Chapter 15. The Request.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I was watching the news when I saw something that startled me, no it didn't startle me, it pissed me off, I didn't expect my mood swings to snap just because of this but I guess anyone would have been furious. I ran to his study and barged in unannounced, regardless of this his eyes were not leaving the book he held in his hand, but I noticed that his eyes twitched in annoyance. Well I guess I could cause more trouble to gain his attention. I cleared my throat several times to make him uncomfortable and made weird noises with mouth. I stamped my feet without a rhythm and also banged at any hard surface my hand came in contact with, and finally he broke. "What???" He yelled.
I had succeeded in getting his attention and now my next step was to pacify his anger. If I want this request of mine I have to be as composed as possible. For the first time

"Both of them will accompany you on your trip, the one on the left is Lucy and the one on the right is Brenda." He tells me. It was midday when we had set out for our trip. When I woke up I was introduced to both of them because he had already made the decision for me. There could be no objections to this so I just held my peace. "Make sure you take care of her, if anything goes wrong or she gets hurt then pray I don't find you." He threatened them, but unlike me they were unmoved. "Don't forget, just see your father and come straight home alright." I nod to that order with a smile.Regardless of the promise I had made just a while ago, I had still prepared something for my little sister. There was no way I could hold a grudge because of something that was not her fault, I would rather give her my blessing than hate her, the same goes for Peter, I couldn't blame either of them. "Stop the car.

"I'll go first." Brenda said. She made a quick call as she stepped outside, soon the caretaker opened the door and came out. We could see her from outside the gate as she looked around with caution, finally she made eye contact with Brenda and signaled for the gate to be opened. My suspicions for the caretaker rose, just who lets a stranger drive into their house, I glanced at the woman who stood unmoved, waiting for us to come in, maybe they were acquaintance, a not sure but but whatever it may be, I do hope she’s not here to harm my family. At that moment the car drove in. I was given a shawl to wrap it around my face, hurriedly I ran inside the house. At that moment when I reached the living room, I raced with speed to my father's room while Brenda and Lucy called out repeatedly for me to slow down. They didn't make any move so they wouldn't s
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 18. Secret Door.
The moment I arrived home, I hurried into my room and shut the door, there was no one at the door, and Richard was also nowhere to be found so the coast was clear. At that moment, I reached for my bag and pulled out a medium size wooden box that was almost the size of both my palms, it was decorated with blue rubies and had a symbol of a horse standing with a lion, probably butting heads, I don’t really know. I searched through my bag, turning it upside down to find the key that was buried inside. My hand felt the heavy weight of the key, I picked it up and quickly slotted it in, it was a perfect fit. I turned and twisted the key, and soon it opened. There it was, a small paper that was safely kept inside the box, I picked it up and unfolded the paper, only to find a painting of a man, and if I am not mistaken, then this man is Daniel. Our ancest

So many questions crossed my mind but I ignored them and walked down the stairs, it had countless stairs that it started to feel like it was an underground house. Finally I stopped at a door, it was made out of metal but the metal was Rusty and old, so old that it could be broken open if someone like me even pushed it open, but something was off, the door was unlocked, I opened the door and walked in, only to find a luxurious spacious room. "Can you at least knock before entering someone's house, am trying to sleep, Mira." Heavens who's that. I felt like my soul was just about to leave my body from freight, looking around now no one was present in this room so where did that voice just come from. "Who said that?" I asked. &

The next minute, when I opened my eyes, I found myself still lying on the bed, unable to move and I could hear the whispers of the doctor and Blake once again. Was I dreaming? Am sure they had left a while ago. Wait, what did I dream about again? Oh, my head hurts just from thinking about it. Am sure I remembered hearing the voice of someone, but just who it was. Was it really just a dream? “You know what, I’m going home, just don’t call me once it’s too late.” I heard the doctor warn Blake,, his heavy footsteps gradually fade and soon, the sound of another person tagging along hurriedly also fades. Blake must have gone after him to reason with him. I look up and take a very deep breath, only to feel a sharp pain in my stomach just before I could let it all out. “Gah.” I cried as I held tightly to the bed. It’s all it’s
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 21. Meet Malicay.
Hold on, now that I think about it, there were no ear piercings, and now that I noticed I think I've seen her somewhere, I blink thrice when I notice the familiar face staring at me with his head tilted. "Well it seems you've caught on now Mira." I suddenly realise who this is, it's impossible, is that Malicay, was this his real face? How could he look so much like a female? Malicay reached for the lower part of his gown and used it to clean off the makeup from his face, revealing a beautiful face, it was not even that different from the makeup from his face, the makeup was rather light, so there wasn't anything that changed much. I thought it was a dream but unfortunately it wasn't, my memories from that day came flooding in. If I remember clearly he promised that someone would show up soon, was that someone, him in disguise. He looks so different from what I had imagined it's like, no hold o

"I'll tell you." Jake said, "Well a child of calamity is in who is capable of causing harm and bringing great destruction upon both the humans and vampire, he is a living weapon, whose only purpose is to cause a war, these type of Vampires are called moon children, they live only in the shadows, and unlike other Vampires, they cannot come in contact with the sun otherwise great calamity would befall, but how long can one stay hidden in the shadow." I look at them trying to make sense of what they are saying but honestly, "you're saying this child in my womb is a threat to both races, but it hasn't really done anything yet." I tell them. "Exact, and I plan on subduing him once he's born. That's the reason I put the cur
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 23. The vision.
To think they were brothers, they had zero resemblance, from looks to body stature, and even height, it was almost as if Malicay was the off sheep among the brothers, compared to them he had zero builds and was skinny, he was also pretty, I guess he looked more like their mum compared to the rest of them. I tried scanning for a single trait but there was none to match them. Compared to my dream, Malicay had blue eyes. It was difficult to believe that he was a vampire with such qualities. "Can you please stop staring at me like that, I could feel the intensity of your stares from here." Malicay's ear turned red as he was flooded with embarrassment. I should be the one who should be having that look right now. I quickly looked away, also embarrassed. The brothers couldn't help but laugh, not minding how emb

That woman was me.Today marked my twenty-first birthday and my father who was a man of luxury decided to hold what is supposed to be the most lavish birthday, however I could not feel a single ounce of happiness, rather I felt empty.

