Lizzie was such a beautiful soul.She was like my sister from another mother.He raped her and forced her to do an abortion that took her life.I remember seeing her dead face and made to tidy up the room.My heart still tries to fall out of my chest anytime I remember.May her soul rest in peace.Tears was already welling up in my eyes.I prayed that I never be his victim.I had not finished my prayers when I heard, your boobs are getting bigger,he said as I park up the plate to face what I was cooking.I was so angry ,my face puffed up in anger yet deep inside fear was taking the better part of me.I said to myself calm down,you know their kind.He will take advantage of that.I composed myself and behaved as if he was not talking to me.He came closer and closer to me .Each step he took was a dread to me and made my confidence dwindle.
When he reached close to me,he touched my boobs . I shouted so loud that anyone in the castle would hear me but instead the maids that came behaved as though they saw nothing and left hurriedly.Leave me alone!I shouted again but there was no one that came .Edward laughed at me hysterically and said no one can save you from me.
He then forcefully held my neck with one hand caressing my breast and my waist with the other hand.I screamed shouted but no one came to my rescue.and that's when I knew that it was me and this monster alone in this fight.The situation had even gotten more worse
as he already tore my clothes and started kissing my breast with his foul smelling tongue.I started looking around the kitchen with sweat over my body .I stretched my hand
to the pot cover seeing that his eyes were fully focused on my body.I hit him hard on the head several times.I was never going to allow that fool to take my virginity.He was bleeding and I did not care.All I cared is that his irritating tongue had finally left my body.At this point,I did not care what the repercussions wouldbe.It is at this point that he left as I continued my duties and no one bothered to ask what happened . When I had fully recovered from the shock of what had happened and my overwhelming duties.I walked lazily and very tired to my room, finally getting the time to reminisce on the activities I did today and that's when I said to myself who even gave you such morale.I chuckled but then became sad again as I remembered Lizzie.After all ,I will still to share the same fate if I had allowed him.I used it to console myself.The next morning, twinkle was called by maid Elizabeth,the king personal maid.The king is calling you now! I do not need a soothsayer to tell me it was because of yesterday's. Immediately ,I opened the door to the king's chamber.A hot slap that sent my cheek red and burning landed on my face by my stepmother.How dare you!She blabbed as usual,You filthy rag.What gave you the audacity to touch my son.I see I have not dealt with you properly.When she finished at least,I hoped my father would ask me what happened.Instead his next word made me know that I was an orphan .The king said take her to the dungeon and give her 50 strokes of cane.I begged my father crying but instead he pushed me and my head hitted the wall making me to bleed.I was flogged everyday receiving 50 strokes of cane with no food.It was very clear that the prince was lying yet my father choosed to give me this kind of torture.The only time I received less stroke of cane was when guard martins is on duty.He was the head guard.He would flog me less and also sneak in food for me to eat.He was the only anchor I held on to.
Two weeks later,I was released .I thought he would have forgotten.I mummured as I was released.At least death would be a better dwelling place than here.I looked at myself,I was looking very very demaciated.
Ever since my release ,my stepbrother found it an everyday routine to molest me.The only thing that saved me was that anytime he tried to go more than kissing and fondling,there would be an urgent distraction.This whole situation triggered my mental and physical wellbeing.I could not tell martins for fear that he might dislike me too.One thing I thanked God was the strength he gave me.Even when I felt like giving up,I have always seen reason to not give up.
As I finished my routine that day beign the last person to sleep.I decided to check on martins since he asked me to be his girlfriend and I told him I would give him a reply.He was on patrol that night in the king's room.When I got there ,I saw that there was no guard, creeping slowly for fear of my Father.I heard my stepmother say let us use twinkle.Remember you are planning on running a campaign,it will help you.Instantly,I knew I was the topic.So I got closer and heard my father said okay,you are right.Tears flowed from my eyes.I rushed to find martins with determination to lose my virginity.I know that once I do it I can not be used but I met the worst scenerio.I saw martins grinding a girl and kissing the girl.What broke my heart was that the girl asked him then why are you following that good for nothing princess.He said she is just a bet I want to win.I could not hold it either, I ran to my room crying bitterly.I was more than hurt.Why is it that every men in my life had done nothing but caused me pain?I said to myself as I cried .Is it a curse?Just then a maid entered my room.You fool,the prince wants your presence in his chambers now.What was it this time,I mummured knowing what the repercussion would be if I made him angry and not answer him.I could not wait for the moon festival again at least death would be better than this life I lived.
