💯 SHEBA 💯
Episode 14 (Unedited)
Sheba’s POV
I watch as she served her punishment.
Her father couldn’t take it, he faced the wall while the Queen never st©p looking in my direction.
Edward was totally out of shape, he jumped in the air trying to bring her down but he failed as she floated from his reach.
This girl was misusing her powers and Laiza was punishing her. I don’t nee-d a sooth sayer to tell this to me.
The Queen walked up to me and pu-ll-ed my night go-wn violently, God, I have nothing un-derneath and it was so easy to tear into shreds. Thank God the King was facing the wall, I’d have swooned.
“What have you done to my daughter?” She roared, a sl@p k!$$£d my face.
I held on to my face, a tear escaped my right eye.
Edward wasn’t looking, he was trying all he could in helping Maya.
I whuffled.
I looked in her eyes, she raised her hand up again and suddenly began to hiccu-p. She stiffened.
Her arched paw in the air, her eyes turned red as she caught her breath.
Edward’s eyes darted to his hiccu-ping mother, his eyes bulged, I was standing unclad in front of her as I sobbe-d. He flin-ched, running towards her.
“Mom” He yelled.
I heard that yell behind closed door, I had jumped out before the King would turn around to rescue his wife.
The hall way was deserted, so I risked running down to my room n-ked.
But, about three of them bur-sted into the hallway, their race must have been triggered by the noise they heard inside, the palace guards.
My heart accelerated, I froze.
The next minute, I sat on the ba-re floor, my legs interlocked, my arms folded across my br£@st and my head staring at the floor.
“Go girl, none shall see your nudity in the open” Her voice echoed.
I looked up, they increa-sed their pace.
“Holy $h!t!”
I had to stand on my foot and toss to the opposite side of the Hall way as the three of them were going to walk directly into me in another second. They didn’t even see me not to talk of my n-ked b©dy.
I ran very fast into my room, back behind the closed door, I whispered “Thank you, Laiza”
I just finished having my morning bath when he barge in, he was tensed, his demeanor totally changed from the charming Prince that gave me a mind b!owing organs just an hour or two ago.
“What did you do to them?” He fired, bolting the door behind us.
“Nothing, nothing, I swear” I protested, dropping the b©dy lotion I was holding.
“Come here” He ordered, I swear I could swear that I saw devil, It was not him, this man in front of me was nothing but a beast.
I walked gently into his che-st, he pushed me few inches away and pu-ll-ed my towel off my b©dy.
He did a lot of staring at my n-ked b©dy and suddenly turned to face the door.
“Damn it” He hit his fist on the door, his forehead k!$$£d it, his left hand slightly above his head.
“Look” He suddenly turned around.
“I agree that you have a great effect on me, maybe you casted a spell on me as always, but listen here, I’d do anything for those women so start talking, what the hell did you do to them?” He bellowed.
I sank in my soul, I did nothing.
I stayed mute, sobbing inwardly.
He lurched at me, gr@bb£d by the n£¢k I was made to face the wall while he pu-ll-ed a knife from behind his back and plugged it straight in my n£¢k.
“Forget spirituals, if you move this damn knife would sink down your n£¢k and I wouldn’t be sorry, un-derstood?” He warned.
I wanted to shake my head but I was scared, what if this knife sank into my n£¢k? I had no fv¢king powers and Laiza was always on this Prince’s side.
“What did you do to them?” He roared, his mouth almost k!$$£d my ear.
“Nothing, I swear” I cried.
He threw me into the be-d, jumped into it after me, his hand held my n£¢k ti-ght as he f0rç£d me to sit up while he straddled on my l@ps.
“Sheba, tell meee” He growled.
Tears began to pour down as I stammered the words “I no longer have powers, Laiza took them that night I went on conscious, I did nothing to them, I’d swear to that” I pleaded.
He gave me de-ep stares.
He got down my l@ps and angrily flung the knife across the room.
“No wonder, you suddenly love me.
You feared mom and Maya suddenly.
I though as much, the Sheba I knew feared no one” He ranted, from his observations.
I whuffled and hiccu-ped.
He sat at the edge of the be-d, back turned on me, head in his palms as he seems to be in de-ep thought.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked.
I wiped my tears, trying to put myself together.
“I wanted to tell you after returning the belt, the Queen and Maya have been ma-king life as your wife unbearable for me, I knew you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you, I was also scared that you’d tell the Queen and Maya about it, I have nothing here, just you”
Fresh tears replaced the ones I had wiped.
He gro-an ed, separating his hair with his hand as he jumped off the be-d.
“I love you not less” Was his last words as he searched for the knife he had flung earlier and left the room when he found it.
He didn’t look in my eyes to say that, I don’t know if he truly meant them, I just wished there were things I could do to ease my self of all this troubles.
Everyday, new trouble.

