“What the hell are you doing here? I thought you will be protecting your daughter day and night,” Pain spoke.I smiled at him, “well, my dear Pain, the enemies I had that will physically hurt my child are no more and those that are still here can never show themselves to me or any of my family members because they are scared.”The only one I was scared of was Frazer. But that was sorted out. The queens, because of Carl, are keeping him grounded for me. And I do hope they will keep him there for a while. Because I need to leave in peace. Also, because I’m just way too busy with my wedding.Me, Pain and Regret, where in their room that they allowed me to be in when I needed some time alone. While Joseph, Pit and our new girl were on the other side trying to find what will fit them.Well, Pit thought it will be okay to find something for Koko, that she might love a present from him. Joseph spoiled his girlfriend and told her time and time again ever since we got here that she can have wha
Me and Pit stood at the altar as we waited for our brides. Roland was bringing Maria and Pit’s grandfather was going to bring Koko to him. How the hell did we find ourselves with girls that have messed up parents?Pit wore the most weird yet genuine smile I have ever seen on him. Joseph and Abigail sat on the front sit. After introducing her to the rest of the family, they liked her. Because she had people’s skills. The woman worked in a trip club for the love of God. Of course, she was going to have people skills.Maria had the same concerns as I did. Because she never wanted us to go to the strip club and because she remembered her hat had happened with Carl and his girlfriend. So, she also thought this woman would do the same to Joseph.But her been her, she didn’t say anything to her or do anything. She just watched and smiled. Also congratulated them for this new gift. But privately she told me she told the girl to go if she was planning to leave Joseph. That if she was not here t
The entire scene was intense, if you ask me. I mean, we have a freaking Death in front of us who is not smiling now. His face filled with nothing but rage.Really don’t know why I would think a man named Death would be good for my family or me. The first time I met him, I should have distanced myself from him and his siblings. Because they have brought nothing but trouble to me and my family. I mean, just look where we are right now.Maria and my daughter were close to me. If I were to die, I would die a fortunate man. Carl has gone to make sure I’m safe. So, he stood beside his father and mother. That made me smile as well. Seeing them get along after a long time of separation.Pit had taken his grandparents and his bride out of this place. Of course he did that because I told him me and my family will be okay. This is what we signed up for and we were used by now. But he needed to go and make sure his family stays safe. And besides, Koko was new to this world, and she needed a break
Didn’t even know what to do or say to what happened. I was trying to keep a calm head and not rush. Because when you rush, you crash. And then what Pain and Regret told me came back to me.‘What if he uses your daughter to damage you emotionally? To play mind games with you.’ Those words echoed in my head for almost an hour. Because they have been right and I was thinking Death was no coward.The man has shown me he will do whatever it takes to have me. To hurt me and let me feel the pain he was feeling. But he was just a man born in anger. He was Death and everything about him was just bad news. I should have known that and realized it was stupid to associate myself with him. Even his brothers and sister.Now my baby was gone and so was my wife. What I was going to do to get them back was unknown to me. I have nothing in my head that can help. I was blank, and that hurt me even more.For all I know, he is there making my wife see him do all sorts of things to my daughter. He was maki
Knowing Carl was an emotional person, I knew I needed to take this as carefully as holding an egg on a spoon and being scared to break it while I ran for dear life.Everything Death said might have sounded true to him. And after what happened to us in fea, I knew he was going to take this hard. It was like Death was bringing old wounds back.I was adamant about Carl and the queen’s getting together. He was as well. But after Odin told him he will never find love and no one will love him as much as he will love them, he felt like crap. Carl was one of the few people I have met that has known love and knew how to show it very well. So hearing that triggered something in him. And that something was what I was scared of.He allowed the queens to be his girlfriend because he knew they wanted him. Because he knew they have loved him or liked him ever since they first laid their eyes on him. And he was willing to be with them for that reason. Not caring what was going to happen to him or if
“I might not know what you are going through because I haven’t lost what you have. None of us can understand you,” Joseph spoke as we sat at the bar inside my house drinking wine. “But we are here for you, brother. I have no family except you. You have taken me in and have trusted me with your company, brother. And I will do about anything to help you get both Maria and my niece,” he spoke and patted my back.“I have Koko in my life because you and Maria helped me out. Because you gave me a second chance and I will not miss that. Ever,” Pit spoke and switched off his phone finally. His father has been calling him ever since what had happened earlier.I knew what he was thinking. That he needed to keep his son away from me as far as he could. Because I was trouble and everywhere I went, it seemed to follow me.Just sat there looking at both of them. Smiling and thankful that I have people like them with me. Even though Pit and I had our differences, he was still my friend, and he has b
We stood at a dark opening as we waited for Hope and Thought to arrive. As I said, Carl being Carl followed me again to the land of fae. Also, I think he just needed to see the queens because he had been bothering me about them ever since we arrived in fae.I refused to go to my house and see Odin because I didn’t want to see him and because I never wanted to talk to him because of what they have been keeping from me.And after me and Vykalia had that talk last night, I never had a chance to talk to Roland. And I knew she told him about our talk.He wanted to talk to me about it before Carl and I came here, but I told him we will do that when I get back. I was just tired of all of them. They have been lying to my face and will wait until things escalate, then they will tell me what is really going on. I didn’t want that in my life right now.Odin knew what was going to happen to my daughter. The queen returned the books to him and there was no excuse. He could have told me that was ke
We stood at an opening after running for almost an hour. After Thought told us to run, we all just did that, no questions asked. I mean, how the hell do you question someone who can read your mind and know what you are thinking? We just all did what he told us to do, and that was that.Looked at my poor cat and he was panting like hell. Because he had gained weight for the past months, he couldn’t even run properly. He kept saying we should stop and take a rest. But neither of us paid any attention to him.“Thought what the hell was that?” I asked, trying to catch a breath. “We have been running for nearly an hour and yet you haven’t said anything to any of us as to why we are running.”He looked up and me then at his brother, “you did hear him right? Death,” he asked, looking at Hope as though he wanted him to prove he wasn’t going crazy. “Hope?”Hope looked from his brother to me, then to Carl, who had his hands still resting on his knees as he breathed loudly. “Death heard what Tho
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 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
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
