Ricca's eyes darkened as soon as he saw the white sedan that was speeding towards them from the back, the road was so narrow and there was no way he could swerve or turn around.As he was contemplating, another car was racing towards them from the front, a cold glint appeared in Ricca's eyes, they were here again. The two cars stopped, blocking him successfully, the doors of the car swung open and several armed men swaggered out from the car, they were putting on black robes and all of them were armed with weapons." Little Miss, wait quietly in the car, I'll be back" Ricca said to Zephyr.Sensing the imminent danger, Zephyr didn't make a fuss, her heart raced with fear, she nodded quietly as Ricca stepped out of the car, Ricca locked the door firmly from the outside.The gentle expression on his face disappeared as he faced the men and it was replaced with bone chilling coldness." What do you want!" Ricca said coldly" We only want the girl, if you give her to us, we'll let you liv
" Venom, please train me" Olivia mumbled quietly and she was greeted with silence, Venom had turned stiff as a stone and a myriad of emotions flashed across his face.Olivia held her breath, praying, hoping that he wouldn't turn her down." Venom..I ." You're not worthy " he bit out coldlyOlivia winced, the three words stung her like a whip, she had mentally prepared herself for this but it still didn't lessen the despair she was feeling right now." Venom please" Olivia begged" You can't endure it, you don't even belong here"She couldn't let his scathing words get into her head, she continued to persevere, everyone had always looked down on her, she was nothing but a weak pampered heiress but right now she was determined to get stronger.The image of that formidable man formed in her mind, a part of her was doing it to get stronger for him and the other part of her was doing it for herself, she wanted to prove herself to all those that had looked down on her." I will endure it,
The six men charged at Erada but after giving it a second thought, they slowed down a bit, no matter how much her words made their blood boil, she was still the eldest miss of the Kingston family and if they were to accidentally kill her, it would brew trouble for them.Two of them however,didn't slow down on time as they lunged at her, thier strikes were filled with so much force and they were sure that the Eldest Miss would not be able to withstand their attack, Erada stood calmly, there was no sign of panic on her face and it further infuriated them, as thier strikes were about to hit her, she dodged at the last minute, the two men were caught unawares as they crashed into each other, they were still reeling from the pain when she delivered a vicious kick to their lower abdomen and the two fell to the ground, unmoving.The remaining four had thier mouth open wide." Who else wants to challenge me, I doubt if you have the guts" Erada said calmly and it angered them further, so what
" I knew you would come, brother" the man said with an eerie smile, gesturing at the empty seat in front of him.The two piece suit on his body molded his perfect physique, a limited edition diamond glam wristwatch was fastened on his wrist and a queer old watch was fastened on top of it, if not for the scar on the side of the face, the man would have been the perfect model for any fashion magazine, even though he was putting on a corporate business suit, it didn't lessen his menacing aura.The three experts were flanked at Draco's side, thier pose were overbearing, any other person would have felt pressured but the man remained unfazed, the grin on his face even grew wider." We're just going to have a casual chat, why do you need to bring so much company" He drawled lazily.Draco sat down on the chair and the man poured the expensive wine into two glasses, the sparkly drink fizzled in the crystal glass and the man took a sip of his drink." Relax brother, it's not poisoned"Draco's
" How many lashes did he give you" Erada asked calmly, she was stroking the whip and the expression on her face was unreadable, even though she was a mercenary, she hated people that hurt weak women and little children, it was a clear line she had drawn when she decided to become a mercenary, if she hurt weak children and defenseless women then she was no different from the people that had hurt her and mother, the same people she was determined to destroy, the scars on her body still reminded her of her ordeal and the constant nightmares that plagued her sleep." Eldest miss.. I lost count after the fifteenth one.." Viola said amidst tears, she wrapped the blankets around her to cover her body." Then I'll double it" she said solemnly.Royal was overjoyed until a flick of the whip landed on his left ear and he cried out in pain." Olivia! What are you doing!!" Royal screamed as he held his bleeding ear." What does it look like I'm doing" Erada smirked." Have you gone mad!" Royal ho
Erada couldn't find the driver, so she intended to drive on her own to the orphanage, she couldn't waste any minute to call the driver, luckily the guards stationed around the house hadn't received Vince orders or else it would have been difficult to leave the mansion. Even as she drove, her mind was a whirling mess, those incidents were real and hearing Olivia's words only confirmed it, she had been confused at first but now it all started to make sense, she had possessed Olivia's body and that was how she got to know about her grandfather, she couldn't tell at first because everytime she looked in the mirror, she would find her reflection staring back at her but now she knew it wasn't her reflection, it was Olivia's.Perhaps if she hadn't met the boy at the orphanage, it would have been difficult for her to believe.When the boy at the orphanage had stared at her, she had felt a strong form of oppression, the feeling was so overwhelming and yet familiar, it was the same way she us
