Chapter 3: An Angry King

Claudia

"CLAUDIA!!!" Charles screamed my name. I felt no effect. I found out about this whore and her plans to destroy my twenty-five year old marriage. I was sixteen when I married Charles, did she really think that I would let him go just like that?

I had a bug on each and every one of his electronics. Work and personal. I knew everything from scratch. I implanted a GPS bug into his ear after I had Zeus since I wasn't going to be there with him all the time, there was no way that I would have not found out.

I followed him, traced him and actually paid the nurse at the little boy's hospital to inform me about everything. The boy was healthy and heavily loved by Charles, he was actually considering making him an heir to our empire. I was going to kill that child, slowly. But for now, I had the mother to deal with.

"Put the gun down!" Charles screamed. I put my index finger on the trigger, leaving only enough space for the tension to squeeze between my finger and the trigger. I wasn't angry at Hilary or Charles. I was pissed at Mason. He had the nerve to pose as a threat to my son's legacy, even at three months of age. I was going to kill him.

Suddenly, I felt a hand go on my shoulder. It squeezed me. I looked to my right and saw Hera looking at me pleadingly. I then looked back to my left and sneered.

She had that power over me, my little lamb. My mind was racing with options. Kill Hilary, kill the child. Maybe even kill Charles. Or I could back down and take my revenge slowly but surely.

I put my gun down. The whore started crying, in my house. She wailed out heavily at the predicament she was in, seeing herself being buried alive already, and knew that she could do nothing else but shed her tears, though not even those could help her.

"Shut her up." I said to Charles who immediately pulled Hilary into his arms and calmed her down. And she thought I would be easy on her.

"Ma, once your bullet is shot, chaos will break loose. You shoot, daddy shoots, you kill, he kills. We don't want any of that so sit down. Please." Hera whispered in my ear, and I obeyed. She took her seat and maids ran in to clean up the glass.

Charles sat Hilary down on his right side and he sat across from me at the table.

Mona looked at me and then at Hilary and I chuckled. She wasn't going to eat my food, she was going to starve. I shook my head and she turned back to the others.

"Uhm... as we were." She said. They all closed their eyes and I kept my eyes on Charles, who was also staring at me.

"Lord, bless the food we are about to eat today and bless the hands that have prepared it. Please, I ask you Father, to love and guide us unto the correct path that will lead us to your heavenly home, and our heavenly home. I ask that you forgive our sins and also forgive those that have sinned against us because they don't know what they're doing. Give them redemption Lord, cleanse their hearts of any evil, sorrow or hatred which they possess. We as humans sometimes struggle to realise when we are being tempted. I pray that you close our human eyes Lord, and open our spiritual ones so that we can be able to see your glory ourselves. From this day on to one and all, I pray. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen."

The anger inside of me for that child averted to Charles. He tried to betray me. I was there from the start. I lost my childhood for him, and now he dared to leave me. He was out of his stupid mind if he thought that I was going to let go that easily.

Hilary kept sobbing, but she didn't get my attention. She was going to die anyway.

I was ready. Prepared. I knew he wanted to bring her here when I got a call from one of his delivery men. They told me their exact location and I paid them millions. Loyalty.
