CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Last Updated:
2022-03-20 18:42:08I stepped back from the book in fear. Closing it shut. It was making me fear for the life of one person so dear to me. Kim? Why was the book speaking in riddles? Was something going to happen to her?
I knew she was... leaving soon which hurt me every minute of my life but I would never forget and abandon her. Not even if I wanted to. Not even for Elliot. I loved her. If not for her, I wouldn't be in the position I was today.
In the process of walking backwards, my leg came in contact with a big book lying on the floor and I tripped. I was expecting to fall since gravity was no one's friend when someone held my waist tight and brought me close to him.
I opened my eyes, surprised I wasn't on the floor but in the hands of a red-eyed devil. I looked up to his hair and noticed it was wet and longer than usual. Nora said he only washed his hair on special occasions.
"What are you doing here?"
I left his hold and turned back, walking away.

Though I was just a child when my parents died, I always counted Miss Rica as my first mother. There was a point in time where I didn't remember their faces until Elliot revealed the truth about myself a month ago.But even till now, anytime I try to recall my real mother I only saw my Queen in my first life, not my mother in this life. I knew she'd be the same person anyway.Rica cared for me so much when I was brought into the orphanage. For someone with a bad memory, I remember the big smile and surprise she had when she saw me. And at the same time, the smile died and her face filled with worry as she came to hug me.She took me as her favourite instantly and I had no idea why. I was bullied everywhere I went because of the bite marks I had on my neck. Well, that was why I thought they always bullied me because that was the only imperfection I had.It was either that or they were just jealous of my prevailing beauty. I always tried to find a reason wh

I held her hand and she calmed down like she had been shot by a tranquilizer. She turned to me, her eyes unable to focus on a point because they kept shaking."Who is he?""An angel. A beautiful angel." 'Angel? Did Miss Rica fall in love?' That was the only sensible thing that came to mind. Could a heart break run her mad? She always told me everything new that happened in her life. If she dated someone then she would have told me. Why didn't she say anything. "Were you in... love?" I asked with the softest voice.She laughed again and her laughs were beginning to creep me out. "Love, no, no, no. It was an obsession with vengeance. He must pay.""Why must he pay?""He failed! Failed!!!"Another thing that surprised me was that Miss Rica was talking normally. Not normally because she was going insane but not in her usual weird way that always felt like she belonged to another century. And it was making me think more of that nice lady at the p

I gently removed the dress from my body, like it was the most expensive thing in the world. I neatly folded it while sitting on the king-sized bed and placed my dress on a silver table, along with everything else. The way I folded it reminded me of my mother, Kimberly. She told me that if I folded my clothes neatly then they'd look prettier when I wear them. I don't know how true but I still believed it. I was too tired to return them to their normal places. I was even to tired to call the maid. Besides, I didn't want to bother them so late at night. I wasn't heartless. The party was a dream come true. I had never felt so happy, safe and loved altogether so much in my life. Elliot was truly the best. I couldn't imagine my life, here on, without him. He wasn't a prince but he sure acted like my Prince. The door of the bathroom opened and Elliot appeared. He had pulled on a black showercoat and was rubbing a towel through his black longer hair. His red

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO For someone who was deep in sleep, I opened my eyes sharply. Like a resting crocodile would when another reptile tried to steal her eggs. I was sleeping but when I remembered Elliot and couldn't feel Kim on the bed, I had to get up. 'Did Elliot kill Kim?' That was a very stupid thought. If Elliot could let go of me when he wanted me the most to let me take care of a little girl then he could take anything. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, searching for Kim but I couldn't catch even a glimpse of her. She opened all the windows in the room and the bright light blinded me for a second. "Kim. Kim, where are you?!" I screamed, getting out of the bed. The room was big... she could be anywhere. I turned to the bathroom when I heard her mischievous giggle. She had to be in there. I opened the bathroom door. "Good morning, Auntie Lexa," she said with a mouthful of strawberry toothpaste. She was brushing her teeth

Lexa sharply turned to Elliot like he had committed a great sin. She stood up and stepped back, fearing for the worst to come. "P-poisoned? By-by who?!" Elliot held her hand and placed her on the bench with minimal struggle. He noticed that when she was worried or her thoughts were scattered, she couldn't use her powers to the maximum. That explained how the nurses could move her away so easily. She still needed training. 'Calm down, Alexa.' "Who would want to poison her?! Why?! She's already dying and yet she was... I'm gonna sue this hospital!" She turned her focus to the passing nurses and doctors, as well as the hospital itself. "How did my mother get poisoned?! Someone answer me!" Elliot had to drag her out of the hallway and into an unused room in the hospital but that didn't stop her from continually screaming. He placed her hand over her mouth and wouldn't stop unless she promised to. The colour of her green eyes had tu

