Twenty four

"What just happened?" Endore's wife asked as she glanced at her family. She hoped someone will laugh and tell her it is all a joke. "Why aren't you saying or doing anything?!" She glared at her husband.

"What do you have to say Salima?" Endore asked in a very low tone. He is trying his best to contain his emotions. To curb his anger. "Does the prince even know you? Has he ever for once spoken with you?! Did he truly promise his heart to you?!" Endore threw questions after question on an already crying Salima. "Was this truly just your delusion?" The question had him swallowing. He had been foolish, he foolishly believed everything she had told them, and he didn't even bother asking question to verify her claims. And now, he is paying with his whole life hard work. His family's dignity, he is paying with his name!!!
