“I’m glad I managed to convince you to come with me.” Gordon said as they got into the car.“This is gonna be a long drive, right?” Gabriel said.“Not really…” Gordon said. His excitement was boldly inscribed on his face, he could not help but smile from time to time.The drive took about three hours before they arrived at New York and in no time, they got to NYU.“Where are you guys? I can’t see you.” Amanda said over the phone.“Oh, I can see you just fine, just remain where you are.” Gordon said as he approached her. Gabriel was reluctantly following him from behind.“Where are you?” Amanda said. She was already getting excited as she looked to her left and right but could not see any sign of them.“Boo!” Gordon shouted as he held her from behind.“Oh my God! You’re here!” Amanda screamed and jumped into Gordon’s arms. Gordon held her in his warm embrace and kissed her cheeks before spreading the kiss to the other parts of her face.“You’ve become more beautiful, Amanda. Look at yo
“You should know better than try to outsmart me. Did you never think that I would find out? I’m always a thousand steps ahead.” Roman said.“Please, your highness, spare my life. I…. I it was a mistake. I… I di-didn’t mean to deceive you. I’m sorry, I thought I could do it but he’s far gone. He has transcended beyond the threshold.” West said.“You keep lying, making me look like a fool! Bring his whore.” Roman said.“Please, please leave her out of this. She is all I have.” West cried as he groveled before Roman. He had already been whipped several strokes that he bled but he still kept pleading.All of West’s pleads fell on deaf ears. Roman was determined to punish him.“Oh, there she is. How beautiful” Roman said as he caressed West's wife’s face.“Please, punish me. Kill me if you want, just let her be.” West pleaded again but Roman acted like no one was there.“Babe, what’s going on? What did you do?” Aurora gasped on seeing West on the floor with his body mercilessly injured. At
Three days earlier…“Will you keep to your promise?” West said.“My word is my bond. I will help you, just leave already.” Wendy said.“I can’t, not now. He expects me to show him the book once it arrives. I used it to buy myself some time to look for Darin.” West said.“Why would you do something that stupid? You know it’s gonna be here in the coven for a whole month. The longer you remain there, the more your life and that of your wife is endangered.” Wendy said.“I’ll try. Maybe tomorrow night, I and my wife will leave here for good. Hope we can come and stay with you guys.” West said.“You are always welcome. West, you are doing the right thing.” Wendy said.“Thank you, I needed to hear that.” West said.“So where is the book?” Roman said.West froze on hearing this. “How long has he been standing there? How much did he hear?” West thought to himself.“Uhhh…. It’s not my turn yet. I’m not due until next month, we wait till then.” West said.“Or, Or I could go to Wendy’s coven and
“Let the show begin,” Roman said.“I’m sure you will enjoy this. Next time, you will be wiser in your decision-making.” Roman added.“But look at the stage, the lighting is perfect, the space is grand enough for the show and the distance from the stage to the ground is not so much. I chose this theatre so that you can hold your wife before her last breath.” Roman said.“That’s very thoughtful.” West said and smiled.“Are you not too excited for someone whose wife is about to be executed in the most gruesome of ways?” Roman said.“I live to serve you. However you want me to be, I will be. Do you wish to see me cry?” West said.“Uhh… Save your tears, it would do you no good.” Roman said.West just nodded and smiled. He seemed excited to watch his wife die and that’s exactly what Roman wanted. He dared not to look sad.The curtain was drawn up and some men came matching in with Aurora. Her hands were tied to her back and her mouth was stuffed with clothes so that she would not speak or s
“I told you to stop, Gordon. Did you have to say that? Do you know how that made me look? Didn’t you see that people were watching?” Amanda said as she cried.“Oh, come on. Your boyfriend is an asshole. I’m sure they think that Gordon said that because he only wanted to win the argument.” Gabriel said.“I’m sorry. I got so angry and jealous.” Gordon said.“Yes, I said I missed you and I still love you but I have to move on now, we live in two different worlds, we’re not children anymore.” Amanda said.“If you hadn’t left, we would not even be having this conversation.” Gabriel said.“You’re still mad at me.” Amanda said.“This is your fault, isn’t it? But I’m tired of being angry and immature.” Gabriel said.“Then don’t be. Let’s enjoy the moment, I don’t know when I'm gonna see you guys again.” Amanda said and hugged Gabriel.“Am I not getting a hug?” Gordon said.“Of course, I’ll hug you.” Amanda said and hugged Gordon.“But have you and Marcus uhhh… yunno….” Gordon said, still hugg
“I’m so glad that you accepted my invitation. I’m very happy to see you.” Daisy said as she held Minx’s hands.Minx did not say anything but just smiled and followed Daisy.“I told you I have a surprise for you right?” Daisy said.“Yes, you did.” Minx said shyly.“We’re here.” Daisy said as they stopped in front of a beautiful house. It looked like the home of the witch doctor that Minx admired so much in Seattle but the only difference was that it was bigger and maybe, finer. It seemed more exotic too.“I know that you’re a wolf blood witch and you can’t come to our home because it repels your kind. I know what it feels like to not be able to be with your child, at least, I can imagine it. Minx, I have no intentions of making your life miserable and I’m sorry that I’ve been doing that for quite some time.“I want you to be happy and I want my grandchild to be happy too. Thanks to you, I’ll be a grandmother at a young age.” Daisy said and they both laughed.Minx could not believe how
Minx and Daisy had finished catching up and it was time for Minx to go but she could not move, it was as if her body was glued to the chair where she sat. She struggled and struggled to get up but it was all to no avail.“What’s wrong?” Daisy said as she studied the worried look on Minx’s face but Minx said nothing.“Are you okay?” Daisy said, this time with some more seriousness. She thought that Minx’s stomach was too heavy for her and so tried to help her get up but the moment she touched Minx, something strange happened.Daisy was hearing voices, probably from Minx’s head. “I told you I’ll get you eventually. Your baby will die soon, just enjoy it while it’s still alive.” The voice kept saying.Minx could neither move nor say a word, tears rolled down her cheeks as she sat, staring blankly at the open space.Daisy was immediately alarmed. She realized something was up, but how could she help Minx?Daisy was lost in her thoughts and didn’t notice when Minx started bleeding.“What?!
“I regret trusting you. You could not do your damn job right. Not only did you involve Amanda, but you also did not even hit them hard. They look so perfect and unharmed.” A voice said.“There is a mistake here. They were bleeding before I put them in the van. That one over there bled the most.” Another voice said, pointing at Gabriel who was strapped to a chair.Gabriel and Gordon were strapped to a chair in Marcus’s living room while Amanda was laid on the couch. They were supposed to be rushed to the hospital but Marcus changed his mind, he feared that the police would figure out that he set up the accident in the first place and so, decided to take them home.They remained unconscious for a while until Gordon opened his eyes slowly. He was confused, the last thing he remembered was asking Amanda to share his bed with him and he was yet to get a response before the blackout.“Amanda? Gab?” Gordon said as he looked around the room, his vision, still hazy.“One of them is up.” The
