Chapter 81

Blossom POV A few hours later, I finally arrive at the castle, and I can't help but mutter to myself, "No wonder Dean wanted to drive so fast." I briefly wonder why Dean hasn't reached out to me through our mind link, but I dismiss the thought, figuring he must be the one who orchestrated this whole getaway. Besides, he's out of town on business, so I decide it's best not to intrude on him right now.As I approach the castle, I notice the drawbridge is down, allowing me to drive right in without any obstacles. Once I park in the garage, I suddenly realize that it was rather foolish of me to leave home without packing a bag. "I'm sure Jovielyn will have something I can wear," I think optimistically. After a brief walk through the empty courtyard, I make my way into the castle, feeling a sense of anticipation bubbling within me.However, as I enter, I hear something that makes me pause. Footsteps echo in the hallway. The castle feels starkly empty, much quieter than the last time I vis

Chapter 82

Dean POV I arrive at the villa completely unaware that my wife is missing. It strikes me as strange that she hasn't tried to contact me, but I assume she must just be at home, relaxing. A full day has passed since her abduction.As I search the villa, a sickening sense of dread creeps over me when I realize she's nowhere to be found. I check the backyard and notice the remote control lying near Boo's play area. In the kitchen, I sift through the mail and come across a letter from Jovielyn. "That's odd," I murmur to myself. "My mom hasn't written a letter since telephones were invented."Growing anxious, I ask the security team where she is, but they haven't seen her since yesterday and assumed she was in our room. "Really, guys? This is what I pay you for, and you can't even keep an eye on her?" My frustration simmers, but I have no idea how furious I'm about to become.I call my mother, but she doesn't answer the first two times. On the third attempt, she finally picks up, sounding

Chapter 83

Dean POV At that moment, Maria steps outside with drinks and snacks for the search parties. She notices the brewing conflict between Aries and me but wisely refrains from intervening. Instead, she walks up and offers us food and drink. Aries glances at her but remains silent, while I keep my gaze fixed on my father without even blinking."Dean, why not just marry Liza and be done with it? She loves you dearly, and Blossom is a bad influence. I've heard plenty about her," Aries presses."Over my ancestors' ashes, if you don't stop this nonsense right now, I swear I will remove your head with my bare hands," I retort, my anger boiling over.Caleb returns to the villa and, upon learning about the situation in the backyard, rushes around the house to find Aries and me just inches apart, shouting at one another. He hurries over and starts to pull us apart, insisting that this is not the time for our argument.But Aries pulls Caleb into the fray, fueled by what Liza had said. "Son, how coul

Chapter 84

Dean POV As we anxiously wait for Mom to call back, Caleb and I sit at the kitchen table, our nerves on edge. It's only been ten minutes since we hung up, but when the phone rings, I leap to answer it. It's my mother on the line."Hey, baby, I have both good news and bad news. The bad news is that someone stole the security hard drive, and there are no backups. The good news, however, is that because it was taken, I can confidently say it was someone we know. Someone we know well." Her voice sounds a bit off."Yeah?... How well do you know them?" I ask, my heart pounding."When was the last time you spoke to your father, Dean?" she inquires."Tell me it's him. Please, I want you to," she suggests, sensing that I might be losing my grip."I can't guarantee it was him, but he's one of the few besides the guards who have access to that footage," she clarifies. "So don't jump to conclusions just yet."I thank her and hang up, feeling a sense of despair creeping in. Everything inside me s

Chapter 85

Dean POV Maria enters the conversation, urging us to get some rest. "We won't be any good to anyone if we try to fight or make rational decisions while exhausted," she points out. "And let's not forget, Diana just walked for days to get here.""She's right," Caleb acknowledges."Alright, how about this: the first one of us to wake up alerts the others. Sound good?" I propose.Everyone agrees, and Maria guides Diana to a spare room. I head to the study, seeking the solitude I need to unwind when I'm stressed. Caleb retreats to his room, and soon, the villa is cloaked in darkness as all the lights shut off for the night.......Awakening from a nightmare, I glance at the clock and see that I've only been asleep for half an hour. The vividness of my dream leaves me anxious about falling back asleep, so I grab a book to distract myself. However, before I can even get through a few paragraphs, exhaustion pulls me back under.Once again, I find myself dreaming. This time, I'm hurtling thro

