❤️⚔️Episode Nineteen⚔️❤️
••Jamal’s POV••
‘Let’s go home!’..i gr-unted un-der my breath as soon as the dangerous silence pas-sed between Leana and I…
‘Why?? But we’re having so much fun??’..She asked and I frowned de-eply..
‘And since when did you start questioning my orders huh?? I said let’s go home!!’…
‘What about TJ??’..she asked again and my eyes darted to TJ who was busy pla-ying with his peers…
‘Fine then we can stay’..I murmured un-der my breath and a smile spre-ad across my face..
‘Jamal you still wanna dance??’..Vedu asked but I shook my head..
‘Just go ahead I’m going in for a drink’..I said and walked towards the village tavern to get a drink..
Leana followed behind but I deliberately ignored her so as not to repeat what I did yesterday….
Why on earth did I even punch dagger on the face??..
Oh yes cause he was tou-ching her lusciously and thinking I wouldn’t notice…
‘One giant cu-p of dark liquor!!’..i hollered the bartender..
‘Ohhh and what would your wife have??’..He asked..
‘Give her water’..I replied and Leana scoffed from beside me .
‘That’s nons-en-se I’ll have the same thing as his thank you’..She said and I turned around…
‘Do you have any idea of what a giant glas-s is?? And who is going to pay??’..I asked with a scowl on my face…
‘Ohhh so you think I can’t drink cause I’m a woman??’..She retorted…
Like where is this audacity coming from?!!..
And why am I not even doing anything about it??..
‘Yes I think a woman can’t have that amount of strong alcohol cause y’all are weak and can’t take alcohol strongly’..i finally said after a moment of pause…
‘If the lady wants a giant cu-p then give her one’..A pas-serby ch!pped in and I frowned..
‘Why don’t you mind your business old man—Leana if you want a giant cu-p then it’s fine but don’t come to me for help when you’re hopelessly drun!k…
••Ivan’s POV••
‘Come on Ivan let’s dance!!’..My sister Maya urged but I just wasn’t in the mood…
‘plea-se leave me alone Maya I’m not interested’..I said downing another bottle of pure whiskey…
‘You’re going to keep wallowing in sorrow even on the Perdi festival?? Come on brother look around and cheer up for once!! Mother and father are alre-ady getting irritated’..She said and I just sighed de-eply…
‘You won’t un-derstand Maya,I miss her’..I murmured downing another bottle..
‘Yes you miss her but if she were to see you now do you think she’d be happy??? Get a hold of yourself Ivan it’s not the end of the world!!’..She yelled and i sighed a really depressing sigh…
‘I love her and you know that Maya and without her I feel like it’s the end of the world’…
‘It’s not the end of the world Ivan—Who knows she might be happy wherever she is’…
••Authoress’s POV••
‘Drink!! Drink!! Drink!! Drink!!’..The men cheered on as Leana downed another gigantic glas-s of raw alcohol which they called ‘The Beast’..
‘She’s going to kill herself if she continues like that’..A woman few tables away whispered to her fellow gossiper.
‘Isn’t she Jamal’s wife?? Our Jamal’s wife??’..
‘She is’..
‘Ohhh she certainly has no shame,no married woman would behave like this and he isn’t doing anything about it.Has he grown that soft??’..
‘Who knows!? Maybe she’s charmed cause she’s a red head…I once heard redheads are bad luck and are witches’..
‘So you’re saying she’s a witch??’..The first gossiper asked and her colleague nodded..
‘I’m pretty sure she’s a witch if not why would she be so comfortable with these men who derive the plea-sure of seeing her humiliate herself’..
