Rafe had gone back to his room to re-organise his thoughts. His father was right and he did not know for sure if Ivy would want to be with him the way he wanted to be with her. He laid on his bed calm as he thought deeply about the questions his father had asked him. They gave him great discomfort. That night, he slept late, his head full with worries of what might happen three days after.
The third day came and everyone was ready to go to the 'wedding'. Everyone except Rafe.
The littlest son was sent to call on Rafe to come downstairs to join their father, mother and Raymond on their way to the wedding. Everyone was attending. Even Snow.
Rafe heard the knock on his door and asked, "who is there?"
"Our father said I should fetch you. Everyone is ready. Everyone except you. You are expected to be downstairs and ready in five minutes" and soon, he could hear his younger brother retracting h
Ivy had sat down all alone in the dark room after Rafe's father had left her. She was feeling defeated. Her hands had been chained and she had been kept in a cage. She felt trapped. She felt suffocated. She felt disgusted. The rat that ran through the dirty floors before had just passed with it's babies. Ivy shivered as she saw them and then she shifted to grab a stick on the floor in her cage.She took one look at herself and soon bursted out in tears. Uncontrollable tears. She cried for minutes as she thought of many things. Nothing was going her way and everything seemed wrong. She put her hands on her head as she pulled her hair and tried to hit her forehead on the wall.She had come here for a better life. One that would be far from hef former life but now, she was on the brink of death. She, all alone, in a strange land, in between a mad man who was handsome and another handsome guy who was a werewolf and had a family who all wanted he
A few minutes had passed after the maid had come to serve her a meal and then told her a piece of advice.Ivy was now silent as everything replayed in her head. She imagined Mr Jones Vones getting upset at her and slamming her head to the wall or taking out his belt to beat her to a pulp. In all her imaginations, he had fit in perfectly. She knew he could do such and she was now afraid.Not long after the maid had left, someone else was at the door, tampering with the locks again. She waited silently to see who it was and soon, Mr Jones Vones came into the room. He looked happy and excited in his bathroom. He walked to her cage and smiled."Hello princess. How are you?" He asked as his grin widened. Ivy rolled her eyes. What did he want this time?"I am not fine and I would like to go home," she answered nonchalantly. She was really scared of him but had made up her mind not to show it.
Mr Jones Vones opens the door to his bedroom as he walks in and closes it behind him. He took a deep breath and exhaled. It was another hectic day for him. He had to deal with drug pushers. Unfaithful ones. His company was beginning to have problems and this was all because of Ivy. Every problem he had in this life was because of Ivy. It all started the day he saw her. That day they crossed paths and matched eyes in the hallway when he walked past her. He remembered vividly.As he collapses into his bed, he sighed. He did not even know what he was doing, he just knew he wanted Ivy. He wanted to taste her so badly. She seemed like a freshly baked bread and before, he wanted to have a bite, but now, he desired to have her all to himself. All of her for him and him alone.Mr Jones Vones turned to the picture on his bedside. It was a picture of him and a woman. The woman he loved with all his life. She was his first love. The only woman he had loved with all
Mr Jones Vones remembered that day. His heart fell into pieces as he watched the love of his life hang from a ceiling. She was naked as mother nature would have her. His father smiling to him as he pointed his hand in Amy's direction."Father!!" He hesitated before he continued, "Father, why?!!! What has Amy done to deserve this?" He asked as he felt hot tears rolled down his eyes. Hadn't his father forgiven him yesterday?"Well. You are my son. The next king of my empire and our friend, Amy seems to be distracting you. Isn't she?" Mr Vones spoke as he continuously gave his son light taps on the back." We have to take care of that now, shouldnt we?""Father please. Please. Please do not do this. Please I beg you. Please let Amy go. I promise I will not see her again." Mr Jones Vones begged. His father stopped patting his back and held his shoulder tightly. He took three deep breaths before speaking to his son, " My son. I have seen you struggle. I know you
Mr Jones Vones had left and Ivy was left alone in the dark room. He said something about having a bath with him. Was he crazy?Two things came to her mind. Was he trying to nicely ask her to sleep with him or was he just wanting to see her naked? Was it his fetish? She shook her head. That would not happen.Unless… Unless this was an opportunity from the skies for her to escape. She paused to think and finally decided to do it. If this was truly a blessing from the skies, why would she risk it and say no? She slammed her chains on the cage walls until it was loud enough to get someone's attention. Someone opened the door."Tell Mr Jones Vones I'm going to take up that opportunity. I will bathe with him. Prepare whatever is necessary, I will do it" she said as she spoke to the maid. The maid nodded as her answer then proceeded to close the door behind her. Ivy collapsed back on the seating position she was in. She needed to summon courag
