šÆ SHEBA šÆ
Episode 10 (Unedited)
Edward’s POV
Just like she and my guys wanted, I made love to her.
I didn’t feel guilty, was there a nee-d to punish myself when the woman I carve for wouldn’t let me have my way peacefully.
She left not long when a strange number called for the 100th time.
“Yes?” I picked for the first time.
“Baby, where are you?”
The voice shocked me, I stared at the phone for a while before returning it to my ear.
“Sheba?”
“I made breakfast, come home” She announced.
I sat up, wondering if this was a set up.
“Hello” She spoke when she didn’t hear anything from my end.
“On my way” I as-sured with a rather shaking voice.
She ended the call, I was left in shock, total shock.
I had to talk to my guys, they gave me the courage to return home. It wasn’t an easy decision but I took it br@vely.
I left for the palace at once.

Sheba’s POV
Though I feel something for him, something I had felt right after we got married. I never wanted to admit that it was love because I can’t picture myself loving a criminal with all the powers and money in my custody.
Right now, I don’t care what he is or what he use to be, I have to listen to Laiza, she have given just an instruction “Take care of Edward”. I knew what she meant, she meant I should make him feel loved even if I have to allow him have S-x with me.
My lamp is all I have for now, there are lot of mystery to unravel in this family, who exactly is Maya? What’s the as-signment my boss have given her to carry out?
I can’t wait, I can’t wait to see and know the entire truth.
I just asked the chef what his favorite food was, she said baked beans and I took my time ma-king the best for him. I called, a maid gave me his contact, he promised to be home soon.
I sat at the table, waiting patiently for him.
And, he c@mĀ£. I flashed him and smile, he arched his brows.
He halted at the door, probably confused at the scene.
“Come now” I grinned.
He walked up to me and chose a seat at the other row, I chuckled.
Without a word, i dished out for him and went to sit next to him. He was uncomfortable in his seat, clearing his throat a million times as he stared at the food like it was an abomination.
“I wouldn’t hurt you, seriously” I as-sured.
He remained mute, staring blankly at the space. I breathed, it would be ha-rd convincing him that i wasn’t going to do anything bad to him. I ate out of the food, he looked in my direction and look away almost at once.
“You don’t trust me? I am your wife” I cried.
He snorted.
I pushed the plate at him, he carefully roamed the food with his eyes then, li-cked the spoon with the ti-p of his ton-gue. Loving the taste, he started gobbling and i smiled.
“Sheba” He called out, he was at the middle of the dish.
“Yes dear”
“Why did you make this for me?” He asked, munching another spoon.
“Because I love you”
His spoon fell off, he looked at me with wi-de eyes, I nodded.
“I……I….” He stuttered.
“Just eat, don’t stress it” I pleaded.
He ate but uncomfortably.
“Who are you?” Was the confusing question he asked immediately he emptied his plate.
“Your wife now” I said, wondering what who are you meant.
“You use to hate me” He said and i immediately knew what he was driving at.
“That was in the past, I love you now” I as-sured.
“I am scared, I nee-d to be honest, If you have just succeeded in poisoning me, plea-se reverse it, i am just 29” He cried.
Wouldn’t it sound stupid if I had said I never knew his age?
“I didn’t poison you honey” I win-ked.
“StĀ©p this sweet names, when did this start?” His voice was a bit raised, if I wasn’t powerless, I would have sl@pped him for raising his voice at me.
“Edward, why did you r@pĀ£ those girls?” I suddenly asked, I really nee-ded to know what his problem was.
He bent his head down, staring at the empty plate in front of him.
“I don’t know, I can ha-rd ly remember, I only recollect about four of those scenes, I have R@pĀ£d so much, haven’t I?” He asked, raising his head to look at me.
“I think so, I mean you are responsible for the few reported r@pĀ£ cases in the town, you were sĀ£nt home from the state too because you R@pĀ£d a lot of ladies over there too, it was like your only job was to r@pĀ£ women, can’t you remember?” I frowned.
