Chapter 100

BRIANNA’S POV

It’s only been three days, but it feels like an eternity without him. The castle has turned colder and oddly quiet in his absence. Everyone has changed since they took him, fearing he might never return. The guards lied to me – they assured me he’d be back soon, but it feels like it’s taking forever.

I don’t know how long I stood by the window, looking out as I wore a gloomy, dry smile on my face. I felt like the pregnant wife of a Viking warrior, waiting patiently for his return even though there was a high chance he wouldn’t. I kept waiting to hear a car honk, a police siren—anything signalling he had come back and an assurance that he wouldn’t be taken away again. But it didn’t seem like that would happen anytime soon.

I couldn’t help but wonder what might be holding him back. Could they have started the trial and sent him to a high-security prison? Maybe they’ve hurt him, and he’s badly injured in the hospital?

    Chapter 101SEBASTIAN’S POVOnce the police vehicle dropped me off, everyone at the castle rushed towards me, hugging me like I’d been away for ages. They welcomed me warmly, overjoyed to have their king back.“I knew you’d come back,” one of my right-hand guards, Khan said, looking at me with proud eyes. “Even when others did, I never for once lost faith in you. I’m glad you’re back.”We greeted with handshakes and hearty manly hugs. I shared the same vibe with my guards and even gave some of the castle maids friendly hugs.The head maid couldn’t contain her joy when she saw me. Rushing over, despite her petite size, she hugged me so heavy it almost knocked me off balance.“I knew you’d return,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. A lump formed in her throat, and the next thing I felt was wetness on my shoulder. “You’re not a murderer. Those detectives should be fired for putting you through all that humiliation…”She pulled away, held my cheeks and turned my face side to side,

    CHAPTER 102 BRIANNA’S POV The castle had become lively again with Sebastian back. Throughout the day, I couldn’t contain the joy bubbling inside me. I was happy all the way, smiles easily playing around my lips. The other castle maids were quite surprised. They didn’t know me as someone who smiled that much. Well, because I never did. But this time was different. I felt really good and it was hard to hold it back. There wasn’t much work to do around the castle, and if even they were, the other maids hardly let me do anything. They treated me as though I was made of glass. They said Sebastian gave them strict orders not to allow me to do much work around the castle, so they were considering that. I thought as much. And the last thing they wanted was to make him angry especially as he just returned. So I didn’t bother anymore. I retired back to my chamber early since there was nothing for me to do. But before I did, I borrowed some romance novels from one of the maids. She

    CHAPTER 103 SEBASTIAN’S POV That night, I was hoping we could finally make our first love. I yearned for her so badly. Every part of her. Every day, every hour, every minute and every second, my love for her deepened and intensified. I wanted to prove to her that I wasn’t playing. I wanted to show her that I was ready for us to happen. Ready to take us to the next level. But she said she needed just a little more time for Catherine’s death and every other thing to subside. I understood perfectly. Catherine was my wife and people would raise their brows if they saw how quickly I moved on after her death, thinking I wanted her to die and might have had a hand in it. So Brianna was right. We needed to take things slow. The last thing I wanted was to rush her or put her under pressure to come up with a decision. I will wait for as long as she wants. I just hope she won’t make me wait forever because I won’t be able to endure for that long. My entire body hurts really bad when

    CHAPTER 104SEBASTIAN’S POVFor a moment, I lost myself. I forgot how to think and react. I lifted my head from the letter, blinking severally in confusion, scoffing in disbelief as I tried to wrap my head around what I just read.That was Catherine’s mum, Regina Hardwell, the woman who once saw and treated me as a son threatening and wishing me bad. It hurts. It hurts really bad. My heart bled in my chest. How quickly people can turn against you especially when you’re the innocent one?Now I understand the saying, “An apple never falls far from the tree.” It wouldn’t surprise me if Catherine got her rude and mean behaviour from her mother. I wish I had known that before I married Catherine and got to know her family.I closed the letter and put it back in the envelope, trying not to fall apart, trying to get myself back together.Should I be scared? No. Empty vessels make the loudest noise. Those were empty threats. They meant nothing. She wouldn’t dare touch even a strand of my hai

    CHAPTER 105 SEBASTIAN’S POV Days and weeks went by. I wasn’t at the castle much because I was busy with the lawsuit I filed against that detective lady and her minions for falsely accusing me of Catherine’s death and treating me badly in that cell while at their station. At first, I didn’t want to sue them or pursue the case, but that letter Catherine’s mum sent me filled me with rage and pushed me to do it. With the help of the Association of Alpha Kings and some of the very best lawyers in the kingdom, I fought fiercely and won the legal battle. The detective lady was demoted to the lowest rank in her field of work, her minions suspended long term and those two policemen who mistreated me in the cell were dismissed from work and their badges revoked. Which meant they couldn’t work as police anywhere else in the world. Plus, they will offer a public apology in tomorrow’s newspaper for the damage to my reputation. Revenge has never tasted sweeter.

