₰ Finding Out The Truth₰

Royal Palace

“I… I didn’t agree to be your wife!” Ciara stammered out gently.

“You did, you said we still have a wedding to prepare for ” Reagan replied.

“Well that’s because I…I…felt guilty about what happened to you and…” She was cut off from saying more when he pulled her down on him.

“Reagan” she called as she tried to get off of him but he only tightened his hold around her waist.

“I won’t let go until you give me your word” he said but she resisted and before she knew it, she was flat on her back with his weight pinning her down on the bed.

“You should stop this Reagan! What if someone comes in ?”

“No one dares without my permission” he said in a teasing tone.

“And what if I scream, they are bound to come to my aid” Ciara returned.

“You wouldn’t dare” he said while she gave him a evil grin.

“Help me! Am being…” She was cut off from saying more when his lips captured hers.

Ciara tried to push him off but he deftly manoeuvred it to his favour, he deepened the kiss till she succumb underneath him, returning his kiss.

“Say it, say you will marry me” he said in between kisses and lost by the sensation she felt in his arms, she let out a soft yes.

“There you go. You said it ” he told her grimly as he move away from her.

“I really did” Ciara muttered as she gently touch her lips.

“I don’t enjoy forcing you to get married to me but it’s the only way to get you to agree to being my wife” he said this while starring at her.

Ciara glance at him and the look she saw in his eyes got her sitting up.

“I need to go and you should get some more sleep” she added as she swiftly got off the bed.

“I find it hard to sleep in a room which isn’t mine” he said as she put the covers over him.

“But the palace and everywhere else belongs to you” Ciara countered.

“It does but there are people who doesn’t want it to belong to me” Reagan said, A sad look appearing on his face.

“What do you…”

“Get going, I want to be alone” Reagan said as he turn his back on her.

She would have love to ask him more but not wanting to seem meddlesome, she left the room.

Just as she made a turn, she collided into a maid letting what the maid had in hand to fall.

“Oh! Am sorry” Ciara apologise as she help to pick up some of the things that fell from the tray.

“Is this drug for his Majesty?” She asked as she stared at a small bottle which seemed odd to her.

“It’s not” the maid replied looking very apprehensive.

“Paraquat dichloride,What’s it used for?” The inquisitive Ciara asked but the maid was save from giving a reply when three guards approached them.

“There’s been a report about an intruder and we’ve been assigned to keep you save, if you will come with us, we will escort you safely to your room” one of the guards said and not having a choice, Ciara followed them back to the room she had been in with Reagan.

“If you need anything, we will be outside” the guards said before leaving her alone.

Ciara let out a shaky sigh as she sat on the luxurious sofa.

She was wondering who the intruder might be when she heard someone say.

“At long last, I found you” The girl who had jump over the fence let out in relief.

“Laura! ” Ciara called as she quickly went to give her a hug.

“When did you arrive?” Ciara asked feeling overjoyed at seeing her cousin.

“Yesterday and I went straight to your house only to be told of the crazy things happening. I mean, you were going to marry Francis!” Laura let out in anger.

“It’s a long story” Ciara said having a depressed look on her face.

“A story am ready to listen to, start spilling it” Laura ordered which got Ciara doing.

Being one of the best in the security industry, Laura have always been someone who takes charge of everything and everyone and that’s why she’s here.

Laura knew that she would never have agree to marry another man right after the fiasco with Francis, if anyone knew her well, it’s definitely Laura.

“Francis is a low life and your parents, pardon me are the worst and the king or whatever he calls himself is a dirty pig for doing this to you just because you tried to steal from him !” Laura said as she hit the sofa in anger.

“Shhh…we don’t want the guards to hear you”

“Am busting you out of here, it’s the only reason why I sneaked into the palace in the first place” Laura told her grimly.

“So you are the intruder who they are looking for?”

“If it hadn’t been for that nerdy kid who saw me jumping over the wall then, I would have left without them ever knowing ”

“I need to let them know that you are not an intruder and that you…”

“If you do that then it will be hard for us to leave this place. You do want to leave right?” Laura asked while Ciara stood still starring at her.

“Ciara?” Laura called which snap her out of her reverie.

“It’s not that I don’t want to leave” Ciara began as she walk towards the table to pour herself a glass of water. ” I want to leave too but then…oh no!” She let out as the water pour down the table.