Shadow listened on and couldn’t help but get angry at the way they were gossiping about him…
He was known for being popular in these p@rts and also for keeping a low profile on his pri-vate life…
His job was to take care of the villagers and not make the villagers be skeptical about his life??…
And this was all because of one person…
••Jamal’s POV••
I watched on angrily as Leana downed the fourth glas-s of alcohol and laughed hysterically…
She climbe-d to the t©p of the table and began jumping like a kid who was given a meat skewer…
‘She’s getting out of control Jamal and if not for the fact that you are one of our best fighter I would have kicked you out a long time ago’..The tavern owner said and I nodded pursing myl-ips…
She c@m£ down from the table and one of the men gr@bb£d her bu-ttocks and at that moment all hell went loose…
‘You t©uçhed my wife’..I gro-an ed as I walked over to his table and he arched his brow…
‘Yes and so??’..He asked and I took out my pocket knife,punched him ha-rd on the face and then cut off his index f!nger…
‘This is just a warning,the next time you t©uçh her or any other woman again just know that I’m coming for you’..I whispered and he cried out in pain…
With the same burning annoyance I walked over to Leana and hurled her over my shoulder…
‘What are you doing?!!’..She cried out .
‘I’m going to teach you a lesson you’d never forget!!’..
••Leana’s POV••
The next morning⛅
.
.
.
A loud thudding sound in my head woke me up and when I stretched my hands it t©uçhed someone…
I quic-kly turned around and screamed loudly seeing Shadow next to me but he didn’t bother waking up…
Damn the…
I’m n-ked!!..
‘St©p yelling’..i heard him mutter inside his pillow and quic-kly groped the be-d cover un-der my armpit..
‘Wh..What happened last night?? What happened last night??’..I asked in tears..
‘Well you got drun!kand we made love’..He replied and I cried out..
‘No!!!!’…
❤️⚔️Episode Twenty⚔️❤️
••Leana’s POV••.
‘Love?!! But that isn’t possible I don’t feel anything?!! You can’t have taken advantage of my b©dy like that!!’…I cried out in tears as Shadow slid a shi-t on…
‘Ohhh really?? You drank to stupor last night Leana and when you s£dûç£d me what were you expecting?! I might hate you but I’m a man nevertheless!!!’..He yelled back and the tears couldn’t help but pour out of my eyes…
All my life I’ve always dreamt of giving my b©dy to only the one true man that I love and which is Ivan and now I loose it to this man?!?…
The man who captured me…
‘You shouldn’t have done that!! You have no shame!!’..I cried out and he sm-irked lightly walking over…
‘You’re not a v!rg!nso what’s the problem??’..He muttered and then I scoffed..
‘Of course I’m not a v!rg!nbut that doesn’t mean my b©dy is for you too use?! I made love with someone else before and it was only once and a painful experience and stupid mistake but I’m still inexperienced with all those things!!! You took advantage of me!!’..I yelled angrily and he walked away…
In sheer frustration and anger I threw my pillow across the room…
‘Leaya what’s a vir-gin??’..TJ asked as he c@m£ into the room and I gulped ha-rd ..
‘Uhhh a v!rg!nis someone that’s young’..i quic-kly lied and he nodded walking away…
‘Yayyi!! I’m a vir-gin!!’..He squealed and then minutes later Shadow c@m£ in..
‘What did you tell my son?! What did you tell him?!’..He yelled and then a full sm-irk appeared on my face…
‘I told him of how you used my b©dy last night and how I hate you even more!’..
‘Shut up Leana I never used you or even sle-pt with you!! tem-pted? Yes I was but I never sleep with a woman without her cons£nt! Not everyone is a user like your father!!!’..He screamed loudly..
‘Don’t bring my father into this!! You’re the one who gave him a heart attack!! Don’t drag my father into this and don’t lie about not slee-ping with me!!’…I fired back still clutching the blankets to cover my n-kedness..
‘I did not sleep with you!!’..
‘Then why am I n-ked?!’..
‘Cause you were drun!kto stupor and I had to carry on my back all the way home! You vomited all over the house and I had to take off your clothes!! I’m not a per-verted man for your information so i closed my eyes while taking them off and then covered you with a blanket!! Even though you were in your room you still found your way over to mine but with your blanket still wra-pped around you so spare me the stupid accusations and why do I even have to explain myself to you when you clearly don’t matter!!’..He explained and then my hands dropped…
He didn’t even t©uçh me knowing fully well that I was n-ked??..
‘If I don’t matter then why did you help me??’..i asked and he let out a slight wince..
