Chapter 5. Deceit.
Last Updated:
2021-09-02 06:20:23It's just as I thought. I've been tricked. Those this has something to do with the Daniel they keep talking about, I have a feeling that that name aso has a name in it, but wait, what will happen to Peter, no let's not think of that for nw, I have to think of how to get out of this place, he's a psychopath. I looked at Richard and shivered in fear, this man was using me to get what he wanted. If I am right they've always been talking about a Daniel blood, and that old ha also said I was a Daniel, could a Daniel be a requirement to achieving his goals? If that turns out to be true then I don't think I would be able to leave this place. "Mira."
Ah! I was taken off guard by this man, I can't lose my guard around him especially after knowing that he did this intentionally. That's right, something else is missing. I was drugged by this man. Those sleeping pills weren't to help me sleep, and that incident, could it have been planned to make me believe I was the victim. If it's what I think of it then I am so screwed. "Ha! Ha ha!! Haaaa!!! You tricked me." I admire him. A broad grin spreads across his face, this man didn't even think of hiding or denying it, it's official, what a smart player he is.
I pushed him away and hoped he wouldn't do something else but he just walked up to me and rubbed his chin. "You have what I want my dear, it won't be that easy to let you off the hook, besides, who knows, that person might change his mind after seeing you carry my child". He stared at my body like a lion waiting to pounce on his prey. I don't want to even know what is going on in his head, however, I am more worried about the last statement he just made. Who is 'That person'?
He grins and examines me closely, I keep getting goosebumps because of his stares, do I run, but, where do I run to, I didn't even take notice of my surroundings before arriving here. "If you're thinking of escaping then give up, however, if you can produce a heir for me I'll let you go, your freedom is guaranteed." This sly bastard is at it again, if giving birth to an heir was so easy then why did he desperately try to keep me locked up here.
"You're lying. If it's that easy then go marry your own kind and let me go." At this moment I wished I didn't yell at him. I don't know what to take off the pressure he's putting on my wrist. If this goes on, I think my bones are gonna snap. I was just about to reason with him when he let me go. Suddenly his expression turned gloomy. Was he sad? Well, he shouldn't be, because if anyone should be mad, it should be me.
"Am sorry you have to go through all this, to be honest I don't want to either, but i'm not in need of any kind child, rather a half blooded child, a Dhampir to be precise, one with a particular blood which both you and your sister have, but, lucky for me you happened to find me. If you could get me that then you're free to leave." Could it be that he's telling the truth? Will he really let me go if I give birth to a son, just a son? Is that all he really wants? Do I trust him? But if I don't take this step then I am not sure if I can leave this place. This is gonna be a gamble, the probability of me winning are zero, and the probability of me escaping are also zero. My best bet would be having his child, after all, that way I can have a card in my possession. Alright then Richard, let's play this game. Just you wait, I will escape.
"Just that. Then I get my freedom." I draw near to the point that I forget I am the one keeping the distance.
He nods. "Yep." I withdrew and gave it a thought. That's all he needs.
"Sounds too good to be true. Alright I'll take you up on your offer. A child, for my freedom, no more debts, nothing more, nothing less." I nodded and gave him my consent, if a child is all it takes then we have a deal. Still I couldn't help but feel nervous. He took the first step and drew near for a kiss and I accepted, I kept seeing flashes of Peter in my head, 'is this betrayal? How would he feel about this? Put it together Mira, he doesn't have to know, I'll simply say I had an accident and was lost. Yes, that's it.' No, I can't do it, I can't betray him. I pushed him and stepped back till my back touched the wall. I need some time to clear my head. I won't be able to perform my side of the deal if this goes on. However, this person doesn't seem like he has much patience left. He walked forward and pulled me close to him, he buried his face on my neck and kissed it, his hot breath was all over my shoulders, his hands traced through my body, he's not letting go no matter how much I struggle. It got worse when I started pushing him away from me, when he stopped he only looked at me as if trying to fight back his urge.
"I've gone against others just for you. I can't back out now. I need that child, will you help me." He said with sincerity in his voice, I looked at his thick red eyes and I give up I didn't know when he took off my undergarment so ready am half naked in front of him and my legs are already giving way, am trying to fight it but immediately he kissed me so passionately I gave up.