“I can’t really remember, three days back, I fainted along side you and Maya, when i woke up, I saw a live movie of myself ra-ping women all over the place, I heard I have been to jail because of that too?”
I rolled my eyes, does that mean this guy have been doing this r@pĀ£s without his permission? What about mine? He wouldn’t deny that too.
“But you r@pĀ£ me too, you were in your right s-en-ses and i am sure you can remember” I frowned at him.
He raised his head to look straight in my face, tears dr!ppĀ£ddown his eyes.
“I haven’t seen anything woman as beautiful as yourself all my life, I had a crush on you since I saw you two years ago, I still cant explain what c@mĀ£ over me but I am sure something took over me, I felt so powerful and I boldly faced you, Sheba, I am sorry for ma-king your first time horrible, If only you had cooperated” He cried like a baby.
I stretched my left hand across, I carefully smooched his hand asking him to stĀ©p crying but he couldn’t hold it.
“What have you done to him again, witch!” Maya ran downstairs, she must have heard him crying.
I sli-pped my hand off his and held my peace.
“You would leave this house, I promise” She threatened.
I supported my chin with my palm as i watched.
She led him upstairs, he couldn’t even say anything in defense, he just wept.
I asked the maids to clear the plates while i left for the room.
ššš
Maya’s POV
Only God knows what she did to him again, I put him to sleep after few minutes.
I missed my fiance, he was out of town, we haven’t seen since Edward’s wedding, though he had promised to return home to me in and short while.
Edward’s 30th birthday is in three weeks, I was planning with my husband to be to celebr@te it in a grand style.
It was suppose to be a surprise to my loving brother.
But, Sheba.
Who knows what she would do to Edward before then? What if she kills him for me? No.
I have to get three things done.
First, use my powers and give him extra protec-tion then, talk to the Queen to join hands with me so that we would sĀ£nd that witch parking and lastly, I must see that she leaves, irrespective of whatever powers she claims to have.
I stood up, went to my wardrobe and returned with a white calabash, i sprayed him with the content while he sle-pt like at child.
“From evil, you are safe. You wouldn’t eat from the same plate the devil ate” I murmured as i went round the be-d spraying him.
When i was done, I left for my mother’s room.
“I think she nee-ds to leave” I bur-sted immediately i stepped into the room. Queen have a personal room, she refused sharing a room with the King aside on days when she felt too happy to sleep alone.
“I thought I was the only one that never liked her” She chuckled as she wiped her face in front of the mirror.
I frowned, she never told me she hated her.
“Mom, you never said anything against her now”
She turned to face me, smiling.
“I don’t want my head to roll, you know what she can do” She reminded.
I exhaled.
“She made Eddy cry again this morning, I am sick and tired of her” I spat, anger rose inside me.
“She would leave, just that you would have to be in charge, i can’t watch my son being mĀ©lĀ£stĀ£dby an ordinary woman, i wished there was something to ruin her and her powers” Mom said, she wore a sad face.
“Mom, don’t worry about her, i would led, just support me, she’s no match, trust me”

šÆ SHEBA šÆ
Episode 11 (Unedited)
Since two days, Maya had been hostile along side the Queen, you would think they knew about the disappearance of my powers.
Edward knew nothing about this, we still don’t talk much. He only called over the over to ask about my night in the morning then, he wishes me a good night at night. I wanted to meet him so that i would return the car keys i seized and maybe plead with him to come share the same room with me. But, i haven’t seen him since two days, I guessed he had somewhere he wouldn’t want to miss going to daily.
We only met at the dinning table, morning and night. But i dare not bring up any discussion when the Queen and Maya are on seat.
Though, we shared sĀ£dƻƧt!veglance, It wasn’t enough for me, I suddenly wanted him to make love to me, last night he had said something n@Ć»ghty before ending the call “I would sneak up on you one of this days and have you again, but, I wouldn’t f0rƧĀ£ it, I would wait until you crazily carve for me, then I would take you on a journey, you would see a land you have never seen, I wouldfu-ck the hell out of you”
I ended the call blu-shing, the words tickled me but then, would that day ever c@mĀ£? If he felt something like that for me, why didn’t he just come back to his room and enjoy his marital rite.
