The Master’s Third Wife Episode 42

By: Faith Lucky

Kaylan blinked rapidly as soon as Lord Xander walked away.
He didn’t see anything, did he?

She turned back to look at Asim.

“I really need to go now”.

“Of course. Goodnight”

And she scurried off.

Returning to her room, she thought about Xander. Why was he having such a cold look on when he saw them?

And recalling the look on his face, it made her suddenly have some double thoughts about giving the flowers to him. No; no matter what, she really needed to give the flowers to him.

She got to the room and found Jaden with the ash – just like she’d asked for.

“What took you so long huh? Jaden asked.
“Anyway, I hope this should be enough?”

“Yes. Thank you” Kaylan collected the ash from her and walked over to the table to set to work.
And as she did, Jaden noticed the slight change in her mood.

*********************

King Moreh was sitting comfortably in his room, re-reading the letter sent by Xander. He wouldn’t deny being amused as he wondered what could’ve possibly changed Xander’s mind. Why did he suddenly withdraw his threats and stated in the letter that he was no longer forcing him to sign the petition? Why?

Lord Xander has always been a man of his words – too cruel and changeless and that was the reason King Moreh couldn’t understand why he’d changed this mind all of a sudden.

Well, it was a good thing he finally changed his mind because he wasn’t ready to sign the petition. He didn’t sign it then, and wasn’t ready to sign it at anytime at all.

There was a knock on his door and giving the go ahead, the door opened immediately with the Queen rushing in – Kaylan’s mother.
Oh…

“Your Highness” she bowed with some intensity in her tone.
“Sorry if I’m disturbing your quiet time”

“It’s okay, Hapitha. You can have a seat” the King replied, but Hapitha wasn’t there to to sit.

“Your Highness, my mind can’t be at rest. I’ve heard the news about Lord Xander threatening you with Kaylan’s life and it’s really of great concern to me”.

“Xander has taken back his words” King Moreh cut in calmly.
“He’s withdrawn his threats and made it clear he’s no longer using coercion”.

“I know, but ..” she paused and scoffed.
“That isn’t enough reason to let it go, your Highness. We need to get Kaylan out of there. What if he decides to do this again?”

“He won’t, Hapitha?”

“He won’t? But how can you be so sure? Nobody was expecting this when it happened…”

“This shouldn’t be your concern, Hapitha. Kaylan is fine and I don’t think you should worry about it anymore. She’s better off being married to Xander”. The King said and a glint of anger flashed through Hapitha’s eyes.

“She’s better off being married to someone who can kill her at anytime?” She asked.
“Maybe you’re not even concerned about this because no matter the amount of threat Xander imposes on Kaylan’s life, you’re never going to care or bend in to Xander’s will because you DON’T care about her”.

King Moreh’s eyes dimmed. How dare she raise her voice on the King?

“Of course, how would you care about her when she’s just one out of your many other children, dancing around you? How can I even expect you to care about her?!”

Queen Hapitha could be fearless at some point, and that was where Kaylan had gotten her rascality from.

Tearfully, she turned around and ran out of the room.

**********************
NEXT MORNING
**********************

Kaylan had woken up with a big target in mind – and that was tendering her apology to Lord Xander.

A part of her was telling her not to care about his feelings and just ignore him, but another part kept speaking to her conscience and telling her what she did was wrong and needed an apology.

So, she decided to heed to the second part.

She’d already arranged the flowers the previous night and had them ready for delivery. They were looking so lovely.

“Do you think I should come with you?” Jaden asked from behind as Kaylan stood, admiring the flowers.

“He’s my husband, not OUR husband” Kaylan pointed out, making Jaden laugh.
“I just hope he doesn’t try to act grumpy because I’m definitely going to lose it and smash the entire flowers in his face. I’m trying so hard to be good here”.

“You had better be careful, Kaylan. Don’t do anything to upset him”. Jaden sqid

“Wherever. Wish me luck” Kaylan rolled her eyes and left the room.

She held the flowers carefully as she marched towards Lord Xander’s chambers. And as she did, she kept reciting her apology statement in her mind:

“Oh, Mighty Lord Xander, I’m using this lovely flowers to apologize for what I said yesterday…”

No. That didn’t sound too well to her.

“My dear husband, I want to…”

No! Not husband. He doesn’t even act like a husband.

“You, grumpy man, I hope you can accept these flowers and…”

No; that sounded too rude.
Urgh! What exactly does she say, huh?

Maybe…

“Lord Xander, these flowers are meant to appease you for….”

She suddenly stopped talking when she noticed she’d arrived at Xander’s chambers.
Oops!

It was now or never, Kaylan.

But as usual, there were two guards at the door post and she knew she needed to seek entrance from them.

“Good morning, Princess” they greeted with a bow.

“Oh. Morning to you too. I’m here to…”
Her lips went shut when she saw Xander coming out of the room.

