CHAPTER 1
Melena, sat nervously on the settee in the beautiful sitting room, in her hands she was fiddling with a small green bottle much to the chagrin of her husband, Frex. Gazing at the chandelier at the ceiling she began to count to ten in her head to calm herself down, at seven a voice interrupted her.
"So," he said calmly, as he itched to get to his next meeting, "why did you want to speak to me darling?"
She looked up at him and saw his longing to get back to his work – his power consumed all the love in his heart. She was hardly surprised that her love had left for him and had gone to another.
"I-," Melena stammered, "I'm, I'm seeing someone else."
"What?"
"I've been having an affair."
Frex stood up and stared at his wife.
"Why? Why when we are in the public eye would you do something so foolish? Are you trying to ruin my career?"
Startled Melena looked up at the husk of the man who she'd met during her gap year from university when she'd decided to study Oz as a part of her degree on architecture. She could remember how the emerald colours made his eyes stand out as he approached her and introduced himself… Shaking herself she looked into the eyes which once shone but now were cold. She swallowed nervously before continuing.
"I've had an affair for the past year and I'm sorry. You don't love me anymore and I can see it in your eyes! I've forced myself to stay here," her voice began to grow hysterical and Frex begged her in his mind to calm down, "and comply to your rules – how I should eat, sleep, conduct myself – the list goes on! I'm sick of acting to all the cameras and town folk. Tell them I died giving birth to your child or whatever sick story you create to keep yourself and I shall disappear."
"Deal."
"What?"
"Give me a child and go."
Frowning she approached him slowly then pressed a small cold hand to his head which he slapped away. He glared at her and she backed away sensing another explosion – she could take smacks and bruises but the child in her would not be harmed.
