Chapter 34 – GUNSHOT
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was quiet and dark. I was still holding her hand but I couldn't see her. It's pitch black. It stinks. It's the smell of blood. I know where we are now. It's the cabin.
This was when I let Alora escape. I was brought to the other room separated from Percy and Sophie. My eyes were blindfolded so I could only hear the voices of our captors. My hands were tied above my head and I was in a standing position. They tore my clothes off, leaving only my underwear. They tortured me after Alora's disappearance. They've been asking me where she went but I never spoke. My whole body is in pain. I can smell the blood coming from my back. They whipped me 30 times already. Yes. I've been counting it. I wish Alora got away far from here.
They never gave me food or water for a day now. I'm still thinking about Alora. Did she escape? Did she ask for help? Is she safe?

"Luke, don't you think it's about time you tell me? When you said not to talk about it, you didn't hear anything from me. When you told me and Sophie to leave Alora alone, we didn't say a word. But we're grown-ups now, I think we can handle it now." Percy said. It's true. They stayed quiet and never asked me after I told them not to. I know he wanted to know the truth but I wasn't sure if they could accept it. I drank the wine from the glass I'm holding and sighed. "If I tell you, then help me decide if I should tell Alora the truth." They stared at me and waited. I started on the day Alora escaped, the torture I've experienced and the gunshot. "I was terrified when I saw the body of the man and the blood flowing f

LUKE POV "So what do you think? Do you think I should tell her?" I asked. "Hmm maybe you can tell her once we found something about that woman." Percy suggested. "I agree. I don't think telling the Ice Princess that she might be a murderer can help her now." I glared at Jayden. "Sometimes, I really want to punch you in the face!" I answered back with sarcasm. He smirked. "Let him be, Luke. The kid has a point you know." What Andrew said is true. Jayden is rude and has a bad-mouth but he always makes sense. "I know that. But his behavior is really annoying like Peggy." His face suddenly changed when he heard Peggy's name but I brushed it off.

"Alora?" I know she's still Alora but different. Is she the one I saw in the forest that day? "Did you miss me?" It's not only her eyes, even how she talks is different. Hearing her voice brought chills into my spine. Her family was just staring at us confused. Her mother stood up and walked towards us. Alora turned around and bobbed a curtsy to her family. "Hello mother, father." She greeted her parents. Her mom froze. "Are you okay, Alora?" She asked. "Mother, my name is Ali. I'm so glad to finally meet you. Alora doesn't allow me to get out. She said I'm dangerous." Everybody was stunned, including me. Her mom smiled. She walked towards her and hugged her. "I'm happy that
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 38 - I LOVE YOU
I was talking to my mother when it suddenly went dark. Then I'm in front of the maple tree again. "Alora, have you talked to your father? Father told me. We'll get married after college. I'm so happy. The engagement is next week." Luke happily told the girl. The girl's eyes sparkled. "Yes. He told me this morning. We'll be together forever right?" She asked. "Definitely! I will never leave you! I will make you the happiest girl ever, I promise!" Then he opened his arms and she jumped into his embrace. "Alora, I love you." He blushed. Is this the first time he said those words to me? She was surprised and her cheeks went red. "Luke, I -" "You don't need to answer me now. I wi

Today is Luke's Press Conference. He asked me if I wanted to come with him but I'm not feeling well for the past few days. We also haven't been able to make love after we returned from my parent's house because I was having a fever ever since.Peggy, Emily, Nina and Sophie are here today so they can watch the conference with me. Percy and Andrew will be in the conference and Jayden was dragged by Luke earlier. We are in the entertainment room having tea and waiting for the conference to start. We told our friends what we've discovered about me. They were shocked of course. Luke doesn't want me to be alone so he called our friends."Do you know what the conference is about?" Sophie asked."Not really. I'm not asking Luke about his work. I don't know anything about tech stuff. Did you ask Percy?"
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 40 – FEAR
LUKE POV I rushed to get home after the conference because Sophie said that Alora might switch personalities again. "Luke, why do you think it's been happening lately?" Percy asked. I know she's also worried for Alora. "I don't know either. Dr. Richards said that it happens when the person with DID suddenly remembers something about the trauma. But Alora said she doesn't remember anything so I’m not sure either." I'm getting anxious. What if Alora switches personality and won't come back for a while? "Dad is doing research about her case and he's been up all night almost everyday. I know he'll find something soon." Jayden is confident about his father. I don't know every detail but he has DID as well. In his case,

