Chapter 22
Jolene walked down to the dungeon. Silently, she watched Kieran for a moment’s time as he paced back and forth in his cell.
“Hello, Kieran,” Jolene said, making her appearance known.
Kieran stopped pacing and looked at the cage’s door to see his wife standing there.
“Jolene,” he said panicky. He was happy to see her, since he knew that she wouldn’t let any harm come to him. He knows that she still loves him.
Jolene walked closed to his cell. “Why did you kill my husband?”
Kieran saw the sad look on her face, and knew that he had to tell her eventually. “I was jealous.”
“But you had Amber.”
“Yes. I did have Amber,” he replied, “but I wasn’t happy with her.”
“But Andrew was your best friend,” Jolene said sadly.
“Would you like to know the whole story?” Kieran asked his wife.
“Yes. I think it might help me to understand why you did this,” she told him, before waiting patiently for him to begin talking.
Kieran took a deep breath and then began to speak. “As you know, Andrew and I were best friends since we were kids,” he tells her.
Jolene nodded but said nothing. She became sad while listening to him talk about her late husband, Andrew.
“Everything always came easier to him,” he said with anger in his voice, “He got the pretty girls, and he got a good kingdom. All I got was the Goblin King Throne!”
Jolene could tell that Kieran sounded bitter and angry. Not that she could blame him, since she understood how it felt to have everyone get what they want, while she had to work hard for it.
“He met you when we were teenagers, and he knew that I had eyes on you. But then you introduced me to your friend Amber, so I dated her because I knew that I would be able to see you all the time,” he explained.
Jolene looked at him, surprised. “I never knew you liked me that way.”
He mirrored the look she had just given him. “How could you not notice?”
“I only had eyes for Andrew then and I didn’t notice anything or anyone around me. No one but him,” she explained.
Kieran looked at her sadly and she looked at him the same. Then the frown on her face disappeared and in its place was a look of seriousness. “Why did you kill my husband?”
Kieran took a deep breath and let out an angry breath. “I was so tired after all the years of being so happy and in love with you. You were the woman I wanted and still dreamed of, even while I was sleeping next to my Amber.”
Jolene had a hard time believing that he felt this way. He had been a nice man when she had met him as teenagers, but over the years she watched him become cruel and cold to her and especially to her son.
Jolene cringed when he mentioned Amber’s name; she hasn’t seen her since Jolene and Andrew moved to his kingdom. She was curious to learn about her best friend’s whereabouts.
“What happened to Amber?” she asked.
“She’s around somewhere,” he replied casually with a wave of his hand.
“You didn’t kill her, did you?” she asks him.
Kieran looked at her appalled that she would accuse him of killing her. He had no reason to harm Amber or kill her.
“Of course I didn’t kill her! What do you think I am? Some kind of monster?”
Jolene shook her head. “No, of course not.”
Kieran looked relieved that she didn’t hate him or view him as a monster. “The last I knew about Amber was that she went a little insane when I left her. She is staying with her parents and whether or not she is alive, I am not sure. Oh, and I also believe that Marion is with her, since she also went a little insane when Jareth broke up with her.”
Kieran laughed and said, “I guess like mother, like daughter.” He noticed that Jolene didn’t think that was amusing, so he wiped the smile off his face and looked at her seriously again.
“Why did you treat Jareth so cruelly?” Jolene asked curiously.
“I envied Andrew for having a child with you because I wanted to be the first to give you a child, and I wanted a son with you,” Kieran told her.
“So you hated Jareth all these years because Jareth wasn’t yours?” Jolene asked.
Kieran nodded, and Jolene didn’t know whether she should be angry over his admission or flattered by it. Or both.
Jolene took a deep breath, dreading the next question, but she knew it had to be asked, “How did you kill Andrew?”
“The coward’s way,” Kieran replied with tears in his eyes.

