"What is your name by the way?" West suddenly asked as she turn to face the man who was standing tall close to her.
His eyes swept towards her,sucking her whole and she felt lost for a while but he replied nevertheless as he turn to face the other side "Lincoln Harvey" West nodded a bit,not recognizing anyone with the name but a smile formed on Lincoln's lip as he gazed deeply at the lady. After a brief moment of silence,West turn to him "I'll give you a call later,for now,I have something to take care of, dear husband" She stretched the last line with a chuckle and Lincoln nodded at her. Without saying another word,she walked out of the bureau as she headed straight to her home where she had grown all along,it was time to get a clearance from her father and shove some truths to their faces. With a stiff back,West boarded a cab back home,her heart drumming in her rib cage,not knowing if she was strong enough to face her lying husband and her industrious sister who just got engaged by her husband in front of the aisle. She wasn't sure if she was bold enough to face her dad who she had come to love and has lived her life all to impress him and make him happy with her. She didn't know who her mom was,all she knew was that she grew up with her father and her step mom. She thought all along her father loved her but just had reservations towards her,she should have known better. Meanwhile,Lincoln's eyes dimmed as he turn to face his secretary,Davis who swallowed hard when he swept those cold eyes at him. "Run a thorough investigation of that lady who just became my wife,I want to know everything about her,where she lives! Where she works! Down to how many times she combs her hair in a day!" In as much as he was in a dire need to salvage his name and resume work as CEO,he couldn't afford to get a spy to his side,West's appearance was just too coincidental considering the fact that she came herself,throwing herself directly at him. She wasn't conservative at all,but he couldn't deny that he could see the air of revenge brewing in her eyes,as if she needed the vengeance to satisfy her soul. But he had to confirm if the story behind it was true,was she really wedded and divorced on the spot?? She was really disowned and was stranded like she had claimed?? "I need Answers Davis,get to it real soon" With that,his towering figure walked towards the new incoming car,since the previous car he had came with was broken by that little wife of his,he had to call for his driver to get a new car for him. "Head straight to the headquarters" Lincoln's raspy tone came out,as he sat comfortably in the back seat. His mind wandering off to the lady with a wedding dress on,she perked his curiosity,he has never seen a lady with such deadly eyes that screamed of wanting revenge on people who preyed on her. ⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎⚛︎ "And what are you doing here,loser?? You are no longer a part of this family so leave" Erica bursted out immediately West stepped into the living room. The words though sharp,flew past West's ears as her dark eyes wandered around the room,what was she expecting?? A gloomy atmosphere,where they'll all be regretting hurting her and sucking for disowning her?? Well,much to her disappointment,the living room was too lively for a normal day,they were literally celebrating. She didn't know if they were celebrating the engagement between Erica and Shawn or they were rejoicing over her dismissal. "West what are you doing here??" Shawn came forward while his other family wrapped their arms around their chest in awe. "Shawn..." West whimpered as her eyes fell on him,just two days before their wedding,he had promised to cherish her. "Do not ever call my name,for your information,I won't give you any Face cause you're not a member of this family so I can't bestow you the pleasure of being my in-law" Mr East,West's father clapped his hands and West's eyes shrieked backwards,wondering what next was going to happen. Surprised but yet-still not surprised,her eyes fell on the small suitcase that fell close to her toes, thrown by a maid. Blinking back her tears,West shook her head to clear her thoughts "Well,I just came to inform y'all...though you're not my family anymore,I just want to use this medium to say that I still got married today,Shawn didn't only get engaged and freed from our bondage called relationship,I got married too" Just then,Cicil burst out laughing and the others soon joined as they laugh in mockery. West turn to look at her,she was laughing so hard that she had to lean on mr East,since she was West's step mother. After laughing a bit more,She hissed "I wonder the pauper who agreed to get married to someone as low as you are" "Yes,and she's got terrible characters that doesn't fit well for my grandson"Shawn's grandmother spoke up and her father shook his head. West rolled her eyes "Well,tell that to your dear Erica who is willing to take up a divorcee" "That's enough now West, we do not need you now in this house,you are disowned by this family, you no longer belong to us" "I never planned on staying here either,my new husband is more formidable than you can think of,he is rich" West snorted before she grabbed her suitcase on the floor,with her broke heart in her suitcase,she realized how unremorseful they all were towards her. Maybe a tiny part of her heart had wished they would reconsider-that part wanted them to be remorseful and take her back,but now—this was far from what she yearned for. They enjoyed every moment of her suffering but with this wedding with Lincoln Harvey,West balled her fist as she prepared her mind to get back at these irresponsible people who only knew how to be cruel. Leaving the home she had always run up to when she was down,West exited the front door with her heart in hand. Never was she going to leave like this but her thoughts were cut short when her phone vibrated and she saw that it was a text from her whirlwind husband. Husband>{ I bet they disregarded you,right?