Chapter 2

A slap of incredible violence landed on my right cheek which made my head turn to the left.

 - HOW COULD YOU?  HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME LIKE THIS WITH MY BROTHER AT ALL?  I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING he yelled before slapping me back, breaking my nose at the same time.

 Opening my mouth to explain his mistake he slapped me

 - SHUT UP I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU ANYMORE I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY MOTHER BECAUSE IN THE END SHE WAS RIGHT YOU ARE JUST A DRAG

 completely distraught, and destroyed I began to cry silently

 - Caleb this is too much emotion for you so you will think calmly about the decision you are going to make said Rakim seeing Caleb gradually losing control

 - My decision is already made he said looking at his father.  But, your reason!!  KEEP, KEEP.  he screamed

 Responding to his call, two guards appeared in Klaus's room.

 - Take her to the dungeon, tomorrow at dawn I want the whip and a helicopter to be made available.  He sent a glance at Klaus' body before saying And call a doctor for my brother.

 I believe that the too many tears meant that I did not protest at all either when they put me in the dungeons or the next day when the whip was relentless on me, the pain seemed to have faded into the background, I felt floated, go, until I puke my guts out and pass out.

 I woke up a little later in my cage, my body sore and bleeding, I started crying again and then laughing.  It may be laughable, but it's completely laughable.  How did my day get here?  The laughter was quickly replaced by sobs

.

Feeling weak, I wiped my tears and lay down on the ground with my hand on my stomach "I don't want to lose him, I want him to live."

 Hearing footsteps approaching, I stood up to see the new arrival.

 -Good evening Kensha, said Rakim, Caleb's father, to me, the king instinctively making me step back.  I never liked this man, Klaus used to tell me to be wary of him.  Quite well preserved for its age, it gave off something terrifying, sometimes it scared me, and today it is no different from any other day.

 - Don't look at me with his eyes, you're pitying me, he said, still amused.  More seriously, Caleb wants you exiled, everyone agrees with him, even your own family.  But I can still make him change his mind, he told me.

 My heart beating wildly with the prospect of finding myself far from my native land, I asked him the question that would perhaps change everything.

 - And in exchange for what would you do, I said in a weak voice

 “Here is my proposal,” he began.  You may have already seen that I was not insensitive to your charm.  So here is what I suggest to you.....

 Dreading his last sentence I will make my eyes.

 - .... If you become my mistress I will prevent it, he said, smiling as my world collapsed

 Taking into account the words he had just said, I looked at him like a madman and a strong anger took hold of me.

 - my answer is no I will never be your mistress whether in this life or another.  Who would stick such a thing in your head, I prefer exile a thousand times over, I say with difficulty before spitting blood

 My story to finish his smiling face from earlier disappeared

 - as you wish he spat at me in your current state it is death that awaits you at the end of the road he said as he left the dungeon after giving me a look full of disdain

 - It's death that awaits us all at the end of the road, I whispered before once again starting to cry on the ground

 Long after his departure, the guards opened my cells and took me to the wasteland behind the castle.

 Completely dehydrated and in bad shape, I had difficulty opening my eyes or hearing what was happening, which earned me a slap which made me open my eyes instantly. All the members of the family were there and a good number of guards and servants.  Also

 My honor was violated

 Kneeling, Caleb stood in front of me before justifying his giggle

 - you must be awake to hear my sentence.

 He took a breath before taking my left hand.

 - My marriage to you is canceled, he said, taking away my engagement ring.

 I expected this act but it hurt me and what followed was even worse he had put this same ring on the finger of my Sister Isadora

 - And therefore I choose my future wife, therefore my future queen, he said, looking him straight in the eyes before returning his gaze to me. And I exile you far from my lands, far from the continent, and above all far from my  heart

He gave me one final glance before turning to his guards and saying, "Take her away from here." They immediately grabbed me and forcefully dragged me to the waiting helicopter. Once inside, they exchanged a few words with the pilot before leaving to join the others who were eager to witness the spectacle.

As we flew away, I looked down and saw a mix of emotions among the people below. Some appeared to be celebrating, while others watched as the helicopter disappeared into the distance.

From my vantage point, I couldn't help but think about Klaus and whether he was safe. At the same time, I was overwhelmed with panic as I realized that I was being taken to an unfamiliar place with no money and an unborn child. Caleb had destroyed any chance we had of starting a new life together, and the thought brought tears to my eyes.
