RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension chapter 22
The following days that unravelled were like boxes of torment that had been stacked up so high, they had started falling over one another. Victoria had run out of tissues and she had used more than the tears that had been running out from her eyes for days now. She sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ornate patterns on the wall. Jack’s house was nothing short of a mansion, with its marble floors, towering ceilings, and endless hallways, but it felt empty. Cold. It wasn’t her home, and no matter how much Jack tried to make her comfortable, she couldn’t bring herself to feel at ease. Jack had been patient at first, understanding even, but as days turned into weeks, the tension between them grew. She had refused to touch him, she refused to let him into her heart or her thoughts. The man she was married to now was a stranger—a choice forced upon her by her family. And each day she spent in this house, surrounded by its suffocating air, felt like a betrayal to herself.

Paige watched as Victoria walked away from the place with a smile on her face. The moment he was sure that she was not aware he had come in a car, he kicked the engine to life and began following her. He couldn't help the smile that formed across his face, nor the loud thumping in his chest. He had been mesmerised by her beauty and couldn't help but fall in love with her at first sight. Yes! At first sight—The day she had bumped into him at the lawyer's office, he had been captured by her beauty immediately. He couldn't describe the way he felt, but he knew that he had to see her again and he couldn't deny that he had fate on his side, because she was the last person he thought he was going to see while he was at his favourite activity. Paige cursed inwardly when he saw that he was approaching a stop. "I don't have all day for this!" He said angrily to himself. He badly wanted to alight from his car and make the rest of his journey on foot but he couple afford to be seen by Vict

"I need to figure out a way to get Victoria away from that man, he does not deserve her at all. I doubt if he even knows what she is worth!" Paige spat out, driving himself back to his clan. He had seen enough of today and already made his mind that Victoria was the one for him. He would be doing himself a huge favour if he got married now before he's crowned the clan leader of the kin clan Though no one had confronted him about settling down, not even the elders of the clan but he was not retarted to know that the clan would expect him to ascend the place of power with his queen by his side and Victoria was the woman for him. Paige got to the path that led to his close friend's house, the one who would become his right hand man once he is crowned the clan leader. He needed to see him briefly before he headed back to the heart of the empire which was where he resided as the future clan leader. Paige's picked up his phone and tried calling his friend but there was no response from

As soon as Thomas laid his hands on vital information concerning Victoria, he set out to work immediately, and before twenty four hours was over, he had reported back at the imperial building. Paige finally showed up after Thomas had been made to wait to for him for almost an hour. "I'm sorry I took so long, Tom, I was only trying to put some of my things away." Paige let out, but it didn't seem like he was remorseful about keeping Thomas waiting for that long and Thomas knew better than to believe that Paige was actually putting anything away when he had been notified of his presence almost an hour ago but chose to stay back in. Thomas cleared his throat and waited until Paige was seated before he started speaking. "I found something." d omas started. Paige gave him a nod to go ahead with what he was about to say."His future grace, I'd suggest that you find someone else to get married to." Thomas said with fear in his voice. The fear in him was so paramount that Paige could fee
RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension chapter 26
Thomas was scared to his death as he walked out of the imperial building. How in the world had Paige thought that He would lie to him that The Saint Dragon was still alive and he had once been married to the woman that Paige wanted. Not only was the thought of it concerning, but the fact that Saint Dragon was alive was terrifying and the worst of it all was that Paige had not believed a word. "I'm definitely done for." Thomas said to himself, walking back to his car with his shoulders drooping. As soon as Thomas opened the door to his car. A thought struck him. "Oh, I should have thought of that!" Thomas said in an elated tone, hopping into his car with a relief. He would fulfill Paige's wishes by getting Victoria to him but before anything goes wrong, he would flee from the clan before he jeopardises his life. "Exactly...." Thomas thought to himself aloud, "that's exactly what I'm going to do" he concluded and started the car, before driving away. ****Back in his home, Thomas

Before Jack had the time to process what was happening, he had found himself on the ground, wriggling in pain. He watched on as the men made their way into his house. "Hey, where in the world do you think you're going to....""Get back here!" Jack yelled at them but they kept on walking. Jack ignored the pain and managed to stand to his feet. "I said get back here!" He yelled out again. He held a look of shock on his face as the men walked inside the main building of his house. He didn't go after them immediately. He had not fully processed what was going on yet; who these men were and what they wanted. Obviously, the supposed leader of the men had stated that they had come for Victoria—but why? Jack shoved his hands into his pockets, searching for his phone—it hit him that his phone was still inside the house. He had to go in to get it so he could call for help. But how was he going to walk past those men without getting mulled by one of them. Suddenly, he heard Victoria let ou

