WORDS OF THE HEART

***Chapter 10***

OLIVIER

I was so ashamed that I didn't know what to say when my wife came to surprise me. Hmmm what should I do now? She took off her ring, threw it in my face and left. So everyone looks at me as if I were an evangelist preaching the word of God. Then they started to withdraw one by one until only the girl and me were left. At first glance, I didn't even recognize her anymore because my wife changed her picture. Her hair was down and her dress was torn, she looked like a beggar. I look at her without saying a word. I find her ridiculous in this state even though my heart is pounding.

She: what?

Me: nothing what's your name again?

Her: Tsippp you know the color of my underwear without knowing my name? You are very ugly. Call me Chancelle.

Me (handing her two ten thousand franc bills): go wash up and go home.

She: after what your wife has just done to me, that's all you have to say to me?

Me: what do you want me to say to you? Can't you see that my marriage has just collapsed?

Her: So what? You think it's my fault?

Me: well, I have to find my wife. I'll have to leave you.

She kept on cursing me while I was putting my suit on the bed but as I have better things to do, I ignored her. Suddenly my phone rings. Where the hell is the phone? And while I was looking for it, this girl stood with her arms crossed for a moment and ran to pick it up and cut it off. I quickly took the phone away from her, staring at her with questioning eyes as if to ask her why she did that. But then the phone started ringing again and looking at the screen, I saw that it was my wife. Oh I bet she changed her mind and forgave me.

Me: Yes, dear!

She(weak voice): hello!...

Me: I'm really sorry for what happened and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness. Tell me where you are so I can join you.

Her: I just had an accident.

Me: What???? How??? Tell me where you are?

She: at the street of the avenue and I believe that I have killed a person.

Me (panicked): oh shit. Calm down, stay there, I'm coming right away. Don't move.

After hanging up,

I didn't take the bath anymore. I just got dressed in a short time under the insults of this girl and then I enter my car for the street of the avenue and once at the place of the accident, I saw a vehicle of the firemen in which they put an unconscious girl and covered with blood while policemen interrogated my wife and witnesses. Then, at the sight of me, she abandoned her interrogators to throw herself into my arms, her face flooded with tears.

She: Olivier I have just killed.

Me (holding her): Calm down darling, it's not your fault. It is mine.

A policeman: Sir, are you allied with Mrs. Borisse?

Me: yes I am her husband.

Him: I am inspector Sosthène. I will have to take your coordinates but I advise you to remain at our disposal for the depository suite.

Me: Okay.

Him: Can I have the driving license and the car registration of the lady?

Me: Yes.

So we answered all the questions of the inspector before he addressed the crowd.

Him: Does anyone know the victim?

Someone raised a finger to say yes to the inspector and told us that her name was Belvida, a waitress at the Peace and Love restaurant.

The inspector then took care to note down all the statements and the crowd began to disperse gradually and the rest of us followed the victim in our respective cars to the health center.

LUNA

After the pleasure game with Sylvain, I first called the prince Fernando with the intention to give him an appointment in order to seduce him but I noticed that he rejects every time the call.

Sylvain: it is the prince, isn't it?

Me: yes a problem?

Him: humm no

Me (looking at him with contempt from head to foot): so you thought you could be my husband? Nonsense.

Him: but I bet he can't be as good in bed as I am.

Me: don't be so sure of yourself. Only I can know that.

Him: by what?

Me: but what question? By sleeping with him of course. After all he is the owner of my body, isn't he?

Him: and me then?

Me: you are only a poor tenant.

Him: Okay, I get it. Do you know what? Today a servant of the queen told me something that intrigues me a little.

Me: which servant?

Him: Gloria.

Me: and what did she say?

Him: she said that she knows that we have intimate affairs you and me.

Me (astonished): oh well!

Him: yes.

Me: And you let her live? She risks compromising us.

Him: but with all the people in this palace, I can't.

Me: And if I tell her to accompany you in town to do some shopping for me? You can take care of her, no?

Him: yes, there it can go.

Me: now you have to leave because the day is going to rise.

I was waiting for him to leave and after he left, I took my phone to call King Oscar.

Him: Hello!

Me: good evening majesty it's Luna.

Him: ah my daughter how are you?

Me: I am fine. Just to inform you that it is already done.

Him: ah congratulations.

Me: Thank you.

Him: now my son will be yours alone.

We chatted for several minutes the king and I and once hung up I turned off the light to go to bed.

GEORGES

I'm sitting in my handcrafted chair enjoying my pipe that I can't help but smoke when my daughter appears.

Her: good evening dad.

Me: good evening my daughter

Her: good evening mom

His mother: good evening my daughter. And how was your day?

Her: yes mom

No sooner has she put her bag down than she decides to go out

His mother: my daughter where are you still going?

Her: I only have a few minutes. I'll be right back.

Me: hmm you know it's dangerous for a girl to stay out at night? Even less a pregnant girl?

Her: yes daddy but don't worry. Nothing will happen.

