Thea POV
After spending almost ten hours on the jet, we finally arrive safely in London.
The private Jet directly goes to land on the jet pad on top of our mansion in an area which I am told is Notting Hill.
Deciding to move to a different place was not easy for me at all but I know it is an essential step for me to take.
I know all my sacrifices will not be in vain, that I am very sure of.
I mean, Miami has always been my home for ages and I never for a moment thought I would ever in my life decide to leave Miami for another home.
But I also know it is a very good idea that I decided to come here with Jessa.
Ever since my brother and that bitch of a wife betrayed Jessa, she has been acting tough but the empty look in her eyes makes me want to always be there for her.
I want her to know that there is still someone who will always be there for her, I want to be that someone whom she can always lean on when she is broken, that someone whom she can walk with when she is too afraid to walk alone.
I want to be that sister she has never had and I want to play the role of the elder sister she has always seen me to be.
Now that I am here with her, I will make sure to help her get back on her feet again. I will always be there for her in her darkest moments, this I promise with my hand on my chest.
Jessa’s POV
We arrive at Notting Hill exactly thirty minutes later and I decide to have a nap, the jet lag getting to me.
~
We are now currently been toured in the house by the maid whom I learnt was previously working for the former owners of the mansion and has also agreed to work with us.
I think looking for another maid will be a long process so I tell Thea and Brian that it is only reasonable we keep her.
Looking at her, I can see clearly that she is in her late forties.
She is really beautiful and she has been nothing but kind and hospitable towards us since we arrived, plus she has a very friendly aura around her.
She starts the tour from the living room.
She talks about some of the arts in the living room and their great values.
The living room is decorated with gray sofas, a nice modern glass coffee table and a Samsung five inch curved LED television.
White pillows are placed in each of the sofas, a wide bronze frame clear crystal chandelier is also placed in the middle of the room and a black modern book shelf placed beside the t.v.
I fall in love instantly with the living room at first sight. It is not very luxurious nor is it of low quality things.
It is simple and modern, just as I like my things.
She later take us to the kitchen too.
The kitchen is already filled with all kinds of dishes, dish washing machine and utensils, as well as every home appliance that we would need in a kitchen.
It is painted in white, making it look more spacious and nice.
Coffee maker,mixer, paper towels,tools,veggies and fruit baskets are also placed neatly on the kitchen counters.
A nice modern kitchen island is also situated in the middle and a gray colored refrigerator is also placed at a sport, some what far beside the kitchen island.
Three pendant lights are also been placed at the top.
From the kitchen, we are taken to the dining hall which is also neat and very nice.
We are then taken to other places like the pool side, the garden, bedrooms and the garage which already has a black maybach, white masarati and a red Ferrari in it.
Brian bought these cars for himself, Thea and I. Nice of him right?
He bought it with the help of one of his employees in London when we were still in Miami.
It is already Five in the evening when we finish with the tour.
We have all chosen are rooms and since it is already dinner, the maid who toured us whom I have now discovered is called miss Jackson tells us to go to our rooms to have a rest whiles she prepares diner.
Since she is the only maid in the house, I request to help her. I can’t possibly watch a woman old enough to be my grandma to do all that work alone.
Even though she hesitates for a while, she agrees to let me help her.
'~time skip~
We are done with dinner and Jennifer has asked me to go call Brian and Thea who are both sharing a room and my grandma whom I told her more about.
After all what I have told her about my grandma, she is more than eager to see her.
At least now that we have another lovely old lady in our house, my grandma will not feel that lonely.
Thea and Brian's room is just opposite mine and my granny's room is also just beside mine so it is not difficult calling all of them.
Whiles cooking, Jennifer and I got to know each other very well.
The way she looks at me when she talks makes me think of how my grandma always looks at me.
She seems like a trustworthy person so I tell her everything about myself and how my bestfriend and my fiancé betrayed me on our wedding day.
I know that, that part of my life is supposed to be personal but I do not really care right now.
I have been so hurt to the extent that whenever someone shows some sort of kindness towards me, I feel like I should tell them what Halley and Randel did to me for some comforts, I feel like I should let everybody hate them for what they did to me.
I also tell her how Thea and Brian have been so good to me and I as well tell her all about my granny and how she is the only family I have.
After I tell her everything, she sheds some light tears and then tells me she will always be there for me and that if I want someone to talk to, I can always approach her.
I did not even know she is the emotional kind of person.
I mean, she is very intense on her emotions.
To be honest, I did not expect her to shed a tear for me. I do not want people to think I am weak.
I also get to know she is a widow with two twins, a boy and a girl.
I also discover that she lost all her family members in a plane crush when they went on a family trip.
She told me she is still alive because she could not go on that trip since she and her twins had gone to see a great friend of her's who had lost her daughter and son-inlaw, leaving her with only her grand daughter who was just six at the time.
After talking with her, I feel that there are still good people in the world who cares about others and I am now more than determined to work hard and accomplish my mission to take revenge on Halley and Randel.
They have to get punished for putting me through all these emotional stress, making me think all people are fake.

