As she slumped on the bus seat heading back home, her mind drifted away to a million thoughts. The Black city was home to her but because of school she had to leave, this was not how she pictured coming home when she left for school. She had dreamt of coming home with her gown and her hard-earned degree back at home, not broke and a dropout like her mother, things had turned so fast for her, she hadn’t even had time to tell her mother she was coming back. “Perhaps she went on one of her trips with her boyfriends” she hoped, she knew she did not even care she was also angry at her and was not looking forward to seeing her. It has been a few months since her being away from home and a lot of things had changed, she looked around wondering when everything in the city had begun looking so different. After long hours of travelling she arrived home exhausted, unfortunately for her, her mother was in the house and received her with a warm welcome and a big hug.“baby I didn’t know you are
“where are we ?” Stacey asked Jacob looking around at how strange the place looked.“somewhere safe, you can walk freely,” he said to her but she did not trust this man even a little bit.“does mum knows who you are?” she asked him as they walked along those streets.“no, she doesn’t need to know,” he said taking a cigar and offered her some but she declined it.He realized it was because she did not trust him and he felt how afraid she was at that moment, he then stopped at a place where there were some bus seats and he offered her to have a seat with him.“Okay what do you want to know?” he asked her and she took some time before responding.“everything there is,” she said and he agreed to explain to her everything that was going on, he explained to her who Unseelie were and the difference between them and the fairies they had the dark magic and the fairies had the light hence that’s why they were so beautiful compared to Unseelie who had very ugly faces. He further explained to he
After thinking and meditating for about an hour, she finally decided to get ready for the interview. She stood in front of the mirror, her mind unsure about which dress to wear, they both looked good and very official and that even made it more difficult to choose between the two.“The blue one would fit you perfectly,” her mother said walking Into her room, she did not turn to look at her but chose the black one instead.“Are you still mad at me baby?” she asked her.“no, what do you think maa” she answered back in an attitude but her mother did not back off.“okay talk to me what is it, Stacey?” she asked her sitting on her bed.“do you honestly trust that man?” Stacey asked her moving about the room like she was looking for something. “I don’t think he should be leaving here” “I know you are mad that he could be your father….” she answered her but was cut short by her.“No, he is not. Why don’t you ask him to take a DNA that way we will all be sure.” She said getting her bag read
It was a week now since Stacey started working at the company, and she was more familiar with working with magic, especially in making new designs every day. Her work was becoming noticeable she had an awesome talent, she had been so busy learning every new trick to become one of the best designers she had no time to think even about any other thing. She would wake up early every day for work and come back very late at night. It was around midnight when she got home, she was welcomed with a trail of blood leading to her mother’s bedroom, she hurried so first to her room and found her arm bleeding, Jacob was next to her doing some first to her.“What happened?” she asked very worried as she looked at her mother bleeding, Jacob got up and went looking for some bandages as he asked to hold on a little longer.“mum, what happened?” she turned to her mother when she noticed Jacob's mind was distracted trying to help her.“Some men came attacking us, at my workplace,” she said trying to
This wasn't a day like any other day at work, special guests were expected and every worker was aware and they had all been asked to get ready for the preparations on welcoming the special guests. Stacey arrived earlier than usual she had left her mother resting who was still healing from her wound, Jacob wasn’t anywhere to be seen and she was relieved he had listened to her and did himself a favour by staying away from them.Stacey was placed among the first people on the line in welcoming the guests, they were to perform a special welcome invite that involved magic, but since she hadn’t mastered it all well she was to throw some special flowers while standing behind the one who was doing a magic trick which involved magnifying the flowers and causing them to burst to produce some bright sparks with a sweet aroma.Everything looked bright and displays of some of the amazing designed clothes was all over. Stacey felt a move in her belly that caused her to stop throwing the flowers for
"fucking leave me, Jacob!!” she screamed at him not able to turn to look at him.“Not until you give me what I want!!” he said while he tied up her hands and threw her on the bed and tied her legs, she couldn’t move but could only look at him angrily while she screamed at him.“what do you want?!” she asked him but he only looked at him with a wicked smile on his face.“fucking tell me what you want !! my mother will die !! take her to the hospital please !!” she pleaded with him now crying as she saw her mother laying in her pool of blood breathing weakly.“but I thought you did not love her,” he said at her wavering the knife on her face.“I love her okay!! She is my mother, now please take her to the hospital and I will go with you if that is what you want!” she said to him still crying while she tried to move but she couldn’t.“you know I wondered why your mother had that special glow in her womb, the queen's touch and I came all the way here to find the queen, I gave her all the
