Tears didn’t stop flowing. Henderson was hurt and didn’t know that someone he helped would turn against him.
“She is the one who sent me.” She said. “What are you talking about Stella? I don’t know what you are saying.”
“You’re lying. You know. You are the one who sent to kill her. Because you never liked her. You have always h@tëd her..”
“No. No. Stop.” Saanvi yelled. “Shut up Saanvi. I trusted you. I took you in, because you got no place to stay.”
“Yeah. We did a lot of things. I apologised and you told me that everything is fine. And I didn’t stop paying you even though you no longer render any service. I don’t even need them. What did you do?
You tried to kill the woman I love. You tried to kill my unborn child. Saanvi you tried to hurt me. Huh? Do you think doing all these things will make me love you. Do you?” He yelled in tears, he couldn’t that she could do something like this. She kept shaking her head and didn’t know what to say.
“You will be staying here, until when I have decided to execute you and your worker.”
“No. No. Please your majesty. Let explain everything to you. I didn’t want to kill her.”
“Separate them.” Henderson said and walked away. Her pleads and cries. He heard, but he didn’t look back.
Richard was sitting in the dinning room. It’s Saturday. He was waiting for the others to come down for breakfast. Henderson came and smiled at him with a lot of thoughts going through his head. What would he have said to his little boy, that his sister is dead.
“What about Ms Saanvi? She is not here.” Richard said. “She won’t be here.” Henderson replied.
“Com’on eat your food. There’s a lot of beef. I know you like them.” Henderson said, smiling and touched his hair. “Thank you.” Richard said and began eating.

“How did you know?” She asked, Jerry.
“Your majesty. When the party was going on, I noticed something suspicious. She left the party and back. After that time, she left again and this time I followed her, she went to the kitchen after you have retired back to your room. She left the kitchen to your room and you requested for juice. She went to the kitchen to get the juice, she added something to it and then carried it to your room. I was following her, but for some time I thought she saw her, when she looked back. But no. When she came to room and gave you the juice i was already at the door. I walked in the moment you were about to drink from it.” He said.
“Did you see her with someone….someone…” She paused and sighed softly.
“Thank you. For saving our lives.” She said. He nods and looked at the phone on the table, it has been ringing for almost five minutes. But she didn’t know. She is still lost in thoughts and at the same time shock.
“Your majesty. Your phone is ringing.” Jerry said. “Oh..thanks.” She said and collected the phone from him.
“You can leave.” She said and he left. She sighed softly and picked up. “Hello…”
“Hey babe! How are you doing?” Amelia said. “I’m…don’t worry about me. What about you?” Henderson said.
“I’m good.” Amelia replied.
“She confessed.” Henderson said, sadly. “She confessed? Who? Who is she working for? Who sent her?”
“Trust me you don’t wanna know.” Henderson said. “Tell me. I want to know.” She said. “Saanvi.”
“Saanvi? She is working for her.” Amelia stuttered and the image of the past came into her head and she remembered Saanvi’s words, telling her to be care. “Is this what it’s all about?” She thought.
“Babe…are you there?” Henderson asked. “Yeah. Did Saanvi say anything about it?”
“No. Of course she is disappointed that her plans failed. I just can’t believe this.” He said.
“I will call you later.” She said and hang up. She sat on the bed thinking about everything. “Why? Why would you try to kill me Saanvi? Oh goodness I thought all these Sh|t was over.”

Maya came back to Naples as she had promised her. Amelia was happy to see her.
“You wouldn’t have seen me here.” Amelia said to Maya looking all worried and stress out.
“God forbid. Amelia don’t say that.” Maya said, not knowing what had happened. “Someone tried to poison me.”
“What?” She yelled, surprised. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m serious.” Amelia said and sighed softly. Amelia explained everything that happened last night, after they left for Rome and how the guard caught her. “Jesus Christ.. Who is she working for?” She asked, for a moment Amelia was silent.
“Who is it?” Maya asked. “Saanvi..” Amelia dropped the bombshell off and Maya yelled. “Seriously? How could she do such a thing? How could she do such an evil thing?”
“Jesus Christ. I knew nothing good comes out of her. She is just bad and wicked. And evil.”
“Maya..please..” Amelia muttered. “I’m sorry, I just…never liked her. She has always treated badly.”
“That’s what she meant, when she told you to be careful.” Maya added, looking upset. “I think so..”
“I feel like getting her arrested and make sure she pays for everything that she has done. d@mn! And the lady?”
“It was her personal maid.” Amelia said. “What..? She…”
“At first I didn’t notice, but when I took a close look, she looked like someone I know. But i couldn’t figure out where.”
“Nothing good comes out of her. Thank God that you are okay. Have you eaten?” Maya muttered and nodded in answer to her question.
“I can’t even imagine losing you.” Maya said. “I was just thinking about my nephew and I mean, if I had died. He will never step his feet here again. Because he will feel that nothing good comes out of here. It’s all sad memories.” Amelia mumbled and wiped her tears.
Maya spend time with her, she was able to keep her busy with her jokes and other stuff. She left Naples and promised to come back tomorrow.
7PM
Amelia made up her mind and she promised herself that she will take responsibility on this situation, on ground. After having dinner, she called the king.
“I want them brought back to the palace.” She muttered. “What are you talking about Amelia.”
“This is an order. I want to handle this case, besides it happened here in Naples. And I can handle it. I am not asking. I’m telling you.”
“You want to stress yourself.” Henderson said. “It’s not stress.
“It’s taking responsibility of things that I have right to. What if it has happened to someone, somewhere in Naples? Would I call you to come take it, to take care of it?
No. I won’t. I will stand up and take care of it. That’s what I want to do. And that’s what am doing now.” She said.
“The Royal guards will be there first thing tomorrow morning. Hand them over.” She said, boldly.
“Wow. I love this boldness. Queen Amelia Raymond.” Henderson said, smiling. For the first time he is hearing that from her. It’s more like a command and he has to obey.
“Soon you will stop bearing Raymond.” He said. “It’s seven months now.” She said. “I know.”
“Yeah. But I’m still worried about the future.” She said. “You don’t have to worry about it. Everything will be fine. You. Me. Our baby, i mean our children.” He assured. “It’s another lonely night.”
“Are you outside?” He asked. “No.” She replied and inhale and exhale. “Do you want me to come over there?” He asked, she was silent for some time, which got the king worried. “Babe..” He called to know if she’s still there. “Yes..” She replied.
“What’s wrong with you?” He asked. “Nothing. I was busy with something.” She stammers. “Busy with what?” He asked.
“My head. Thoughts, they can’t stop coming. Thinking about a lot of things.” She replied, and tears dropped off her eyes. She covered her mouth to prevent her from crying out, forgetting that her voice could betray her.
“I’m coming there. Don’t tell me not to come.” Henderson said and pick his car key. “It’s fine. I promise am not gonna cry again. It’s just that I can’t stop thinking about what happened.” She said. “What about Ms Mirabel?” He asked. “She…she..” She paused and looked at the door. “Sleeping.” She replied. “Don’t worry am good.”
