Stephen is sitting in his chamber, facing the tower. He is looking at the tower, but he is not looking at it. His mind is a jumbled mess. After looking at what happened to Angelo, he couldn't suppress the fear of being the next. Angelo just planned once to kill Blaze. But Stephen lost count of how many times he tried.
He even killed Blaze's father and mother. If they began to suspect him, then slowly everything will be unraveled and all of his sins will be spread wide in the open for everyone to see.
Last night when Angelo and his family were being escorted out of the palace, everyone cursed him and his family. They all cursed that Angelo's family would starve soon and die a painful death.
Stephen gulped audibly to wet his dry throat.
'What will happen if they find out that I am the one who is behind every bad that happened in their lives? They will definitely treat me worst than how they treated Angelo' Stephen feared.
He still cannot
Bella is sitting in front of her vanity mirror, looking at herself. She is wearing a half-white body con dress, that reaches her toes. The dress has small precious gems adorned all over it, making it shine brightly under the lights. Her hair is neatly twisted from both sides into a fancy braid, that is cascading down her back and reach until her waist. There is a crown sitting on her head, which is small but very elegant. It has a zig-zag pattern, with long and short tower-like edged raising from the surface. It has precious white diamonds adorned all over it, with one unique black diamond sitting in the middle.Her ears are adorned with black diamond earrings, with matching neckpiece. She is looking so beautiful and elegant. The dress has cap sleeves. She is looking ethereal."You are looking so beautiful my lady" Linda gushed with a satisfied smile playing on her lips.Bella smiled at the compliment."Everything is your effort. I don't know
Scott and Elvina are reeling with shock after finding out that Bella is their daughter. They are shocked into speechlessness. They are now looking at Bella from across the hall, who is engaged with the guests like the polite host she is.After finding out that Bella is their daughter, they couldn't let out a single word from their mouths. But their daughter and son-in-law are so considerate, that they let them digest the news slowly and didn't rush them at all."We need to go and attend the party. We can talk about it tomorrow. I know you might have some questions and we have so much explaining to do. So take your time and enjoy the party. Let's go" King Blaze changed the subject and gave them some time to recover from the shock.Now, even after one hour, they couldn't tear their eyes away from Bella."Is she really our daughter?" Elvina asked her husband.Scott looked at his wife, finally tearing his eyes off his daughter.
Blaze is looking blankly at Bella, who is lying on their bed without moving. Her body is turning cold and the healers are not understanding what is wrong with her. He called all the well-known healers from the entire realm to cure her. But so far, no one could tell him what is happening to her. Her pulse is dropping down as the hours passing by and he is desperate and helpless. Scott and Elvina are crying. They just found out that they had another daughter and now she is lying on the bed unconscious. They already lost a daughter and they are not ready to lose this one either. "Brother, no one can find what is wrong with Bella. They are confused looking at the symptoms. Her body is slowly giving up and her pulse is already weak. I am scared" Brandon shared what the healers shared with him. Blaze is looking at the sun, which is rising in the east. It's the beginning of a new day. But no matter how sunny and lively the weather is, Blaze's heart is numb to his su
When Blaze heard about the prophecy, he was shocked. He cannot believe that so much is happening around them and he didn't know anything about it. If his father was alive, then he would have told him about the prophecy. But he is not alive and he was kept in the dark by the man who knows about all of this. "Stephen, he knows about everything. But he kept me in darkness" Blaze said to no one in particular. "Exactly" the goddess agreed. "He knows about the prophecy. So he tries to separate me and Bella. But since when did he have this wish to become the king? " Blaze asked. "Since your father married the woman he loved" the goddess replied. He is shocked to hear that. His head is spinning with everything that is being revealed in front of him today. Blaze began to piece everything together. "So Stephen used to love mother. But my father married my mother. So he began to hate my father. And since then he has begun to make his moves to bec
"What was that? I know you lied to those healers. What did you give her?" Brandon asked his brother curiously. Blaze looked behind him and noticed that everyone are busy while tending to his mate. He turned back to face the palace once again. "It's something the fairy goddess has given Bella to use in the times if needed" Blaze replied truthfully. Brandon frowned. "I don't understand," he asked with confusion. Blaze explained everything to Brandon about what happened in the fairy goddess temple. Just like Blaze, Brandon began to fume with anger. "That ba*tard" Brandon fumed with anger. Blaze is reining in his anger. He wanted to kill Stephen, but he cannot do that without any solid reason or proof against him. He cannot possibly tell everyone that the goddess told him all this. Because no one would believe his words. After Angelo, punishing another advisor so soon without a solid reason would raise unrest and distrust among the