“Where did you find this” Magdalene asked while she held the glowing glass in her hand.“We got this at the room the ladies and the unseelies were at,” Justin said to his mother after he explained to her why he left in a rush without saying a word. Her mother felt highly disrespected and he had come to apologise and explained to her what happened, he did not however mention everything, his brother was also there and he seemed like he wanted to say something but he knew he couldn’t speak unless he was given a chance.“This is a touch of the Queen's magic it seems the unseelies had beat us again at tracing every last piece of the Queen,” she said as she studied it moving it in circles in her hands.“Those cruel unseelies took it off the old woman's belly,” Justin said to his mother who was listening keenly.“is any of them awake?” she asked him and he responded saying that none of them had woken up but the old lady was in a critical condition, she is not guaranteed a chance of surviving
The men sat at the round table with Magdalene and her two boys Andrew and Justin. They were all looking at the same reoccurring images that they had seen when the magic glass broke and they were trying to interpret what was happening, they knew there was something to do with the images they were shown connected to their Queen whom they were looking for.“Do we have any information about this hospital?” Hezekiah one of the elders asked everyone at the table, the queen turned her head to where Andrew sat signalling him to answer Hezekiah.“yes, it is the place where the woman gave birth, in the Black city,” he responded showing him some papers that went round the 8 men who sat at the round table.“here it seems the child died but then it came to life again, by the help of the queen’s magic, what was special about this lady that she chose her.?” Another elder asked still studying the images deeply.“she gave birth to the girl who is also expecting a child, that the unseelies wanted to ta
Everyone was shocked when Justin walked in the next day in the middle of the meeting, this was not a meeting like the other meeting where Magdalene was president and other highly esteemed people. It was only members of the family company and those who had shares in the company. Some companies were not branched to the deal signed with Stacey and even the one that was signed with the president. That was because a situation like that which had happened where the president got angry at Magdalene would have really turned bad for them if they had all these companies tied to that deal.The meeting today was called upon since the president had already come after some family-owned companies. They were facing trials and the public had begun questioning their products, they were here to find a solution and find a way through this because the losses incurred would be so huge it may cause all the YMDC to fall.Justin walked in when Tatiana had just begun the meeting since she was the one who was g
Using her hands she directed her energy towards the great strong silver door, that was bounded by strong magic, to only open for Magdalene, but her power was stronger and all other power bowed down to her power, her fingers curled up together just showing how much force she was using to tear that door open. It creaked with a noisy sound while it spread apart for her to enter. When enough space was created she walked in and before she could look around she had to catch a breath.She lifted her head after breathing for a few seconds her eyes in search of her love, looking at every corner of that black torture room, she had whips from where she stood and her eyes quickly moved in the direction the sound came from. Two humongous men were constantly weeping at his body but he wasn’t even making a single sound and only moved at the force of the whips, he was silent like he was dead. Stacey felt her heart drop when she saw him in that state, the men did not even stop when she walked in they
After the meeting was over they all gathered for a cup of tea while further discussion went on, Stacey took her cup and walked to where princess Tatian was talking to someone, who walked away and Stacey walked to her before she could move.“Hello princess” she greeted her with a smile on her face.“What was your name again?” she asked intentionally trying to look down on her.“Stacey and I own a larger share in this company are you sure you don’t remember me, Sandra,” she said and she got startled and looked around to see if anyone had heard what she said.“What are you talking about?” she asked her acting like she didn’t have a clue of what Stacey was trying to say.“You know what, I came to see you through the masked face of the princess, I can’t help but wonder where her poor soul is,” she said taking a sip of her coffee.“Anyway, that is none of my concern, congrats on your new position, may I ask where is Justin?” she said trying to act like she did have no intention of exposing
