CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

2022-03-09 12:35:23Lexa's POV
I had a terrible feeling about staying outside. It felt as if every evil spirit in there was watching me. I had no control over my magical powers and Elliot wasn't by my side, as much as I wanted him to be. I felt like a naked girl in the middle of Timesquare.
I needed somewhere to hide. I looked around me and found nothing. The trees weren't going to be of much help. I was afraid of walking into the darker part of the forest, especially when I was an angel, but it was the only choice I had.
I left the ruins of the cottage and the spot Elvador once sat and went towards the inner part of the forest. It was darker, eerie and more concentrated with evil spirits. I could hear their cries and feel the pain of many lost unsettled lives.
I had a feeling that once I entered, there was no coming out.
I took my chances and pushed my way through the thick barks of the trees.
My goal was to find somewhere safe and not too open for anyon

"The reasons your eyes sparkle just like a light is being shined, on two emeralds that are beautiful, is that you are the true meaning of love and beauty. I will be longing for that gentle touch, and that your warm embrace. If you are near me, I yearn for the hug, I am longing for that everlasting kiss when you lay next to me. Your personality is unable to be matched. These are the reasons you are perfect, and have been perfect. I will never stop loving you. The easiest thing I have ever done, is listening to your singing heart. A song was heard by my ears, my eyes sang along. The words were muttered by my lips, cuddled in your arms, I heard the whispering of charms." Alexa turned around. Her bright white angel glow decreased reasonably. "It took me hundred years Alexa but I memorized this poem just for you. Waiting for the right time." Alexa's eyes turned from golden to her normal eye colour. Liam stepped in front of Alexa and glared at him. "It is done. You cannot

My heart started to race when I saw his fingers move. I sat up on the bed and held his hand, while checking his temperature."His temperature has gone down."Nora stood up from the bed, cleaning her hands up after a job well done. She carried the cloth and bucket of water that she used to cool Elliot."Inform sir I was here. I'll take my leave."I wanted to object and hold her down but when I tried to move, someone's hand grabbed mine from behind and pulled me to the bed.I was in shock but when I opened my eyes to see who I was on. It was him, with the most beautiful red eyes. Red eyes? That can't be right.Elliot pushed me off him like he just saw a ghost. I got confused. I checked the room for Nora but she was already gone."A-Alexa? It's not possible."Oh, he was surprised to me. That was a better explanation.I crawled up to meet him on the bed and sat on his legs. He looked like a lost little puppy.I unbutt

Hey beautiful readers. There are many things I want to clear out and it would be unfair if I don't because I think you're all amazing and you deserve it. This book is not a poor class written book like some books I've seen on Goodnovel. You are a first class reader and a first class reader deserves a first class book like #MBTD. So here they are: Alexa has green emerald eyes and Elliot has red eyes, except their brighter now so don't forget that and don't expect to see anything different. Sorry if there's any confusion especially before this note. You won't see anymore of <> in the story but if they're in thought I'll either put it in italics or '' but mostly ''. If you see any other mistakes ignore it, there's a 95% chance you won't see more again. I don't think there's more to say but as it is now, things can only get better. So gear up because the lover birds' are just about to start their crazy ride. Stay on the ride and stay

She held my hands and looked at them, like she was trying to read my destiny through the little details of my handprints. Her smile died down and that worried me. What did she see? "You'll tell me the truth and the truth only Elliot, is that clear?" I hesitantly nodded, fearing what she would do. "How did you meet my Lexa?" 'In this life or the one before?' Lot said laughing. I shut him up and faced Kimberly. "She was a maid in my mansion for a few weeks and..." Oops. I just remembered that Alexa told me not to ever mention to her mother that she worked as a maid. I wanted to reverse my statement but when I looked at Kim, she didn't look surprised so I asked a question instead. "You... knew?" She smiled. "I always knew. Lexa was not so good at hiding things." I smirked. "That's true." Kim said nothing more but impatiently waited for me to go on. "I actually knew her a long time ago and when I saw her, old memories returned and since then we've

I 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

Hey guys, this is not a chapter so mind me naming this as chapter 46. I can't make this an additional note chapter because my editors will not accept it. So here I go.Goodnovel had a nice start and I'm still very connected to it and you, but I've decided to look elsewhere since it seems it's incompatible with me. I know I've been unfair to you guys but I've been quite unfair to myself as well.I went ahead and took the pain to publish on other sites. So far, I've tried it on eleven different sites. It's still under review for comtract, but from now, I will be only be posting chapters on those sites.It really hurts me because my best readers are here but what can I do. My editor is very unresponsive and they're not to giving me what I've worked so hard for.

Dedication: Naquita H and Kamarley kê 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 kê.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. 😂 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 😳 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. Because I want more info in a go. I hope you understand what I

DEDICATION: I dedicate this chapter to 'Mhiz Grace Pretty' for dropping two gems on my book this month. You are amazing 😘 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

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

Lexa’s 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 didn’t 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. “Hi…” He looked short of words and I was as well but not as much as him. “Liam, what are you doing in Paris? Here?” I didn’t mean to sound surprised but I was. “I’m here on…” 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
