Sara's POV

I could not believe it, FreshCon was known for transforming the perception of power.

Henry nodded his head, he looked serious.

"Yes, Sara! We are at the forefront of the environmental movement and this means away from home for months to meet with global leaders, investors, and scientists who drive us forward on our mission."

I felt like I was living with a stranger. You don’t know how influential, and rich Henry is. How come Elara kept it all secret? The reason could only lie in this man being frequently absent for long periods.

But why had you not informed me?” I enquired amidst diverse emotions.

Henry relaxed his expression.” To keep you safe Sara; away from the limelight or curiosity… But now I think you need no more lies as it is time you knew everything”.

With a serious expression on his face, he leaned closer to me. "Emma called me to the party on that night, Sara. She told me that she wanted me to come for your sake."

I was taken aback. "My sake? But why?"

    Sara's POV Suddenly I felt an urge to fight on this issue. “We should learn what happened and who is responsible,” I said.That’s it, Henry said quietly nodding his head in agreement. “Let’s start working now, Sara.”I stood up with a flurry of ideas and emotions racing through my head.”I will refrain from talking about it as much as possible,” I said, glancing at Henry. “But if anything happens alert me please because I want to know whether I am included too or not.”Henry understood it all and nodded. “Of course, Sara. I’ll keep you posted at all times. If you ever find yourself needing to talk or have questions, I’m here for you.”He was so nice and it made me feel thankful. “Thank you, Henry. That means a lot.”Just as I was about to leave, I turned back to him again. “And Henry?”“Yes?”“Be careful. If there is a mole, we cannot trust anyone."With grave seriousness written all over his face, Henry answered, “I will Sara. It’s my word.”With my heart racing from the news I walke

    Jethro's POV With clenched fists, I took a step forward. “All I care about is saving Sara, Tanisha, that’s it,” I said.But Tanisha laughed instead, in a frigid and humorless way. “Sara means nothing,” she mocked. “She is simply a pawn in a much greater game and you’re just a silly boy who cannot see the reality.”I felt my rage flare up again but I knew that I had to hold it back. There was no time left for hesitating; it had to be now or never. Taking a deep breath, I attempted to reason with her one last time.“Tanisha, listen to me. Please. You’re making a terrible mistake.”Tanisha’s face twisted in a snarl, her eyes shining like burning coals. “I am Tanisha, your darling!” she shouted at the top of her voice which changed to echo against the walls. “And I will do anything for our pack!”I stepped back in disbelief as she continued to speak. “Our pack?” I said again with an effort not to let my voice quake. “Tanisha, what has come over you?”But instead, she merely laughed; it w

    Emma's POV The strange feeling building up inside me made me look up at the sky trying to comprehend it. It seems like only one night has passed since the initiation of the rite when I knew two days had passed already. The moon was full yet it appeared different.The stars appeared to be much brighter; indeed, they appeared as if they were light emitters while tree shadows seemed longer than normal ones.I shook my head in a bid to shake off the cloudiness of my mind. What was Tanisha thinking about? Tampering with the basic forces of nature like this? What would happen due to her actions?As I strolled away from the clearing, I couldn't ignore the feeling that something was wrong. It was as if the world had tilted on its axis, and I was having a hard time maintaining my balance.Jethro's words went through my mind - "I didn’t do this for Sara but for my peace of mind." What did he mean by that? What secrets did he hold?The more I thought about it, the questions multiplied in my hea

    Marcus POV I picked up the phone, still trying to wrap my head around everything that had taken place in the last two days. "Tanisha, what's going on?" I asked. My voice was firm, but had a hint of concern."Marcus, I need your help," Tanisha replied in her low, urgent voice. "Emma's getting close to the truth. I can feel it."I exhaled loudly, massaging my temples. "What have you done now, Tanisha?"Nothing, I swear, but I need for you to distract Emma while I handle some stuff. Can I count on you?"I was quiet for a moment, not exactly sure how deep I wanted to get with one of Tanisha's plans. But somehow, something in her voice told me this was a whole lot bigger than I thought. "What's going on, Tanisha? What's really going on?"There was a pause on the other end of the line before Tanisha spoke. "Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. Come alone."The line went dead, and I was left staring at the phone that was still clutched in my hand. What had I just gotten myself into?I

