THE UNEXPECTED WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
By Cisca. H.
Chapter 24: EVIL DEED (2)
It’s been two days they had visited the beach. Arwen was delaying at sending a letter to her.
This got Enya worried and concerned. Has Anna found out that she knows of her secret?
Is Arwen hurt? Does every thing seem to be alright? Enya decided to write a letter to her instead, trying to make sure every thing was alright.
THE UNEXPECTED WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
After she had sent the letter, she sat on the bed, making a decorative pattern of rabbits on a white fabric.
She thought of her discussion with Riguez at the beach, how sweet spending such a wonderful time with him.
Then the thought of the little girl at the river popped into her mind. It was so difficult for her to tell him it was her.
She was the girl that evening by the beach. The same girl who had saved his life when the other kids thought he was dead.
She couldn’t make it up to her promise because her mother found out about her sneaking out of the palace and made a strict watch over her.
Every day she wrote letters upon letters to him. Though she knew it was impossible to send to him, she only kept it to herself.
And she had a shelf of the letters with no one to read them.
Some times when she was alone and lonely, she imagined him reading one of those letters.
Or she would read it, imagining him by her side listening to every words.
Then he left Pendamour where he lived with his uncle and mother, journeying back to his hometown, Brok.
When Enya heard of the news, she felt so sad. She knew it would be impossible to meet him again.
And she won’t be able to keep to her promise to him. What if he finds someone else? What if there appear to be another little girl by the beach? She thought to herself.
Until that day when king Neheb said about the ball at Brok, Enya felt so much delighted than any of her sisters because she knew she would finally meet the one person after her heart.
Until two days ago, she finally understood why fate had played on her.
” My Lady,” Joana said from the door. ” It’s me, Joana.”
” Please, come in.” Joana made her way in. ” What is it?” She asked.
” You have a letter from Pendamour.”
Enya thought it was from Arwen, but was disappointed to see it was from Lady Moreen rather.
Though she felt happy hearing from her mother, but right now, she wanted some thing more… serious.
She smiled at how disturbed her mother was about having a grandchild.
Though Lord Rodriguez had once asked her about having a child, she explained to him that she wasn’t ready for it.
Not that she wasn’t ready, she was only scared about bearing the pains of making love with him as it would be her first time.
Riguez understood her excuse, and promised to be patient till when ever she was ready.
Mother didn’t say anything about Arwen, does it mean that everything is alright?
But why hasn’t Arwen written to her for the past five days now?
She left for training. Some times she’d go without bothering Jonah, it was only when she needed his assistance, she’d call for his attention.
She was becoming perfect in it and few of the times, Riguez was always there to assist her.
She was only training to get the troubled thoughts off her mind. She won’t bear the chance to hear some thing bad has happened to her little sister.
” Joana?” She called her maid.
” Yes, My Lady.”
” Send a letter to my mother, I need to know how my sisters are fairing. ” She said.
” I will do that immediately.” She left back to the palace.
Has something really gone wrong? Why does she seem so trouble-minded?
” Are you alright?” Riguez asked, pecking her cheek.
” Of course.” She lied.
” You’ve been holding that arrow for minutes now, are you sure you want to talk about it?” She looked at him, hoping he’d see through her mind and read her worries.
” I am fine.” She faked a smile. ” Mother wrote to me this morning.”
” What did she say?”
” She was concerned about us not having a child yet. She seems so impatient about it. ”
” You aren’t ready yet, so we shouldn’t be too forward. ”
” No, I think I am ready. I want to carry our child… your child. ”
Riguez was staring at her, like she had unleashed his hidden happiness.
So long has he waited to have her on him,
his lips on hers. To have a way into her, producing and after effect, one to be called his own.
” For you have asked for it, I will give it to you, wholeheartedly. ”
THE UNEXPECTED WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
But do you think the love will work out with Anna finally making her way into Brok?
Awaiting for the day to reach when she will hatch into action.
For the meantime, she dwell in an old hut where no one can suspect her evil actions.
She keeps reciting ancient words introduced by the sorceress. Over and over again she said it in the spell.
Each night, she called on his name. From the magic water, she’d watch every action he took.
She would stay awake all night, watching as he slept.
Happiness always filled her heart each time she sees him. ” Not for long, sweetheart, not for long. Very soon, you will be mine and I will be yours. ” She smirked evilly.
” And to you, Lady Enya, I am approaching to your doorstep to take what belongs to you and have it all to myself. ” She laughed devilishly. ” Just very soon.” The laughter continued.
She jerked up from bed, breathing heavily. Was it a nightmare, or has she just seen Anna reality?
The ugly laughter kept echoing in her head, that she went to the bathroom to wash her face. Staring at the mirror, she exhaled heavily.
” Arwen, what is taking you so long to reply? Please, tell me you are alright. Tell me Anna isn’t still after me and my marriage. Oh… Oh please, I’m worried. Of course, I am. ”
She heard the sound of the door close, ” Who is that? Joana, is that you? ” She asked from the bathroom.
” My Lady? ” She heard his voice, sighing in relief.
” My Lord.” She said, exiting the bathroom. ” What took you so long? I was… so worried you wouldn’t come back tonight. How was the meeting? ” She asked, taking off her silky gown, leaving the transparent short gown on.
” It was fine. I went to see a good friend of mine after the meeting, it’s been years we last saw each other. ”
” I understand. Would you mind for anything to eat? ” She asked. ” I can call Joana to get in your food. ”
” I am not hungry. ” He said.
” Then I see your friend did serve you something. ” She went to help him take off his shirt. ” Your body is sweaty, you must take a shower.”
” I know.” She spread his shirt on the hanger stand, while he went to take a bath.
She laid on the bed, listening to the splashing water sounding from the bathroom.
She was having this crazy imagination of the both of them, together on each other’s arms that she didn’t notice he was done bathing.
He placed a kiss on her cheek, ” Still awake?” He asked.
” Not feeling sleepy? ”
” Why? ”
” Just woke up from sleep few minutes ago. ”
” I’m sorry I kept you worried. ”
” You don’t have to, I’m happy you’re here now. Come. Come sit with me. ” She adjusted herself for him to sit on the bed.
” There’s some thing that I wish to tell you. Some thing that troubles my heart I think you should know about. ”
” What is it that troubles your heart, My Lady? ”
” It’s… It’s.. ” she stammered. ” It’s about the girl at the beach.”