Chapter 86

Dean POV Along with Caleb and Diana, we decide to meet at Jovielyn's castle, which is situated in the same area as Aries' manor. We need to search for more clues to confirm our suspicion that Aries set this whole thing in motion. We don't expect to find any direct evidence linking him to the kidnapping—he's too clever for that—but I believe that if we uncover anything that points to Liza, Hugo, and Fina being involved, then Aries is almost certainly pulling the strings.It's been a while since I last saw my mother—since the day of the party, in fact—and Caleb hasn't seen her since the day after. Jovielyn is eager to see us again, despite feeling dreadfully ill. When Caleb introduces Diana, Jovielyn is charmed but laments that their meeting comes under such unfortunate circumstances. Diana agrees but expresses that it's still an honor.I ask Jovielyn if we can speak to Jonas, and she replies that it shouldn't be a problem, but finding him among the castle grounds might take some time.

Chapter 87

Blossom POV It's dark.Very dark. You'd have to be here to truly grasp how the deepest pitch black you've ever encountered doesn't hold a candle to this. If I couldn't feel my fingers or touch my face, I'd think I was trapped in some kind of purgatory. And right now, I'm not even thankful for the sense of touch. It's freezing, and I can feel thick, mucky wetness surrounding me.I hear water running, but I can't see if it's even drinkable—or if it's water at all. It sounds more like 'liquid falling into a drain.' The stench in this place is unbearable, like a truck filled with rotten meat crashing into a pile of dead animals and tumbling into a dumpster overflowing with corpses.What I wouldn't give to be back in the castle garden right now. Or to be in Dean's arms.It seems unlikely, but maybe I can send a message to him...(Baby, if you can hear this, please come help me. Liza and Hugo have completely lost their minds, and I'm terrified.)Scratch that thought...Can I still shapeshi

Chapter 88

Blossom POV When I awaken, I hear what I think is a woman's voice calling out to me. My eyes flutter open, and suddenly everything seems clearer, as if a dim light has been turned on, even though it hasn't. I can make out the size of the room, the stairs, a hose with water flowing beside a drain, and a bucket. The colors around me are dull, but I can tell that the liquid dripping into the cellar is either rusty water or blood... and I pray for rusty water."Hey," the woman's voice calls out again, startling me. I jump to my feet, surprised by the unfamiliar presence but sensing some strange connection. "I spent my last days in a place like this. It wasn't until I fought my way out that they had no choice but to do what they brought me here to do. They would have left me to starve if I hadn't forced their hand," she adds, and I start to piece together who it might be."Is that you, Eliza?" I ask hesitantly."Maybe. I'm not entirely sure anymore. I feel like I've been wandering for so

Chapter 89

Blossom POV I jolt awake to the jarring screech of rusted metal hinges, squinting toward the light streaming down from the top of the stairs—the first light I've seen since the bag snatched it from me in the garden of the castle. I can't be sure how long I've been trapped in this cellar, but two days in darkness feel like an eternity.As my eyes gradually adjust, I catch the silhouette of a large man at the top of the stairs. He seems to be staring at me, but the light doesn't reveal his face. However, I finally begin to see the details of my surroundings, and the gruesome sight of coagulated blood smeared on the walls makes my stomach churn. I can't help but retch, spilling my stomach's contents onto the ground.With a pained effort, I manage to voice my thoughts. "Dean?... Whoever you are, please help me. I've been taken by some terrible people. Please... just help..." I glance around, relieved to notice that the running water is clear.The silhouette lets out a deep, rumbling laug

Chapter 90

Blossom POV As I manage to quiet the voices, I open my eyes. The darkness no longer feels so oppressive; I can clearly see the entire room and its sparse contents. A sense of peace lingers in my mind—a residual glow of calmness that comes from clearing away all biased thoughts, both good and bad.Feeling thirsty, I glance at the water hose, instinctively knowing where it is. I pick it up, sip from the end, and gently place it back on the floor. Sitting on the second stair from the bottom, I decide to continue strengthening my mind.I recall what my parents told me: if I ever needed them, I should just breathe. I'm beginning to grasp that truth and find myself wishing I could return to that moment for one last goodbye. "It wasn't just a dream," I realize. "They were truly here with me. That means Eliza was here too."The only sounds are the persistent dripping and the flow of water, accompanied by the quiet sound of my own tears hitting the grimy floor."What should I do?" I mutter to
