Ragnor had gone to see his parents upon invitation. Jessica was brought over to Ragnor's mansion to keep Clara company. Upon arrival and seeing the luxury, she decided in her heart, she will take Ragnor away from Clara. Everyone retired to their rooms, with Ragnor and Clara missing each other. It's just been a day since Ragnor left for the palace and Clara was already missing him so much that she couldn't sleep. She decided to watch Tv to while away the time. She went to the living room and sat on the sofa with her legs folded under her.Jessica was still in bed fast asleep. She had not had such comfort in a lifetime. She had one leg on her pillow, her hair spread across the bed and her face, her right hand was hanging by the side of the bed and her head almost at the foot of the bed. The cloth was just covering a part of her body leaving other parts exposed.Clara watched the TV for a while and wish she could call Ragnor, but she didn't have his contact. Ragnor was equally awake. He
Jessica hatches a plan against Clara to get her out of the way so she can pursue Ragnor. For her plan to succeed, she distracted the chauffeur, Jake by seducing him. Ragnor returned to San Francisco after being away for just two days to save Clara who is now bonded to him and hence could feel her pain miles away. He found Clara and brought her back to his mansion where he tended to her.Jessica was clueless about the real identity of Jack, the chauffeur. The butler had assigned Jack, a vampire, because of their unique ability to hear others' thoughts and sense danger, to keep them safe as instructed by Ragnor. Ragnor had lots of servants in the house, however, the heads of these servants are all vampires like himself. The butler, Jack, the head of the chauffeur and Ragnor himself. However, Jack was not happy with his assigned task of taking care of a human girl and hence did not pay much attention to anything. To him, Clara was just like any other human girl Ragnor had brought home
"Sorry master, I didn't know" he replied shaking with fear"You didn't know or you didn't care?" Ragnor said through gritted teeth "Where is Jessica?" he questioned "You," pointing to the butler "Go and have someone prepare some soup for Clara" The butler bowed and left the study. Ragnor's gaze returned to Jack who was shaking like a leaf."Dead," Jack announced "You killed her?" "No, not really" Jack replied feeling guilty. He narrated the whole incident to Ragnor. What both of them did not know was it was Jessica's plan. Ragnor's eyes turn bloodshot, and his fangs and nails grew longer. His wings appeared, and he stabbed Jack's chest with his wings and pinned him to the wall. His feet suspending from the ground."This is your punishment for almost causing the death of my love. This job was assigned to you so you can ensure her safety but no, you cared more about your pride than your job" Ragnor said looking at Jack who has equally transformed into a vampire as a defensive m
Ragnor now informed Clara about Jessica and assured her she is doing very well and will be back at the mansion the next day. Even though Ragnor had informed Clara, that her friend was doing very well and will be back the next day she could not stay calm. She wanted to see her only best friend. Right after breakfast, Ragnor and Clara went to the hospital in the Porsche driven by Ragnor. They both spoke to the nurse who directed them to the ward where Jessica has been transferred to. They meet the servant on the way there and she leads them to Jessica.Clara runs quickly to Jessica's side with laughter amidst tears "How dare you do this to me" she chides. "For once I thought I lost you," Clara said half smiling and crying Jessica lifted her hand to touch Clara's face who was sitting next to her on the bed "Who said I was going anywhere. I just slipped and fell. That is all. I am fine and feel better. It is not easy to get rid of me," she said with a smile"What happened Jessica, y
Ragnor smiled, lowered his head and covered her lips with his. He kissed her more passionately than he had ever kissed her. In his kiss, he did express how he felt about her. Clara felt weak at her knees she leaned on Ragnor as both were still lost in the passion of their kiss.They both left the park and went to a nearby restaurant before heading home. It was past 7 pm, and Ragnor was feeling a little weak. Staying around Clara for the past forty-eight hours, he had not had time to feed himself. He could not use his powers on Clara anymore because his heart accepted her. He can't make her fall into a deep sleep as he did to her the first time he brought her to the mansion and subsequent times. His attention was divided while driving as he was thinking of how to leave the mansion late without Clara noticing and also paying attention to the road. He appeared to be normal behind the wheel"Is everything alright, you look troubled?" Clara asked worriedly "O shit, now she can read me too
He sat on the bed watching her shivering body. He took off his jacket and climbed into bed with her. He pulled her into his embrace. She held on to his warm body and drifted off to sleep. In the morning when Clara woke up, Ragnor was not by her side. She climb out of bed and went to take her bath and came downstairs after. She still could not find him. She went up to his room and he wasn't there either. She went to look for the butler"Good morning, how are you," she asked"I am fine ma'am. Thanks for asking. How are you?" The butler replied feeling happy inside.No one had ever cared enough to ask him how he is doing."Please, do you know where Ragnor is?" she asked "He received a call from the hospital this early morning, Ma'am, Jessica had been discharged. He went to get her," The butler repliedClara thanked him with a smile. She went to the kitchen and helped the servant prepare some dishes after insisting she wanted to cook. Ragnor entered the mansion with Jessica and the ot
