I hide putting on my clothes while he go to check who it is .
" The queen is in labour , the king want you to go and be with him as lady Catherina give birth . " I hear from a far .
" Okay , just a minute , tell him I'll be there " Jeremy says .
" He's also looking for Madin and we can't find him , incase you see him..!"
" okay "
He closes the door coming back. " It's l.."
" I already heard ." I cut him .
" I'll go then you'll follow afterwards, make sure no one sees you"
" Okay"
He leaves and after some time , I follow but not through the same way . I wonder why Arthur is looking for me now because we rarely talk nowadays , am not even his servant anymore. I don't work anywhere else in the palace now days and no one says anything , that's why am wondering what am doing in this palace , but as long as I have food and a roof over my head that's fine for now . Because when I leave, where will I be going, but I was thinking that if Arthur become worse I'll leave with Jeremy, I mean , it seems this is my destiny. Going east west with whoever..
I enter the room where they are , he's pacing around while his family together with Jeremy are trying to calm him down . The moment he sees me he walk to me . " Where the hell are you coming from ? "
I don't answer immediately and he grab my hand leading me to my room . Why is he mad at me , It's not like he cares about me anymore!
He bang the door closing it "I asked where you are coming from"
" To clear my head , I couldn't sleep " I say simply.
He's quiet for sometime . "Where exactly because they've been looking for you everywhere "
" Does it matter ? Do you need me to do something for you ? I mean , Why are you looking for me ? " I say getting annoyed because he's questioning me as if he cares .
I take off my shirt ready to go to sleep and I hear him gasp . I look at him and he's looking at my bare chest which is full of hickeys.. oh no I didn't even notice that myself !
"You.. what.. you ! What are those ?!"
" What do you think they are ?" I say confidently as if I don't care what he thinks , I've had enough of him ! So yeah , I don't actually care !
" You've been cheating on me?! " he pushes me on the wall , my back feeling like it has been cracked.
" Cheating ? Wait ,, are we still together?!" I ask looking him in the eye .
" How dare you Madin?! Now am just convinced that Catherina was right about you! "
" Of course she has always been right about me ! "
" Who is it ? Tell me right now ! Who have you been with?! " This lunatic is hurting me , hitting me on the wall .
" Someone who love and care for me so much ,, No need to say the name because you won't believe it! Besides, I don't want you to kill the only person who love and care for me on this planet ! "
" You call sleeping with you , love and care ?!"
" Yes, to me that's it "
" Why don't you get your skeletal self out of here and go away to her or him then!" He thunder .
" Okay , gladly, thank you My lord for finally allowing me to go away from this hell like place !" I start picking my things ready to go to wherever.
" Where do you think you are going?" He stop me , is he sick in the head or what ?!
" You just told me to get my skeletal self out of here , didn't you ?" I push him away from me but he manage to hold me back !
" Madin , am sorry for everything, it's my fault I made you think that I don't care about you anymore, I treated you badly but still you had no right to sleep with another person ! You still had no right to cheat on me !" He say holding onto me , almost like he wants to cry .
I really don't understand him,,
" I didn't sleep with him , it was just a make out and it's only today " I say calming down , I can't believe am falling for his act again .
" Even if you didn't sleep with him , he touched you the way no one is supposed to but me ! Who is it ?"
" I said am never telling you that ! Now let go of me , you can kill me if you wish but I will never tell you who it is ."
" Why do you always ask me to kill you when actually know I'll never do a thing like that to you . I didn't stop loving you or something , I've just been playing along Catherina's game because she was carrying my baby and I didn't want her to do anything stupid that will hurt our baby ! I already knew how bad she is , and I've been pretending all this time to hate you . Even father now knows her real behaviour and he has also been playing along with her . She wanted to kill father , one servant saw her one day and she came to report it and when that drink was checked it was true that it was poisoned, no one knows why she wanted to kill father! We've been watching her and we've seen the terrible things she's been doing , even the tea incident, my sister saw her do it on her own !"
I couldn't believe my ears !
"Then why didn't you tell me that ? "
" She is so smart Madin , she would have known that we were pretending, am sorry " he say hugging me .
" Am sorry too , I didn't mean to cheat on you ! "
" It's okay but you'll have to pay for cheating on me !" He say .
" Okay then, punish me however you want " I really feel happy like never before in my life .
" I've punished you enough this past nine months and it's just today when you decided to give up after all that time of perseverance. I think now is when am really getting the meaning of 'never give up because when you feel like giving up that's when you know you are about to reach your success. "
A knock on the door startle us , I hear Jeremy's voice .
