Dark Truth Unravelled

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-30 22:28:21

There was a terrifying energy as Elona, Alaric, and Leonardo confronted Zianara. The dark witch’s confidence radiated from her as she raised her hands, the room darkening further with swirling shadows.

“Fools,” Zianara hissed, her voice echoing unnaturally. “You walk into my domain, thinking you can take me down? You don’t understand the power I wield.” Leonardo stepped forward, his tone calm but commanding. “And you underestimate what we bring to the table, Zianara.”

Elona darted toward the dais, her twin daggers slicing through the shadowy tendrils Zianara hurled her way. Each step forward was met with resistance, dark energy coiling and snapping like living chains.

From the sides, Alaric and Leonardo flanked the witch, forcing her to split her attention. “You dare divide my focus?” Zianara spat, summoning a wall of black flames to separate them. “I’ll deal with you one by one!”

Leonardo smirked, unfazed. “Classic mistake, underestimating teamwork.” As Zianara prepared to strike, E

    King Hesperus paced the royal study, his thoughts a whirlwind of disbelief, anger, and grief. The revelations of Gwen’s treachery had shaken the very foundation of his existence. Every memory, every tender moment they’d shared, now felt like a cruel mockery. But he was still a king. A king with the power to uncover the truth.He summoned his most trusted advisor, Lord Callan, a man who had served the throne loyally for decades and had a reputation for discretion. “Your Majesty, you called for me?” Callan entered, bowing low.“Yes, Callan.” Hesperus’s voice was firm, but the tremor of emotion was unmistakable. “I need you to prepare a royal decree, one that will summon every member of this court, including the queen, to attend a Truth Council. I want the kingdom to see the unveiling of this… this web of lies.”Callan’s eyes widened. “A Truth Council, sire? That has not been invoked in nearly a century.”“Then it is long overdue,” Hesperus snapped. “We will convene tomorrow morning in t

    The grand hall of the royal palace stood in stunned silence, the air thick with emotions too overwhelming to name. At the heart of it all was King Hesperus, his once-imposing figure now seeming smaller, humbled not by force, but by the sheer weight of the truth.His golden eyes flickered toward Garcia, the woman he had despised for years, the woman he had believed had schemed to trap him. Yet now, faced with undeniable proof, the truth burned through him like an unrelenting flame.He had been wrong. He took a deep breath, his voice softer than any had ever heard from him. “Garcia.” She stiffened at the sound of her name from his lips. For decades, it had been spoken with disdain, with cold dismissal. Now, however, it was heavy with something foreign, regret.“I…” Hesperus hesitated, exhaling shakily. “I have spent years resenting you, hating you for a crime you never committed. I thought you had drugged me, that you had spent the night in my chambers with the intention of securing a p

A man who had suffered because of Gwen’s manipulations.Esmeralda stood beside Julio, her hand in his, as if silently reminding him that no force, not Gwen, not imprisonment, not even time itself, had been able to sever their bond.Hesperus exhaled heavily before rising to his feet. His voice, when it came, was steady but laced with something foreign, humility. "Julio... I owe you an apology." Julio lifted his gaze, his expression unreadable."I accused you of treason," Hesperus continued, his grip tightening on the arms of his chair as if ancho

    The quiet hum of the late afternoon filled the air as Alaric sat in the grand dining room, surrounded by his family. The atmosphere was warm, the usual laughter of his triplets and Elona making it feel like home. But the tranquility was about to be shattered. His phone buzzed sharply on the table, pulling his attention away from the soft chatter.Elona glanced at him with a raised eyebrow. "Urgent?" she asked, sensing the sudden tension in his posture as he read the message. Alaric didn’t respond immediately, his fingers moving quickly over the screen. His brows furrowed as he scanned the email, his face going pale. He could feel his pulse quicken as the message sank in.

    The cold evening air bit at Alaric’s skin as he pulled up to the gates of his villa. His mind was still reeling from his conversation with Senior Royale. The curse. The imposter. His mistakes.He had wasted over a year. A year living under the same roof as a fraud while his real wife was out there, alone. No. In the hands of another man. She didn't have her memories and that made her vulnerable. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. Never again. He will set things right. This was his vow to himself. As his car rolled to a stop, his sharp eyes caught sight of two figures standing near the gate. Edward Callahan. Tania. A frown settled on his face. What were they doing here? Hadn’t they just returned from abroad?Alaric stepped out of his car, his powerful frame cutting through the dim light of the villa’s entrance.

