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
“What do you mean, you think she will win the case? I didn’t come here from my session with Hope so that you can lose. I know she played her cards perfectly well. And she is still doing that. But that doesn’t give you a chance to give up. You have never been a quitter and you won’t start now,” she spoke as she took my hand. “I know you are going through a rough patch right now. And all this is just way too overwhelming. But we need this. It's not only about us beating her. It’s about you getting your company back.” She spoke. Her ember cat eyes look straight into mine.I just sighed and smiled. Maybe I was feeling a little overwhelmed about what has happened in the past few days. Me losing my powers and losing the company. And maybe losing Suzen did as well affect me just as it did Maria and Joseph. Because she was carrying my nephew or niece after all. Maybe losing Nathan as well was just as detrimental to me.I have been trying to stay strong for all of them. To keep showing them I’
