Chapter 9 - I saw mom...

Before i begin, I would like to apologize for not updating in the past few days....i have been very busy...thanks for your understanding y'all😘

AMELIA'S pov

I got a massive headache trying to process the whole issue...seeing my mom....I have so many questions to ask...why didn't grandma Morena tell me anything about it....why do I have a connection with a book found in Alex's library?....I wondered what the doctor said about my health because I feel perfectly okay and nothing is wrong with me physically but I'm not sure I'm okay mentally, at all...

Falling unconscious was definitely not triggered by some sickness....I felt pulled by a force instead....

I guess I just have to wait for grandma to find out....this whole thinking is going to get my brain dama....

"Oh,my child" my thoughts were interrupted by Grandma Morena....My heart aches seeing her like this...she looked drained, I assumed it was when she heard the news that she got this worried....

I should really stop stressing this old woman about my problems

She trying to shield me from my true identity to keep me safe has taken a toll on her and the responsibility of taking care of me instead of my mom and dad...

Ha...mom and dad, I wish I really got to spend time with them...maybe I wouldn't be in the claws of the prince who treats me like trash...

"Grandma....I...I...saw.."my voice struggled to form a single simple sentence as hot tears burst in mid ways....

I can feel my weakness.... I'm not strong at all...how am I supposed to face all this..... it's tearing me apart

"Shhh....pour out your burdens on my Amy..."

Those words....it over shields every atom of sadness or doubt I could have gathered in the course of thinking.....I stay in her embrace for a long time and I find solace in her honey mixed with chocolate caramel scent..."so appealing" I muttered to my self....

"I saw mother" I finally gathered enough strength to speak.....I just hope she has answers...if the word confused, tired, disheveled, were to be humans they would probably be me....

"Tell me everything that happened" she didn't ask me how I saw her??.... question flood through my mind, maybe she knows I dreamt of her....but how....did Alex tell her anything.....

I told her everything that happened from the incident that happened with the books the first day I went to the library to the illusions and mom....and I saw tears....she was crying and seventy percent of me wanted to know whether it was my mom she was crying about or guilt that she knew about everything that occured and didn't give me a sign earlier about it...

I also wondered why those dreams didn't happen when I was in my home and why it happened in Alex's

"Grandma stop crying" I said trying to comfort her and she just gave a smile which I observed did not come from her heart and she was trying to be strong for me...

"Oh my child, I miss my daughter, your mom so much, but that isn't the reason why I'm crying dear"she said

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything sooner, I thought it wouldn't be necessary and it wouldn't happen....I somehow knew something like this was likely to occur but not the one to land you in a hospital" she said feeling guilty...she hasn't still told me anything and I'm sure she could see the unasked questions in my eyes...

"Rest my child for now....you have a long journey ahead of you" This woman keeps getting me all at sea with all this unclear sentences that she makes ...

I'm screaming in my head.....a voice that wants a lucid explanation to all this hurdles....

"No grandma tell me now" I argued....I wanted to know what was happening to me all this strange energy that I feel.... everything just seems crazy

"No baby, this isn't the right place to tell you ...."

"Tell her what!" That tough authoritative voice....prince Alex....

Watching him walk into the room with an emotion that quickly passes before I could figure out what it was....

"Uhm....tell her that she should.." she was trying to find the right words as she shivers under the presence of the almighty Alex

"That I should come visit her and also renew my pills...." I said with slight nervousness hoping that it would go unnoticed by him..

"How are you feeling now Amelia" he said with an unfazed tone and I sigh in relief, I can't afford to get into trouble with everything going on with me..

"I'm fine Prince Alex....thanks for your concern"I said, at least he's trying to be a little nice...

"You're under my roof, and I can't afford to lose someone under my roof...it could ruin my reputation" nope...I was wrong he hasn't changed a bit he's still the almighty most feared Prince with an emotionless Aura, and what the hell did he say about a reputation?

He should really disguise himself and listen to what people have to say about him in public...

"The doctor said you can go home that you're fine...."when he says home he meant

"I mean the mansion"he says as if reading my thoughts clearly....home?.....that place doesn't even have a five percent home feeling....a place where murderers of my parents reside can never be home to me...ever

Grandma hugged me and whispered in my ear...

"Go now child, I would come and visit you later to tell you about everything you're going through....I promise not to hide anything from you again" she said and gave a me big hug and then stood up to leave....

I don't want her to leave...I want to go with her....and realized that little tears were threatening to fall as I run to hug her once again....

I wondered if I would ever get to see her anytime soon...

"Enough with the hugging, we need to leave"

....

The ride to the palace was a really quiet one...with no one willing to talk to each other to break the silence....pride enveloped me and definitely the prince because no one was willing to bring it down to open the gate of speech...

We got to the palace gates that morning when I got discharged....I was really tired and we walked to the gate only to realize that someone has been waiting for us...

"Alex are you coming from..." Her voice thundered and everywhere fell silent and even I didn't dare meet her eyes when she talked

But then I guess no one is too powerful for the almighty Alex...

"And when did my going out and coming in become any of your business?" He said and I wondered if he was taking to the mother who birthed him.....well I guess they both have something in common...pride!

"You will not speak to your mother in that manner" she said

"And you will not delay us any longer MOTHER" he said with evident anger on his face and pulled my hands with so much force inside the mansion....did he just walk out of the queen of Grandcrest?

He sounds like he has a lot to our out of his heart from the way he spoke to Queen Ashley...

We finally got into the room....the room that reminds me of my dream...I could still see some similarities to what I saw in the illusion....

"Uhm, I need to take my shower...ehn" I said, hoping he would know well to give me some privacy...

"Are you saying I should leave my room"he said with a voice which screamed darkness but was somehow soothing and hoping he would speak like that again

'Damn Amelia, focus' I tell myself....

He didn't wait for my answer and he left the room and for what seemed to be like minutes when it passed....

A knock on the door

"Good morning mi lady.....Prince Alex asked me to bathe you and dress you up for late breakfast" Late breakfast?....hmm

"I'm good....I don't need you to do all that for me and you can call me Amelia please"I said tired of all the formalities for someone who came from an insignificant background....

"Milady....the prince forbids us to do that" I sighed in defeat....I guess I could live with this....

"Fine, but you can't bathe me....I need my privacy..."I said....I took my pill and quickly head for the bathroom....I allowed the warm water coming from the shower head soothe my sould as I reminisce on everything that happened this morning... The fainting....the words of grandma telling me to get ready for a future that I don't even want to go into yet....

....

When I got ready..I headed downstairs for the 'late breakfast' as they called it...

"Greetings to the Royal house hold"I said with a slight bow...

"Come sit my child" the kind said and I strut over to the available sit opposite Alex....

"You're Late you wench" Late for a late breakfast? That's just great.....
