Queen Ella

Chapter two

Ella

When I got to the place she was pointing too, I saw the lifeless body of my parents, seriously I don’t know whether to cry or laugh, I don’t know maybe I was sad or happy, anyways that should be the consequence of their greediness, not even a single tear drop from my eyes .

*****

My parents were buried the same day they died , now I don’t have to get married to any prince , am running away first thing tomorrow morning. I saw my father relatives packing some of their luggage inside, I know exactly what that means

I packed some of clothes the next and I went to where my father usually hides his stash of money, I took everything. I can’t suffer during their life time and still suffer after their death

Leonardo

I was shocked to the bones when I found that Ella parents died in an accident, I was prepared to take her with me when I got , they told me she had ran away , I can’t compromise what is going on , if I don’t find her my parents will force to marry another person, s**t I gotta find her no matter what

Ella

I took the forest route when I was running, I am making sure they never find me even if they try too . As I was about the forest, I saw a baby in a basket, what the heck , how can a mother drop her baby in this dangerous place then I saw a letter beside the basket : it reads

I don’t know maybe my daughter would survive or not but whoever that finds this baby should please take good care of her and please let her understand that it’s not my fault, my parents would kill me if they found out that this baby is with me ,I was to get married to a rich man for selfish desires, I know nobody might find you but if you eventually die , please know that it’s not my fault, I love so much my baby..

Oh , seriously what is wrong with this parents , why do they keep forcing their children to make lifetime mistakes , it is not our fault that we came to this world as girls, I carried the baby and I continued my journey into the forbidden forest

****

Days became weeks , weeks became months and I was still inside the forest with the baby , she survived barely on the baby foods I saw inside her basket while I survived on the forest fruits and water , the baby is so cute , I have thought about abandoning her once cause she is slowing down my journey but I couldn’t just bring myself to do that

Leonard

It being months since I have started looking for Ella but to no avail. My parents finally became agitated so that started insisting that I should marry Bianca , my childhood friend. I hate this girl like hell though yeah she is beautiful and her parents are rich, I can’t just bring myself into liking her , I know many of my friends that f****d her back in college. I have to find Ella no matter how long it takes knowing fully well that it might take forever to find her

Ella

We got out of the forest with the help of a lone wolf, I don’t know exactly how it located us cause I am pretty sure there is no wild animals in that forest I know there’s more to my power but I can’t seem to access it all . I have got to the city everybody has always wanted to go Algiers , it is beautiful nothing like the village life , now I have to a helmet cause life is tough, I started wandering aimlessly hoping to see a hotel to pass the night.

Good evening sir , can you direct me to any hotel “ yeah beautiful, let me help you by taking you directly he with a lustful smile , it now I started to realize that I am so beautiful and hot .

I got to the hotel , I pushed my worries aside cause worry ends when faith begins, I have worried about how life would be here in the city , how I wish my parents loved me to the extent of sending me to college or university but I believe I will still be strong when things fall apart

Leonard

Son , you’re going to get married to Bianca , my father said , seriously do you really think so , listen very well if you do not want this kingship to stop in our linage, leave me alone, I made my points clear to them and I stomped out . Do they really think I can’t make my own decision, considering the fact that someone told us that he saw Ella going to the forbidden forest, she must definitely be in the city by now

Ella

I slept so well yesterday night not like the past nights that I had to sleep on the hard, cold ground, anyways , it my fault, I could have just marry their so called prince and live a wealthy lifestyle by now

Flora my baby ,don’t wake me up this early in the morning like this again I said and she blinked at me , hmm, she is such a foodie I wish I have a large appetite like her . I have to start looking for my own apartment now cause I can’t continue to live in a hotel

****

After hours of walking around in the city, I finally saw an apartment but it looks more like a hostel to me to rent even though the apartment is so small, the rent is still expensive. I moved in immediately and and I went in search of some house utensil. The next thing on my list is to get a job , that would be tomorrow to do list

I work up early the next morning and I dropped flora in a nanny house next to my apartment

After so much walking around, I finally got a job as waitress in a nearby restaurant, I don’t really like the job but who am I to complain, I was to start working the next day .

Flora, mummy is back , she jumped up excitedly when she saw me and I carried her home to prepare for the next day

I resumed to work the next day in my short , tight fitting gown , I hate the lustful stares I am getting from the male customers

Leonard

I have been searching for Ella around the city but I couldn’t find her , am so f****d , she does not have any phone or identification card , I can use to track her . Am so hungry right now so I went to a restaurant to eat ,someone came to take my order when I got there and alas: the server turned out to be Ella her in a short , tight fitting gown , my eyes flickered when I saw her she seems so shocked to see me , this is your order sir oh I have never heard her speak before and it so cool like a refreshing water I will wait for you still you close I said and she turned to leave, I hate those stares men are giving her , I wish I can pluck those eyes away

Ella

I couldn’t imagine that I would see Leo in that kind of restaurant, oh s**t . So he hasn’t stopped looking for me all this while, my heart was racing, I couldn’t even concentrate well while serving customer. Does this mean that I would be getting married to him at last

Restaurant closed and I changed my outfit ready to go home and pick Flora along . I saw him waiting for me when I got outside, I sighed and decided to him

Leonard

I saw her coming outside and she noticed I was waiting for her , I don’t know but I have never felt like this for any woman before. She sighed and started walking towards me like a soldier going battle

Am pretty sure you wished you can kill me right she raised an eyebrow I don’t have time for cheap chats , what do you want she said going straight to the point let go over to your house and she started moving

She turned to a house and she picked up a baby , when did you give birth , what do your wanna know she in a rude tone , I don’t know she seems to be so pissed off by me . We went to her house and she dropped the baby directly on my hand , going to the kitchen to cook , looking at the baby face
