"I need to be sure before I make a decision that will change your life so I shall repeat my question" the Queen elegantly addressed her issue to me.
"Are you sure you do not want to marry my son?" She asked batting her lashes against her full cheeks. Again she was gorgeous.
"I'm very sure Queen Cleopatra"
"Very well then!" she sternly replied walking out.
What had crawled up her back and bit her? I wondered.
*****"Mommy mommy I learnt a lot of things today" Louis spoke in a mild tone sitting on my laps.
"That's good for you my boy"
"Daddy is so nice" he said looking so fragile.
William had charmed my son.
"He speaks to me a lot" I waited for Louis to continue.
"He sings to me when I sleep" and the thought of William singing a lullaby made me stifle a laugh.
"He changes me" and that made me jealous.
"But you said you're a big boy now and you don't need anyone to change you" I protested.
"Yes but with daddy it's different" I was angry.
"How is it different"
"He's nicer than you" and I deadpanned .
"I need to use the bathroom" I said walking away from him.
I wanted to cry. I was so upset. I remembered everything I'd gone through for Louis to be where he was to this point yet he preferred that stranger over me. He had chosen William over me.
I entered my room and began to cry once I'd closed the door.
How had I lost my son to William.
"What troubles you?" His voice made me more angrier. I'd forgotten William was still in here.
He had a towel wrapped around his waist but I was too upset to check him out.
"Why are you crying" he asked kneeling down to face me.
"It's you!" I yelled " You stole Louis away from me!"
"What are you talking about?" He seemed confused.
"Have you no shame sweeping my son off his feet , charming him, stealing him!" I had to breathe " ...you... you thief!"
"Calm down" he urged rubbing my back.
"Dont touch me!" I hissed " Are you happy he loves you more than me now" I was so upset.
William looked irresolute of the situation and suddenly he wrapped his arms around me. I fought him off hitting him , but he didn't budge until I involuntarily cried against his bare chest.
I composed myself and decided to have a chat with Eleanor after I'd left William's room.
"Hey" I greeted her.
"Hello" she said coldly.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing" she brushed off and stood up walking away leaving me alone.
At this point I was worried about this family's mental health.
Where they all bipolar?
"Eleanor" the Queen called walking into the patio and Eleanor turned before she'd walked any further.
"Artemis has arrived" Queen Cleopatra announced.
"Yes!" Eleanor squeaked with joy.
How many of you understand my concern now , about this bipolar thing?
The Queen faced me and looked sideways. What was wrong with her too.
As I was busy in thought you will never guess what happened.
A very very very beautiful woman walked into the patio William guiding her.
What the hell?
She was a red head with emerald eyes , a tiny nose , high cheek bones a heart shaped face and doll lips. Her body was gracious.
Eleanor looked happy.
The Queen looked joyful.
William looked satisfied with the woman next to her.
I looked... jealous.
"Goodness you are here" the Queen smiled hugging the woman kissing her cheeks.
"How have you been Queen Cleo" she smiled. She said the Queen's name in short . Who was she? A cousin. But her kind of beauty did not look family related .
"Eleanor" she called out and the two of them hugged.
Ok what was going on here?
"Artemis , this is Oliver William's acquaintance" the Queen introduced.
Hold up. Shit sherlock this woman had just acquaintance-zoned my relationship with her son. AND...Wasn't she the same woman who was pestering me to marry her son just a DAY ago?.
Unbelievable.
"Oliver this is Artemis , the Marquess of Badford daughter of Aurelius the Duke of Badford" she smiled feeling proud for having introduced the woman.
"She will marry William" the Queen announced and William smiled.
He looked lavish , happy , how could he just smile like that as if I wasn't standing here hearing about his pending marriage.
I registered what the Queen had just said and I looked back and forth between everyone.
I left the patio.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
I was officially going crazy and grew tiresome of crying. Louis wasn't around so I had no form of entertainment whatsoever.
William was getting married?
I asked myself again. My mind was about to breakdown. Imagining Artemis and him walking down the aisle killed my morale.
I walked to the Rose Bush in pursuit of peace. Flowers usually gave me peace of mind...
Only to be greeted by William and Artemis hugging. My heart broke to a million tiny pieces. I felt like something was pulling my heart out at that instant. But why did I feel like this when I knew I was over William.
I was over him right?
I was short of breathe and decided to walk back to the room .
"Mother sent me to you" Eleanor snarled waiting at the door of the King's room"...i have to show you your new room Artemis is going to be staying in William's room Not You" she said emphasising the words NOT YOU.
"Good" I said as she ushered me around the staircase.
"Since you said you do not like William I am guessing you are happy now considering how mother has found a wife for him " she beamed opening the door to my 'new room'.
The opposite is true Eleanor. I thought to say but...you all know me by now.
"I'm very happy" I chimed sarcastically.
"Good for you" she smiled shamelessly.
"A servant will move your things" she said and left the room.
I lied down on the bed in the room. It was white and very elegant.
I was tired of crying and sulking.
When you love you get hurt , when you get hurt you feel angry , when you're angry you're bound to become sad when you're sad memories flood your mind...
And when memories come you eventually fall in love again with the same person that hurt you.
I wasn't sure of it but I think I loved William.
*****Walking into one of the living rooms I found Artemis' head on William's laps as they were deep in conversation.
I wanted nothing more than to drag her by the hair with a pitch fork and take my man back.
I was mad at him for leaving me and lying like a rotten bastard but I was about to forgive him just a night ago however I was now certain that it was no longer necessary to forgive him. He had moved on.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
They were hugging again Louis between them. It looked like a group hug. And no this was not a dream it was happening accross the loan from the window.
William , Artemis and Louis were hugging. In a small circle . The Queen stood there smiling, Eleanor by her side.
I was leaning against the window staring outside. Feeling like a trapped Fiona. If I had any strength left in me I would have plotted revenge but I didn't have any strength left in me.
I had accepted defeat.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"Oliver you have barely touched your food what is the matter" the Queen commented.
"I am not that hungry" I admitted.
Dinner was straining me.
William and Artemis were feeding Louis and having a mini food fight. I couldn't watch them without loathing their bond. Yes my sadness was turning into anger and boy it wasn't good.
I didn't want to go to prison.
"William behave" the Queen smiled and Artemis blushed. My fingers snapped under the table and I shivered due to anger. I had to leave.
"P...please excuse me" I stuttered holding back the tears and fume , with that I stood and left.
I was going to ask the Queen if I could leave tomorrow.
I was done being sad and feeling sorry for myself. I would go start a new life with Louis but the big question was
Would Louis accept to leave William?
No dont answer that I knew the answer
Ofcourse he wouldn't agree to that but I would make him understand over a bowl of icecream.
William would have another heir with Artemis and I'd take my illegitimate child away from them.
I was having a heavy headache.
*****Next Morning_________________
Slowly walking down the stairs I was about to approach the Queen at such an early hour.
To my luck the Queen stood at the bottom of the stairs in all her glowing glory , Eleanor standing next to her and you'll never guess...
William and Artemis were about to kiss and that's all it took to make me explode. World war three was coming.
Yes I blew up in anger. I didn't care that the Queen was looking at me and I couldn't care less about Eleanor.
I quickly walked down the stairs before they'd made contact , Artemis' beautiful emerald eyes were blazing. To hell with her beauty!
I ripped her off William fueled by anger.
"Stay away from him he is mine!" I yelled and everyone looked at me.
"Are you sure you do not want to marry my son?" She asked batting her lashes against her full cheeks. Again she was gorgeous.
"I'm very sure Queen Cleopatra"
"Very well then!" she sternly replied walking out.