I went to Edward room,knocked and entered when I heard come in.When I entered he was putting on a boxers like one waiting for a prey.He then said,you know we could have so much fun together.I can make you feel heaven and give you beautiful memories you can take to the land beyond.He slowly ,walked to where I stood his voice low and menacing.Leaving me with sweat all over my body hoping that he do not get his way
His fingers tiptoeing on my hand with deliberate slowness.Instantly,his mother arrived doing what she knows best,she shouted at me without any question and gave an order that I work till the next morning.
The next day,the long awaited day came.I was escorted by the King,his son and 2 elders to the Forest.The journey was so long and my eyes were swollen and my body aching from the all night work.I couldn't count how many times I fell down and got up again.I could not take it again,I fell down .I was too weak .I am thirsty.I cried out.Thats when my father King Josh asked my brother to search for a nearby river .While they rested.I followed my brother.We searched a little while and it was not hard before we found a river.As I rushed to drink water,Prince Edward my stepbrother dragged me forcefully and pinned me to the ground in a bid to forcefully rape me.I shouted leave me!I was struggling in his hands when someone hits the prince.They were four hefty men,well built.I ran to drink water as my throat was on fire.It was while the prince was shouting that the king and the 2 other men came.The prince was already covered in his blood.Next,one of the men who looked like the leader said chop his hands off.His hands were immediately chopped off and I saw him shouting and screaming.I had never seen my daddy begged before but I saw him begging and for once in my life king Josh felt helpless.I hated the prince to the core but seeing his state now ,I could not do anything but feel pity for him.Truly, karma is a bitch.The leader among them then turned to the king josh and said didn't you teach him that anything that has the king's name attached to it should not be mishandled ?He is lucky , if not he would have counted himself dead.
I saw the men bring out 10 bags of money and then added one bag and said for compensation.I followed them after the deal was closed.The money involved in the ritual made me wonder if there was something more .Was this not suppose to be a ritual,How is money involved?I asked myself.As we reached a particular junction,we entered into lines of car.It was like an adventure for me because I have never entered even the smallest car.
As we drove,I couldn't deny the aura and power that were emanating from these men.The leader voice speaks authority and you do not need someone to tell you he was the head.The aura they eminated could not be compared to the king or the noblemen in our land.I had never seen any beign or dignitaries bear such aura around them .If they are like this,I wondered how the king would be.Still,I could not deny the perfect alignment of the men's bodies.They were people really created on the last days.Their bodies like heaven that every girl would wish to call their dwelling place.Ah! Martins was a nobody when compared to them.I came back to reality talking senses to myself,I said who talks of man when they are on the path to death.I still couldn't shake off the money deal that was given to my father but the men's aura were tok suffocating,I could not breathe not to talk of answering their questions.We finally reached the king's palace.It was nothing compared to what I thought of.I was expecting to see an old house but here I was seeing the most expensive and fine house ever.Novels did no Justice to the houses.It was like heaven.The men escorted me to an office where I was asked to wait.I saw the three men greet other guards and went out.While the leader was bowed to .He knocked and entered the office.They were having a conversation ,their voice tiny that not even someone near them would hear.All I heard is Davis and king.Soon enough,Davis came out and told me that the alpha will see me in a little while.When will I be killed?I asked him,I was already tired of this life and was sure death is a better option.Davis looked at me surprised,laughed gently as he does and walked away.
I looked at my self,was I wrong?Am I not meant to be killed?
