Chapter 88: Facing Grace
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)
The audience starts to clap frenetically. My heart sinks to my stomach. Grace comes out from behind the purple curtain and waves at the people in the audience with a wide smile on her face. I am so taken aback I can not think clearly. This was a trap. I draw in my breath in as I watch her approach. Now I get why their parents are here, they have come to see her daughter. Grace walks towards us and takes the seat in front of me.
“Welcome, Grace Mortensen. What a pleasure to have you here with us again in my show,” Peggy Sue declares ecstatically.
“The pleasure is all mine, dear Peggy Sue. It is great to be back, but the name is White now. Grace White. After all the things that horrible man did to me I can no longer use his last name. Part of my healing process is to go back to the person I was before I met him, that includes using my

(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)The way to the Jordans’ house is one of the most somber experiences in my life, everything lost meaning for me during the interview with Peggy Sue. Grace’s confession changed everything for me, the love story I thought I was living turn out to be a sham.The same purple van that took us to the Ministry of Press and Information takes us back to the Jordans, on our way there, Mabel complains bitterly about how I was set up and that it was all a plan to make Leopold look bad. Mrs. Jordan agrees with her unenthusiastically. I do not pay attention to them, there is a grey cloud over me, disenchantment runs through my veins. I am still processing the fact that everything between Leopold and I was a lie for his selfish benefit. Every kiss was fake, every love word whisper to my ear was a lie. Every moment we spent together now has a different
Forever His Chapter 90: Day One
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)We walk into the courtroom and take a seat on the front row. Among the public, I see many Sharks from Leopold’s Unit that are here to support him, including Anthony and Sabrina. Shortly after us, Grace and her parents arrive. She takes a seat next to her lawyer, a tall brunette woman with a silver color pantsuit. My stomach churns by Grace’s appearance, she looks radiant and full of life, she is evidently enjoying this moment.“Ugly witch,” mutters Jareth as he looks daggers at her.All of a sudden, a door opens behind the witness stand and two Keepers come in dragging Leopold to his seat next to his lawyer. He is handcuffed and looks gaunt. Seeing him like this makes my heartache. His pain is eyeopening, I realize that maybe his love for me is false, but the love I have for him is real and it hurts in my b
Forever His Chapter 91: The evidence
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)We go to bed feeling dejected. Things do not look good for Leopold. I know I am supposed to be mad at him, and I am, but that does not mean I want him to die for a crime he did not commit. He is innocent and he deserves to be absolved, regardless of how he played with my feelings. Mabel is snoring quite loudly next to me on the bed, I get up feeling restless, I can not stay laying down any longer. I walk out of the room and I notice that the lights downstairs are on. I go down the staircase and I hide behind the banister. Jareth, Sabrina, and Anthony are chatting and drinking scotch in the living room with a grim expression on their faces. “I thought we were about to win and then the lawyer showed those stupid pamphlets, this is so unfair!” Anthony complains before he takes a sip from his beer.
Forever His Chapter 92: The case is ours
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)I need to see a doctor, my arm hurts really bad, but it is more important that we hand the letters to Leopold’s lawyer right away. Jareth drives at full speed to the lawyers house and we ring the doorbell frantically, not caring that is way past midnight and that he is probably asleep. The lawyer opens the door fuming by the fact that we woke him up, but his anger turns into joy as soon as we show him the photographs and explain to him what they are. With evidence like this the case is ours. After leaving the lawyer’s house, Jareth takes me to the hospital. As I suspected, I broke my arm. The doctor gives me something for the pain and puts a cast on my broken arm. Then we go back to Jareth’s house, it is already morning, but we do not feel tired, our excitement keeps us awake.
Forever His Chapter 93: Nothing to explain
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)Jareth comes running toward me, he is holding his mother with both arms, she looks very distressed. I can not blame her, we just survived a shooting.“Are you alright, Aubrey?” Jareth asks.“Yes,” I reply as I stand up.“I should have guessed Xander Norton would send people to look after his darling,” Jareth mutters. “At least we caught one of them. Now we have to focus on finding Grace and Xander.”“What will happen with Leopold?” I ask concerned that the Keepers took him away in handcuffs still. We just proved that he is innocent, why didn’t they let him free?
Forever His Chapter 94: Fear
(Leopold’s P.O.V.)I hastily put on a clean uniform and then I go to the Command Center where the 9th and the 4th Units are working together to find out where Grace and Xander are hiding by checking the surveillance footage. I walk in and I look around. It feels good to be a Shark again instead of a prisoner.“Have you found a location yet?” I ask out loud.“Not yet, commander. We are checking the footage from around the courthouse, we can not figure out how Grace managed to escape unseen,” Anthony explains to me. “It is like she vanished…” Oliver Parker mutters.“Do not be ridiculous, Lt. Parker, no one vanishes! I wan
Forever His Chapter 95: An ambush
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.) Something is not right, I can’t move my body and I have a terrible migraine. I try to open my eyes but they don’t seem to respond to my wishes. It takes me several tries for my eye lids to obey me, I blink repeatedly until I am able to fully open my eyes. At first, my vision is blurry but little by little I am able to focus and see what I have around me. My heart sinks to my stomach the moment I recognize the two people in front of me: Xander Norton and Grace White. They are both standing in front of me, as if they were waiting for me to wake up. They are looking at me with contempt. I gulp. I try to move but I am unable, something is holding me in my place. I look down and see that I am tied up to a chair, so tight that the ropes hurt my flesh. My broken arm is throbbing in pain and I am unable to move to alleviate it. Grace and Xander kidnaped me, I
Forever His Chapter 96: She is everything to me
(Aubrey’s P.O.V.)Grace runs to my side and puts a gag in my mouth to prevent me from letting Leopold know what is happening.“You won’t mess another one of my plans, Bearer,” she warns me as she looks down on me. She then takes out a gun and presses it against the side of my head. She is pressing so hard the metal hurts my skin.Everyone is looking straight at the shaft in front of us waiting for Leopold to come in. We hear the sound of boots and a few seconds later Leopold crosses the shaft that accesses the mine. His eyes examine the mine and then he fixes his gaze on me, desperation runs through my veins, I wish I could warn him of the dangers he is facing. Xander and his accomplices are pointing their guns at Leopold, although he is only able to see Xander. Leopold is carrying
