“What do you mean, you think she will win the case? I didn’t come here from my session with Hope so that you can lose. I know she played her cards perfectly well. And she is still doing that. But that doesn’t give you a chance to give up. You have never been a quitter and you won’t start now,” she spoke as she took my hand. “I know you are going through a rough patch right now. And all this is just way too overwhelming. But we need this. It's not only about us beating her. It’s about you getting your company back.” She spoke. Her ember cat eyes look straight into mine.

I just sighed and smiled. Maybe I was feeling a little overwhelmed about what has happened in the past few days. Me losing my powers and losing the company. And maybe losing Suzen did as well affect me just as it did Maria and Joseph. Because she was carrying my nephew or niece after all. Maybe losing Nathan as well was just as detrimental to me.

I have been trying to stay strong for all of them. To keep showing them I’

    “Justine, what were you talking about in there? And why did you lie about it? Why didn’t you tell me what was going on between the two of them,” Maria asked as we stood a few paces from the courthouse.I didn’t even know what to tell her. I mean I said what I said, but I didn’t know if it was the truth or not as well. Not until they acted the way they acted.I have seen them once or twice in some awkward moments that made me think something was going on between the two and nothing more. But it just happened that I was right. And what old lady out there wouldn’t want a mate as young as John? Come on.“Stop smiling Justine. This is not funny. I need you to tell me everything,” she spoke, even though she was smiling as well about how things turned out.“There is no story to tell, my beloved wife. Except that she cheated on your grandfather. I also was not sure about everything. But their reaction gave them out. I just hope your mother will be okay. Because these things do separate parent

    I sat on my bedroom balcony as I tried to think about everything. Like what just happened with Frazer and Roland's wife. And everything about him keeps scaring the crap out of me.Tonight reminded him of what happened when he was a kid. How my father and his workers failed to keep him safe and his mother. Seeing our father raising me well and into the man I am today.I don’t know if I just have major trust issues, but those trust issues have saved me a lot of times. Because I like to think about things over and over again. And because I like to be sure about the surrounding people, it has saved me and my family a lot of times.But again, I can’t be doing this behind his back when he has been trying to prove to me that he has changed. If he ever figured out what I was thinking about him, I couldn’t even imagine what he could do to me and my family. I have nothing at the moment that can assure me I will keep me and my family safe. I’m still training with Void, and that woman is not doin

    We sat in the backyard as I tried to get her to speak. But everyone was inside because I didn’t want any of them to get involved. Because I didn’t want any of them to be hurt.They all seemed to be thinking I couldn’t help myself because I don’t have my powers any more. Even though I have been training with Void.And knowing Carl too well, he will get in the way and try to help me. Even when it means him been killed.“Dream we don’t have all night. Carl’s mother just told us we have some crazy psychopath that want me and my half brother dead. And now you show up at my doorstep looking like you have seen a ghost. What the hell happened?” I asked again and stood up.After a few heartbeats, she looked up at me. Then gestured for me to take my seat. Something about her eyes didn’t give me a good assurance of what happened. It only made me mad and scared.She cleared her throat and opened her mouth. But closed it again. She tried doing that for some time, but no word came out.Was it that

    Chapter 111I stood outside the courthouse. Taking as many deep breaths as I can. But that seemed not to do much work. It did help in its own way. But not as much as I needed it to.I looked up to God. Asking him for guidance and help with what I will say and do in there. To see me through and help me with dealing with that old lady.I didn’t want to lose myself in the middle of whole these things that are happening to me at once.“You got this,” I told myself as I passed up and down.Because I didn’t want any of my family members involved, I told them to stay at home. While some more than others.Frazer and Joseph went to the company to take care of things while I deal with grandma. Carl and his wife refused to stay at home for any longer. Because they needed something to punch. Hence, the couple went to the strip club where we found Carl’s girlfriend.So, that only leaves my wife, Carl’s mother, and Roland at home. While also, Hope. After last night, he didn’t go back home because o

    I looked from Mateo to the judge, and the woman just gestured for me to answer the question.“I don’t know what he is getting at and how much they gave him for him to be accusing me of something I didn’t do. Why would I burn my in-laws’ house? I know my wife is not talking to them because of what they did, but she wouldn’t be happy about that, my righteous judge,” I looked at her with a smile.There was a pause as Mateo looked at me with a smile. That kind that makes you freak the hell out. I never knew Mateo was a villain in the first place. So, me expecting anything as bad from him was something I was starting to see happening.The man turned bad overnight. Apparently, he was the one that hired Revoc junior and took care of him as a child. Natured him into the bad, unreasonable person he was.He planned everything so perfectly that I never thought of him to be a bad person. Made sure I believed that Revoc was responsible for everything.Now that I think about it, the man was the one