    CHAPTER 106 BRIANNA’S POV Sebastian carried me in his arms against my wish to my room like a programmed robot. I tried beating him off but he won’t budge or even listen to my pleas. I know it’s been a month. I know Catherine has been buried even though he didn’t attend the funeral for reasons I still didn’t know about. But I feel I still need more time. For some reason, I was…scared. Scared I won’t be able to return the love he wanted to show me. Scared I won’t live up to expectations. Scared that my past life might just pop up like a virus and infect what we were going to share. Scared the gap between us was too wide. Scared…I wasn’t good enough for him. But I didn’t know how to tell him all that. I didn’t want to tell him at all. No doubt he’ll get pissed and feel like I’m pushing him away despite all his efforts. The last thing I want is to push him away again and lose him. I’d be crazy if I lost him. I’ll lose my sense of living if I give him up. He is the rarest of gems

    CHAPTER 107 BRIANNA’S POV Sebastian chased after me as I ran into the balcony. I quickly shut the tinted glass doors behind me so he couldn’t get to me. He banged against the door so hard I feared it might not be too strong to withstand the pressure or hold him off for long. “Brianna!” He shouted my name in alarm, jerking hard on the handle of the door. “Brianna….please open the door. Don’t do this to me…Let me in. I know it’s not easy. But I’m here. I’m always here for you. I don’t know what’s happening to you but please let me help you with it…Let me help you with whatever you’re going through. Please…” I brought my hand over my mouth to cage the sobs that shook me like an earthquake. To cage the intense outburst of emotions flooding inside me and threatening to rip me to shreds as I stepped away from the door as if scared of it. It wasn’t until my back came in contact with the rail behind me that I remembered I was on the third-floor balcony of the castle. I almost

That Hermes was. “Hermes?” I uttered in disbelief, my features scrunching up. “Yes,” she mumbled. Her lips pressed firmly together as she tried to speak from the ocean of sobs and whimpers racking her insides. “That bastard caused me a great deal of pain….he broke me and now, I can’t live my life without those memories replaying in my head and hunting me. It hurts…it fucking hurts Sebastian. I want to forget….I want to stop thinking about them but I don’t know how…” She gave into the compulsive sobs that shook her like a violent tremor, letting it all out. She was shaken, unable to maintain a steady control. The moment I noticed, I rushed and held her close, preventing her from crumpling to the floor. I let her take refuge in my body as she feebly wrapped her hands around me. Her sharp intake of breath filled the room and her outburst of emotion

My breath was heavy, coming in short quick gasps that hurt my chest. “S…she’s dead, Lily,” the doctor hesitated before breaking the news with a heavy sigh. “She couldn’t be operated on due to lack of completion of the payment. Her body has been transferred to the morgue. I’m sorry. I did my best. I really did. You need to come now to identify her body and make necessary arrangements…” The weight of his revelation bore down heavily on me like a ton of rocks, crushing me to a pulp. I didn’t know for how long I stayed mute, feeling an acute sense of loss wash over me. My mother. My sweet mother…the only family I had left was gone. I won’t get to see her again. This was all my fault. If only I had gathered the payment and made it to the hospital in time, I could have saved her. She’ll still be breathing by now. Terrible regrets assailed me as hot painful tears burned their way down m

    BRIANNA’S POV The pungent smell of drugs and antiseptics came streaming into my nose. Irritated, I grimaced, shaking my head to ward off the smell. My eyes forcefully slid open to find myself in an unfamiliar environment flooded with bright almost blinding lights with the walls painted white too. It didn’t take long for me to realize I was in a hospital, the beeping of the heart monitor and other medical machines I was hooked to the only sounds heard in the room. I groaned in discomfort, breathing out heavily as I tried to gently sit up on the bed. I felt so disoriented like I just woke up from a terrible coma. I tried to recall the events that led to me being here when the door suddenly pushed open and Sebastian stormed in. “Doctor! She’s awake,” he shouted, appearing relieved and overwhelmed with joy. He crouched in front of me, looking at me and touching me like I was made of glass. He was extremely concerned. “Are you okay?” He asked not waiting for me to answer before a

