I looked from one to the other, but their facial expression gave me nothing that will help me figure what the hell was going on here. What the hell might have happened for Roland to be scared of Dream and why she said it was a learning experience for her?They were also silent, like they knew it was killing me inside to find out what happened between them. But a part of me did not want to know anything about them. Because I had enough on my plate and I needed to attend to them as soon as possible. Mostly the grandmother situation. That old woman played her cards very nicely, and I was stupid to think otherwise. I was not going to allow her to win this game of ours.“Dream, you said you were going to help me with the grandmother's situation. And I expect you to do just that. Whatever the hell happened between you two, keep it to yourselves. Does it involve me?” I asked, keeping my options open if I was somewhat involved.She smiled but made me realize I was not to boss her around. She
We all sat in the living room for a while. Me trying my level best to reason with her and to make her understand Revoc was only trying to use her, and that was that. He will leave her when he gets what he wants. Which is to hurt me and nothing more.Mother-in-law and father-in-law also tried to help me with convincing her about what I was saying by the old woman was hell bent ongoing with Revoc.At some point, I thought the woman was under a spell or something. That Revoc used foe magic on her. But I sensed nothing about the magic in her. I guess all he had to do was tell her he loves her and he will spend the rest of his life with her.Desperation does indeed kill.“Listen grandmother, I know you and I don’t see eye to eye. But I’m telling you, my cousin is only using you. He hurts me enough to do about anything. Even if sleeping with you. For luck of better terms,” I added after seeing her expression, but went on. “I didn’t mean to do what I did to your company. I didn’t want to do
I looked at Frazer, and his face was filled with nothing but rage. Looking at me mercilessly. Earlier he was smiling and now this. I knew the smile was psychopathic, but this level he was at now was not okay.And to top it off, Carl and Joseph were still inside.“I thought I was clear about the time we were supposed to meet. And the place,” he spoke, walking towards us.I walked in front and moved both Carl and Joseph to the back.“I’m sorry about that. I was caught up somewhere. My in-laws can be a bit of a handful at times,” I smiled, then carried on. “We can proceed to the meeting place, shall we?” I gestured upstairs since it was the only way to the reverie.But he stood still. Still looking at me with dark eyes. Knowing how things have been with me and Revoc, I knew he wasn’t going to allow things to go easy.First, I was late for our meeting and now I allowed my family members to be present.Dammit.“Why are they here? I thought it was just going to be the two of us. You wanted
We sat at the round table for almost thirty minutes as we finally got on board. I tried to make sure this all thing goes my way. Because he was not here to play and he made sure I understood that. And if I allow him to take this as his plan, then not only will Revoc be the one getting hurt, but me and my family at large in the process.But even though my plan was to make him understand what was going on, he was still adamant about him taking the lead. And he constantly kept on reminding me that I was still was his enemy and there was nothing that will change that.I didn’t even want to press on that. Because truth be told, even though I wanted to patch things up with him, part of me still didn’t want him in my life. Having to share the little I have. Even though I didn’t want to allow that part of me to get over my feelings.Because he was still my brother and nothing will change that. And if he is on my side, then maybe I will spend less time on fighting. Maybe he might even help me
After some time, we finally finished talking. I told Frazer to help me with Revoc as soon as possible. But also tried to make it more clear that he will walk away with not everything he desired.I mean, me telling him he was going to get everything he wanted was me lying to him. Because deep down I knew I never wanted to give up what I have now. I’m not willing to share them with anyone.But for peace’s sake, I agreed to some of his demands for him to help me get Revoc out of my hair.“As I said before, I really wish we could have met in a different scenario than this. Us trying to fight things off because of money. I wish father didn’t leave you and that we got to know each other better. But such is life,” I spoke as I walked him to the door.“I don’t think it would have been possible either ways. I mean, we would have been trying to impress father and see who does it better so that he get more shares than the other. So, in one way or the other, life would have brought us here. And w
After realizing I might have a chance of getting out of the trap, I decided to just look at them. Listening to them saying whatever they felt like saying to me. To threaten me about killing my family members and the like.But even though I saw a glimpse of hope, I was still hearing nothing from my half brother. Maybe that bastard wanted this as well. I mean, I will be out of his way and he will get all the things he so ever wished for.I don’t know the man that much, but when he was around me, I could feel his magic radiating as powerful as they could. Ready to strike the enemy.“I know you can get what we are saying. Do you want me to prove to you I’m serious about them? That I will kill them if you don’t do what I asked you to?” Revoc asked as he looked at Carl. Then an orb appeared in his right hand.I called to Frazer again. Using up all the energy I had to make him hear me. But to no avail. Then I tried calling Hope and Thought. Since I had therapy sessions with them, they might
For the past month, I have been trying to recover from what happened. Apparently, me loosing my powers made me sick and weak on some level. So much so that I wasn’t even able to go to work or do anything about my in-laws.And for the whole month, Frazer and Joseph have been attending to the needs of the company. Telling me to just keep recovering while they handle everything.But I have to admit for the first few days of Frazer going to the company, I was terrified. Calling Joseph now and then to ask if the man was behaving accordingly. But he proved me wrong the all month.Nothing alarming or anything from him. He has been such an amazing brother, which was scaring the crap out of me. I mean, he came to get what he wanted. Came with nothing but rage burning in his eyes. Wanted nothing but to take vengeance for something I didn’t even know about.But after the night he saved me and my family, he has been here. Actually staying with me and my family. Threatening all together.I wanted
I looked from Carl to the woman. And all I could sense was nothing but tension from her. Carl, on the other hand, was angered beyond anything I could have imagined him to be at a time like this.I was trying to understand what was going on myself. But I never wanted to intrude or anything. This was between the two of them and not me. Yes, I had my own part to play in this, but I was never going to get in between the two of them.I looked at Roland, who was rubbing a hand behind Carl’s back. Whispering in his ears what could have only been words of encouragement. I hope. Because Roland can be a bit of a pain in the neck. Though supportive most of the time.Maria thought it best to stay out of it. And she wanted to talk to Hope and Thought. So, after meeting the mother or Carl, she left.And I think she did make a good choice. Because this will not help her in any way. For this will only remind her of what happened time and time again. She needs to talk to the two and maybe she will com
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