"Thank you, Mr Jones Vones. I'm grateful" Ivy said as she stood still. The knife was not fully adjusted to her side, as it was poking her skin, almost piercing it. She turned to look at Magdalene, who looked nervous and scared."Alright. Before we begin Ivy. I have a few things to say. Everyone get out." Mr Jones Vones said as he snapped his fingers as his maids immediately nodded and started filling out. He held his chin and played with his beards as he watched them leave, slowly shifting bjs focus to Ivy.Mr Jones Vones watched how uncomfortable Ivy looked and knew she had not wanted to do this, she was doing this because she was scared. Maybe he had been a little too harsh and aggressive with her. It was about time he changed his attitude. If he needed her to be liking towards her, he needed to do things to warrant her 'likeness', maybe one day, she would also love him. He smiled at his thought of her loving him."Ivy." He said as he stepped closer to h
Someone knocked on the door. Ivy pretended not to hear as she looked down at Mr Jones Vones. She positioned her hands to stab him. She was ready but nervous. This was going to be the first time killing someone. She was shaking, as she closed her eyes to do it, someone knocked the door again. This time, they were banging the door."Who is that?" Mr Jones Vones yelled, as he imagined who would dare interrupt the intimate time he was having with Ivy. He was sure he would fire such a person."Who is It ?!!!" He yelled louder. He turned to face the door as he heard the bang on his door grewing louder. Mr Jones Vones was already growing furious now. He clenched his good fist and was about to stand up when he glanced up to see Ivy. He jittered away. "Ivy.. what the fuck are you doing?" He asked as he fell to the ground and tried to regain his balance. Ivy walked close to him as she tightened her grip on the knife. She was ready to end his life. "Ivy..
Ivy watched in horror as the gun went off and Magdalene’s lifeless body dropped to the ground. She couldn’t believe what had just happened and felt as if she were in a dream. She was too shocked to move or speak, her mind was blank and her body paralyzed.A guard stepped forward and grabbed Magdalene’s body, pushing it into the shallow grave. He quickly began to cover it with sand, and Ivy could do nothing but watch. Tears streamed down her face as she realized the finality of what had occurred.She felt helpless and scared, like a caged animal, her mind racing with questions. Why did Mr Jones Vones have to go this length? Why was it done? What would happen to her now?Suddenly, she was brought back to reality by a voice. It was Mr. Jones Vones, he was by the door of the mansion. He yelled her name, breaking the silence and causing her to jump.“Ivy!” He said, his voice filled with anger. “What do you have to say for yourself?”Ivy’s mind
Mr Jones Vones charged at Dan with all his strength and in a few seconds, he had Dan on the ground again. The power punch was so impactful that it send Dan, again to the ground in seconds."Looks like this isn't a fair fight but it looks like that's the way it's going to have to be. Believe me" he said as he put his hand on his chest. " I had no intention whatsoever about ending our life long friendship this way but I guess that's how life plays it out to be. And who am I to object?" He said as he calmly recollected his steps. He paused for a while as he watched Dan catch his breath. Dan who was on the floor managed to get up as he tried to get on up on his feet. He couldn't and so he sat there, tired and exhausted from the blows he had received. He was a powerful alpha but time and age had taken a toll on him. He was not the same werewolf he used to be. "It is depressing seeing you this way but I have to go. So, I have to wrap this up quickly. It'll be almost impossible to kill all
Rafe turned his back as he immediately ran off. His father was holding the guards off and soon had all of them on the floor. Rafe turned to see his father as the only man standing while the other men were all on the floor. He smiled inwardly. That was the man he knew to be his father. The strong man who had taught him all those years. Yes!Dan had finished fight off all the guards sent to trap his son as he stood to make sure his son had escaped successfully.He saw Rafe leave the compound and watched as he disappeared into the woods."Dont think your son will be gone too far. When I'm done with you, I'll go for him and then the rest of your family" a familiar voice called out to him. Dan turned his head to see the speaker as he noticed Mr Jones Vones had moved from where he was and was now few feets away from him.A blow to the head nearly landed on him but luckily, he dodged it right on time as he pushed himself backwards, away from Mr Jones Vones. Dan fell to the ground as he did t
Dan stood to protect his son. Mr Jones Vones had grown powerful and he knew he probably had no chance fighting but he could not stand there and watch the bastard rip his son's heart out."You'll pay for this, you bastard! " He screamed at the top of his voice. He was angry now and was willing to do anything just to get back at Mr Jones Vones."I'm waiting.. Come get me! '' Mr Jones Vones said. He gave him a little smirk at the end of his speech as he lifted the heart in hand and threw it to him. "Have that as a trophy in your arms before I rip your son's heart out too. Don't worry. While I am at it, I'll rip your whole family's heart out too. How about that?!!" He said to Dan as he immediately started laughing. He coughed in between as the laughter seemed to have choked him. Dan turned his back as he leaned to his son's side and whispered.Rafe was still slightly unconscious as he couldn't really hear all what his father was saying but he tried to make some sense of it."Rafe, your u