    I really wanted to make amends with my in-laws. But I wasn’t planning on making the same mistake again. We learn from our mistakes.But again, this involves forgiving and forgetting. Something I just told my wife to do. But those people have made my life a leaving nightmare my all life. They never approved of my marriage to their daughter in the first place. So, why would they love me when I have money?At some point, I really thank my parents for everything they did. For allowing the world to see me as this poor guy. I got to know who were my friends and who will stay by my side regardless of what I was going through.My in-laws are one of the people that showed me their true colors. And despite that, I decided to let bygones be bygones, but what did they go and do?Took my company and nearly killed my all family. Well, they managed to kill their pregnant daughter and my friend Nathan. That is something that will be with me my all life.I might forgive them, but forgetting might be a

    “You are saying someone wearing all black left this?” Roland asked as he read the paper the woman left.I just received the best news of my life and this is what is happening? How do you even be happy when you know trouble will come running to you? And that too when trouble is for the one you want to keep away from everything and everyone chasing you?I looked at my wife, and the poor thing was terrified beyond anything. She knew what she was doing marrying me. That I can acknowledge. But none of us knew the time she would be pregnant they would be a lunatic out to get our baby. I mean how the hell did she even know Maria was pregnant?I looked at my surroundings. But none of them looked like they could betray my trust. They have proved to me they are loyal friends. People I can trust with my life.Then if not them, who was distributing information to that woman?I looked at Esther again, the woman only knew Dream. Where they met, I don’t know and how much Dream knows about her I have

    I sat on my bed as I tried to contemplate what was happening in my life now. I don’t have any powers to defend my family when the woman comes to do whatever she wanted with my baby. Or when the people that were hunting us come for me and my brother.Yes, Void was currently training me, but I also know that will be of little effect judging by the fact that people that wanted me dead were powerful.“You know worrying will take you nowhere right?” Maria walked over and sat next to me — rubbing her hand on my back in a soothing way. “Give all your worries to the one above. And what is even the point of you worrying about this? If you can do something about it, then do it. If you can’t do anything about it, then let go,” she spoke. “I need my husband here. It needs its dad here,” she spoke and put my hand on her stomach.I looked at her and smiled. All that she has said was correct. But I was not just worried about her and the baby. I was scared to fail them. To fail to protect my family.

    Chapter 219 Carl went flying as a bolt of lightning hit him. He then came to a stop upon slamming the wall. He then turned to me, smiling in the most psychopathic way possible. He waved a hand and my sister was floating in the air, I didn’t know what to do at this point. I told her to stay away and allow me to do this. But she would be damned if she ever listened to me. “Frazer, let’s just talk about this. I know you also don’t want this to happen. She is not just my sister but yours as well,” I said, raising my hands in surrender. I looked past him to Carl, but my poor cat was far gone. But I just sighed when I saw he was still breathing. I needed to think of what to do, and I needed to think fast. Just when I started liking her and accepting her into our family, this happened. I need to make sure she is fine. That I go home with her. I can’t lose her as well. Suddenly, the faces of my parents came to mind when I found them lying dead. I don’t want to lose her. I can’t lose he

    To say I knew what I was doing hundred percent I would be lying. Because all I knew was I had to put an end to my brothers' madness. How I was going to do that and if what I plan will work I didn’t know. But I was hoping for it to work. For everything to go fine with me and my family. I turned to look at Carl who was getting ready—well he was doing that by eating. Saying he needed energy for when my brother arrived. My sister, on the other hand, was on her phone. She looked and smiled at me here and there, but none of us talked. After Maria and the kids left the house with the others, I made a call to Frazer. Telling him we needed to put an end to this and that I needed to talk to him. He did mention that I should be alone—but I told him I was with Carl and our sister. And he was happy to meet her. At least that is what he said to me. So, now we waited in the living room. And the more we waited the more my heart raced. I just wanted this to be over, at this point, I wasn’t even thi

    Everything for a while felt normal. But it was a fleeting moment that passed like it was not even there. But again, I did appreciate everything about that moment. The talk I just had with her changed everything else in my life. I was reminded of why I married her. Why I loved her. And she reminded me again of what family is and what I should do in this situation. I looked at my sister as she sat on her bed, facing her back to me. I don’t think I have ever been in her room before. It looked grime—just had that dark vibe to it that I couldn’t comprehend. But after talking to Maria I just smiled and accepted her the way she was. They did say she was different from me. And change doesn’t come just like that. Baby steps I guess. She finally turned with a smile, “I’m sorry this is happening. I should have been here sooner to help you take down our half-brother. Your friend wouldn’t have gone through this if I was here.” I just smiled as I walked to sit next to her, “maybe that would

