The Dark Valley (Episode 48)

* THE DARK VALLEY *

                    { Chapter 48 }

            "We have to get married to get your throne back ", I suggested to Draphel.

           "What??", he screamed in shock to hear my crazy plan.

          "Yeah that’s the only way we’ve got here ", I answered him by trying to explain.

           ”are you sure about this", he asked.

          "Yes. I have thought about it, actually if we get married then after a week we shall get divorced ", I explained forwarder.

        He just stared at me in amazement. Deep down he wasn’t in support of this plan and I could see it on his face no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

       "When are we getting married ", he asked after being silent for a while.

          "Tomorrow morning ", I announced to him which gave him more shock.

           His jaw dropped in an instant because he never planned to get married like this, unprepared.

    

            The next morning I woke ready for what was going to happen next.

        I know my friends and Troyal might get angry at me for this decision I took but I have no choice since Draphel is also my friend now and I can’t just abandon him in his worst time of life.

          At this moment he needs someone he can confine and rely on.

      I got dressed up for the wedding. I remember Draphel and discussing on how short our wedding will be.

        

         He had promised not to touch me without my permission. He even said we will be going back immediately after the wedding.

        I was a little nervous though, I haven’t informed my friends about this.

         I don’t even know if they would understand my decisions, I just prayed internally for them to forgive me for what I was about to step into.

         I walked down the aisle to see Draphel standing there handsomely dressed.

          I couldn’t stop staring at him because he looked breathtaking in the wedding dress.

          I held my breath as I got to him, my heart was beating fast. I wanted to back out at that moment but it was already late. I had already given my words to Draphel.

        "Breathe out", Draphel said noticing the way I held my breath.

       I finally let go of my breathe after Draphel said that, it was like he held a spare key to control me.

        "Do you King Draphel alophous take Rachel Smith to be your rightful mate in sickness and in health, for better for worst , forever till death do you part ", a demon who seems like a priest spoke to Draphel.

           "I do”, Draphel replies without thinking twice.

             Is this guy crazy, how can he say he does to death do us part. I ain’t staying with him till death.

           I am surely going back to my world. I just have to say I do too to that sentence. Argh, I growled internally.

         "Do you Rachel Smith take King Draphel alophous to be your rightful mate, in sickness and in health, for better for worst, forever until death do you part", the demon said to me.

        "I....I...I.....I do", I finally said after stammering due to his last sentence.

          "I now pronounce you King Draphel alophous and queen Rachel Smith alophous husband and wife. You may now kiss your mate", the demon said.

           "Can we skip the kiss part and just sign the husband and wife title ", Draphel said to the demon.

          I knew he did that because of me. I know he doesn’t want to make things awkward between us.

         I just watched him as he collected a big book from the demon’s hands and signed in it.

        After he signed he handed the book over to me to sign.

          

          Immediately after I signed it seemed to disappear from the book.

           I wanted to screech in fear but Draphel Stopped me.

 

         "Don’t be scared, that’s just how it’s supposed to be. Our signature has been sent to the almighty for recognition as husband and wife ", he tried to calm me down.

          I just nodded speechless due to what I had just saw.

          Finally the wedding was done, we needed withness for our marriage so Draphel made astroid, the rest of the guards and maid our withness.

   

        "Are you ready to go back ", Draphel asked me after talking to astroid secretly for a while.

        "Ummhmm ", I nodded.

       "Astroid, it seems my wife is ready to go. So get all the dark troven prepared to fly back home ", Draphel said but out of all his words the word my wife kept ringing continuously in my head. It made me flushed hard unconsciously in front of everyone.

        "My wife why is your cheeks red like a lobster ", he bent down to face me in the eyes and said.

           "Am not", I lied and tried hiding my face.

            "Come let me carry you ", he dragged me closer to carry my in his arms in a princess style.

       

        I remember when he carried me here, he carried me in a piggyback style but now he wants to carry me in his arms.

       

       "No”, I refused him but he still carried me anyways.

         "I need to carry you this way because one you are now the queen and two I can’t carry you in this way into the palace. I want everyone to notice that you are my wife ", he explained.

        That made sense but still I was a little nervous about going back to the palace and even carried in style into the palace.

       Before I could further protest Draphel had already lifted me and we were already flying in the sky. 

          **************( Patricia’s POV )**************

        I woke up in the morning feeling a little weak remembering all that had happened yesterday night.

         When I looked around my surroundings, I saw I was in Anthony’s room.

         Wait, did I sleep here overnight. My parents might have been worried sick about me.

       I jumped off the bed only to realize that my clothes also got changed.

         As I was about to stand up from the bed, I heard a voice at the corner of the room.

       "How do you feel now ", Anthony Who seems to have been standing at the corner for a while said.

         "Why did you bring me here and are my parents aware of where I am right now ", I answered rudely.

       "I called them last night to tell them you would be sleeping over at my house ", he answered calmly not minding the way I spoke to him.

         "Is your new girlfriend aware of this”, I asked angrily.

         "What do you mean “, he asked confused.

          "Don’t act like you don’t know who I am talking about. The girl at school yesterday ", I spluttered out in anger.

           "She isn’t my girlfriend ", he laughed as he replied me.

         "Then who is she", I asked fiercely.

           "She is my long distance cousin “, he tried to explain to me.

       "Ohhh so now she is your cousin. Can you explain the reason why you told her I was a nobody to you", I asked remembering vividly how he said it.

       "Tricia try to understand that I have a reason for saying that ", he said walking towards me.

      "What is the reason tell me", I asked curiously in anger.

     I was more angry than ever, at that moment all I just wanted was answers.

        "I can’t tell you “, he replied.

      "I knew it, I knew you were lying to me and that innocent girl ", I smirked as tears rolled down my face.

         "My love Please don’t cry", he tried to wiped the tears off my face but I pushed him off.

       "Just tell me “, I screamed.

        "You know I can’t bear to see you in tears and I will not be able to forgive myself if you hate me", he said.

          "Please just tell me", I cried more.

         "I guess it’s time you know everything about me but promise you will not hate me after I explain everything to you ", he said in pain.

        "I will not hate you, please just tell me", I said prepared to hear the worst that could happen.

      

        Anthony was already prepared to tell Patricia that he was a demon and he was actually in the human world based on his mission.

  

       "I am not who you think I am……I am actually a………
