Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 32
#CHRISTEN
Thanks to Aunt Jezebel, Riley and I were saved.. Riley’s body was back to it’s former state in no time.. After that, Oliver kept him under the Iroko tree so it would make it easier for his friends and family to find him..
Aunt Jezebel tapped into the minds of Riley’s family and friends making them believe he was kidnapped… After that everything was back to normal..
Every night, I would send Ovarkt to check on Riley to see if he was okay, I would have gone there myself but my body too was messed up and I had used too much magic power so I decided to stay indoors and rest…
Ever since that Incident, Rose and I hadn’t talk to one another.. Rose too had been quiet lately.. She wasn’t as wild as she was before.. In fact for the first time in 300yrs Rose was calm..
I was angry at what she tried to do to me and Riley.. I couldn’t forget her standing over me as she tried to stab that Rod into me.. My Grandma Wuruola had heard about what happened and advised me to forgive Rose but I bluntly refused.. She almost destroyed the man I love and she was willing to add his innocent family members to the equation…
But while I was refusing to forgive Rose.. She was trying to find a way to ask for my forgiveness… So three days after that Incident.. Rose came to my room while I was in bed.. As soon as I saw her, I turned away from her.. She slowly walked in and sat on my bed.. She tried to touch my arm but I shrugged her away….
…
Christen Don’t touch me.. Don’t you dare..
.
Rose Christen.. I know what I did was unforgivable and I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me.. I shouldn’t have did what I did to you..
.
Christen I don’t care about what you do to me.. You tried to kill Riley and for what? Because he’s human.. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me.. He makes me happy and you were trying to take that away from me..
.
Rose. I’m sorry Christen.. I really am.. I was blinded by my rage and want for revenge that I almost lost you.. I regret doing what I did.. Just find a place in your heart and forgive your sister..
.
Believe me I didn’t want to. But I couldn’t ignore her pleads.. And from the way she spoke and looked, I could tell she was sincere and really sorry and it would be cruel not to accept her apology.
.
Christen Okay.. I forgive you but only if you promise not to go after Riley and his family ever again.
..
Rose I promise but if He tries to do anything to hurt you.. Mark my words.. I will kill them all..
.
Christen Okay..
.
Rose and I hugged warmly for a while.. But then our moment of truce was interrupted by Aunt Jezebel…
.
Jezebel I see you ladies have patched things up..
.
Christen Yes we have..
.
Jezebel How are you feeling Christen?
.
Christen Much better.. Can’t wait to pay Riley a visit..
.
Jezebel Well.. Christen.. About Riley.. We need to talk..
.
Christen Okay..
.
Jezebel You need to stop seeing that human permanently..
.
Christen WHAT? WHY?
.
Jezebel Don’t be a fool christen.. You know the law and the reason why you’re not before the council to face trial is because I choose tolerate this.. And you’re my niece.
.
Christen But I love him..
.
Jezebel Shut up… What I said isn’t a request, its an order .. And if you value your life and hope to have a better future.. I’d do as I say.. If you don’t mind.. I’ll be leaving now.
.
As soon as Aunt Jezebel left, Rose followed her as well.. I couldn’t believe what she said.. I cried so hard that day… I couldn’t bear to let go of Riley… If only he’d agree we would have ran away together before things got messy.. But nit it’s too late..
The next day…. I woke up feeling a terrible headache.. After I was done bathing, I left for the school.. As I was on my way.. I began to think about what Aunt Jezebel said.. I knew she was serious about what she said and would make me appear before the council for trial if I tested her patience.
This thing was going to a very uncertain direction I wasn’t feeling uncomfortable with.. So the best thing to do was to.. Let Riley go.. For both our sakes..
As I arrives at the campus.. I was surprised to see Riley. He had this smile on his face as if he was expecting me.. After we exchanged Pleasantries, he told me he was happy to see me and I he missed me.. My heartbeat increased as he said that.. I really wanted us to be together like this but with the way things have turned out.. I’m afraid we can’t continue with our relationship.
I directly told him that we had to break up permanently.. I could see the shock on Riley’s face and I could tell he was sad about this..
.
Christen ……. I’m sorry Riley.. It’s over between us.. We both have to move on with our lives..
..
Riley Christen.. Please don’t say this.. We can fight this… We’ll find a way out of this..
.
Christen I’m sorry.. We can’t..
…
Riley We can.. We can run away like you said.. Please don’t.. I love you.. I just can’t let you go..
…
Christen Didn’t you hear me.. I said it’s Over… I wish there was another way.. Just forget about me.. Pretend like you don’t even know me.. Good bye Riley..
.
I felt hurt on the inside when I said those words to Riley.. Tears was about to drop from my eyes so I quickly turned away so he wouldn’t see my tears.. I walked away leaving Riley standing, heartbroken and shocked at the same time..
