Games Of Destiny

chapter thirty eight

I just can't believe who I just saw, my foster family were here. They were all sitting on another table except for Clara, I wonder where she is? I looked back at the dance floor to see Fiona dancing with the prince, she looked totally bord at his presence. Monica had told me everything that happened, Fiona is betrothed to Tyler and they are to be married soon. She told me that the main reason that Fiona is not yet married was because of the king was still single then. But now that he is married, their wedding will take place soon. That explains a lot, but I still want to know why she is so upset about it? Tyler seems nice, and he looks really in love with Fiona.

" Good evening my Queen!" I was brought out of my thoughts by a familiar voice bowing at me. I was sitting alone at our table, the king went somewhere with his blonde friend, his best man, Bruce. He hasn't yet told me much about him, I found out his name back at the church, Bruce is not his only friend, there's Mike and Williams, who by the way were busy drinking and  flirting around. They were all handsome but nothing compared to my husband, not that I'm being selfish or anything...
However, the name Williams reminded me of something or someone to be exact, maybe from my past? I wonder who the person could be? I turned to see aunt Rose standing in front of me, her hands at her back, her eyes looked sad, I wonder what happened now?

" good evening " I said, giving her a small smile. She tried to smile back but she failed miserably, she looked nervous. Well why wouldn't she be after everything she did to me. But no matter what had happened, I can't hate her or any of them, they are still family to me no matter what, and I can't deny the fact that they still helped me at the time of need.

" I-i um, I'm I just " she couldn't make a complete sentence, and before I knew it she bursted into a light sob. I wasn't expecting that, I quickly stood up and hugged her, she cried harder and I did my best to calm her down.

" look, I don't want you to cry about anything... " I was saying but she cut me off

" no just let me say it" she said, after breaking the hug " I'm really sorry for what me and my family did, I'm so ashamed of what we did, we were so blind about our greed for money that we forgot about everything else. I'm so sorry, I truly am" she finished and sobbed again.

" its OK! I forgive you. You don't have to worry about it, I don't have any grudges against you or anyone else. Actually I'm glad you attended the wedding, it means a lot " I said smiling at her, she looked at me surprised, but most of all she looked more at ease

" how can you be so nice to us, even after what we did to you?" She asked looking at me, I smiled at her, deep down I don't even know why or the answer to that question

" let's just say that as the Queen, I have to love and consider the feelings of my people, but I don't just see you and your family as my people, you are also my family and I don't care what anyone says about it. All I just hope is that you also consider me a part of your family?" I asked her, and she nodded continuously, I brought her in for another hug, a lone tear escaping my eye.

" Thank you so much Ariana, you are such a good person " she said smiling at me after breaking the hug, I smiled back " o my! I made you cry and that too on your wedding day, I'm sorry" she apologized and i shook my head at her still smiling

" its OK! I'm fine" I said, I felt strong arm on my waist, the familiar scent drifted to my nostril, I recognized who it was. I saw rose bowed down and greeted the king

" greetings your Majesty!" She said to the king and he just nodded,

" So what were you both talking about? " he asked smiling but his words held commandment.

" oh! Nothing, I was just congratulating our new Queen, I'm so proud of her" she said looking at me with pride in her eyes.

" Really? So how did it result to my wife crying? " he said, his hands still tight around my waist, like if not I would disappear. What baffled me most was how he noticed that we had cried, why does he wants to know about it anyways? Its between my aunt and her I. Aunt was about to answer him when i spoke
