2020-10-10 16:18:39Pardon me! The novel "The bride of the Ego's'' is undergoing re-editing to suit your taste. So don't wonder why some chapters are missing, I hope you understand, thank you.
.Unknown point of view.
The room was crowded with audience and journalists, the audience roared with all their might, each having a question to ask, not giving anyone a chance to respond. I could hardly recognize her anymore seeing how much she's grown in the last few years. She raised her hand high to silence the crowd, then she spoke. "I'm telling you that there is nothing supernatural, no such thing as ghosts or witches." Mirabel strongly protested.
"Then what about the reports on spirits caught on camera did people make that up or did the cameras lie." A reporter asked.
"And are you saying that there's nothing as a god?" Another asked.
"So what do you want the people to do to forget our beliefs?" Another asked.
She turned to the third and smiled. "Am not saying that everyone should forget about it just like that, once you get used to this idea you'll see you'll understand. The human mind is partially to blame. You see, we all wanted someone to lean one and someone to hold responsible for our daily life so that our mind kept sending this idea to our brain." She signaled for something and they brought forth an apple. "Take a look at what colour this is." She said holding out a red apple.
"Red." everyone shouted.
She nodded. "Good, I've heard people say you can't paint red blue, but I believe our mind can, it could blind us from seeing the truth, take a look at the color blind they think it's blue or green not because they want to but that is what the mind wants them to think so I believe that the problems of everyone standing here is that we all want to believe what our mind wants us to believe". She shouted. "It can blind us from seeing the truth, that these things are just the work of our mind, they are illusions and nothing more."
"So are you saying that there is no god." Another asked. She thought for a while of what to say, she looked around the faces of the crowd and suddenly, our eyes met.
Oh no, she's notices me, I who was staring boldly at her. She watched as I smiled at her and got confused, not remembering what to say, or what to do until I waved at her snapping her mind back to reality. "Well, well... I guess I'm saying that if there's nothing as the supernatural then there's nothing as a god. Thank you." No did she end she conference quickly because of me, this is bad.
I stood up and walked out of the room before she could, and while looking back I saw as she grabbed her things and ran out from the conference room in pursuit of me, forcing me to hide at a corner. Once she arrived, she stood still searching for me. I wondered what I should do at the moment, should I come out then, or should I wait for her to leave first. What if I go out there and she doesn't recognize me, what then? There was a sudden loud honk. She walked closer to the vehicle and smiled at the young man who seems to be waiting for her, he's slightly taller than she is, with red lips and has dark ebony hair and styled in a nice coat, a scarf around his neck, leader shoes and she a young slim gorgeous lady with style and fashion, she has black eyes, brown hair, red lips and a hot figure. She walks up to him, puts her arms around him and gives him a kiss. "And the meeting." He asked.
"Nailed it." She replied with a smile. I smiled when I saw her finger, I had no idea these two got engaged. I felt my heart sink the more I saw them happy, if only that person was me. But, I have hurt her more than anyone else, so there was obviously no way I could be the one by her side right now. "And my things?" She asked.
His mood appeared a bit down once she asked for her things. "Right in the car now are you sure you don't want your driver to drop you off, I don't think it's a good idea to leave 3 days before the wedding". He said with concern written all over his face.
"Am sure, I'll leave today and come back tomorrow I swear, trust me Peter." she pleaded.
Her fiancé was clearly distressed. "I do trust you that's why I'm letting you go this once." He paused and caressed his temple, while trying to process what he wants to say. "It's just, be safe ok."
"Sure Dad, love you." She teased him with a laugh. This young lady's life was about to change for good. As she said her last goodbye to him and she drove off, her hand still shooting out of the window and waving back at him.

[Mirabel]. It took a long drive for me to arrive at my destination and once I did I felt at peace, although there was one thing that kept recurring on my mind, like who that person was, why did he run away and why was he looking at me with such sad eyes, however when our eyes me, that person smiled at me, he looked pretty shy too, what is wrong with me? You're engaged Mirabel. I parked my car somewhere in the woods and walked down to my destination. Camping in the woods during the mild winter was something my family and I would always do during the winter but all that changed when my mother passed away, my sister and father lost their touch in just one day, gosh I wish I could turn back the hands of time, no more trips I guess. There was a cabin in the woods where we usually took shelter from the cold ice. That's where I'll be staying so I can have some alone

