SHAWNA'S POV:
I was broken, engulfed by the darkness that I barely could come out of now. My soul was torn apart and tortured by the love of my life. I lost the last drop of self-worth I had. What was all this for? To have me in his arms?
He lied... He gave me hope, he showed me the stars that was all a lie. The morning I woke up thinking we do have a second chance, but it all went in vain when he mumbled her name in the sleep "Cindy".
The world stopped around me as soon as he took her name instead of mine after the night we have spent with each other earlier. Tears didn't fall. It stopped, frozen as soon as I realise he did this to bring me down on his feet. This was all his plan. A pre-planned game.
I came to WitchDom as soon as possible with the help of Junnie and Jennifer. It was not easy to hide my obsequious nature that morning. But somehow I managed to hide my feelings and come out of ElfLand to WitchLand.
While I was a mess in my room, Grandma walks in. I was in my most vulnerable state. On one look she had on me she understood the pain I was hiding under my poker face. I didn't fight today before I tell her what I went through.
At first, she was shocked, but later she did understand what I am going through. She caress my head as she said-" My dear Shawna, You know when I face my sister in my husband's arms, I lost my faith in love."
I looked up at her who had a small smile on her face, but somehow it was something more behind it. The pain. She continued-" But there was so much more in that. But by the time I was aware of that, it was too late".
Her words confused me. I was not in the state to understand any sort of hidden message. I asked bluntly-" What do you mean Grandma? Your case and mine are completely different"
I was adamant that I want to end this marriage no matter how much I am in love with him. I cannot lose my self-worth. I was a naive girl before who would believe anyone, not now. A lot of things have changed so far and so did I.
Grandma's expression had a sudden change when she stood up and said-" I know, I was just talking about the possibilities dear. Georgia had hypnotized him, making me fool to believe he did cheat on me. But not long before I found out that it was all pre-planned and he was framed. But that was the time... even if I wanted to, I couldn't get him back. Georgia has already killed him, making Jonny and me suffer all alone."
She paused as she stood up and walked away from a little. her voice broke as she began to say again-" Jonny was all alone without a father. I was all alone without a husband... and this kingdom was all alone without a king".
She looked at me with a concerned look and said-" I am not anyone to speak between a husband and wife, but I am saying as a woman to a woman. A breakage between two not only brings the chaos of the two families but" She walked off towards me and hold my shoulder before saying-" You are the queen of the trinity kingdom. This breakage will not only bring chaos between two families... but also the kingdoms."
" So do you mean I should accept all this and stay with him? Despite knowing how he played with my feelings?"- I asked with utmost shock, not believing the words from my granny.
" No, all I am saying before you make any decisions, is think more of the cause behind this." She said looking at me full of concern one last time before she left from there leaving me all alone in the room.
AT ELFLAND, MORNING.
PRIAM'S POV:
I woke up with an empty side of my bed. I stared at the side for a long time as the memories from the last night flashed in my mind. I smiled when the scene of our intimate time when she has endeavoured into me came to my mind. I cannot ignore the fact she was looking like a fallen angel in my arms. I waited for this moment for long years and finally, I was able to make her MINE. All mine.
I have loved her like a crazy person all these years. Not forgetting any of her memories from my mind. I was lost and hurt when I saw her kissing Felix. She chose her over me.
I could never accept this. And my father's death added more pain to what I already had. The nights I spent locking myself in the room was mostly spent thinking all about her. I wanted her to be mine. My love for her has become an obsession that I barely could control.
All these years were hard for me. Trying to forget her, yet being obsessed with her. After a long period, I was finally able to take control of my feelings. I became stronger. The king this kingdom would bow down to. The man she would feel proud of. I worked hard day and night. And now I am the king of Trinity lands.
People fear me, respect me and love me at the same time. I achieved all I could to be the better man she deserves. But she still loves him. I couldn't take risks, so I made the plan to marry her by the cunning act.
Cindy is no one to me. I have only loved and will be on;y loving Shawna for the rest of my life. But I cannot see her eyes which were filled with love for another man. I want to make her suffer. Like I did. I still remember the day when I went to her room with the roses and saw her kissing Felix. It broke my heart into million pieces as it could scatter. I have used Cindy to make her jealous and feel what she made me.
I have always loved her, cared for her showed my affection towards her, still she chose a traitor. She chose him over me, that will never leave my mind. Losing my sanity I am all on the verge of making her feel remorse for what she did to me.