"Let me go!" Victoria shrieked, kicking and thrashing as the men forced her into the back of a black SUV. "Shut her up!" one of them barked. ****** "Can you keep your voice down, it's very hard to drive with your screams ringing in my ears!" Thomas shouted in frustration while he clutched the steering wheels tightly. "Why don't you take me back to where you took me from and maybe I'd stop screaming my lungs out!" Victoria retorted. "We'd have you tie her down, maybe, it's quite difficult to hold her down like this!" One of the men at the backseat holding Victoria down suggested. Thomas ignored what the man said and Instead looked out the window as he continued driving. "If you'll just keep your mouth shut, you'll realise that I'm doing you a great favour by taking you away from that man!" Thomas finally said. "Let go off me....don't touch me with your filthy hands!" Victoria continued to yell out. "...and as for you, what makes you think that I was uncomfortable where

"I... promise you.... I promise, if you won't let me live, you will never ever hear from me again" Thomas said in a trembling voice as he continued to plead for his life. Saint's piecing eyes continued to bore into his soul, then he looked up at Victoria's dishevelled form walking toward him. His pupils dilated instantly. "Are you okay, dear?" He asked her, "Did they hurt you?" Saint's asked again, running his eyes all over her to make sure that she was alright. "They hurt me a bit but I'm okay now." She confessed, while rubbing the back of her left arm nervously. Saint tightened his grip on Thomas so much, he had started to wince like a little child in pain. "I beg of you, I'll do anything that you ask me to, just spare my life, I'm begging you!" Thomas continued to plead, his whole body was drenched in his own sweat and bits were already dripping down his face despite the cold air. Saint loosened his grip on him, causing Thomas to fall back. "Don't move a muscle!" Saint warne

At the far end of the room, Vic stood with an amused smirk, her arms crossed. Her presence exuded power—dark and overwhelming. She tilted her head slightly as she observed Saint, her eyes gleaming with malice.“You finally came,” she said smoothly, stepping forward. “I was beginning to think you had abandoned them.”Saint ignored her taunt, his gaze locked onto Victoria. Her chest rose and fell faintly—she was alive, but barely. His fists clenched at his sides.“Let them go, Vic.” His voice was calm but laced with deadly intent. “This ends now.”Vic chuckled. “Oh, Saint. You always think you can swoop in like a hero and fix everything. But you don’t understand… I’ve already won.”"Drop the dagger, Vic...." Saint ordered again, ignoring what she had said, "don't make this any harder than it is." He added. "But it already is. Someone should offer him a chair already, the show is just about to start." She said and erupted into another round of laughter. Saint was about to launch himself

Saint cut through the thick branches with the sword Sayid had handed over to him. He was relieved that he was able to convince him to head back to the clan with the others. He had seen the disappointment in his face when he told him that he couldn't afford to take him any farther than they had already come, and it was far too dangerous for Sayid to continue the journey with him. It was getting darker by every passing minute and Saint knew that he had to get on with his journey quickly. For some reason unknown to the others, Saint could sense that Vic was close by and these creatures that he had just battled with had been a decoy to distract them from the actual mission they had embarked on. He continued cutting down more branches as he walked. The sensation around him grew, signalling to him that he was already closer to Vic than he thought. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and intensified the effort he used in cutting down more of the trees, clearing his path. The c

"I'm not moving an inch from here until I see Saint!" Gerald said stubbornly, adjusting his legs more comfortable on the ground but making sure that his legs didn't touch the creature. His eyes were still fixated on the creature. He had still not given up in trying to make out what it was and where they had come from. "Well then, suit yourself." Sayid said and started walking away. The stench that came from him was foul and immediately made the air unbearable to breathe. "Where are you going to, Sayid? We can't just leave Saint here all by himself!" Gerald said, his voice trembling with fear. "He's fine, you chicken heart, he just wants to set some things out for himself." Sayid said. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face both men. He had noticed that something wasn't right. "Where are all the soldiers?!" He asked. "Most of them are dead, I think the rest ran away!" Steward replied. "Including my men?!" Sayid asked angrily. "Every single one of them...""How pat

