Kidnapped to live in a Castle

Chapter 42- Goodbye

Chapter 42- Goodbye

_____Andrea's Pov______

Silence. Not just any type of silence, but the type that made you feel drained and empty inside. I felt like a hollow tree with no substance or purpose left for me in the world. I had been staring at the blank wall for two days now but today I had to muster the strength to speak at my daughter's funeral. I still could not believe that my little girl was dead.

Dead?

What does that even mean? Yes she was gone physically but she would remain in our hearts forever. Her memory will always be with us. She will never be forgotten and that sick bastard who caused all this misery will suffer. I will find him and make him suffer, even if it's the last thing I do.

I need to avenge my baby's death.

I walked onto the podium with my eyes lifeless and the only noise made was by my heels as I walked. I felt so empty but I had to be strong for everyone. We had already been through so much pain and suffering. We should just be glad that it is all over and we can continue to live our lives in peace. However, how much peace can one truly be in knowing that no matter how hard they tried to save a life, it would be futile in the end?

I looked around at the packed church and felt a bit warm, knowing that so many people came to pay their respects to Kyra. Everyone looked sad and I could see sympathy in their eyes. I then looked to Nadia who gave me a small smile and nod of the head, as if telling me it would be okay and I can do this.

I took a deep breath and then began.

"Today we are here to celebrate the life of Kyra Edwards. A young and extremely ambitious lady who I am proud to call my daughter." I took a shaky breath as I looked at the congregation who looked remorseful and tears trickled down my face as I continued my speech.

"Although she suffered a tragic fate, she will remain in our hearts forever." I said to the people gathered at the church to mourn the passing of my daughter.

I still could not believe this. To say that I was still in shock was far from how I really felt. I could not fathom the thought of Kyra being dead. My only child. Gone forever.

I began to sob heartily and my husband, Daniel, came on the pulpit next to me to escort me down. He was my support and I appreciated him being here with me. He was trying to be strong for both of us. He squeezed my hand, assuring me that everything was going to be alright.

Purple hyacinth flowers were on her tomb. Why these flowers of all?

It was a gloomy day. Thunder roared in the sky as we left the cemetery and a heavy shower fell.

The service went by quickly and soon Kyra's friends were all at my house. Everyone cried except Lisa. She looked sad but could not cry. I guess since she had amnesia she had no memory of Kyra so I did not blame her.

"Today, I've lost two daughters. My biological daughter is dead and my adopted daughter is going to work in her home town. I will miss both dearly but I know my adopted daughter can visit us at any time." I said, sniffing at the end.

Nadia got up from her seat and embraced me in a hug. Soon, the other girls joined in with the hug.

After, Khloe and Lucy had something to say.

"Nadia, we're very sorry for bullying you. We were jealous of you. We had lost two of our best friends. One came back but forgot us. The other never got a chance to be reunited with us all." Khloe said sadly.

"We just took the change hard. We told people bad things about you so they would hate you. You, however, were still kind to everyone just like Kyra. If we are the reason why you want to teach so far away, please stay. We' re so sorry." Lucy said and began to sob.

Nadia embraced both Lucy and Khloe in a hug.

Nadia, however, did not respond on whether she was staying or not, but I knew her answer already and was happy with it.

_______Raymond's POV______

How does one say goodbye to someone they never wanted to leave? Kyra's death had hit me by surprise. I never expected her to die but I needed her to learn a lesson. You do not mess with me. After all, our vows were "til death do us part" and that is exactly what happened.

Words could not express how angry I was. I was pissed off that she had left me with a baby to take care of all on my own. I despised the baby. It was Ariel's fault that her mother was dead. How was I supposed to take over the world with Kyra dead?

Furthermore, this baby would be useless to me until she was of a reasonable age to claim England and Canada as my own.

All my plans were ruined. There was absolutely nothing I could do. I wish Kyra would have just loved me!

Was it so difficult to love me and do as I please? I gave Kyra everything any woman could ever ask for! Why was she so ungrateful? Her ungratefulness is the reason she is dead and now I have to father our child by myself.

My whole world had fallen apart. How on earth would I ever recover from such a hard blow? Plus, that stupid baby keeps screaming in my ears. I could just put a pillow over its stupid head.

Annoying and stubborn just like her mother. If only she had taken her mother's looks.

Maybe then I would be able to tolerate her.

However, she was the spitting image of me and I hated her for that. Why couldn't Ariel be as beautiful as her mother? Instead, she chose to look like me. I could barely stand to watch myself in the mirror, far less for my own child.

I sat at my bar with a glass of whiskey and I was beyond angry and frustrated.

I was lost.

With Kyra gone, my life was basically over. All my hopes and dreams could no longer be a reality.

Rage completely took over me and I grabbed the glass and threw it at a wall.

"Thanks Kyra! Thanks for nothing!" I shouted in anger.

I began pulling at my hair and screaming in frustration.

Kyra left me in misery. The love of my life was dead and there was nothing left to live for.

I suddenly heard Ariel cries and I screamed at the maids who were taking care of her to shut her up before I come upstairs and do it for them.

If I could not have my happily ever after then no one else would. Starting with my stupid step sister, Amara, I was going to wreak havoc on everyone's lives.