So she opened the gate and left. Her mother and I waited for a good two hours with no sign of her. Hmmm at this time of night? But what is she up to if her mother doesn't know? So they take me for an idiot? I watch my wife dozing on the stool she is sitting on, snoring like a pig. So I patted her on the thigh and then she woke up while I was telling her I need to talk to her.

Me: tell me where your daughter has gone.

Her: how do you want me to know?

Me: I know very well that you and your daughter are plotting behind me.

Her: but daddy what are you talking about?

Me: she went back to the prince didn't she?

Her: how do you want me to know?

Me: Above all, don't look for me. I told you I wouldn't want to get in trouble with King Oscar.

Her: and what makes you say that she is at the prince's? She could also be with the one she had talked about the last time, right?

Me: I knew you were going to come to his defense. You rate your daughter's actions, don't you?

Her: Why do you keep saying MY DAUGHTER? And you're not your daughter?

Me: well then what?

Her: when she does good deeds she is your daughter. But when it's bad works it's my daughter isn't it?

Me: yes because a girl is supposed to receive education from her mother and not from her father.

She: because a father has nothing to do for the education of his child?

Me: By the way...

Suddenly someone enters the house. At first I thought it was my daughter, but it's more like a young man from the neighboring dealership.

Him: good evening dad

Me: good evening young man what can I do for you?

Him: Please forgive me for bothering you at such an hour. It's about your daughter.

My wife: Belvida?

Him: yes, she has just had a very serious accident.

Us: how??? Or??

Him: they called the ambulance but as it takes a long time, the firefighters were not far away. So they took her to the zone hospital.

We barely heard the rest of his sentence as my wife and I panicked so we rushed over without even trying to take anything. Even the sandals were not worn.

Me (asking her): do you know the prince?

Her: I think so because I was there once.

It takes miles to go to Prince Fernando's house, especially since we go there on foot, but I was surprised that we got there in record time. As for my wife, it was worse and to see her it seemed as if her heart was going to leave her chest. Provided that my daughter does not die. My wife and I knocked on the prince's gate to no avail. In any case, I'm not surprised because soon it will be day and he would probably be sleeping.

FERNANDO

Hmmm to say that it's over between Belvida and me breaks my heart. Losing her is a bit like losing a part of myself because I rather thought that nothing could change how we felt for each other. I thought we were invincible in any situation and what happened proves me wrong. But one thing is certain, I have to stifle this feeling I have for her to stop suffering. Someone said if there's one thing you care about most, don't try to hold it back. Because if it comes back to you, it will be yours and this forever. But if she doesn't come back, know that from the start she wasn't yours. But how long should I wait for it? What if she never came back? I better learn to forget it. And tomorrow I'm going to start hoping elsewhere. Suddenly my phone started ringing. I consulted the screen and it's a number that I don't know, that is to say that it is not in my directory, so I rejected the call. Despite this the correspondent insisted and I too rejected as many times as he called but my intuition tells me that it is a call from the princess given the first digits of the number because the great personalities use numbers of the genre. That she doesn't bother me because all this happened by her fault. There's a knock on my door and I know that's Andrea.

Me: yes come in!

Her: your highness I'm leaving but first would like to speak with you.

Me (straightening up): yes, I'm listening.

Her: I know you've been disappointed, but that's no reason to put yourself in this state. You don't eat anymore and that's not good.

Me: don't worry. Today I will eat your meal.

She (happy): seriously?

Me: yes I promise.

She was so delighted with it that it looks like a student who has just had her license and then she went home. During this time I ate some of his meal and then lay on the sofa watching TV until I fell asleep. And in a dream I see Belvida very radiant in a white boubou and waving goodbye to me.

Me: no Belvida does not let me down. Please don't go.

And suddenly I wake up from my sleep by a resounding noise when I hear the doorbell ringing impetuously at the gate. If it was Andrea who had perhaps forgotten something, she wouldn't ring since she had the spare keys. I then headed for the gate to open and it is Belvida's parents that I meet.

GLORIA

In the evening, I saw Sylvain go away but he is dressed in black as if he is going to do a hold-up (burglary). So he left with a princess carriage only to return later. I saw him chatting with the princess for a while and then they went to her room. I went clandestinely to his window which is three-quarters closed to see them having sex. I stood there watching them until they were done.

Sylvain: Today Gloria the Queen's servant told me something that intrigued me.

Luna: what is it?

Sylvain: she told me that she knows that we sleep together.

Her: how??? And you left her alive? She will compromise us.

Him: but I can't do it here let's see. Can't you see there are enough people here?

Her: okay I see. And if I tell her to come with you to run errands in town, can you get rid of her?

Him: there it works.

So if I understand correctly they want to finish with me. And moreover from what I had just heard, they killed Belvida! Hmm what a sacrilege! Sylvain who told me he wouldn't do that, he finally did it. Afterwards he will come and tell me anything just to sleep with me. Hmm I can't believe it. Now I'm going to have to find a way to escape from this palace before it's too late. To kill me!!! Oh my God, I don't want to stay here any longer. I'd better join my parents. Hey, there's a knock on my door. Who could it be? Is this Sylvain coming to finish me off? Yes, it's Patrice who comes to harass me? Should I answer or be silent?