*Peculiar orphanage**Green city*" big sister, it's me, 54, I possessed this woman's body just so I can talk to you"The woman's words made Erada shocked." Big sister, it's really me, you were asking me where I came from just now" the woman persisted " big sister, let me in so we can talk"She was still in a state of shock, even as she let the woman into the car." How.. how did you do that.."The woman shrugged " it's pretty easy but why can't you do it, big sister! At your age, it should be really easy for you to do"Erada's frown deepened" What do you mean, what are you exactly?" Erada could tell this boy wasn't ordinary and his action just now confirmed it.The woman frowned, she was even more clueless than he thought. " Big sister, you're a soul shifter, just like me, the other day at the orphanage, I tried to possess your body and I couldn't, that was how I knew you were a soul shifter, if you weren't a soul shifter, I wouldn't even be having this conversation with you "" B
*Kingston's Mansion*Erada sent a maid to get her a list of herbs immediately she returned to the Kingston's mansion, while that scum Royal was being tended to by a physician, she couldn't let Viola continue suffering in pain.The whip had cut through her skin and even though the blood had been cleaned off and she had changed into a fresh set of clothes, Viola's pretty face was still pale.Viola's eyes widened in surprise as Erada returned with the boy, why had she decided to bring this strange boy home, even the eldest miss had never brought any of the children to the mansion." Eldest miss.." Viola queried with her brows knitted in confusion.Erada shrugged " he is 54 and he's spending the night here"" But eldest miss, we'll have to prepare a room for him and I'm afraid it's.. inconvenient" Viola trailed off." Don't worry about that, the eldest Master's maid will prepare a room for him, I already told the guards to inform her and if she doesn't comply, they would drag her here" V
*Grove city*His lips settled on hers, hot, hungrily and demanding and her slender figure molded against his, she had lost weight but to him, her body was the most perfect one he had ever seen.her rose tipped bre*sts were taut and aching and a soft moan escaped her lips when he took one of them into his mouth, she arched her back, moaning softly, giving him access to deepen the intimacy." you're beautiful Olivia, so so beautiful"her eyes misted with tears when she realized how much effort he had put into this just to make her feel special, the entire house had been redecorated and beautiful rose petals were strewn everywhere, it looked no different from a fairytale." V..Venom,. it's not going to hurt anymore, is it? it had hurt the last time"a smile spread over his face" it won't hurt anymore, I was drunk then, this time around i'll be gentle"They made love slowly, taking the time to discover what pleased one another and to let thier passion grow and smolder before the flam
* The Wyndham mansion** Havilah city*Vince, Osgald, his men and the Kingston's family guards stepped out of the mansion, they were all covered with blood, they had just finished wiping out the entire Wyndham family.Even though they had only met for a short while, the two of them had developed a strong feeling of admiration for one another." I'm curious about the reason you decided to give us a hand"Vince questioned, he had done his part so that his two daughters would be able to live peacefully without the fear of getting hunted." They killed my son"Out of habit, he brought out the picture in his breast pocket.Osgald's face was etched with pain.Vince frowned slightly, he was familiar with the boy in the photo." Wait a minute.. I've seen him once"Osgald's eyes immediately brightened" Where did you see him"" My daughter brought him home from the orphanage..Osgald was a bit skeptical, he couldn't bear to get his hopes high up." Are you really sure it's him"Vince nodded"
She swung a kick at Gerald before bashing his head against the wall, she continued bashing his head against the wall until his head split and blood trailed down his skull, the blood had gotten sprayed all over her face and it trickled down her neck.Cerek's face turned even paler, this was bad, he had to escape, right now she looked no different from a zombie, the blood all over her face matched perfectly with her scarlet hair and the smile on her face was frightening, he tried using his soul powers but to his surprise he couldn't even condense it." What exactly did you slip in my mouth!!!"The evil smile on Erada's face grew even wider." You're thinking of escaping? You didn't do your research well enough, you should know that if you're poisoned, you won't be able to use your soul powers and what I just fed you with is one of my deadly poisons"Cerek's jaw dropped, the pain was gnawing at his insides and it made him a bit releived, since she had called it a deadly poison, it woul
