"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
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. Eos, my
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
History had called me the most cruel and wicked vampire king and I never once complained because I owed no one an explanation. I killed my father because he was hurting my mother, and I left my own home not without a reason but because I wanted to protect my children. It was summer, and a hot afternoon too. Richard had requested for an audience, he kept implying that it was urgent and so I went to see him at his place. "Are you positive that's what you heard?" I asked him."Yes, your majesty.""Are you certain?" I asked once more. I still found it hard to believe what he had told me. According to him, Eve was planning a rebellion against me, and the children would most likely be dragged into this too. She was planning to kill me, she didn't love the children, what she needed was my posi
