Chapter 31
Eric and Crysta both walked near her and stopped. Looking around the place Crysta opened her arms widely, Lily was stunned seeing her mother initiating a hug in front of Eric.
Still, she didn’t hesitate went and hugged her. Crysta gave a long tight hug for her and Lily giggled feeling the love of her mother. She didn’t get tired of her mother’s hug, which she started getting every time they meet for these few days.
She enjoyed the warmth she got from her mother. After few long minutes she broke the hug though she doesn’t want to. Knowing Eric is near them, she released the hug and looked at her mother.
“Mo.. ahem.. I mean Crysta, what brings you here” she asked nervously not casting a look at Eric.
“I guess, one shouldn’t call their mother with their name like a third person” Eric said and for once she looked up and saw his face in shock, Eric gave a smirk at her.
Crysta patted her shoulder nodding he
Chapter 32 Seeing the person sitting on the bed, Crysta was confused. Her mind was even more confused when Lily ran towards him and hugging him with overflowing happiness. Seeing the enraged Eric and confused Crysta, Steve smiled and thought of greeting them first and he did as he thought “Hello Prince Eric, nice to meet you,” he said, Eric narrowed his eyes and studied the man who knew his identity before anyone could tell. “Long time no see, Crysta. You don’t look aged” he said and Lily was more stunned to hear the words that came out of Steve’s mouth. Crysta looked at him and blinked several times to digest the news and her eyes started watering in few minutes, seeing her cry Steve forwarded to comfort her. Crysta hugged him and cried while he patted her back in comforting her, throughout this Lily was frozen on the spot of not knowing what is happening. But Eric was like a predator trying to catch his prey, watched the different behaviour of Steve from day 1 till now. Breaki
Chapter 33 “Steve. What did you do to me. ahhh…. Man…. Sis? Sister? Is that you? How are you? Are you fine? Did that Robert harm you? I will kill that rascal. Where is he?” Waking up with the pain in his head and looking at his sister reminded Shane about her disappearance, he spoke with anger evident but only got a smack on the head from Lily as a response. “Ouch.. what’s that for?” he asked rubbing his head not knowing why he suddenly got a smack from his sister. “For always acting beyond your age.” Saying she hugged him tight with some happy tears in her eyes. “And this?” he asked smiling, “This is because I missed my brother a lot” she said without breaking her hug and Crysta who was standing near Eric saw the bonding of two kids of hers with a tear-filled eye. Eric saw how Crysta wants to join the family hug but was hesitating and he thought to help her out so he pushed her a little forward. Seeing that Steve smiled stepping along dragged her towards those siblings and clea
Chapter 34 “He is not Robert, and he will not hurt me like that jerk did” she yelled at her brother equally. Eric who was trying to explain him froze on the spot hearing her say that, his heart started beating frantically. His face softened hearing her say that, Shane who was furious failed to notice it. “Yes, he won’t hurt me, alright? He had a situation back then. He was cursed like that by the same witch who killed our father.” She said with her shrieking tone reducing to a whisper at the end and Shane became silent hearing that. “And he.. he already has someone waiting for him and we... we are not what you think and nothing will happen between us” she said in a low voice pinching her thighs not to reveal her emotions, Eric who was listening to her words found difficult to breathe and wanted to tell her immediately that no one was actually there but found himself not saying anything. Though she said he will not hurt her, but the fact proved himself that she was hurt by him alr
Chapter 35 The cave keeps echoing the grunts and some magic explosions that was happening inside it. Thankfully, there are no animals or any other species around for them to get scared. Inside and at the corner of the cave was a goat, and a naked body of a woman with their head ripped and thrown in another corner of the cave. The woman with her black hair mixed with greys left it untied and open at her back. She danced with something like a root in her one hand, blood was applied on her face with different patterns and all over her naked body. She was dancing like a drunkard before a stone which was drenched in blood, the blood stench was covered the entire cave. Whatever she was doing did not help her to achieve whatever she wanted to, resulting in her grunting in irritation. She was ready to sacrifice another life to achieve that but suddenly the air in the cave turned thick, bringing a little smile to creep on her face. A dark black smoke in the form of a dragon head appear
Chapter 36 They reached Eric’s office room, and Eric turned towards Drew who stood there with a happy smile. He reached to hug Eric but was stopped by him. Eric gave him a long stare and an obvious glare. “Dude, I missed you. Won’t you give your friend a hug” saying Drew pouted his lips. “What the f*ck did you pulled out there?” he yelled at him and Drew gave a puppy face at him. “Dude, it was just for fun. Why do you take it seriously. You know I always does that” he said with a pout. “You scared her, stood there naked and flirting with her. What the hell man?” he yelled again with his raging heart. He is having hard time of not hitting his friend thinking about the incident. He got so many reasons to fight with him. How he scared her, how he stood naked, how he called her beautiful in front of him, how he winked at him, how he blew a kiss. Think about all this his fist tightened and his veins started protruding. He gritted his teeth thinking about her blush. He wanted her t
Chapter 37 Lily was not in a good mood after she met Eric who looked indifferent towards her in the afternoon and decided to meet with him after the urge to clear the situation between them. She didn’t want him to feel bad about her and started walking towards Eric’s chamber to talk with him as she had planned. She felt guilty because of Shane’s fight with Eric. She was also amused at the fact of how well her little brother learned to fight. She wondered if he had indulged in any fights previously, she thought of talking with him about that but from last night till this evening. She couldn’t find him anywhere even Steve was missing, and she realized, Steve must have taken him somewhere to calm his raging and as well as wounded heart. She smiled at the thought of Steve helping them so far and protecting them. Her mind reminded her of the first encounter with Steve, when she was about 10years of age. Steve who looked like a teenager came to her rescue when a bunch of boys tried t
Chapter 38 Shane and Steve returned to the palace after their day spent well fishing and camping. Looking at them in the hallway, Lily slowly went back to her room. She doesn’t want them to know her thoughts and she prayed they don’t come and talk with her too. Just like she prayed they didn’t notice her presence and went back to their rooms respectively. But little did she know, her activities were already noticed by Steve. But he chose to pretend as if he doesn’t know her presence. Lily checked if they were inside the room and started going outside, but she was stopped by someone calling her name. She looked back to see her mother Crysta walking towards her with a smile, seeing her mother Lily hissed in frustration. “Lily, where were you headed child?” “Mom? I... I just thought to go for a walk” Lily stuttered in her words and hoped her mother didn’t notice it. “Oh.. ok, you can go for a walk after you had your dinner. I have prepared some food specially for you and your broth
Chapter 39 “Seriously, old man?” Steve looked at the dark never ending outer space and heard a tongue clicking sound. “Who are you calling old man?” “Obviously, it’s you” Steve said shrugging his shoulders, doing some flips in the air and a series of laughter echoed. “I guess, you need to go back to the former planet and no need to continue watching Adina and her family” once he heard that, he felt his heart skip a beat in fear. “Umm.. ha ha ha.. I was just kidding, My lord. I know you are more than handsome, though older than anyone and anything, you look so young and marvellous. Please don’t you do that, please…” he begged remembering the days in that planet. He immediately felt nauseated just by thinking it and pulled his shirt to check if he is still clean and smelled himself in assurance. Cleaning the mess of a planet that got destroyed from the result of those people’s greed, jealous, hatred to their loved ones, killing and raping innocent people and young people indulging
