This is by far my favorite chapter yet. Hope you will find it as fun and intriguing as i when writing it.
We sat on the balcony as she tried to convince me to take her back. That she didn’t know what she was doing. That it was a moment of weakness or something she put it look like. She was actually kneeling down as she begged for me to take her back.That was satisfactory to me. I wanted them to beg for what they did to me. Humiliating me and forsaking me. But part of me didn’t want that. They wronged me and no matter what I do, that won’t change.I lifted her from the floor and helped her back on the chair, “I don’t hurt you or any of your family,” I took the wine bottle, which I called using my wizard powers, and pulled enough into her glass. “You all did what you thought will be beneficial for you in the future and believe me you, I’m not against that,” I took a swig from my wine and went on. “Does Pit know you are here?” I asked, looking into her eyes.She looked down, “no. and I don’t care if he knows or not. Can we not talk about him? Please?” she looked at me again.She was a woman
The day went by quickly. I have spent it at home the all day. Because Roland told me they will take care of things at work because they now know I exist and that I needed to stay indoors after what happened last night.The man they hired to look after the gate was well equipped with protective shields and the like. That was one of the reasons they gave him the job. What didn’t my parents do to assure my protection? Maybe they even stole what they stole from Death and Hope because they wanted to keep me safe. You can never know with parents.Then what Roland told me after Maria and her parents left hit me again. I was keeping anger inside. Allowing it to bubble up inside and grow. I needed to let go or that will cost me my life. Big time.I assessed my surroundings. The only thing I was able to hear were bird songs and the trees entangle with each other as the breeze blow.I needed to be alert before these two show up. They meant business, and they were going to kill me if I don’t give
I sat at the log for some time since they left me. Thinking about what I discussed with them. Well, there was not much, but it was enough to let me know how important what they needed was to them. The Fatal. It kept them alive, according to what Roland told me.But a question that was bothering me was why Revoc took it from my parents if he was just going to kill them himself? It made no sense, and that was why I was in the forest meditating. I needed sometime alone with my thoughts. I needed to think about what I was going to do to survive this all crap.All I know for now is that I need to find the location of Revoc, and leave the rest to the dreadfour. But how I was going to find the location of the sociopath I did not know. All I was hoping for was that Roland knew something about it.He seemed to know pretty much a lot about my family. Which made me question how old he was for him to know all he knew about my family. He must have been the family butler for years and years.So, I
I stood at the corner for almost an hour. And the two men kept on talking in cords. I was still unable to get what they were saying or who they were talking about. I wasn’t even able to make out any of them. Who they were or what they were.Though some of what they said connected to me and my family. I mean, they were standing in my parents’ house, which has turned old all the sudden. How that was possible, I still don’t know. I have been trying to figure that out ever since I got here, but nothing came to mind.Kept on pinching myself but this was happening. It wasn’t a dream. I needed to be here and wetness what was happening. That gateway was meant to bring me here. But why? I do not know who the men are or what they are talking about. All I know it is connected to my family and me somehow.Could one of them be Revoc? But who was the man that was stopping him from attacking me? That he should allow me to play and think I was winning, then he was going to strike. But if they needed
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