Blaze held Bella in his arms. He almost lost her. If it's not for the fairy Goddess, he wouldn't have found a way to save his mate. He is grateful to the goddess. "I thought I will lose you" he confessed his deepest fears. She is still naked and lying in his arms, exhausted. Bella kissed his naked torso with love. "I was scared too. I could hear everything but my body was numb. I couldn't move anything, not even my eyes. It was so scary" she shared with him. Blaze kissed her head lovingly. 'Now it's time to teach him a lesson ' he thought darkly. "Do you know what happened to me?" Bella asked with a frown. She was fine one moment and the next moment her body became numb and she is collapsing on the ground. Blaze nodded his head. "It's Stephen. He must have mixed something in your drink. But the fairy Goddess helped me and I gave you the liquid from those roots you preserved. T
Brandon is disappointed to find out that the maid who helped Stephen disappeared suddenly, claiming that she is not feeling well. He tried to find out who she is and where she lives, but that maid vanished into thin air, not leaving anything behind. "This is getting twisted," he thought out loud. He walked into his office and just then Bella walked in after him. "Good timing" he murmured looking at her. Bella gave him a small smile and they walked inside the King's office with the same thing going on in their minds. 'Stephen' "He is cunning and he is not leaving any clues behind. He is making sure that nothing will go back to him and raise suspicion" Brandon busted out his anger over Stephen in front of his brother and sister-in-law. Blaze and Bella understood who he is. "We know who is behind all this. Why don't we confront him directly? He is playing this cat and mouse game long enough and it's time we stop this
The moment Stephen stepped into the King's office, he felt something is off. King Blaze is sitting behind his desk, and queen Bella is standing behind his chair. This is one of the pictures he found in the prophecy scrolls currently sitting inside his secret safe. In another picture, Brandon would be standing on the other side of the king's chair. They look like a force to be reckoned with.Just looking at the king and queen like this is giving Stephen chills down his spine."You called for me your highness?" he asked after clearing his suddenly dry throat.Blaze has a blank mask on, and so is Bella. Stephen couldn't understand what is running inside their minds. And what's more scary about all of this is, he can feel power radiating from both of them.'What is happening here? Why do I feel like the prophecy came true and my demise is the only part left?' he feared.Blaze and Bella could see the confusion and fear on Stephens's face bef
After one year Bella is holding their six-month-old daughter in her arms. They are surrounded by her parents, Drake and Nyra, Lucas and Lola, Brandon and his mate Stella, whom he met in the human world. They gathered to celebrate Bella's birthday. A year before, on the day of her birthday, she was poisoned. But this past one year is nothing but pure bliss. She got to spend a lot of her time with her parents. As a queen, people of the dark realm accepted her completely. Just like the fairy goddess said, she had to leave the fairy to start her new life as someone else. Lucas met his mother and he embraced her. Lola is a really sweet girl. After so many struggles and ups and downs, Bella and Blaze found they're happily ever after. "What are you thinking?" Blaze asked later that night when all of their guests retired for the day. Bella looked at him with a smile. "Just thinking about how we met and how much we had
After the words spoken by the fairy goddess, all the three of them became even more worried for her. But just like she asked them, they decided to respect her words and not push the subject further. For now, they understood something has happened and the goddess has a limited life span. And more importantly, she is trying to fulfill her duties by the time her life here comes to an end.They want to know the specifics of what happened. As a goddess she usually has an eternity to live. But her words shocked them to their very core. So Blaze decided to honour her words, as he couldn't beat to upset her even more. He now understood why she deviced a prophecy all of a sudden. As a mother she is trying to protect her children as much as she could even after she is gone.Understanding her desire, he agreed to take upon the duties of a dragon elder, just like Drake did. He sat on the throne on the right side, leaving the left one open for the last choosen protector
Bella looked at Blaze with so much love shining in her eyes. He sensed her eyes on him and turned his head to face her. 'I wanted to surprise you, Bella. I know you miss your sister so much. She is the reason why I got an opportunity to find you. I don't want you to miss her and feel sad. So I decided to keep her memories alive through this organization ' Blaze shared through their mind link. 'You keep being so considerate and sweet, and I will become obsessed with you. Then you will be in trouble' she said trying to control her emotions. Blaze's lips twitched. 'You can become as obsessed as you want baby. Because I am already obsessed with your smell, taste, and every little thing that belongs to you' he replied mischievously. Bella smiled widely. Drake and the goddess noticed their sweet exchange. They both have matching smiles on their faces. Drake cleared his throat to catch their attention. Bella turned towar