Dan watched as his rival lifted his hand to gesture his guards to come to him. The first set of guards made their way to Mr Jones Vones as the next set walked to him with something in their hand. Dan looked closer. It wasn't a 'something', it was a someone. He looked again as he saw his brother all covered in blood. Damian looked tired as he opened his mouth gasping for air. His shirt and underwear were all covered in look. They had even been to read they now hung loosely on his body. Dan wanted to shout but he bit on his lower lip."I'm sure this won't be a hard choice to make but I would rather let you make the choice but yourself. So what is it going to be?" Mr Jones Vones clapped as he pointed to Damian. "Are you going to pick your brother over here? Or … " he moved his body as he pointed to Rafe, ".. your son over there. I just warn you, the moment you pick one person, the other one's life will go to waste. So who's it gonna be?" He ended his question with another clap. " I'll g
Rafe's head had hit the ground and he was still unconscious. His father tried to fight off the men that stood to block them off. Time passed slowly as it all happen. On one hand, Rafe was barely moving with blood rolling off his head, on the other hand, his father fought off the guards and in a not so far environment, Damian was trying with all his might to hold down Mr Jones Vones who had become a full wolf."I thought you were always against them. You said you hated them. That you wanted nothing to do with them. Nothing at all, but here you are fighting alongside them. Dagger, this is your last chance, stand down and let me end this successfully. I repeat, stand down!!" Mr Jones Vones said. Damian shifted back a little as he tried to massage his wrist. Mr Jones Vones had twisted it as they fought and he was sure it might have been broken."My real name is Damian. Damian Rawl and I'm sure you never knew that because you weren't my family. That's one things about family
Where do you think you're going with my prisoner?" Mr Jones Vones said to Dan and Damian. They had both paused at the sound of his voice and we're now facing him. Mr Jones Vones had a smirk on his face as he looked at both men. "I see your family has a history of stealing. Your son here, he stole my bride. Your brother stole my identity and now, you want to steal my prisoner. Does this always happen? Is your family never contented with what they have. Must they take what others have?" Mr Jones Vones said as he started to move. He had a casual look on his face, as though he was talking to people he didn't consider his enemies.Dan glared at him without staring. His brother had the same look. Damian had intially take a stance of defense. He had his legs apart and his torso strengthened. He was ready to take down all the men who came at him or his brother."It seems you have no idea what is yours and what isn't? You really need to have a rethink on that. Don't you think?" Dan said calmy
Damian turned to his brother to give him a death stare. He had no idea his brother knew him as Dagger. Dan froze in his step as he raised his face to stare back at his brother."Go on!. Answer me!. You already know what I mean. Tell me" Dan said to his brother as he tried to adjust his son's weight on his body. Rafe was gradually slipping off his shoulder and unto his back.Damian bit on his lower back as he stared into his brother's eyes for a while then turned to continue walking, "Won't you say anything?" Dan asked, he dropped his son to stretch his shoulders and then picked him back up. Damian had gone further in front- Dan picked up his son and walked a little faster to get to his brother."Won't you say a word? I didn't ask that question for nothing, you know!" Dan said as he caught up with his brother. Damian still did not say a word as he walked in front of his brother. Dan grew tired and so he forcefully nudged his hand into his brother's side."What was that for?!" Damian c
The figure walked to Rafe's cage. It bent over to have a look at him properly. It sighed and called out, "I think your son passed out when he saw me. Come in" Dan walked in after his brother, Damian. He rushed to his son's cage and fell to the floor to feel his son's pulse."I don't think so. He's been stressed lately Look at him. They had beaten the shit out of him, I can tell by the looks of things. His pulse is failing. We need to get him out of here and fast or he might actually die here. Come one" he said as he stood to his feet and turned to the other side of the cage."You need to be careful. Mr Jones Vones does not do things with the physical eyes. I can tell, "Damian said. His brother was about to cut the binds that held Rafe's hands together but he stopped him."Wait!!" He blurted out. "What is it??!!" Dan turned to his brother as he shouted out."Use something to test the cage. Don't touch it yet. I bet he knew we'd come. He must have set a trap somewhere, I'm sure" Damian
Rafe looked to his captor. He smiled, blood dripping from his mouth, "Is that all you have to say?" He huffed. "Well, I wasn't expecting them anyway so I guess it's a loss for you. I can't believe you came down here to tell me that. Don't you have something important to do?" He said to Mr Jones Vones.Mr Jones Vones was a bit taken back then reaction he got from Rafe. He had expected a tear or at least a loud cry. What he was seeing from Rafe was definitely not his plan of reactions."Aren't you surprised?" He asked Rafe. "It seems you didn't hear me. I said your father blew up in flames. I hope you know what that means. You have just lost your alpha and father. I won" he said with wide eyes. He must have expected Rafe to react while he said it the second time but Rafe still stared at him blankly."Clearly, I heard you last time. Repeating yourself only makes me see you desperate to get a reaction from me." Rafe said as he stared again.Mr Jones Vones stood up from his chair. He was n
