The Devil In Guise - Chapter 137

Angelina blinked her lashes before answering him. Her eyes were teary.

“Your mother did not want us to get married. That’s why I came up with this idea.”

Stefan looked at the door once more. After his mother left with Princess Amara, he told the guard not to let any one in to his room.

“And you think they will keep to their promise ?”

She nodded. He smiled at her innocent mind. She did not know what queen mother Daria was capable of. A woman who could kill her own mother in law without thinking wise was to be feared.

“I don’t want you to get involved. We are leaving Akkad soon” He told her. Stefan went in to the bathroom to check if the water was warm enough to take their bath.

When he came back to the bedroom, Emily, Isabel and Fabulous were with Angelina. They looked happy to see her.

“I was afraid last night” Isabel said sitting next to her. Her eyes were swollen. She cried all night and prayed that her friend survive this.

“Look at your eyes Isabel” Angelina said, holding her face. “You look terrible dear. Was all these for me ?”

“We are glad that you are awake Angelina. Your parents will be worry” Fabulous said.

It’s rained in Akkad yesterday, it will send a message across. There is nothing to worry” Emily told them. She saw Stefan standing at the bathroom’s door.

“Greetings aunt” he said, walking to where she stood. “Your beauty will never fade. It’s makes me wish same for my love Angelina.”

“You love her that much? I am happy for you and the baby as well. He has a great father already” Emily ran her hand through his hair playfully.

“Do you know how much I cherish my hair ?” he asked with a smile.

“I can changed it’s color with a snap of my finger” She slammed back with her hands placed at her waist side. “I have something to tell you and Angelina. Come to this side.”

Stefan wondered what it was. He hoped it was good news. “Emily has something for us. You should listen.”

She smiled at it. Poor child! Fate has dealt another blow to him.

“What is it ?” Angelina asked with curiosity.

“I am leaving Akkad this morning” Emily told them. Their faces became sad but she had no choice. The deal was between her and queen mother Daria. She was going to stay for two days and help with the ritual. Now, it was all done and the time to leave has come.

“Why are you leaving now aunt ?” Stefan asked. “Did my mother told you to leave ?”

“No. not all. It is time for me to leave” Emily said, looking up. “The gods asked to leave Akkad to today. I must listen to them.”

“Wow. Then, I can’t stop you right ?” He asked. “You want to want to leave aunt ?”

“Yes. Take care of Angelina. I fear what is to come. But the gods know better.”

“What are you afraid of ?” Stefan asked confused. Emily was behaving strangely all of the sudden. It was obvious that she was hiding something away from them.

“Nothing Stefan” she kissed his forehead. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Emily went to where Angelina laid and kissed her too. “I pray that you will be happy in your next life. Let no man cast an evil eye on you again.”

With these words, she left the room. In no time, Emily packed her things and teleported to kingdom. She could not sit and watch history repeating itself because of one woman’s wickedness.

“Mother please I am eager to do this. Just tell me what the plan is” princess Amara said. She wanted to do away with Angelina and her baby. If things go well then, Stefan would had no choice than to fall in love with her. After all, she was his legal wife.

“Calm down Amara. There is much to do” queen Mother Daria said with pride. She was the master of the game. Angelina took a step before her and her death was been planned today.

She still felt Stefan’s hands on her neck this morning. It was hard to believe that the son she carried for nine months in her stomach tried to kill her. And it was because of a witch.

“Mother, you told me to look for a mage. I found one this morning but he refused to come along. He said he can only give out advice” Queen Natasha explained. It was very early in the morning when Queen mother Daria woke her up. She went to the village on a horse instead of carriage. Fortunately ,she found a mage easily.

“That’s good. We need every advice we can get. First, The mage must tell us the weakness of the witches. I will pay him very well” the queen mother said. ” we will have more advantage if he tells us that.”

“Is the wedding going to take place mother ?” The king asked. That was his major concern. He was not going to marry a woman and give to his brother. Never!

“Do you think I am stupid ?” She took her fan from the bed and drop it on the table. “I will never allow such a girl in to this family. Being it’s you or Stefan.”

“Mother, we have to act quickly. There is only one day left” Princess Amara reminded. A day left for her to be alone with Stefan.

“Amara , you will take care of the venue. Where the marriage is to take place” Queen Mother Daria explained further. “Natasha will assist you. I hope you know what to do?

Yes queen mother. I will tell the guards to handle it Queen Natasha answered. She hated such tasks. Princess Amara was such a lazy girl.

“What do I have to do ?” Lincoln asked.

“Nothing. Make sure the guards listen to you on that day instead of Stefan” his mother told him . Most of the warriors heed to Stefan’s commands.

“Yes mother. I will keep them under my control” He assured.

“That’s all for now. You may leave” she dismissed them.

Lincoln waited for queen Natasha and princess Amara to leave the room before asking his mother if she was the one that told Stefan their secrets.

“I don’t know who told him about it” Queen mother Daria said. “It’s was a secret and only you know about it.

He rolled his eyes. Lincoln knew that she told her precious Stefan in one of their son and mother’s conversation.

“I am not going to argue with you mother. But how many of our secret does Stefan knows ? All right ?”

“Forget about the secrets for now. Let’s go ahead with our plan” she told him. “When we are through with it, we will look for those that know about our secrets.”

He was left alone with Angelina. Stefan sent the maids who were supposed to help her bath. Even in this condition, he wanted her.

It been long they saw each other.

” I can bath my self, you don’t have to follow me to the bathroom” Angelina said, entering the bathing bowl. She never imagined that he would join her in.

“Then permit me to join you” Stefan said, kissing her bare back. She was naked and skin was warm. He missed everything about her.

When he turned and faced her, he was proud of her Tommy. It kept growing bigger each day. Sooner or Later, their child will be born.

“It’s a girl right ?” Stefan asked, splashing water to her face.

“No Stefan. I am not sure if it is a girl or a boy.”

“I pray it’s a girl.”

“She will love me the more” Angelina joked. Stefan once told her that he hated male children because of the way queen Mother Daria treated females. It’s was not a good experience and she hoped he get over it soon.

“My mind is restless and my soul is troubled Angelina.”

“Why ?”

“I don’t really know. But the fear gripped my heart each second. I am so scared of the unknown. What does future holds for Akkad ?” Stefan asked with tears in his eyes. He quickly wiped them off when he noticed that Angelina was crying too.

“Is there something you know that I don’t know?” She was trembling.

“Don’t be afraid. Come here” He wrapped his hands around her and thought of what of a good song to sing but his brain failed him.

Stefan could not remember the last time he sang.

“I will go and dress up Stefan. I need to eat early today” Angelina stepped out of the bowl. She enjoyed each moment they spent together.

“Should I come and help you get dress ?”

“No. I can do it on my own” she gave a smirked and left for the dressing room.
