Valerie pov ....
My wedding was fast approaching , All arrangements were already in motion .
Two weeks has passed by already ,Our wedding invitations have been sent out , The castle has become a market place where people comes in and go out on like before .
I woke up very early in the morning and was walking to and fro in my room , suddenly the door was opened and Ella walked in .
' My lady "
" Did you bring it "
" No I couldn't the security had been tightened in the castle I couldn't get access to the library"
" Ella why can't you just carry out a simple task , My wedding is less than a week and I don't know what will happen on my wedding night ,You said there is book that teaches a lady how to pleasure her man in the library but you couldn't get ahh ...Ella what am I suppose to do with you now "
' If you don't mind My lady we will have to wait till everyone Is asleep so I can sneak into the library and get it am sure it will be somewhere ,in the library "
We were in the middle of our conversation when we heard a knock on the door , Ella quickly rushed to see who it was .
Suddenly a young maid called Mary walked into the room .
" My lady your wedding dress just arrived , You are requested to come try it out "
" Sure ?"
She was about to leave , When she stopped in her tracks and turned to me .
" My lady your mother and sister just arrived in the castle "
" What! you mean my family is here "
" Yes my lady there are with the waiting room "
" Okay thanks you , You can leave now "
I turned to Ella and held her hand .
' Hurry Ella I need to get dressed on time and go see my family "
"Yes My lady "
I Ran into the bathroom and took my bath ,Came out then allowed Ella to help me get dressed when I was done dressing up and rushed out of my room ,Ran through the hallway to the waiting chambers ,when I arrived there I saw my mother , Bethel and the king having a conversation ,they had a smile on there face .
" Mama .. Bethel "
" Oh my God Valerie "
They both got up and gave me a hug
" I have missed you both so much "
' Same her my daughter ,Your sister had been so excited that we are coming to the castle, Am glad the king sent us an invitation too congratulations my daughter "
" Thank you mama, I couldn't have done this without you and The support of my sister Bethel "
I left them to sit beside Edward ,I could feel bethel eyes on us but she didn't be say a word, All the while her eyes were on Edwards .I whispered something into his ears and he placed a kiss on the back of my palm .
His attention was focused on me but he later diverted his attention to my mother and sister .
" I hope you enjoy your stay in this castle ,I will ask samuel to arrange two room for the both of you "
" Thank you so much My king we really appreciate everything you have done for my family "
" You shouldn't thank me ,I think your appreciation should go to my wife here , You know she had been the source of my strength ,I should be the one saying thank you for giving me such a beautiful woman as a wife "
A little blush appeared on my cheek ,I tried so hard to hide it .
' Please make yourself comfortable , samuel will assign two maids to attend to your needs , You can go freshing up i need to have a word with my wife "
" Yes My lord "
Samuel walked into the room , Bethel and my mother followed him out of the room , Immediately they left I quickly pulled Edward to a hug "
' Thank you so much "
" You are welcome , Anything for you "
" Please Edward I want you to promise me something "
" What could that be ,Speak and it is done "
" There will be no killing ,until after the wedding "
" Come to think of it ,it's been a while since I killed someone ,the palace have been peaceful for a while now .No offense but maybe it could be your sister "
A bright smile appeared on his lips that smile that always made me feel scared .
" Promise me Edward "
" I promise "
I placed a kiss on his lips and got up to left,I stopped in my track and turned to look at him .
" Edward please stop smiling like that it makes me scared ,if you don't know how to smile just laugh that will be better "
He burst into laughter ,his laughter was beautiful but yet it sounds wicked .
" It's okay please just maintain a normal face I don't want you scaring the guest "
I didn't wait for him to reply I rushed out of the waiting room and walked towards bethel room , When I arrived in front of her room I knocked on the door and then she opened it .
" Hi sister "
" Hi "
" Are you still angry with me "
' What do you want Valerie "
" You are my sister and my maid of honor please can you come with me ,I want to check out my wedding dress "
" Is that all "
" Yes "
" Okay let's go "
I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me , When we arrived at the last room on the first floor of the castle I opened the door and pulled her inside with me .A man and woman was busy arranging the wedding dress when the noticed my presence they bow their head to greet me .
" My lady you finally arrived "
" Am so sorry I was busy attending to my family please meet my sister "
They turned to Bethel and bow their head to greet her .I pulled bethel to sit on the couch and went into the changing room to wear my wedding dress .
After about thirty minutes I came out .
" Oh my God My lady you look beautiful "
" Thank you ,Mr Timothy Thank you "
" This is the perfect dress for the perfect lady like you "
" Thank you so much "
" Please excuse me I want to speak with my sister in private "
" Sure "
They quickly left the room ,leaving Bethel and I in the room .
" Bethel how do you see my wedding dress"
She stood up and walked up to me .
" It's beautiful ,but it should have been me in this dress "
" Oh my God bethel I thought we have talked about this before "
" We talked about nothing valerie , You are happy now right ,Living my dream life having servants at your beck and call right ,You know you have changed a lot valerie , You are no longer the little scared Valerie I use to know all thanks to His majesty .
" Bethel stop let's not start "
" Why are scared that people will know you snatched My man ,Or that you crawled into his bed like a whore....."
Before she could finish her statement ,I landed a hot slap on her cheek .
" Pak !!!"
She was shocked by my actions she couldn't say a word .
" Now you listen to me Bethel parker , Am done explaining myself to you if you ever address me as a whore again I will make Sure,I broke your bone limp to limp is that clear "
" Ye...yes..."
" Good , Get out !!"
I Really don't know what came over me why I reacted the way I did , But I was done explaining myself to her ,she quickly ran out of the room without look back ,I sat on the couch to relieve myself from the anger in my heart.