    Alaric sat in his dimly lit study, the ticking of the antique clock grating on his already frayed nerves. His fingers drummed against the polished wood of his desk, his mind replaying a detail that had been gnawing at him for days.Elona was five months pregnant when she arrived in Country M with Kian. That was nine months ago. He clenched his jaw. With the right calculations, she must have given birth. So, where was the baby? Or… babies, since Elona had a history of giving birth to multiples? Since he now knew the truth, it was obvious that he was the father. A shiver ran down his spine when the possibility of Kian claiming them as his flickered in his mind. His breath turned shallow, his obsessive compulsive need for order clashing violently with the messy reality he had allowed to unfold. He was a man who thrived on control, everything in its rightful place, everything accounted for.But this? This was chaos. An unprecedented kind of chaos. The real Elona was out there, with anot

    Meanwhile, in Velmorah, Aria decided not to worry about Alaric's threats or the threats that loomed in the dark. She did not even want to deal with the imposter who stole her identity. For her, the past life she once had, did not matter at all. What really mattered were her children, the flesh of her flesh. Now that they had reconnected, she felt whole again.Aria sat in the warmth of her private study, her delicate fingers curled around a porcelain teacup as she watched the triplets animatedly recount stories from their past. The soft glow of lanterns cast flickering shadows on the walls, but the only thing that held her attention was the three little geniuses before her.She had barely known them for a short while, yet it felt as though her soul had recognized them long before her mind had.

    The prison wardens office swirled with a suffocating tension. The revelation hand a certain ominous feeling that was pressing down on everyone in the room. The forensic team stood frozen, the results on their screen a glaring contradiction to what had been believed for over a year.“This… this isn’t possible,” the warden stammered, his face turning ashen. His fingers trembled as he clutched the paper detailing the fingerprint results. Feeling the colad and fore doing aura emanating from the Royale grandfather and grandson, his knees nearly buckled. Alaric sat across from him, and his cold, calculating gaze drilling into the man like a sharpened blade. His posture was deceptively relaxed, but his aura was suffocating. Even the most hardened officers in the room dared not meet his eyes. “Explain,” Alaric said, his voice dangerously quiet.The forensic specialist cleared his throat, stepping forward. “Sir, according to our records, this woman”, he pointed to the prison cell's current oc

    Aria paced the length of the study, her fingers curled into tight fists. The weight of the letter still lingered in her mind, but it wasn't fear that consumed her now, it was frustration."Who does he think he is?" she muttered, her voice sharp with anger. "He had an imposter by his side for a year, and now he thinks he can summon me like I owe him an explanation?"Kian leaned against the desk, his arms crossed. "Alaric is a desperate man, Aria. The fact that he’s finally figured out that the woman beside him isn’t you means he’s digging deeper. We need to be ahead of him." Aria exhaled sharply. "I don’t care about what he figures out. I care about keeping my children out of this mess."Master Fu, who had been silent until now, set down a document on the table. "We might not have the luxury of staying out of it anymore. Our sources have confirmed something troubling, Maribel is not working alone. There's someone orchestrating this deception from the shadows."Aria stilled. "What do yo

    The days that followed were quiet but suffocating. The peacefulness of the Vortigen Grand Villa, which had once been a refuge, now felt more like a gilded cage. Aria's thoughts often wandered back to the time before her memories had been taken. Before she had learned the truth about her life, about Alaric, and about the world she had once belonged to. But those days seemed like a distant dream now.She focused on the present, on her children, and on the promise she had made to Kian. They would not let the past destroy what they had built. However, the threat of Alaric’s return still loomed over them like a dark cloud. The truth was out there, and it was only a matter of time before it reached him.Kian, ever the protector, was especially vigilant.

    The ominous, foreboding feeling that lingered over Vortigen Grand Villa had settled into a tense silence. Master Fu paced slowly in the study, deep in thought, while Kian and Aria sat with the triplets, who were now playfully rolling around on the rug. Their laughter seemed like a distant melody, a stark contrast to the storm brewing on the horizon.Aria absentmindedly played with Allie’s hair, the feel of her daughter’s soft curls grounding her, anchoring her to the present, to the family she had found in Kian and these beautiful children. She had made her decision. The past, with all its pain and lies, was behind her.But even as she tried to savor this peace, her thoughts kept drifting to the woman who had taken her place in Alaric’s life.

    The Vortigen Grand Villa was silent, tension swirling around the whole place. Master Fu sat at the grand study’s desk, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished mahogany surface. The triplets sat on the plush couch with Kian and Aria, their small faces serious as they waited.In his hands, Master Fu held the DNA analysis results, sent directly from Alaric himself, who had unknowingly delivered the truth into their hands.The envelope was already opened, the paper slightly crumpled from his grip. He had read the contents twice, yet the the truth was a bittersweet revelation. Although he expected it, Aria had no recollection of her past.

The clock on the wall ticked steadily, but his mind was anything but calm.Forty-eight hours had passed. A whole two days since he had Maribel’s blood drawn under the guise of a routine check-up. Any minute now, he knew he'd be drawing closer to the truth.A soft ding echoed in the quiet office and his phone screen lit up with a message from Dr. Hastings: "The results are ready. You’ll need to see this in person."Alaric’s grip on his phone tightened. He rose from his chair, grabbing his coat with a sharp motion before striding out. Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, immediately fell in step beside him. “Sir?” Jimmy inquired, softly.“We’re going to Hastings’ clinic.” Alaric's response was clipped. Jimmy felt the suppressed rage and shuddered inwardly. Jimmy needed no further explanation. His sharp gaze darkened as he nodded. “Understood.”Dr. H