Years Earlier
Andrew walked into his throne room, standing looking around his room smiling. He was happy because he had the woman he loved and a son by his side. Plus, he had great friends.
He heard a noise behind him and then Kieran came out of the shadows, looking down at the dagger in his hand. Kieran was regretting this because Andrew was his best friend; had been since childhood and now he was going to kill him over a woman. He was ready to put the dagger back in his pocket, when he heard Andrew’s voice.
“Jolene, is that you, my love?”
Kieran’s face turned cold and he grabbed the dagger again before he quickly walked towards Andrew. After stabbing him deeply in his side, Kieran looked coldly down at Andrew, who cried out and turned as he fell to the ground and looked up at his best friend. As Andrew took his last breath, he wondered why Kieran would kill him and what he could have possibly done to his best friend that would make him kill him.
Kieran saw Andrew take one last breath, and then he died with fear written all over his face. Kieran looked down at the man he had just killed and he instantly regretted what he had done but it was too late now. He heard people coming so he disappeared.

Present Time
Kieran bowed his head down sadly. Jolene started to feel sorry for him, and then she looked up at him and asked, “Why did you marry me?”
Kieran looked up at her and said sincerely, “Because I love you and I always have.”
“And you were mean to Jareth, all those years, because you hated him?” Jolene asks while trying to understand everything.
Kieran smiled wickedly, unable to hide his hatred for the man. “Actually, I made him Goblin King as a punishment.” Jolene gasped in shock at his admission.
“It was working for years, too. He really hated being the Goblin King. Until he met her and then it all changed,” he said, more to himself than to Jolene.
Jolene stared at him, “You mean Sarah?”
“Yes. That bitch,” he said his voice full of hatred.
“You wanted my son to be miserable, but why when was he was going to marry your daughter?” Jolene asked.
“Yes he was to marry my daughter, but I put a stop to that,” he tells her smiling.
Jolene watched his face, amazed by his different facial expressions.
“Why did you try to kill Sarah?” Jolene asked.
“I knew with Sarah out of the way Jareth would turn cold and cruel and I would be glad to call him my son,” Kieran said.
Jolene was shocked at that, but she had to know this so she had to ask, “Did you really want Sarah?”
Kieran gave her a disgusted look “No! I just thought if Jareth thought that she was unfaithful that he would send her back above the Underground and we would be done with her.”
Jolene couldn’t believe all that he had told her; it was a lot to take in.
Kieran finally looked at his wife, and became fearful for his life. “So what happens to me?”
Jolene didn’t say anything she just stood there soaking everything up and silently crying. This man who had been her husband for years had killed her first and only love. And this same man she had started to fall in love with, admits to killing her first husband, punishing her son, and seducing Sarah so that Jareth could be alone as a punishment for Jareth being Andrew’s son and not Kieran’s son.
Jolene looked at Kieran. “I have made up my mind.”
Kieran for the first time in his life was scared to hear his wife speak.
“I have decided to strip you of your title as king, take away your magic and banish you from this kingdom” Jolene tells him calmly and regally.
Kieran looked devastated at that information but she continued staring at him with no emotion on her face, and her hands clasped behind her back. “You will live outside this kingdom with no access to get back into it.”
“What about Tiana and Olivia?” he asked sadly.
She just stared at him and replied, “They are my responsibility now.”
“Jolene. My love, don’t do this to me. I love you,” Kieran pleaded.
Jolene closed her eyes tight to fight the tears, and then looked at him. “I love you, too. Which is why I did this, instead of killing you for killing my poor Andrew and being cruel to my son”
Kieran bowed his head down, defeated. Jolene looked at him one last time, letting the tears fall. She walked past a guard and said to him “Please take my husband out of this kingdom and make sure he can’t get back in,”
The guard nodded at her before she walked away. The last thing she heard was him screaming for her, and she cried even harder.
She walked straight to her room. She knew that her kids should know what had happened, but right now she wanted some time to herself. She laid down on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