He tried to get a glimpse of his life flashing before him as his eyes were shut tight. He swallowed the bile in his throat for the umpteenth time and breathing heavily—the smell of death hissing past his nostrils. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that his time had finally come, he could feel the power from the creature growing stronger by every passing minute and the hot drool from its mouth descending on him. "Spare my life, I beg of you!" Gerald clasped his palms in a form of a plea and raised it above his head. He hoped in his heart that the creature understood what he was saying. "Spare my life and I'd do anything that you want me to!" He said again and his hands fell weakly onto the floor, grabbing the soil in front of him. His whole body shivered from the cold that was seeping through his veins, never had he been faced with such situation. "I never should have left the car," he repeated. A loud shriek from the creature shook the leaves on the trees causing Gerald to c

Max wiped the perspiration off his forehead with his sleeve and dusted his hands. He was satisfied with how deep the hole was even though a pretty large part of it had not been his effort. "Come on, we need to bury him quickly before someone comes." Max said aloud. They had carried Max's lifeless body to an area where nobody would find it, not even Vic herself, except by some means of magic, but even if she would have, they would have all been long gone. "Certainly." The second guard replied and started breaking the rocks nearby that they were going to use in burying Drake. The plan was to level the spot they would bury Drake as much as possible and fill the place up with rocks. If anyone has plans of digging the place up, they would get a second thought—who buried people with rocks in than age. "It's all done." The second hairs let out, panting heavily. Max made sure to take a good look at Drake oneast time to make sure that he was actually dead. 'what if he wasn't?!' his thoug

It was at that point that Saint realised where they were. Why hadn't he sensed that something was wrong on time, it seemed as though a cloak had been removed from his eyes. "No one should step down from the car!" Saint ordered when the car had been brought to a halt. "Oh you don't need to tell me that twice. I already know what's going on....if you had just listened to me earlier..." Gerald grumbled and folded his hands. Despite the eerie environment that they were in, he felt no single iota of fear and instead disappointment toward Saint for not believing him earlier on. "I'm going to go check it out." Saint said and without giving them any chance to process their thoughts, he was already out of the car. Gerald's lips parted slightly in bewilderment. He wanted to say something but then hesitated and kept silent. "Aren't you coming, Gerald, I'm going with him." Sayid said, cutting through Gerald's line of thoughts. "Are you out of your damn mind?!" Gerald exclaimed. Sayid chuck

Not a single sound was heard from the warriors as they journeyed on, with Saint leading them on. Lord Magnus had offered to accompany them on the journey, but Saint had insisted that he stayed back so he wouldn't risk getting killed. Lord Magnus had tried to convince Saint that his conscience wouldn't let him stay back and he had to be by Saint's side, but Saint still insisted that he had to stay back with the clan. "Are you sure of where we heading to, Saint?" Gerald asked with confused brows as he noticed that they had been turning around in circles and it seemed like the fifth time they had passed through this particular route. Saint who had been struggling to keep back his confusion finally let out, "this has to be the route, it has to be here. Unless, it's either of two things; Vic is leading us into a trap or this isn't the route that leads to where she has asked that I come to get Drake and Victoria." "We have to turn back around, Saint. We can't continue embarking on a jou

They shook him fervently to make sure that he had been knocked out before they carried his body off of the floor and flung him into his cell. The first guard hurriedly locked the cell and watched Drake's body for a while. His brows creased as worry settled beneath his stomach when he noticed that something was deeply wrong. Drake's body wasn't moving and the regular rise and fall of his chest to induce that he was still breathing was absent. "Did you kill him?!" The first guard's voice trembled as he spoke, "i said did you kill him?!" He asked against in a loud tone but made sure it wasn't loud enough to be heard by Vic. "What do you mean by that, of course we did not!" Another guard replied this time. "Then why is he not breathing?!" The first guard's heart began to pound vigorously in his chest, "Move aside let's see." The other guards shoved him to the side as they made their way forward to see for themselves. They all stared with grave intensity, waiting for Drake's body to

"Make sure that he doesn't disturb me while I'm asleep!" Had been Vic's instructions to the guard before she left. Drake's screams continued to torment Victoria from where she sat in her cell, but she didn't let out a word of complaint, instead, she gritted her teeth and shifted her gaze for the first time on hours onto the floor, enduring the pain his loud screams brought to her ears. She wished that she could do something to make him quiet, he wasn't the only one going through the excruciating pain from the fluid. "Drake, please be quiet...." She tried to form the words, but she couple find the strength to do that, so she sat put and hoped in her heart that he would tire out soon, but that was far from the impossible, because this had been going on for days without any pause. "You just wait and see, Vic. The moment I get out of here, I'm going to slit your throat in half and burn this whole place down.!" Drake threatened still, while shaking the iron bars of the cell with all of