Her attempt to clean it got some papers scattering on the floor.

Moving towards it, she was about to put it in order when she noticed something odd amongst the file.

Picking it up, she went through it’s content and what she saw there got her fuming in rage.

“What’s wrong ?” Laura asked as she finish retrieving the rest of the papers.

“He’s a lying bastard! Stay right here, I will be back soon” Ciara said to Laura before running out of the room.

Hurriedly, she made her way to the room Reagan was while the guards accompanied her.

“Can you tell me what the hell this is !” She demanded even as she threw the papers on his bed.

Picking them up one by one, he scrutinize the whole thing in silence.

“Have you been going through my things?” He asked.

“I happen to come across it by mistake and am glad I did cause you have a lot of explaining to do, Reagan!” She let gruffly.

“There’s nothing to say about this” he said pushing the papers aside but she picked them.

“There is a lot to tell about this. How come you have a picture of me from a year ago when we hadn’t even met and this…this picture is the lady I saw with Francis, the one he chose over me. How come you have it with you?” She asked in a strident tone.

“What’s there to tell exactly? That I saw you a year ago and decided then and there that you will be my wife?” He yelled at her.

“So you are saying that….”

“Yes. Everything was planned by me. Just like always, I was being pressured by the counsel to bring back home a wife and then I saw you while attending a important meeting in swiss hotel ”

“I knew then and there that you are the perfect bride for me and I would have approached you back then but the only thing in my way was Francis ” he added mildly.

“And so to get him out of the way. I sent my secretary to seduce him which she succeeded In doing a few months ago. I was quietly waiting for him to end your engagement but then I found out about your wedding and you know the rest yourself” he finished slowly.

“Francis falling for someone else and ending the wedding is all your doing? ” Ciara asked feeling hurt by this revelation.

“Not everything. If Francis had truly loved you, he wouldn’t have been swayed by another woman ” Reagan countered.

“And do you love me? You claimed that when you saw me a year ago, you’ve wanted me to be your wife. Do you love me?” Ciara queried.

“Love isn’t my thing, Ciara. All I know is that I want you and you will make a perfect queen for me and….”

“Shut up you bloody liar!” Ciara yelled at him, tears glistening her eyes.

“Don’t get worked up over this since it’s all in the past!”

“You ruined everything I believed in and you calmly say that it’s all in the past? How cruel can you be?” She asked.

“Ciara I…”

“I hate you, Reagan. I hate you so much!” She said tautly before leaving the room.

“Laura!” The crying Ciara called as soon as she got into her room.

“What happen? Why are you crying?”

“Get me out of here, help me leave” she said in tears while Laura gave her a hug.

“I will just as soon as its night time ” Laura whispered into her ear.

****
Night Time

After getting rid of the guards just like Laura told her too. They both left her room making sure they stayed out of people’s sight.

“Are you really sure we can make it out this way?” Ciara asked doubtfully.

“Before coming here, I made sure I studied the palace. So,stop worrying and follow my lead” Laura told her as they went through a hall which led them out of the house.

“The only way we can get out of this imprisoned walls is by using the garden, I just hope the guards aren’t there” Laura said.

“And what if they are there?”

“I will have to beat some sense into them,common!” Laura urge but something got Ciara pausing.

She turned to stare at the mansion wondering why she felt guilty when she should feel the complete opposite after what she found out about Reagan.

She shook her head and was about to leave when she saw the maid from earlier.

She had a tray in her hand and judging by the stairs she took, she must be heading to Reagan’s room.

“Hey, Let’s go ” Laura whispered as she came back to her.

“Do you know what a paraquat dichloride is ?”

“Of course. Just a sip of it will end us six feet under, it’s a poison commonly used to get rid of people you don’t want around. Why do you ask? Do you intend to….where are you running off to!” Laura yelled when Ciara ran back towards the mansion.

She hurriedly took the stairs which led to Reagan’s room and barge in not caring if people were there.

Reagan had the cup to his lips while the maid stood by his side along with Willow.

“Don’t drink it!” Ciara said as ran towards him to hit the cup out of his hands startling everyone.

“What’s wrong?” Reagan asked looking bewildered.

“Tell me you didn’t have a sip of that? Tell me!” She yelled.

“Ugh… I think a little” Reagan said and immediately she bent his head over his knees, hitting his back while yelling for him spill out what he drank….