Blaze is looking at the dead body which is hard to identify. After skinning Stephen alive, he ordered his guards to throw him away in the forest in the middle of Wild animals. After two days, the locals found a dead body of a man, which was mostly eaten away by animals. Now several insects are eating the remnants of the flesh. Bones and just some flesh can be seen on the body. It can belong to anyone but Knows otherwise.This body belongs to Stephen. The Royal armlet that is still hanging to his bony arm is the proof. That is how the locals identified the body. Blaze is now content. He cannot say that he is happy. His happiness comes from Bella. He will be happy when he is with her. Every moment spent in her company is his happiness.But today he served Justice for every bad thing Stephen has done. He is sure his parents would be looking down at everything that is happening here, and they would finally be at peace.Blaze turned away from the body and
Bella woke up to the agonizing screams of a man. She was startled and sat up feeling rather dizzy and sore. For a moment, she has mistaken that voice for that of her father, but soon realized it's not. Blaze looked up at Bella, who is now sitting up on the bed holding her head with a grimace. "Bella" he rushed towards her and hugged her tightly with relief. Bella sagged against him and closed her eyes tightly, feeling disoriented. "How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, caressing her spine softly. "Fine" she croaked. Her throat is dry and scratchy. She didn't use her voice for the past couple of days and the last thing she remembered is being shot by Stephen. She rubbed the area where she was shot absently. But to her surprise, she didn't find any pain, scar, or even a bandage there. She looked down and found that the area where she is shot is rather soft as if nothing happened to her. As if she was not at all shot
"Bella" the fairy goddess whispered sadly. Bella is lying on the bed unconscious. After Stephen shot her, she lost a lot of blood. The healers in the fairy realm don't have any clue about how to deal with wounds of this kind. They don't know that they should remove the bullet from the body of the injured to stop the bleeding and avoid infection. By the time Blaze recovered from his initial shock and rush her to the human hospital, she lost a lot of blood.They removed the bullet from her body, which was dangerously close to her heart. Luckily it didn't damage her heart. But the trauma of being hit by a bullet and blood loss made Bella weak and the doctors have induced anesthetic medicines inside her body so that they could keep her asleep for a couple of days.The fairy goddess is sad. She spent a lot of time with Bella. She was always lively and active. So now when she saw Bella lying on that bed wrapped up with bandages, her heart is aching."Don't
Blaze and Bella nodded at each other, before slowly walking out of the room. Bella found Stephen is back in the chair on which he was reading something earlier. Blaze nodded at Bella and indicated upstairs. They know where Bella's mother is, but they don't know where her grandmother is.Bella is worried that her grandmother might be in some kind of trouble. They searched all the rooms upstairs, but there is no sign of Doris anywhere."Where is she?" Bella whispered.Blaze has a frown marring his forehead."You told me she was visiting a friend of hers. Are you sure she came back yet?" Blaze asked remembering their conversation from the day of her birthday party.Bella frowned."I don't know. Mom said it might take her a few days to come back. If it is so, then she must be safe" Bella murmured hopefully.Just then, Brandon gave a message to both of them through their mind link.'Healers are now attending Scott. His m
Bella, Blaze, and the others are now standing outside her parent's house. They wanted to bring her parents out of the house before attacking Stephen. "First we need to bring your parents out of the house. Then we can take care of Stephen" Blaze murmured looking at the house where he holds many initial memories with Bella. Bella nodded her head absently. "I will go in and check where they are," she said with determination. Blaze shook his head in denial. "No, we don't know what is going on inside the house. Sending you inside might be risky. I will go instead" he offered. Bella sighed. "I know you are concerned about my safety Blaze. But they are my parents. And I know the house inside out. You don't have that advantage. I know where to shift to stay hidden and observe what's happening inside the house. Let me go. I promise I will not do anything rashly. Trust me please" she said softly. Blaze frowned.
Scott is now lying on a bed in his room, with Elvina by his side. He has a high fever because of the beatings he received from Stephen and Elvina is worried about him. He is barely talking and he is sleeping for the past few hours. Elvina decided to beg Stephen to let her out of the house for some medical herbs. They don't have any herbs to treat wounds this severe.Slowly she made her way out of the room and walked towards Stephen, who is busy reading a scroll. She cleared her throat to catch his attention.Stephen glared at her with annoyance."Now what do you want? Is it not enough that I beat the hell out of your husband? Do you want some too?" he asked impatiently.Elvina wanted to kick Stephen for hurting her husband. But she is weak and is no match for him. So she bit her cheek to control her anger."My husband is running with a high fever. Can you please let me go out of the house for a few minutes so that I can go and bring some herb
