THE UNEXPECTED WIFE : CHAPTER 21 – 30

By Cisca. H.

Chapter 26: LADY MOREEN’S REPLY.

Enya have waited for another three days before she finally got a reply from her mother.

It was so shocking to her to read that Arwen has gone missing for days now and no one knows of her whereabout.

Enya’s fears grew as she pondered on what Anna might be up to against her.

She knew Anna would do whatever it takes to stop Arwen from writing to her.

She rubbed her forehead, she was growing scared more and more.

The fact that Arwen has gone missing made her wondered if she was dead.

” No, Anna. She will never try to kill her sister.” She doubted her thoughts.

Though Anna might be wicked now, she can not hurt Arwen to the extent of killing her.

There’s got to be a place in her heart that still felt good. She mentally said to herself.

She opened the letter again, reading it for the second time.

It reads;

” I feared I will only create concern to you if I had to tell you so long that your younger sister had gone missing.

We all thought she was out to be alone, or rather have a walk around the city, but we waited for days and yet she never came back.

Anna told us that she did saw her the day she disappeared.

She said Arwen refused to talk to her. She asked several times but she refused to tell her where she was going to.

I regret to say this but Arwen will be the end of me. And her new attitude all started after the night of your wedding.

I know she misses you a lot but, leaving the castle without telling anyone her whereabout is so strange of her.

We have sent troupes all over the kingdom, they are earnestly searching for her.

Not to worry much, I believe they will find her and bring her home safe and sound.

Send my regards to your husband. I still hope to hear the cries of my grand children.

Good bye, my dear. ”

Enya folded the sheet back again, dropping it under the lamp.

Arwen grunted as she slowly opened her eyes, glaring around the dark environment.

The only source of light from the cave was the reflection from the burning candles arranged in four ways.

” Don’t bother your strength, it’s late to react.” Said the witch who watches her from her seat.

Arwen forces her gaze at the old woman’s direction. She was old enough and likely to be in her 70’s.

” Who are you?” She asked faintly.

” You don’t remember? Then I guess my spell really worked. ”

She rubbed her eyes, ” Wh… what are you talking about? what spell? ” She asked again, trying hard to get a clear vision of the lady afar off her.

” Anna, your sister, she is on her way to Brok castle. Hopefully, our plans is going to work. Lady Enya will no longer be Rodriguez’s bride. ”

” No. No, this isn’t happening. I thought this have all ended. No, I wasn’t dreaming, was I? ”

” Indeed. You have been asleep for a week now, thank the heavens I did not extend your days. Very soon, Anna will become the true queen and rightful bride of Lord Rodriguez. ”

” No! ” She cried. ” You can’t let her do that! You can’t let her take what is not hers. Enya is the true bride no one else.

She is innocent, she does not deserve Anna’s evil act. Please, you must stop her from hurting Enya or things will turn out the wrong way. ”

” There is no need stopping her, she is only few miles to the castle. And when she gets there, she will take it all. Every thing that belongs to her one by one. ”

” I have to go, I must report this to the castle. ” She groaned as she stepped out of the flat bed rock, she almost fell but quickly wedged herself.

” And what makes you think they will believe you?” Asked the old woman, hands resting under her jaw.

” Because they are all looking for me.” She replied. ” When I tell them what she is up to, they will not hesitate to stop her.”

The old woman filled the atmosphere of the cave with her laughter. ” Ha ha ha!! Some one is playing with fire.”

” I think that some one is you. You may think my sister is a weak woman, if you and Anna know of what she have become, you wouldn’t waste your time plotting evil against her. ”

” What are you talking about? ”

” You will find out, when the time comes. And then, we will know who really is playing with the fire. ”

She pulled herself out of the cave, finding her way back home.

She leaned against a tree, taking in as much air as her lungs could carry. Home was miles away from there, she’s still got more to cover up.

” Dear God, this is the hour I need your help. Do not let my evil sister harm Enya, do not let her have Enya’s place. It was you you brought them together, do not let anyone put asunder.

Dear God, I know you are up there. I know you can hear me. Please… I beg you, help my sister. Keep her safe, for me and for everyone who loves and cares for her. ” She sighed. ” Please. ”

She pulled herself together, forcing her legs to carry her and she didn’t stop until she was now standing in front of the castle.

” The princess is here!!” Cried one of the guards. ” Inform the King!! ”

Arwen kept breathing like she had walked round the kingdom in a second. She was still standing there until the King and Queen was out.

Lady Moreen ran to her, feeling her to see if she was real or a different version of her bearing the same face.

” Mother, it’s me.”

” Oh, Arwen, why would you do this to me and your father? You have kept us worried sick about you all day, why have chosen to wicked us? ” Lady Moreen wept.

” Mother, I did not chose to wicked anyone, I was only doing what I felt was right to do. I did not know I will only end up getting caught. ”

” Getting caught? ” She repeated. ” By who? ”

” You didn’t hear? ” She moved her gaze to her father who was standing speechless, watching them. ” Where is Anna?” She asked.

” She left to your aunt’s place.” Replied Lady Moreen.

” How long has it been?” She asked again.

” Two days. Tell me, is there a problem? Or have some thing bad happen to her too? ”

” Anna is not in any problem, Enya is. But the problem is Anna and she is in Brok as we speak. She will do everything to get Enya. ”

” I do not understand what you are trying to say, Arwen, please talk clearly to me. What is going on? ”

” This is all my fault, I should have reported this a long time. We need to stop Anna, we mustn’t let her hurt Enya. Please, mother, let’s do something about this. ”

King Neheb saw how hurt she was as she held her mother, now she was weeping.

” Why is Anna after Enya?” He asked.

” She isn’t just after sister Enya, she’s after Lord Rodriguez’s heart. She wants to poison Enya’s mind, to clear every memories she has and have Lord Rodriguez to herself.”

” Is Enya aware of this? ” He asked.

” I think so. ” Lady Moreen said. ” Two days ago, she sent me a letter asking of both you and Anna. I told her you left without saying a word to anyone. ”

” No, I was only spying Anna to the sorceress’s coven. I wasn’t lost, they made me sleep for weeks. ”

Lady Moreen looked at King Neheb who was speechless. If anyone could tell him something like this would end up happening… he wouldn’t believe it.

” How long have this been going on?”

” Anna’s jealousy started the day Lord Rodriguez proclaimed Enya as his bride, but she first went to visit the witch the day they journeyed to Brok.”

” Oh no…. ” Lady Moreen gasped.
