I looked at the wall, trying to understand what it all meant. Maybe I was just in denial that something like this was going to happen and I might be the cause of it. I mean, Carnage kept telling me I was the one that wrote everything on the wall, but I have been refusing.Giving myself motivational pep talks, I was a kid, and I did not know what was happening at the time. That she took advantage of me and wrote that. But glimpses of what happened here when I was a kid have been flashing in my head.Clips of my early life were coming one by one. And after seeing the Omega war and everything about it on the wall, I remembered myself writing it. But I was trying to refuse it. That this all thing was a setup or something.“It’s happening, Justine. This all thing will happen in the future or now?” Joseph asked by my side.After a while, I opened the door to check up on him because I wasn’t just feeling okay with the fact that he was locked there and he wasn’t making noise. And now he was h
I sidestepped as his green light missed me. Then I slammed my lightning bold, and it hit him, sending him flipping in the air. But before he could hit the ground, Joseph kicked him in the ribs and send him flying until he slammed a tree.Without giving him a chance to attack, I went running towards him, outdoing every spell and jinx he set at me. Then I flung a hand but missed. He then caught my harm and flipped me in the air, then slammed me back down.He then held his hand, and Joseph hovered in the air.“Enough!” he shouted, then let us both go. “I just want to talk. I have done nothing for her yet. If you don’t do what I have asked of you, I will do what I have planned for her.” He spoke and moved at a safer distance for any of us to attack.I took a dip breath, and my veins became normal. I even felt my heart relax after hearing what he just said about Maria been okay.“I hope Odin has already told you who I’m. Hope he told you about the story of our parents and why I’m doing wha
After what Carl had just told me, I didn’t know what to do. I was stuck. Nothing comes to mind of what I can do to get out of the mess. Revoc got me this time.That bastard got me this time. He destroyed the only way of me getting back home. He knew I was going to be in foe. I was going to follow him here. This all thing was planned perfectly.And all that thing about sharing shares of the companies was all a game. He knew I would not accept it. So he burned my only way out to stop whatever he was planning with Pit.And that man will pay for what he is doing. I was about to give him a chance, just like Joseph and Maria were telling me. But he wasn’t giving me much of a choice here.He teamed up with my brother. The one that killed my parents is determined to hurt me. Do whatever it takes to get the company from me. To make me pay for what my parents did to him and his father.I don’t know why he was inflicting the pain on me. I had nothing to do with what my parents did to him and his
“I didn’t know how to tell you Carnage,” he spoke as he paced up and down in his room.After my talk with Thought, I was feeling a bit better. He always knew what I needed when I was feeling upset or lonely. When I had no idea of what to do, he always gives me something to think about.Because what he just told me was definitely leading me to somewhere. I just need to think about everything he just told me through. Ask the necessary questions and make sure I get the answers. And that is why I’m in Odin’s room.I looked around, and the all place was covered in papers. Drawings and piles of books were on the table to our left. And like every room, it was also dim.He tried making me look away, but I wasn’t going to do that now. I needed answers. And I will get them. Because I was just tired of being lied to. And those answers might be the only way out of this place before things go south back home.“Odin, I’m not a kid and you knew what was going to happen. And yet you said nothing to m
We all got ready, and I found everyone waiting in the living room as me and my wife walked dramatically down the stairs to them. My hand wrapped around her waist as she balanced with her high-heeled shoes, even when I told her it was unnecessary here.And we weren’t going to be there for fun, the purpose of me going there was to make the winter queen question why I was there. How I had the audacity to show up at her birthday party!I looked at Thought and smiled at him, thanking him for what he has done for me yet again. Giving me eyes to see what was right in front of me. If I was thinking this through, then they might be another gateway out of the land of foe that only the winter queen might know about.But like always, he didn’t have to make it that obvious; he didn’t tell me that the winter queen was hosting a party. All he did was give me some kind of hint as he walked to the tree. Signaling me that someone was watching us.And as I looked ahead, I saw the man that stood outside
“I know you all hurt me because of what my parents did to your place,” I looked around and realized the place still looked perfect. They might have fixed up whatever my parents caused. Whatever the dreadfour did, trying to get the Fatal back. “But I come in peace. I just want us to talk about it and maybe we can all leave in peace,” I spoke as I walked to them, leaving my team behind by a foot.But Maria refused to let me be. So she walked to me and still held my hand tightly. Then she spoke before I could tell her not to get involved.“We all have to be leaving in peace. We can’t keep on holding onto what happened in the past. This is my husband’s home. He was born here. But of course, because of what happened, things happened the way they did. But we Hope to deal with that tonight,” she spoke. Emphasizing the name Hope.I just sighed as I looked at the two women in front of us. They both kept their smiles on. But I knew what was going on in their heads was something that neither of
Me and the men watched from a distance as the women handled this one. Even though I was happy that Maria was proving me wrong about her been here when she was human, I was also scared that the winter queen and her sister the summer queen might just rip her in half. I was scared of what they might do to her and Void if things didn’t go well.We weren’t even hearing what they were saying now; they didn’t allow us to eavesdrop. Saying they needed to do this. Women to women. And us men, we are just to watch and wait for what was about to happen. Give them a chance to prove to us that they also mean business.I don’t know what Void has to prove here, because I always thought the woman was strong. I always thought she could stand anything because she was smart and clever like her siblings.But like always, I think her brothers always thought her to be weak. They never allowed her to do the hard jobs. They always tried to keep her safe and protect her, even when she didn’t need protection. A
After a while of silence, Carnage finally got back to me. Answering both my question and Hope’s. And I was relieved because I was starting to worry about why she was in me when I was supposed to get a man as my wild side, according to Hope.‘I think it’s because me and Edom are a couple. We were always supposed to be together, Justine. So that Edom and Maria can be together as well. Connecting us all,’ she spoke.‘But why didn’t Edom come to me? Why did he have to go to Maria?’ I asked out loud for Hope to also follow along.‘Because they named you Carnage. That was on your parents and not me. Also, because women are always strong. They knew I will protect you one day. And they knew Maria will keep my husband safe one day,’ she spoke.I just looked at Hope and told him everything she had just told me. And he was silent for a while like me. And none of us spoke for a few heartbeats as we thought about all that she said. Which made sense, judging by how things were going so far.I looke
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