    Emma's P.O.V.The medical team got to work, trying to stabilize Elias at once with quick and calculated movements. I stood in a daze, my heart still racing with fear.Finally, the doctor turned to me with a hint of a relieved expression. "We've got him stabilized. He's going to be okay."I nodded, a wave of gratitude washing over me. "Thank you," I whispered.The doctor nodded. "We'll have to keep him in here for observation, but he should make a complete recovery."I nodded again, racing ahead in my head. "Doctor, I need to ask you something.""Of course," he replied."Nobody can know how he's doing," I said, low and urgent. "Nobody. Not even Jethro."The doctor raised an eyebrow. "But why? Jethro's his friend, his ally.I was hesitant, not knowing how much to let out. Yet deep inside, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to keep Elias safe. "Because whoever tried killing him once will surely try again," I said after some time. "And I won't let that happen."The doctor was se

    Emma's POV The door opened, and the doctor stepped inside, his face etched in surprise. "When did you come in?" he asked, eyes narrowing somewhat.I stammered for a second before answering, "I just stepped in," I lied, trying to sound casual.The doctor raised one eyebrow. "I didn't see you come in," he replied with a skeptical note in his tone.I shrugged, trying to wave it off. "I must have slipped in unnoticed," I said, trying to sound innocent.The doctor looked at me for a second and then nodded. "Okay, well, let's focus on Elias's condition," he said, turning to check on his patient.I let a sigh of relief escape. Thankfully, the doctor didn't press the matter. I knew I had to be more careful, though I couldn't afford for anyone to find out I'd been hiding in the room, watching over Elias.While the doctor went further to check on Elias, I kept a close eye on him, making sure he was in safety. Any minute, Ryker could show up and catch me off guard.After a few minutes, the doct

    Emma's POVI sat beside Elias's bed as my mind moved in rapid thoughts of how Tanisha was involved with Elias's accident. Yet, there was no proof I had to prove anything, but the fact she returned just after it spoke volumes. Much too coincidental and suspicious.I remembered how she had acted, so interested and worried, but I knew that it was a game. I remembered her look in Elias's direction, a look full of anger and resentment. She just had to wait for the right moment, and now Elias was paying the final bill.My body was built from determination and the need to prove that it was Tanisha, come what may. I would garner evidence, speak to people, and unravel the truth.Elias stirred in his bed, his eyes fluttering open. "Emma?" he whispered, his voice weak.I turned to him and smiled. "I'm here, Elias. Don't worry, I'm going to take care of you."Elias's eyes finally locked onto mine, and I saw the fear and the uncertainty dancing in those eyes. And I saw something more-trust. He tru

    Emma's POV We entered the control room; above me, I saw several screens showing different patient rooms. The doctor went further ahead and stopped me in front of one of the screens, and there I saw Elias's room. The camera was positioned inconspicuously in a corner of the room."Here we are," the doctor said, pointing to the screen. "We can adjust the angle, and zoom in," I said gratefully. "This just makes me feel a lot better."He smiled and nodded. "I'm glad you're feeling better, Emma. And I want to make sure you'll be able to check in on Elias whenever you want."He jotted something down on a piece of paper and then handed it to me. "This is the password you'll use to access the camera feed from your phone or computer. You can check in on him anytime from anywhere.I took the paper, feeling my sense of comfort rise high because I could monitor Elias's condition from afar. "Thank you so much, Doctor. This means a lot to me."The doctor nodded. "Of course, Emma. We want to make su

    Sara's P.O.V I hummed softly to myself as I cleaned Vincent's bedroom, my hands gliding easily across the surfaces. My eyes strayed to his dresser, toward that one drawer he'd always said not to touch. Curious, I wondered what could be so special in that one little drawer. "A surprise?" I asked innocently.My fingers found the handle and drew the drawer open in a second. Inside were heaps of photos. The first I picked was of a man crowned, an aura of melancholy diffused about him. A lot about him seemed so familiar, yet I just couldn't place who he was.I went onto the next picture couple embracing. The woman's face stirred something in my system. "Emma? Elias?" I blurred my head racing. Then, a sharp pain pierced my head, and pictures slipped from my hands as a groan escaped my lips.A voice reverberated inside my head, "I love you, and you are forever mine." But it wasn't Vincent's voice. There came confusion inside me. Picking up the coronation picture, the rise of tears was to be

    Jethro's POV Three Months later…%.Three months had passed since that fateful day. I sat in my throne room, full of the grandeur of a restored kingdom but my heart was still shattered. Ryker's defeat and Tanisha's demise brought peace, but only Eldrid still stirred in my heart.Elias entered, his face solemn. "Your Highness," he greeted low. I did not even look up. "Did you find her?" I asked without any expectation of a different answer.The pause that followed was all the answer Elias needed. "Nein, Your Highness." I looked down, my eyes welling up hot. I had sent Elias to scour the ruins-to search every inch of the explosion site. But there was nothing. No sign of Sara. No indication of her fate.I clung to hope, tenuous as the thinnest of threads but refused to break. She may yet be alive. She must. Elias stepped near. His footsteps made quiet echoes in the still hall. "I have searched every possible place, Jethro," he said, using my name rather than my title. "I have interrogate