} West, whose face was deadly pale texted back "Yes" A glint pass his eyes as he texted back: Husband>{I am just outside your house Wifey,quickly come to daddy..}West hissed,totally annoyed as she grumbled out of the house,she didn’t want to speak with anybody now.It was about 8Pm already as she walked along the tiled road with her sneakers that has worn out.She only had few clothes so it must be really easy for the maids to pack her stuffs in just two small bags.Even if she was the daughter of the executive officer of east groups,she doesn't look like the daughter of a rich man.When Erica was given allowances,she had to work in LH Culinary To make a living for herself and buy herself all necessities for her everyday life.Shawn just only bought her this white sneakers she was currently wearing on her birthday,that was the only gift she got from him.She still felt weak from all the things that took place,in just one day,her world crumpled,she lost the man she had loved for two years and she was disowned by her father.She was hurt both emotionally and psychologically.She really loved Shawn and somewhere in her heart still calls for him n
Lincoln was just staring ahead,acting as if he was oblivious of the girl who was glaring at him."Get off my thighs!" Came a cold sentence from Lincoln and West immediately straightened her back and said "What was that tout you just pulled??" This time,Lincoln turn to look at her and asked instead "What are you doing out here by this time?? I thought I texted you to come meet me?? You ran off”West suddenly felt embarrassed as she turn to the side to look at her bags in the floor from where she was standing previously."Kinda.." West muttered and Lincoln smirked and then,silence reigned for a while."Okay then,I have to get going!" West said and turn to walk away when a voice called from the back "And where do you have in mind??"West turn to look at him with raised brows and Lincoln scoffed coldly " I don't care about you one bit so don't get funny ideas" West shook her head "and I wasn't thinking about that! It's just that....on a closer look and the darkness resting on your face,
West stared at the big and magnificent building in front of her with mouth agape,her eyes widen as she stared ahead.She just got down from the car and was faced with this beautiful structure before her.Lincoln got down from the car and walked towards her and when he saw her shocked face,he showed a small smile and walked pass her.Seeing the back view of the man,west blinked twice and hurriedly ran after him.West walked side by side him as they reached the front door and just then,the door automatically opened and there stood the big wide sitting room.House covered in gold and silver colors and maples, the long stairs at the side of the sitting room which led to different rooms in the second floor.Lincoln dragged on his tie as he took a step into the living room and just then,Several maids walked in and a maid took Lincoln's bag and another carried his suit."Prepare the guest room for her!" Lincoln gave the order as he walked towards the stairs,leaving west behind.West bit her
It was morning,as the sun rays penetrated into the room and descended it's golden rays on the petite body of the female resting on the wide bed.West was sleeping like a log that morning due to how tired she was from all that had happened.The warm bed had aided to her good sleep as it's been long she slept so well.Stretching out her arms with a yawn,West woke up with tattered hair and loosed pajama which the shirt had slipped off her shoulders.West sighed as she pass her fingers through her hair and got up from bed,sliding her small toes into her slippers,she sluggishly carried herself to the bathroom and had a quick wash up.She brushed her tooth and washed her face."What a morning!" West grumbled as she stared at herself in the mirror,gazing at herself before a sad smirk formed."Forget it!" West muttered as she looked away from the mirror and her gaze landed on the latrine and then she knew she found answers to her problems. She used the latrine for a while before coming out
Lincoln raised a brow as if oblivious of what she was talking about."That wasn't a proper good morning!" Lincoln said nonchalantly and west rolled her eyes."And you gave me the worst beautiful surprise with this gown!!" "Which gown??" Lincoln asked as he got up from his chair and west followed too."This gown I'm wearing!! This isn't a gown, it is a Sack! because no gown would look so bland unless it was personally tailored to torture me!" West retorted with a Hmph and Lincoln finally gaze at her face before looking down at her gown.He subconsciously swallowed before averting his gaze and then he said while looking at the side "Good idea! The gown is not good!..." "Exactly!" West immediately supported him."Butler Qin, go have the maids change her gown into something more ' Appealing' and get it done in Ten minutes" Lincoln said as he walked away and West was trying to figure out who Butler Qin was and just then,a young man also came in with same uniform."Madam, let's go change