As much as I wanted to rip him apart, I could not move and I was still in the hands of this lunatic of a woman. "Well then let's get to work." He said while staggering. He walked up to a rock that was shaped oddly like a chair and sat down. "Since her majesty now has the heir to the throne out of the way, I believe that makes her the only pure blooded Ego and rightful queen seeing that Erika over here has given up the position already. So I have played my role." He said without any sense of shame or guilt."What about her?" Richard says, I was on the brink of tears seeing that he was not moved after seeing both his children dead. I thought we could start over. I made a mistake."You monster. How could you, you killed innocent c

Gah!I woke up dripping wet from cold sweat. "She's awake." A voice says. It was my father. I looked around and found fewer people than before, the twins, Nessa and dad, but where's Malicay and Daniel, I wondered."Martha, what happened to Martha." I asked but everyone looked away, they had a troubled look and most importantly they were sad.Vanessa moved forward and signalled father to let her speak. "By the time Malicay had arrived, she was already dead. The dagger that pierced through her heart was a silver dagger, I'm sorry." Again, she died again. I can't imagine how much I owe her, for taking care of Ethan, for the shelter she gave me in my previous life, and for being by my side. I owed

Delets.The myths describe him as cunning, slippery, smart, and devious. A master of chesh and a good strategist however no one could ever figure out what his true aim and purpose ever was, he was a being who moved according to his own will, no one could understand and control him. That being I speak of had planned to ruin my family from the very beginning.He wasn't just after one child but two, on one hand it was said that Thomas would bring my mother in law the throne an on the other Ethan was said to be a sacrifice for Thomas to ascend the throne but what those two had in common was that their birthday were foretold, one to Richard and the other to the queen. In short there was no curse, just a stage set up for an event. It was a marking. This strategy was simply killing two birds wit

I was only a couple of days away from my fortieth birthday, and since the queen hadn't shown up cause she was probably waiting for my passing, everyone lowered their guards. "Yes, we'll be there immediately." I heard Richard say as he walked into my room hurriedly with a troubled expression."What's going on?" I asked, there was no way I would not be troubled seeing him pancing to and fro the room. "Where are you going ?"He rushed up to my bed and kissed me on the cheek. "Emir has found a way around Delets curse this time, Ethan and I would go there and return immediately, but don't worry I've called for more security, even from the wolves so they would be more people to protect you when I'm gone." As he stood up to leave, I grabbed him b

Although we weren't able to find out a few more things relating to the fire incident, we were more cautious in making sure the children were safe. However at the same time, my curse was slowly becoming a nightmare to my life as it slowly spread. I had only a few weeks to live as I was turning forty soon, it was most likely that I would die on my birthday.Richard has been doing a lot of thinking about it, turning me into a vampire would still not help me, as Emir herself rendered it useless. "You don't look like you've been ageing like the rest of us." Vanessa said as she helped me out of bed.I stood next to a mirror and stared at myself, she was right, I looked like nothing had changed because I kept taking Richard's blood as supplement, to think I was going to die looking this young.

I didn't expect to meet his sister as I presumed both were dead but I was wrong, Malicay wasn't going from one place to another for nothing, he was gathering clues, it was due to this that he discovered his sister's survival, Emir was also brought here, from what he said, they each had a story to tell.Erika broke it down to us in a story she discovered while hiding from her mother.Apparently it all started when the queen, Malicays' mother, had to pass her throne to her husband because she was a woman and deemed unfit. She decided to change her fate and so she came up with a strategy. After searching for answers for many years, she met with Delets and made a deal with him.'I'll give you the power you

"Dad?"It was only natural for me to be confused. Out of everyone present in this room, he should be the least that knows but not only does he know what's going on, but my sister Vanessa knew as well, how did I know? It's because her cheeks turn red whenever she's caught in a lie. "I know you are startled as well, and believe me, it came as a shock to me to find out the dark secrets of your mother's family."Mother's family. That's right, we were called Daniel's. I'm of my brother's bloodline, the box father gave me had Daniel's face on it, and in it, I found that he was a vampire hunter.In sudden realisation, I turn around and face my brother what's looks away.

Chapter 109.As I screamed and rolled, I felt many hands hold me down and I came to my senses, I’m still in my room. Am sure I went out this morning, was I really daydreaming? Cold sweat drops down my face and my body trembles each time I try to move, then a familiar voice echoes in the room. “What did you do to her this time?” It was one of the men who had arrived with Malicay last night. I couldn’t help but stare at him as I saw myself down to him, however I could not see his face properly, as my eyes felt heavy. “Answer me.” He yelled."Don't you dare yell at me, she's only suffering because of your stupid deal, or did you preharps forget, she's going to be forty this year. She has less than months to live." That was Richard's voice, I'm certain of it. But
