Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 132

“I don’t know anything about my mother. Could you tell me what she was like? Did she have family? Do I have more family in the elf kingdom?”

“I see you already know what we are.”

“Alessandro mentioned it to me a few days ago, and since then, I can’t stop thinking about what

she was like before she married my father.”

Ethan frowned when she mentioned her father; it seemed he hated him too. But he answered her

question with some sadness.

“Your mother is a sweet, gentle, compassionate, cheerful, and brave woman.A truly wonderful

person.”

Abril realized that when Ethan spoke of her mother, his eyes shone with great emotion. She recognized that emotion. It was love. She asked him.

“Did you love my mother?”

“Yes, and I still do. For me, she’ll always be the one.

Ethan approached Abril and stroked her hair; she looked exactly like Sophia, except for her hair. Sophia’s was blonde and straight, while Abril’s was auburn and curly, which is why when he had seen her in that town with blonde hair, he had confused them.

“You really are her daughter.”

“Excuse me.”

“You’re her spitting image; if your hair were blonde, I’d say you were her.”

“It actually makes me happy to know I look like my mother and not my father, although I did inherit my hair color from him.”

When Abril mentioned her father, the soft and sweet expression disappeared from Ethan’s face, replaced by one filled with hatred and resentment; Abril stepped back, moving away from Ethan, as there was something about him that scared her

Cassian had gone for a walk in the garden when he saw Abril with Ethan from a distance. He hurried over to where they were, worried Ethan might harm her. When he arrived, he saw Abril stepping back, looking a bit frightened.

“Stay away from her.”

Ethan stepped back a few steps, raised his hands in the air, and said,

“I haven’t done anything to her, we were just talking.

Cassian stepped between them, shielding Abril with his body, and said,

“You are not allowed to be here.”

“I’m not allowed? Am I a prisoner?”

Ethan laughed sarcastically, saying,

“Don’t forget that I’m an ally, you have no authority over me, I’ll go where I want.”

“This is not your home, you can’t do whatever you want.”

Ethan began to walk away and said,

“You should treat your allies better, lest they become enemies.”

When Ethan had walked a certain distance away from them, Cassian asked Abril,

“How are you? Did he do anything to you?”

Abril shook her head and replied,

“We were just talking.”

“About what?”

“About my mother, they were friends, so I asked him what she was like. I never knew her, so I was curious.”

“But a moment ago, you seemed scared.”

“I mentioned my father, his expression changed completely, it scared me a rude, so you shouldn’t be rude to him either.”

“I don’t like him, I can’t be nice to someone I don’t like.”

“Why don’t you like him? He seemed very nice to me.”

“Because of his obsession with you, it’s strange.”

“Actually, I understand him perfectly, he told me he loves my mother, that even if she’s dead, she will be the only one for him; I look a lot like my mother, I think when he sees me, he longs for her.”

“Even so, you shouldn’t get too close to him, and above all, don’t mention to Alessandro that you’ve talked to him, my brother is very jealous, he’ll be furious if he finds out you were talking alone.”

“Okay, I won’t say anything.”

Abril realized that since they had returned from the trip, they barely saw each other during meals

as everyone seemed very busy, so she said,

“It’s been a long time since we went for a walk, do you want to walk with me?”

“Of course.”

While they were walking, Abril asked,

“Has Maya not returned yet?”

“No, and to be honest, I’m starting to worry, she said she’d be back in three days, but it’s been a

week, and she still hasn’t returned.”

“Maybe she had some inconvenience, I’m sure she’ll be back soon.”

“I hope so.”

Abril had seen that Maya and Cassian were very close, and above all, she had heard the servants talking about them, saying they were more than friends since they slept together. She couldn’t hide her curiosity any longer and asked,

“Are you in love with Maya?”

The question surprised Cassian a lot, he couldn’t hide it from showing on his face.

“Why do you ask that?”

“It’s just that the servants have been talking a lot about you two, they say it’s most likely she’ll become your wife.”

Cassian felt a bit uncomfortable talking about this topic with Abril since she had been his first love and he still had feelings for her, but she looked at him expectantly, so he just answered without giving many details,

“That won’t happen.”

“Why not?”

“She said she can’t get married, she hasn’t told me the reason.”

“Does that mean you asked her?”

He didn’t respond, but it wasn’t necessary. Cassian was like an open book, all his answers appeared on his face, Abril laughed and said to him

“Your face says you did ask her, although it seems she rejected you.”

“That’s right, I’ve been rejected, so let’s not talk about it, I feel like a dagger is stabbing my heart when someone else says it.”

