Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 14

14 | don't want to be a prisoner Alessandro went to visit Abril at the small house where she lived.

When he arrived, he saw her working very animatedly in the garden.

Her clothes were full of mud as were her hands.

She looked like a beggar, however, she had a big smile on her lips as she planted splants.

Alessandro stared at her for a few minutes before speaking to her.

_Princess, until when will you stop crawling through the mud? April turned her face when she heard his voice,

she didn't like dealing with Alessandro, somehow she could feel how much he hated her when he saw her, that

scared her, she didn't know when he would get upset and decide to kill her.

_Your majesty.

Alessandro ca little closer, his gaze was filled with hatred and anger that day, she wondered why he was so

upset, instinctively April stepped back, falling on her butt.

_ What do you think you're doing? Get up.

April stood up, hid her hands behind her back and asked fearfully.

_ What are your majesty doing here? _| cto ask you something? _What thing? _ What kind of magic do you

possess? _| do not possess magic, your majesty.

Alessandro becangry, normally all members of the royal family were born possessing magic, it was

impossible for her not to possess any kind of magic.

_ Are you making fun of me? April could see how Alessandro's frown beceven more pronounced, he looked

truly upset, she was scared and stepped back.

_I wouldn't dare do such a thing, your majesty.

At least not to her face, April thought as she moved her hands nervously.

_lt doesn't matter, tomorrow we will go to the temple and | will find out.

April thought Alessandro was going to leave, however, he stared at her from head to toe and said.

_You must return to the palace, you will no longer continue playing in this place.

_No, why? If | have done something to upset your majesty, | apologize.

April knelt down and began to cry as she said.

_Please your majesty, do not forceto return to the palace, anything but that, | will do what you want, but do

not forceto return.

_Get up, until now I have allowed you to do whatever you want, but that is over, you must take your place in the

royal palace, even if | do not like the idea, you are my wife and you must givea son, after that you can do

whatever you want with your life.

_Ason! Yes, so get up, I'm not going to continue arguing.

Alessandro began to walk away, Abril called him and said.

_Your Majesty, please wait a moment.

_I said I'm not going to argue any further.

_Please your majesty, letstay here a little longer, at least during the day, at night | will return to the palace.

_No.

Alessandro said as he set off again.

April couldn't stand the idea of becoming a prisoner again, after having a glimmer of freedom, she felt like she

would die if she were to be a prisoner again, she used her last card since the pleas hadn't worked.

_Please your majesty, you owe me.

Alessandro stopped, turned around, and looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.

_I saved your life once, if you feel a little grateful, letstay in this place, even if it's just for the day.

Okay, I'll let you cback here during the day but you'll sleep in the palace, but when you get pregnant that

will end, you'll stay in the palace until you give birth, then you can do whatever you want.

_Yeah.

Alessandro left after saying that, Abril stood looking at that place she had called hfor three years, she knew

that it would not last forever but in her heart she had fervently desired it.

She returned to her garden and finished planting the plants she still had to plant, then she returned to the small

house, as it was full of mud, she started heating water and prepared everything to take a bath.

April put a big bucket that she used to wash clothes and to bathe, after bathing she remembered the king's

words.

She had to return to the palace and give him a son to be the heir, as at the beginning the king had made it clear

that he would never touch her.

April thought that this would be like this forever, however that had only been a passing illusion.

That night April could hardly sleep, the next day she woke up tired, while she was looking through her dresses to

wear April wondered what tthey would cto get her.

She took out a simple soft pink dress with white lace decorations, after combing her hair she tied it with a ribbon

and prepared breakfast, April had just finished her breakfast when there was a knock at her door, she hurried to

open it, it was the butler who had cto look for her and he told her.

_Princess, his majesty is waiting for you, please follow me.

April followed the butler, upon reaching the entrance she saw a large black carriage with the emblem of the royal

family, a black dragon with two crossed swords on a shield.

_Princess, get in the carriage, his majesty is inside.

The Butler helped April get into the carriage, seeing that Cassian was also there, she sat next to him since she

was more afraid of Alessandro than him.

Cassian had been feeling pain in his leg, but when they arrived at the temple he was barely in pain.

Alessandro got out of the carriage first, he didn't help Abril get out, she had to get out the best way she could,

however Alessandro did help his brother get out of the carriage.

Abril stepped aside and let them go ahead, she didn't want to be in the king's sights, his terrifying and cold gaze

made her tremble with fear and wonder when he would grab her neck and kill her.

You better try to stay unnoticed, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood.

April thought and walked behind them without making any noise.
