25⁰ Humiliation part 1

Spring Kingdom

Bella

Was I feeling guilty for kissing a man other than my husband? Of course not! Antony is an asshole, he didn't deserve that I felt bad for having done what I did, I would do it again if I had to, the only thing I was afraid of was being found out, hanging myself was not the end I wanted for my life.

Today to have a moment of peace, and relax my body and mind I decided to go out for a walk with Esmeralda, it has been a long time since we have been out together.

- Come on, Bella! I feel like bathing in that wonderful lake - Esmeralda was practically ready.

- Wait, we're almost done! - I said, her excitement made me hurry even more, and I looked inside the room to make sure I didn't forget anything.

We left the room walking through the corridors to the entrance of the castle, where a carriage was waiting for us, the coachman helped us up, and returned to his seat making the carriage ride, during the way Esmeralda kept talking about how excited she was.

The long ride was over, already arriving at the destination, she was quicker, jumping out of the carriage without waiting for the coachman's help, who laughed at her animation.

-She's really interested in the lagoon. -he communicated, helping me down.

-She really is. -I said, thanking him for his help.

-I'll wait a little further away so that she can have freedom. -I'll wait a little farther away so that you can have freedom," he said, following the carriage a little farther away.

The lake is crystal clear. You could even see the fish, which in a few minutes disappeared when she jumped into it. That one was really hot.

- Come on, Bella! Come on in! The water is delicious!

- I'm going to stay here for a while and enjoy the sun. -I said

I kept thinking about my situation, I had to change it. I was created to command, not to take orders from someone.

Seeing Esmeralda having so much fun in the lagoon that I decided to go in as well, I took off my dress and wore a thinner and shorter one.

-Wow! -I exclaimed, amazed by the temperature of the water, which is incredible.

-I said that the water is nice, relaxing to reduce the stress of life," he said, throwing the water to me.

-There's fruit there," he said, pointing to a beautiful tree with lots of fruit on top and on the bottom.

-Let's go. -I said, getting out of the water, with Esmeralda following me.

-I'm going up," I said.

-I said, "You're crazy! And if you fall, how will I know why you're in the healing wing?

-I'm not going to fall," I said, climbing up, even though she protested.

-I said to her, "Bella, here on the ground there are also good fruits for us to eat", she said, showing a fruit that was on the ground.

-But I want the fruit on top. - I said, laughing at her expression.

-You look like a naughty child," said Esmeralda, placing her hands on either side of her body at her waist.

-And you're like an annoying mother! Now you're looking like a spoiled child," I said, laughing at her for showing me her tongue. -I said, laughing.

-Seriously, Bella! Come down," she said, apprehensive as I slipped a little on the trunk.

-That's right," I said, getting down, "because even I was afraid of falling.

-Let's go back to the water. -Let's go back to the water," she said, biting into the fruit, which was gray but red inside.

I was about to bite into mine but the expression Esmeralda made as she swallowed, made me stop the fruit near my mouth.

-What? -I asked.

-Horrible! This fruit is bad," she said, throwing the fruit away, running her hand over her tongue.

I threw mine away, laughing at the funny situation we were in.

-Let's go back, and get in the water. - he said jumping, and I got in too.

And so we stayed playing in the water relaxed, but only the body relaxed, my mind is still hammering thinking about my situation.

- Let's go, Esmeralda," I said as I got out of the water.

-What do you mean, let's go? It's too early to go," she complained nonconformist. -I didn't enjoy it enough, so much time without leaving the room and when we decide to have fun, you already want to come back," I said, leaving the water as well.

-But I have to resolve my situation, I can't let this continue. Antony beat me, and my mother stood by him," I said, so she could see that we can't keep pretending.

-How did this happen? Why didn't you tell me," she asked, amazed by what I said.

-I didn't want you to be worried about me," I replied.

-How could I not, you are my only family, we should always trust each other, and this kind of event should be shared.- she finished getting dressed and came to me hugging me.

-I'm sorry I didn't speak up. -I missed it.

-I understand, but don't ever do something like that again. -he warned.

-Let's go? -I asked as I finished getting dressed.

-Let's go. -she answered, but I realized that she didn't really want to go.

-We spent almost three hours here, Esmeralda, and it was already time to go. I can't wait any longer, I want to show Antony that he will not intimidate me with his posture. I have decided that I will resolve this situation today.

We walk to the carriage, getting in for the ride back, I am nervous and Esmeralda doesn't seem very happy that I want to face him. She doesn't say anything along the way, we get down and head for my room.

- Bella, think carefully about what you are going to do, something could go wrong! It won't be a good idea for you to face your husband, I'm sure. - she confessed to me, distressed and hesitant, when we were already in my room.

-Nothing will happen; don't worry about me. You can go and rest. -I said.
