Chapter 4 Nicole or Anastasia.

Margareta's POV:

I grab the keys to the store and like a mad person I ran out of the house. Luca followed behind, I walked towards the store.

"Are...you sure about this? Do you think this is the best way? What if it back fires...."Luca asked while I breathed in and out.

"The only way to stop all this is to confront her" I said and immediately I opened the store lock. I breathed in deeply and turn to Luca, he's as worried as me.

"You stay back...I will see her alone." I said and with that I opened the door, I walked into the store. The door closed after.

I walked forward....and like I expected, her presence came.

"What are you doing here, you bad witch!."Her voice came up but am sure she's hiding. She dare not come out.

"Where is she, Esperanza?" I asked staring at dark cage at my front.

"You killed her...What do you expect me to do?? I sent her home already because that's where she belongs." She laughed while I tighten my fist.

"You know what will happen to her! You know she would be destroyed by the king! Esperanza, you know very well I hate you because of what you've done to me in the past and how you made me and that goddamn Child go into hiding for several years!....How could you sent her there? To...to be killed?.."I muttered as I sob.

"You don't want her to die? Why?? Because she's your Flesh and blood??." She appear in front of me. She was putting on her royal dark clothes. She smiled.

"You and I know that she was a Mistake! A Mistake! And if you haven't reported me to the king and chiefs...maybe, she wouldn't have to go through the pains and how I treated her!. " I yelled and move closer to Esperanza. She had a smirk on her.

"Look here my beautiful sister, I wasn't the one who slept with a Human. So, why are you still locking me up here? Release me if you want me to save your goddamn child! Oh, that reminds me, you've lost your Inner powers. " She laughed while I look at her angered and bittered.

Was it my fault to love a Human? Was it my fault to have committed a Treason? I have no guts to tell my own child that am her mother!

"Okay...I will release you."I said breaking the silence while she giggled.

"That's what I love about you.."

"But on one condition... "

[DEON KINGDOM🏡🏡]

[King Lucien Luca Deon's Palace]

Lucien's POV

"She's here?"I turn immediately facing my personal guard. "Tell me full in details" he came closer to my hearing and whispered something to me.

I widened my eyes...tighten up my fist as my blue eyes turn pure red. That witch! That witch!

"Take me to her now!."I said and without hesitating I was led to her cage.

She was the reason for my pains! Kill! Tarnish! Those words were the only thing that ring on my head.

Nicole's POV:

"....Anybody there? Somebody Help!..."I screamed but all I could get back was echoes, my echoes. Why does this place looks like a dungeon?

Why on earth am I chained?? I struggle with the heavy chains tied up with my hands but it only make a hell of noise. The echoes was too strong, Can any body hear me? Why am I locked up here??!

I remember vividly when Auntie Margareta pierced the knife right into my chest...and...and..I collapsed and after that I couldn't remember anything else!.

Wait; Am I in heaven?? Hell no! Heavens don't have dark place like this!...

"Auntie Maggie?...Ivy???...Anyone there?...Please help me...?!"I yelled and struggle with the chains on my legs. I was tied to a Long iron both with my hands and legs and I was looking like a second Jesus.!

Ah!..this Hurts like Mad! Is this auntie's doing??

Then, I heard footsteps coming in..I couldn't see the people who came in but I could notice the way their clothes speaks of Honour. Who are they?

Are they auntie Maggie's Allies?? Are they here to finally kill me?. What a life have come to!

"Please...who are you...please, I beg of you, release me" I said as I stare in to the dark. I heard one of them smirk.

"Do you think you can escape from my Kingdom?!..." A deep masculine voice came up. He's a Man. I think they are Maggie's Allies. One person I know as aunt's personal assistance is Luca. He's the only one who could follow aunt's orders to this extend. Damn it!

"Luca is that you?...." I asked as I cough slightly. At least, I know someone here.

"Please Luca...."

"How dare you! How dare you Anastasia?! How dare you low life slave call his royal majesty by his Name?! You deserve death! A horrible death!" The other man barked and it was more like a threat to me.

Okay; what on earth are these two talking about?? Anastasia? Who's Anastasia?? I'm Nichole! Nichole Rodriquez!

Majesty? Kingdom? Why is that man saying horrible things about me??

"... What do you mean..."

"You will pay for what you did and how you tried to escape from me! I will make sure of that!..." The other man who I supposed to be Luca yelled also. So deep and mean...Luca does speak so mean and deep like this man does.

Where...am I? Am I kidnapped??

"....I think you've gotten the wrong person Mister...I...I'm not Anastasia...am Nichole! Nichole Rodriguez!." I tried to defend myself but instead the 'Luca' came forward and if I wasn't mistaken....this man looks nothing like the Luca I know!

"Oh...really?? Well, we will see to that when you're sliced into pieces in front of my Palace tomorrow morning!" He said while I trembled.

"You Daughter of a Murderer!' With that he turn with the other man and walked out of the dark room.

Palace...Kingdom? Anastasia??

Where...where am I?? Where is Auntie Maggie??!