I can't sleep, I am nervous, would Peter be worried about me? I could imagine how he must feel knowing I haven't returned home. He did try to warn me not to leave but I was too stubborn to listen to him. Later that night, unable to sleep, I stayed awake for as long as possible. I noticed a shadow outside, no, it doesn't seem like it was just one but two shadows, but from the looks of it, one wanted to get in and the other was stopping him. How could he leave the door open like that if he wanted to have a fight with someone. The shadow of the one stopping the other looked like the man who saved me and the other seemed to be his family member after all he did warn me about them and how much they hated visitors. After a long time arguing they both left, too bad I was unable to hear what they were saying, I am tired now. I woke

This Starler girl sure has one good grip. I'm dragged into the room and guarded by her. She locked the door and stood before me, moving her body as if she were warming up for a fight. Am panicking but there's no sign of it. It's like one messed up dream to me. There were screams coming from Richard's room and before I knew it, the place became quiet. As I sat down on the bed, I began to wonder what was going on outside. Should I jump off the window, no, that would be suicide. Wait, why is there no noise from outside? When finally we heard the door, the door knob turned and opened. I stood up and shivered. Before us stood Richard, Starler tried her best to stop him but before she could throw a punch to knock him back to his senses she found herself landing on the wall with one punch.

He put me back in my room and locked the door from the outside. I know I am the one who offered a couple of years to bear and raise a child, but he's presently keeping me locked up. Is it because of his family? I know they don;t like me and all, maybe that's the reason why. At about 4 to 5 pm I heard a knock on my door, then a key slot in and the handle twisted. A maid walked in with a tray of food, dropped it on my bed and walked away without saying a word. The aroma of the food reminded me that I was hungry. Come to think of it he' been feeding me sleeping pills for a while, should I ask him why he did, I want to, I think I should but it won't be easy, maybe i'll just do that after we get married, cause I don't think we're close enough to talk that much. I drew the tray close to me and began to devour it, and after that I looked out the window there'

It's just as I thought. I've been tricked. Those this has something to do with the Daniel they keep talking about, I have a feeling that that name aso has a name in it, but wait, what will happen to Peter, no let's not think of that for nw, I have to think of how to get out of this place, he's a psychopath. I looked at Richard and shivered in fear, this man was using me to get what he wanted. If I am right they've always been talking about a Daniel blood, and that old ha also said I was a Daniel, could a Daniel be a requirement to achieving his goals? If that turns out to be true then I don't think I would be able to leave this place. "Mira." Ah! I was taken off guard by this man, I can't lose my guard around him especially after knowing that he did this intentionally. That's right, something else is missing. I was drugged by this man.

By the time I woke up, he was nowhere to be found. I feel so tired and my entire body hurts at the moment. I sit up and stare blankly at absolutely nothing, last night hurts a lot, and why wouldn't it, I've been saving myself for someone else my entire life. Speaking of which. I flip the bed sheet over and find my side of the bed drenched in blood. As I thought, it really did hurt a lot. I dragged my legs, grabbed a towel and then I headed for the shower room. Honestly, I wish and hope he doesn't come back. At this point I don't mind being a widow any more, but I doubt that's gonna happen. The bathroom looks a little over the roof, there's a jacuzzi that's almost the size of a teenagers bed, just how many people was this designed for. I mix the water with hot and cold and get in, I think I would like a bubble bath, it's been a while since I had one. &nbs

There's a limit to how many times a human can do it a day, but he's different, and I don't think he understands the concept of the difference between humans and Vampires, we've been at it all day, I barely have any strength to stand up again, and am covered in love bites. He's the worst. "Did you sleep well Mira." The moment I open my eyes once again, he's right in front of me, it's like I can't avoid his gaze. I try to turn away but... It's tight. Why is it so tight? I try to wiggle my way out of his arms but he just smiles and kisses my shoulders. "Are you tired? or are you hungry?" He asks. That question ticks me off, do I not look tired enough. Sure I expected that I would need to work harder to bear his child, but this is way too much. "Both." I need some fresh air. Now that I think about it, I am shocked because this place is spotle

Am worried about this kid, and the fact that she's a kid worries me the most. The more she's curious, the lesser her chances of surviving this place are. "Why should I? Your relationship has nothing to do with me but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us normal folks." His grip on my hand begins to tighten, he's losing his patience alright. "I just found you so I can't risk that." No you idiot, you have to run, otherwise you will surely die, this blood sucking demon will kill you. I want to say these words to her right now but how can I when he's right behind me and about to break lose any minute now. "If you care about your life then you'll have to leave now, please." I warned but she still stands still, I can't say I didn't try because I did the best I could do for anyone at the moment. By the time she saw the fear in my eyes, it was way too late. The moment she turned towards the doo

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." 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.

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
