Destiny

Chapter 25

*JinHee's POV*

I woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed. Last night i got word that my baby sister HeeYoung had been murdered. My perfect little world that I was just getting comfortable in has officially been ruined. I had been crying all night and Tao treid his best to console me but it was no use. My sisters and I were everything to eachother. "JinHee, he said, please dont cry anymore. Please stop baby... I cant see you like this." I shook my head and sobbed even harder. I didn't want to deal with my life anymore. I wanted to die in her place. Why hadn't they taken me instead. HeeYoung was so young and full of purpose and life." Why did it have to be her Tao?! Why not me?!" I sobbed into his shoulder. "How DARE you?!, he yelled his face was red and he was breathing heavily, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!! Don't you ever try to leave me. You deserve to live! what happened to HeeYoung was horrible and we are all mourning but dont you ever think that you don't deserve to live. Don't you know that If you died I would kill myself. There is no way I'm living without you Kang JinHee. absolutely no fucking way!!" he got out of bed and went into the privy chamber. I could hear him sobbing loudly. I was only expressing my greif.. I didn't want to hurt him.

*KyungMi's POV* 

When I got home last night MiYoung was already asleep in bed with that monster. It made me feel rotten to the core. I was sick to my stomach when I saw him this morning sitting on his throne as if he was worthy of ANY respect. Knowing that he was busy conducting buisness I took the chance to find MiYoung alone. She was in her office writing our sister a goodbye letter as I walked in. "Hey Kyung" she said while dabbing at her eyes and looking up from her desk. "MiYoung, I said sternly, I have to tell you something." She put down her pen and leaned back in her chair. "What is it?" she asked. I told her everything that JongDae had told me the night before. Her eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief and stood up angrily. "Why would you lie about that KyungMi!!! It's treason!" she yelled. "I am NOT lying!! Your husband is a MURDERER! OUR SISTER'S MURDERER!!!" I shouted. "How dare YOU!" she yelled. "Fine dont  believe me, I said, but I know you and I know that I've already planted the seed of doubt in your mind. Go ahead MiYoung! Go ask Him! Make a Liar out of me!" I stepped aside as she stormed out of the room. I didnt want to hurt her but she needed to know the truth.

*MiYoung's POV*

I could not believe what KyungMi had said to me. How could she spread EVIL hurtful lies about my husband?! He loves me... He would never hurt my sister! I walked through the halls and toward the throne room. On my way there I overheard some guards talking. "Why would the king do that to his wife? To have her sister killed? That's horrible! maybe he isn't as great as father." One said. "I don't know but it was gruesome. I was there that night. I had to help drag her to the chopping block while KyungSoo cut off her head. She fought and screamed the whole time. I'm having nightmares about it." The other replied. I couldn't believe what I had heard. My blood ran Hot AND cold through my veins as I rounded the corner and raced to the throne room. I bursted through the doors in the middle of an important meeting YiXing was having and marched up to him sitting on his throne like the pompous ass he was."YiXing! You SON of a bitch!!" I screamed as I slapped him right across the face. Everyone in the room gasped and I started hitting him. The guards grabbed me and started to pull me away. "Put her down! She's my wife!" he shouted. "Like hell I'm your wife! You bastard! How could you!!" I screamed as I struggled to get away from the guards and tackle him. He held his face and sighed. "Clear the room!" he ordered. Everyone emptied the room and closed the doors. "Why YiXing!!! Why" I sobbed. I rushed at him again and started hitting him. He didn't try to resist as I punched and slapped him in the body and face. "Don't you have ANYTHING to say for yourself!!?? I hate you!" I shouted. He grabbed me and threw me against the wall. "MiYoung! I Did it for YOU!!, he yelled, FOR YOU MIYOUNG IT WAS ALL FOR YOU!!!" I stood there shocked and dumb founded. "What are you talking about?!" I yelled. "I got a letter... from Lady Sophia who I JUST found out is my sister today.... and she is furious about me marrying you and letting another witch rule this Kingdom when her mother couldn't. She is jealous and evil and she threatened you. She said that either HeeYoung or you would have to die so damn me to hell but I chose you over her. I'm sorry but I love you and I will always choose you MiYoung. I know you hate me but I did what I needed to to protect you and my family. You are my family...You your sisters and that baby are my family"

I breathed heavily taking in his every word. "So because of a threat she made you killed my sister?" I asked as calmly as I could. "Not only that, he said, but I also found out something from the oracle." I laughed in his hysterically. "You killed my fucking sister or some fucking oracle?!" I asked in disbelief. "He is trustworthy, he said, You dont know it but he's the same oracle that predicted your mother's death. MiYoung I know about your whole life past, present, and future. I chose you because I love you. I chose you before you ever arrived at my uncles palace all those years ago. We were destined to be together and HeeYoung was no good. She had to go." My entire demeanor softened as something in my heart hang on to his every word. "What do you mean she was no good?" I asked. "She was going to kill you, our son, and your sisters. I had to do what I could to protect my family" he said. "Kill me and our son and my sisters? Why would my sister kill us?" I asked frantically. He turned his head away briefly then looked back at me staring intensely into my eyes. I didn't want to believe him but my heart knew that everything he said was true. "She is not your real sister, he said, She is Mistress Lucy and your father's daughter."