Venom frowned in confusion" What's this?"" It's a pregnancy test kit...I'm pregnant"She muttered carefully, a part of her would have ran away again, she would have hid the news from him but she knew it was impossible, even if she buried herself under the ground, he would find her.He turned stiff as a statue and a myriad of emotions flashed across his face, shock, disbelief, joy and helplessness." Y.you're pregnant!"Olivia nodded tentatively." This.. This is great news"Venom said before lifting her in his arms, his lips settled on hers, kissing her until she ran out of breath." We're having a baby! We're having a baby!!"He was going to be a father and he felt helpless and clueless about it.Olivia noticed the expression on his face." Are you sad about it.. it's fine .. you don't have to take responsibility for anything, I'll take care of the child..Tears were already forming at the back of her eyes." What makes you think I'll let you run away with my child, I'm happy about
Erada stared at the read text on her phone again, she felt uneasy and she couldn't tell why, she decided to call Draco, why was he ignoring her text?He didn't pick up at the first ring and she dialled it again until he picked." Rada...I .."His voice was shaky and Erada was instantly alarmed" Draco.. what's wrong, are you okay?"" I.. I'm fine, don't worry"" You don't sound fine to me, where are you?"" I'm.. at my sister's place, little Zephyr got hurt"" What? Text me the address right now!!, I'm coming over"She turned to Venom who was already waiting for her." We'll have to put off the attack for now, until I get back"Venom continued staring at her retreating back, she had changed a lot, The Daera he knew wouldn't have put an hold on her plans for anyone.* **** ** The Steele's Mansion*" Big sister, Where is Cerek?"Eight asked with a broad grin and Edwina shivered.In his hands was a bright gleaming knife and his deep brown eyes twinkled brightly." I .I .. don't know, he
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*Erada immediately set to action, the Kingston's guards had already been flown over from Green city and her father would be leading them to attack the Wyndham family.She and Venom would take down the Graham family and later they would attack the Steele family.Until those three families were dead, soul shifters would continue to be in danger.She sent a text to Draco.'You didn't come to cheer me at the arena, I let Olivia win, I'm on my way to attack the Graham family and I'll be needing backup'The text was delivered and read but there was no reply.Erada frowned slightly, it wasn't like him to ignore her texts, she shrugged it offEdwina watched as the girl approached her, she looked innocent and pure, almost like an elf."Miss, please you have to help me, there's a man outside, he's holding my little brother hostage, he mentioned something about soul shifters, I don't know what he's talking about, miss.. please... I'm at my wit's end, I don't want to l
Olivia and Gloriella were the only two that remained." I wish to challenge the eldest miss of the Kingston family"Gloriella said with a sneer." Gloriella, we're counting on you to defeat her, you mustn't let her win"The heiresses in Havilah city screamed in unison, Gloriella was thier only hope, they had to regain the honor they had lost earlier.Gloriella and Olivia steps into the ring." Just hit me as hard as you can, I'll let you win, don't worry"Erada whispered quietly.Olivia's eyes widened but she immediately controls her excitement, Erada had no intention of winning all along.Gloriella screamed in pain as Olivia's fist connected with her shoulder." You're making it obvious that we're only acting, why don't you fight back"Olivia whispered.Erada nodded before swinging a punch at Olivia.A scream rose to Olivia's lips, she had only asked Erada to pretend to hit her, she didn't know she was going to hit her so hard." Oops! Sorry I was trying my best to hit you lightly"E
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*" Are you nervous?"Raven shook her head, her brows were knitted in concentration as she stared at the ring.Gloriella had just issued a challenge at four of the heiresses in Havilah city at once.It took a while before she realized that it was Meek that had asked her a question." How I'm feeling is none of your business, since you're so good at reading the expression on people's face, you should be able to tell what I'm feeling right now"Raven said tartly, she could still remember the way his lips had lingered close to hers and the way he had been so self assured and confident that she wanted him to kiss her." Actually I can"" Really?"Raven said dryly" Then tell me what I'm feeling right now since you're a pro at reading people's faces"" Sure"Meek stalked closer to her until his deep brown eyes were staring directly into hers." Right now, you're a bit tensed about the competitions, you're worried about Daera and at the same time you're thinking
*The Steele's Mansion**Havilah city*"Eldest master, the laboratory has been razed to the ground and all the children have been rescued"A man says frantically.Cerek's face contorted with anger, there was only one person that can correctly guess the code on the door and it was Draco.Not many people were aware of the existence of the laboratory and it still baffles him that he had been able to locate it.His playthings were gone, his hands clenched tightly and one could see his veins popping out.Edwina had learned to stay away whenever he was in a bad mood, she was about to enter but once she saw the look on his face, she slowly retreated.She couldn't stop thinking about the bloody note she had received, '8', the 8 she knew were dead already, and all of them were little children.Unfortunately for the messenger, he wasn't quite fast, Cerek grabbed him by his clothes, before he could blink, a knife had been struck into his cheek." Aaaaargh!"The messenger cried out in pain, holdin
