Episode 27

She struggled for control over her unraveling emotions. Anger spurred her. She try not to cry in the presence of Lord Amos but tears gave way and she break down crying. Shaming herself completely.

Amos breathed deeply before looking away
“Resorting to tears will not make me change my mind Zoe. You need to get hold of yourself. Tell your father that I want you to remain a widow in his house until Shelar grows. When that day comes I will send for you

Zoe wiped off her tears and look at him, wanting him to give her his word of assurance.

“I’m a man of my word
I will send for you.
She refuse to look away. Let him see the faith she had in him and keep his promise to her.
Lord Amos face reddened seeing that Zoe has doubt in his word.

“You don’t seem to believe me Zoe?
Zoe gave him no answer and remain standing. When last have she ever seen Amos keep to his word or do what is right.
“Zoe, I gave you my word
I promise no harm will come to you and I will do as I say. Go without distress back to your father’s house.

Zoe was contented with his promise and did as he commanded.
She stepped out and saw lady Samar.
Samar stood triumphantly with so much fire of hatred in her eyes.
“I will celebrate because we have finally gotten rid of you
witch. Your nurse is waiting for you outside the gate and I will sweep off your foot print as you leave and burn your remaining things. I will purge my house with hyssop and it will be clean and all your prowess will be nullify. You are better off dead too and is just a matter of time you will be joining my sons that you killed. You will die a wretched death
.you that has no womb and can’t conceive a child. You will die a disgraceful death and I await the news of your death and my joy will be complete.
Zoe stepped past her without uttering a word, she started heading to the exit gate. Lady Samar was not satisfied she followed her and kept cursing her.

Tears clouded Zoe’s eyes as Samar keep wishing her death and many terrible things. Zoe did not look back as she joined with Hadar.
They started their journey back home. Hadar looked back and saw Lady Samar sweeping off everywhere Zoe stepped on and did not stopped cursing until they were out of sight.