The air was tense as the conference room regained some silence.Lincoln's demeanor was cold as he sat there with West beside him.Davis was standing behind him with his laptop and bag.Opposite Lincoln was his Half brother,Albert Harvey who was trying to snatch position of CEO from Lincoln.He was three years younger than Lincoln but never considered Lincoln his elder brother.Lincoln cared less as he felt Albert was acting his age.Conan Harvey was sitting at the executive seat that was Always occupied by Lincoln."As we know, we are gathered here today to see what the Former CEO of Harvey groups have for us!...." Conan Harvey started as his discerning eyes scanned the room,his hair had few grey hairs in different spots.He had retired but he only came to the office because of this matter "Rumor had it that Lincoln Harvey here,my son,might probably..." Conan Cleared his throat in an uncomfortable manner "Be into men and not women! So as we all know,we had come up with the idea that i
"Lincoln explain better!" Conan suddenly felt something was cooking up here so he had to confirm.Lincoln threw a look at Davis who immediately understood and Davis made his way to the door and opened it.Several men and women came in.They all had calm but yet terrified looks as they made their way into the conference room."Lincoln what's this all about?" Conan asked again and Albert almost went mad."Lincoln! How can you stoop so low?? Went to buy false witnesses against me?? You're really despicable!!" Albert said and was about to stand up and leave when a cold air blew pass him."Seat!!" Came the sharp tone from Lincoln and Albert didn't know how he sat down back.It was as if he was hypnotized."Dad!!" Albert complained to Conan but Conan was just gazing at the people of five."What do we owe this visit?? Why're you here in the Harvey's group conference room??" Conan interviewed them with a displeased face."Let Davis handle it!" Lincoln said calmly as his eyes landed on mr Camp
"Most definitely!" Albert retorted."You not only bought the other shareholders over but you went as far as selling the company's shares to other opposition companies. I'll bye-pass the case of you pumping the company's fund into your private account which should have not been done as long as you're a major director and shareholder in this company!, but you went too far with your sneaky ways of trying to get your hands on the company's year project,when I say project I mean the Project that’s worth and would fetch the company billions of dollars,The M project!" At the mention of the M project been targeted by an evil egg,all the directors and board members on Lincoln’s side exclaim with utter disgust.The M project was won by their able CEO,Lincoln Harvey during the Business conference festival.At the festival,international business tycoons make business proposals that would enrich the company that won and met the tycoon's requirements.Lincoln didn't make much efforts because his c
"Let the heavens and the earth bear us witness. The heavens as executors, the earth as eye witness to this peace treaty between Vampires and Witches" King Cassian shouted, addressing the crowds, the king was standing in front of the hall's balcony, the crowds were massive, all from every part of Hagrid, in the middle of the crowds was a space that maintained the barrier, vampires at the right-hand side while the captured witches were on the left-hand side.The witches were not as many as the number of vampires there, but they were many.They were told about this treaty, the oldest wizard there, the father of Miguel Cervenka led the witches, and Miguel was amongst the crowd of captured witches and wizards.Some were not in support of this peace treaty but they had no choice but to swear the oath of allegiance after Cervenka,Miguel's father, summoned their goddess and The Vampires prayed to the heavens and their past kings."This peace treaty shall be passed down from our generation to
"Do not spite my dead son, I won't accept that!" Hugo growled."How did you think your son died?? he was working for a witch, I was there to witness it and Kyle and Mateo were also there" Rhysand rolled his eyes "That is to show that some vampires who think have egos are sort of worthless without pride....but that's not what I am here for" Hugo staggered backward while the king gazed at him with a piercing look "What do you suggest we do Rhysand""Let's form a long-lasting treaty that will bond the two sides so they can never break the agreement "Lord Drogo cleared his throat "How are we sure this will work? We can't control them with just written words on a scroll that can get torn over time"Viscount Magnus Lestat twitched his mouth a bit "That's why he suggested a huge wall that can stand as significant agreements between the worlds and also an oath of allegiance""I think it's a good idea then" Lord Drogo acknowledged.Some also whispered amongst themselves in agreement on the m
Walking into the hall of King Cassian Von Vendela, Rhysand and Mateo entered to see the lords gathered there.King Cassian frowned "Rhysand why did you hold this meeting and come late?" He asked.Rhysand had called for this meeting a while ago when he got to the palace and now it was commencing."My lord" he acknowledged, not bowing as he walked straight to the front of the king.Lord Drogo was seated in the very first seat close to the King's throat, lord Armand,lord Molocbai, Viscount Magnus Lestat, Lord Vittorio, and Emiel Velkan were there with so many other lords.They were all wearing blue robes with golden embodiments on them, their hair was long and close to their waistline, and they backed it in a bun.Rhysand's gaze wept to Prince Ollivander who was sitting on the right-hand's throne close to the king. Sensing his gaze on him, Prince Ollivander adjusted nervously on his seat while averting his gaze elsewhere.Prince Thibor was sitting amongst the lords, sitting close to the
