my wife do you know what that means "
"Oh Please Edward she's not your wife yet and besides anything can happen she might be killed by one of your enemies , You never can tell please Edward don't let her spoil what we have being through please . Please just reconsider I beg of you "
" I can't reconsider ,I knew you were a threat all along but I played cool because I simply do not want to make you look like a fool , But no you kept pushing me to the point of no return "
" Edward I was lonely all I did ,I did it for love ,I could let another woman take my place in your life ,I love you Edward "
" I don't love you Alice , What I had with you was call youthful exuberance nothing more ,I have found the woman I love , A woman with a heart of Gold . She not after my throne or my wealth or power and if am being given a chance to chose between my throne and Lady valerie I would chose lady valerie without batting an eye"
The dungeon became silent ,samuel , liam and lady Alice was left speechless . She had to gather the courage left in heart to speak .
" You don't mean what you just said right "
" I meant every word that just came out of my mouth Lady Alice , But it's so unfortunate that you won't be alive to witness it "
" No ..no please don't say that Edward ,I love you please don't let them kill me , We are meant for each other "
" Says who if I may ask "
" I know that Zeus had blessed our union remember when we were till growing up we had signs that we were meant for each other remember "
" Haha does things are nothing to me now ,if truly we were meant for each other you wouldn't have married duke cowell "
" It was a mistake ,I quickly corrected it when I learnt that you became the heir, Please Edward don't do this to me please I beg of you don't let Valerie destroy our love "
" There is No love lady Alice or you think I don't know that you instigated Lady Benita to come to the palace and try her best to take out Lady valerie ,but you knew all along Lady Benita was digging her own grave you wanted to kill two birds with one stone but you never knew you were making the same mistake Lady Benita made I simply gave an instruction don't touch what belongs to me , But No you women won't listen now see where it has landed you a beautiful mansion in my dungeon "
" No you can do this to me, Yes I know I instigated lady Benita but she's not a fool to know what's right from wrong , She should have stopped or rejected my offer but No she acted like fool and she got the result , Please Edward spare my life ,I promise not to come between between you both again please "
" I spared you the first time what happened , But I promise I wouldn't spare you this time so dear Alice I want you to chose your punishment yourself ".
" Death by hanging "
" Death by poisoning"
" Taken to the slave establishment"
Make your choice am being generous to you because of old time sake .
She burst into tears , screaming on top of her voice .
" Just kill me Please, And save me this humiliation"
