||Nemiah POV||

I sat still on my bed, my hands in my lap as I felt empty on the inside of me. I was tired, hungry, distressed, and just wanted to be away from everyone at the moment, but Mihimirah wasn't allowing that. She simply ate her treat off of her plate that was on the table, before looking to me with her daring blue eyes. "Have some, darling. You must be famished by now. "

I was, but who knows if it was drugged or something. My level of trust was low here in this palace. No one seemed to be reliable anymore, at least to me. "I'm fine, thank you-"

Mihimirah shrugged and ate another bite, my stomach cramping from having nothing to digest on. "Where did you go to? You were awfully gone most of the day and I couldn't find you." She didn't look at me, so I tried to come up with an excuse.

"I seen Hurrem wasn't feeling well and went to help her back to her room and attended her side." I lied through my teeth and wondered if she bought it.

"That's funny, since mother has been out with father in his chamber. She has not once left his side. Do you think I am a fool?" She looked to me, her voice in a cold tone.

I swallowed thickly and tried to look anywhere else but she had a intense gaze. "Sultana-"

"You were with Mustafa, weren't you? And do not lie to me. What happened to your dress as well?" She eyed me.

I felt my emotions having just about had it for the day. I couldn't suppress the pain, and the sadness that been inside of me, ever since I left Mustafa's chamber. "Sultana-- had I known what was waiting for me in the chamber, I would have rather took my life than have went through what I did."

Mihimirah studied me before she took my hand, trying to resist the temptation of yanking it away. "Mustafa took advantage of your will, is what you're trying to say? "

"Yes, My Sultana." I spoke softly as the tears had started to fall. I don't cry unless I really feel the need to let it out completely.

Mihimirah was silent before she sighed. "Mustafa was never the kind to take advantage of anyone--not even of Fatma."

That name was such a curse to me. I laughed coldly. "Of course not! Because she throws herself at him, whenever she can! The slut of the Harem if I may say!"

          Mihimirah shushed me and pushed her plate my way. "Hush now and eat his. Let me tell you this, Nemiah. You must realize who your allies and your enemies are. I have no idea what you have going on with Fatma, but I know nothing good comes of her. "She got up."When you finish, do get some rest. We will talk more in the morning." The door opened and her other handmaid Annie came over and helped her get into her sleeping robe for the night.

I  didn't know what to make of anything right now. My body was sore and I felt like I had been thrown in the dirt. I finished eating what was left and went to my room, closing the door. I got dressed queitly into my robe and got onto my bed, before letting the tears fall freely as I tried to sleep for the night.