Edward’s POV
I was first terrified, Queen stiffened and Maya yelling in the air.
The only person that could have done that was Sheba, maybe she was upset that they were rude to her earlier on. Well, that was what I thought until she said her powers were gone.
I summoned all the courage in the world to face her, I love her so much but, I was scared for the lives of my mom and sister.
So who did that to both of them? It was necessary I faced her because I nee-ded a solution to their problems, I eventually didn’t ask her for one since she said she was powerless.
I had returned to Maya’s room and to my surprise, they were out of the bond.
I breathed, jumping into them as they sat helplessly on the floor.
The King had left the room, he never wanted troubles, at the sight of issues like this, he just left the scene. Most of the time, he left his council to sort out disturbing issues while he just signed whatever solution they had come up with.
“Maya, what happened? Are you okay?” I pu-ll-ed her head against my che-st.
She was crying bitterly, the Queen was wailing next to her, both not saying anything except pouring down tears.
I was frustrated really, I bounced out of the room and went for my morning bath, I’d better leave the house before they get me crazy.
And Sheba, I don’t know if I believe her or not.
She seems to be saying the truth especially with her new character, obviously she had no powers again.

Maya’s POV
Fire 🔥 burnt inside me, the fire I had ignited.
I had increa-sed my grip on her when I realized she was powerless, she didn’t nee-d to tell me before I saw her empty soul, though, Sheba was 30% human, the larger p@rt of her was every other thing, monster, spirit, witch and the rest you can think of. Infact, she’s an animal, a tigress.
But those powers aren’t functioning at the moment, according to Laiza, they would begin to work again when she gets super furious and that was just a clue for me.
I never knew I bec@m£ a witch, I have thought about discussing my new found powers with the Queen but I have not found the perfect time to reveal everything to her. It seems like Laiza gave those powers to me but why?
When I was younger, I use to have terrifying dreams of which I ha-rd ly recollect when I wake up. Sometimes, I saw kids pla-ying in our then sitting room all dressed in white.
We were never born into a royal family, Dad just bec@m£ King over night. The people and oracle chose him, a common civil servant.
That aside, so if Sheba can’t be hurt? How do I and mom ensure that Edward does the right rituals before two weeks?
“Mom, I ask you again, how do we go about this? Brother must not die” I cried.
We were in her pri-vate room, she was foaming, upset that she wasn’t able to sl@p hell out of Sheba.
Upset that she was humiliated in her own palace, it disgusted her, she boiled, growled, roared, clenched tooth and wished her nothing but death.
“My son’s life is at stake and we can’t tell him, telling him means spoiling everything, I mean the seed potency would vanish because he would be crossing it knowingly” She breathed, turning around to face me.
I was standing at the door, my back k!$$£d it firmly.
“She can’t be hurt, what do we do then?” I was getting really scared.
“Keep him away from her, ensure that your brother doesn’t see her, if possible move to his room” She suggested.
I smiled.
Why didn’t I think about this all along?
“Mom, be rest as-sured, I’d do a perfect job, they wouldn’t even get to exchange plea-santries” I as-sured, ha-rd ening my heart. Whatever it takes, I have to keep Edward alive even if it meant dying in his place.

Sheba’s POV
Immediately I got dressed, I had visited everywhere I had to visit, I told the worsh!ppers to come for the belt in the evening so that he would witness me handing it over to them.
I have had enough trouble, I just want to be happy, I nee-d him to trust me, I nee-ded his family to love me.
I had noticed something too, the King.
He ha-rd ly talk, he was comfortable with everything the family did, he just watched like a dummy and am beginning to think something was really wrong.
I was ten when he bec@m£ King, a long time it was. I had just become an Eswa and as young as I was, I was in charge of his coronation.
I smiled at those days when everything was new to me, I never knew what was going on, I just knew about strange aunty use to come to me every night, she gives me sweets and put me to sleep, Laiza.
9, 10, 11, ………………25.
And I’d be free finally or do I say I was free? Maybe not.
She had something to take in this family, what it was, I don’t know.
I had ignored Maya and the Queen’s scorns when I returned home, they were h0t and boiling and I decided to provoke them.
I made sure I sat at the sitting room where they sat as I re-ad from a magazine and laughed hysterically.
When It was evening, I went into the kitchen, I had to make dinner for my husband. He was upset with me in the morning and I was really sorry.
But sorry wasn’t enough, I had to serve him real good food.
Maya c@m£ to the kitchen too, she was up for troubles. She ha-rd ly cooks but there she was, trying to fry plantain that she eventually burnt.
God, I laughed 😁 😂😀 so loud like I was bitten by a dog.
She was frustrated, she must have thought it was really an easy thing to cook, she began to sweat as she proceeded to parboil rice and finally, she was going to slice onion. I paused, waiting for the accident to occur before laughing.
She didn’t use the chopping board, she held the onion and cut off the t©p, just the t©p, her eyes went peppery and I laughed, so sweet 😂😂.
She finally left everything messed up as she ran out with her eyes popping water like a faucet.
