In a bright room illuminated by the beautiful chandeliers and bulbs, two ladies in their pyjamas were seen talking with their voices raised.

The older lady said something the other lady didn't accept and she reacted by jerking to her feet.

"Mum, how could you tell me to resort to drugging the King if seducing him doesn't work when you know clearly that Rafael is my mate and I love him...,"

"What is love, stupid girl? Can it put food on your table, buy designer and limited edition clothes and other accessories for you or can it give you the power and influence you need to survive in this harsh world?" Adhara asked, her voice rising more than previously.

She waited for her daughter to say something but Laura couldn't say anything.

"See, you can't say anything because you know that love cannot give you a luxurious life but instead will make you live a wretched life".

She shifted closer to Laura, lifted Laura's right hand and placed it in her palms. She caressed Laura's hands affectionately.

"Can you stand living a wretched life, a life of misery? Will you be able to stand being looked down on by your age mate? Are you ready to live a filthy life like that of your dead step sister...,"

"Never," Laura said with a disgusted look.

"How could you ever wish me such a bad thing...,"

"I know you hate that kind of life but if you don't want to live with your head lowered for the rest of your life then do as I said and get closer to the King now that he hasn't taken in any wife...,"

"Mum, Rafael's family are not poor. Although their wealth cannot be compared to the Noels or us they are still considered among the top ten richest families in the kingdom," Laura said with a smile as she tried to make her mother understand her point of view.

"Why are you opting for the last when you can be the number one. Being the Queen will give you not only wealth but immense power. After the King, you will be the next in line...,"

"Mum, why is it that you are not understanding what I am trying to say? Rafael is my mate. Our mate bond has grown stronger after we mated. I can't just do away with him just because he is not the King," Laura said seriously.

[Why does it look like she has grown wiser after I left. Although she has grown wiser too bad Adhara won't get what she wants since I am back]

Joanna watching them from where she hid smiled.

"Besides, one cannot do away with his or her mate's life that. One mate is supposed to last for a lifetime...,"

"Your father wasn't my mate but aren't we married with kids now?" Adhara shouted as she threw Laura's hand away in anger.

"Just to be in this household I killed my mate. If you don't get your act together then I will be forced to put an end to your madness with his death," Adhara was so angry to the point that she let out the secret she has been hiding for so long.

Laura's body weakened at the sudden revelation.

She weakly stood up from where she sat. She stared at the fuming woman in front of her.

She had always known that her mother was not a nice person but never had she thought that she would go as far as killing her mate, the one who should be her other half.

"You killed your mate?" Laura asked as she stared at her mother's face.

At first, Adhara was surprised when she realised what she had said but when she recalled that it was only the two of them around, she decided not to keep the secret to herself anymore.

Even though not for anything but to give her lovestruck daughter a wake-up call.

"Yes, I killed him, so what?" Adhara replied with pride. She sat down on the couch with her legs crossed.

[I have always known her to be a cruel woman and today she has further proved that she has no heart]

Joanna glared at the woman who had no sense of guilt as she went ahead to narrate the story of her life to her daughter.

Joanna listened keenly to the mother and daughter conversation. Had Adhara known that they had unwanted guests, maybe she wouldn't have divulged too many secrets.

"How dare he try to force me to live a wretched life with him just because we share a bond?" Adhara said at the end of her narration.

"Mum!" Laura shouted. She couldn't recognise the woman sitting beside her to be the same woman who has been doting on her ever since she was a child.

Adhara stood up and squatted in front of Laura. She held Laura's hands lying on her lap.

"And this is why you have got to do like I said. The King is the best option any woman can ever choose for a partner. Only a crazy person will be asked to choose between gold and wood and he will choose wood," Adhara said.

Who could resist the temptation of being always referred to as the Queen Mother? None can blame her for the way she acts.

"It looks like we were created to forever snatch things from that Miserable Lucinda. First I stole her mate and not long you are gonna be the one married to King Kayden Greyson...,"

The flower vase lying on the table suddenly falls off causing Adhara and Laura to jump to their feet in fear.

They looked away to see what must have caused the flower vase to suddenly fall but they couldn't find anything.

The windows and doors were tightly closed so the cold wind outside caused by the heavy rain couldn't enter the house.

"What just happened?" Laura asked as she looked around to see whether someone else was around.

The angry Joanna hiding in the corner slowly retracted her outstretched hand facing the place the vase lay earlier. But her shimmering blue eyes didn't disappear.

[You might have driven my mother to death and also tried to do the same to me but history will never repeat itself. I didn't go through those tortuous six months in that hellhole just because I was dying to return and say hello to you. I came back for revenge and guess what...]

Joanna grinned evilly. Immediately there was a power outage in the room. And it was at this time the thunder decided to roar louder.

Suddenly the windows including all the doors flew open.

"My revenge starts now," Joanna muttered, her smile growing darker as the cold wind rushed into the house.
