A soldier just showed up out of their tent and told Arden that his father was back and that his mother wanted him to go back into the mansion for the party.Even though he told them not to disturb them, he let it slip since his father had just come home.As soon as Erina heard the news while they were in the middle of traveling on their way back home, she remembered her mother.Should I tell my mother that Arden’s father is now here? And I’m curious why she’s asking about it. Does she know him?Erina started to get curious, but at the same time, she was nervous about what Arden’s father would think of her, knowing that Arden’s mother doesn’t approve of her. She’s thinking that Arden’s father is just the spitting image of Arden’s personality as well.As soon as they arrived at the mansion, Arden put his hand around her waist while they were entering the house, which shocked Erina for a bit. She’s not used to Arden being clingy to her in public.She’s used to him only getting touchy whe
When the darkness slowly crept in, the grand party started as the royals arrived in their luxurious limousines and fancy clothes with a theme of masquerade. Celestia is so creative when it comes to parties that she would make them extra enchanting and worth the experience.The ladies were dressed in big ball gowns that reminded them of the medieval period, including the men, who were also looking princely to match the girls.Erina's gown was personally chosen by Arden because he wanted it to match his own outfit. Her hair was down, and the waves of her hair were more enhanced, making her look like a goddess of beauty in its mortal form.Erina saw the sparks in Arden's eyes as he looked at her with parted lips. She licked her lower lip and went to him. He offered his arm as she put her hand there and breathed heavily."You look so beautiful tonight," he whispered hoarsely.Erina glanced at Arden, trying not to flush about it when she was obviously failing hard. Arden crouched and gave
Erina froze when she heard her real surname, which is the surname of her mother, Aurora.She doesn’t know how to react. She’s scared, and at the same time, the only thing on her mind is that someone already knows the truth about her.Relax Erina…"Relax, Erina," the words of the woman joined what was on her mind and made her more confused.She looked at her curiously and intently in the mirror, trying to see the woman behind the red-hooded cape."I don’t have much time to explain everything to you, but you need to listen carefully, Erina," she said, which made Erina stand there confusedly while she could feel the tension that she was about to express."Aurora Evergreen isn’t your mother, and you are not her daughter," the woman said, which made Erina’s eyes widen.What? "You are the lost daughter of the Remingtons. You are Arena Remington."Erina’s shock tripled as soon as she heard the name which kept on making her curious for the longest days that she stayed at the Gunner’s mansion
"Which means Erina is a witch?" Arienda gasped. The visitors were all shocked by what they just saw. They were now gathered on the other side of the mansion with lights on as they started talking about what happened.Mrs. Remington was so disappointed. She doesn’t know what to feel after finding out that Erina is part of the group that murdered her daughter."I really knew it! There’s something about that girl, and it now shows! She is cunning! She used the potion in order to make my son go madly and crazily in love with her! Look at how Arden has been behaving lately! He’s been so clingy to her when it’s clear to him that he only wants her as the bearer of his child!" Celestia ranted while the visitors, Jacob Gunner, and the Remingtons could hear the wrath in her voice.Mrs. Remington’s tears pooled in her eyes, and she felt bad knowing that there was still a witch left after what they had been through, who even looked exactly like the daughter.Erikson caressed her back while he di
"Son, if she’s truly a witch and you hate her so much, why do you need to search for her body? Because if she truly let herself fall off the cliff, then we should be happy that she’s finally gone.""What she did is so unforgivable that even death isn’t what’s right for her, Mama," Arden’s voice thundered.Celestia shut her mouth as she saw the rage in his eyes that he couldn’t seem to hide. After the big scandalous incident last night, when tomorrow came, Arden gathered his soldiers in search of the body of Erina on the cliff and to investigate more about the witches.She can see the rage in him, but she’s a bit bothered by why he’s still trying to find the missing body if Erina is truly dead.Oh, I hope he’s not doing this because he still cares for that woman! But with Arden’s anger right now, he’s not satisfied, even though he saw it in his eyes that Erina let herself fall off the cliff.She doesn’t feel any remorse for exposing her last night because of what her family suffered du
"You're here to pick up Draven?" the woman asked.Erina smiled and nodded. The woman glanced inside the room and called Draven. "Your Mom is here, Draven!" she announced. Erina tilted her head to see the reaction of her son, who was now picking up his things and getting ready to come out.The woman who's the teacher of Draven looked at Erina again."I am amazed that your son is very smart for his age! He's very outstanding for a five-year-old boy."Erina smiled. "Thank you..." Draven walked to them and bid goodbye to her teacher. Erina held his hand, and they started walking.When Erina fell on the cliff, during the moment she was falling, she remembered one of the rituals Aurora taught her in order to teleport to other towns.She didn't know what happened, but when she fell into the garden and the petals exploded after she lay on the ground, she realized that the ritual she made probably worked.The town looked so modernized, and it was filled with green surroundings. She's in the
"Draven, I'll go to work now. You must behave, alright?" Erina said this to her son, who nodded while holding a slice of his favorite pie."Don't worry, Rina, we will take care of him, right, Draven?" Sancha smiled at him as she rested her hand on his small shoulders and tilted her head to see his expression clearly."Right, grandma! We'll play all day!" he said enthusiastically, while the elders nodded."Oh, we’ll watch a movie and eat pies!" his grandpa said.Erina chuckled and kissed his cheek to say goodbye. The elders assured her as well that they would take care of him while she was working.It has been her everyday cycle. She has managed the farm of the Sanders for the past few years, and she also works for a company where their farm has been offered to collaborate with them.She blended well with humans. After she found out that she’s Arena Remington, it would always haunt her that she’s been with her family all those times she was pretending to be Erina Riverdale, that she ha
"Sir Arscott wants you in his office now, ma'am," her secretary said as soon as she went into her office."Right now?" she confirmed.The lady nodded. "Yes, Ma'am..."Erina did all she could to calm herself down while she was in the comfort room because she didn't want to make a fuss about Aiden Arscott having a lot of resemblance to Arden Gunner. She wanted to make herself believe that those two people were different from each other and that she was just overthinking things.She ran away from her past, and now that someone has shown up, it's bringing back a lot of memories she thought she had already buried.She tried to act composed while she was nearing the office of the newly elected CEO. She faced the door as she fixed her skirt and her tube top, including the black coat she was wearing. She also caressed her high ponytail hair as she put her hand on the handle of the doorknob and slowly rotated it to open.She slipped herself in and closed the door as she saw him on his table, r
