Chapter: AUTHORS FINAL NOTE!FINALLY!!The BULLIED series has come to an end.I want to thank all those who supported me throughout this book and waited till the end… I love you all so much.I always said “I would never support rape” and this is me still saying that I do not support it.I had an idea and a plot, I was inspired by an article I found on Stockholm syndrome… that was why I found the Book 1 necessary to be written, so you can see the back story.I also added other character lives because I would love to be doing spin offs and I wouldn’t want to begin it with back stories of characters you already knew.I was really young when I started this book, with a lot of ideas for it but so little skill hence I wasn’t able to describe some scenes or emotions the way I had it in my head but this only goes to say I would be editing this book from the beginning.I actually thought it was a good idea to not write the main concep

Chapter: Deserved to endIris p.o.v.Blankness…That was all I could use to describe what I was feeling at this point.Cause no nouns, no adjectives nor verb could describe what was going on with me.Not just with me, but with everyone else.The entire room was silent while the Judge prepared his verdict in the back room, the only voices you could hear was the muttering of a policewoman to Dylan trying to congratulate him with her words.“You did the right thing.”Her words sounded more like a consolation than an appraisal.Everyone knew it was the right thing, so why did it feel so wrong to me? Its been years and I never thought a day like this would actually ever come.Flashbacks from nights before kept re-occurring in my head, like possibly it was all a dream and someone would come wake me to ask “Are you okay?”But it seemed like everyone was also lost in the dream, in

Chapter: DescribedThere was a gunshot in the air and soon enough everyone ran in haphazard directions to cover for safety.“Othniel!? Othniell!?” Meredith yelled out as she tried to take cover also.She crouched behind a shelf and was muttering silent prayers for the sake of her life and her safety. It wasn’t quite long before she felt a hand on her left shoulder and she jumped in fright but calmed her nerves after she saw it was the driver she had been looking for.“What’s going on? How do we get out of here???” she asked as her lips and arms were trembling.Othniel placed a finger on his lips and whispered a littleshhh“follow me”At first, she wondered where he thought he was headed but she wasn’t given enough time to wonder as he pulled her to her feet and ran into one of the dressing rooms.The moment they were in, he jammed the door shut behind them and began searching the entire

Chapter: BlackThis was Santiago’s second day of following them and he feels now is the best time to bring in their daughter back to her parents but he wanted to stay a bit longer to know when they would be leaving the shop.The noon sunlight was a bit harsh to his skin and it prickled at his hair follicles but he bore it in good fate because inside the café was always cool so the discomfort was only temporary.Yesterday he wasn’t sure if it was disguise or adjustment to suit the plan but he never understood why Hunter served at the restaurant. It confused him.Hunter might not recognize who he was, after all he was recruited a year or two after Hunter had left… he wasn’t so sure.But he definitely knew who Hunter was, there wasn’t a person on the team who didn’t.One of Soldo’s favorite recruits that backstabbed him. That’s what they were all told that suited his description.They were all warned not

Chapter: 70Iris's p.o.v.-----The tunes for Unconditionally by Katy Perry was being played so softly by the DJ and it's lull filled the entire hall.The room was slightly beginning to get filled up by business associates, family members and even the press.Clicks from cameras and chatters from people engaged in discussions were prominent in the enclosed space, filling the area with excitement and buzz.I stood at the entrance and surveyed the black and blue themed hall in awe and gloom. Claudette has really got a top notch style.I had already handed Louie to Jenny so she could prepare to be the 'flower girl' and now I regret it cause I have no company.I engaged in a little chat with Guillermo a few minutes ago before I entered the hall but he had to leave so he can go get the priest.No sign of the bride and groo

Louisa asks as I tuck her in.We had finally arrived home after a brief, suspiciously quiet, tiring drive.Seriously, the silence made the journey longer than it should." Yes baby but the doctor said for you to be okay, all you have to do is sleep, eat, draw and sleep some more" I answered with a smile." Yaaaay" she cheered but it ached my heart when I heard how weak it sounded." Go to sleep cupcake" I whispered and placed a soft kiss on her forehead." Mmmmm" she moaned softly and slowly shut her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep.I noticed her little winks and sighs and unknowingly, a chuckle escaped my lips and I began using my thumb to trace her plump cheek outline." Mommy, what about daddy?" Huh!?