As early as 5:00am, I waited patiently at my door step, whenever I heard footsteps, I jumped into the room, leave the door ajar and peeped from the space, both times, It was the Queen going to and fro. Who knows what she was searching for so early in the morning.
I had returned to my previous position for the second time, then he c@mĀ£ out in his Pyjamas yawning. He wasn’t facing my direction when he stepped out but I knew there was no way he wouldn’t pas-s my door if he ever wanted anything downstairs.
But, he had no plans of going downstairs, he started trailing on his track, oh damn me, I forgot Maya meant the world to him, he wouldn’t do anything if he haven’t wished her a good morning, he was heading for her room, he sle-pt in a different room, I guess for privacy purposes.
“Sissssssss” I made a sound behind him, hoping that it gets to his ears before he reached her door.
He heard it, he turned.
I smiled, waving at him.
He stood hands akimbo, arched brows, he flashed a smile.
Just that smile alone, my p@n-ties dampened.
I pushed my index f!nger forward, bending it to my direction constantly, I asked him to come foward.
He walked up to me, his gaze not leaving me one bit.
I quic-kly pu-ll-ed him in and jumped at him, holding him ti-ght to my bĀ©dy.
“He held me back, breathing into my shoulder.
That morning must have been the best of my life, I haven’t felt like this before, my heart burnt in lvst, I wanted S-x but I couldn’t admit it, I don’t even know how to demand for it. I just wished he could re-ad my mind and do the nee-dful.
“Wifey” He softly called.
He traced his way to my un-der p@n-ties lifting my transparent night go-wn up.
“Uhmmm” I gro-an ed, my nub ha-rd ened, breathing and pleading for his intervention.
“I have to go see Maya”
His words broke me, I withdrew from his hold, I thought he claimed he loved me? He could still not s-en-se what mood I was and what he wasn’t supposed to say.
“Okay” Was my cold response as I gently walked up to the be-d, sitting on the edge, I wept inside me, it was like I was forcing myself on him.
“I don’t mean to……….”
“Go, I know she’s the only thing that means the world to you, I am just an option” I folded my arms pouting.
He c@mĀ£ to sit next to me and pu-ll-ed me into his che-st.
“You’re my wife and you remain that forever, you are important dear” He as-sured, running his left paw across my back.
“Why wouldn’t you come here daily too? Or maybe, move in, it’s your room” I pleaded.
“Sheba, I can’t stay here with you, I am scared of you” His tone changed, I s-en-sed fear.
I raised my head to look at him slowly, he looked de-ep in my eyes.
“I wouldn’t hurt you, I swear” I said, hoping that he changes his mind.
“You sound like you really want me” He grinned stylishly, I snorted.
“I can’t move in, I promise to knock at your door every morning before I go to see Maya, am sure you nee-d nothing right?”
I scrunched my brows, I nee-ded him.
“I am good” I lied.
He nodded, stood up and stretched.
“hvg” He spre-ad his arms open, asking to be hvgged.
I reluctantly stood up and held on to him.
He didn’t let me go, I didn’t push him away either.
Fiamm, the door flung open, the Queen caught us in that position and I felt embarras-sed.
I felt like I was doing something I shouldn’t be caught doing, maybe because I wasn’t use to doing stuffs like this all alone with the opposite gender or because I had turned the Prince down and vowed not to allow him have me.
“Edward, what are you doing here?” The Queen roared, the question was for him but the stares were for me, dangerous stares.
He held my w@!st as i hid my face in his che-st.
“c@mĀ£ to spend time with Sheba, any problem?”
Why can’t he just address me as his wife, why Sheba?
“I see, so you still feel comfortable around her? You want this witch to kill you? Oya, Out” She roared.
He breathed, he yanked me off his bĀ©dy, you would think he was un-der some f0rƧĀ£s, he walked past the Queen leaving I and her in the room.
