The Devil In Guise - Chapter 129
**
After the coven left , she became more confused on what to do. It would be nice to help the royal family, after all Queen mother agreed to wed them.
Helping them would be a way of showing gratitude.
“What is on your mind?” Alex asked. Angelina seemed stressed which was not good for her or the baby.
“Mother I need your advice. I am confused on what to do. The coven does not want me to help queen mother Daria” Angelina said.
“Yes I understand. They don’t not want you to get in to trouble again. Your trouble is theirs also” Alex explained to her. “They want you to understand and think before making any decision. We don’t want you to make mistakes Angelina.”
She stroked her daughter’s hair. This would not have been a problem if Fabian was here. He was good at making decisions but he left.
“What will Stefan say if I refused to help his family when they needed my help ?”
“You shouldn’t think about that. I am sure Stefan would not allow you to put the baby’s life in danger” Alex sat beside her. “You and the child first. Everything comes behind Angelina.”
She was afraid. Losing the love of her life, but it was not going to be funny, if she loses the baby…
“I will go mad if any thing happens to my child mother” Angelina said, bitterly, placing her hand on the stomach. She was sure Stefan would do same for their child.
“So what is your final decision ?”
“I am not going to get involved in their business. I am just Angelina a young girl from the slums” Angelina answered. Who would think that her mother was a queen before she gave birth to her and Wonder.
The story was been told in the coven. How Princess Amara’s father took over all their lands and treasure. The old treasure that laid beneath the palace was their.
She was glad that nobody knew about this. They all thought she was just one of those migrates that moved to the slums.
“Angelina, Go and take rest. You are stressed out dear” Her mother kissed her cheeks before standing up from the seat.
“Thank you mother. I will rest a little” Angelina went up stairs. Alex looked at her innocent child who they said she was cursed.
She started crying. There was no one in the living room. She could not hold these tears back.
Alex fell on the floor and put her hands on her knees as she cried. She blamed herself for everything. If Angelina was not born then this would have been happening. They were the one that brought her to this world to suffer.

“Why is Angelina the solution to our problem ? She is just one of those girls from the slums. A daughter of nobody” Lincoln was angry. Why did fate drew them back to that cursed girl whom chosen his brother instead of him. She even went ahead to carry his child. He did not know that she was this desperate.
As days, passed by, he hated her the more. Maybe it was because of the child that was growing inside of her.
“Slums? Her kingdom was taken over many years ago” Emily stood up and started walking around the room. She was observing the pictures on the wall. They were of Queen mother Daria and the late king. She was jealous. This was taken away from her. And the time for pay back had come.
“I don’t understand. Which kingdom is she from?” The queen mother asked. She noticed that women of the house were through with their meals. “Natasha, you should all back to your sons and attend to them.”
“Are they not your daughter in laws ?” Emily asked. She nodded. “Let them stay, who will tell the story to our children ? Who knows who will survive the next year ?” The witch laughed. It’s was not funny when it’s came to death. She knew that her questions sent cold shivers to the spines of each one of them.
Queen mother Daria looked at Emily. Was she here to help or torture her? She promised to forget the past. Why was she feeling like Emily came for revenge?
Stefan’s laugh interrupted her thoughts. Her son was misbehaving ever since, he kissed Emily’s hand. She had a feeling that the witch had charmed him. “Stefan put your self together. We have a visitor”
He stopped laughing and nodded. That was a relief.
“Angelina is the daughter of king Zev. That’s all I can tell for now or forever” Emily smiled at them. “So you see, she is not different from all of you with little crowns on your head. Wait.. there is a difference. Her people never discriminate against her gender.”
“Really ? I love that. Female children are better than the males in some aspects. I wished had one” Stefan said. The reason he did not like male children was because of his mother and brother. They never respected a girl.
He was wondering if Angelina knew she was a Princess. If she did , why not tell him? Hearing it’s from people was hard to believe. He believed in her and her alone.
“There is no difference between you and father . I hope you inherited his character as well? This days , it is hard to find a child that has a good character and personality. Such a fine face you have there” Emily complemented. The only way to create a gap between the family. She was going to make the daughter in laws to hate their mother in-law, the sons against each other and the mother in law against one of her sons.
“So how are we going to convince Angelina to help?” Queen Annabelle spoke. She lost hope when they mentioned Angelina as the solution.
“It’s simple. Just like your husband said, the girl is from the slums. Why won’t she help the royals. It’s a simple task to do” Emily said, dropping her napkin. She did not enjoy the meal , no matter how delicious the cook prepared it. Revenge was on my mind. This time, only her death was going to save them, hopefully.- Don’t forget, She was a thousand years old and killing her would not be easy.
