I rolled to the side on instinct, and luckily, the fireball missed me. It slammed the floor with a thump and dust washed over me. Then with a wave of my hand, I swept the man from his feet and he fall flat on his ass.I scrambled to my feet at the same time as he did. He looked to be my age, maybe just two or three years order than me. His hair was short, just like mine, and he combed it perfectly. And he was clean shaven.Looking further, I realized he was the man I presumed to be Revoc from the two men. So he was just tricking me to make me think they had gone. But where was his friend? I looked at my surroundings, but he was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn’t sense his wizard's flavor.We circled each other for a while, and the all time he had the smirk on his face that sent a chill down my spine.He wore all black, the only thing deferent was his wristwatch.“What do you want in my parents’ house? And why does it look old?” I asked, with no hope of him answering those questions.H
I was trying my level best to wrap my head around what was happening to me. I mean, how possible was it that I would get kidnapped while asleep? That was as crazy as it sounded.I looked at Carl, and he was just playing with his paws. Drawing something on the rocky ground. What the hell have I stepped into? Ever since I got my family's wealth, my life has been nothing but hectic. Full of danger and secrets.Tried to get out multiple times. But it was like the person who called me here didn’t want me gone for some reason. Carl mentioned something about me been trapped here forever. Unless the person who locked him here allows me to leave.But I have been waiting for that person for a while and nothing at all. I have gotten nothing from my caller. I tried shouting for the bastard to show up, but he decided to hide. He chose to be a coward rather than face me like a man.“You know, freeing me will really set him off. He likes me been here and doesn’t want me to leave this place because h
This apparently happened to be an amazing trip I have ever taken ever since I got my family wealth. Thought was just as nice as his brother Hope. Maybe Death was also sweet. He was just a tough nut to crack.Which brought a question into my head of why my parents took the Fatal from them in the first place. They seemed harmless. All of them. While I haven’t yet met their sister Void. Who Thought kept saying I will like her and she will like me.Not in a relationship thing, but as someone I can talk to in terms of marriage and the like. That she was good with those topics and that was her job. At least it was in her descriptions. When I told him I didn’t need the talk, he told me I was broken inside and that will in turn, be my downfall. Just like Roland told me.Was that really obvious? Was I that broken because she cheated on me with my friend? I loved her and that was something I can’t lie about. But I was never going to stand for what she did to me. I had to keep my dignity in chec
“You are pacing up and down because it’s Christmas eve?” Carl asked as he got up as well.It was not only that it was Christmas eve; it was the night I’m supposed to be at the company for the selling of the shares of one guy. I needed to get those shares, because if I give the leverage to one of them, they might just try to dethrone me.There were more people that wanted my wealth than just Revoc. A lot wanted my wealth. Heck, that was the only reason Maria and her parents wanted me back into their family. So, I need to be at home as in right now.“I need to leave, Thought. We will continue our conversation later. I will figure out Revoc’s location and then you four will take it from there,” I spoke.“Alright. Just be careful. And say sorry to Roland because I took you for longer period than I asked for,” he spoke apologetically.“Wait, so I’m not sleeping right now?” this was crazier than I actually thought. And Roland was in it as well. What more secrets were they keeping from me? W
“Well, I can’t say your parents made me do it this time. It was also my choice to keep the truth from you because we all thought it bes. We all thought it was the best decision for you. We all thought we were protecting you from all this. But clearly, we weren’t,” he spoke and then looked at Carl. “And Carl, I’m sorry it took this much time for us to come and get you. You must have gone through hell,” his eyes were all watery.Silence stretched for a few seconds. But if the dreadfour took Carl when he was a kid, why did he wear an armour? What happened to him to wear that?“It’s fine Roland. You all did it to protect my master, and that was why I accepted to be in that prison. And Thought was nice to me. So were his siblings. Well, Death was a problem, but he is also good deep down. Just don’t piss him off,” he looked at me.“What did you all hide from me apart from Carl? Why did my parents steal the Fatal from the dreadfour? If they were friends, couldn’t they have just asked them fo
He walked to us majestically. Sparkles of lightning coming out of his eyes. I know Pit was a wizard like me and he knew a lot, just like I did. But something about his powers seemed different. His eyes never glow this bright. Ever.Something was up.“Pit, let’s just talk like civilized people. I don’t know what the hell you are pissed about. But I know we can talk about it. Just come down,” I spoke, raising my hands in surrender and Joseph did the same.Carl moved in front of me as Pit raised his fireball at me. “You now have cats as bodyguards. What money can do? Anyway, didn’t come here to worst both my time and yours. I just wanted to tell you that you should stay away from my Maria,” he spoke with a smirk on his face.“What—”“Joseph, I got this,” I told him and went around Carl to face him. I was upset about what he and Maria did to me. And I was yet to make them pay for that. But I just needed to get this crap I was dealing with over with before getting back to them.I wasn’t an
We all just sat in the living room trying to overcome what just Pit caused. But there was not much of the dust now, only the remains were there. Roland has cleaned most of it. One reason I think he was good for the job.My parents chose him for this purpose.A while after Pit left, Nathen came running inside shouting like a crazy person that there was an intruder in the house. Then he stopped and just looked at me apologetically.I don’t even remember what I said to the man because I was so angry at the moment – trying to rethink about what Pit said before he left. The only thing I remember telling Nathen was to leave my house and stay watchful the next time.Carl sat at the dining table as he enjoyed his food. But he looked sad and disappointed. At himself that there was nothing he could do or say that will make me smile. He tried cracking jokes, but nothing worked. Was I that hurt with what happened between me and Maria that I was unable to stop thinking about what Pit called me?Wa
“Carl, you are not following, and that is my final decision. This place there will be humans around. You are my cat. Literally. They will freak out. Maybe next time you can follow,” I spoke as I fastened my suit in the mirror.Ever since last night when Joseph showed me that party, Carl has been trying to convince me to let him follow me and Joseph to the party. I have told him no each time, but it was like he wasn’t giving up on that.But my answer was still going to be no, because of only one reason. Humans are not ready to see my talking huge cat. They might think there was some Vudu going on. They might even arrest me because I wouldn’t tell them the truth about Carl.I saw that my beard as even grown for the past days. But I liked it that way and I might even keep it the way it was. Also, because I just didn’t have that much time anymore. Every minute counts at this point in time.“You know, you might need me there. That Pit guy will be there and after the shity show he just pull
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
