Chapter Two

I stood up from the bed and I decided to commit suicide after all that was my last option.I opened my closet and brought out a long rope that I used for skipping. I climbed up with the help of a stool and started preparing to hang myself then suddenly the door opened and my father entered.He rushed towards me in an agitated way and put me down,

Medea what's all this foolish act.First you tried to run away thanks to the prince you were found and now you are attempting suicide. I have told you that you are getting married today and nothing can stop this wedding.

Dad I would gladly end my life am tired of being controlled by you.My life is so boring and am just like a doll that you can manipulate. Let me just end this story once and for all but if you think am getting married to Prince Leon then you keep deceiving yourself.I..... Ohh that's a knife.I need to close this chapter in front of you.I picked the fruit knife and wanted to slit my wrists.

Medea,bring the knife,I said let go.

Now listen to me carefully, tia is coming to make you look splendid so just sit here and if you attempt anything stupid,I will make sure I cut your tongue,he said with a ferocious look after that he left.

Soon after my personal maid Tia came in.

My lady please don't give the king any reason to worry,he looks very worried and frightened.

I nodded in response to her then I noticed some ladies that were responsible for my makeup come in.In an hour time,I was ready.

My lady,you look so beautiful and the gown fits your curve,you look like a queen.Tia was my best maid, she had always made me happy and feel good.

After the whole makeover,the other maids left remaining Tia.She brought out a tiny box and gifted it to me.

My lady am so sorry for presenting you a little gift.You have done a lot for me and now you are leaving us(in tears)please keep the box with you and take it as a wedding gift.After she said all that,she bowed and was about to leave.

Tia,I called her back.Tia thanks for all the confidence and encouragement you always builded me with even if you didn't present me a gift,I would take all your words as a present because they are precious to me and if you need anything, don't hesitate to send me a letter or call with the land line.

Thanks my lady I will always be indebted to you.After that she left in tears.I knew I was going to miss my freedom and everyone because I know I am going to be caged.

I sat down on the sofa and kept thinking of everyone till I heard the door open.it was tia again and I guessed she came to pick me to the banquet.

My lady it's time.