Realizing they couldn’t beat win a fight with them physically Stacey had a quick thought. “Hold my hand,” Stacey said turning to face Justin, who gave him both his hands, and they both at once released their wing which flapped a protection layer around them, they both had their eyes closed and everything in their head was silent, the guards threw powerful energy towards them but it only hit the protection layer.“Count with me to 3 then release,” she said and they began counting, 1..2..3 and they both flapped their wings which caused a strong power that broke the shield and it spread within seconds all around causing all the guards to fall at once and rendering them unconscious.“They will wake sooner, but they should not remember”“We can do the memory spell on them” Justin suggested and they immediately cast the spell on them and vanished into thin air, they reappeared at Stacey’s apartment but it was at night in the human realm.“That was fun,” Justin said taking a deep breath, i
“What a nice place for our first date,” Stacey said jokingly at Justin as they had a stroll in the fairy realm they were walking through some trees and headed to a very calm green place.“I wouldn’t my mother catching up to me, she got very angry”“Enough about her, am sure she will calm down, a mother cannot be mad forever at her children,” she said and they changed the topic and began talking about how peaceful the fairy realm was, since every fairy left it, it had perfectly taken care of itself. They were holding hands walking around like some teenage couple, it could be seen how deeply they were in love. They found a perfect spot to sit on which a raised heel top, from there they could see a wide view of the fairy realm to where the fountain was but it could not be seen from there since it was covered by some trees.While they laughed at some silly jokes an Unseelie appeared where they sat and Justin got up so fast and stood in front of Stacey ready to defend her however the Unsee
“Why,” he asked after trying to digest what she just said.“I can’t tell you everything now, but I can explain everything later when we have enough time, I don’t trust these walls,” she said and he agreed he also had to go and see his mother and tell him about the breakup and his plans.“Okay, but I want to know I still love and I don’t care what business you are doing I just want to be with you. If it’s possible we can even elope together and start off a new page somewhere peaceful. I know once I break the news to my mother he won’t be very pleased and it may be a conducive place for us” he said explaining to her.“I love you too, just make sure you come to my place, I will send you the address I have some good news for you and we will discuss about everything,” she said and she pulled him closer for a kiss before she left in a hurry.As she rushed out of the palace she saw the president walk in very angry. He had already received news about Justin breaking up with his daughter and t
Time had gone so fast, Stacey hadn’t realized it was 11 pm, she had enjoyed spending time with Justin she had almost forgot about getting home in time to get Antonio ready for school, she was sleeping comfortably in his chest while they had small talks of what their life was going to be like now that they are together.“Spend the night with me, babe,” Justin said when she wanted to get off the bed, covered in sheets, they still had a different meeting the next day which was to happen at the palace, it was with the council and Stacey was also part of it owning a large share of property across the world.“No, I have to be home so that I can be ready for tomorrow,” she said trying to find an excuse, her phone was buzzing again and again and from how Justin was looking at her suspiciously she realized she had to pick it just to clear the air, it was Linda calling her.“I am on my way right now, “she said getting dressed, Justin noticed something on his sheets that appeared very odd to him
She moved about the room unsure of what to wear, Linda watched her get confused between two very attractive dresses only that one was shorter than the other. Antonio was busy making drawings that were given as his assignment from school, he loved his first day at the school and found everything fascinating he also appeared to be very bright from his interview and they placed him in the special grade where children with high intelligence were placed.“Are you sure you just going to talk” Linda asked her chewing on some snacks laying on Stacey’s bed.“Yeah, that’s all to it, Linda,” she said walking to the bathroom with the shorter dress and Linda laughed at her.“Never thought I would see the day when you are in love again,” she said jokingly at her when she walked back all dressed up and looking as hot as a diva.“Stop saying that, I really wish it could have been different,” she said getting some white-heeled shoes and sitting on the bed to pull them on.“Just stop fighting it”“It’s
They sat at the dining table for breakfast before leaving for work, Justin was in a brighter mood today seeing Stacey really brightened up his mood, he felt like the world revolved around him. Magdalene was last to walk to the table as everyone else had small talks but they were all silent as soon as she walked in.“Good morning children,” she said having her sit and served herself some hot tea that was in a silver flask, the table was full one would think it was a ceremony but that’s how it was every day, the servants would ensure they prepared everything they family will desire to have.They all responded and went on to have their breakfast. Justin was constantly on his phone he was chatting with Stacey and she had stopped responding to his message, so after every few minutes, he would turn to look at his phone.“Are you waiting for some important message son?” Magdalene asked him when she noticed his odd behavior something she did not like especially when they are having meals.“Ye
