I waited for him to tell me what I wanted to hear from him. But he was still been adamant about it all. And Roland refused to be a part of it. He was not saying anything that Carl wasn’t allowing him to tell me. Which made me curious even more. I wanted to help the cat. But in a way to understand why my parents allowed a cat in my life. Why him of everything in the world?And I was scared of what I might find as well. Because what I was thinking might be the reason for what they did is something that might break me and Carl up. Something that might change the way I look at my parents.When it came to my protection, they had poor judgment. They will do about anything as long as it meant I was gonna be safe. They would kill even if it was what it takes for me to stay safe after they are gone. That is my parents for you.I sighed as I looked at him, then Roland. Coming to terms, they will not tell me a word. But there was someone that will do about anything to tell me what I needed to kn
The day happened to be the craziest, apparently. Filled with nothing but drama from everyone around me. But the most important thing right now I wanted to find out what happened to Carl’s parents. Why he thinks they left him behind? That they didn’t love him in any way.Yes, that might be true. They might be shitty parents and we can’t do anything about that. And me finding them and allowing Carl to listen to them telling him that would be a problem on its own. And he might hate me for bringing back what he has long forgotten.But again there is a thing of everything been different from he thinks. Things might not always be what they look like. They might be a different story behind it all. And that story is making me worry at some point. I mean, what if I find out my parents did something insane to get Carl? All because they wanted to keep me safe in the future.So, in all scenarios, they were something threatening coming along with it. But I can’t just stay because I’m scared of wha
“Please take it easy on her. I know what she did was wrong and what she was trying to do is equally wrong. But let’s not forget, she is my grandmother. And I know what she did to Suzen was just proving your point, but take it easy on her,” Maria spoke as she helped me with my tie.I didn’t even know what to tell her, because what I was planning in my head weren’t good things. They all contained things that will hurt me or anyone involved one way or the other, and that was just how things will turn out. I can’t change it.And I know what she has planned for me isn’t good. I can feel something isn’t right. All my secretaries at the wine company told me she was there, and she was causing a scene. That she wanted to speak to me and I should go there. As soon as possible.She even had the audacity to sit in my office. Claiming it to be hers. I don’t know what she wanted from me. But I was surely going to put her in her place. To make sure she goes down this time for good.“You came home no
“What the hell do you think you are doing coming here to my company and causing a scene? Even calling a board meeting. I know you are the grandmother to my wife, but I will forget that. You are sitting in my chair,” I said as I reached her.She looked up at me, then at the surrounding people. Smiling. Then she took a paper from the table and handed it to me. I looked at the paper, then at everyone — they all seemed to have the same one. But none of them was willing to tell me what was going onI looked at the paper and my eyes widened at what was written on it. I shook my head and blinked a couple of times. But it was still there. Smiling back at me.I looked at Mubanga as she walked to me. Then I handed her the papers because I didn’t even know how to better explain what was happening. What was written on it.I looked at everyone, and they all wore sad faces. Looking at me with all the sadness. But she was smiling, and she almost burst out laughing at my paranoid.This has to be a jo
As always, it is an honor meeting someone my parents told to look after me. Someone they might have helped, in a way that the person will do anything they tell him or her to do. That were my parents. And I love them for that.She told me about her. And she was true to her name, as always. She helped with things dream related. But she was on vacation or something like that. Somehow, she knew I will need her. And here she was.Then she told me about how helpful my parents were to her. How they helped her fight someone that wanted her job. Her twin sister Nightmare. And ever since that time, she hasn’t bothered her at all. She has been leaving peacefully, and she owes that to my parents.And something about her caught my attention. The way she was addressing Roland. Like she hurts the man or something. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case even.“You need to go home, Justine. We are closing,” Pain said.After I left the company, I decided to come to them and not go home. I need
I thought about why she had done what she had done to the room. But nothing came to mind about any special occasion. I looked at her for an answer, but she was just looking at me as well. Straight faced.“Aren’t you gone tell me what is going on? Look, I’m sorry I went to Pain and Regret without you. And that I didn’t tell you where I was and I was not picking up my calls. But this looks special. What is the occasion?” I smiled and followed her as she matched to the bed.She was indefinitely mad about everything. I needed to make up for everything. As soon as possible. I mean, I have to tell her about what happened at the company. She will be upset if she finds out from someone else that her grandmother did what she did to me.“Come on Maria. I’m sorry. Tell you what. I will take you there tomorrow if I’m not busy. Will you now speak to me? Please?” I begged.She looked at me. Questionable, “I wanted to do something special for you. Since you have been so busy lately and you have been
As I was walking to the door, I sensed a rather unpleasant scent. But I ignored it for some reason and just walked. But keeping my wizard powers closer just in case this was some crazy crap that might kill me or my family. Revoc was still on the loose.I swan open the door and then found a mail man smiling at me. Was this what they were taught when getting the job? One of the requirements? I mean, every time I’m outside and the mail man finds me, I always see them smiling. Wider that too. But what do I know?“Morning sir,” he said, as he went through his bag. “Sorry for bothering you at this time,” he added.“It’s fine. I was awake even. What do you have for us this morning?” I asked him after seeing he was still looking for whatever he had for me. “And I don’t remember ordering anything. Maybe one of the people inside.”“Some kind of box. I can’t see it. Just give me a few seconds,” he smiled at me, then returned to his searching.“Not to rush you, but your bag is way too small for s
I paced up and down as I looked at Roland, who was sitting on the couch with Carl. Well, I didn’t think him to be involved in this. Not this time. Carl knew a lot about my family than I did myself.But for him to know about me having a half brother was something I don’t think of him to know. Or maybe they told him because they wanted him to keep me safe like the rest.Though only Roland might know the whole thing. I looked at them both, but they said nothing to me. I have been asking Roland about him, knowing my brother existing, but he has been saying he knows nothing about him.What are the odds that my parents said nothing to him about this? Did he even tell mother about him having a son somewhere else? Did he even know this child existed?Frazer’s mother might have said nothing to father and yet told the man that his father left him. Make him hurt father and in turn he hurt me as well because in his eyes I took the old man from him.Maria and the rest just sat quietly. Watching me
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