"I want you," Clara said shyly. As usual in their passion, Ragnor was very careful not to push her beyond what she was ready for. He wants to make her happy. Aside from the fact that he has an unexplainable attraction towards her, she is his woman for life. His heart has chosen her. In all of this, if he is unable to win her trust, it will be the end of him when she finds out who he is or what he is. Jessica was still in her room. She had not repented of her evil plan. To her, Ragnor is hers and she should be the one enjoying this luxury not Clara. After all she saw him first and Clara snatched him from her with her pretence of innocence. She lay on the bed thinking of other means she can use to get rid of Clara and win Ragnor over. Back in Ragnor's room, Ragnor and Clara lay on the bed wrapped in each other's arms.Clara is deeply in love with Ragnor and hence could not say no to him and always end up giving in to her desire for him. However, believing his words to be true is
Jessica for once felt she was in front of a mountain lion that was going to end her life within a matter of seconds. His eyes turned red and for once she thought she was looking at a beast. She closed and opened her eyes again and saw the handsome attractive man with beautiful eyes just angry, walking away from her room. "What just happened." she thought "Did I just imagine what I saw out of fright," she thought again Ragnor was back at the car park. Clara was tired of sitting in the car and was outstanding by the car."Sorry for keeping you waiting" He kissed her forehead tenderly and they both sat in the back seat of the car. The chauffeur was already behind the wheel. Ragnor handed him a small travel file before closing the car separator. The car engine came to life and soon it moved towards the exit. "What was your question again?" He said smiling Clara blinked twice and answered looking at him "Do you love me" He smiled and the car drove out of the compound. After some m
Emily, who was standing at the entrance of the bedroom, closed her eyes and began to glow, Clara's eyes widened seeing a glowing little girl at the door. She pulled away from the embrace, looking at Ragnor puzzled."Brother do whatever comes to mind," said Emily."Distract her," Ragnor thought and he changed into his flying form and kissed ClaraRagnor used what Clara liked to distract her. He started glowing and Clara smiled wrapping her arms around him forgetting the glowing little girl at the door as she responded to his kisses. Inside the room, George was forced to protect his eyes and he moved back as the glow in the room became too bright with Emily, Nyota, Ragnor and Clara all glowing together. The glow slowly began to fade and the room returned to its original light. It was almost 5 a.m. and the top floor of the palace glowing, had attracted some people to the area wondering what was happening. Ragnor smiled seeing Clara was now breathing and her body temperature had become w
"I only have one question. Did she want to come back?" Emily asked walking towards Nyota."Yes, she wanted to come back but Emily it was not easy pulling her out of the place," Nyota replied and Emily smiled.While they were talking, Ragnor was just sitting on the bed, in the same position staring at Clara while holding her hand in his. He couldn't hear any of the conversation going on around him. All he could feel was the emptiness accompanied by the immersed pain of the loss of his beloved. George and Nyota led Emily out of the room and back to her room. They sat her down and tried to talk her out of what she wanted to do."Emily, I know you love and care a lot about Aunty Clara but you are not healing a sickness or something, you are using her body as a medium to connect with her soul to pull her back. Emily, you know you can die doing that," George said worriedly."Emily, I know you want to help, but this is dangerous. You don't have a fighting ability; how will you protect yourse
"Please tell me she is still alive," said Nyota whose eyes were still moist with tears.Ragnor sat on the bed looking at Clara who looked more like she was sleeping but her body temperature was cold. George walked towards Nyota and hugged her tightly."I wish I could but we are going to try to bring her back," George said and pulled away from Nyota and looked into her tears-stained eyes."You have connected with her soul before. Ragnor will get the poison out and heal her body. I need you to be strong once he is done. You will call her back," George said."She was not dead when I did that. I am not sure if that will work with her ......" Nyota's voice thrilled off. "She is still not dead. She is like, what we say, in a coma but if we don't do anything she will die for real," George said and inhaled deeply. "Nyota, don't look at it that way. Her mind is still alive and her heart beats faintly. You connected with a soul before, that is more important and you can connect again. For Ragno
