I stared through the window as two tinted cars drove into the palace. Sandra or whatever her name was is finally here. I don’t know why I feel so vexed. I have a bad feeling about this visit of hers.
The guards went on to open the door for her and a petite young lady came out of the car. She has sunglasses on and from mere looking at her, one will know that she was trouble. She looks so kitted like that of a princess.
Now I wonder if she was from a royal family. A maid was behind her holding an umbrella over her head. The beta or whatever they call him went to welcome her.
I didn’t hear what they were saying but I was sure he said something along the line that the alpha was been waiting for her. He stretched his hand guiding her in the direction, she trailed behind him with her maid following closely. What’s with the umbrella? There isn’t any sun out there.
I rolled my eyes. What a spoilt brat. I close up the curtains. I was jealous. How comes she gets to see Zion while I’m here feeling lonely.
” I need to know what’s going on out there. They can’t just leave me here in the dark. I need to know what’s happening down there”
I groaned so loud that I was sure anyone outside the door will hear. Times like this, I miss Kate. I wish she’s back already. I thought she only goes to the city for just two days so why isn’t she back yet? It’s almost four days now.
I exhaled loudly ” I’m so angry right now ”
I got up and walked to the door. I twisted the doorknob but it was already locked. Zion doesn’t trust me yet and it irks me knowing he locks me up like a prisoner.
He didn’t come over to visit me this morning. Could it be because of that lady down there? Is there something going on between them? I wondered to myself.
I shook the thought away. It’s not possible since I was told that her late sister was his Ex so she can never mean anything to him. Then on second thought, even if she meant something to him, so why was I even bothered? This thing shouldn’t affect me, right?
But it does, it affects me so badly. I want to be the one down there with him and not here. She can’t be alone with him. Only God knows what they’ll be talking about. I pouted.
” I hate this feeling. I hate it ” I got up again then something came to my mind. I could remember a letter I found the first day I settled into this room.
I went in search of the letter in the same drawer. I found it, bingo!
I sat comfortably on the small couch in the room, my legs crossed. There should be a lot of hints here hopefully. I opened the folded paper and then reading started.
” This shouldn’t be my last letter to you. This was supposed to be many love letters we should be writing to each other.
You’ve been a part of me for over a decade as I am to you. You always stood by me when I needed you even when I drove you away countless times.
You always give me a reason to smile, a reason to laugh, and what’s more a reason to live. I’ve come this far in life all because of you. I wish I can say all this to your face to face but due to the circumstances, I don’t think I can
Hopefully, this gets to you in time. I love you beyond words.
There is something more I need to say to you. Someone is knocking so badly at the door. I think it’s them, I think they’re here for me. I’m really scared, I’m so scared right now.
I don’t want to die like this, I don’t. I’m going to fold this letter now and put it in the envelope before they get hold of it.
Be happy for me my love, always be happy.
I was tearing down while reading the letter. This looks like a love letter but at the same time, it was a goodbye letter. She wrote it in her last minutes if I’m not mistaken.
Who was she? I stared at the back of the envelope hoping to see the name of the writer and to whom she wrote it. The letter never got to the person. It’s so heartbreaking.
I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. Just when I put the letter back in their place, I heard a knock on the door. I quickly wiped my tears hoping to leave no hint of tears.
” Come in,” I said, and whoever was out there put in the key and then pushed the door open.
Zion walked in looking as handsome as ever. He was so we’ll dress that sure almost all the ladies in the pack have swooned over his looks. Did he do all this for her? Was it because of the visitor?
I kept a straight face. I didn’t want him to notice my jealousy ” What is it again?” I asked with folded arms.
Zion gave me a calculating eyes ” Were you crying ?” He asked instead.
I pretended to be oblivious of what he said ” Me? I wasn’t crying ”
” Of course you were,” he said then the next thing his finger went to my face wiping away alone tears ” This just proved me right Ella. Your eyes are red too. What Happened to you? Did something bad happen Please tell me ?” He looks concerned.
I huffed ” I wasn’t crying please stop being dramatic Zion.”
” Of course I’m not being dramatic. You also know that too. Please tell me, did someone hurt you?”
The letter came to mind again and worst was, I began to tear down again. It’s stupid and childish I know.
I hugged him instantly. I needed a shoulder to lean on. Zion pat my back soothingly
” Talk to me love, did anything happen?” He looks ready worried.
I opened my mouth to talk.
