Six years later.
That day, while I returned back with the groceries, I found the twins staying as far away from the house as possible. I had to urge them to come in without knowing the situation. Only after that encounter did I know what was going on between the three and why they hid outside. Malicay was unable to live in his own house after that day, he was so furious that he was almost out of control, if it weren't for Mira watching him he would have done something crazy to his brothers.
I then had also thought it might have been a misunderstanding until my memories slowly started returning and I realised I needed to protect Ethan. We were all falling into one big trap, and even Richard was a pawn, I had so many questions like, how I reincarnated, why so many of us had also reinc

"Martha! Martha!! Martha!!!" Ah. I flinched when I heard my name being called by him. Ethan, who I had spent six years of my life raising, was becoming more and more like the prophecy, he was more than just a cold hearted being. In the past six years, his physical strength and ability had a massive turn, for instance, one night there was a loud cry coming from his room, I rushed there and found that someone had slipped in to assassinate him, but he had killing that person by twisting his neck off and smashing his head. Of course he learnt things like this from his father who has occupied his entire schedule to make sure he stays number one. Ethan has been undefeated in hand to hand combat and martial arts for almost five years now. Not even the guards want to spar with him in fear of losing their own lives. Ethan sighed. "Am not a kid anymore, how many times have I told you to knock before you enter" t
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 75. Where Are They?
Early this morning, I had prepared my mind that I would be leaving to search for help. My only option was to meet the brothers and ask for their cooperation to resolve this issue, sure enough they had annoyed quite a lot of people so it would be very difficult for them to repair any bond or beg for forgiveness right now. I didn't tell Ethan where I was going before I left, I had told him I was going to visit an old friend for a while, and I don't know how long is a while, but I better before Ethan finds out something's wrong.My first stop was the brothers territories. I had no idea where their territories were, so I had no option than to steal some of the documents containing their location from Ethan and make some photocopies of them, it's too late to turn back now.It was a long drive for me, all

I didn't expect the journey to be easy, but this was beyond hard. For days I have been searching for two people who do not want to be found, they must have really given their all into hiding far away from prying eyes because it is impossible to find as little as a trace of them. I was starting to consider calling for back up from people but if I had done that then Ethan and Richard would also probably know, and the least person I want should find out is Richard, because if he does he'll see to it that my plan fails and I suffer dearly for searching for his enemies when he was clearly responsible for what happened and might have as well manipulated the brothers, which is also part of what I'd like to find out. What was it that made them betray their own flesh and blood that easily?Sigh.Apart from the places marked and not marked, I have

He was as bright as a sunflower the moment I let him explain himself. He clapped his hands cheerfully and stood from my bed, taking me by the hand and forcing me to sit. I wonder, is this part of his hospitality or is she just doing it out of a habit just like his attitude of talking a lot. "I am so glad that you finally agreed to give me a chance and hear me out, I promise you, you won't be bored dear Martha, or should I say Anastasia."I stand from my bed. Am struck with great disbelief. Absolutely nobody knows me by that name, and I have not told a single soul about my past memories. Once again, this man manages to make me curious. How does he not fail to amaze me everytime. "Tell me now, who are you? Tell me the truth now, how do you know my past, what are you, are you really a ghost?" As I raise many questions and pour them all on him, he does nothing but sit at a place and s

Am stuck, confused, and speechless at the same time, what do I do, is giving this man my speed really the option especially when I don't know what he has in store for me without my speed. But, if I do not accept his condition then we'll be in an even worse situation, I guess this leaves me with no other choice, whatever happens, happens. "Alright, I'll trade my speed for you to take me there." Once again, he clapped his hands and escorted me towards the door by the shoulder."Oh, dear customer, I can't tell you how happy I am that you finally made a deal with me, as part of my gratitude I'll get you there in an exclusive method reserved for you only by yours truly." He opens the door leading me out of my room, and I am amazed. Right before my eyes the view I am exposed to is none other than a forest view. I look back at him, demanding an explanation.

Malicay's POV Ah. I cannot remember when I became the cold hearted monster I became, all I did was simply do as I was taught, I simply followed the rules and did nothing else but still even after I did that, I was deemed a monster. I still remember it like it was yesterday, the day I asked my distant cousin to marry me. It was a simple request, involving two people and me simply saying to her. "Marry me." I would not deny that it sounded more like an order than a request, but at that moment I was desperate for an heir. I turned a deaf ear however I could still recall them whispering behind my back about how incompetent I was. In order to secure my throne, sometimes I had planted spies in the base of my enemies and had them become their closest aid in order to have eyes and ears on their plots. It was after fin

Come to think of it, I never held them in my arms after they were born. I could remember when the news reached my ears through Richard, and my reply was simple. "Tell her she did a good job." At that time I had no idea of what I was doing. Eve had given up after I remained unchanged. After that, the two of them started going through homeschooling. From the moment they could go crazy, I had their teachers flooding in. I was intending to give them the best but unfortunately I failed to see that it broke them.I went through the extreme just to make sure they were safe according to my understanding, and so, I built what is now called mansion Ego, the current palace, and had my entire family move in, starting my own legacy there.The more they grew, the more the relationship between us became distant.

Right after we left, I found myself rushing home to get rid of the handkerchief I secretly kept. I did not completely move on from my past, I still kept a few things discreet to myself. I tried my best to get rid of it but I could not even bring myself to get rid of a simple handkerchief,not less my feelings which were once again staring.The next week when Becca arrived as the new tutor, things changed. No one listened to me, the children also got preoccupied with whatever their tutor was doing to even look at me. I found it hard to believe that they were the same children who were always trying to impress me. One day, I finally understood what it was that made people so intrigued with her. Right outside the house, in the garden, she had the children running here and there a they helped her with something. "Madam, what are you up to?" I couldn't hide

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
