Chapter 27. He has a Mother ?
Last Updated:
2021-11-05 01:00:04Richard stood by the door as he helped me carry my bag, which was filled with all the necessary things I would need since it was going to be a long trip. "You look tired." Behind him were the rest of the family, who gave me quite a stare. They were fond of ruining all my opportunities to have fun but not this time.
"Do I? I don't think so." I quickly deny. "So there's no need to cancel our trip." Truth be told, I didn't get even a wink of sleep last night as I was too anxious, but I feel pumped about this trio,especially when he said it was going to be a two days journey, we were going to visit London this time, and that was all it took to make my day. When I told Mal about our plans, he at first was against the idea, but his opinion changed in not less than a minute. I can't wait to step out from this place.

***I wasn't sure how I was going to react or treat her as she stood waiting for me to walk right into her arms. I carried myself and walked towards her and the moment I was in the middle of both arms, she locked her arms and gently patted my back. "You have no idea how much I wanted to see you." She whispered in my ear. She released me but held onto my shoulder, "tell me, has this bastard been treating you well, does he scold you, or give you the attention you deserve, tell me if you have any problems and I shall solve it." She said with a glare directed towards Richard while he avoided her gaze. I shake my head and defend Richard but she still didn't buy it, calling him all sorts of names and raining curses on him.Although Richard didn't speak or reply to anything she said,

We started with books, they had a vast knowledge of literature, some of them could already recite the next lines of these books, so most times they would complete my sentences for me. The more I got to know them by being around them, the more I wished I could stay with them, but then I still had to see others, so I had to move quickly.After I had finished the book, the young ones applauded with excitement. I could hear the sound of Richard also applauding, he walked towards me and gave me a light kiss on my forehead. “You did well.” He said. After handing back over to their teacher, I walked straight to the next class. And just like that, I went on with my day, heading from one class to another and getting to know them a lot.Finally I was exhausted, Richard would reach from the bag and take out a bottle of water or a handkerchief to da

We had to leave at once, so we had to stop at the hotel once more so we could get all our belongings before we left. I was bothered and worried about Richard and his behavior, he just seemed so distant and difficult to approach. He did try his best so I wouldn't notice by smiling everytime our eyes met, but that wasn't enough to convince me that he was okay. "I'll go out in the car." Although that was an excuse to get away from me for a while, I could tell he needed some breathing space.I got ready, and sat on the bed for a while, thinking of how I could approach him, but for that I would at least need to know what was going on with him right? But how could I have an answer to that when he's so distant with me, it's more like he doesn't want me to know.Knock Knock!

Jake's point of view]I was surprised when my doors burst open and Richard rushed into my house with his wife in his hand. Mira was unconscious, and Richard looked like he had seen a ghost, his eyes were wide open as he carried her, begging for help from my brother and I who he had distanced himself from.He told me that she had fallen asleep on their way back, and he was also asleep, unfortunately by the time they arrived she was still asleep, he had thought that she was asleep but that wasn't it. It's been a full day now and she still hasn't woken up. "Please help us." He begged with her in his arms.I didn't know what to do, and there was nothing I could do. I remembered Mal's words, and knew that her delivery

I know it's nothing but a pair of eyes from a painting but the true meaning behind this painting freaks everyone out, she didn't need to know why it meant, cause if she didn't she'd be horrified. Jack looks at me and I at him, I shake my head, telling him not to say a word about it, he nods. "That my dear is the eyes of Lord Ego." Jack tells her. Regardless of the fact that he sounded like it was no big deal just now, I could sense how Jack trembled from his voice and how he just hesitated. He was staring at the painting with such intense fear, trying hard to maintain his composure."Well, it looks beautiful, I love the painting, why didn't they paint the rest of him?" She asked. She had no idea she was killing us from the inside, no one had the guts to look at this painting, not even our mother. It's been this way ever since he stepped into the

I felt blank, at a total loss of words, Mal didn’t look like he was kidding, his eyes were dripping out black blood and I know what it means. He always had dark blood dripping down his eyes whenever he saw something horrifying. Mal was born a pure vampire unlike my brother and he was blessed with extraordinary abilities, one that made my brother and myself unqualified to ever call ourselves a king. “Mal, listen to me. Calm down okay, just tell me what you saw.” I try to reason with him, it’s useless trying to get anything off him when he’s in such a state. “Breathe.” I told him. “Now, tell me what you saw.”“The curse had already begun the moment she conceived, that thing in him is killing her. If it’s born then you have my word when I say even you shall fear him. This house shall be divided

Good gracious.It's been a month and a half since that day, Jack and I have been anxiously waiting for Richard to summon us. It wasn't until last night that he finally called, we were just about to board a plane when my phone rang, well of course we abandoned our flight. Mira wanted us to keep her company, and so we journeyed back here.I stopped after seeing her wave from her window. Hmm, it seems Mal helped heal her, of course, after watching her for that long he couldn't possibly let her be crippled. I could also see Richard through the window and believe me, he does not look happy even if he was the one who called us.She was in the kitchen and staring at us with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in another. She looked like she was trying to stay calm, but honestly, I couldn't say the same, especially s

There she was on the bed, looking worse than before. Her breathing was slow and even her heartbeat made me worried. All I could see was a dried up body and not the woman I met outside a hotel months ago. Once every thirty seconds, she would cough a very dried cough. She looked so pale that we had to order for oxygen and invited as many midwives, nurses and doctors, sharmans, witch doctors and all those who all had contacts with vampires. Richard had refused to leave her side, he's been with her all day. Malicay said it's because the time was slowly approaching.Humans are really weak, to think she would suffer so much from just conceiving a Vampire, I felt like beating up Richard for being responsible but everyone was anticipating the birth of this child, even I can't deny it's importance. Richard hasn't moved an inch, and believe me when I say he looks depressed.

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
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 113. A Plan Since the Beginning
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
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 110. Erika?!
"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.

The bride of the Egos' Chapter 109. They All Knew.
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