    Frazer wanted to hurt me the most. Not physically, but mentally. To play with me and make sure I break down slowly.He was going to enjoy that more than anything. He wanted me to feel the pain that he felt when he was a child. Alone.I can’t even blame my father or mother anymore. They weren’t good parents. But with him they did try. He just saw the bad side of us and there was no changing that.We explained to him what happened and still he was hell bent on making me pay for my father’s mistakes. Some people we meet.Roland tried to tell him what really happened but still he only took what he wanted to take from that story he heard.If he was to change, he would have changed by that time. I trusted him and allowed him to leave in my house and be a part of this family. And that was the reason we were here right now. Maria lost her sister and Alexander lost his mother. And Joseph lost the woman he started to fall in love with. I think.But all this was leading to one thing. And that th

    The reason I loved Carl and always wanted to talk to him about anything that happened in my life was because he cared for me. Because he never judged me and never scolded me or called my plans stupid. Yes, there are times when he doesn’t like what I’m about to do or what I have in mind, but he never says it outright. He was always objecting to my plans in a rather nice way. But also because he was here for me. And will do anything to support me. He knew what to say to you at the right moment. Well, maybe because he knew what was happening in your head, but either way I was just happy that my Carl was here and he will help me with what I have in mind. “Where did mother and father say they last saw Frazer? We can start from there. I will try to ask around, maybe someone has seen him somewhere,” he said calmly as he sipped on the wine. I just sighed as I thought about everything. I haven't talked to Roland ever since I came here. Apart from asking him what the hell was going on when

    Well, this was a lot to take in. It does hurt knowing your brother is a piece of crappy and the reason why most people are going through a lot. I have tried telling myself things will be fine and he didn’t mean anything he did. Maybe he was just upset that he didn’t want to listen anymore. But how far can he go for me to hear him? How long will it take him to learn something from what he was doing? I know we never give up on family, or anyone for that matter, but maybe my brother is long gone and the sooner all of us accept that the better. I can’t even face the people I call my family and the people I love because of what he was doing. Because of what he did I can’t be with any of them. Every time I look at Alexander I’m reminded that I’m also at fault for his mothers death. I can’t look at Maria without thinking that her losing her sister is somewhat my fault. I should have managed my brother a long time ago. I should have dealt with him when I had that chance. And the reason he

    Everything was happening too fast and I was failing to keep in touch with all of the things that were going on in my life. I never wanted this to happen to any of my family members. And Suzan was the last person I wanted dead. She wasn’t my favorite person in the world, but she was the mother of Alexander and as such, I wanted her to be alive and back with her family. Was this yet another one of my brother’s plans? He played this game before and that is why we are in this mess right now. Was he planning to do something even worse than the last time? I looked at Joseph and just kept rubbing my hand on his back. I didn’t know what to say or do at this point, this was the last thing I expected to happen to him or any of us. And besides, I never knew what he felt for her, all I knew was he was drunk that night and that is how he and her ended up sleeping together and Alexander came about. That was all I knew as far as their relationship went. Did he feel anything else for her? Was he

    CHAPTER 212

    Chapter 212 We entered the house and my eyes and my heart were filled with joy as I saw who stood in front of me. He looked old now, not that much, but he looked matured and his face was filled with fur. I just smiled as he smiled back at me, his eyes tearing up but didn’t make an attempt to move a muscle. And neither did I. I wanted to, but I guess none of us wanted to show my sister that we were weak and we couldn’t handle emotions. “You know you missed each other right?” She asked smiling from me to Carl. “He was crying every day because you were not there. And now he is pretending to be a grown up.” She added as an afterthought. I just looked at him and then walked to him, “I did. A bit. You left because you wanted to leave us behind. So, I didn’t miss you that much,” I smiled and he did the same. “But my kids wanted you. That is why I did everything I could to get you back,” I walked and hugged him so tightly I could fill his cat bones break. Then he said with a wizzed voic

    CHAPTER 211

    After a while we finally reached the palace for the queens. And the first person that walked outside the palace was my sister. Which only made me happy to see that she was still alive and well. I didn’t expect anything bad to happen to her, but I was just scared I guess. Scared that they might not listen to her and she might do something drastic to make them listen to her. But she was alive and well. I just sighed in relief. She smiled as she walked to me and Odin. Then stopped after reaching about three feet from us. “I don’t think you have been introduced yet,” I said, smiling from one to the other. I knew Odin knew my sister, but maybe she doesn’t know him that well. Hearing about him yes, but knowing him like I did no. “So, this is my beloved sister, and sister, this is Odin. An old friend that our parents decided to place in our lives. Over all, he is an amazing person,” I said and they just shook hands. But immediately they let go, it was like a reflex from the old man — he
