Camellia wanted to sabotage the assignment given to Alexa and make her look bad and worthless. 'Continue with your project, Alexa', she muttered. 'I shall see to it that it is ruined after your hard work!' Alexa was a thorn in her flesh. One which had refused to go off. But at the moment, she had bigger fish to fry. She needed to see Erica and make sure she did not succeed in marrying Hector. 'How many more women am I going to have to fight and destroy before I get you for myself, Hector?' she muttered.She looked at Alexa who had just rushed in from where she had gone. She had asked her goons to find out where she goes and they were yet to give her a feedback. She didn't think she was meeting with Hector because sometimes she left when Hector was still in the office or had travelled.'I wonder why it hadn't occured to me to investigate her movements earlier. That might have saved me a lot of energy. Who knows what she is hiding? I shall make her fail in that project but first, I h
Two days later, Lyncan king Hector Spark Harrison was in his office, when he got a call.'My King', Samuel said. 'It is not easy getting evidence of that night, almost six years ago. Every lead has led to a dead end. And alot to f the people who worked in the hotel, seem to have either relocated or died'.'Incredible!' Hector said, looking thoughtful. Was her t mere coincidence or was there a foul play somewhere? he thought. It felt very suspicious.'My king, should I close the investigation?' Samuel asked. 'Nothing concrete seem to be turning up!''Keep digging!' Hector replied. 'Turn the whole of the pack inside down, now I really want to know what really happened and I don't want any negative report', he said. 'You have everything at your disposal to unravel that mystery. Spear no expense. I want results!' and he cut the call, holding his chin and caressing it absent mindedly.His phone rang again. 'What is it again, Samuel?''It is Erica!' the voice on the other end of the line a
Erica heard the last part of what He Tor was saying to his son and was furious. She already knew who he was referring to as the right mother for his son. Alexa, I shall have to remove you from the picture! she vowed.'Hector, like I said, Lionel will be okay. I shall pray to the Moon Goddess day and night and she will not fail to answer my prayers. She is a mother afterall', she said, caressing his shoulders comfortingly. 'You should also know what Lionel told me the other day when we were getting to know each other', she said and when she felt his attention, continued. 'he said he would like siblings. He wants siblings, Hector', she said earnestly. 'He feels lonely as an only child. We could give that to him. I am sure if we announced that we were giving him a little brother or sister for his forthcoming birthday, it will penetrate his coma and wake him for sure!''Get your filthy hands off me!' the Lyncan King said. 'How am I sure you aren't responsible for this?' he asked. 'Lionel
Camellia was shocked at the sight before her. Why was Lionel still at home? she thought and why was everyone looking at her this way?'What is the matter with him?' she asked no one in particular, looking at Lionel's still form.'I should be asking you that!' Hector said standing, waving the servants' away dismissively.'What do you mean?' Camellia asked, looking scared.'You came to see Lionel yesterday, didn't you?' Hector asked.'I did. When has it become a crime to come and visit one's son?' she asked, looking at him questioningly. Erica may have got to Hector more than she had given her credit. 'It isn't but it becomes a very serious crime against motherhood for the same mother to harm the said son because she craves my attention!' Hector said.'What are you talking about?' Camellia whispered, her heart thumping. Was Lionel dead? What had happened? If anything should happen to him now, then her hold on Hector was forever gone. With Lionel she had an edge over the other women but
The Lyncan king stared at her in amazement. Is this woman really the mother of his son? He must have been very drunk to have mated with her that night.'That is the difference between a mother and a father', he said, desperately, exasperated at her behaviour. 'You can at least try!'Camellia could do nothing but go to him and placed her hands on his chest. 'Oh, Moon Goddess, let Lionel rise that it may be a true proof of my kinship with him!' she preyed silentlyShe kept doing that and pressing his chest but nothing happened. The doctor came back in administered some drugs and asked them to leave the room for a while.Something kept lurking at the back of Hector's mind. Then it became clear. Why don't I ask Alexa over?' he thought to himself. 'Her scent and touch might permeate Lionel's subconscious and bring him back. Getting out his phone again, he punched in another set of numbers and heard it ring.'Hello?' her sweet voice was on the line, at once calming and soothing. It could do
'Mother!' Lionel beamed weakly, 'You are here!''Yes, son!' Alexa said, smiling at him, tenderly. You hing his cheek.'Yes, my son!' Camellia said hurriedly. Why would Lionel call Alexa his mother? Did she say anything to him? She walked over to where Alexa was sitting and pushed her away from the chair and sat there herself.'Alexa, we are happy for the miracle you just performed but I'll take it from here!' Camellia said and Hector looked at Camellia with disapproval. But he could not hide his joy at getting his son back. 'Thank you very much, Alexa', he said. 'You are a life saver, literally and figuratively', he beamed. 'You don't know what you have done for me. I thought I was going to die with him of nothing was done. I cannot lose him, you see!' he said, a tear rolled down his cheek.Is this the almighty Lyncan king? Alexa wondered smiling empathetically. 'Who would believe he could shed a tear with all his arrogance. 'It was my pleasure. I was not doing anyone a favour. I was
The silence was deafening. Everyone busy with their own thoughts. Erica could sweat that Alexa's calm was a bit ruffled by her words. Am I right in my assumptions? she thought. What is the story behind all this? If Lionel is indeed Alexa's child, why is she allowing her sister to claim him? She shook her head. It just didn't make any sense. If she liked Hector like Erica knew the Lyncan King liked her, then an express way would have been to claim back her child or is Hector in this game with them?Camellia was nearly choking, shut up, Erica!' she shouted in her mind. You might make this woman regain her memories and your talk is making her stay here longer than necessary. I want her gone from here, only then will I be able to breath freely!Hector smiled. It was good that everyone could see how kind and motherly Alexa was to Lionel more than Camellia ever was and could ever be.'Alexa is a natural!' the Lyncan King said. 'She cares for everyone as she cares for herself. Of you see the
'Yes', Alexa said, looking at Lionel and smiling at him. 'I shall marry you, Lyncan King Hector Spark Harrison', she said.'Yeah...!' Lionel jumped happily. 'I won! We won!' he said. 'Mum, you shall have to tell my siblings about it. And when will the wedding take place?''Hey, take it easy young man!' Hector said, smiling happily. It was true he was doing this for his son but he could not deny that he wanted this for himself as well.'Yes, I shall tell Landon and Leigh about this!' Alexa said, giving him a kiss. 'Now go back to sleep. I have something to discuss with your father!'They left the very happy Lionel in his room and went out. Camellia and Erica had gone out at some time when they were busy proposing and accepting. Both of them were seething.As soon as they came out, Camellia accosted them.'Hector, what have I ever done wrong to you?' she asked. 'We had a baby and yet you marry another instead of your baby mama?' she asked looking pained.'We had a one night stand, Camel