‘Put on your clothes we’re going to the market and this time wear a nose veil’…
‘Why??’..
‘Don’t ask.Just do’..
••Ivan’s POV••
‘Your highness your breakfast is re-ady’..Nirvana,my personal maid that father employed muttered nervously as she dropped my breakfast in front of me…
‘Are you okay??’..i asked and she nodded still looking shy..
‘You don’t have to be shy around me Nirvana I’m not a monster’..I murmured still adjusting the turban wra-pped around my we-t hair..
‘W..well your highness I..I..I’ll be taking my leave now’..She stuttered and walked away briskly..
I wonder where mother got that beautiful woman from to be honest…
I almost thought she was a royal but surprisingly she was just a scullery maid but I promoted her to be my personal one..
I don’t know why but I just feel a good aura around her even though she’s clumsy…
‘Your highness Princess Nevida is here to see you’..She said interluding on my thoughts..
‘Ohhh..let her in then’…I replied and she nodded walking away…
I sipped a portion of my herbal tea and then in a minute Nevida bur-sted throu-gh the door…
‘You’ve been avoiding me Ivan!!’..She yelled..
‘I don’t un-derstand what you’re talking about Nevida,how have I been avoiding you?’..I queried in a frown…
‘The Perdi festival Ivan!! You literally c@m£ up with an excuse every time I tried talking to you!! Do you think I’m that cheap??’..She scoffed..
‘I don’t think you’re cheap Nevida I think you’re delusional’..I replied and her mouth went agape…
‘I’m delusional??Fine then Ivan and just so you know I know where Leana is!!’..She yelled and turned around..
‘Wait!! Wait Nevida!’..I called after her and she st©pped dead on her tracks..
‘What do you want??’..She asked..
‘plea-se tell me where Leana is plea-se’..i begged and she smiled..
‘I’ll tell you where she is only on one condition’…
••Leana’s POV••
At Night☄️
.
.
.
It was alre-ady night and Shadow was still avoiding me like I had a plague or something…
He didn’t eat my breakfast..
He didn’t say a word at the central market and only conversed with the traders in a strange dialect…
He didn’t eat my lunch..
Now I prepared dinner and he still refused to eat..
What is wrong with him??..
And most of all what is wrong with me??…
Why do I even Care about him?!..
Why do I feel so jittery when he’s around me?!..
If he says he doesn’t Care then why did he take of me last night..
‘Leaya you made yayyi angry’..TJ muttered as he walked over…
‘Angry?? You don’t know that?’..Nervously I replied..
‘He called me Terin’..He adamantly said and I sighed de-eply…
Shadow only calls his son Terin when he’s really really mad…
Shadow is always in a gloomy mood but never have has he ignored me the way he normally does for these past few hours…
And for the fact that it’s bothering me irritates me the more..
••Jamal’s POV••
Going over the blueprint of the house I was going to infiltrate for a p@rticular target sli-pped a feather pen out of it’s ink and marked the vantage points..
‘What do you want??’..I asked in a frown as Leana c@m£ into my room…
‘Shadow i—
‘Leave’..I cut in..
‘Shadow plea-se listen to me plea-se i—
‘I won’t repeat myself twice Leana.Leave’..I repeated..
’You want to scream at me?!! Yell at me?! Well you’re free to do so Shadow but plea-se don’t ignore me!!’..She cried out and in anger I stood up and walked up to her…
‘We hate each other Leana!! I hate you with so much pas-sion that i feel like strangling you every single time so what do you expect huh?? Roses and cauliflower cakes?!!’..I yelled and instead of backing away she wra-pped her arms around me and sobbe-d lightly…
‘You hate me and i hate you too but plea-se don’t ignore me I can’t bear it anymore…Yell at me,curse me,hit me,hate me but plea-se don’t ignore me’..She said with her head on my che-st and I began feeling something which I haven’t felt in a long time…
‘Leana let go’..i murmured trying to push her away but I just couldn’t..
I’m so doomed…
TBC😓…
Leana is something else to be honest..
What does shadow mean by he’s doomed??…
And what is Nevida talking about??..
