Trapped by One Night's Mistakes
Chapter 4

A week passed, Queen kept herself locked up in her room, she didn't want to talk to anyone. Even dozens of incoming calls from Mitha and also Jovan he just ignored.

His face looked lethargic and pale, his eyes were puffy from constantly crying.

Sandra and Kenedy became worried to see the condition of their daughter, the parents finally decided to call Mitha, maybe Queen would tell her best friend.

"Queen, what's the matter? Why are you being like this? Your mom and dad are worried." Mitha asked softly. But Queen remained silent.

"If you still consider me a friend, please tell me! What's going on?" Mitha was not desperate, she tried to make Queen want to talk.

"My future is ruined, Mit." Said Queen slowly. He was silent as his tears came back.

"Whatchu mean? Tell me!"

"Just like I told you, you won't be able to help me." Queen's speech is trivial.

"Although I can't help you, at least with you sharing, the burden on your heart can be a little less, Queen."

"I'm a dirty woman, Mit. I am not as holy as I used to be. Disgusting. I hate myself." Queen sobbing poignantly.

"Help ...!" The tomboyish woman was flabbergasted at the words of her best friend. "What do you mean?" Mitha looked at the Queen's face.

"I went to the nightclub to calm down, and the next morning I woke up in a hotel room with a man I didn't know. He took away my chastity, Mit." Adu Queen accompanied by sobs.

"What ...? How did that happen? You really don't know her?" Mitha was shocked to death, she tried to make sure again.

"No, Mitha! I don't know him, I don't know what's going on. All I remember is I had a drink at the bar, after which I don't remember anymore."

"Oh my God, Queen!" Mitha pulled Queen into her arms. "But wait! Why are you drinking at the bar? You're not usually like this." Mitha asked curiously.

"Someone messaged me, she asked me to come to hotel X, she also told me her room number. I rushed there and I found out that Jovan was having an affair with Elsa, Mit." Queen came back crying after telling Mitha.

"Young ...! Really true?" Mitha screeched in disbelief. And the Queen just nodded. "They are absolutely outrageous! I'll make the calculations with them." Mitha growling.

"I'm hurt, Mit. Why would Jovan do all this, when I've done so much for him. Because of me, he became a confidant in Papa's company. But here's the payoff. That's why I vent my grief by drinking at the bar." Queen said with regret.

"You shouldn't be careless like this, Queen. Look, because of a jerk like Jovan, you've met that son of a bitch." Mitha advises her best friend .

"I am a fool. I'm really sorry." The queen cursed herself.

"So now what are you going to do? Are you gonna let that son of a bitch live a quiet life while you're slumped like this?" Ask Mitha.

"I don't know, Mit. I'm confused what to do?" Answer Queen.

"But how? I can't tell Papa the truth. He'd be mad if he knew I had a relationship with Jovan. You know, Papa forbids me from dating anyone, because I'm already in a match."

Jovan and Queen have been dating since Queen was in High School, when she was about to continue her education in England, Five-year-old Jovan from Queen asked her lover for help to work for her Papa company, but Jovan reasoned that when Queen returned from England, she was ready to propose to the girl. But the reality is very different, Queen was even betrothed to the son of her Papa business partner. But Jovan and Queen remain in long-distance contact unbeknownst to Papa, until Queen, who has just returned from England, must see her lover cheating on her.

"Yes, you're right! You can't tell the truth to your father. Then you'll have to make it out of the Kingdom." Mitha said cynically.

"How?" Ask Queen.

"You should join your Papa's company. That's the only way." Sela Mitha's.

"But I don't want to, Mit." Deny Queen.

"Hey, Queen! It's time you took over your Papa company! You're the heir to the throne. Be the Queen of the Kingdom and destroy the people who have hurt you. You must be strong, not weak. What's happening to you right now, can't make you fall, you have to be a tough woman. Trust me, happiness will come for you, so don't be afraid. I will always support you." Mitha said excitedly.

Queen was silent for a moment, she tried to digest every word her best friend said.

"You're right. They can't see me weak. But what about my matchmaking? Did I just tell them that I'm not a virgin anymore, so that they would call off this match?"

"Why should it be cancelled? Isn't there no Jovan? What's wrong with accepting this match? We'll think of a way to make the Emperor understand what happened to you." Mitha.

"But I don't want to be betrothed, Mit. I want to marry a man of my own choice." Deny Queen.

"That's like Jovan's son of a bitch? This match is not bad." Sahut Mitha's.

"I didn't think he was that asshole. I don't know the Emperor too well, anyway? He could be worse than Jovan."

"Queen, stop being so stubborn! Your parents must have chosen a good husband for you." Mitha spoke wisely.

The Queen fell silent again, what Mitha said was true as well. But still the Queen's heart is difficult to accept.

"Well, who is the one who told you about Jovan?"

"Okay, I don't know either. He's using a new number." Answer Queen.

"We also don't know, his intentions are good or bad. I hope he's trying to help you." Mitha.

"Yes, hopefully." Reply Queen expectantly.
