MIAFrom the moment that Olivia intruded on my quiet moment, I was filled with rage and anger, I wanted to tear her to pieces… the nerve of her to show up and claim that she was here to speak to me about Rylee as if I would fall for such an obvious plot.I tried immediately to kill her and my only regret was that I didn’t before Ivan and Javier showed up.At first, when they came, I was glad, ecstatic, against the tree of us, Olivia stood no chance, we were going to rip her limb from limb and send her head back in a box to her psycho aunt.Then Ivan and Javier separated the fight instead of joining in and then Javier seemed to be taking Olivia’s side.I could not understand what he was thinking at a time like this, he was supposed to be much madder than me, than Ivan. He was supposed to be the maddest person present but instead, he was the calmest and that made me angrier.Why was Javier not mad? Why was he not enraged seeing the face of that bitch, he should have wanted to tear her a
RYLEEAfter I met with Olivia, I left her to get ready for my next meeting. It was a good thing that Olivia was back to her right senses.I would have hated to do anything drastic to my family, hurting blood was never easy and I was glad that she did not force my hand.I signaled to one of my servants to get the car ready and he nodded.Today, Philip and I were going to make some arrangements and settle on some things to move our plans ahead… my body tingled with excitement at the prospect.Sarcana’s days were numbered and nothing made me happier than to be the one counting it down for her. She had better enjoy what little time she had with her daughter because it was not going to last.I walked past the housekeeper on my way out, “inform me when Olivia gets back, I have another errand for her.”The aging woman bowed curtly and I stepped outside into the waiting car.The driver closed the door and got into the front seat, “where to, boss?” he asked in his rich deep voice.“Drive until
MIA Hearing a knock at this precise moment with the type of conversation we had going on, was nerve-racking. From experience, anytime we received a knock like this, bad things followed. First, it was the knock we received and then I saw the vampire king in a cloak, and then I fainted and then there was the time when we received another knock and then the vampire king once again gained entrance into our house and knocked out my mates and then kidnapped Javier. I had a knot in my stomach as I looked at the door. I was not the only person that was tense… Olivia was gripping the edge of her seat, a look of terror clear on her face. She looked like she was about to take off at the sign of any clear danger. Javier was also weary, he was the closest to the door and I was pretty sure he just had the same memory flash that I did and knew what type of trouble we have had in the past from knocks like this. His body was tense and his stance told me that he was ready to fight or at the very l
LEONot getting a chance to speak to Javier after the whole incident was something that was getting on my nerves. Why did the boy have to be so stubborn? Could he not at least hear me out? I wondered.I barely got a good night's sleep. I was up early in the morning and brimming with purpose.As Bastien and I had discussed in his car with Sarcana the other day, I was going to keep playing Rylee and pretending to be her ally while gaining valuable information that I could relay back to Bastien and Co.I did not doubt that at this point, Rylee was back from the elder forest but I did not think a direct approach was going to be the best way to get information from her. Normally, she was secretive and suspicious by nature so if I showed up asking questions about her plans, she might begin to suspect something.The spy I had in her camp did not have any useful information for me except that since her return, she had been making moves that no one knew about. I needed to find out what those m
MIAThings were just getting more and more complicated by the hour, first, a man in a red cloth had appeared out of nowhere, and knocked on our door, and when we opened the door, my mom and Bastien bowed to him and then he delivered the letter and disappeared.Here we were still trying to get to the bottom of it when the door swung open again and Leo was there, panting. There was a look of apprehension on his face and before he even spoke, I knew he was going to be bearing bad news.“Bad news people, you need to get out of town, now and I mean now. There is no time to waste.”“What the hell are you talking about?” Javier asked dismissively, “We were just about to get Bastien and Sarcana to cough up another one of their secrets and here you are again.”“Whatever it is you want to hear from them, I can assure you, it can wait, mine can’t. Don’t even bother packing a bag, just get in your car and start driving… all of you. You need to be anywhere else but here. Leave before it is too lat
MIA“We are not going to answer that,” Ivan said backing away from the door.“Took the words right out of my mouth,” Javier said.“We are too late,” Leo said then cast an angry glance at Sarcana, “this is all your fault. If anything happens to Mia, you are to blame.”“Oh please don’t pretend like you are worried about Mia, right now. The only person you care about is yourself.”“Guys, what the hell are we going to do?” Olivia asked.She had been silent this whole time, shaking in fear and unable to speak and now she finally spoke, albeit in a tiny voice, like a scared little child.Leo looked surprised, I guessed with everything that was going on, she completely escaped his mind and he did not see her.“What the hell are you doing here?” he asked, his look went from surprised to cautious as it dawned on him what her presence here meant for his relationship with Rylee.“Don’t worry,” Olivia said reading the situation. “I won’t rat on you.”“Like I would trust the words of a rat,” he sa
MIA“It’s no use,” Leo said, “We are surrounded!”As I heard that I felt a bit of relief flood through me, I was going to fight after all, I was going to get my wish of staying with my mom."There is no escaping this now, we have to all fight," Leo said and looked at me with anger in his eyes. "All this could have been avoided if you and your mom had just been reasonable from the start. Can't believe that bull-headedness and a childish tantrum is why we are in this situation right now.""Don't matter how we got here, what matters is that we get out of it," Ivan said."How many attackers?" Javier asked."I could see about fifteen out back, who knows the number up front.""Shit, this is going to be tough," Javier admitted.A loud bang sounded on the back door and then came again more forcefully."They are trying to get in," Olivia said and went behind Leo."Do not count on me or any of the men to save you. You are going to have to fight for yourself. Everybody's attention is on saving M
JAVIERThere was no reprieve from the attacks, we bolted the doors and ran back to the living room and the whole place was a war zone.It was unbelievable that just moments ago, this place was a well-furnished living room, right now it looked the exact opposite.My eyes scanned the battlefield and we were not winning at all, Bastien and Sarcana had been pushed back and were still being heavily pressed by about eight attackers. there was still an army behind that hadn't moved an inch.They just stood there watching them struggle, trying to wear them out. When they spotted us, a tall huge man at the back ordered them to attack.I saw Mia's attacker, the man had a small rugged blade with him, and it wasn't coated with silver, I determined that Mia could easily handle him. I wasn't so lucky.The man who came after me was huge and he had a cutlass, the edges were all coated with silver and he looked at me like we had some serious beef from before when I had no idea who the guy was.I didn'
