Chapter 137 - Dungeon

Benjamin

The man started to cover the small baskets with sand and my heart broke, inch my inch. There these little gravestones with the names Jaya and Jacob them. 

Everything felt like a blur. There was not much of the funeral after that, that I witnessed.

Residing making to my palace wing, I smashed several chandeliers, antique vases and what not. Palace staff tried to calm me down. I had almost expected my grandfathers to come and stop me, but he did not. 

When I entered my bedroom, I quickly turned around and ran through the halls. Instead of taking the elevator, I took the stairs, all the way down to the dungeon.

Breaking things was not enough to satisfy the rage within me.

"You." I said to one of my guards. "Let me in that cell." I told him. "Your majesty." The guards said starlet by unannounced visit down here.

To be honest. I had never been here. The air smelled damp and it was cold. 

"Open that cell and let me in." I told the guard again. The guard opened the cell and I walked in. Saeed was already standing up, waiting for me. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, I punched him on his jaw.

It felt like everything was in slow motion and he fell to the ground with a huge thud.

He just laid that and that irritated the hell out of me. I needed to fight him. Like a real fight. This was not satisfying my anger at all.

"You lousy bastard, get up." I roared. 

Saeed Touched his face and looked at me. He seemed to had lost a teeth and his face was bloody.

"Get up you coward!" I told him. Saeed tried to get on his feet, but he was not fast enough. He bugged the hell out of me, so I picked him up by his collar and pinned him to the wall.

"Fight, you weasel." I said. But he did not react.

Saphira

I needed to look good night, but I did not know what to wear.

I looked into the mirror that was standing in my room, and look at my reflection. My eyes seemed wary, and maybe I was being ridiculous. 

Who did I want to look good for? 

I needed to accept the fact that Benjamin loved his wife, and it did not matter to him is she loved him back. 

"You look good in that gown." Sierra said with a bottle of wine in her hands. I stared at her through the mirror reflection. "Are you crazy?" I smiled. "We are not allowed to drink." I said as I turned around towards her.

"You mean you have never drank any alcohol?" She said sounding drunk already. "What are you doing Lynn? I mean, how could you be this drunk? I have been with just like thirty minutes ago." I questioned.

"I think this is an awfully good time to get drunk!" She giggled. "Have some!" She said. "I don't think that is such a good idea, I mean… Our parents are here…" I tried to get through to her.

"Yeah… Our parents…" She said. "You know." She started to say, as he poured me a glass of wine and spilled half of it on the floor. I hurried to her side and tried to clean every thing up, before it would make stains.

Benjamin

"It does not matter." Saeed said indifferent. 

I hit him again and he just let it happen. I dropped him to the ground. "Are you done with me already?" He grinned. His black mustache made look like the gross little man he was.

"Of course it matters." I contradicted.

"No it does not." Saeed said waving his index finger. "You will kill my any way." He shrugged.

I thought of that. I pouted my lips and looked at him from head to toe. "Yes…." I said. I will. "But the question is.. How will I do that." I laughed deviously. 

"You will kill me in secret, because you want to come off as a modern, western man. But you are not." He said an spit to the left.

I studied him. The way he moved, the way he looked out of his eyes. I thought of all the horrible things he had done to Jasmine while she lived with her father and kicked him in the head.

"Oh.. That is where you are wrong." I said, more and more liking my new plan.

"I will have you separated." I said as I imagined it. "And I will broadcast it on every TV station in Saudi-Arabia." I smiled. "Yes." I said and twitched my lips. "World leaders will probably not make deals with me for a while… " I said flashing my teeth… "But they need my oil." I shrugged.

"Guess who has the upper hand." I said raising my eye brows. "Separated?" Saeed squeaked. 

"You can not do this." He said in a shaking voice. "Why not?" I frowned. "Because of Jaleesa… Jasmine would never want her sister to hurt like that." He said trying to weasel himself out of this.

"I rather think that Jaleesa will be glad she is rid of you." I said thinking out loud. "I need to release the anger I feel towards you, so I think we should do it right now." I said clapping my hands.

"Right now?" He breathed.

"Yes." I said

"All this over that ugly wife of yours?" He hissed. "Don't you dare speak about my wife like that." I said as I grabbed him and gave him a head bang. 

"Prepare everything in the city, so he can be parted in four with enough people to see. They all need to know what happens to those who hurt my wife." I warned him and walked out of the dungeon.

I felt terrible. My hands were shaking, when I bumped into Saphira on the stairs. "Hey you." She smiled. "Hey.." I mumbled back.
