Her Christmas desire - Season 2 - Episode 2

The pain she had been holding on to became too much for her to bear. Cassie could no longer contain the tears that stung her eyes, so she let them flow.

‘You cannot do this Tayo! Tell these idiots to release me at once!’ Cassie felt humiliated and disgraced. The King and his sister weren’t treating her nicely, if she had her way, she’d pay them back for all that she had suffered in the palace.

Tayo waved her aside, ‘Oh come off it darling. You are my brother’s w---e and I can do whatever I want.’

The vile name the princess had labeled her with; hurt her more than anything else.
‘who are you calling a w---e?!’ Cassie fought with all of her strength to break free from these men, but their hands only tightened around her delicate elbows. She was defeated. It was time to accept that she would never be free from the King.

When he had plotted Cassie’s kidnap, he’d thought he could easily replace her presence in the palace with her sister. King Yemi had thought that she would be different from Eno, and embrace every good thing that he had to offer her.

Yemi gritted his teeth as the screams and grumbling increased. He had been working on an important document for his mining company, and Cassie’s yelling was distracting him.

He regretted taking her as a wife in place of her sister, but he had to do it. As a king, he had to redeem his image and pride. The only way was to take Cassie as his new queen, but she had rejected him from day one.

Angrily, Yemi shut down the laptop, pushed the papers aside and rose to his feet. Burning hatred mixed with resentment consumed him. As the days passed, he hated Cassandra Benjamin even more than he hated her sister.

She had a wild tongue and didn’t miss any opportunity to express her hatred and discomfort around him. Cassie made him feel less of a King, and less of a man. She stripped him naked with her tongue, whenever she called him names like “arrogant,” “lonely,” “beast,” e.t.c

Sometimes she insulted him in the presence of the domestic staff and there wasn’t anything he could do to stop her. He didn’t hit women, and placing her in the dungeon wasn’t something she could bear.

‘Foolish girl,’ Yemi caressed the stubbles on his chin as he marched towards the dining hall.

He had totally forgotten about her elder sister. Yemi knew he couldn’t go back on the agreement that he had with the Mask. He had traded Eno for vermillion, and he wasn’t going back on the terms of agreement.

Cassie was more beautiful than her sister. From what he observed, she was the most beautiful of all the Benjamin women, and he was particularly drawn to the structure of her cute face.

She was a puzzle, and the more he tried to solve her, the angrier he got. All his life, women had thrown themselves at his feet. Even now as the King, their desperation increased, knowing the power and honor being a queen offered.

He knew he was an attractive man. He had the money. Why was she still rejecting him like her sister had done?

Briefly, Yemi pondered on all the abusive names Cassie had hurled at him. He had never been called an arrogant person. He had been trained never to apologize and to always do as he liked. He was the King!

‘Evening,’ Yemi mumbled to the greetings of his guards as he strolled towards the dining hall.

Yemi suddenly felt unsure of whom he really was. He had planned to send Cassie away from the palace secretly one day. But now that he thought of her as a puzzle, he was determined to break her and find out her greatness weakness.

The dining hall was enormous. It was made to occupy more than two hundred people at the same time. There were hundred rectangular tables and three hundred chairs with identical decors.

However, the table meant for the king and other members of the royal family was carved in a different design and purely made of graphite. The chairs that followed were silvery.

Once the King stepped into the hall, all the guards prostrated before him but he ignored them. He had abandoned his work, so he could find out Cassie’s reason for disturbing the peace and quiet of the palace with her screams.

‘The King is here…’ Tayo wore a mischievous smile as she cast a look at Cassie who was still stubborn.

Cassie felt her heart race as the masculine fragrance spiraled into her nostrils. She suddenly realized that she had gotten used to his smell, and she could tell that it was him from a thousand miles away.

‘Good evening brother,’ the princess dropped her fork and rose to her feet in his honor as was the custom.

Yemi ignored his sister and pinned his dark glare at Cassie who was positioned between two guards.

‘What is going on here?’ Yemi directed his questions to them.

Before the men could respond, Tayo cut in. She quickly explained to her brother that Cassie had deliberately stayed away from eating for some days.

‘If she continues to do this, she may die in this palace and I know you wouldn’t want that.’ Tayo tried to get her brother to understand that whatever she had done was for his own good.

Angry tears sliced her cheeks as she stared at the baked turkey and German bread before her. She had always seen foods like this on the internet and she had dreams to travelling round the world to eat them.

Now that she had come face to face with the things she desired, Cassie found it difficult to enjoy them.

Yemi couldn’t stand her crying. He was hardly touched by tears, but something about the silence in her weeping spoke to him.
‘Look…’ he licked his lips swiftly and walked towards Cassie. It was time to let her out of the palace. Obviously, she wasn’t happy being here and he wasn’t a beast like she had assumed.

Cassie quickly wiped her face and grabbed the nearest utensil, which was a spoon and pointed it at him.

‘Don’t come near me! You have done enough wreckage to my life and dreams. I hope you are happy now.’

Yemi didn’t step back. Her eyes glazed with anger, which made their golden depths even more alluring. She was a goddess in this angry state and for some reason, he enjoyed looking at her.

Her pinkish lips trembled as she spoke. There was fear in her eyes and voice, but she managed to wear a frown.

‘Smart woman,’ he advanced towards the table knife that she had quickly replaced with the spoon.

Princess Tayo wasn’t comfortable with this scene. She didn’t know if Cassie’s mental health was questionable. What if the lunatic did something horrible to her brother?

‘You have to step back Yemi. Please grant her wishes, and let her out of the palace.’ Tayo rushed to his rescue but he quickly stopped her.

‘No, I want her to kill me and end it all.’ Yemi grinned and leaned into her face.
Cassie had dreamt of harming Yemi many times, because that was the only way to secure her freedom. But right now, the seducing glint in his dark eyes made it very difficult for her to think.

Cassie slowly realized that he wasn’t wearing his white robes today. The King wore a deep blue T-shirt and three-quarter shorts which revealed a pair of hairy strong legs.

She swallowed as images of them making love, while her smooth legs caressed his hairy ones.

‘You need to focus! Remember he is the enemy!’ Cassie thought. A blush spread across her cheeks as she blinked away from his attractive legs. She wondered what the rest of his body would be like, if his legs were that gorgeous.
