“This is all your fault. Is all your fault why my son got a taste of Cheng’s wrath, why on earth did you try to frame Tatiana!!” Queen Vanya yells at Supriya.
Everyone in the palace got to know that it was Supriya and Harlow who tried to poison Narmada. Is being five days now, and Cheng hasn’t release them from the pains he inflicted on them.
Thiago was just laying on the bed unable to move. He can’t blink his eyes, neither was he able to raise his hands, he couldn’t talk because his tongue were seized.
As for both Harlow and Supriya, they were still feeling so much pains in their body systems. Harlow was banned from entering the palace, and has lost her right of being a part of the royal family.
Since Supriya was a princess from another kingdom, nothing much was done to her.
“If I had known Tatiana is Cheng’s bride, I won’t have involved myself in Harlow’s plan” Supriya said crying, her whole body system was on fire, and her body has not stopped swelling.
The king enters Thiago’s room and Queen Anjali looks at him.
“Won’t you talk to that demonic son of yours and tell him to release my son from this predicament” She said.
“If you want your son to be back to himself, go talk to Cheng yourself”.
“And why should I be the one talking to him, when he is your son?” Queen Anjali asked.
“You want your son back to his normal self, right? So go to his cottage and talked to him yourself” King Osvaldo said.
“I can’t do that. He is going to turn me into a rat or a parrot” She said with so much trepidation in her eyes.
“I can’t talk to Cheng either. He h@tës me for abandoning him to his fate ten years ago, so we will just have to wait for his anger to subside, and when he makes up his mind to release them from the pains he inflicted on them” King Osvaldo said.
“But I’m in pain, your majesty” Supriya said crying.
“Then you should have reconsider your actions before doing them. You should thank your stars that you’re a princess and also Thiago’s betrothed, if not, I would have exiled you from Maelstrom” The King said and leaves the room and he met Queen Vanya on his way back to his chamber.
“How is Thiago and Supriya doing?” She asked.
“Still the same. Where is Waylon? I haven’t seen him for some days now” King Osvaldo asked.
“I don’t know either” Queen Vanya said with a worried face.

⟨ NIGHT ≈ BROTHEL HOUSE ⟩
The brothel house were filled with so many drunk men, laughing and watching some courtesans dancing to the beating of the Banhu and Qin being played.
Waylon sits in a corner, pouring some liquor in his cup, and gulping it down to his throat, he has tears all over his eyes.
The scene about Cheng kissing Tatiana hasn’t stopped playing in his head. He was not the type to go to a brothel, but he just wants to forget his pains by drinking, since he can’t do that in the palace.
He was still drinking alone, when one of the courtesan working in the brothel house sits beside him, with her hand on his shoulder.
“Do you mind if I pour a drink for you?” She asked.
Waylon looks at her, and jerks her hand off.
“I can do it” He said.
“You have been here for five days now and you haven’t sent for a courtesan, don’t you want one?” She asked.
“I’m not here to get entertained, I’m here to clear my head off from something” Waylon said.
“Since you are not here for entertainment, then are you suffering from a heartbreak?” She asked.
Waylon only looks at her and continues drinking.
“Rather than sulking yourself in pains and tears, why don’t you fight for what you feel for her?”
“There is nothing to fight for, even if she doesn’t say it, I know she loves him so much. I regret forcing her to come with me” Waylon said and drank his cup of liquor.
“So what do you want to do now, give up on the woman you love?” She asked.
“That’s the right thing to do, I’m not a troublesome person” Waylon said, and she smiles
“It really showing in you that you are a nice man. I wish I can leave this brothel for good and find a gentleman like you”.
“What your name?” Waylon asked looking at her.
“Amica”
✨✨✨✨✨✨
⟨ SAME NIGHT ≈ COTTAGE ⟩
Tatiana smiles as Cheng feeds her, she was sitting in his lap, as he feeds her some meat.
“Do you think Waylon will be all right?” She asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t care about him” Cheng said feeding her.
“Do you h@të him?” Tatiana asked.
“I don’t Tiana. But I won’t hesitate to harm him if he tries to take you from me” Cheng said and Tatiana smiles.
“No one is taking me away from you, I’m all yours. I’m the demon’s bride remember” She said and Cheng smiles, and resumes feeding her.
“I think is high time you release them from the pains you cursed on them” Tatiana said.
“I’m not yet ready to forgive them for what they did to you” Cheng said.
“But I’m okay now”
“Let them suffer for extra two days”.
“Cheng… please for my sake, release them from the pains you inflicted on them”.
“And what will I get in a return?”
“A kiss”
“Really?” He asked with a one side smile and Tatiana nodded her head.
Cheng closed his eyes and after some minutes, he opened it.
“All done. Can I have my kiss?” He asked smiling.
Tatiana giggles and kiss him. She broke the kiss some minutes later, and stood up from Cheng’s lap.
“Where are you going?” He asked holding her hand.
“Getting some sleep” Tatiana said, and Cheng pulled her back and made her sit on his lap.
“One more” He said and interlock his lips on hers, with his hands pressing her B@@bs.
“Ouch… Cheng” Tatiana Mõ@ns inside his mouth.
