chapter two
Beverly got ready to go to the palace . She just wore a normal simple knee length gown and a sandal . She packed her hair in a simple pony tail and carried a small purse . She got out of her house and she met a carriage in front of her house and she already knew it came for her . She got in and off they went to the palace .
********
She got to the palace after some time then made her way inside . She was led into the dinning area and was left there . She looked at how big the palace was absent mindedly not noticing was who was in the room .
" hm hm hm " Vegas cleared his throat
" oh sorry I was just . " she said and went ahead to have her seat .
" Beverly." he said her name and that instant she recognized his voice.
" You " she said with widened eyes
" yes , it's me ." he said with a smirk.
" if I may ask , why was I invited to the palace ." she asked wanting to know why .
" wow , you're questioning your king , I'll forgive you anyways. The reason why I called you is because I am interested in you and ai want you as my queen ."
" WHAT!!!" she exclaimed " You mist be joking, you can't force me inti marrying you ."
" Well , I don't care and what I say is final . " he said and stood to leave
" You'll regret this , you know . " she said trying to make him change his mind
" Nope I can't." he said and left .
**********
Night fell and Beverly now accepted the fact that she wasn't leaving the palace. She went back to the room that was given ti her and laid down on the bed thinking of what to do . She was already getting scared cause she knew he only shows up at night fall , but what she didn't know was that he had someone else to visit.

Vegas wore his robe and got ready to sleep when he felt like there was a shadow lurking.
He just ignored it and went ahead to lay down on his bed to have a good night sleep .
" Going to sleep already ." he heard from the dark .
" who's there . " he said while panicking. " Guards." he shouted . He only heard the shadow chuckle .
" They can't hear you , it's just yoh and me , but don't worry , I'll make this fast ."
" what do you want ." he asked in fear .
" what do you want." he asked in fear
" You have what's mine and I'm here to have it back."
" What's that ?"
" Beverly ." he said her name waiting ti see his reaction.
" No, never she's mine ." he said and before he knew it he felt a hard slap on his face .
" If you ever say Beverly's yours again ." he paused and chuckled " oh wait you won't be able to say that cause I'll probably be the last person you'll talk to ."
" what do you mean by that ? " he asked and before he knew it he started burning on the spot .
" please , please I'll give her ti you please please." he cried in pain .
" You lost the chance ." the shadow said and walked away . He walked like a shadow carved from stone , talk broad shadow and built with the kind of strength that wasn't born from gym but in blood and power.
His jet black hair was swept back in a deliberate disarray a style that spoke of effortless confidence rather than vanity .
Under the low light the strands gleamed like midnight silk
A face sculpted with sharp merciless pines , a strong jaw , high cheek bone that hinted danger and masculinity. A faint scar traced the corner of his left eye brow not enough to mar his beauty but enough to whisper of violent stories left untold. His life filled yet firm ,rarely curved into a smile and when they did it was never harmless.
He went ov r to Beverly's room and gave her a peck then left .
*******____*********
Beverly woke up the next morning hearing some loud noises coming from outside . she stood up and went out to see what was going on . She traced the noise from where it was coming from , she figured out it was from the kings room.
" excuse me , what is going on." she asked one of the guards but he just brushed her off . She found her way through the crowd and what she saw before her shocked her . It was the king's dead body laying on the ground almost burnt to ashes . she just stood there speechless .
" It's her she killed the king ." she heard from behind her and before she knew it they started to hold her down .
" What! No, I didn't do anything wrong I swear I ......"
she didn't finish her sentence when she heard a cry from the crowd and a strikingly handsome man walked in.
" what's going on here ." the man said calmly
" And who do you think you are ." a guard asked
" oh so you want an introduction, ok no problem how about I demonstrate it ." he said and the guard that talked started bleeding from the nose and before anyone knew it he collapsed to the ground and died . That moment people started panicking not knowing what to do .
" so who else wants me to introduce myself ."
he asked then chuckled when nobody spoke .
" No one ,on that's good news ." he said and turned to leave but before he left he took Beverly's hand then left .
**************
" You ...you killed him didn't you m" she asked cautiously not to annoy him .
" yes, I did ." he said like he did something good
" wh......wh...why did you kill him ." she asked again.
" " Because he wanted to steal what's mine and anyone who tries to steal what's mine ends up in hell ."
" what do you want from me ?" she asked from the hundredth time .
" like I said , I want you ." he said and left the room .
