Since I was appointed the queen to be, three royal beads were sent to me for me to wear around my neck and four for my wrists. The beads were not like the ones we wore during cultural day in school but it looked expensive and classy.

Four guards have been assigned to my family for security and two have been assigned to specially follow me around everywhere. I rarely leave my home different people have been paying is congratulatory visits.

Same people who called my mother a witch and accused her of killing my father are the same people who are still here to congratulate her on being related to the only ruling house in Kuji.

Most of my friends that no longer reach out to me because most of them have upgraded and gotten better jobs are now calling me to tell me congrats. I gave strict orders to the guards that only my best friend should be allowed into our house.

Anyone that wants to visit my mum should call her on the phone. Omolayo has been ranting on how she's going to occupy my room and all the decorations I bought with my hard earned money. Lucky bitch. I told her to bring money let me sell it for her and she went to report me to my mum.

Anytime my mother looks at me, her eyes always shimmer with pride. I've been pampered in this house like a queen and I can't even remember the last time I entered the kitchen, my mum made sure to cook me my favorite meals since I was leaving soon.

The king sent us a maid to assist my mum and yet my mum didn't stop cooking instead, Layo stopped working at home. Mum won't believe she's actually spoiling the rotten girl.

I have not seen the king since the verification ceremony. My people believed it is a taboo to meet the groom one week to the wedding. It's not like I want to see him too, I can't just wrap my head around the fact that I was going to be spending the rest of my life with him after everything he has done to me.

My father's family members have arrived for my wedding ceremony and the most funniest part is that my mum welcomed them warmly. I hissed lightly when they were greeting me and if not that my mum was glaring at me, I would have acted as if they were nonexistent.

I can remember vividly two weeks after Baba was buried and iya eleko as we use to call since she sells pap was screaming profanities at my mum. Omolayo was still a baby then and she didnt understand what's going on.

She almost stripped my mother naked that day if it wasn't for Iyalode who pulled her away. My mum had tears in her eyes while I carried Omolayo on my back.

When my mother refused to remarry and she was trying hard to raise us, they never reached out to us but now when they heard Toyo is marrying the king, they are bringing their two left legs. I wish I can just throw them out of our house but courtesy won't allow me.

I've been panicking about since morning, I am scared. It is my wedding day and I'm not excited like most girls.

All the ceremony was going to take place at night so I'm currently eating and watching TV in my room with my best friend.

My mother came inside my room in the evening and she held my hands tight. She pleaded with me not to disgrace her. She asked if I was still a virgin and I nodded shyly.

Not long, the council of women affairs in our community came to see me. They came to advise me on how to support the king and how to be a perfect queen. My head was filled with advices and the dos and donts of marriage.

When they left and I was left alone. I started packing photographs of me and everyone. Some people have packed my clothes yesterday and my room is literally empty except for the decorations.

My phone rang and it was a private number. I picked it and the person didn't say anything. 'hello please who is this?" The person refused to reply.

The person sighed deeply and the call was disconnected. Their problem. I hissed and I threw my phone on the bare mattress.

I tried to catch some sleep before my idiotic sister came in. She was already dressed by 6:30pm when the program starts by 9:00pm. Stupid girl when she's not the one getting married why won't she be extra excited.

She urged me to shower because the makeup artist is already here. Who makes up at night. Definitely not me but I don't have any choice.

I went for a cold refreshing bath and I successfully fell asleep in the bath tub.