"Camila? She's Camila? Are you sure that's her name?" It can't be. Camila is my other personality? No. Then am I the one who planned the kidnapping? Impossible! Is that the reason why we can't find anything about her? "You're anxious. Alora, if you'll continue being like that, you can't defeat her. You have to be strong." It's easy to say that but every time I see her, I feel nervous, I'm scared. "I'll try. But are you sure the other girl is Camila?" I asked again. "You created her. You've given her that name." If I created her then maybe I could also vanish her. "Can you tell me why you are always here?" I noticed she's always under the maple tree. "This is where my m
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 42 – FLASHBACK
The photo was taken on the day of our first engagement. At the age of 11, I was already engaged with Luke. I was so happy. He was the boy of my dreams. I've never felt this happy in my life. "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that handsome to you?" He asked. I didn't notice I was staring at him. I blushed. "Is it bothering you if I looked at you like that?" I asked. He cupped my face and smiled. "You can stare at my face anytime, I'm yours remember?" Then I smiled back at him. That was when the photo was taken. It showed our innocent and pure love for each other. That was my favorite photo of us. I remember we sneaked out of the party and went to the garden. That's when I told Luke about me. "Luke, I want to tell

THIRD POV"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.She curved her lips and frowned, trying to remember the man she had seen that day. It was a vivid image because she was knocked out, but there was something on the man's face that she clearly remembered.She nodded to confirm her statement. "He's Peggy's father. Do you remember when we met the man to ask about Peggy's whereabouts? I felt something weird toward him. I noticed there was a deep scar on his left eyelid. The man in the woods had the same scar like Benjamin's. And he also asked something weird that day.""What did he ask you?" Sophie asked."He asked me if I remember him. I was confused and told him it was my first time meeting him. I ignored what happened because I thought he just mistook me for someone, but thinking back, maybe he meant the day he injected me with the serum." Luke walked to the other side of the table and sat on the swivel chair. And was in deep thought.Benjamin Miller, CEO of Miller International Securit
Engaged With The Ice Princess Memory Serum
After the party, I put the twins to sleep and kissed them good night. Luke, Percy and Sophie waited for me in the study."That serum, do you remember what happened after they inject it into you?" Luke asked.I tried to remember, but nothing came to my mind so I shook my head."I think I passed out after that then—" I paused then frowned.Luke held my hand. "Don't push yourself, baby. Just try to remember what you can."I nodded. "When you help me escape, I think I met a man who injected me with that serum. After that, I just remembered running and that's when I was caught by our kidnappers.""And you killed them?" Sophie followed.I nodded again. "I just remember feeling scared at one point, then that fear suddenly changed into a rage when they told me about killing the three of you.""When you wake up, did you remember anything? Anything at all?" Luke asked again.I disagreed by shaking my head.Percy was on his iPad, searching for something. Then he exclaimed. "Found it!"We settle o
Engaged With The Ice Princess A Faint Memory
Half a year passed but we never heard anything about Peggy. My husband supported Jayden in his search for her, but the clues we got would eventually vanish along with the traces of Peggy.When almost everyone was busy dealing with the missing Flousian princess, I was busy with myself. I felt like the voices in my head were arguing. I knew already that I'm crazy, that my mind was messed up, and only the little one inside me was keeping my sanity.I didn't tell Luke about what I had found out about myself. I knew he would understand because my husband was a selfless man, especially if it concerned me. He loved me more than his life and that scared me the most. I knew he would still forgive me if I told him the truth."Why don't you tell your husband about yourself? It's a betrayal of trust if you lied to him." Camila said while I'm sitting in front of the mirror."I'm not lying. He didn't ask me about anything so how could I lie to him. I haven't denied anything to him." I insisted.Cam
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 102 - Messed up mind
I stood up when I felt Luke was sleeping quietly. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.“So it was you all along. Are your memories starting to come back? Or are you still wandering in the dark?” It was Camilla who was staring directly at me.“Some of it. Maybe most of them.” I smirked.“I love seeing your face like that. So what are your plans now? Can you really control yourself? Did you remember what really happened in Creepy Willow Forest?” Camila asked.I nodded, giving her a mischievous grin.“It was me. Not you. I killed those people.” I answered.Camila let out an evil laugh. Hearing her laughter was musi

