“Well, you are a very dumb guy, you think I can’t use that same, exact powers you just used to destroy Liam” Robert said with a cold smile and look. “I knew that, I took that into consideration and took steps ahead of time, which was poisoning you, au revoir Robert” he said with a dark chuckle. “What—“ Robert coughed out and he covered his mouth, he felt a liquid on his hand, he raised it up to his face and he saw the red liquid on his palm, “fu—fuck” he muttered and fell face flat to the ground. Lucian let out a loud laughter that was filled with so much joy as he made his way to the clan’s head castle and sat on the clan’s head seat while Wayde followed behind him closely and stood beside him as he sat on the chair. His heart danced with joy as his hands ran through the clan’s head chair. “Fuck! It’s all my goddamned fault” Robert sobbed silently with a deep pain in his heart, his body was slowly feeling numb all over, he was losing consciousness, in a matter of a few seconds,
EPILOGUE A few years have gone by since Robert had defeated Lucian, immediately after he had brought Hazel to rest a bit there and had stepped out, the rest of the clan members have all walked out of their hiding to thank Will for defeating Lucian who had always been a threat to them and had always made them live their lives in fear that he might attack again, but now that he is dead, there is a huge peace of mind finally for all of the clan members and they didn’t fail to show their gratitude to him at all. Robert stood in front of the ceiling to roof glass in his office, staring at the view with his hands buried deep into his pockets, his mind slowly drifts back to the past few years, that very incident, just after he had saved Hazel. "Where are we?" she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long while, since she woke up. "Oh! We are at that castle we once came to through one portal, you remember, right?" "Yes" she nodded her head."Anyways, how are you?"
It was mid night already, Robert stood beside the window, deep in thoughts. Even though he was sleepy, he wouldn't dare fall asleep when the rest of the family wasn't asleep yet. It was like a daily routine for him, he gets to sleep late and he ought to wake up early before anyone else, and if he fails to do that, it'll be a case of had I known. He sighs and he walked downstairs in order to check if anyone was still asleep. He got downstairs and he was surprised to see his brother in law watching a movie. Robert mentally groaned and he sat down on the couch. "What are you doing here?" Davies asked. "I, ummm.." Robert trailed off, not knowing what to say, he didn't want to say something that'll annoy his brother in law. "I just asked you a question, don't let me repeat myself," Davis said. Literally Robert was older then Davis, but circumstances made him the prey of both young and old. "Well, I just came to check if everyone is asleep, so I'll lock the doors," Robert said. "Y
Robert left Cassy to see to the task Mrs Alice gave to him. There were forty rooms in the mansion, and as he walked into each of them, he noticed how clean the room was, this was his punishment for something he didn't do, nor said. He let out a sigh as he switched on the vacuum cleaner, then he began cleaning the floor. "Need any help?" He heard a voice and he turned to face the person. "Hazel." He called, she was one of the maids. "It's fine, I'll manage on my own," He declined. "Well how can I let you do this alone, I still remember how you helped me the other day, I had too much work and you assisted me." "So let me help you too Sir." "Robert," He corrected. "Huh?" "Just call me Robert, there's no need to be formal, after all, I'm just a nobody." Robert replied with a sad smile. "You're not just a nobody, you're married to Ma'am Cassy." "And I'm sure you're also aware of the bad treatment I do receive, so let's just leave it at that, Cassy doesn't see me as her husband s
Hazel got to her room and she went to get her suitcase, then she began packing her stuff, she didn't regret what she did at all, in fact, she was proud of herself, she was glad she didn't keep quiet and spoke her mind. They needed someone to tell them the truth and that was what she did. She wondered how they were able to live with themselves with the way they treat people, this family treats middle class people like dirt, as if they were not humans too. "I just hope and pray that the day they'll meet their match will come, the day they'll come in contact with someone who will treat them the same way they treat commoners, I pray that day should come." "I just hope Robert won't blame himself for this." She put down her suitcase, took one last look at the room before leaving. *** "This is all my fault, Hazel should not have gotten involved in this, It's my fault she lost her job." "How will I be able to forgive myself for this, I'm so sorry Hazel, I'm so sorry, I hope I'll be abl
"Robert, Robert!" Cassy yelled as she walked into his room. Robert was resting on his bed and when he heard Cassy yelling his name, he instantly stood up."What do you want, Cassy?" Robert asked. "Don't you have anything to do?" She asked. Robert sighed "I'm done with my work Cassy, I was only resting.""Dad will soon be back, go make us something to eat." Robert didn't move an inch, his whole body was sore, they have maids to do the cooking, but she still wants to trouble him. All he wanted was to rest, he had a splitting headache too."What are you still doing? Go!!" She barked. "Okay, Cassy" Robert replied, then he left."Stupid man." Cassy spat before leaving too.**Robert sat at the dining table together with Cassy and Mr. Derrick. Cassy's dad.The rest of the family already retired to their room, leaving just the three of them. They ate silently, only the sound of their cutleries could be heard.Mr. Derrick drank some water, then he spoke. "I do hope Robert isn't being a pain i
"Robert! Robert!" The door burst open as Cassy stomped into the room.Before Robert could get up from the bed, Cassy had turned the bucket of cold water on him. "Cassy!" He yelled in shock. Cassy didn't feel remorseful as she wanted to add a slap to that as well but restrained herself."How dare you still sleep at this time when I told you that I would be going to the mall?!" She yelled in anger.Robert looked to the side to check the time on his table clock. "It's just 7 am. Do you want to leave this early?" He asked but that earned him a resounding slap on his cheek."You dare ask me a stupid question?! Idiot. I have given you a quick nice bath. I give you five minutes to change your clothes and come out." She spat at him before making her way out of the room banging the door in the process.Robert held his cheeks for few minutes before he sighed before coming down from the bed. He had to dry the bed again for the third time in one weekHe felt sorry for himself. His single life was far
He looked at the old man in the passenger seat and the driver in a coma and was at loss for what to do.Seeing no one had arrived the scene, he turned and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered the words from Hazel before she left; "You have to be strong because the world is wicked."He asked himself, "Do I really want to be among the wicked ones because of my circumstance?"As he was contemplating, he heard the old man wince in pain and his eyes were drawn to the dragon shaped pendant on his neck. Subconsciously, something stirred him into actions and his body reflexes worked at an unknown speed.Before he knew it, he had gotten both the old man and the driver out of the vehicle even loosing the seatbelt that held them strapped to the burning car.Another vehicle stopped by to see what was happening only to hear someone identify the old man as boss.He was shocked as he wondered what level the old man had to be at to be so highly respected by the men from the vehicle. Clearly he c