    Jethro's P.O.V.I stormed down the corridors of Ryker's lair-my sword slicing through the shadows. Guards leaped to intercept me, but with rage fueling my movements, I cut them down with precision.Finally, I burst into Ryker's chamber, my eyes locking onto the man himself.Ryker stood calmly, an amused hint dancing on his lips."Where is Sara?" I yelled, my voice echoing off the stone walls. "Where are you keeping her?"Ryker's smile spread wider, but nothing fell from his lips. "Liar!" I spat, my hand tightening on my sword hilt. "I know you're behind this." Ryker somehow managed to lift an eyebrow. "Sara? Do you think I have Sara? You ought to know me by now, Jethro. If I had Sara, I'd leave a message. But I don't have Sara." Anger spilled over and I was yelling, "You're lying!Ryker's men drew their swords and, in the dim light of the room, angled them at me."Be careful, Jethro," Ryker said, his voice thick with malice. "You're on my turf, surrounded by my men. Your recklessne

    Sara's POV I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess fogging my brain. Where was I? The air was heavy with darkness and an eerie silence.A faint splash sounded through the room followed by a cold trickle down my face. I jackknifed upwards, gasping.Someone was sitting beside me, swathed in shadows. My eyes slowly accommodated to the dim light and the outline of a woman appeared."Welcome back, Sara," she said, her voice oozing malice.The woman leaned forward, and a sliver of light danced across her features, revealing Tanisha's sinister smile."You must be wondering where you are," Tanisha said, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say you're guessing with me."Memories came flooding back to Emma's visit, the figure in black, the knock to the head. My mind reeled; fear clawed its way up my throat.Tanisha did not even bat an eye. "You see, Sara, you're quite valuable to me. Your. Particular talents could tip the scales in Ryker's favor."My heart plummeted. Emma's words replayed

    Tunisia's POV I was sitting in my dark living room; only a little light was in view, as it was occupied with dancing candles casting gruesome shadows on the walls. Marcus came in. "Ma'am, our spy says Emma is planning to open Sara's gate of energy for the war," he informed me with low urgent tones.My gaze jerked up; my eyes slit. That gate was the key to unimaginable power, and I wouldn't allow Emma to unlock it. "And?" I pushed my voice tight with anticipation.Marcus did hesitate this time before finishing, "Emma's trying to harness Sara's energy to aid her cause." My fist clenched alongside my jaw. That would be Ryker's death sentence. Failure. Defeat. No, I wouldn't let that happen."We cannot let that happen," I muttered to myself as my mind started racing. "Ryker would lose." Marcus stood before me, a look of neutrality upon his face. "What do you think we should do?" he asked.I smiled, cold and calculated. "We'll kidnap Sara, rendering Emma's plan useless. And this might jus

    Emma's P.O.V.I pushed the door open of our modest home, worn out. The last few days had messed with my head, turning into a blur of anxiety and fear, as Mamma's condition deteriorated further with each passing hour. I walked toward her room, apprehension hanging heavy in my heart. Inside, she lay frail, pale with clammy skin."Mother?" I said, my voice barely more than a whisper. I took her hand in mine. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open. "Emma. . my dear," she whispered, just barely audible. I forced a smile onto my face, trying to hide my tears. "I'm here, Mother. You're going to be all right."But before I could get her reply, Lia strode into the room, a frown etched on her features. "Emma, don't tire her out," she reprimanded, firm in her voice. I frowned, suspicion dawning that something wasn't right. "Lia, what's going on? Mother isn't getting better," I said, accusation creeping into my tone.Lia's smile was syrupy and sweet. "Oh, Emma, you know your mother's illness is.co

    Tunisia's Pov I snuggled deeper into Ryker's side, my fingers tracing the outlines of his chest. His eyes gleamed with amusement, and I knew he was right where I wanted him."Ryker, now that Jethro knows about me. Secrecy," I started, letting my voice drop to a fragile state, "I will have to be protected even more. More men."Ryker's brow arched, and a teasing smile curled his lips. "So that's why you came to me."I smiled back, feigning innocence. "Can you blame me? You are the most powerful man in the realm after all."Ryker chuckled, his eyes glinting with desire. "And what do I get in return?"My heart skittered as my gaze met his. This was it."Whatever you want," I whispered, my voice husky.Ryker's eyes flashed to mine, an inferno of intensity blazing there. "Will you?" he asked, his voice so low it was little more than a whisper and sensual.My heart fluttered at the sound as I nodded, my lips grazing his.