Chapter: 67Iris's p.o.v.————— After a while of thinking and consideration, Claudette and I decided to make the proposal party a small one. I personally wanted it smaller than that, possibly just two people and a ring but Claudette does know how to throw a fit. So we chose his office as the venue and invited a few people asides from his employees. Edward, Guillermo, Claudette, Mrs Reid and her children ( well except Meredith and of course Michelle ) and some business partners he was particularly fond of. Mrs Reid took it as a point of duty to invite some of Meredith's friends. That also, I saw no use for.Nine o'clock pm sharp. It's time for Michelle to walk into her surprise." Hu

On my way to the office this morning Mr Reid gave me a phone call saying he had important information for me.And the rest seems like history.Currently I was in my car, driving down to the restaurant he'd chosen for the meeting and my heart is pounding so loudly in my ears.Okay, I know I said I'd given up on everything but for some reason I still feel the need to save my life.Survival instincts right?Why the hell is the journey taking so long?I had to

Ever since Hunter had come home looking so sad and crestfallen, she hadn't felt so comfortable.Her little thought told her that it had something to do with Mr Reid and the deal, probably Mr Reid hadn't agreed with the terms.If that were to be the case then Hunter is really doomed, he can't get any backing or financial support to pay off the debts.He was left to the fate of some drug Lord's somewhere around the world.But th

Chapter: I believe🎶 tough times don't last But tough people do 🎶I BELIEVE - DJ KHALED FT DEMI LOVATO.I was back at the reception area sitting quietly with hopes of waking up any moment from this nightmare.Mom helped me walk out of the room as the doctor began removing appliances and connections attached to Jan's body. And I was in no mood to argue. Dad was sitting by my side all this while as I held onto him for comfort. I had already asked him quite a number of times if I was dreaming but I received a negative reply. Then I changed my course.I asked if he was dreaming instead.Trying hard not to laugh, he also gratified me with a negative answer. So I accepted my fate and maintained silence. Except if this is Mom's dream though.

Sword of blood
Marina had spent her life clawing against poverty, illness, and desperation. With her mother and brother gravely unwell and her family barely surviving, she makes a dangerous choice.
To become a royal consort.
Trading her body and freedom for the power to save the people she loves. It is not romance she seeks, but leverage.
King Xanthanius was murdered by betrayal and brought back from the dead by a single, fatal error made during his killing. Immortal but incomplete, half of his life force was stolen, leaving his resurrection imperfect and his existence unstable. Determined to reclaim what was taken, he rules with calculated cruelty and a singular obsession.
Restoring his immortality at any cost.
When Marina enters his court as a consort, Xanthanius initially sees her as nothing more than a crowd to his space then a disposable pawn, useful for navigating political traps and accomplishing delicate tasks beneath a King’s notice. But Marina is not as expendable as he assumes. Her presence is an untold key to the missing half of his immortality. She is tied to the very power Xanthanius needs to survive.
Bound by mutual exploitation, desire, and distrust, Marina and Xanthanius use each other to pursue their own ends until ambition blurs into intimacy and manipulation gives way to something far more dangerous.
Because falling in love with Marina may cost Xanthanius the immortality he’s willing to kill for and Marina must decide whether saving her family is worth destroying the man she’s come to care for.

Chapter: Chapter 30“When the stones begin to speak, be wary of the opinion of the digger”Xanthanius I was yet to have my seat when the door was opened.“You sent for me?” Anthonier’s voice was as exhausted as he looked. Ever since that night, he and I had been throttling around every thing that seemed relevant to solving our mystery.It involved sleepless nights of reading and decoding. Internally, I hated that I was putting him through this mess.“First of all, do you know if the message got to Granj and Hilra that she has woken up?” Finally sitting down at the head of the table. We were in the Townsend meeting room.“I am aware of that of Hilra because we were together when the messages came. What I can not certify is that of Granj but I trust the guard to deliver it appropriately. How did you know she was awake?” He occupied the seat to my right so it would be easier for us to discuss.“I was with her”And despite the tension of the season, Anthonier still found a way to smirk at that statement. “