I wanted to give her a chance. I want to love her. Only when she is ready to come to me, leaving behind all the past of her. But she was too stubborn. her acts had only shown how much she hate me.
Yes, yesterday I felt Jealous. Jealous when another man dared to touch her. Though Jordan was a good man and love Jennifer, still the fact of him touching her didn't leave my mind for a second. I wanted her. I wanted to have her all like mine. Mine to hold, mine to touch, and mine to call.
I lost all my self-control before I devoured myself all into her and her being mine. The love we made was the most amazing night I have spent in my entire life so far. The peace of her having in my arms, under my touch, under my sight, and with marks of mine, she looks too beautiful to handle.
While she slept, all I could do is to stare at her all night. I whispered-" thank you for giving me the best night of my life love. I hope we could stay like this forever. Only if...." I stopped looking at her with twinkling eyes-" You accept me as yours too."
When finally she woke up with the sunlight, slightly kissing her rosy post glow cheeks, I acted to sleep. She kissed me. For a second my heart skipped a beat, but then... I know all she was trying to play with me. Like she did before. I couldn't afford to break my heart once again, so I said while acting to sleeptalk-" I love you... Cindy."
For a second I was going to take her name, ruining my plan completely. But I hold on, as planned she was hurt and I saw her leaving the room with a heavy heart. Honestly, It broke me to see her like this, but it was all her who started this. And I would be the one who will end that. She has seen the love of Priam, now she will see the hate of Priam.
AT JORDAN'S COURT:
JORDAN'S POV:
I was ruling the ElfLand for years as my duty. I have always loved this country more than anyone. But I have finally found my home. Jennifer. I fell so hard for her that I cannot wait for more to make her all mine.
This is why I gathered all the important members of the country to discuss a few matters. I invited King Priam too.
" I have asked to gather all of you to discuss a few things... rather we can say a few announcements."
People of Elfland looked at me with a little shock as they waited for the news. They were already scared of the fact that kids were getting abducted anonymously in the kingdom and we are yet to find the solution for it.
Paradise of doom is my first home, I love the people and they have loved me equally. I have to do something for them I know. This is why I have taken a few decisions.
" Thank you for gathering here today. I know the fear of losing your dear ones has laundered around you, but I promise I will find the reason very soon, and just so you all know, We are very close to it now."
I could see a glimpse of hope in their face. I explained what we went through. How Jennifer and others have helped us and how we are very close to finding any clue now. And with King Priam, it was easier for us now.
I announced-" I am glad to announce that King Priam had offered his hands to help us in our need. I Jordan Morway, the ElfKing, promise in return we will always be with you, I any of your need." I offered my hands towards King Priam, who gladly offered.
The people of ElfLand were shocked to see a Wizard and Witch before them, but they have accepted as soon as they heard that King Praim is here to offer help. Now the portal is being opened and secured by our guards to keep an eye on and record every person who passes through. Junnie, offered her help too as Jennifer stood beside me.
Now the time for the final announcement-" And now, I am proud and honoured to announce that you all have found your new queen of Paradise."
A against gasp can be heard from all the standing crowd as they impatiently look at me waiting to see the face of who will take the throne beside me. And I was very happy and proud to present the woman who has stolen my heart. I said-" Your former queen shall be Miss Jennifer"
I sat on my knees making her eye get wide and a small gasp leave her mouth. Despite proposing to her before I want to make it official now. To show her off as mine. As much as I can, I want to pamper her. give her the love she deserves.
I traditionally put a ring on her finger once again as she said yes. The crowd cheered for us in joy as I kept my eyes locked on her. She was happy and glowing. the promise I made to her I will always cherish.
The only thing left now is to visit WitchLand and announce the treaty between two lands and kingdoms. It would work in two ways, the strength and unity will be stronger in the future battle and second, the one who is behind this will come to know us being merged. They will surely try to reach the portal for another attempt or rather will do something to hide their past mistakes. people always act stupid when they rush or are scared. This was our Idea.
I wanted to tell Queen Shawna and invite her personally, but she has left without notice. King Priam and Junnie told it was an official emergency.
Not to worry we will be visiting there soon after the marriage. As we decided, the wedding is set for the very next month. King Priam had gone over to WitchLand to announce the treaty and bring Shawna and his few members to the wedding. He will take care there with the news of our treaty and all other things. We have all is a month now!!!
I am gladly waiting for the day.