I need her to remember everything.I know what I did is not justifiable but after so many long years of waiting, can you really blame a demon for trying to get some closure, to get some skin to skin contact?Even the taste of her soul is so nice I wanted to mark her right then and there but I know that is not how it should be, I knew it was not the right time and if I have been able to wait for al
Unknown POV'Ummm... Sir, what do I have to do?' Jessa asks Edmond who has already moved to sit in his big office chair.'Make me a coffee' Edmond says curtly, not even bothering to look at her.'*Gosh I hate this dress code ugh!*' Jessa thinks to herself as she tries futilely to push her fitting skirt down.The dress code for the company is a white shirt, a black tight skirt that reaches mid thigh for girls and the same thing for the male employees just that for the males, theywear black trousers instead of skirts..'Okay sir. May I know how you like your coffee please?’ Jessa ask in a friendly yet professional voice.'I want it black. No sugar.’ Edmond responds in a typical boss tone, still not even raising his head once to look at his personal assistant.'Okay boss.’ Jessa says as she heads towards the corner which the coffee maker
Edmond's POVJessa has been sleeping soundly for about I think thirty minutes now and the atmosphere in the officeis very serene until a loud scream cut through the air, which makes me run into the lounge immediately.And the view I am met with is not one I was expecting .There on the bed is a very sweaty Jessa. Her white shirt is so wet, it seems she just had a shower with her clothes on.Not only is she wet but she is also sweating even more profusely and looking at her, I have no doubts that she is having a nightmare.'No, no I have nothing to give you. Leave me alone please.. I have nothing with meee.’ she screams as she thrash about in the bed, moving from left to right.'Hey sweetie, no one is here to take anything from you. It is just you and me. I am here with you and I am not going to let any harm befall you in my presence.’ I say as I rub her ar
Unknown POV.‘So guys I want to ask something.’ Brian says suddenly.‘Yeah, shoot.’ Edmond responds as he pats him on the shoulder.‘So I was wondering if you guys would go to live in the witch realm? You know, you mentioned that earlier.’ Brian says staring straight at both me and Jessa.‘Good question Brian but I think I know the answer for that. Jessa would never leave here for some realm she has never been to.’ Thea says, smiling at Jessa, who looks away almost immediately.‘Actually, Thea, I will have to return to the witch realm. I have to go and claim my place, I have to submit myself before they find me themselves because if it gets to that, things will be more complicated.’ Jessa says sadly.‘Oh right. It is fine. It is just that we will miss you so much. Bervelyn is going to miss you, you know?’ Thea says as she tries all her best to preventer tears but th
Edmond’s POV'I say we give Halley what she wants. We will give her the pendant.' I say and the other three people in the room shouts and look at me as if I am the dumbest, most stupid and unreasonable person on earth right now.‘Hey mister, am I hearing you very well? Because I think I heard you say I should hand over my birth right to your shitty, asshole of a wife.’ Jessa says, staring at me like she is waiting for me to tell them that what I said is just some big fat joke but I am damn serious.‘No Jessa, you heard me quite right. I think we should give Halley what she wants and end this drama once and for all.’ I tell her, trying all my possible best to put on the most convincing serious face I have.‘Oh yeah?

Azrael(Edmond) POVTime is really running out and my mission is almost over. I have to discuss things with Jessa to know our next move.Even though Halley has not tried anything funny yet, I know she has got something up her sleeve. She is a tactical woman with plans always.I call Jessa and hear the ringing sounds, waiting for her to pickup.She finally answers on the third ring. I immediately hear her sweet voice which immediately calms my dark heart and makes it skip a beat.'Hey mate what's up' she bubbly inquires of me. I will never get bored of this side of her.'Do you have any updates or do you have any plans? And hey, have you heard from Jennifer?' I ask her the questions all in one breath which earns a chuckle from her.Right now, I think Jennifer is the final piece that we are supposed to fit in for us to be able to finally wrap

Randel's POVI can't believe how long it has been. Ugh! The regret I feel in me grows every second of my life.I regret hurting Jessa and most of all, regret trusting Halley so blindly.That woman is no less than a manipulative devil incarnate on earth.It was never my intention to hurt an innocent soul like Jessa.I was so deep and blinded by the love I had for Halley that I did not even hesitate to do as she requested of me.I know I have been convincing myself that what happened was not my fault but I know deep down that I did not agree to the plan only because Halley asked me to.I just could not resist the temptation of the possibility that a great fortune could be mine when Halley told me about the great asset bestowed unto Jessa.However, I guess I should have been more careful when I was dealing with a cal

Halley says, a stupid smirk playing on her lips whiles showing off her ring.'oh congrats! Sorry I did not know you guys are already married...
