Chapter 40: A New DawnThe first thing Caden noticed when he woke was the warmth of the sunlight spilling through the thick curtains, casting soft golden rays across the room. It felt like a strange comfort after the cold darkness that had gripped him for so long. His body was still heavy with fatigue, his muscles aching, but there was a new kind of peace surrounding him. The panic, the fear, the doubt that had plagued him in his final moments—before everything had gone black—were gone.His eyes fluttered open, taking in the sight before him.Luka and Silas were sprawled across the bed, their little bodies pressed up against his own, one with his head on Caden’s chest, the other curled up against his side. The twins looked like two miniature versions of him, their dark hair tousled from sleep, their peaceful expressions a world away from the chaos they had faced. It was a rare moment of serenity—one that he had never thought he woul

Chapter 39: The Edge of HopeThe castle was a place of silence now, a silence that felt heavier than any battle, more suffocating than any chaos that had once stormed through its halls. The sounds of war had faded, replaced by the steady drip of blood, the low hum of magic, and the frantic whispers of those who had witnessed Zorana's near destruction.Caden was unconscious.Karina sat by his side, her hand resting on his chest, her eyes fixed on his face, willing him to wake. She had seen him fight with all the fury of his vampire lineage, watched as he gave everything to save the kingdom—and the twins—but now he lay still, his body ravaged by the toll of his heroism.She couldn’t understand it. He had survived so much, faced so many enemies, but this—this felt different. There was no strength left in him. No energy to reach back to her.Hours turned into days, and still, there was no sign of him stirring.She r

Chapter 38: The Heart of ChaosThe storm had come.The kingdom of Zorana, once a place of quiet power and ancient beauty, was now a sprawling battlefield, its towering spires and royal halls echoing with the sounds of war. The earth seemed to tremble beneath the weight of the chaos, and every street in the city was filled with the sounds of clashing steel, cries of pain, and the unmistakable growl of vampires hungry for blood.Lena had set everything into motion.Her treachery, her desire to claim Zorana for herself, had not only destabilized the kingdom but had awakened a faction of vampires long thought dormant—the ancient bloodline of Zorana that had been sealed away by Caden’s ancestors. And now, with the veil of secrecy torn away, the kingdom was fractured and at war.Caden had never felt the weight of responsibility so heavily on his shoulders. As he stood at the palace gates, overlooking the battlefield, his heart pounded in his

Chapter 37: Unveiling the TruthThe days had been slow, but steady. For Karina, it was a battle of trust—her heart still sore from the wounds that Lena’s betrayal had left, and the distance that had grown between her and Caden over the years. But Caden was trying. She could see it in the way he looked at her now, the quiet tenderness in his eyes, the way he reached for her hand when no one was watching, the effort he put into rebuilding their connection.Still, there was a part of her that hesitated. She had loved him once with all of her heart, but could she truly open herself to him again? Could she trust him not to slip back into the same mistakes? Could she trust him with her heart when he had once shattered it?As the sun set behind the mountains, casting a warm glow across the palace grounds, Karina stood at the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Her twins, Luka and Silas, were playing with Cael, their younger half-brother, who had begun to war

Chapter 36: Rebuilding the BrokenThe grand halls of the palace, once filled with tension and deceit, were now quiet, the air thick with a sense of cautious hope. The revelation of Lena’s betrayal had left scars on everyone involved, but there was a strange peace beginning to settle, like the calm after a storm. Yet, for all the progress, a deeper wound remained, one that neither time nor actions could easily heal.Caden stood by the window of his chambers, staring out at the sprawling grounds below. The kingdom of Zorana had been shaken to its core, and the palace was no exception. Lena’s treachery had poisoned every corner of their lives, and the aftermath was still raw. His eyes flickered briefly to the door as he heard the soft click of footsteps approaching—Karina’s footsteps.She had been avoiding him, as she had every day since the truth about Lena came to light. Karina was still here in the palace, still by his side for the sake o

Chapter 35: The Unraveling of DeceitThe tension in the palace had reached a breaking point. For years, Lena had carefully woven a web of lies, manipulating those around her, pulling strings from the shadows to achieve her ultimate goal: to see her son Cael crowned as the King of Zorana, and to rid herself of all threats to her power. But now, with each passing day, that web had started to unravel.Luka and Silas, though still young, had unknowingly become the center of a deadly game—a game that Lena had played with ruthless precision. She had used them as pawns, trying to erase any trace of their true heritage, to force Caden’s heart and mind to believe that they weren’t his children. But no amount of manipulation, no number of schemes, could keep the truth buried forever.The revelation had come unexpectedly, triggered by a series of events that no one could have predicted. Caden had believed Lena’s lies, had trusted her—just as K

"Eros, Eris! Ito na baon niyo!" Nagtatakbong lumapit ang kambal. Hindi na nga nakakain ng maayos dahil late na. They both kissed my cheeks and say thank you before hopping in to their car. "Mag-ingat sa pagda-drive!" bilin ko pa. "How's the share of twins? Was it terrible?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Hanz habang lumalapit sa akin.