He sat beside her on the sick bed, watching her breath slowly and waiting for her eyes to pop open. He had been there for an hour, waiting for any sign of recovery from her. He was so patient and for the first time, Lot waited with him without throwing any tantrums at him. He held her hand and kept looking at her fingers. He always saw something new when he looked harder. He felt her blood flowing but yet no response from her. He tried talking to her and begging her to wake up but nothing. Yes, he was frustrated but he didn't find it in his heart to leave her. He felt terrible about everything. Kimberly was dead and Lexa was broken because of it. Elliot too was also broken but he knew that the bond they shared was stronger than the bond he could ever have with Kim. He sighed and bent his head, placing her hand on his forehead... waiting for something. "Any response from her, Mr Vile?" Elliot didn't know when he entered but he d

Lexa knew she had to see Elliot. There were so many troubles choking her mind, so many unanswered questions, dangerous possibilities... She couldn't take it anymore. She removed everything that was attached to her body and stood to leave. "Miss Halton, what are you doing?" "I have to go." The fear of Elliot gripped the doctor's heart. "I can't allow you to leave. You are still under treatment." She moved all the nurses away from her and faced the doctor with a warning raised finger. "Don't try to stop me or you will regret it." She ran out of the ward and used her eyes and lips to search for Elliot. "Elliot! Elliot, where are you?!" She continued screaming as she combed the hospital building, searching for him everywhere. Other people in the hospital thought she had gone crazy but no one paid real attention to her. *** Elliot opened the car door, about to enter but he stopped. He could hear his name from his mat

"I don't understand." Elliot had never felt so confused and uncertain in his thousands of years of his reign. Lexa stepped away from him. "Did you...do it? Tell me." Elliot's lies had taken him to where he was. He didn't want to lie again so he thought well about what he wanted to say next. 'Did you do it, Lot?' There was a disturbing silence that went on for seconds. There was tension in the air and Lexa was feeling it's weight the most. She watched Elliot in silence, expecting the worst and hoping for the best. And she badly wanted everything that Rica told her to be lies. 'Answer me now, Lot! Your master commands you!' Lot kept the silence going before he said something. 'I don't know. I was angry. I killed more than just the campers that night and our mate's mother... could be..." Elliot didn't want to hear anything anymore. He rose his bowed head to Lexa and tried to get something out of his mouth. "What did Lot sa

Dedication: Naquita H and Kamarley kĂȘ Lexa's POV Yes, I was staring at something in Wendy's house. But what was I staring at? Anyone curious would want to know. I could see Rica's room all the way from my room clearly. The door was closed but not locked, and I was sure that it had all the answers to my hundred and one questions. Wendy had been called at her office, she said it was a fashion emergency. According to her, a major French actress, I didn't know of, wanted a dress made for an award show she wanted to attend. And if that was true, then that was meant to be a big deal for them. Wendy was called to manage the celebrity's dress, since she was a top designer, and she didn't think twice before cutting her leave short and rushing to her office. Ana accompanied her because she wanted to make a report on it, or something like that. Rica had been out since yesterday. She said she went to meet with some old friends of her and the last I saw of her was her disappearing into

Hey guys, I just want to drop another 'clearing' chapter, I guess. I really appreciate these three people that have made my day this month, Mhiz Grace Pretty, Naquita H and Kamarley kĂȘ.And guys, how come none of you are leaving any reviews? Do you not like my book that much? Would you please leave something to cover that embarrassing review of me trying to promote my social media. đ So please, let others know how much you like Alexa and Elliot.Also, slow posting? Don't worry about that, it's just that a major national examination is commencing which can get me in college đł and it might delay in me posting but as I said before, you don't have to worry about it.Do you think the coins for each chapter of our book is too much? Let me explain something to you, I provide more words in a chapter and that means longer reading. Goodnovel expects me to make it 1.5k or something but as a reader myself, shorter chapters annoy me.

