Chapter 87. Take Your Secrets To The Grave.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56For 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.

Believe it or not, we have nothing to do with Rebecca reincarnating. Absolutely nothing, we just happened to find out about it recently. It may have been late, but we had no idea about it until it happened. "Well if it wasn't you then who was it?" Martha asked.Malicay tapped her from behind and shook his head as if telling her not to bother anymore. "Is that even a question, of course it's Richard." He told her. I looked across to find mother wandering around and helping herself with one album after the other."But mother, how did you know all this?" I ask."Because I know just how dangerous Delets can be. You've each trader something v

I didn't think Mal was serious, until I saw him dragging his luggages down the stairs. Since he had made up his mind about kidnapping his wife, there was nothing we could do than help him succeed. As he opened the door to leave, he paused. "Where are you going?" Daniel asked."Somewhere, we'll be back soon." Malicay said. Daniel's eyes scanned from head to toe, and eyed the luggages in Malicay's hand. "It's gonna take a while." Malicay makes up an excuse.Daniel frowns, and Thomas pops out from behind. "Are you leaving me too?" As all heads turn to Malicay, I wonder what it is that he had told the child for Thomas to ask if he was going to leave him behind as well, implying that someone had done the same before. Mother makes her way forward from behind and bends down to Thomas's height.
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 91. Brenda.
The door to her house opened and I found Mira, anxiously awaiting our arrival as she fondled her fingers and her gown. "H...he..hello, I'm Mirabel." She introduced herself, considering the fact that she had introduced herself meant she thought of us as strangers since she had no idea who we were. "Please, come in, come in." She followed behind us and welcomed us to her home. "Am sorry for earlier, I just, you see I've been going through a lot lately that I'm having a hard time with anything." I can't help but feel uneasy, the voice I heard on the phone earlier, was nowhere to be found.When I glance over at mother, she signals for me to remain calm, I guess she's also realised that something was wrong. "It's okay darling you just did what anyone under any circumstances would do." Mother said. It's a pity Mal didn't join us because I am certain h
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 92. The Fight.
The room fell into total silence, Mira slowly backed away from us and Brenda shielded her away from us. "Mira you have to belt us, we didn't put you in this condition." Martha said to her. But Mira was already panicking, she did not want to listen anymore as see rushed inside. Martha started yelling. "Mira these people will only hurt you if you go with them, you would only be in darkness.""That's a lie, if they wanted to harm me they would had done so a long time ago, otherwise hey would he keep me today." She did have a point. If Richard wanted her for himself why would he wait till tomorrow to make her his. He could had simply came up with an excuse and manipulated her memories and that wouod be it, but he waited this long to make it happen? That didn't sound like Richard. "Get out of my house right, now, or I'll call security."

The cleaning was left to the expert and I continued with my task of getting Mira to safety, so I carried her away from the building, on reaching the parking lot where the others patiently waited, I came face to face with Malicay who stared at me in confusion while seeing Mira's state. Seeing how quick Malicay was to switch moods, I kindly handed her over to him and minded my own business.Like a child who was given candy for the first time, Malicay's eyes shone brightly as he took her in his arms. Oh please, his display of affection creeps me out in the worst possible ways. Speaking of which, I poked my head in search of Daniel who was behind us in his car. He was asleep with Thomas and they slept like a baby without a single care in the world. Luckily Jake was with them. He gave me a thumbs up from behind and I breathed a smile of relief, finally we were past this stage.

I woke up again, drenched in sweat. This time I found myself in a comfortable bed. I guess we've finally arrived back at Malicays' place. "You know, we were pretty worried about you, it's okay if you don't want to tell us about your dream but please can you not scare us like that. Geez." I sat up straight and took deep breaths until I got tired.Trust no one huh. That's gonna be a problem. If everyone was just a pawn for it's deal then how do I know I'm not one of them. I feel suffocated at the moment. I helped myself to some new clothes since Malicay's clothes would not size me because of his body size and made my way down. Just in the living room, I found everyone awake and waiting anxiously. "What's going on?" I asked.A cup of hot st
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 95. Her Father.
The following morning, as we got ready to leave, there was a knock at the door. Everyone took caution as expected since Malicay was the reserved type, all this would have been solved if he simply came out a little more, then we wouldn't be this worried about who was at the door. It was Martha who answered the door. "Who's at the door Martha." I asked, but she gave no answer.I could only see the shadow of a tall figure because the door was blocking the view of whoever it was. The figure helped itself inside, with each step it too forward, Martha took one backward, at one point she almost stumbled. I rushed towards her side to see what was going on and was surprised to find Mira's father at the door. His head turning sideways before he finally looks at me, I have never felt so short in my entire life, and I certainly did not expect someone like himself to make me feel that way. But most

Everyone danced to the rhythm of the waltz, everything seemed perfect and yet, one person remained who looked lonely even while being crowded by many. An average height, fair skinned red haired woman laughed with everyone with a mask of happiness but beneath that mask was a lonely woman. 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." 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