The music starts harmonizing the mood. We are all waiting her to walk in the aisle elegantly. The kids wore their beautiful dresses as they represent each sides of the family. This is how wedding feels like. I remember I forced her to get married with me in a Law Firm and I didn't register our wedding for I am looking forward to a grand wedding like this with her. Her own designed wedding dress, the chosen chapel, the wedding receptions and grand designs. That made me miss her smile and scent. The door open widely and we saw her in a white wedding dress. Smiling while walking as she look at the camera trying to film her. But for sure it is above her emotions that are lingering inside her. Nang umabot siya sa altar ay saka siya ngumiti ng malapad.

Kael POV 12:53 AM Layla's body give up. The doctor declared time of death while I'm hugging my late wife's body. "Wake up. We need you here." I tried to let her feel warm with my body and the doctor tap me before she left. I heard the door opened and my mom is crying with me. "Mom. Save her. I need her in my life. Mom... Please." My mom contacted Reese to say the bad news and let her ready the things that Layla told her if this day happens. "You should go home and have some sleep. I will be the one who will arrange things with Reese. You need some rest because I know till the last nights with her you would never leave her body." I was accompanied by Hanz who is in great sorrow too. We both tried not to be in tears while he is driving. I tried to think happy thoughts but I can't. I want her back. I want her be with us. Kinabukasan ay na

Layla POV Nanghihina man ay pinilit ko bumangon para makasama sa huling sandali ang mag-ama ko. Masayang naglulundagan ang kambal kahit na kalbo sila. I never thought that they would come up with this kind of surprise. Ang sabi pa nila sa akin ay ready na sila samahan akong puksain ang monster kasi naging kagaya na nila 'yong mga batang karate kids sa mga chinese movies. Alam kong malala na ang sakit ko dahil naging seryoso ang pag-uusap nila Kael at ng doctor ko sa labas kahapon. "Let's go?" tanong niya sa akin kaya tumango ako at tinulungan niya ako makatayo. Nagbyahe lang kami ng mga ilang minuto dahil ayaw niya mag-book kami ng malayo sa Hospital at baka raw atakin ako. Kahit na naka pain reliever ako ay ayaw niya pa rin mapalagay. Masaya sila kasama ako ngayon, 'yong feeling na pinaparamdam nilang lumalaban sila kasama mo. Naligo na ang mga

Tinawagan ko agad si Reese para sunduin ako dito sa mansion ni Kael. "Are you okay? Here's the medicine." I stopped her from panicked and let her hold the bag. Sinilip ko muna ang mag-ama ko para makapunta kami sa Cr ng wala silang maiisip na iba. "Let's go," I told Reese and she's running with me. Nang makapasok kami sa Cr ay saka ako pinagsermonan ni Reese. "Sabi ko naman sayo magpa-therapy kana. Ayaw mo ba ng happy ending?" Ngumiti ako saka ininom ang gamot ko. "I will. I just need to settle the kids with Kael. Para makabalik ako agad sa theraphy." Napasapo siya sa noo niya habang nakikita akong namimilipit ngayon sa chest area at tagiliran ko. Weaken bones and Weak body. Bigla ay naduwal ako dahil na rin isa to sa symptoms ng sakit ko. "Fudge, let's rush to the hospital! Hindi ako mapakali e." "Layla! Layla!" Nahihilo ako at medyo nawalan na ng lakas. Ang tangin

Nagkatinginan kami dalawa pero una siyang umiwas. Binati siya ng mga tao dito tapos ang kambal ay lumapit sa kanya para magmano. Nang si Eros na ang nagmano ay umupo siya para pantayan ang bata at saka hinaplos ito. May sinabi siya dito pero natitiyak ko na sasabihin 'yon sa akin mamaya ng bata. "Cleo, you came." Lumapit si Kael at nagbeso-beso sila dalawa. Nag-usap na sila kaya umiwas na ako ng tingin. Wala na akong nararamdaman na selos o pangamba dahil gusto ko lang ngayon ang explanation. Mga ilang minuto ay inimbitahan na kami ni Tita maupo para makakain na. Pinagitnaan pa talaga namin ni Kael ang kambal. Katabi niya si Eris tapos si Eros sa akin. Pagkatapos kumain ay nag-usap usap muna sila lahat tapos sentro ng pag-uusap nila ang kambal. Tinanong ng kung ano-ano at sinagot naman 'to nang magalang ng aming kambal. Kung may ipagmamalaki man ako 'yon ay ang napalaki ko ng maayos ang mga anak ko.
