“Odin, why the hell did you think it necessary to tell our son that he will never find love?” Vykalia asked, as Odin served us tea.After we finished up with the queens, we just wanted to make sure other strings are okay if they decide to go against us.Because at this point we didn’t know what they were going to do to us or about the situation that we now face. But there were only two steps they could take from where we left them.They could either do what Vykalia and Roland asked them to, or they could decide to go against that and rain on us. I mean, after the show that both Vykalia and her husband pulled, they must have been pretty pissed. They humiliated them in front of their guards, and there is no greater embarrassment than that to me.So, just to make sure we still had people on our side, we decided to pay Odin a visit and to just let him know what was happening and let him know he should prepare for the worst. But that was what I was here for.Vykalia was here for something
After we finished up in fea, and finally convinced the old man to marry the queens, we decided we needed to get back home and wait for things to unfold. Not until that time and hour will we go back to fea again.Because, to be honest, that place scars the crap out of me most of the time. And I was just happy to be home. I never wanted to go, but after seeing how mad Vykalia was when I told them Carl left, I just had to escort them and make sure everything was okay.Also, I was the one keeping them grounded. I was the only person that behaved well there. Both of them were way too mad to deal with anyone. And those consequences will find us in one way or the other. I just hope they don’t.And now we sat around the dining table as we ate the food Maria prepared for all of us. I gave her a call as we were about to come back and she decided to prepare us something to eat. Which was nice all together, and I was just happy to see them all home happy and healthy. Even my sister was here, even
“Justine, it was a dream and I don’t think you should pay much attention to it. Do I make myself clear? She is your sister for the love of God. And I don’t think she can do anything to hurt you,” Maria explained as she cleaned the room.After that dream I had, we went back to sleep and when I woke up again after struggling to go back to sleep, the first thing I remembered was that same dream.I tried by all means to blush it off, but couldn’t. Yes, I knew that part of her fate, so they told me and they were made to believe was that she was to destroy me.But I also thought she had some good in her, something that was stronger than whatever they might have done to her when she was a child. Whatever made them separate her from me.“I know that, Maria, but what do you expect me to think?” I said, still seated on my bed.Again, I thought about what she was doing. Every time I found her in rather weird situations, that made me question her intentions. If it was all a coincidence or what?F
“You need to forget about that dream, Justine. Nothing will happen to me or any of your family. We all will be fine,” Maria said as I drove us to our first stop for our date.I was silent for a while as I still tried to think about that dream and try to remove the picture in my head. Because ever since that night my head has never been the same, even when I saw my sister earlier I kept thinking she was going to do something to my wife just like she did in my dream.“It’s just not you I’m worried about. I’m worried about her as well,” I told her, but didn’t even look at her.She sighed as she leaned on the backrest, “and you need to top worrying about her as well. Yes, she can be a psycho at times. But that was before she changed and she is now trying to mend her ways and you are not helping in any way. And we talked about this. You need to stop thinking she has some arterial motives. She came to you hoping to find a brother. Don’t give her crap, by thinking she will be the death of me
“Just a few minutes you couldn’t stop talking about the dream and that your sister might betrayer you. And now you trusted two people we just met with keeping our daughter and son safe? Make this make sense to me, Justine,” she asked as I drove us to the company.Technically, that was not even supposed to happen if only she came through with remaining with the kids. But because those are her parents we are talking about, she said she wanted to be there and make sure they weren’t doing anything stupid.Also, because she knew this time, I was not going to feel pit on them. She knew I was never going to allow them to get away with this after what has been happening in my life. First Carl goes missing and we can’t even find him and we haven’t heard anything from the queens. And then I have that dream about my sister.So, Maria was scared I might not take it easy on them. That I was already upset, and they were adding on to y anger. Which I felt was the right thing.“Maria, they are old pe
Chapter 202I didn’t even know what to do at this point or what to say. Because what the hell were they doing here? But again, it should have been something that I should have anticipated. Roland and his wife messed up my deal with the queens by treating them like trash, and now I have to suffer the consequences. I wonder why everything had to somehow come back to me even when I wasn’t involved in it. This move they made was not okay and I needed to pay them a visit. This time I will be the one to humiliate them in front of their workers and they can kill me for something I did, not something that one of my family members did. I looked at Frazer and then at Susan, still looked the same as the last time I saw him. He was smiling at me as he waited for me to say something other than calling his name. But I didn’t have what to say to him, except that I needed him out of my company and that is that. And why the hell didn’t Joseph mention this on the phone? All he said was that my in-la
“So now what are we going to do?” Roland asked as we all sat in the living room. And this time Joseph was with us. Everything that has been happening recently he was never involved. And to be honest I never wanted him to get involved in anything that happened in my life. Making him not be there for his son when the boy was growing up was way too much for me. I can’t be the reason something else goes bad in his life. The people that got involved got involved by choice. And then some people just had to get involved. For example my wife. Maria was the other part of me and she needed to know everything that was happening in my life, and I never found anything wrong with that. If I don’t tell her what is happening she usually gets upset and throws a tantrum in one way or the other. Roland and Vykalia, also they had to be involved because of my parents. And this current situation was because of them. Half of the things that happened in my life were because of them and their involvement.
“What did you want to tell me?” She asked as we entered the room and I slammed the door shut. I walked and gestured for her to take her seat. “Why does this seem like you are going to tell me something that will change my life? Justine I don’t want some crappy thing right now in my life. My sister is busy running around with your brother who wants to end your life. And my parents are in support of that simply because they hurt you. I think that is enough for me to handle, man,” she said looking at me with all actuality. I smiled and just took my seat next to her on the bed, “that is what I wanted to talk to you about. Your parents and your sister,” I said and held her hands. “What about them? Will you get to the damn point already,” she scolded not having it right now. I sighed, “I don’t know what is going to happen from now. I have no idea what Vykalia and Roland will do to my half-brother or your sister. Yes, as far as Roland said that we never give up on family, I saw him at h
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