    CHAPTER 152 SEBASTIAN’S POV Hermes started moving stealthily towards the car, forcing Brianna along with him, his eyes fixed on us without wavering. Brianna looked at us with a helpless gaze, silently pleading for us to help her. I felt really bad. My body burned with restlessness and the urge to do something. Anything. I can’t just stay back and watch Hermes take her away. I can’t afford to lose her again. I can’t bear living a minute of my life again without seeing her. I didn’t know if there was someone inside the SUV to drive them. I couldn’t see clearly. But Hermes was moving into the passenger’s seat with her. That meant someone was there or maybe he’ll climb into the driver’s seat after he got in. But whatever the case was, I didn’t want him to take her away again. I looked at Dylan in a silent, urgent plea. “We have to do something. We can’t just stay back and let him take her away again…” “I’m sorry Sebastian,” Dylan sighed in pessimism. “But there is nothing

    CHAPTER 151 SEBASTIAN’S POV Dylan managed to gather all the association’s security troops in time. With an armoured truck, we burst in through the gates of his castle, taking the occupants mostly his guards by surprise. They didn’t expect us, especially by this time, at dusk. Dressed in bulletproof vests, we jumped down the trucks and shot several times in the air to frighten Hermes’s guards and force their surrender. The order from Dylan was to arrest, not to shoot. But I wanted to kill them all, most especially Hermes. Dylan knew I’d find it hard to adhere to his commands so he refused to give me a gun. Having arrived with five armoured trucks – three for the association’s troops and the other two for Hermes and his guards that will be arrested, we were almost thrice the number of Hermes’s guards. And the fact we came unexpectedly, they weren’t prepared at all. Looking around the place, I couldn’t see Hermes or Brianna. Where the hell was that bastard and where has he t

    CHAPTER 150 BRIANNA’S POV I grimaced bitterly, looking away in irritation. “Let me go! I’m going nowhere with you…” But it fell on deaf ears as he started dragging me along with him to the castle’s exit as though I was some children’s toy. His grip was so tight I feared I might fracture my wrist if I tried to break free. “You killed her…” I swallowed with difficulty, tears falling out my eyes as the brutal scenario of how he killed his sister came rushing to my mind. “She was worried about you…she was only trying to help yet you murdered her in cold blood. You’re selfish! You have no heart! You’re a monster ….!! How can you murder your sister like that?!! You’ll never win me over… As long as I live, I’ll continue to hate you…” Exhaling loudly in frustration, he stopped and turned to me, the anger and rage in his eyes hot enough to burn me to ashes. I stopped talking and froze in fear, my breath fluttering in my chest. “Maybe it’s time I gagged that little hole of yours

    CHAPTER 149 SEBASTIAN’S POV “What?....what is it?” I asked in desperate curiosity, eager to know the contents of the letter that left him in such a devastated state. “It’s from Hermes’s sister, Hera,” he uttered, rebuffed as he momentarily looked at the me and letter. “What did she say?” My curiosity peaked as I took a step closer to him. He looked into the letter. “She says that Hermes kidnapped a pregnant slave named Brianna Campbell and…” “That’s her!” I pointed out almost hysterically, interrupting him. “She is the one. Do you believe me now? Or are you going to doubt this one too?” I cocked a furious brow, a clear indication I was angry with his nonchalant attitude towards this matter. Even though this letter would help prove to Dylan and the rest of the committee that I wasn’t lying, I couldn’t fathom how it came to be. Why would Hera write and send it, implicating her brother? Hera and I weren’t very much acquitted. But merely seeing her was enough to tell an

Hermes was only a few distance behind us. If we don’t find a way to make it out any moment from now, he’ll definitely catch up with us. And I was already tired, hungry, and thirsty. I have held it for long. I didn’t know how much longer I could endure.“Come on,” she said as she took my wrist. “We can still make out before Hermes…”However, her words knotted in her throat the moment Hermes walked into the room.His eyes were dark and devilish, and his features hardened to a lethal frown as he glared at us. Tightly curled around his fingers was a pocket knife. He looked like he was ready to draw blood.I swallowed a lump that hurt my throat and thudded down

    CHAPTER 147BRIANNA’S POV“What…?” The shock of what I heard threw me off balance to the extent that reality seemed to shatter. Did she just mention I was sold off to Hermes by a woman? Not just any woman but the one close to me? Close enough to be a relative?“What woman are you talking of?” Desperation and suspense clutched me as I walked to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.From the way she kept glancing around, struggling to recall, it was clear her memory was hazy. “Uhmm…. It’s been a long time so…I can’t really remember. The little I could see was she had curly shoulder-length hair and wore a floral dress…She looked like those types of women who’ll go the extra mile to look beautiful…I’m sorry but that’s all I can remember. I wish I could do better…”She didn’t finish talking when I left her shoulders and suddenly walked away from her. Shock siphoned blood from my body. I was too way to dazed even think or blink. Those descriptions matched Aunt Gigi’s perfectly. She had cur
