2024-10-29 19:42:56Something bad was about to happen, I could feel that much. I don't know why he's being like this, but I have a feeling he's up to something crazy once again. We arrived home and heard that Mira was asleep. Malicay walked into his room without a word, and we were too busy trying not to get on his bad side to ask about what was going on. I took a stroll around the house, I myself knew nothing about Mal, I could still remember the first day I saw him, Mal was as fragile as glass, and whenever he was hit, he would run to a corner to hide and cry, his eyes looked like those which has given up on hope and I wondered what the boy could had possibly gone through to look so miserable, but even so, he never once complained to us, and I feel horrible because no matter how physically strong he was on the outside that surpassed our abilities, he was still our little brother, and he clearly needed attention. Just once, if I had asked him just once, I wonder what hi

We didn't tell Mira about the incident, the important fact was to keep the meeting a secret, she shouldn't know about what happened, apart from me not wanting to tell her about that night, there was Mal giving us a threatening gaze. Of course I wouldn't dare go against him,it was pretty obvious who was stronger between the both of us. Malicay was not someone to be messed with.Ethan left for school the next day, I have never seen the child as happy as he was while he rushed to leave for school. All his life, he's been homeschooled and never left him home, this was a perfect opportunity for him to get exposed to reality. Mira was both confused and excited about her pregnancy, but she had been sighing non stop since this morning that it's starting to get tiring from just hearing someone else sigh, and by someone else I meant my brother who had started to sigh whenever she did. "Mira, Mira…" I ca
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 60. Who is She?
Mira's POV.I couldn't help but have a feeling of deja vu. Just a while ago, I was undoubtedly happy, for a reason I couldn't make sense out of, I wondered why getting married to a man who was not my husband made me happy, something in me leaped for joy, I felt like I wanted to be with him, I was beyond doubt happy to hear their suggestion, but then I felt like something would go wrong if we get married, I couldn't make sense of why I felt that way but I can tell this feeling wasn't a good one. How strange.Everything was going fast. Ethan was at first against the idea, of course he believed that we would one day return back to his father especially since he was going to have a sibling soon, seeing how his father was risking a lot to protect him in the pretense of neglecting him, he was bound to side with his father, and I did too, but

While using the brother's little trip as an excuse, I took my time to go on countless dates with Ted. The only one who knew about what I was doing was Martha, even still it was hard to convince her to see where I was coming from. She agreed not because she finally understood but because she didn't have a say.I told him my husband and I were to get divorced soon, so Ted didn't seem to have a problem with me being married, and also didn't mind me having a child and being with another, I felt unhappy regardless of how hard he tried and I couldn't decide. Did I want to continue with this marriage and occupy him with my family while he still grieves, or serve as a replacement, I've decided now, whatever happens this time happens, I'll take anything that comes my way without question.As I made my w

I sat down on a chair, waiting for her to awake, its effects should die off soon and I would be bound to explain myself, but I was prepared for that much. Slowly she woke up, looking around only for her to realize where she was, I began to take back every word I said about being prepared to face her. I couldn't speak as our eyes met and only shrink in fear, of course the first attempt she made was to try to reach out and then she finally realized what was going on.She looked at the rope and then her hand and then me. During her long nap I had tied her hands with a rope and then tied the rope behind the chair, so she couldn't move. She struggled and when she came to a realization that she couldn't break free she yelled. "What is this?"At that very moment I lost my words and panicked. "

We couldn't go all the way because of the baby, and ended up sleeping while holding hands. Well she was asleep and not me. Seeing how deeply she slept, I took my coat and rushed outside. I wanted to confirm for myself and start running, I didn't want to use my speed, I just wanted to exercise my muscles a bit and I wanted to take my time to reach there.Hahh. I breathed a sigh of relief when I had finally arrived at that spot. There at the three were Rebecca and I had met for the first time, at the same spot where we planted a tree after meeting after many years stood the man I was waiting for. "You came Emerald." With a grin on his face, he tilted his head and stood inches apart from the tree."Daniel. So it was you." To think he has me fooled by his new appearance, to think the man who was fl

It was a peaceful walk in the park and it was perfect. All I wanted was to make her happy so that she forgets that there was once a time. I took a seat on the bench while she helped herself to get whatever she wanted, constantly waving back at me when she had the chance, and I constantly smiling and waving back at her, but that wasn't why I wanted to come out, he was. "It's not going to work Emerald, you can't cheat death. She's gonna die, whether you like it or not. Haven't you wondered, why she was alive in the first place." Right next to me was someone who was without a doubt powerful to an extent, the problem is he's been sticking to me a lot lately and only I could see him, the being responsible for the illusions in my head, and the only one who had answered my questions.

The bride of the Egos' Chapter 65. The Tiny One.
As time flew by, Mira's stomach began to rise, her pregnancy had become obvious and the neighbourhood came over with gifts. She was surrounded with smiles, so it was a good environment for her and the baby. Little by little, her ability to walk decreased, and although it was not as bad as when she had Ethan, it was still difficult for her to continue with her daily life. Ethan on the other hand seemed to be more worried about her situation than I was, during the weekdays he slept beside his mothers bed and never let her be without help, on time I had caught him with his ears glued to his mothers belly as he listened to the baby, and when I asked what he was doing he asked me to be quiet so I wouldn't wake her up. Thanks to her condition, Ethan's hate for me slowly died while I tried my hardest to prove to him how much I loved her, but it still wasn't enough to earn his full trust.She h

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.

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."

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.

"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.

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