"Let me call Ragnor," George said and immediately searched for his phone. Back at Andrews's apartment, Gabrielle was walking down the road carrying her baby at Andrews's command. She could not control her tears and as she walked away from their apartment in the night, she turned to look behind a couple of times at Andrews, who was still standing in front of the apartment watching her back and kept on urging her to go. Killing Clara was like touching the lion by the tail, there was no way Andrews would escape death. He just wanted to ensure no matter what happens to him, Gabrielle and the baby will be safe. Ragnor's roar which was shaking the whole building could still be heard. Hearing Ragnor roar, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you the immense pain he was going through for the loss of his beloved. Inside the building, Ragnor was still kneeling next to Clara's body, uncontrollable tears flowed down his face as he continued to roar into the silent night. His fangs had already
Ragnor sat on the roof waiting and thinking of how to rescue both mother and child.Andrews was pacing up and down his apartment wondering if Ragnor could save his family without him having to kill Clara. Clara is in the palace and for him to go there would be too suspicious and calling her would be equally suspicious. He knew at this moment it would be difficult to get to Clara without raising any suspicion. Back in the palace, Clara was sitting on the bed in deep thought wondering if Ragnor was okay and if Andrews's family was out of danger. Emily was with Nyota asking so many questions as it was her first time visiting the city. George was resting in his room as he was working on some changes they would like to implement in the city. Ragnor had come to the full realization of his power and could control them very well so George was not bothered about what was happening with Siku and Andrews's family. George was certain everything would be fine. Siku cannot walk free this time. Cla
"Please come quick, Siku is, she is, please help," Andrews cried and ended the call."I hope this will get them here faster. Clara, I am so sorry for what I am about to do. Please forgive me," Andrews said and quickly called Gabrielle's phone which Siku answered immediately."Ragnor is coming back tonight. Please don't harm my baby. I will do as requested," Andrews said."Now, that is what I want to hear. You see, things are a lot easier if you just listen and obey," Siku said and laughed. "Since you have been a good lad, I will let you see your wife briefly," she said and put on the phone camera. Andrews saw Gabrielle tied up to a chair, her hair dishevelled and a cloth tied around her mouth. The baby was lying on the bare carpet. Seeing the tears flowing down Gabrielle's face and the baby on the floor crying, he felt a sharp pain in his heart."Please, Princess, I beg you, let the baby lie on a bed or something, it's too cold to lie on the bare floor. I beg you. He is just a child,"
"Gabrielle, where are you? is everything alright?" he questioned "Hello, Andrews," came Siku's voice and the colour drained off Andrews immediately upon recognizing the person. "How did she get into the city?" Andrews thought with eyes widened, concerned about the safety of his wife and child. "Did you miss me?" Siku asked and laughed, knowing from his silence, he was in shock. "Okay, let's not make me do anything nasty which will get my newly purchased carpet stained with blood. Cleaning items are costly in this city," she said nonchalantly "Please, don't harm them, I would do anything you ask of me. I promise," came Andrews's trembling voice. "Now, that is something I like but unfortunately it seems it's too late for you Andrews because there is nothing you can do for me unless you already have a plan that would work," Siku said. "Just tell me what you want and I will get it for you, please don't harm my wife and child," Andrews pleaded. "Ha......ha......ha...... ha," Si
"A couple of days more and I do away with this facade is quite exhausting," Siku thought and proceeded to her bedroom. The next day, Andrews and Gabrielle arrived in the Immortal City with their newborn. Gabrielle was already exhausted from the trip, so once they entered their home, she decided to take advantage of the baby sleeping to also get some rest. Andrews, however, went to the palace to greet the King and inform him of his return. He was just in time as Ragnor and Clara were about to leave for Matara to go pick up Emily. "Welcome back," said Ragnor after Andrews greeted them. "Thanks, my king," Andrews replied and bowed respectfully. "I suppose you left Gabrielle in San Francisco?" asked Clara. "No, I came with her. She stayed back at home to rest. She is very tired from the trip," Andrews replied. "That is fine. Give her my love and tell her we will come to visit as soon as we return from Matara," Clara said. 'Thanks, Mrs Usiku," replied Andrews. "Wow, this is th
"You will come with me. We will fly," Ragnor said and Clara was happy. The next day, Ragnor was in a meeting with some council members and Nyota and Clara decided to take some time to admire the city. The city indeed had changed a lot with the new ideas of improvement. While in town they ran into Siku, Nyota frowned immediately upon seeing her but Clara happily greeted her. "Hello princess," Clara said with a smile and Siku smiled back shyly. "Please, just call me Siku," Siku said and lowered her gaze. Nyota frowned but was shocked by what she witnessed. If someone had told her, that Siku had a twin or clone version of herself with a different mind, she would believe it. She thought looking at Siku shocked. "I can't address you like that; you are still royalty," Clara pointed out and Siku sighed. "Clara, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" Siku asked, looking at Clara. "Don't worry about it. The past is in the past. It's a new day. Let it go and forgive yourself too
