Writer's POV:

" Put her down here, good."

Diego commended, pathetically staring at the woman who was being laid down in the truck. Her body seems almost lifeless but none of them seem to care.

" I'll stay back at Baridona, take her to Master and await his next order, hit me up when you have any info,"

" Sure thing,"

Cassandra professed coming over to him.

" Take this...Give it to my sister, Maya. Don't open it till it gets to her, she'll understand what it contains,"

Diego collected the small wrapped box from her, his eyes filled with curiosity but he rather remained fixed.

" I will,"

Placing a peck at his cheek. Cassandra hopped into the truck and soon it drove off.

Staring at the truck that disappeared further, Diego got into his car, taking up his phone that had just beeped with a message, this however was a distraction that made him forget about the box, he took his phone and unlocked the message, there a picture displayed, something which at first took him aback but then his f

    Scarlett:I could feel the breeze, the dancing trees, the footsteps, the man and everything all began to slowly fade from my sight and be replaced with pouring liquid from above. I didn't think it was the rain nor do I know what the liquid was, but then I could feel my stomach gushing out with a thick substance which I knew was my blood. I groaned in pain, the pain I felt was actually real. I didn’t think this was some dream...this was real, the man in the cloak, the woman and the stab on my stomach, they're all real.I struggled to get my eyes open, I succeeded, taking in the familiar view of our house ceiling, the pain in my stomach hit me in multiples that I could hear myself wailing aloud. I weakly struggled to get on my feet, my imbalanced steps and doozy eyes were beginning to get the best of me, I clutched my bleeding stomach, my blood oozing uncontrollably that it already stained my shirt and my hand, even rolling down to my legs. I struggled to breath, my mind ignorant of

    I never thought I'd find myself in this awkward situation. I sat on the couch, several shades of eyes glancing at me while I tried to hide my pain from reflecting.The man who had helped me earlier entered the room with a mug, internally, I was thankful he had come to distract the pairs of eyes that won't stop obliging their gaze at me. " Take this. It should ease the pain a bit,"I didn't hesitate, I collected the mug and immediately gulped down the weird sour taste of the black juice. " Thank you,"I appreciated them while handing the cup back to him. Now, I feel a lot better all thanks to this guardian angel who was sent to save me.Initially, after the narrow escape from the attack of Mr Strange, my guardian angel had brought me here to his place and somehow while I was still unconscious, he had helped me treat my wound. I honestly couldn't be more thankful." Would you like to eat something or would you prefer sleeping instead?"A man who I guessed was the father of the one wh

    " You're an elf, Scarlett."It wouldn't stop echoing in my head, the more the voice echoed, the more pain I felt. It seemed impossible! Everything seemed overwhelming. Who would have thought that I, Scarlett Brooks would one day turn out to be like those fictional characters from their fantasy world in the books I read. An elf? I am...an elf?With a sickening breath, I gasped and forced my eyes open. Despite the temperature of the room, I felt hot within myself, my body covered with my heat that it looked like I had been bathed. I was laying on the bed, I looked around, Hermie wasn't there anymore and in the cause of gazing through the room, my eyes landed on the sparkling long mirror that relaxed against the wall, calling me to come over to it. But what if all that I heard and saw were just a dream? None of them could be real, for all I knew, it could be one of those spooky nightmares I get. However, there was only one way to confirm my thoughts. I climbed out of the bed, once my

    I was out there, struggling and dying just to make sure I find my mom in hope that Max was surviving well, in hope that he wasn't getting too worked out but upon arriving back from my death hole, this was what Max had to offer me?" Oops! We should probably..."Fernando was saying but I cut him off by scampering over to them, my footsteps were loud enough for them to pull away from each other. I honestly couldn't tell the emotions that were gathered in Max's eyes the moment he saw me. My tears occupied my eyes as I stared at his drab ones. Sincerely, with the way he looked, I could tell he had been crying for long, he had been worried. " Scarlett," A glint of happiness gushed through him that he even dashed over to me for a hug but then... I did something I didn't mean, I stepped away from him. Max noticed and his once worried look crossed his face." Is this what you've been doing while I've been away?"I couldn't find the heart to keep talking. I didn't know what else to feel abou

    Hermie had mentioned it to me that in order for me to understand myself, I would need my mate but sadly she said he needed me more than I needed him. I had forced her to tell me who he was but she refused yet she gave a hint saying my mate was a person I wouldn't hesitate to die for but...The man in front of me was Mr Strange. The mysterious murder who I had sworn to kill if I ever had the chance to.There was no way I would die for a monster like him." Beast! You're a beast!"I yelled, struggling to get away from him. I didn't want him, he was nothing but a callous beast. I don't want him!." I am not a beast... everything I do…I do it because of you,"He motioned closer to me and I still did my best to stay away from him but I earned a sharp pain in return. " You are hurt...I... could heal you,"" Don't touch me,"I couldn't believe it. Everything seemed to be happening in an unbelievable way. Mr Strange paused for a moment, I could notice the way he breathed with ease and gentle

At first, I didn't know what was happening but as I slowly regained consciousness I remembered and somehow understood what could be happening.Jones found me, I remember him trying to help, I remember telling him about my mother and then after that, I suddenly became unconscious. The floor I was lying on was beginning to get cold and from a distance, footsteps slowly began to approach towards me along with whimpering.I was shaken with fright realizing I had once again been kidnapped. Jones! That scumbag. What did he do to me?" Jones!"I knew someone was here with me because the footsteps that I heard earlier had stopped just close to me but still the whimpering continued. Suddenly, the dark place illuminated with a dim light, looking down I saw a pair of black well designed shoes, beside it w

    " I don't know what to say to you Scarlett, I feel so ashamed of myself,"Ever since Jones had left, my mom had barely spoken to me, all she did was whisper how sorry she was.Currently, we were seated apart due to how she would hurdle away from me. " But why didn't you tell me all these while?"I managed to bring my voice to life, apparently, my whole body was soaked with my tears but still I couldn't control them from stopping. How many shocks had I received these past few days?I knew they were more coming, they were infinity, unstoppable. " If you're not my mother then who is?"She sniffed, tugging her already wet hair away from her face. " I don't know,"" If Max isn't my brother then who is he?"" Scarlett..." She whispered, crawling over to where I was. The pain in those eyes of hers were evident, one that wanted me to break down again, I mean how can I ever deny this woman as my mother, I couldn't even think of it, after the hell we all went through together."

    Scarlett:I thought I had escaped not until I realized that my mother was nowhere to be seen. I was standing in the middle of the road, watching them haul my mother away while I stood there doing nothing. She cried and begged for help but it turned out I just couldn't sacrifice myself for her. And soon, they faded into the dust. " Mother!"I yelled, guilt filling my chest. I expected her whimpers and yells but what I got in response was rather different and the frightening image of him attacked me like it was an ambushed. He was here again but not as Mr Strange or the creepy man but as his normal self, the normal man I had fallen head over heels for. " Boss Martinez,"He stepped further to me, his beautiful hazel eyes pinned on my face, flattering my stomach with his deep intense gaze. As much as I wanted to look away and get away from him I found myself craving for his touch. " I know you may probably hate me now but..."" I don't hate you," I didn't know when or why I had said

    I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo

    Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at

    Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f

    Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't.

    Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf

Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona!

His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.

Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