“Let me see how you would have peace in this house, I thought you called my son names, you said he was a criminal, a sĀ¢v-m bla bla, don’t tell me you want him now” She spoke. The words flung out of her mouth as she demonstrated her anger by clenching her tooth.
“Queen, plea-se” I went on my kneels, crawled up to her and held her toes “I love him now, I would take care of him even when you’re no more, I give my words”
I had said something I shouldn’t have said, she thought I wished her death, she was so furious, raining curses on me and she promised me that I would leave, She said she would make sure that I misued my powers so that Laiza would str!p them off me.
They didn’t know, that the powers were no longer there, the ones left were so little that I couldn’t even risk wasting them on fighting my in-laws. So what if they knew that I no longer have powers, they might just sĀ£nd me packing.
When she left, I shut the door, looking forward to the next morning when I would have him to myself again, I can’t believe I was craving for him and I don’t even have full access to him.
I went into the bathroom to bath, I felt strange presĀ£nce, maybe her, I wasn’t sure as I no longer have the powers to perceive and differentiate between her and other demons.
“Laiza, are you here?” I asked, staring straight in the mirror in front if me.
“Yes” She responded.
I smiled.
I turned around even though I don’t know where she was standing “It been a while”
“Am right beside the WC” She said, when she realized I kept twisting my nĀ£Ā¢k to catch a glimpse of her.
“I seriously want my powers back, plea-se” I pleaded.
“Your reactions to things would determine if you would get them back” She said.
“There’s nothing to react to, I have learnt to love him, I am having great difficulties with his mother and sister, you can be sure I wouldn’t hurt him if you return my powers, plea-se” I pleaded.
She laughed.
“Get closer to your husband and I must say, you did a great job this morning, always follow your instincts, your in laws aren’t a problem, just make sure you spoil Edward with everything, your bĀ©dy is his, for the second time, my message remains, take care of him”
Those were her words.
“I did a great job this morning?” I murmured, wondering what exactly I did.
I faced the mirror, added paste to my brush and cleaned my tooth.
My phone rang in the room, I went for it.
“Sheba, I miss you”
He ended the call at once, I giggled.
“I miss you too baby” I murmured back at the cell.

Edward’s POV
I am in love š.
No doubt, She’s got a better p@rt of me, I sleep and dream of her, I see ladies and see her instead, I carved for her bĀ©dy like I have had none in the past years.
I would have loved to share the room with her, I would have loved to have her wake up in the morning on my che-st, how Is wished we could stay up all night cudd-ling and k!ssing.
But, I can’t just share the room with her, Mom now hates her, Maya too. I myself, I am really scared of her.
Yesterday, I just realised something.
Mom had talked to Raymond earlier on to make I and Remi meeting happen, Remi was the girl the Queen wants me to divorce Sheba for.
Maya was in support and they were trying to make the palace hell for Sheba. I vacated the house during the day because I can’t watch them embarras-s her every now and then, I wouldn’t want to witness a scene where she would cut the flesh of either my mom or Maya in pieces.
After that long sleep we all had, things have changed.
My guys said I was no longer the bad boy they knew, Maya said dad use to hate me because I was tarnishing his image, I can’t even remember all those bad things they testified to.
Maya use to be courageous but after that sleep, her courage doubled, she faced Sheba like she had forgotten that she was a deity in human’s form.
And Sheba, so so humble and gentle. She now does something that was said to be an abomination “Kneeling down for the King”
She did that every morning and night when their paths met at the dinning table.
Even if I decided to move into my room with her, Maya would be so bittered and I don’t want to hurt my darling sister or cause issues between her and Sheba.
I had to pl@ywith my head, I knew I loved her but it had bec@mĀ£ an abomination to talk to Maya about what I truly felt for Sheba. The best is to sneak into Sheba’s room when none is watching and sneak out again.
I would stand with her once she returns the belt, I can only be sure she truly wants me when she re-lease the belt that meant a lot to the town and herself.
