The Royal Baby

interrogation

Jade POV

What the hell was happening? I thought as Raymond stared at me with an evil look in his eyes. He had not said a word for over ten minutes and continued staring at me. I had no idea of what could have happened and no matter how hard I tried to figure it out, all I could think of was that something terrible had happened with Nicholas or maybe Alaric.

‘’stop staring at me like that,’’ I told him. ‘’you are giving me creeps and it's starting to make me dizzy,’’ I told him. ‘’if you would please tell me what I did so wrong,’’ I begged him.

He laughed and moved closer to the cell. He slammed his hands on the glass causing my heart to jump. I heaved a deep sigh and stared into his eyes. I was not scared of what he could and didn’t avert my eyes as we both had the staring competition.

‘’Are you pretending not to understand what happened right now?’’ Raymond asked me. ‘’are you pretending to be unaware of what is going on with us huh?’’ he chuckled and slammed his hands on the glass door again. This time, I didn’t fear or jump but could only heave another deep sigh.

I was tired of being kept in the dark and everything that happened was all angelica’s fault. If she had listened to me and not gone to the party in my stead then maybe none of this would have happened.

I would continue to play her without any issues but because of her greed, she refused to listen to me, and now, it was a big problem for both of us especially me. if I could find out why she had acted that way then maybe I would be able to resolve the issue.

‘’has your brain shut off because I can’t seem to understand why you suddenly change your mind about everything!’’ he yelled at me. ‘’you have caused a lot of problems and because of your foolishness, everyone is going to be affected!’’

‘’what did I do so wrong to be locked up here!’’ I demanded. ‘’where is Nicholas and what is the king doing about this!’’ I asked. ‘’I don’t deserve to be locked up like this,’’ I said and held my head. ‘’I don’t deserve to be since I am pregnant, ’I placed my hand on my stomach.

Raymond chuckled and shook his head at me. ‘’you are one crazy b***h, aren’t you?’’ he chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair. ‘’I hope you rot in that cell and, to be honest, I hope the king concludes by dethroning you because you don’t deserve to be here at all after everything that you have done!’’

My heart raced so fast and I quickly placed my hand on it to avoid having a heart attack. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. It sounded like terrible music in my ear. The alpha king had locked me in that room for something I had no idea happened.

If only angelica had informed me about what happened then maybe I would be able to figure out why I was locked up like a terrible criminal.

Did she kill anyone? I thought and rubbed my forehead. Although angelica was a terrible wolf, I doubt that she could do something like that.

She wasn’t the type of person to attack others to the point of killing them but who was I to judge when I was not present at the scene and when it happens?

‘’have fun rotting in the cell. Your secrets would be revealed tomorrow and by then, everyone would know the type of person you are!’’ Raymond turned to leave. I shouted his name hoping that he would turn back but he pretended not to hear me and continued walking away until he was out of the cell.

I slide to the ground and bite my lower lips. I then ruffled my hair and stood up again. ‘’what did angelica do?’’ I questioned myself and paced around my cell. ‘’why didn’t I see Nicholas or Alaric visiting me?” I looked towards the entrance and shook my head. ‘’maybe they are too busy and couldn’t make it here,’’ I nodded my head agreeing to my thoughts.

I truly believed that they were busy or something else had happened. It was the explanation of why they didn’t come to visit me.

‘’what the hell is happening?’’ I sat on the ground and leaned against the cell. Before I knew what was happening, I had closed my eyes and slept off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to someone kicking my legs aggressively and I jerked awoke from my sleep. I jumped up to see who had the guts to slap me on the face. ‘’how….’’ I stopped talking at once when I saw the queen's eyes fixed on me. she sat down on a black leather chair with her arms folded and her legs crossed.

‘’your highness,’’ I lowered my head.

She didn’t say a word and continued staring at me giving me the same look that Raymond had given to me.

‘’bring her here,’’ the queen ordered the guard standing in front of me. following her orders, I was dragged toward the queen and pushed to the ground.

Thankfully, my hands supported me as I hit the ground. I knelt on the ground and lowered my head because the anger radiating from the queen was hard to ignore.

