Her Marriage, Her Revenge novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 The New Woman

I

Realizing that he is as if fantasizing about his wife, King Timodore shook his head, stood up, and walked away from their bed where Queen Asalea was sleeping peacefully. He went to one of their guest rooms and there he rested his fatigued body and mind.

The next day when Queen Asalea woke up; the first thing that she noticed was the empty space beside her. The place is still neat; obviously, her husband did not sleep beside her the whole time. Her heart grew weary. She can tell now that something is wrong. She then took a bath and worn an orange decent dress, which is perfectly fitted to her voluptuous body. She put a blush on, a little make-up and lipstick.

Immediately, after checking that she looks more alluring already, Queen Asalea went to the dining area and there she saw Toremo, Dreckos, and King Timodore with a woman on his left side, whose face is not familiar with her.

“Good morning everyone.” Joyfully she greeted everybody, walked fast, gave a quick kiss to King Timodore’s cheek, and sat on the vacant chair on his right side.

Toremo and Dreckos awkwardly looked at Queen Asalea. Nobody tried to say a single word until the unfamiliar woman glance at Asalea, forced a smile and said, “Hello Queen Asalea, I am Sulie.”

Queen Asalea looked at the woman and while smiling, took her offered hand for a handshake. “Nice meeting you Sulie.”

Dreckos suddenly cleared his throat and asked, “Queen Asalea, what breakfast would you like? I will instruct our Palace Chef to cook it for you.”

“It’s okay Dreckos, I will just have coffee for now. I have no appetite to eat anything.” She glanced at Dreckos and gave him a forced smile.

Dreckos nodded and told the palace maid to bring coffee for the Queen.

King Timodore has been silent. He just sipped his coffee from time to time. He did not even dare to glance at Queen Asalea.

Queen Asalea could feel the coldness of King Timodore towards her. She kept her silence too and sipped her coffee as the maid put it down in front of her.

After a while, King Timodore stood up. “Excuse me, everyone, I just need to check on something in my office. Dreckos follow me and Toremo please bring Sulie to one of our guest rooms.”

Queen Asalea lowered her head. Her husband did not even bother to mention her name nor glanced at her before leaving.

Glancing gloomily at Queen Asalea, Dreckos nodded to her and then followed King Timodore.

Queen Asalea was left at the dining table when Toremo and Sulie excused themselves also.

Trying to control her tears, Queen Asalea stood up and made herself invisible when she saw that no one was around. In her invisible form, Queen Asalea followed Toremo and Sulie. She is quite curious as to whom Sulie is and why is she staying in one of the palace guest rooms.

Walking nearby, she heard Sulie giggled, “Gosh Toremo, I could not wait to make him mine. The King is absolutely a man that would make me go insane.”

Toremo just laughed and patted her shoulder.
