Secrets novel Chapter 7

"No, I came here hoping that you would give me a personal tour of your beautiful palace and if it's okay, and the kingdom too" I answered Softly.

He shocked me when he burst out in laughter, he laughed for a minute then leaned in closer with a smirk.

"Gosh, you have everything I despise in a woman, that's why I can never touch you," he said seriously then moved away and went to the balcony after throwing my veil down.

I stood there not knowing what to do, all I felt was anger and somehow his words hurt, my eyes were filled with tears.

I quickly picked up my veil, wore it, and walked to the door then came out, I rushed downstairs with the ladies behind me, all I wanted was to be left alone.

I went into my room and removed my veil throwing it down then lay on my bed.

My Ladies quickly sat on the bed surrounding me.

"My queen" Bridget whispered.

"Leave me alone, now!" I screamed loudly.

"Everyone please leave the room, Amore how about giving the ladies a tour around the palace, I will remain and stand by the queen's side just in case she needs someone to serve her," Lauren said.

"Okay, Ladies come with me," Amore said as she stood up and they all did, they slowly walked out of the room after covering themselves decently.

"You know you can always talk to me, I'm always there for you," Lauren said softly.

I sat upright and let the tears I held in fall.

"He told me how he despised me, he said that's why he would never touch me, and that stupid concubine was sleeping in his Chamber's very comfortably right after my wedding day" I cried.

"Your highness please calm down" she Answered.

"Why does she get to sleep in his bed and touch him, while I his wife and rightful queen can't!" I asked loudly.

"I don't know why his Majesty is telling you all these bad things and hurting you" she answered sadly.

"I hate him, I hate so much, because of him I feel so worthless, I can't even become the wife I had hoped to be" I sobbed.

She pulled in a hug and rubbed my back with her hand.

"It will be okay" she whispered as I sobbed my pain away.
