The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 10

Princess Sophia's POV

The deed was done and all that was left was the dance of victory. I walked with poise toward Mrs Scott's room with my maid behind me, hoping to have an important conversation with her.

"You seem so happy today, ma'am." I turned around for a moment and saw the smile on her face. It was good to know that she was happy to see me happy.

"That's because I am. We're always happy when things work in our favour, aren't we?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, ma'am."

We arrived in Mrs Scott's room and knocked on her door. "I'm right here."

She opened up the door and I quickly threw myself at her, holding her so tightly with so much gladness in my heart. "I'm so happy to see you," she said to me.

"Same here," I replied, although I didn't think it needed to be said. The way I held her and refused to let go was proof enough.

"Eh… Could you help me tidy the room? You could help me with my royal blue handbag on your way back here, okay?" I asked my maid, finally letting go of Mrs Scott, albeit reluctantly.

I needed my maid to leave the room. We had crucial matters to discuss that she wasn't supposed to be a part of.

"Yes, ma'am."

As she left, we walked to the centre of the room and she stared hard into my eyes. "I sent a man to get rid of that stupid chef. The man I sent is very trustworthy. He's very good at his job and he made sure that it can never be traced."

"What if he talks in the future?" Mrs Scott asked, a look of fear on her face.

"Then he'll only be implicating himself because he doesn't even know that I was the one who ordered the execution. I went through an anonymous route." Holding her hands, I continued. "There's no need to be afraid. I have everything under control."

She let out a smile of satisfaction and I was so glad to see that. She had been nothing short of supportive of me and I couldn't thank her enough. All thanks to her, I was able to find out what that evil woman was planning against me. I had sworn to eliminate anyone who tried to bring Alex and me down. I would never let anyone come between us; not after everything that I'd don't get to where I was. The stupid chef just had to die. She sounded like a threat to me and I couldn't let her roam freely.

"Thank you so much for all you do for me, Mrs Scott," I thanked her. She was more than my maid. I saw her as a friend. "My love for you knows no bounds and it'll surely be rewarded."

I took out a bundle of money from my bag and offered it to her. But she drew me close instead and hugged me so tightly.

Aurora's POV

As I got to my mom's room, I noticed that there was someone inside so I approached more stealthily. I looked through the peephole in the door and I was left open-mouthed. I couldn't believe what I just saw. Indeed, my heart was shattered.
