Chapter Twenty One: Accused Wrongly: Carrie
Carrie woke up startled for a minute but then remembered the events that happen before, beside her Jonathan was still asleep with his arms wrapped around her tightly not letting her room to move away from him. She struggle at first but notice the more she struggle the more he pulled her toward him.
"Jonathan waked up" Carrie said shaking him slightly not trying to flinch as her hands touch him.
Jonathan moved then opened his eyes, Carrie at first thought he was awake but then noticed his eyes dull, lifeless, and his breathing still was slow. Jonathan seemed to get on top of her and began unbuttoning his shirt. Carrie tremble and fear seemed to take over that she couldn't move.
"Jo....Jon...Jonathan" Carrie said loudly and struggle against him
"You are mine" he said coldly and began to kiss her, tears roll down her eyes as she curse herself in her head for letting him sleep on her bed when she knew how he acted.
"Stop...Stop!" Carrie said loudly pounding her fist against his chest. He grabbed her by her arms and pinned them up harshly. Carrie let out a scream of pain as she felt him twist her hand hearing a bone crack.
"You are mine" He muttered softly and kissed her forcefully, then ripped away her dress.
"JONATHAN STOP!" Carrie screamed at him and moved her body trying to find a way to escape him. Just as he was unbutton his breaches, the door was knock down and there stood Onyx with fury in his eyes. Before Carrie could blink, Jonathan was thrown towards the wall.
"You ass hole, taking advantage of your wife" Onyx said and punched him in the face.
Jonathan seemed to be snap out of any trance he was in and said
"What is going on? Why are you here?"
"Don't play dumb, if it wasn't for me you would have rape your......Carrie" Onyx said trying to calm himself.
Jonathan saw Carrie's eyes filled with tears and his heart was pounding hard.
"I am sorry" Jonathan said walking toward Carrie but her eyes grew in fear as she got up and stood behind Onyx. Jonathan saw how Onyx wrapped his arms around Carrie not caring about the way she wasn't dress.
"Leave" Carrie said pointing toward the door. Jonathan was about to say something but suddenly palace guards entered the room and surrounded them.
"What's the meaning of this?" Onyx demanded the soldiers hesitated not wanting to say anything.
"I order you as your future king" Onyx ordered strongly
"Future King?" a voice came from the door appearing Nicolas and his parents
The room was silent and anything could be hear even a pin dropping. The sun had rose and filled the room warmly, calming and peacefully. Harvey look at her with pity, Katherine with horror and Nicolas with caring. Carrie notice how they couldn't look at Jonathans way and felt the tension growing thicker, not taking the silence anymore Carrie cleared her throat and asked
"Why are there soldiers arresting my husband?"
"Apart from him abusing you constantly, we also found proof he killed my servant Lillian," Katherine told her
"What proof?" Carrie asked and suddenly felt nauseous
"We found his coat wrapped around her, and on her neck, there were signs of estrangement from his coat" Nicolas spoke then added
"What did Onyx meant he is future king?"
"Nicolas.......you are the youngest....." Carrie started but Katherine interrupted and said
"You had always said that you didn't want to be a king, so we chose your older brother so you could keep on going with your life"
Nicolas looked at both of them thoughtfully but then let out a smile
"Thank you" Nicolas said then ran out of Carrie's chambers and went to tell Elizabeth, while Onyx shook his head but stood with Carrie protecting her. Harvey motion the guards to take Jonathan away, while he screamed at Carrie
"I didn't do it, you have to believe me!"
Carrie just stood frozen looking at Onyx with pleading eyes. Onyx nodded at her and motion everyone to get out, once they were gone she started to cry hating herself for not being strong enough. She felt the world spinnning out of place, everything was blalck and white, her stomach felt light like nothing could be held ther. She ran to the bathroom, vomiting every worry she had, grabbing her hair on one hand and clutching her stomach with other hand.
