Chapter 300 - Three Hundred: The Queen's Tactic's
The third point of view :
Something was wrong.
Judy had known it the moment he felt a dip in his bed, someone was coming near him and whoever that was didn't smell like Emily.
His eyes snapped open only to connect with fierce, determined green ones.
"Fiona?" there was a quizzical look on his face. What was she doing in his room by this ungodly hour of the morning? It wasn't even six yet and what in the world was she wearing?
"What are you doing here?" Judy wondered how she even got into his room. Where were the damn guards? Who gave her access?
"Judy" Fiona breathed, clasping his face and leaning closer to kiss him.
Judy pulled away from her, but the girl was fast enough to push him back to the bed. She tried to straddle him but Judy flipped her over, pinning her hands to the bed.
His eyes hardened while he heaved, "What kind of game is this?! " Judy roared at her face but the girl was unfazed. There was no doubt his mother and Fiona were in cahoots. The woman liked Fiona and lately, she had been making subtle gestures and actions for him to accept her for a wife. There was no way Fiona would have gotten into his room easily without his mother's influence.
"Why are you making a big deal out of this?" She laughed frivolously, trying to get up but he gave her no chance. Fiona was decked in nothing but a revealing pastel pink nightgown. She was so seductively dressed that no man in his right senses would reject her.
But then, Judy had always been a crazy man else he wouldn't have dated Adam's daughter right under his nose. Fiona's wiles were not going to work on him, there was nothing Fiona had Emily had not given him and better. Love? sex? Child? What more could he ask for?
"In case you haven't gotten this into your goddamn brain, Fiona, I have a wonderful woman I love. Whatever ridiculous thought you have, wash it away. I'm taken already, so get the hell out of my room," He hissed threateningly and let go.
At that moment, the doorknob rattled which made Judy turn to the side, someone was coming in - but that was a grave mistake.
The impatient and desperate Fiona took advantage of that moment to strike. She reached out and wrapped her hand around Judy's neck, drawing him close, and pressed her lips against his just as the door was opened.
Judy was disgusted the moment Fiona kissed him, he wasted no time in pushing her away roughly and she hit her head on the headboard, wincing in pain.
But to his greatest fear, he saw Emily at the doorway with a shocked expression; jaw almost dropping to the floor.
Oh no.
He didn't need to guess what Emily was thinking. He would have thought the same if he saw her in such a promising position.
"Emily!" he tried to go after her but someone held onto his arm as Emily fled out of the room.
Judy saw red, "I seriously don't understand you, women. Why are you trying so hard to snatch what doesn't belong to you?" He tried to control the anger coursing through his vein. He had promised never to hit a woman and would stand by it.
"Kai, she's not the one for you," Fiona glanced up at him with tender loving eyes. Why couldn't he see the love she had for him?
"And you're the one?" he scoffed in disbelief.
"Judy, you have no idea how much I would -ahh!"
Judy tossed her over his shoulder without warning, striding out of the room with fury. He had just come into the passway when he bumped into Archie, his personal assistant.
"I heard what happened -" Archie was still speaking when Judy practically tossed the squirming woman to him.
He ordered, "Lock her up in the dungeon until I think of what to do with her,"
"What?!" Fiona's eyes went wide, "You're joking right?" she asked him, but when she got no answer plus Judy's one in a million stoic expression, she instantly understood he was not kidding at all.
"No, you let me go!" She began to strive with Archie but her strength was nothing compared to his.
"And also," Judy added just when he was about to leave, " Lock up the guards posted to watch my room alongside with her - I'm sure they would get along fine in the dungeon since they can't honor my authority,"
Having said that, Judy left to find Emily, ignoring Fiona's cry for pardon. The girl had been pampered her whole life, she would faint from the shock of staying in that dirty and low place called the royal dungeon.
Meanwhile,
Emily felt her heart breaking, she couldn't believe what her eyes just saw. Though she knew this was all a setup by the queen to make her let go of Judy, her heart still hurt.
Thanks to her son Akim, she became an early bird and was just about to go check up on him as usual when a maid rushed in to tell her that Judy needed her presence urgently.
Thinking something bad had happened, she had rushed to find out the problem only to be treated to the scene of Judy and that woman kissing.
She got to know about Fiona last week and from the hostile look the woman gave her, Emily understood at once she had a powerful competitor. Fiona was pompous and tried to throw her weight around but she paid her no attention - she had better problem at hand than to squabble with the immature woman.
"Emily, open up," She heard Judy bang on her door.
"Go away! Just leave me alone! " She shouted, the least she wanted to see now was his face. How could he allow that woman to kiss him?
"Seriously Emily, open the door so we could talk this out," the banging continued.
"There's nothing to talk about, go ahead and enjoy the kiss with her," she declared with no care.
"Emily!" he hissed out.
"Get lost!" She raged.
She was just angry and disappointed.
"Fine, suit yourself," She heard him say and he stopped pounding his fist on the door instantly.
"Wait, just like that," Emily couldn't believe her ears when silence descended. Did he give up on placating her?
That asshole! She should have known he was never serious about her! He just wanted her because she was Akim's mother! If Judy was that sincere about her, he would currently be on his knees, begging and asking for her forgiveness.
But how could he change that easily? The Judy she knew then adored her, he would go to hell and back just to make her happy. What made him change?
Emily was just about to cover herself with her bedsheet and cry out her heart when she heard the jiggling of keys.
Huh?
Wait a minute, her ears picked up the sound clearly this time. Oh no! Emily didn't know where to hide when the door snapped open and Judy walked into the room in all his furious glory.
Emily swallowed, taking huge steps back as he kept approaching her.
"You were saying?" He backed her into the wall, his brow raised cockily.
Emily's breath hung in her throat, she was choked by his alpha masculinity and didn't know what to say until it dawned on her that she shouldn't be intimidated - she should be the one angry!
"You have the nerve to show your face here after kissing -! "
"It was a setup Emily and you yourself know that," He said to her.
Yes, she knew it was a setup. Judy's room was always heavily guarded but when she stumbled upon that scene, it was empty and abandoned - the queen has been trying several ways to separate them. She accepted Emily as Akim's mother but not as a wife to her son.
Yet, Emily didn't want to admit it, she wanted to punish him! He should have been more careful since he knew he was now on a battlefield with the queen.
"You're the only one I love and the only woman I would ever love," Judy declared and tried to clasp her face with his palm but Emily refused to look at him.
"Fine," He let go and began to walk in the direction of her bathroom.
"Hey, where do you think you're going," She called after him but he didn't give her as much as a glance. This gave Emily no option other than to follow him and see what he was up.
"What are you doing with my brush," She tried to snatch it out of his grasp but Judy tactically avoided her, applied a toothpaste, and began to brush his teeth.
Emily stared, astounded.
For five minutes, Judy scrubed his teeth vigorously to the point she had to stop him before he injured himself.
"I've washed away her kiss, are you satisfied now?" Judy asked her, determined to go through another round of brushing if she still wasn't fulfilled.
What kind of man was this? Emily still had a hard time believing what just happened. Suddenly, a smile crossed her face and she drew him close to kiss him fiercely.
"This should do the magic," Emily said when she pulled away for air. There was a look of happiness and contentment in her gaze.
"Let's try again," He eagerly leaned in for another kiss.
Both were lost in the moment, having the time of their life when Emily's phone rang," I need to take this, " she moved away from him.
Judy was discontented but he endured - the call would end soon and they would continue where they stopped, so he thought.
"Hello?" Emily picked up the familiar call, "Oh, you girls have arrived? "