"Elizabeth?" I mumbled with trembling lips. She crouched down and stared into my eyes. Her eyes were like mine, silver yet it was sparkling like crystals. I was shocked when she suddenly grabbed my face with her hand. I'm not sure if it hurts "I hate those eyes of yours. They were like from some dead girl. You were so lucky to have everything yet you are not happy. Your parents, your siblings, friends, your boyfriend and now you are having a baby." She said in a cold tone while looking down my belly. I suddenly feared her. Somehow, she was different. She wasn't the Elizabeth I knew. She was colder than Camila, her aura was darker and eerie. "Elizabeth, you're scaring me. What happened to you?" I asked, trying not t
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 100 - Camilla's Disappointment
It was exhausting. Just thinking of everything that happened makes my head throb.I really wish I figured it out sooner. If only I knew that she was asking for help then maybe all of this would not be happening to us."So is your heart getting soft now?I was sitting in front of the mirror brushing my hair when Camila spoke.I took a deep breath and looked at the girl in the mirror with her red eyes coldly staring at me.I didn't answer. I know what her point was. I've been dealing with DID because of what happened to me when I was a kid and was mad at the people who made me like this. But now that I found out my Aunt's reasons, I suddenly had a change of heart."Then are you suggesting to keep my heart tainted with bloo
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 99 - MESSENGER
After our meeting, we went home quietly. Luke hadn't said anything and was just sitting in silence. He hasn't asked me about the meaning of my last interaction with Camila.I was thinking about her the whole time. I didn't realize that she's been sending me a message ever since.When we arrived at Queen's, we went straight to Luke's office where everyone was waiting. Inside, we were surprised to see our parents.Mom rushed into me and embraced me tight, followed by the girls. Father patted me on the head then walked towards Luke. I saw his parents smiling, indicating they are very proud of him."You did great honey." Mom whispered.We sat on the couch to talk about what happened earlier. Luke seated on his swivel chair, cross
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 98 - HER WEAKNESS
The first time I met Camila was in the forest. I was terrified at that time and fear was always with me whenever we talked about her ever since. The second time was at the party. I still felt the same towards her, terrified with her coldness and evilness. However, now that we are meeting for the third time, I couldn't feel any fear towards her. I realized she was using it against me. If I lived in fear she would just keep on threatening us. She always tells me that she likes my eyes. I noticed that every time she felt excited and thrilled was the time that I was showing my weakness and fear towards her. I wouldn't allow that anymore. Especially with the baby in my belly. I was staring at her directly to her eyes from the moment she entered the room. I wanted to rush into her and strangle her like what I did to the young Santelmo. But I felt Luke's grip tighte
Engaged With The Ice Princess Chapter 97 - MEETING WITH THE ENEMY PART 2
I was just listening to him and was surprised about the history of their family with the Wilson's. One of the guards walked towards Luke and gave some files before Paulo was able to continue. "Alfonso Santelmo, your great great grandfather. The most influential man back in the 1970's. He was friends with Matthew Wilson, my father's grandfather. Alfonso was imprisoned because of the rape and murder of Agatha Wilson, Matthew Wilson's sister. Alfonso died in 1980. He was beaten and stabbed to death." It was Luke who continued. Paulo didn't say a word but I could see that he was surprised. He didn't expect that Luke knew something about it. The case file of Alfonso Santelmo was erased from the police's database and no one knows how. I'm not really sure how Luke found out about it.