By the time I woke up, he was nowhere to be found. I feel so tired and my entire body hurts at the moment. I sit up and stare blankly at absolutely nothing, last night hurts a lot, and why wouldn't it, I've been saving myself for someone else my entire life. Speaking of which. I flip the bed sheet over and find my side of the bed drenched in blood. As I thought, it really did hurt a lot. I dragged my legs, grabbed a towel and then I headed for the shower room. Honestly, I wish and hope he doesn't come back. At this point I don't mind being a widow any more, but I doubt that's gonna happen. The bathroom looks a little over the roof, there's a jacuzzi that's almost the size of a teenagers bed, just how many people was this designed for. I mix the water with hot and cold and get in, I think I would like a bubble bath, it's been a while since I had one. &nbs

There's a limit to how many times a human can do it a day, but he's different, and I don't think he understands the concept of the difference between humans and Vampires, we've been at it all day, I barely have any strength to stand up again, and am covered in love bites. He's the worst. "Did you sleep well Mira." The moment I open my eyes once again, he's right in front of me, it's like I can't avoid his gaze. I try to turn away but... It's tight. Why is it so tight? I try to wiggle my way out of his arms but he just smiles and kisses my shoulders. "Are you tired? or are you hungry?" He asks. That question ticks me off, do I not look tired enough. Sure I expected that I would need to work harder to bear his child, but this is way too much. "Both." I need some fresh air. Now that I think about it, I am shocked because this place is spotle

Am worried about this kid, and the fact that she's a kid worries me the most. The more she's curious, the lesser her chances of surviving this place are. "Why should I? Your relationship has nothing to do with me but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us normal folks." His grip on my hand begins to tighten, he's losing his patience alright. "I just found you so I can't risk that." No you idiot, you have to run, otherwise you will surely die, this blood sucking demon will kill you. I want to say these words to her right now but how can I when he's right behind me and about to break lose any minute now. "If you care about your life then you'll have to leave now, please." I warned but she still stands still, I can't say I didn't try because I did the best I could do for anyone at the moment. By the time she saw the fear in my eyes, it was way too late. The moment she turned towards the doo

I quickly race to the room, checking for the girl and finally find her in a small room. She looked uncomfortable and cried a lot. I felt sorry for her, it was my fault to begin with so I would have to be responsible for her, I am so sorry dear. I bow my head down and patiently wait for her to wake up, only to fall asleep myself. I woke up to the feeling of stares, as I raised my head I found Martha who kept staring at me with contempt, and I know I can't blame her, I am practically the reason she's this way right now. I try to help and reach for a glass of water, stretching it towards her. "Are you thirsty, do you need anything like water, or something else. Richard said you could join him tomorrow morning, just incase you feel any thirst." I told her. But she remains silent. She turned towards the left side, looking outside the

I went back to my room and laid on the bed. It wasn't too long before the door swung open, I forcefully closed my eyes to fall asleep but to no avail. "Are you that upset?" I shrugged when I heard his voice, he could tell I was awake even before I moved. "I didn't even kill her." He said. "Am sorry I scared you, but it was the only way at the moment. I kept my promise didn't I, and now it's time to keep yours, the favor you promised, I'll take it now." I turn around and he's not there, did I hear wrong just now, I could swear I heard his voice just now. I felt the bed sink in and then I turned back and he's right in front of me with his head tilted causing my heart to skip a bit. "I want to exchange it for something else?" He quickly said. I frowned. "What is it?" I replied sharply, turning my head elsewhere. He reached for my face and I immediately shut my eyes, waiting for whatever was

It was just about a few minutes after my break down, that it happened, Richard suddenly looked alert, I didn't have the time to guess what he looked like that before he grabbed my hand and we made a run for it, just then, I could finally understand the reason he ran away like that, it was the smell of burning, the moment we reached outside I realized a part of the building was on fire. "Wait here, I'll call someone to pick us up, this place isn't safe anymore." That was all he said to me before disappearing with his phone. Martha was no where to be found, she was probably still inside. "Martha, Martha." I yelled, but there was no reply from her, and Richard had just gone out. I thought everything was going to be okay when suddenly I heard a scream coming from the inside, I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was to know that it was Martha, but she was trapped in the room where the fire escalated. There was no other way, the chimney's were

Hotel Ego. I never imagined that I would one day be here. A five star hotel that's always at the top of any high ranking hotel. To think it was owned by my husband, well that's a bummer, Peter and I had already picked out a couple of selections for after the wedding. It's a good thing I know who runs this place now, it's best if we avoid this in case I should leave. Martha and I went out for some fresh air, and although it was late, it was the very first thing I did after arriving at the city, and it was very much needed at the moment because I had been moving from one place to another at Richard's beckoning. It was the first time I felt alive since I got married. "Good evening". A cheerful voice greeted me the moment I stepped foot out of the car. Before me stood two young adults neatly dressed in l

I knew he didn't want me anywhere near the meeting, but this went on for days. Am never awake when he returns and he leaves late in the night too. I am starting to think he doesn't want anyone to see me. I thought it was a joke but it seems to be a lot more serious than I thought. "Mira, we need to talk." One night after I had made up my mind to stay awake, he said those words to me and didn't bother to explain anymore. We had agreed to meet tomorrow and I had been preparing for that for quite a while now. I took my jacket and my boots out of the closet and put them on. Finally, I am getting a chance to receive some fresh air after two weeks. This is wonderful. I walked out of the changing room, happy but that mood was dropped in

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 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.

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."

"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.

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
