We were all quiet as most of the people waited for someone to shout what they were willing to pay to get the shares. And I was waiting for my competitor. Someone that would dare challenge me. I was waiting for father-in-law to get in the game because I know he was going to take the bet. Or maybe Pit’s father.“You can start as well,” Joseph spoke in my ear and I realized the woof might have had way too much to drink. I need to get this over with before things get out of hand. You never wanted to see Joseph when he was in his drunken state.But about what he said, I was never going to go first. I wanted them to think they got the shares, then I dive right in to ruin their joy. I looked around at the surrounding people. One tried to raise a hand, but his friend whispered something in his ear and he dropped his hand.Something was up with this people. Did father-in-law or Pit’s father told them to be silent and let them have the shares? It sounded like what they would do. Well, mostly Pi
Just as I was about to enter the car, someone called me from behind. I turned and found Pit approaching me.I wonder what he wanted from me now. I thought we finished everything the night he came to my place and caused a scene that was unnecessary. But it was understandable as well. I mean, he was been lied to by Maria that I was the one that was following her and telling her that I needed us to get back together.I looked around, and people were flashing their cameras at us. After what just happened inside, they would want to get pictures for whatever they will make of what just happened inside. But I was unconcerned because they might as well say whatever they wanted to.I just showed them I was rich as they have been hearing. So, I was going to have people on my tail almost every time. I don’t need that at the moment as well, because I have some crazy people I was dealing with.My life revolves not only around the human world, but in the magical world as well. Because my parents we
“You handled that better than I actually expected. I thought you were going to flip and throw the bastard out of the car. And after the little show he pulled last night. Dumping him in the night was my thought,” joseph spoke as I entered the car in my yard.I looked at where Nathen was supposed to be, but my gateman was not there for some reason. I hope the reason was better for me not to fire his ass. Because of his ignorance, Pit entered my house and nearly killed me if it wasn’t for my cat. And tonight he is not around as well.I know my parents hired the best people to keep my house safe. They made sure I have the best people around me when my life turns upside down. Because they knew this will happen. Even though they thought they had saved me from Revoc, they knew I was going to deal with the dreadfour.But I was beginning to doubt if Nathen was the perfect person to keep my house safe when I’m away. Even though Roland voted for him that I should allow him to stay, I was having
We sat in my bedroom as I waited for her to tell me why she called me here. She stopped me from entering the gateway to go and see her brothers that she needed me to do something. She wanted to tell me something important I needed to know before I enter foe world.Why was it that all the dreadfour had something to tell me when we meet? Hope talked to me about something that gave me hope. Thought gave me something I needed to think about. Only Death never spoke to me.Probably because he was still hurt by what my parents did to him. Which is understandable because they were only in this state because they betrayed them. I can imagine what he was feeling because that was how I felt about what Maria and Pit did to me.I looked at Void as she paced up and down. Watching me in the side. We both have no time for this. She knows her brothers are getting worried because it took me the all day to talk to them about Revoc’s location. She actually came to get me. Or was this whole thing planned
Looking closely at my hands, I had some markings that I didn’t even understand. I looked at Void for an explanation, but instead, she smiled at me. What the hell was she doing to me? What was her aim with all this?Then I made something out of one marking, it was a polar bear. But why would she give me a tattoo of a bear on my wrist? Again, looked at her but she was just smiling at me. Then I realized she hadn’t told me why she was testing me. What was the point of all this crap?“It’s a sing that you are in all with your thoughts. A polar bear signal that. And the rest of the marking only shows me your characters. Mostly,” she smiled at me. “I know it’s weird, but it was necessary to do this to you after I heard you are going to foe. Because the carnage will kill you there if you are not in all with your thoughts,” she spoke.I looked at her even more. “I don’t see the reason why you had to see me naked. You could have just told me you needed me to be in all with my emotions and feel
I sat in the room alone. Trying to think about what Void just told me. She decided that I needed time to think about things. To think about what I was going to do and the best way to deal with my emotions. To be able to separate my emotions from my actions. Because that will supposedly allow the carnage to kill me.When I asked her about the carnage, she just told me I will find out about it when I go to foe. That was also what Carl and Roland told me about the things they thought I was not ready to hear. That it will be better I find out for myself.But after she left, she allowed me to cry on her shoulders. To let it out as she said it. That Maria broke my heart beyond anything she had seen so far. And who am I to argue? She is the damn goddess of sex.She told me I was trying to act strong, and that everything was okay by chasing after what I shouldn’t be chasing at. Yes, Revoc followed me, but she told me I might as well want to follow him and punch him. Because at the moment I ne
“Carl?” I asked as I withheld my orb. “What the hell are you doing here?” walked to him and running my free hand over my face.“Because I came to see them,” he looked over my shoulder.“They meant that much to you, er?” he just nodded as he walked past me to look at the statues of my parents.I know they took him in. And I wasn’t trying to be too hard on my parents. But they allowed him to be locked by the dreadfour all because of the fatal. What value does it have that they risked the life of the only friend and I had?Was that important to them? But they lost it to Revoc. But if it was that important, why didn’t they do anything to get it back from him? Why did they allow Carl to still be locked with the dreadfour?Things just didn’t make sense to me at the moment. That was the reason I needed to be alone at the moment. To wrap my head around what was happening at the moment. I needed what made them do what they did. Because of all the questions that came with whatever they did to k
“I told you guys what you wanted me to do will cost me. Look what you have done to me. I shouldn’t have listened to you guys,” Maria spoke, with tears streaming down her cheeks.Her parents sat opposite her. Listening as she complained to them about what happened at the party.“If you didn’t make me want to sleep with Pit because you wanted his father to work with you, then I would still be with Justine. He was a good-for-nothing son-in-law. But look at what happened here. At least he loved me,” she cried all the more.They just looked at her sadly. If only they didn’t force their daughter to sleep with another man for money, then none of this would have happened. Maria would still be with Justine and she would have been living the life of an even rich woman.But all that was gone now. There was no going back to it.“I’m sorry, my daughter. You know, we were only trying to do what is good for the family. We thought you being with Pit will help us since his father’s company does well,”