Chapter: Chapter 29“Oh darling, there is an adage which says thus ‘He who laughs last, must surely laugh best’”MarinaMy throat felt so dry, like I had fallen asleep in the middle of a desert with my mouth wide open.I tried to cough but it only came out as an airy huff with little effort.“She’s awake, get her a glass of water” I heard an unfamiliar voice say. The sound of feet shuffling after her instructions could be heard loud and clear.I tried to open my eyes but I was way too tired. It was another strenuous activity on its own. I could not even lift myself up.The feeling of being drained washed all over me with a little mix of a tingly sensation flowing through my belly. Still in my position, cold hand tilted my head upwards and pressed a glass to my lips. The water was chilling as I drank but it was as satisfying.It appeared that was all I needed, as I fell asleep afterwards.Later on…The first thing I noticed was the steady beating of my heart. I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfam

Chapter: Chapter 28“Let the countdown begin”Xanthanius I fought against a lot of internal restraints to wake the lady up myself and ask her what had transpired.Anthonier noticed what I had been looking at and I’m certain he saw what I had.It could not be. Was the blade stolen? Was this a replica?I looked back at the mistress who was being nudged to consciousness by Hilra and Xialara. Remembering the sword had fallen from her hand when I got here.She had held it and there was no barrier between herself and its material.My brain ceased to understand anything at this point. I checked the gem again to be certain there was no chances of the blood leaking out. Even if it had, I could not tell with all the blood that painted the spans of this room.I could not tell where the mistress’s blood ended and where the attackers own had begun.Lifting the sword again to be sure it was an actual weapon and not the faux one I had kept in my office. The weight was accurate but it suddenly felt numb.What had happ

Chapter: Chapter 27“Nothing you do, nothing you say, can change destiny”Xanthanius I felt this awkward wave of heat flush through my body and my mind became a blur of energy and emotions.Out of the blues, I suddenly needed a release.“I would be in my chambers. If anyone needs me, tell them to not” I said to Xialara and heard her laugh before walking away.What the fuck was happening?It made no sense. I was perfectly fine for the most of this evening, how did I develop an uncontrollable sexual urge? What did I miss?Anthonier brushed past me almost too fast that I wondered how I did not see him approaching.“And where do you think you are going?” I tried to guess whom he had said those words to but could not, so I turned.It had been Nerida. She had been following me.In that moment, the entire picture became clear. The only off thing I had taken today was the glass of wine I foolishly accepted from Nerida and now I had the need to rip someone’s clothes off.She had put an aphrodisiac in my glass. I

Chapter: Chapter 26“Be still, you shall hear the melody”MarinaMy room was relatively dark and I did not want to turn on the lights because I would be in bed soon.So I remembered seeing a cup of scented beeswax candle in one of my drawers. Deciding to have a bath first before lighting it up, I went further into the room.The moonlight was usually more than enough to keep my room brightened. Some of it fell across the zinc roofing of the stables and reflected into the space, so lighting at night was not a problem.Today was no different, though the night was slightly darker, I could still see.I dropped my untouched glass of wine on the dresser. The ruby colored gem in the head of the sword glistened under the natural light, reminding me of its presence which I dutifully ignored. I grabbed a towel from my walk in closet and stripped out of my overt clothing. Years ago I would have dreamed of being in this outfit but tonight it was uncomfortable. The thigh chain and every other jewelry came off next.

Chapter: Chapter 25“Good cheer, great cheer. Bad fear, worse fear”MarinaThe Prince of Rekal was quite exquisite. A touch of class with a dash of arrogance that was hilarious. “There has been minimal information about you across the country” a little narrowing of his eyes followed that statement.“And is that a bad thing? Should I be worried?” He almost made it sound so.I felt him squeeze my hand that he held in his and he added a sly smile to it. “Not at all. If anything, it sounds exciting. Almost like Aspena’s little secret”The mention of the word ‘secret’ reminded me of the one I held from my experience in the tower. No one had asked for my version of events and I was quite sure that Duchin laid a report to Hilra or Anthonier.“Hmm. Exciting indeed” came my reply. My mind had wandered again.The prince noticed though, I saw his facial expression change but he still kept up the conversation.“Are there any chances that you may come home with me tonight?” He asked, his confidence was alarming.I l