"Am I the only one who heard that??" Rhysand asked ridiculously and Mateo and Kyle walked over to the bed "That sound came from her""Call the Physician Kyle" Rhysand bubbled in delight.Soon the Physician Was checking Amren, she placed a hand on her neck, and her face remained bland as she concentrated on her diagnosis.Rhysand and Mateo including Kyle couldn't seat still, Rhysand had both hands folded on his chest, his eyes remained on the physician, waiting for him to make the news.Rhysand felt his hands were covered in sweat as he sat there nervously, after a while, the physician turn to look at them."Well...Prince Rhysand""I'd appreciate it if you go straight to the point" Rhysand cut through as he asked, his eyes resting on Amren's body."Yes, Was it just us or...did it happen? we heard that sound from her " Kyle backed up Rhysand's words.Mateo remained quiet as he just waited for what was to come.The room had its tension as the air hung up, It was as if it was closing in o
"I was thinking of letting the king know of Rhysand's passing, it's been five days now" Kyle suggested as they both walked into the house.The living room was quite as usual as they made their way to the small stair and ascended it,"Just keep mute Kyle" Mateo groaned out in displeasure, his face was stoic as he knocked on the door but didn't hear a sound.Kyle was standing behind him with a pouty face "Let's just go in, maybe she's probably sleeping" Kyle concurred."What if she's dressing up?" "She would have answered" Kyle argued back."I do not have the time to bicker or banter words with you" Mateo interjected but Kyle had already held the doorknob and pushed the door open.The smell of smoke first hit their nose before their eyes scanned the room.Such enough, Rhysand was still in the bed but Amren was nowhere in sight.Their eyes scanned the room as they made their way into the room, Mateo laid his eyes on the table and they quickly walked over to see the items on it, Kyle mad
"Prince Rhysand hasn't returned to the palace for days now" King Cassian Asked Hugo who nodded."Did he perhaps find out that you know he did that?" The king inquired."I sent the body to the old Physician my lord," Hugo said quietly, his both hands folded "She did a test on his body and found that he was indeed killed not by vampire claws but by a witch"King Cassian frowned "you mean, Rhysand didn't kill Caine? But a witch?" Hugo sighed "I do not know how this whole thing came about, Rhysand has always hated Caine to the core and that's the very reason he had Caine banned from the human world and sentenced to Crege where Caine saw death face to face " King Cassian relaxed his back on the chair "I know Rhysand isn't that stupid to do that to you or Caine, he can get Caine punished not killed" "My lord, then who is this witch?" Hugo asked."Feyre?" The king asked instead and Hugo shook his head "We have destroyed the whole clan of witches and their community ""Then we have no othe
Just like that, Amren was living in the house Rhysand had kept her, his body laid on his bed as they used incense to keep his body warm.It has been two days and he's still not responding or making an attempt to wake and the hopes within Amren crumbled even more.The doctor has confirmed that he was dead as he was stabbed by that witch's sword that contains deadly magic and poisons.But somewhere within couldn't settle for that, she had always seen him as a strong man that couldn't fall, he was untouchable and strong.He couldn't die.Amren wept close to his body "Rhy....please wake up and I promise you won't be hurt for a second time, I know how to use my magic now and I'll protect you, your mom is no more so she can't hurt you, I failed you.... I failed to keep you safe but rather brought you closer to your death, I'm sorry" Her eyes were red and swollen.Soon, Mateo and Kyle came in, they both looked thinner just like Amren who hadn't been able to eat anything for days as she kept
All strength in her faded off, her soul lost its very essence, Amren's heart clenched on her chest, her blurred eyes looking at the lifeless man in her arms.Words couldn't form in her throat, the pain numbed her that she had no actions left to perform, no words to speak out, and all her brain cells were too short to process a thing.The pain made her lips quiver, her hands grow cold, and Amren felt like a lost thing.The whole room bore tension and Amren felt the cave was closing in on her, her face twisted in pain before she burst out.All the pain she had been holding in until now, she let them out as her ear-piercing cry ran out of her throat, hoping for the cry to lessen the pain she was feeling in her heart.For it to reduce the weight of hate in her heart, and for it to cleanse the memories of how Rhysand died in front of her."Argh" Mateo and Kyle couldn't retract their gazes, their eyes numb as they turned red."Is that Brother Rhysand?? Mateo, this can't be true right? It's
"Have you discovered Rhysand's whereabouts?" Hugo asked the guard before him but he shook his head "Not yet."Hugo balled his fists "Keep searching and be more proficient ""Yes sir" he bowed before leaving to find Rhysand's whereabouts.Hugo's eyes narrowed to the far distance "I'll get you Rhysand " ••••Meanwhile, inside the cave, The once quiet place was now filled with tension, They had initially thought it was just Feyre but it turned out several witches were also there with her.Rhysand killed two of the witches with his bare hands but the others kept using their magics to outrun them.Amren Watched on with dread, her eyes following Rhysand's every move, alerting him when a witch was close to striking him, her heart drumming heavily in her rib cage, hoping he would come out unscathed.Feyre was rather aggressive, she had injured Rhysand a few times with the multiple blades sent his way, she summoned blades at him, and they pierced his chest, cutting him roughly but the part