What the hell could be happening?

‘’raise your head angelica,’’ the queen ordered and I slowly raised my head to face her. Her tone was soft and low like before and I heaved a sigh of relief because I was glad that the queen’s attitude toward me had not changed.

‘’your highness….’’ I tried to ask her what happened but my face turned as she landed a slap on my face. ‘’your highness,’’ I tasted blood on my lips and placed my hand on my cheek, rubbing it gently as I tried hard not to show my weakness in front of her.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I realized that the queen was not on my side which made me change my thoughts about what had happened.

Whatever was going on was much worse than I had thought.

‘’how are you still breathing after everything that you have done you useless werewolf!’’ the queen leaned closer to me and grabbed my chin. ‘’if you had wanted to embarrass your family then do it where everyone wouldn’t be. Because of your foolish attitude,’’ she held onto my chin tightly bruising my face in the process while I whimpered in pain but didn’t struggle against her.

‘’your highness, I am sorry for everything that I have done,’’ I apologized sounding as sincere as I could but never did, I imagined that the queen would hit me in the face again. This time, it was harsher and more annoying.

‘’you are a disgrace to the royal family and I already spoke to your parent about your annoying attitude!’’ she announced and I gasped.

Just what the hell did angelica do so wrong to be treated like this? I thought as I looked at the queen.

‘’because of you, Nicholas is having a great problem for the first time and now, he is being referred to as a bad prince. He is also laying on his bed recuperating from the nasty attack he had with his brother, this is all happening because of you,’’ she pointed at me and I lowered my head unable to look her in the face.

Everything was becoming clearer and I could understand that what happened at the ball was caused by angelica who had done something against Nicholas and Alaric.

But what could it be? The queen wouldn’t say anything because she believed that I already have an idea but I don’t.

‘’How is prince Nicholas now?’’ I timidly asked. My voice shook terribly as I asked her. ‘’is he fine?’’

‘’you dare ask!’’ the queen yelled and jumped to her feet. ‘’how dare you to ask questions after everything that you have done huh!’’ she kicked my hands and I cried out in pain as I fell on my face. ‘’why did you announce to be pregnant to the world and then moved to prince Nicholas!’’ she demanded and beckoned to the guard to lift me.

‘’your highness,’’ I lowered my head as I was pulled from the ground and made to look at the queen.

‘’look at me!’’ the queen yelled at me. ‘’I am not going to let you destroy my family with your stupid love story. The king had given his orders to dethrone you as the crown princess,’’ she announced.

I gasped and raised my head to face her. Everything that I wanted was coming to pass. Finally, I could be free from angelica who had made me suffer so much.

I was going to be freed from the mansion problem and maybe, I could start my life elsewhere where no one would find me.

I was going to do that for my child.

‘’that is not all,’’ the queen said and my eyes widened wondering what she had to say anything.

“Please, don’t let her change her mind,” I prayed silently and closed my eyes hoping that my prayers would be answered.

‘’I am going to conduct a paternity test on the child. I need to know if you had not been fooling us all this while!’’ she announced.

A paternity test! I wanted to scream, kicked the guard that was holding me, and ran outside the cell. If a test was conducted then it would reveal that the prince was the father of my child and that means a terrible disaster.

‘’oh no!’’ I said and kicked the guard on the leg. I fell to the ground and grabbed the queen’s leg. ‘’your highness,’’ I cried. The tears streamed slowly down my face as I begged her to change her decisions. ‘’please, don’t do this to me! the child belongs to the crown prince and I am not lying because….’’

‘’seeing how shaky you are, I guess that I am close to finding the truth, and do you know what little girl,’’ the queen crouched to my level and raised my head. ‘’if you have been lying to us all this while then you will be punished,’’ she caressed my face and then stood up from the ground.

‘’let her in!’’ the queen ordered. My heartbeat increased as I turned to face the entrance of the cell. A woman who looked to be in her mid-fifties walked in with a box in her hand. ‘’welcome physician lily,’’ the queen smiled at her.

Oh my, I exclaimed and lets out a deafening scream. She bought a freaking Doctor which means that I was in trouble.

Terrible trouble.
