The Devil In Guise - Chapter 136

The Author’s POV

The physician applied herbs and assured that Angelina would wake up by morning. She also gave Emily some medicine to give to her when she wakes up.

Stefan took Isabel and Fabulous to the guest room. He promised them that he was going to take care of Angelina and that no harm would come to her.

After speaking to queen Annabelle, he went back to the room. Angelina laid with her innocent face. Despite the pain, she went through she was still smiling in her sleep.

“Forgive me my love. I am the cause of your pain” Stefan said , kneeling closed to the bed. He held her hand and kissed it. This was their second night together. Though it’s was different from the last. It’s was not in a tent but on his bed.

She was awake and not asleep.

He buried his head on the bed and tears rushed out. There was no one to laugh at him or tell him to be strong because of Angelina. Every little happiness he found was taken away from him.

Queen mother Daria has bitten more than she could chewed. It was high time, he do something about it.

A knock interrupted his thoughts. Who was it at this time of the night? The door was locked. Stefan had no choice than to open it.

“Thank goodness , you are awake” Queen Annabelle said, entering the room with some maids. “I brought food and lime juice for you. It’s will make you feel better before she wakes up.”

“I won’t feel better till I get my revenge Annabelle” he said with anger.

She looked at him. Poor Stefan! He was caught up in the family mess and businesses.

“Leave the trays on the table” queen Annabelle said to the maids politely. She wanted to have a private conversation with him. When they were gone, she closed the door and came back to him.

“I found out every thing that happened from the messenger. He told me that your letter was exchanged with the one queen mother Daria wrote. Angelina got her message instead.”

“What ? Are you saying they deceived all of us ?”

“Yes Stefan. That was what mother did. They sent us to Akkad so that Angelina could perform the ritual without us Interfering but it’s did not work out well for them” She was confused. Queen Annabelle tried to put every events in to place but few of them were left. “There is something I don’t understand. Why did we spend a day to go and come back ? It’s has never happened before. Not even the fastest rider has be able to do that. It’s impossible.”

“I know why” Stefan ran his hand through his hair and sat down. He was feeling frustrated. “Emily did it. She used some of her magic, I don’t know how but…”

“So why did she not inform us about this from the beginning ?” Queen Annabelle interrupted. She was curious to know every thing.

“I don’t have an answer to your question, Ann. I think she was not sure of what they were going to do” Stefan replied. “Forget about that. Let’s hope Angelina wakes up before tomorrow.”

“She will dear. Stop panicking” She smiled. “You should leave Akkad with Angelina before it’s too late. I was not able to marry the live of my life but you have an opportunity to.”

Stefan nodded. He was going to take her advice and leave Akkad with his family.

The morning breeze woke her up from her deep sleep. The windows were wide opened. She was not in her room. Angelina tried to sit up but it seemed like someone was lying on legs.

“Isabel” She said, quietly. She looked around the strange room. It’s was very beautiful. The Royals were lucky to have all these. “Isabel , I am awake now.”

“Angelina ?” Stefan lifted his face.

“Stefan , you are here ?” Angelina asked with tears running down her cheeks. She did not believe that he was sleeping on the bed with her. “When did you come back ?”

He moved closer to her and kissed her lips “Which do you want me to answer first ? So many questions for me my love.”

“You don’t have to answer any. I missed you so much.”

“I do too , my love” Stefan brought his nose closed to her. “I came last night and saw you in that condition. Don’t make such decision next time if you don’t see me there.”

She nodded. Angelina knew that queen mother Daria played a game. They wanted to used her.

“I will go and get Emily, Isabel fabulous and Annabelle” Stefan stood up from the bed. “The maids too. You need a bath Angelina.”

A knock came on the door. He thought it was Annabelle.

“Come in” The door is opened.

Queen mother Daria walked in to the room with Princess Amara. They brought gifts along.

Stefan shrugged. He did not want to get angry with them in the presence of Angelina. But why was his mother here? He tried to kill her yesterday and she was in his room this morning.

“Good morning Angelina. I hope you slept well ?” Queen mother Daria asked.

“Yes queen mother. I did” Angelina managed to answer. She did not understand what happened yesterday. Stefan did not greet his mother when she came to the room.

Something happened while she passed out.

“Why are you here ?” He asked.

“I came to ask for your forgiveness. We went extreme miles to achieve our aim. In the cause of doing that, we forgot about our grandchild. An innocent child” Queen mother Daria apologized.

“I will never forgive you mother. Leave my room, your presence is making my child uncomfortable” Stefan touched Angelina’s stomach.

Princess Amara dropped the tray and the items went down on the floor. Stefan was excited to have this child. He did not care about her.

“What was the meaning of that ?” He asked Amara who dropped the items.

“I am feeling dizzy prince Stefan” She said touching her forehead.

“If you are feeling dizzy then what is the need for you to come to my room ?”

“I am your wife Stefan. You should show me some respect” Princess Amara said with her hands akimbo. “I have the right to come to your room anytime.”

“Please get out of my room the two of you” He pointed at the door but his mother did not move.

“I promise Angelina that she will get married after the ritual” Queen mother Daria said. “I came to fulfil that promise today. In two days time , you shall be married Angelina.”

“Marriage? Since when did you make promises with these people ? ?” Stefan asked Angelina whose eyes were shut.

She was going to tell him about it later. If he did not understand her now he might not do that later .

“I have a reason for that Stefan” She touched his hand.

“She wants to marry the king” Princess Amara chimmed in. Her husband was crazy because of this woman. Little did he know that , she asked another man to marry her.

“Is it Lincoln ?” Stefan managed to asked. Angelina nodded. He wanted to leave but she stopped him.

“Allow me to explain Stefan” she said. “If I marry the king, he will hand me over to you as your wife. Why? Because your mother said you can’t divorce Amara and The law forbids you to marry two wives. This was the only way out of this mess that’s why I agree to marry Lincoln.”

Zev was restless through out the night. Both him and his wife did not sleep last night. When it’s rained in Akkad, they were relieved. It was a sign that Angelina was still alive.

“The leader of the coven spoke to me yesterday” Zev told his wife who was baking a cake.

“What did they say this time around ?” She asked with out looking up. Alex was making a cake for Angelina. Her birthday was in two days time but here she was baking a cake already.

“Your mind is fixed on that cake. When you are ready to hear what I have to say , you will..”

“Are you jealous of your daughter’s cake ?” Alex looked at him this time. He was serious. “Sorry, I didn’t know it was important.”

She left the kitchen to the dinning. “What happened?”

“They said Angelina will get married in two days. But it’s wont end well” Zev told her. She was confused just the way he was. The coven always confused them with their strange words.

“Nothing will happen the way they said. My daughter will not experienced those bad lucks again. Tell them to look for another family.”

“Alex , I know you are angry and scared but the coven is never wrong” Zev told her. “We must embraced whatever that comes. For now, I want Angelina to enjoy life to the fullest.”
