All Chapters of Twist of Fate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Accalia- Over the next week, my entire life changed. Well, not entirely, but for the first time in, I don’t know how long, I was able to let go of my identities and be myself. As I spent time with Zy, I discovered more about myself. It was like I was able to find the girl I had been growing up before I was forced to grow up overnight. Not once did I worry about my status as the Princess being exposed or my identity as the leader of the Renegades. I was simply a girl, going to work, returning home to cook for her husband, and making friends. Even when I hid my identity, I could never just be me. With Zy, I could laugh freely and even embarrass myself without fear of consequences. Even if I had only been able to spend a few evenings with Zy this last week, every time had been better than the previous. If it weren’t for my responsibility to take over the throne for my father, I would willingly walk away and become an ordinary girl. It wasn’t just Zy who helped me be myself but also

Accalia-"What are you doing here?" Silica asked the moment I entered the building.Silica was covered with paint splatter. It appeared that while things were going up in flames for me, she and Eclipse were painting. I didn’t see Eclipse, but I was sure he was around somewhere."I came to stay here for a while." I tossed my bag on the ground."What is going on?" Eclipse emerged from one of the bathrooms."It is a long story." Glancing around, I was relieved that no one else was here at the moment. "I am starving. Is there anything to eat?"I walked to a mini fridge by the front desk, but it only had drinks. Grabbing a bottle of water, I chugged it until it was empty. Taking another water from the fridge, I closed the door. Eclipse had his phone out, calling someone and asking if they were almost here."It will be here soon." Eclipse said after he hung up."Good." I carried my water upstairs after retrieving my bag. "I will be upstairs until it gets here."By the way, they exchanged gl

Accalia-My gaze stayed on the recorder until Silica shoved it into her pocket. My emotions were becoming numb, and I was at a loss for what to do. I thought I would find clues when I arrived, but I hadn't been prepared to find something that could lead me to learn about how my mother died. Before my thoughts could run rampant, Eclipse came inside."Is everything loaded?" Silica asked once Eclipse walked up to us."I think so, but it wouldn't hurt to return to double-check. Right now, the truck is full.""How? We still had plenty of room last time I was out there." I looked past him toward the door, where his truck had been backed up so we could load things."I found a room with video recordings. There are over a thousand hours to go through." Eclipse showed me his phone, which had a picture of over twenty boxes with VHS tapes. "We will need to find a VCR or convert them to disk."Glancing around the now mostly empty lab, I felt a strong urge to leave. Even if this had belonged to my

Zydan-After settling everything with Lia and the other interns, I left the room in a huff. When I came face to face with my mother, I glared at her for a long moment without speaking. I might respect and love my mother, but she crossed the line. I might not have any proof, but I was sure she was behind Lia getting assigned to Shaw.“You can be mad at me all you want, but I am doing this for your own good. Lia isn’t good enough for you. The only one you should be with is her.” My mother gently shoved Arielle toward me.I noticed the moment that Arielle pretended to lose her balance as she fell toward me. She was clearly trying to use dirty tricks to get close to me. Reacting quickly, I stepped back to avoid Arielle falling into me while pivoting to the side.Jaxon exited the office at the perfect time and stuck his foot out to cause Arielle to trip for real. “Oh, sorry about that.” Jaxon smirked.“You should really watch where you are going.” I commented as Jaxon stepped over Arielle

Zydan-Arriving at the hotel, I checked my phone to see the time. Only then did I realize I had the phone on silent and had thirteen missed calls. I didn’t recognize the number and considered calling them back after checking on Lia. Before I put my phone back in my pocket, it lit up again with the same unknown number. “Hello?” I answered the phone as I walked toward the elevator and pressed the button. “Thank you!” A familiar female voice sounded breathless. “I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t be able to get ahold of anyone.” “Who is this?” I asked as I waited for the elevator to arrive. “My name is Silica.” She answered, but before I could ask why she was calling me, she continued talking. “I don’t have time to explain all the details, but I need to talk to your wife. Is she near you?” “No, she is meeting with Shaw Payne right now.” I answered. The tone of her voice was alarming. Pressing the button to the elevator again, I hoped it would hurry up. A sense of urgency fille
