Hey guys, welcome back! I know I left it at a cliff hanger; but really did you expect anything less? Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
P.S I would also like to make you all aware of something; I did have this full story completed but something didn't feel right. So I made the decision to post up until a certain point until I work this out – I hope you understand.
I think you all know me by now that I only post my stories when they are perfect; and if there is even a shadow of doubt on a story or a chapter I will put a hold on it until I have decided where I want to go with the story. I hope you understand.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief.
"Can it Purple!" She snapped. "I am here to see Ben not you" she advised as a devilish grin spread across her face. "You are not of importance" she sneered. "Never have been; never will be" she laughed.
"Uma don't talk to Mal that way" Ben answered sternly as he wrapped his right arm around my waist.
"I will talk to her anyway I like!" She snapped back. "I am going to be Queen" she announced smugly and the room filled with gasps.
"No you are not" Ben answered. "Mal is my Queen" he urged and we all fell into panic as Uma, Harry and Gil evil laughed at us.
"We thought you would keep saying that" Harry sang.
"However that is not possible" Gil advised.
"I have found a loophole in that" Uma added.
"Which is?" I asked slowly in confusion. I really couldn't believe that this was happening; Uma was trying to take Ben from me. And what was worse he didn't even want or love him - she was only doing this to get to me.
"You already have a pre-contract with me" Uma declared and the room filled with gasps once more.
"What?" Ben exclaimed. "How? He added.
"Ben" I muttered as I looked up at him. I started to fill with worry about what Ben had promised Uma under her trance. By the looks of it she was going to try and enforce it; and even though Ben was under a trance I didn't know whether he would still have to stand by what he has said.
"I didn't promise you anything" Ben urges as his arm tightened around me as we both looked over to Uma.
"Well that is a lie" she laughed. "You promised me a number of things" she added. "You loved me-" she began as she started to count on her fingers. "You were going to bring the barrier down-" she stated.
"Yes but I was under a trance" Ben said cutting her off. "None of that counts" he urged.
"I thought you might say that"' she nodded. "But our pre-contract still stands" she warned him.
"How Uma?" I asked in a panic.
"I am not talking to you!" She spat. "I am talking to my baby's father" she said smugly.
"What?" I asked in shock and we all watched as Uma pulled her hands away from her stomach and she then moved her top up slightly to reveal a slight bump.
"What?" We all asked in shock.
"I am pregnant" she sang. "And you are the father" she told Ben. "Which means you have to marry me" she said spitefully. I heard gasps fill the room and people started to mutter; however I fell into my own anguish to hear what they were saying. I felt as if my whole world was crumbling around me - if Uma was telling the truth then Ben now needs to marry Uma to keep their child in the line of succession.
"That isn't possible" Ben dismisses.
"How?" Uma fired back.
"I don't remember sleeping with you" he advised as his arm tightened around me again.
"But we did" she confirmed. "I slept with you when you were under my trance" she added and I felt my mouth go suddenly dry as her eyes met mine. "And you enjoyed every second of it" she sang smugly. I didn't know how I felt about this, I really didn't; just after Cotillion me and Ben slept together. We both thought it was special as it was both of our first times - obviously not!
After a few seconds me and Ben looked at each other and we both threw each other a panicked glance as there was points where Ben didn't remember when he was under Uma's trance.