“Alright, I won’t mention your rejection again.”

“You say you will, but you keep bringing it up.”

“I’m sorry, sometimes I’m a bit slow on the uptake.”

“A bit? Sometimes way too much.”

They both chuckled softly, like people who are just happy to be together. Abril said to him.

“It’s been ages since we last hung out.”

“True, I think we haven’t really caught up since we got back.”

“That’s right. Alessandro told me you’re leaving the palace after the naming ceremony. You’re my

first friend, and I’ll miss you.”

“I’ll miss you too.”

“It’ll be so lonely here without you.”

Seeing Abril’s sad expression, Cassian said.

“Come on, there’s a place I want to show you.”

Abril followed him to a small garden hidden behind some bushes, yet it was well cared for. Cassian

said to her.

“This is one of my favorite places. I used to come here to think when I was little or when I felt

lonely.”

“When you felt lonely?”

“Yes, I know it seems contradictory, but that’s how it is. My mother showed me this place once when we were playing hide and seek with Alessandro. I remember us hiding here for hours, laughing at how long it would take Lessan to find us. It’s one of my best memor when I come here, strangely enough, I don’t feel alone. Sometimes I feel lik mother’s laughter.”

Abril had no memories with her mother, in fact, she didn’t have a single good memory from when

she was a child. She said to him.

“I wish I had a memory like that. I think I wouldn’t have felt so alone if I did.”

“But you’re not alone now. You have my brother, and even from afar, there are people who care

about you.”

“I know.”

When the sun had completely set, Cassian said to her, “I think it would be better if we head back. If Alessandro gets to the dining room before us, he’ll start wondering where you are.”

“Can I come here whenever I need to think or feel a bit lonely?”

“Of course, you can come whenever you wish.”

Abril and Cassian were heading to the palace when one of the servants h

“Prince Cassian.”

“What’s the matter? Why do you look so agitated?”

“You told me to inform you when Miss Maya returns.”

“Is she here?”

“Yes, she just arrived a moment ago.”

“Is she alright?”

“Yes, she seemed fine.”

Cassian felt relieved to know that Maya had been fine; he had been very worried since she had taken longer than she had said. Abril placed her hand on his shoulder and said, “See, you had nothing to worry about, she’s fine.”

“Yes, you were right.”

“You must be eager to see her.”

“That’s not the case.”

“It seems like it is, so why not go see her?”

“I’ll accompany you to the dining room.”

“You don’t have to, I know the way.”

“Accompany her,” Cassian ordered the servant, then said goodbye to Ab She was in her room, and he entered without knocking and found her undressed.

Cassian stared at her, and she covered herself with a robe and said, “You should knock before entering, though I don’t mind you seeing me like this.”

“You took a long time, you said you’d be back in three days.”

Maya took a few steps forward, closing the distance between them, and said, “Did you miss me that badly?”

“I’m sorry, I had some things to do before returning

“Things.”

“About the story of the keys of Hades, were you able to find out where the first key is?”

“Well, the story doesn’t really make much sense. I’ll tell you later, now I want to take a bath, will you

allow me?”

“Yes, of course.”

Maya walked towards the bathroom and said, “You can wait until I’m done bathing, or if you want, you can join me, I wouldn’t mind if you did.”

Cassian was tempted to join her, but he refused, not wanting to be led by his passions. “I’ll wait

here.”

“I might take a while, are you sure you don’t want to join me?”

“I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait here.”

“I’ll leave the door open in case you want to come.”

Cassian stood waiting for Maya to come out of the bathroom, although it wasn’t that long, the short time he waited felt eternal to him. When she came out, her hair was wet, and as she walked towards him, she looked incredibly alluring to him. He swallowed hard; he knew this wasn’t the time to be led by his passions, by his desires that urged him to want to touch her.

Maya could see desire in Cassian’s eyes; it was like he was looking at a delicious dessert. She moved a little closer, in fact, she desired him too, she wanted to feel his hands running over her body, his moist lips against hers, she wanted to feel the warmth of his body and lose her mind while he made her his.

He extended his hand in her direction; Maya had her hair down and he took a strand and tucked it behind her ear, in a terribly tender caress.

Her moist lips seemed tempting, he wanted to taste them.

“I need to know,” he said. “I need to know if I can kiss you and everything will be okay.”

Maya was speechless; she nodded and he had buried his hands in her wet hair and said, “Your hair

“I don’t get sick that easily, but would you like to do it for me?”
