ROYALTY

Chapter 57

Why do you keep on doing this to yourself? End everything I am worried, we are worried. He knelt by her side stroking his hands on her hair. She shook her hand, throwing his hand away but in the same time holding her head, trying to stop the world from spinning. I cannot stop it, at least not now, there are only a few days to go, I want to.. I need.. I.. she squeezed her eyes shut as tears poured down her beautiful face. She looked at him.

I am so sorry it had to go like this, there is a lot I am dealing with and I want to bring him to justice. He found a way to stop everything. I do not know how, I cannot explain but I – she looked down at her hands, that rested on her laps. My lady, Patricia her maid that I had just noticed spoke up, I think you are taking it all to hard on yourself, you have barely eaten anything in the past days. I fear for your health my lady. She said as she sat down and held Madelyns hands in hers, looking at her with motherly love. I want it all to end, I am tired, Trenton I am really am. She placed her hand above her heart as she laid back down again, looking up at the darkened wall. If only I had listened, if only I had believed him more, if only- If onlys cannot change the past, Maddie it happened, it happened:

But I tried to correct my mistake, she said as she covered her eyes, I was trying to prevent another heart ache. Angrily she dropped her hands down and looked at the man that knelt before her. You had to make everything worse did you not? Do you know how worried I got, searching the whole town looking for you? You got me worried and scared and I did not know what to do next. And Naomi, she said her eyes looking into the distance, I understand what she is going through, she loves you, I have seen It from the way she looks at you the way she felt pain, the way she stares at you and looks distant. His eyes flashed with anger.

Well congratulations to her then, she would be soon happily married to that bastard. He spat angrily. Did you really tell her that you loved her just to get in between her legs? She asked, Do you really believe that she has not brought some bit of hope into your heart, do you? He slumped down on the cold hard floor. She said yes to him, what do you want me to do? Fight for her. She voiced almost immediately. Fight for something I could not have, you knew from the start she was to perfect, better for me. It was Amelia I was to marry she and i- Are nothing! She screamed:

Amelia is just a toy, not a wife. Do you know the scandal she caused for herself? The whore cannot birth you an heir! Like as if Naomi can. He spat back, a small grin lit up her face. Oh, she will birth you one, sooner than you think. She paused. Look Trenton- No you look, He cut her off silencing them both with his hand. I am tired of your games, I am tired of this whole thing you have made. Your putting more people at risk.

I am trying to do what is right. Tell me will a sane person look at your reasoning as something that is right? I am trying to help Well you helped a lot. He stood up anger flashing in his eyes. Do you even know what you are doing? He gave a laugh and clapped his hands. You are a coward! You wear a hard face yet deep inside your blaming yourself for their death. You know what if you were not so stupid you would have saved two peoples lives that day, instead you let them go, all because of some sweet words that that bastard spoke to you. And you shout at me telling me to use my head and not my heart, you let all this happen and it is your mess to fix.

Wiping at her tears angrily she shouted. What do you think I am trying to do? Play around? What about you? She pointed an accusing finger at him. You used the poor girl, you hurt her! That was because I listened to your advise. He shouted. I only said all I said, did all I did, so that he would not focus his attention on her, so that he would go after Amelia and leave Naomi alone, she did not deserve to be in this mess, the girl has suffered more than enough
