Chereads / The Tyrant's Woman / Chapter 3 - Chapter Three

Chapter 3 - Chapter Three

There have been rumors going around saying he killed his distant family. Members just to claim the throne but he didn't kill them all some still remain. But that wasn't the problem none of that mattered or scared Amira. What scared her more is that the King would kill anyone who climbs into his bed.

Amira felt a cold shiver go down her spine she took one quick glance at him before sneaking her way out the house. She made it home in time with no one following her. When she arrived she heard voices coming from the living room.

She quickly took her shoes off and hurried to the living room to see Mrs. Park sitting in a couch across from her mother. Who was also sitting in a couch looking sad and worried she jumped out of the couch and hugged Amira.

She hugged her tightly as tears started to fall from her eyes dropping onto the ground. "Mira how could you worry your very ill mother like that. Where were you why didn't you come back last night" her mother asked while sobbing.

Amira pulled her mother away from her and looked down at the floor. Feeling disappointed in herself for the sin she committed last night she knew the consequences of sleeping with the King last night.

Tears welled up into her eyes and she fell on the ground weak she tried her best to open her mouth a speak but nothing nothing at all came out of her mouth. It was like she suddenly became mute as she slowly looked up at her sobbing mother. " Mother please forgive me for the sin I committed last night" she said in between her tears.

Her mother sniffed and tilted her head "Mira what sin did you commit" her mother asked feeling uneasy. "Mother I- I... la-last night... I slept with the K-King" she said as she stuttered on her words. Her mother fell back into the couch hold her chest breathing heavily thinking about what her daughter just said. Mrs. Park shot up from the couch and ran to Amira's mother's side.

" Arabella are you alright Arabella" Mrs. Park said shaking Amira's mother who was still in shock. "Mother!!!" Amira screamed while sobbing on the ground weak and helpless. The thought of losing the only person she loved and cared for made her weak and heart broken. She already lost one person she cared dearly for she wasn't ready to lose another one. It was just too much for her to take in she looked down feeling ashamed and disgusting.

It's been a couple hours since everyone calmed down and Amira's mother went to bed after taking her medication. It's been a month now since the incident the King closed all the boards and put up wanted posters for Amira. Amira found out she was a couple weeks after and gave birth to a adorable and handsome son.

He has pink hair just like Amira and black eyes just like the King's. Amira was walking in the village hand and hand with her son Leo he was only four years old. The village people were always jealous of his adorableness he's also known to be very shy, nervous and clingy to his mother.

He didn't like meeting people he didn't know when he meets other people he doesn't speak. So the village people thought he was mute he only speaks to people he knows and trusts. Though he's not very well at getting along with others he's very smart and intelligent for his age.

They were heading to the bakery to get a lemon meringue pie when someone suddenly tapped Amira on the back. Amira felt her body tense up as she slowly turned around with Leo. She looked at the person who appeared to be a knight there were two of them but they weren't ordinary knights they were shadow nights.

Leo quickly let's go off his mother's hand and clinged onto her gown Amira noticed and bends down to Leo. "Don't worry baby it's ok they won't hurt us" Amira sad in a sweet and sickly tone. Leo was shaking as he looked at his mother his black eyes turned softened and his eyes turned hazel.

Just like Amira's she wasn't at all surprised by the sudden I color change it happened when he turned two that was the first time it happened. She wasn't at all concerned she knew exactly why his eyes changed colors. She brushed his pink hair back before leaning in to kiss his forehead she stood up again and looked at the shadow knights.

"May I ask who sent you" Amira said pulling Leo closer to her. The shadow knights looked at each other before looking back at Amira anf Leo. "May I ask is he your son" one of the shadow knights asked. Amira wasn't sure but she felt something was off she knew very well that the shadow knights were the Kings knights.

But why would they ask such a question. "Yes he is my son is there a problem" Amira asked tightening her grip on Leo's wrist. Leo whimpered from the pain and looked up at his mom. "Mommy it hurts" he said looking at her with puppy eyes. She looked at him and loosened her grip a little on his wrist.

"Mommy's sorry baby" she said looking at his eyes that shifted back to being the black eyes they once were. "There is no a problem at all ma'am I just wanted to know" the shadow knight said making Amira shift her attention back to him. "Then if we're done here then I will be on my way" Amira said turning around and dragging Leo along.

Not knowing there was a black limo not far from where she was standing talking to the shadow knights. As someone in that very limo was watching her as a dark aroma surrounded from him. Amira was confused but all of that disappeared when she saw Mrs. Park standing in front of her bakery hold something in her hand.

Amira walked up to her and greeted her with a smile on her face Leo ran to her and hugged her leg. Leo liked Mrs. Park a lot she was his second mother. "Leo say hi to your godmother" Amira said looking down at Leo who was glued to Mrs. Park. Leo pouted he knew his mother was unhappy she only called him Leo when she was unhappy.

She taught Leo well but when Leo miss behaves or forgets his manners she calls him Leo. "Hello godmother" Leo said looking down at the ground while he still had the put on his face.

" Hello there Leo godmother very happy to see you" Mrs. Park said with a grin on her face. She loved Leo as her own she has a elder son but he's out of the village he's the captain of the imperial family's guard.