DEDICATION: I dedicate this chapter to 'Mhiz Grace Pretty' for dropping two gems on my book this month. You are amazing đ Elliot's POV The book was magnificent. Just as I imagined. Once I reached home I had already prepared myself to open it but I had to savour the moment of having the first magic book in the world. It was created by the first ever sorcerer, Gwydion the first. He had created this book of spells for the future generations of sorcerers but sorcerers and sorceresses got extinct ever since the plague. A wizard, Alizon, translated the book in such a way that any magic-possessing creature would be able to use the book effectively. The book was said to be lost after the first war of the Seven kingdoms. But it wasn't, Alizon hid it in Udhanba, one of the Seven kingdoms, in an abandoned temple and was killed right after that. At least, that was what the story said. Years after years the world become what it is and Udhanba, a great large kingdom got divided and the temple

Lexa's POVWe came out of the restaurant, in big smiles. He was smiling the most. I tried my best not to free or open myself with him but those two hours showed a different side of his.The better side I thought he never had.Liam was born and created an angel. He told me many tales about heaven that made even me want to go there.He said that Angels grew like children on earth. They were taught the ways and traditions, and their behaviours would determine what category of angels they would fall into.Fierce angels became warriors and guardians of heaven, ready to fight at every instance of their life. Super-curious angels with a detective instinct were given missions to do on earth that had to do with mystery.God did know everything but sometimes sin had to make him look away. Smart angels were sent to earth to uncover things or retrieve things, anything that was under the command of God, they also fixed things.Most angels became guardian angels for people, good or bad, but when th

Lexaâs POV In the entire world, he was the last person I was expecting to see. So many questions ran through my mind and I was wondering what he was doing here. It scared me to my spines that he was staring right at me. I looked away for just a second and looked back, to find him few steps closer to me. He was walking to me. I freaked out. He was the one that tried to return me to heaven but... he was also the one that freed me and let me go to Elliot. I didnât believe that he was truly a bad person. He let me go, against his King's commands and to say, that meant a lot to me. During all my thoughts, he eventually reached me. My friends had noticed I was no more by their sides and turned to me, only to find me with a guy. As typical friends, they stayed back and watched what would happen. He smiled. âHiâŠâ He looked short of words and I was as well but not as much as him. âLiam, what are you doing in Paris? Here?â I didnât mean to sound surprised but I was. âIâm here onâŠâ He bit

Elliot's POV 'Dragon Tamers, that's a terrible game.' I hadn't said anything to Lot since the incident and I wasn't planning to do so anytime soon. I cursed Satan. Why would he pick Dragon Tamers?! It had been a long time since demons played Dragon Tamers. The game was deadly and bloody. I wished it was any other game picked. I knew the history of the game and the important details but still I was in the library, making more research on the book named 'Dragon Tamers'. The simple history of the Dragon Tamers. It was a game that was played by the early demons. These demons were the most vicious and terror setting creatures. The demons in this time were nothing compared to the early demons. The demons of nowadays just partied but when the early demons were released from the Pandora's Box and joined Lucifer, the world was a horrific place to be in. The Dragon Tamers was a game made by the demon kings in which the other demons played it as a form of entertainment to the King. Later

Lexa's POVWe had been served our dishes. I was thankful I chose what I chose because when I saw my food, my lost appetite returned.Drinks were served with our food and we started to dig into it."It's been a while , Lexa," she said, eating to her heart's desire.I smirked. "Just a few months... But you changed so much."She smiled. "That's what money can do."She fluttered her eyelashes and moved her food slightly away then gave me a sneaky smile. To say the truth, I was confused at the sudden change in her position. Her movements didn't give me an idea of what she wanted to do until she talked."How are you and Elliot?" Wendy's smile grew wider and my smile grew lower. Even though she talked more now, she was still observant as she always had been. She noticed my dull face. "What's wrong? Did-did something happen?" It was hard to stop the tears from coming out so I used my cold palms to cover my hot teary eyes. I took a deep breath and cleared them. "You had a fight? Is everything

DEDICATION: TO Kira Eyler. I am dedicating this chapter to a wonderful person for leaving a gem on our book. Thanks so much! Elliot's POV I was not patient but I could wait till the next day before visiting my kingdom. It had been a long time since I had seen it, but I remember it vividly. It was recently that I realised how much freedom I had given Andras on my throne. I chose him because I trusted him, but even the best demons can't be relied on. I felt like a fool. My love for Lexa had taken over me. I couldn't concentrate on my kingly duties. But I didn't regret falling for her. I would have my way and I would have both Alexa and my crown. I was picking out clothes when a knock announced itself on the door. I didn't want to answer it but it was the scent of the senior maid so I had to. "Enter!" She hesitated but entered my room. She came empty handed and not in her uniform, so it gave me the idea that she wasn't here to serve me gin or give me upda