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 41

By: Faith Lucky

The two ladies were in deep shock as soon as the guard delivered the message and left.

Whaaat?? Her restriction has been lifted already?? So soon? What happened??

Kaylan turned to look at Jaden who was already staring at her.

“Hey; what do you think happened? Do you think your father has given into his demands?” Jaden asked curiously.

“Of course, not” Kaylan answered sharply.
“I know my father, Jaden. That man doesn’t care about me one bit. He’s never going to make even the tiniest sacrifice for me. Never”. She huffed and stood up to go face the window.

“So….do you think Xander had a change of heard on his own?” Jaden asked as she stood up as well and went closer to her.
“Do you think…. your words somehow… made him have a change of heart?”

“I don’t know. Is that even possible? Does someone like Xander still have a heart that can be changed?” Kaylan asked, crossing her hands below her chest.

Although, somehow, a voice wouldn’t stop whispering into her ears that her words were really behind it.

She turned from the window to look at Jaden.

“Do you think I should… apologize to him?” She asked, her brows creased.

“What?? Why?” Jaden’s eyes snapped open.

“I don’t know. Maybe to….. apologize to him for what I said. I just have a feeling my words hurt him so much”.

“Well… Apologizing to him is a good idea. But how on earth do you plan on apologizing to someone like Xander?? Do you really have the nerves?” Jaden asked and Kaylan turned around to face the window again.

How can she possibly apologize to him?
Hm. Maybe she had an idea already.

*******************

HOURS LATER
*
*
It was so dark already, with the stars dancing in the sky, all around the moon and giving a beatific touch to the atmosphere.

While Jaden was away, Kaylan could be seen in the garden, picking out some colorful flowers and placing them in a bowl on the floor beside her.

She had great plans for the flowers and was hoping it was really going to go down well.

As she picked and placed them in a bowl, so many thoughts flashed through her mind. Like, what would’ve happened if her father didn’t fulfil Xander’s demands and she was still being used as a bait? Would he have killed her or something? But how could someone be so cruel to the extent of using his own wife as a bait without her knowledge?

When she’d heard stories of him being cold hearted and the rest, she never thought it’d be up to that extent. But now she understood. And thinking of it, wouldn’t it be dangerous to continue staying here with him?

“What’re you doing out here so late?” She suddenly heard a male voice from behind and quickly turned to see Asim – Madame Hapitha’s son. Oh.

She feigned a smile as she looked at him.

“Hi. Good evening” she said.

“Good evening, Princess. Shouldn’t you be in your room? Why are you out here alone?” Asim asked, wearing a genuine concern on his face.

“Well, I um… I just need some flowers – as you can see” Kaylan shrugged and Asim dropped to a crouch beside her.

“And .. what does Princess Kaylan need flowers for, huh?” Asim asked teasingly.
“Are you trying to woo your husband or something?”
He had a cute smile – Kaylan suddenly thought.

Kaylan chuckled. She wanted to counter him, but since the flowers were really for Xander, she couldn’t.
But thinking about it, how exactly is she going to give the flowers to him? Would he accept it? Or act grumpy as always?

“So, the flowers are really for Xander, huh?” Asim asked, coming to a conclusion when she didn’t say anything to defend herself.

“Well, yes. Maybe” Kaylan shrugged.

She picked out another flower and dropped it in the bowl. She was looking out for the best.

“Those colors are too bright you know” Asim suddenly said, breaking into her thoughts.
“For someone like Xander, you should go with dark colors like this….”

He picked out a particular flower and held it out to her.
Hm.

“I see. Thank you” she smiled as she collected the flower from him and dropped it in the bowl.

She picked out another, and Asim helped her again. And so it went until she figured she’d had enough.

“I heard about what happened..” Asim said as they stood up together.
“About Lord Xander trying to use you as a bait. Sorry about that’.

“Yes, it’s fine” Kaylan sighed lightly.
“Everything’s fine now”.

Asim looked into the bowl and moved his hands around for a flower.

“I’m still wondering what exactly you plan on doing with these flowers, tho”
He picked out a bright colored flower the bow.
“But I think this would look really good on you”. He added and fixed the flower in her hair – just at the tip.

Kaylan blinked rapidly and let out a light smile.

“Thank you. I’ll take my leave now” she smiled and turned around to leave. And to her surprise, she found Xander standing and staring at them from a distance with some of his guards behind him.

Hold on…

She quickly turned to look at Asim who’d also seen Xander. Was Xander really watching them the whole time??

The flowers! The hell! He wasn’t thinking something else, was he?

She turned and continued staring blankly at him, his eyes completely dark and expressionless.

Cold memories flipped through her mind immediately. And quietly, he turned around and continued walking away with his guards

The Master’s Third Wife Episode 40

By: Faith Lucky

As Xander stepped out of Kaylan’s room, he felt cold waves blowing all around him.

His hands ere still resting at his back and getting to where the guards were, right in front of her door, he stopped walking.

