"Why am I being summoned to my own-" my mother started but was stopped by Jasper holding up his hand to silence her. He turned towards me then bent a the waist.
"Please sit down. If it makes you feel better, think of it as a power move that will piss them off." he whispered to me. In my angry state, I accepted his reason.
So I sat down as Jasper sat in the King's throne. I watched as my mother lost it. She started going off but I paid no mind to her as Jasper intertwined our fingers. Catherien just dropped down in a curtsy as she watched Jasper sit down. I could see that something was going on between the two that I did not know about.
After Catherien noticed that Jasper was unyielding in his gaze, she shouted, "15.9." Hearing that, my mother froze. Then after a second, she hurried my sisters into a curtsy. She followed not long after the two. I wonder why that one word made her act so strange?
I looked over to see Jasper motioning for them to finally stand. I was stunned to say the least when my mother followed his orders after her shocking display towards Jasper and I.
"What does 15.9 stand for?" I whispered to Jasper as a leaned towards him. He just looked over at me with a giant smile then motioned for Jake to bring in Edward. Chloe gasped and let out a little whine as a beaten Edward was dragged, as he struggled, to the front of the room. I guess that I will just have to ask him another time.
Once they made it to the bottom step, Jasper stood and said, "As of yesterday, Jake has been employed by Braxton as a diplomat to handle all questions and transfer of possession of Braxton and Ive assets. If any of you bother me, Duke Ashby, or Melianna about them, I will have you arrested and thrown in the tower. If any of you dare to lay another hand or speak ill of Melianna, I will take it as an attack on me or my family and you will be dealt with accordingly."
I watched as everyone nodded in acknowledgment to Jasper. Once he got the confirmation to go to Jake, he continued. "Now, Chloe come here." he commanded and she walked up next to Edward. "Melia do you have anything to say to anyone?" Jasper whispered to me and I nodded. So he let me speak my furry with my family.
"Chloe, keep a leash on your husband. If he remotely comes near me again I will kill him. I do not take unwanted advances from married men very kindly. I am not a whore unlike you and Annon." I said with as much hate and disgust lacing my tone. I watched as Annon stormed to the front but was stopped by Ash. "Yes, Annon?" I asked her with a cold tone.
"I am not a whore." she stated, trying to defend herself.
"Save it for someone who actually cares. Besides, Edward already told me all about it told. This will be the last thing I will ever do for you again. You are worth more than being a mistress to your sister's husband. You are a princess. Dad raised me to give kindness where it is needed; but to show unrelenting force and fury where it it deserved." I said with my chin raised high. "Mom," I said to gain her attention, "I am sorry for whatever I have done to gain such hatred and horrid treatment from you. I hope one day that it comes back ten fold on you and I wish I am the one to give it to you."
After I finish, I walk out of the throne room leaving everyone behind. I was able to hold in my tears long enough to make it to my room. Once inside, I change into a black pair of pants, white top, black riding jacket, and a pair of ridding boots. As I was about to sit down to wipe of my makeup, someone knocked on my door. Opened it to find Bella.
She hurriedly handed me my long sword with it's belt. Once I was firmly holding it, she said in a whisper, "Ms. Melia you need this. I did not give it to you. I need to go. They are coming. Go find Jasper." After she said her last word, she hurried down the hall.
