Chapter 80. Meeting Again.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Come 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

I had no idea that her curiosity was for a purpose. I don't know how long but she had suspected I was Malicay for a while. It wasn't until I fell for her trap that I knew that, and I had to tell her what I had been through, skipping the part of me being a vampire. It was also at this point that the relationship between Richard and myself took a turn for the worse when he realised the truth about our past. We stopped communicating completely and then went his separate way for the two of us to be happy, and as I was told, he also returned to his family, to take over his family title since he had refused it and left his father's house to be with his mother and sisters. So far, I thought everything was going fine since everyone was starting a new chapter of their lives, and so, Becca and I fulfilled our long time promise and I proposed, but our happiness did not last for long.&

Ten minutes Earlier."To think you've come all the way to visit me, my love. What have you come to know." Eve. I never thought I was going to see her again ever since I had her under house arrest for eternity but here I am meeting the same woman who caused me suffering. If anything, I wasn't here because I wanted to, but rather was basically dragged here by Daniel this morning. There was a heavy knock on my door and when Thomas got the door, he found Daniel, if I had known from the start then I wouldn't had followed him, in the first place he being at my doorstep was more suspicious, but still I blindly followed him because he told me he was going to help me find answers, since he too needed to know why he was alive.I sigh at this, pointing towards the per

I always thought there was something wrong in Richard’s pure love for his son Ethan, to think Ethan was the deal. It’s all starting to make a whole lot of sense now, however I wonder if Richard ocstrated everything just so he would sit on the throne as king because of one misunderstanding, and why would he bring more than just Mira back, and even if he didn’t it could only means other people out there are using Delets for something else, but who would be so crazy as to try to reconstruct the past. Why would anyone even wish for something like that?"And am certain you know who did it too, but you just don't want to tell him the truth about them.” Eve said to Daniel. While that sounded strange to me, I also tried to consider the reason behind Daniel not wanting to tell
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 86. Wicked.
Ah. Those bastards still date to show up here. I slam the car door and angrily made my way into my house, am just about to enter when I take a deep breath, calming my nerves as Thomas was still inside, I didn't want him to suspect anything was wrong, hopefully he doesn't remember them either, otherwise it would be difficult to convince him that everything was fine.I twist the handle and enter, Daniel was right behind me, and so the both of us made our way in. The first thing I saw once I reached the living room was Jack, Jake and Martha, they were sticking quite closely to each other, but it looked like they were taking shelter from Martha. As they were seated patiently on the long couch, my eyes started to twitch as I tried my best to hold back my anger until I could make sense of what was happening, but more importantly. I couldn't find Thomas. "Where's the child?" I ask.

For many years, I had been fooled with the idea that they had saved my life from Richard that day, but I did not expect that they were both working together. I wouldn't have doubted if I were told of Richard's involvement, I always knew we were both on the terms of killing each other at sight, but they were different, they were both my older brothers.That day, when they rushed into the palace with their hands extended, asking me to come with them as they had prepared a safe place for me and assured me they were on my side, I suddenly felt like I had been able to earn their love, it felt like salvation to me like I had been saved from the darkness regardless of my horrible wrong doings. However to think it was all but just an illusion, a mere trick to fool me. I always wondered why Richard let me stay in the same place with him all this while. It was all because of their guilt, but no matter how I lo

Jack's POVAlthough I could not deny that I had no involvement whatsoever behind their deaths, I could also not deny that I didn't wish for things to go this far. What started as a small deal ended up being chaotic. All I had to do was feed information to them about the whereabouts of Malicay and his routine and that was it, I had absolutely no idea what they were planning otherwise I would have never partook in any of this."....why did you do it?" I really wanted to answer this question but I could not. I did not have the right words to relay my foolishness, I did not know how I should answer him, could I have told him that I did it just to please them? No! If I had given him such a reply, I have no doubts that I would be able to keep my head.

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

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."

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