The guards stood at alert, thinking he actually wanted to pass an order to them or something. But after standing for such a long time, all he did was walk away – without uttering a word.
*
Jaden had been standing and watching from a distance and as soon as she saw Xander leave the room, her heart couldn’t help but panic. What could’ve happened in there?! He wasn’t looking good at all.

She saw him walking away and without any hesitation,ran towards the room immediately. Luckily, the guars let her pass and getting to the room, she found Kaylan sitting on the bed, looking so dumb with traces of tears on her face.

“Hey!” She called in a whisper, scuttling towards her.
“Are you alright? What the hell happened? Did he…did he hurt you? Why are you crying?” She asked so many questions but got no reply from Kaylan.
Instead, she released some more tears a while later.

************************

Lord Xander walked into his chambers, his heart twisting in his chest.

He normally didn’t know how to express his anger. So, each time he was angry, he’d prefer training or fighting – just to get it out.

But at that very moment, deep in an embittered mind, he couldn’t think of fighting as all he wanted to do was be alone.

He walked in and stood in front of his window, not knowing the exact thoughts to focus on from the so many voices ringing in his head.

Kaylan’s words had stung him really hard in the chest; offended hon so much yet he couldn’t get her punished.

“Unfortunate” the words replayed in his head.
Unfortunate.

He was really unfortunate…. wasn’t he?

He exhaled deeply and looked up at the ceiling, his eyes closed. And so he stayed for a long time, not wanting to move a finger.

Anya couldn’t help but feel so nervous as she sat in the physician’s room, awaiting her return.

Her hands were so sweaty already, anxiety taking the best of her. The result had to be negative; the result had to be negative – she kept reminding herself.

She fidgeted with her hands and shortly, the older woman walked in.

She was a bit short, her hair all white already. But her old age could never make her defect in her job.

“Is it ready?” Anya asked nervously, staring at the woman’s hand.

“Yes, it is” she answered and took a seat in front of Anya.

The whole silence was making Anya grow more anxious.

“My dear child”, she began. “I’ve checked you properly and…. I discover you’re pregnant”.

*****************

“Thank you” Kaylan muttered to Jaden as she returned the empty cup to her.
She had to help her with some water to calm her down, and hopefully, it worked.

“So, tell me; what really happened?” Jaden asked enthusiastically as she sat beside her on the bed.
She’d been so eager to know the whole time

Kaylan sniffed and hesitated a little.

“It…has to do with my father” she began. “Xander’s using me as a bait against him to… get something from him”.

Jaden said nothing, not immediately. And that was because she was trying to digest the impossible story.

“Hold on, you’re not being serious, are you?” She scoffed.

“Do you really think I’d joke with something this sensitive?” Kaylan asked.
“Of course, I’m being serious. He’s using me as a bait and that’s the reason he has me locked up here and wouldn’t let me out of the room”

“Whaaat???” Jaden shirked immediately. “Kaylan, this man is far heartless than we thought him to be! How can he even do such a thing??? Use you as a bait! Dear god!”.

Silence descended as Kaylan wasn’t ready to say anything else.

“This is so terrible, Kaylan” Jaden continued.
“Didn’t you try to…. talk to him or anything? Maybe try to beg him or something?”

“I didn’t. Instead, I…. I said something awful to him” she bent her head and said with a pout.

“Really? And what did you say? What did he do?” Jaden inquired.

“Well, I….I told him he was so heartless and that was… probably the reason he’d lost all his wives”.

Jaden gasped immediately, covering her mouth with her palm.

“No! Kaylan!” She flinched.
“Just tell me you’re joking. You didn’t say that to him, did you???”

Kaylan was remorsefully silent.

“Oh! That was too extreme, Kaylan? Didn’t he punish you? Or maybe he will, but not now. You shouldn’t have said such a thing…”

“Well, I had no choice okay? I was just being angry” Kaylan cut in.
“You don’t expect me to feel good after discovering I was being used like a prisoner. I was just angry and… didn’t realize when the words left my mouth. Although…. I feel so terrible for saying them now. His expression…it shows he was deeply hurt. But don’t you think he deserves it?”

“Well, maybe” Jaden shrugged. “But that was extreme. Tongue lashing him with his dead wives and misfortune isn’t entirely a good idea”.

Her words only made Kaylan feel more terrible. Perhaps, she should’ve abused hon with something else, not something that had to do with his dead wives. Oh! Now, she felt really terrible.

“So, what do we do now, Kaylan?” Jaden asked and just then, the door opened with one of the guards walking in.

Jaden’s heart skipped instantly as she thought they were there to punish Kaylan for what she did.

Both Kaylan and Jaden stared keenly at the guard.

“Greetings, Princess” he bowed.
“I’m here to inform you that your restriction has been lifted and you’re free to move around at will” he passed the announcement and left, leaving the two ladies in deep shock.
