OnuIdu(The Lion King):Period of the British

Chapter 29

Almas POV

I hurried up to my chambers as the warm yellow evening began turning dark , I pushed the huge door open and rush to the dresser. I sat down panting from the sensual moment I've had with Furqan. I stared at my glowed reflection in the mirror with my fingers tracing the part of my face he had kissed. I closed my eyes enjoying every bit of it as my mind wandered back to the moment he was showering kisses all over my face, my fingers proceed to different parts of my face.. My forehead.. My ears.. My cheeks.. how he tenderly kissed and suddenly my fingers moved to my lips. Where I desired most to be kissed by him.. I opened my eyes as tears gathered on my eyelids. The amorous moment I was having quickly vanished. Why is it hard for him to marry me? Keeping me here like a concubine! A cheap concubine and mingling with his actual concubines is unbearable.

"Ebule. You're back! Your bath is ready oma'onu.(Princess). Nigo said bowing.

After the soothing bath I climbed on my bed and waited for sleep to take over me.

I felt a hand covering my mouth and dragging me out of the bed. What is going on!? I struggled to breathe and tried to jerk the hands away from my mouth and nose but it was a lot stronger than me. I felt some kind of powered substance in my nose, I began feeling drowsy and blacked out.

I tossed and turned until I was able to open my eyes slowly, my eyelids felt heavy and swollen. I covered the sunlight piercing my eyes. "You're up my beloved. I froze and peeped at the owner of that familiar voice. Hakeem?? "What.. what are you doing here? I asked confused.

"The question is.. what are You doing here? Hakeem said emphasizing on the 'You'. Smiling.

I slowly sat up from the bed hissing due to the weakness I felt in my body. "Careful. Hakeem said helping me up. I jerked his hands away.

"You kidnapped me? I asked again looking straight at him.

"You're missing something, I rescued you. He said again smiling warmly.

"From what? I asked getting angry. Hakeem frowned his brows and bent his head lower to me. "Furqan? He said looking confused.

I exhaled and crossed my arms around my chest. "This is totally unnecessary, besides I have made peace with OnuIdu, he didn't kill my family after all and infact he had rebuilt my kingdom. So, he's no longer my enemy. Please let me go. I said pleading.

Hakeem raised his brows amused. "Whatever spell that bastard has casted on you better be cleared. He treated you like a slave, called you names, almost killed you! No matter what he did to fix everything, I can't believe you're too stupid enough to forgive him so soon. He spat disappointed.

I looked away not wanting to say anything further.

"You're mine to keep, Ebule, can't you see we're meant to be!? He said coming closer to me. I stepped back and constantly nodded a no.

"Please stop this Hakeem, I said but he kept coming closer until my back touched the wall. He stretched his hands against the wall and looking down at my petite figure before him. I looked away pushing him away but it was pointless. " please let me go. I cried now tears gathered on my eyelids

"But I love you, I can't live without you. You're my life. He said again bringing his lips closer to my ears I struggled and slipped away from his hold. He smirked and held my wrist dragging me to him.

Soon there was a knock on the door. "Come in" he said and a huge familiar fellow stepped in wearing metal general outfit.  I gasped. "Ebije! I murmured feeling shaky.

"Yes? Hakeem impatiently said

"Jaaaachi... he said and knelt. " the soldiers are all set to leave for Agahbah now. He said. What!?? Agahbah!? Soldiers?? This can't be! The war is supposed to be in two moons! They're going unannounced and Agahbah is still preparing!!! Someone needs to tell Furqan! My heart began panting.

Seeing Ebije is enough to make me weak cause of how suri let him treat me and made me sick.

"Hakeem please.. stop this, don't fight because of me please don't kill innocent people because of me please I beg you I said crying and pleading.

"Shhhhh.. you don't have to. It's already done. He said smiling why are you smiling!??? Arghhh who is this idiot! Stop smiling! I angrily yelled! He smirked and left the huge chamber he kept me locking the door as he stepped outside.

I fall to the ground and began crying uncontrollably. Oh God he's going to kill Furqan! What do I do!? I cried and got up staring down at the soldiers marching away to Agahbah from the window of the unknown room where I was kept. With tears flowing down my eyes.

Soo sorry this chapter took so long🥺
