Tears gushed out of Emily’s eyes as she held the handle of the pocket knife tightly. She needed to do this now. Being alone in her room while her mother is watching a movie from below and Lucius out attending a party is what she considered a perfect opportunity to finally give her life back to God himself, or rather, to Grim.
She has created a few cuts from her wrists reaching up to her forearm but the cuts were not deep. This time, she’ll be doing things seriously. She pressed the knife on the cut she made with one vein as her target underneath. She pressed harder and hissed. Another batch of tears gushed out. The pain was agony but the pain she felt inside was unbea
The rays of the sun beamed through the windshield of the car. Lucius shifted on his seat as he could feel the heat gently caressing his skin. He opened his eyes and blinked when the light met him. He went out of the car and tossed the blazer to his seat. Victoria was sleeping peacefully and had her back turned against him. Lucius frowned at what he’s done to the family.Emily needs me.Lucius closed the door walked back to the hospital by himself. He needed not to check himself in the mirror. All he
The doctor had nothing to do but let Emily’s desire happen as she will be held in the hospital for 3 days for the observation of her sudden regeneration. He nodded and left the room without a word.Half an hour passed by and a nurse came in with a smile on her face. She asked them to follow her and they did. They walked to an elevator and stepped in, the nurse pressing on a number Emily wasn’t able to catch up. It wasn’t too long when the elevator dinged, indicating that they were finally on the floor the nurse needed them to be. The nurse walked first and the three of them walking from behind. The entered the room wit
Water spewed out from the tiny holes of the showerhead and landed themselves on Lucius’ hair, damping it, though they did not stay there for long; they dripped down from the edge of the strands of his hair. He shivered as the cold water slid themselves down across his body.He’s out of his mind. He stayed quiet when Emily was talking to her mother about the doctor offering them everything free while she will be held for observation. He was partially not in favor of it. The reason was it would mean it would take days for him to reveal the truth. No one forced him to stay with them but one part of him insisted on doing so. He would be staying with them to repay their kin
Victoria arrived at the hospital at a very late hour. The number of ordered cupcakes did her good. If only her costumer had ordered the cupcakes yesterday then she won’t be suffering too much pressure for the whole day. She tried to open the door then panic washed over her when she realized the door to their room was locked. She couldn’t stay inside for the rest of the night. I’m truly blessed.She rolled her eyes and patted the pockets of her coat. Gladly, she brought the key with her b
“Oh, honey,” Victoria giggled, “It’s not like what you think it is.”“I am sure it is what I’m thinking it is,” Emily muttered. She’s utterly surprised at what she just saw and what she heard. She’s been standing by the door ever since she heard what Lucius told her mother.“Lulu, dear, will you please explain this to Emily? She’s getting the wrong idea.” Victoria playfully poked his forehead and he chuckled.
The three of them arrived at the house. As they went through the door, they were greeted with dust on the floor and a dim interior part of the houses. “Well, go unpack your things for we’ll be cleaning the whole house,” Victoria announced.“What about breakfast?” Emily asked with a hand over her tummy.“Let’s skip breakfas
“When?” Lucius asked. “T-tomorrow I guess?” Olivia’s voice trembled.He sensed she was getting worried and so is he. Beads of sweat formed and slowly rolled down from his forehead. He doesn’t understand what he’s feeling presently. Olivia could be worried that he could be either nuts and have a slight mental defect or he could have just been watching too many fairy tale movies in his entire life.
Olivia’s brows elevated by themselves as she heard Emily’s words. This matter that she wants to solve with Emily requires nothing other than tackling it with her anywhere than inside Emily’s house. Olivia may have picked a fight with Emily in their high school years until presently and she swore to never visit them in their house nor lay her eyes on their family. “We can always talk about it here outside your house. All I wanted to know is if Lucius lost his mind or, was he telling the truth.” Olivia insisted.
Emily held the bouquet of flowers in one hand and wiped the escaping tears from her eyes with the other. Gladly, she didn’t wear any make-up but a simple red tint on her lips. Her mind went back to reality quickly as soon as Mister Drake cleared his throat, asking for her attention.“Queen Emily?”She faced him and gulped down, “Yes?”
The words of the wicked couple that escaped their filthy mouths earlier at breakfast has been running inside Emily’s mind since then. If she’ll be killed hours after her wedding; it meant she’d be killed together with Lucius and Olivia; she wouldn’t be able to save them. Emily snapped right back to reality when a maid called out to her.“Y-yes?” Emily stuttered at the petite figure of the young maid - who Emily remembered that her name was Alexis. Alexis was the one that helped Emily we
“Queen Emily, wake up.” The gruffy voice of the butler woke her up. As she peeked an eye open to slowly adjust from the brightness, her eyes set upon a worried look of the butler. She couldn’t clearly remember anything, why she ended up here in bed.“I would like to apologize in behalf of Prince, I mean, King Axl for acting not like his usual behavior. And sorry for barging in your room; I’ve been standing outside for a few minutes but you still didn’t get up.” He bowed his head at her.
Emily watched him in horror. She came back to hell to witness Lucius and Olivia’s wedding and to have a proper farewell with them right after and, she anticipated that it would happen as what she wanted it to be. However, Axl became an obstacle both in her way and in her life. Losing both Lucius and Olivia shouldn’t happen but then, villains will always find a way to win.“So? You’ve got no more paths to cross to. Inasmuch as I, the almighty older brother with an incomparable bewitching handsome look, have opened up a path for you to walk on. All you have to do is marry me.” Axl gestured to himself and dra
Somehow, the tensed muscles of Emily’s body relaxed. She blinked a few times as what she had heard. “You locked them up? Why would you lock them up? Lucius needs to be wed as soon as possible; he’s losing his powers and he’s becoming…” Emily glanced down on the floor and lifted her eyes back to the spine-chilling unusual grey orbs of his. “…human.”“I knew you’d understand.” A smile of insanity marked itself on his face. Her heart seemed to beat in
Emily and Olivia helped Lucius as they walk up from the stairs. Lucius was getting heavy and weak. He tripped over a few treads of the stairs and gladly, they reached the second level of the house. He told them to carry him to Emily’s room where he had concealed the symbols of the door to the underworld.Emily felt a slight pain from inside her and it must be only the hunger she’s feeling. She hasn’t eaten since last night. She couldn’t stop thinking about living the rest of her life with her mother in normalcy. Now that it’s confirmed, the wish she’s been wishing to come true since it all started is finally becoming true.
