Chapter 38 - Chambers of Silence
Zack
Zara had somehow managed to put me on a smiling face in spite of whatever was happening. Looking at her sleeping, there was a protective instinct that possessed me.
I had awoken before her at 7am on the dot. I wore my morning garments with the aim of checking on my father.
After what the doctor had revealed days back, this had been my regular morning habit as I was so scared of loosing him. Myself, Fernánda, Ricardo and my mum always showed up at his room to pay our respects.
We decided to do this till we found the answer to our problems. We set out a royal announcement that whoever healed the king, would take a very big reward. Our intentions were straight forward—heal the king, who we didn’t want to die, in spite of all the wrongs he had done.
No one considered the numerous affairs, bad father hood or illegitimate children he had outside. All just wanted their king to survive.

Zara It was by the time I had gotten out of my room, I got to hear the tragedy that had befallen the kingdom of Spain. They had just lost their king who was Zack’s dad. I felt so sorry, especially for Zack. He had just lost his dad!God, I was such a fool. I should have listened to him when he told me to talk about what I wanted to talk about later. Instead, I did what stupid people did, spilling out my feelings at him.Hence, I was rejected. I looked for Zack but he was nowhere to be found. I searched around the palace but saw no trace of him. I sought after him in every nook and cranny but still couldn’t find him.Everyone in the palace wore a sad face. No one was happy with what had happened. I had even tried to offer my condolences to Fernánda but she told me she didn’t need my pity.I went to Zack’s mother’s room to console her but she didn’t say a word. She still appeared shocked from whatever had happened. I o

ZackI cursed.Tossed.I had sleepless nights after my father’s death. I had been first to show up for the burial. I bade him and immediately vanished into the thin air to find out what really happened. The cops had came over. I wanted them to specially come for the interrogation.Here was the sergeant now, walking to me with the investigator. I had brought them specially to the secret room since everyone was downstairs.“My prince, good day, my condolences,” he said, with his accomplice.“Yes, sergeant. Tell me, what is the latest news?” I asked, with a purpose to find what really happened.“From our interrogations and the tests done on your father’s body, we discovered that it was a slow poison which he had in taken that had killed him,”“Yes, the doctor had said exactly that,” I responded.“No, that’s not the main fact.

Zara So long did days drift by as Zack drifted further. After that day of my confession, he rarely slept in the room. When he did, he totally ignored me and I didn’t summon courage to step up and talk to him.Events were coming up in the palace. Fernánda was going to marry Alejandro and I pitied him. Because, that wasn’t the woman he loved. The coronation ceremony for myself and Zack as the new King and Queen was also coming.I had always looked forward to this moment. As a Queen, I could change some petty rules this place held. I wasn’t going to impose bowing to a royal or arranging a marriage for a girl because I’ve had my fair test of that.Arranged marriages didn’t work out. The sooner they realized the better. Here was I now, in the basin, brushing my teeth. Lately, I've been feeling sick and nauseous. I got unusually weak from doing works I usually had stamina for. Which was strange and unusual.I had to

Zara “I hereby pronounce you King and Queen Moretti of this royal palace of Spain,” The king maker had said.I could only look and wonder how it was I had came to be at this exact place where I was. Wasn’t it just yesterday when I came as a princess from her home at England? Somehow, I ended up being the Queen of Spain…Zack was by my side throughout the coronation. During the ceremony, I had intertwined my hands in his. I expected him to let my hands loose but he just let it longer there.It was a sensational feeling as I really missed his touch. I wished we could make love like we did before but that looked impossible right now. He didn’t even sleep in the room again and for some reason, he detested me.Did he have a secret lover?Perhaps, she warmed his bed and made him happy?Was that why he left me alone? These were the questions I asked myself.His face held a look of displeasure but he gave o

ZaraMy head froze at a spot.What just happened?Was this a dream?How could I be pregnant?“I am?” I said, wriggling my brows in confusion. I hadn’t gone to bed with any mal—Gosh, it was Zack. My head instantly remembered. That night of our intense love making had resulted into a child nobody planned for.“Yes, your highness. This is a great news you have to share with his majesty.” She said, closing her box of equipment. I watched as she gave me doses to take.“Now, you should know this is a really delicate stage for the fetus. Therefore, you should avoid any toxic product that could cause harm to your child…” The doctor trailed out. I watched as she said everything.My body wasn’t just settled.I hadn’t planned for any of this. I made a promise to bring my child to loving parents but right now wasn’t any of those things.The doctor went saying she had a really important appointme

Zara Merely by saying that, my heart flew a million folds to moon and back. It meant he would support me genuinely through every step, that he would stop ignoring me like he has done in the past few days.“It’s ok,” I replied him. He walked me back to the room, holding my hands and guiding each step I took.“I could walk you know. I’m pregnant not sick,” I let out sarcastically. He chuckled and released his grip on me. But, he still held me lightly. Zack walked me to the bed. I sat down comfortably watching him.I was still trying to fight the dizziness that swept over me but it won’t go for some reason. I felt like eating what I hated most….Fish.Which was weird.“Go to sleep, Zara. You need to rest for the baby,” he said, guiding my body to hit the pillow. He set the duvet on me as I willingly

Zara I was on a mission outside the walls of the palace. It was all a secret purpose to acquire a something very important to me. Maryann was to escort me. It all amounted to going out unnoticed and coming back in unnoticed. We had managed to get out with the help of Alejandro, the head guard who made us make use of a secret passageway only few people in the palace knew. He had told me that the reason why he had shown me it was because I was the Queen.Guess that came with some advantages.Maryann didn’t even know what I wanted to get. I never told her. The only thing I had said was that she should take me to a herb seller. That only he would know the exact thing I wanted to acquire.I drove both of us down there. I paid the Royal guard to keep his mouth shut if anyone asked of our whereabouts.The drive was a bit long. We both came down as I surveyed the land. We had disguised by putting on hoodie
