Chapter 16

~Once the heart gets too heavy with pain,, people don't cry. They just turn silent. Completely silent.~

At night when everyone was sleeping,, Elle,,max's wife decided to talk to her husband who was not yet asleep. The pain had died down with the help of the healer's medicine.

" I think it is time we send Sophia away. She is just a burden to us don't you think so?" Elle questioned.

" Why do you say so because the last time I remembered she is our daughter."

" She is our daughter because Ana made her one. She is just a burden to us. First she can't speak, secondly she is not even our biological daughter. My daughter is already married to a rich family,, what makes you think I like Sophia?" It had been bothering her for so long. To feed a child that did not belong to them .

Elle hated Sophia because she was more beautiful than her own daughter, it was good that she was mute. She did not understand why her husband loved her like her young daughter. Now that Becky was married it was good to either send her away or sell her.

She would sell her and lie to her that she was going to get married. With her beautiful face it was only going to fetch them a good amount of money.

" You don't have to bother yourself, Ana said that she would ask for a chance so that Sophia can work as a maid." Saying this he fell asleep. Elle thought that that was a good idea.

***************************

On the other side,,in one of the rooms that was dark except for the little light passing through the window from the moon, a young man sat by the window. The following day was going to be big day for him but he was not happy. It was going to be his day but he wished not to be present, yet he could do nothing because his parents needed him there.

He looked at his hand which held a bracelet. He could not remember how he came to own such a thing that was of low quality when compared to his high status. He was a man of stature and he hated associating himself with things that were of no value.

His thoughts took him back to when he was young where he met a young girl,the problem was that her face was invisible while her name he couldn't recall. What he didn't understand was why on this particular day he remembered her. It seemed like his mind was conjuring up things.

Prince Aiden Harlow,,the crowned prince of Generia Kingdom had grown up to be a fine and handsome man. He had warm brown eyes like his mother which held no warmth at all. He was tall and had a well built body due to all the training he had as a king to be. His black hair was well combed even if it was at night.

Going to bed it was right if he slept before the following day began. It was going to be a long tiresome day where he had to tolerate all the nonsense from people who were just showing a facade, silly people he thought.
